Item 1. BUSINESS.

Recent Developments - Plan of Liquidation

On February 7, 2007, our Board of Directors approved the sale of a majority of our pharmacy assets (the “Asset Sale”) to Walgreen Co., an Illinois corporation, and Walgreen Eastern Co., Inc., a New York corporation (collectively, “Walgreens”) and a related plan of complete liquidation and dissolution of the Company (the “Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution”) based upon a review of our past performance, projected future growth, ongoing liquidity constraints, vendor relations, industry outlook, and strategic alternatives. At a special meeting of shareholders held on March 30, 2007, our shareholders ratified the sale of a majority of our pharmacy assets and the Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution.

Pursuant to the Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution, as approved by our shareholders, our Board of Directors, without further action by our shareholders, may:
 
 
·
dissolve the Company;
 
 
·
liquidate our assets;
 
 
·
pay, or provide for the payment of, any remaining, legally enforceable obligations of the Company; and
 
 
·
distribute any remaining assets to our shareholders.

Since the approval of the Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution by our shareholders on March 30, 2007, we have begun implementing the plan by attempting to sell our assets and satisfy our obligations. Among other things, on April 4, 2007, we began to the process of closing the Asset Sale to Walgreens. The Asset Sale to Walgreens will be completed on a staggered basis. The closing of the sale of all of the assets to Walgreens is expected to be completed by the end the second quarter of 2007.

Pursuant to our Asset Purchase Agreement with Walgreens, dated February 14, 2007, we will, subject to certain terms and conditions, sell up to 53 of our locations and related assets to Walgreens. Of the 53 locations, 33 of the clinic and Worksite locations will remain open and continue to operate in place. As consideration for this sale, Walgreens will assume only certain of our liabilities, including certain automobile and real estate leases, and will pay us approximately $43.0 million for pharmacy assets, in addition to amounts for customer accounts receivable and inventories related to those locations, subject to certain adjustments.. Up to $3.0 million of the cash proceeds will be placed in escrow for up to one year to satisfy our post-closing indemnification obligations, if any.

In connection with the Asset Sale, Wells Fargo Retail Finance, LLC, as agent for the revolving credit lenders pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement dated as of October 12, 2005 (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated and in effect from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) among (i) Familymeds Group, Inc. (f/k/a Drugmax, Inc.), as Lead Borrower, (ii) the other Borrowers party thereto from time to time, (iii) the Revolving Credit Lenders party thereto from time to time, (iv) and Wells Fargo, has consented to the Asset Sale and the consummation of the sale, subject to various terms and conditions. Among those conditions, we agreed that all proceeds received by us from the sale shall be paid to Wells Fargo for application to the credit facility until all amounts due under the facility are paid in full and the Loan Agreement is terminated. Each such payment of proceeds applied to the credit facility shall permanently reduce the commitments in the amount of such payment.

We intend to sell our remaining assets to several other national and regional pharmacy operators. We also have begun this process. During the first quarter of 2007, we sold 10 underperforming pharmacy locations.  In addition, we have a signed letter of intent to sell or assign 6-8 additional locations which we expect will also close during the second quarter of 2007.

Additionally, we have begun to satisfy certain of our obligations and we have begun to reduce our credit facility with Wells Fargo from the proceeds received from the Asset Sale.

Once the liquidation process is completed, we estimate that the aggregate amount of cash distributions to our shareholders may be in the range of $2.35 to $2.55 per share of Familymeds common stock. However, uncertainties as to the precise net value of our assets, the ultimate amount of our liabilities, the amount of operating costs during this process and the related timing to complete such transactions make it impossible to predict with certainty the actual net cash amount that will ultimately be available for distribution to our shareholders or the timing of any such distribution. See “Risk Factors.”

In connection with the Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution, once the Asset Sale is completed, we intend to file a certificate of dissolution with the State of Nevada, dissolving the Company. Pursuant to Nevada law, we will continue to exist for two years after the dissolution becomes effective or for such longer period as the Nevada courts shall direct, for the purpose of prosecuting and defending suits against us and enabling us gradually to close our business, to dispose of our property, to discharge our liabilities and to distribute to our shareholders any remaining assets. See “Risk Factors.”

Additionally, we intend to close our stock transfer books and discontinue recording transfers of our common stock at the close of business on the date we file the certificate of dissolution with the Nevada Secretary of State, which we refer to as the “final record date.” Thereafter, certificates representing our common stock will not be assignable or transferable on our books except by will, intestate succession or operation of law. The proportionate interests of all of our shareholders will be fixed on the basis of their respective stock holdings at the close of business on the final record date, and, after the final record date, any distributions made by us will be made solely to the shareholders of record at the close of business on the final record date, except as may be necessary to reflect subsequent transfers recorded on our books as a result of any assignments by will, intestate succession or operation of law. See “Risk Factors.”

General Description of the Business

Familymeds Group, Inc. (“Familymeds,” 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.  Familymeds Group, Inc. 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. As of December 30, 2006, we operated 77 Company-owned locations including 74 pharmacies, one health and beauty location, one non-pharmacy mail order center, and a drug distribution business primarily focused on the direct distribution of specialty pharmaceuticals to physicians, medical clinics and other health care providers known as Familymeds Medical Supply.  The Company also franchises 7 pharmacies.  During the first quarter of 2007, we have sold 10 underperforming pharmacy locations and we expect to sell 53 additional locations by the end of the second quarter of 2007 pursuant to a signed asset purchase agreement.  In addition, we have a signed letter of intent to sell or assign 6-8 additional locations which we expect will also close during the second quarter of 2007.  Our pharmacies are located in 13 states and operate under the Familymeds Pharmacy, Arrow Pharmacy & Nutrition Center, and Worksite Pharmacy SM brand names.
 
As of December 30, 2006, the Company had a net shareholders’ deficit of $14.3 million and had incurred net losses of $7.2 million, $54.9 million and $39.8 million for the years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005, and January 1, 2005, respectively. 
 
We are incorporated in the state of Nevada and our corporate offices are located at 312 Farmington Avenue, Farmington, CT 06032, telephone (860) 676-1222.

On January 17, 2007, Familymeds received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market notifying Familymeds that NASDAQ had determined to delist Familymeds’ shares of common stock from the NASDAQ Capital Market effective as of the open of business on January 18, 2007 as a result of Familymeds failure to maintain compliance with 4310(c)(2)(B) (the requirement to maintain a minimum shareholders equity, market value of listed securities, or net income from continuing operations).

On January 18, 2007, Familymeds’ common stock began being quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, which we refer to as the “OTC Bulletin Board,” under the symbol “FMRX.OB.” The OTC Bulletin Board is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last-sale prices and volume information in over-the-counter equity securities. As a result of our common stock being delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, your ability to resell your shares of our common stock could be adversely affected.
 
General information, financial news releases and filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, including annual and quarterly reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to these reports are available free of charge on our website at www.Familymedsgroup.com or www.sec.gov.

Background and Reason for the Asset Sale

During the past two years, we have taken significant steps to improve our operating results, reduce costs and improve our financial performance. These include the sale of common stock for net proceeds of $47.4 million, the redemption of all of its outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, the refinancing of the senior credit facility with a new $65.0 million facility, which allowed for additional borrowing availability, and the sale and discontinuation of a majority of our full-line wholesale drug distribution operations, which had incurred significant losses. 
 
Further, during the second quarter of 2006, we 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. and Deerfield Special Situations Fund International, Limited (collectively, “Deerfield”), pursuant to which Deerfield purchased two secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million (one note in the principal amount of $3.3 million and the second note in the amount of $6.7 million, collectively the “Notes”) and eight warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1.65 million shares of our common stock (the “Warrants”), for an aggregate purchase price of $10.0 million.  The $10.0 million purchase price for the Notes and Warrants was used entirely for an early repayment, settlement and termination of approximately $23.0 million in outstanding subordinated debt and accrued unpaid interest with our former supplier AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation. 
 
Also during the third and fourth quarters of 2006, we closed or sold underperforming stores and continued to evaluate our ongoing operations to improve results.  Despite these efforts, we continued to experience a reduction in gross margins due to the increased number of participants enrolled in Medicare Part D plans and the increased pressure by other third parties to reduce prescription reimbursement rates.   We anticipate that this trend coupled with the announcement that reimbursement for generic prescriptions paid for by state Medicaid agencies would soon be determined as a percentage of Average Manufacturer’s Price or “AMP” will result in further decreases in gross margin.

Further, the introduction of Medicare Part D in 2006 and the resulting decrease in cash paying customers has negatively impacted our cash flow.  Our largest suppliers typically require payment 7 days from the date of purchase; however, payment from Medicare Part D providers and other third party payors is typically received on a 14 to 30 day basis.  As more of our customers continue to enroll in managed care plans such as Medicare Part D, we will continue to experience a decline in our liquidity.  
 
These negative pressures on gross margin coupled with the increasing demand for pharmacists, rising salary requirements, increasing health care costs and professional liability insurance costs, will continue to negatively impact our ability to become profitable. 
 
7

 
During the 2nd half of 2006, we implemented selling and general administrative expense reduction measures, including a workforce reduction of 33 employees at our headquarters in Farmington, Connecticut in July 2006, directed at reducing costs and improving overall liquidity.
 
In addition, during the second, third and fourth quarters of 2006, we also contacted various banking and investment firms in an effort to improve liquidity, provide capital for growth and improve financial results either through a private investment in a public equity (“PIPE”), the refinancing of the current credit facility or through a subordinated tranche B type loan.  These financing alternatives were determined to be very expensive and highly dilutive to our current shareholders.
 
Further, the continued gross margin pressure on prescription drug sales, among other factors, has created a more urgent need for a larger scaled enterprise for our clinic and Worksite Pharmacy business model. We exhaustively sought new capital; however, such financing opportunities were highly dilutive.
 
Familymeds strategic plan has been to seek long term sustainable profits by increasing sales through organic growth, continued focus on same store sales growth and expansion of new pharmacies in clinic and Worksite settings. However, in light of the factors noted above, the current competitive environment and our highly leveraged capital structure, the Board of Directors believed that we lacked the capital resources necessary in the long-term to compete effectively in our industry.  In an effort to maximize the value of the shareholders’ investment in the Company, the Board of Directors decided to examine certain financial and strategic alternatives to the Company remaining independent.
 
In October 2006, the Board of Directors retained JMP Securities LLC (“JMP Securities”) as its financial advisor to examine these alternatives and to contact certain potential strategic and financial partners with respect to a transaction with us.  With the Board of Directors frequent consultation and guidance throughout a process extending many months, management and JMP Securities considered a number of strategic alternatives for us and our business.  This included an analysis of the operating history and prospects for growth of the Company as a whole.
 

The Board of Directors carefully considered each of the offers in light of the current industry issues, the ongoing liquidity issues and the strategic alternatives available to the Company.  The Board of Directors considered the value of each offer, the certainty of closure, the availability of financing to consummate the transaction, the currency offered and the value to shareholders.  After thorough discussions and extensive debate, the Board of Directors agreed to pursue the Walgreens offer.
 
On February 7, 2007, our Board of Directors approved the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution of the Company.  Its decision was based on a review of our past performance, projected future growth, ongoing liquidity constraints, vendor relations, industry outlook, and strategic alternatives.
 
Overview of the Asset Sale

 On February 14, 2007, Familymeds Group, Inc. together with its wholly owned subsidiaries Familymeds, Inc. and Arrow Prescription Corp., entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Walgreen Co., an Illinois corporation, Walgreen Eastern Co., Inc., a New York corporation (together with Walgreen Co., “Walgreens”), pursuant to which we will, subject to certain terms and conditions, sell up to 53 of our locations and related assets to Walgreens (the “Asset Sale”). Of the 53 locations, 33 of the clinic and Worksite locations will remain open and continue to operate in place. As consideration for this sale, Walgreens will assume only certain of our liabilities, including certain automobile and certain real estate leases, and will pay us approximately $43.0 million for pharmacy assets, in addition to amounts for customer accounts receivable and inventories related to those locations, subject to certain adjustments.

We intend to sell our remaining assets to several other national and regional pharmacy operators for cash and assumption of certain real estate leases, subject to closing physical inventory counts.

 
The assets to be sold include all of Familymeds’ right, title and interest in, to and under the assets used to operate its pharmacy business (other than certain excluded assets described below), including:
 
 
·
prescriptions, prescription files and records, customer lists and patient profiles, including refill status reports and insurance coverages;
 
 
·
inventory;
 
 
·
personal property, including furniture, fixtures, equipment, vehicles, leasehold improvements and signage;
 
 
·
improvements, fixtures and other appurtenants located at any of the leased pharmacy locations, including any security deposits, rent credits and allowances paid;
 
 
·
rights and interests in all other Familymeds’ pharmacy assets;
 
 
·
permits and other similar governmental rights;
 
 
·
copies of all books and records;
 
 
·
intellectual property, including copyrights, patent rights, trademarks and trade secrets;
 
 
·
certain assumed contracts;
 
 
·
outstanding customer accounts receivable; and
 
 
·
real property located in Tupelo, Mississippi.
 
The assets excluded from the Asset Sale are all cash, accounts receivable (other than with respect to customers), certain excluded contracts, employee benefit plans and programs, software and websites, corporate minute books, certain excluded inventory, and all tax refunds and credits. Additionally, if the Company fails to receive certain landlord or client consents, Walgreens may choose not to purchase the corresponding locations and the purchase price will be reduced accordingly.
 
Liabilities to be Assumed
 
As additional consideration for the assets to be sold, Walgreens has agreed to assume the obligations of Familymeds under certain assumed contracts, including certain automobile and certain real estate leases. However, Walgreens will not assume, nor be obligated to pay, perform or otherwise discharge any other liability or obligation of Familymeds.

Purchase Price
 
Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Walgreens has agreed to pay us an aggregate estimated purchase price of $43.0 million plus the cost of inventory and customer accounts receivable which we estimate at approximately $17.0 million, for a total estimated purchase price of approximately $60.0 million. However, if the Company fails to receive certain landlord or client consents, Walgreens may choose not to purchase the corresponding locations and the purchase price will be reduced accordingly.
 
The Asset Purchase Agreement provides that the parties will indemnify each other for any losses and expenses incurred by, among other things, breaches of representations, warranties and covenants, subject to specified dollar and time limitations. To secure the Company’s indemnity obligations, the Asset Purchase Agreement provides that $3.0 million of the purchase price shall be placed into escrow until the earlier of one year from the closing date or the final distribution of assets to the Company’s shareholders or dissolution of Familymeds.

Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution

The Board of Directors approved the proposed Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution of the Company (referred to herein as the “Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution”) on February 7, 2007, and our shareholders ratified the plan on March 30, 2007.

The Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution provides that upon its approval by our shareholders, the Board of Directors, without further action by our shareholders, may:
 
 
·
dissolve the Company;
 
 
·
liquidate our assets;
 
 
·
pay, or provide for the payment of, any remaining, legally enforceable obligations of the Company; and
 
 
·
distribute any remaining assets to our shareholders.
 
 
Prior Strategy 
 
Prior to the adoption of the Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution, our strategy since the sale of substantially all of our full-line wholesale drug distribution business in December of 2005 has been to focus on our core business, which includes pharmacy operations, specialty sales, institutional sales, and direct distribution to physicians, medical clinics and other health care providers. Our primary strategy was 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.
 
10

 
Our strategy was to locate specialty clinic and apothecary pharmacy operations near or in medical facilities. The strategy was driven by the location concept whereby situating a clinical or specialty type pharmacy near the point of acute or chronic care provided us with a “first capture” opportunity to service patients when they visit their physicians. This enabled us to collaborate with the physician in the therapeutic regimen and 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, during 2006, we had placed significant emphasis on the injectable and orally administered specialty pharmaceuticals.

Pharmacy Operations 

As of December 30, 2006, we operated 77 Company owned locations including 74 pharmacies, one home health center, one health and beauty location and one non-pharmacy mail order center, in 13 states under the Familymeds Pharmacy, Arrow Pharmacy & Nutrition Center, and Worksite PharmacySM brand names. We had 43 pharmacies which were 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 94% of our net revenues for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. Our corporate pharmacies provide services to approximately 400,000 acute or chronically ill patients, 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.

Our prior strategy also included 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 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).

Worksite PharmacySM

We operate 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 LLC headquarters in Marysville, Ohio. Combined, these employers have more than 14,000 employees and dependents as potential patients.
 
On January 2, 2007, our third Worksite Pharmacy opened to provide exclusive service to Toyota team members, participating on-site suppliers and their dependants. Under the contract with Toyota, Familymeds operates a full service pharmacy at the site of Toyota's newly constructed plant in San Antonio. The plant employs approximately 2,000 Toyota personnel.
  
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. In October 2006, the operations known as Valley Medical Supply were relocated to the Company’s corporate location in Farmington, Connecticut and it is now doing business as Familymeds Medical Supply.  This move reduced operating expenses. 

Revenues from this operation for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were $11.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively.
 
Patient Compliance

We have developed programs designed to improve patient compliance and to reduce costs. For example, we have a prescription compliance program called Reliable Refill, a discount plan called Senior Save15. 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. These and other 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.

Medicare Part D

As of January 1, 2006, Medicare beneficiaries had 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 fiscal year ended December 30, 2006, net revenues from Medicare Part D prescriptions represented 19% 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.

Supply Chain Management

Because of higher purchasing costs due to our inability to buy on a more credit worthy basis during fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, we began to experience a decrease in our ability to supply products to our customers and a decline in our gross margin.

McKesson Corporation and Familymeds Group, Inc. entered into a Supply Agreement effective as of December 28, 2006 and continuing for a term of 3 years. The Supply Agreement may be terminated prior to the 3 year term upon certain conditions including ninety (90) days written notice to the other party. Under the terms of the Supply Agreement, McKesson has agreed to continue as our primary supplier for prescription and non-prescription items. McKesson will continue to provide delivery to our locations up to 5 times per week and we will pay for such goods delivered 7 days from the date of invoice.

Discontinued Operations

During fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, we operated two drug distribution facilities: Valley Drug Company and Valley Drug Company South. During the third quarter of 2005, we determined that we 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, we 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 our wholly-owned subsidiary, Valley Drug Company, including a customer list, furniture, fixtures and equipment located at our New Castle, Pennsylvania facility (the “RDC Sale”). 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. We leased this premises from Becan Development LLC (“Becan”), a company owned by a current director of the Company (Jugal Taneja) and certain former directors, officers and employees of the Company.

  The original lease (dated December 30, 2003) (the “Original Lease”) provided for a term of 15 years, expiring December 30, 2018, and monthly lease payments of $0.017 million.  When the Original Lease was executed, Becan and Valley North entered into a Consent, Subordination and Assumption Agreement (the “Guarantee”) with the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority (“PIDA”) and Regional Industrial Development Corporation of Southwest Pennsylvania (“RIDC”) dated December 30, 2003, pursuant to which, among other things, Becan and Valley Drug Company (Valley North”), jointly and severally, assumed all obligations of RIDC to make payments and discharge all obligations expenses, costs and liabilities of RIDC in connection with the PIDA note (the “PIDA Note”).  The PIDA Note is also secured by the Original Lease and the property.
 
  In connection with the RDC Sale, Becan and Valley North agreed to shorten the lease to five years ending, December 2010, and to sublease the premises to RDC. It was the intent of the parties at that time to assign the lease to RDC upon the consent to such assignment by PIDA.  RDC held back $0.3 million of the purchase price related to the RDC Sale pending receipt of PIDA’s consent. PIDA agreed to consent to the assignment of the lease to RDC subject to the preparation of final documents, including documents evidencing the parties agreement to shorten the maturity of the PIDA Note to five years ending December 2010; but, during October 2006, RDC notified PIDA that it was withdrawing its application to PIDA and that it was no longer willing to assume the lease.   Contemporaneously with its notice to PIDA, RDC notified us that it refused to pay the $0.3 million holdback to Valley because of the delays in obtaining the PIDA consent.  RDC has signed a sublease for the property and remains legally responsible for the lease payments.  In October 2006, we filed a demand for arbitration claiming RDC has acted in bad faith and demanding $0.3 million. Becan and its principals, including Mr. Taneja, indemnified Valley North and us against any claims or demands PIDA may bring against Valley or us in connection with the PIDA Note and will use their best efforts to have Valley released from all obligations under the PIDA Note.

In connection with the sale of these assets, we transferred a portion of the New Castle, Pennsylvania pharmaceutical inventory to our retail pharmacies as well as a portion to its St. Rose, Louisiana facility for continued distribution to our retail pharmacies and for use in the Valley Medical Supply operations. In October 2006, these operations were relocated to our corporate location in Farmington, Connecticut and are now doing business under the name Familymeds Medical Supply.
 
Net revenues related to the discontinued operations were $0.0 million and $103.6 million for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.  During the third quarter 2006, we received notification of a tax assessment from a state tax authority relating to our discontinued operations.  We have accrued $0.2 million of estimated income taxes relating to this matter and is reflected as a component of discontinued operations. The loss from discontinued operations was $1.3 million and $33.0 million the fiscal years ended December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.
 
Industry Overview

The pharmaceutical distribution industry faces numerous challenges and opportunities. While we expect significant growth in this segment of healthcare due to an aging population, the introduction of new pharmaceuticals, rising pharmaceutical prices, increased use of injectable drug therapies, and the expiration of patents for branded pharmaceuticals, we also face challenges due to changes in contracting practices, new Medicare and Medicaid regulations, and third party reimbursement issues.

Our industry has undergone significant changes driven by various efforts to reduce costs. These changes include changes to Medicare, Medicaid or similar government health benefit programs or the amounts paid by those programs for our services. The Medicare Modernization Act, or the MMA, includes a major expansion of the Medicare prescription drug benefit under new Medicare Part D. Beginning in 2006, Medicare beneficiaries may enroll in prescription drug plans offered by private entities that will provide coverage of outpatient prescription drugs. The MMA changes Medicare’s payment methodology from a system based on average wholesale price, or AWP, to one based on average selling price, or ASP. As the ASP methodology of reimbursement is implemented, it may affect our current AWP based reimbursement structure with our private payors.

While we cannot predict the eventual results of these law changes, the effect of the MMA has been to reduce prices and gross margins on some of the drugs that we distribute. Further, if other third-party payors revise their pricing based on new methods of calculating the AWP, or based on ASP, this could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operation, by reducing the pricing and margins on certain of our products should we continue as a going concern.
  
Credit Facility

On October 12, 2005, we entered into a secured senior credit agreement with Wells Fargo Retail Finance, LLC (“WFRF”), which matures in October 2010. Available credit under this facility is based on eligible receivables, inventory and prescription files, as defined in the agreement. The $65.0 million of maximum availability is reduced by a $7.0 million minimum reserve. While the credit facility currently does not require compliance with financial covenants, we have the ability to reduce this minimum reserve by agreeing to implement certain financial covenants. As of December 30, 2006, $37.5 million was outstanding on the line and $0.6 million was available for additional borrowings. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets.
 
In connection with the Asset Sale, Wells Fargo Retail Finance, LLC, as agent for the revolving credit lenders pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement dated as of October 12, 2005 (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated and in effect from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) among (i) Familymeds Group, Inc. (f/k/a Drugmax, Inc.), as Lead Borrower, (ii) the other Borrowers party thereto from time to time, (iii) the Revolving Credit Lenders party thereto from time to time, (iv) and Wells Fargo, has consented to the Asset Sale and the consummation of the sale, subject to various terms and conditions. Among those conditions, we agreed that all proceeds received by us from the sale shall be paid to Wells Fargo for application to the credit facility until all amounts due under the facility are paid in full and the Loan Agreement is terminated. Each such payment of proceeds applied to the credit facility shall permanently reduce the commitments in the amount of such payment.

Competition

The healthcare industry in which we operate is highly competitive. Our failure to compete effectively in this segment has adversely affected our business, financial condition and results of operations. Many of our competitors are offering similar products and services. Some of our competitors have greater resources than we have. These competitive pressures have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We compete on the basis of breadth of our product lines, marketing programs, support services and pricing. Increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced gross margins and loss of market share. Competitors, many of which have significantly greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, include:
  
·
 
Chain drugstores including CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreen’s;
     
·
 
Mass marketers including Target and Wal-Mart;
     
·
 
Warehouse clubs including BJ’s, Costco and Sam’s Club;
     
·
 
Mail order prescription providers including Express Scripts and Medco;
     
·
 
Online drugstores including drugstore.com;
     
·
 
Specialty medication providers including Accredo Health and Priority Healthcare; and
     
·
 
Specialty pharmaceutical distributors including Florida Infusion Pharmacy, Allion Healthcare, Inc., and Bioscrip.

In addition, certain of our competitors have developed or may be able to develop e-commerce operations that compete with our pharmacy and e-commerce operations, and may be able to devote substantially more resources to web site development and systems development. The online commerce market is rapidly evolving and intensely competitive. We expect competition to intensify in the future because barriers to entry are minimal, and current and new competitors can launch new web sites at relatively low cost.

Government Regulations and Legal Uncertainties

We are subject to extensive federal, state and local licensing and registration laws and regulations with respect to our business, including our pharmacy and franchise operations and the pharmacists we employ. Regulations in these areas often involve subjective interpretation and we do not know if our attempts to comply with these regulations will be deemed sufficient by the appropriate regulatory agencies. We believe we have satisfied our licensing and registration requirements and continue to actively monitor our compliance with these requirements. However, violations of any of these regulations could result in various penalties, including suspension or revocation of our licenses or registrations, and seizure of our inventory or monetary fines, any of which could adversely affect our operations and damage our brand.

Our industry has undergone significant changes driven by various efforts to reduce costs. These changes include changes to Medicare, Medicaid or similar government health benefit programs or the amounts paid by those programs for our services. The Medicare Modernization Act, the MMA, includes a major expansion of the Medicare prescription drug benefit under new Medicare Part D. Medicare beneficiaries may enroll in prescription drug plans offered by private entities that will provide coverage of outpatient prescription drugs. The MMA changes Medicare’s payment methodology over the next three years from a system based on average wholesale price, or AWP, to one based on average selling price, or ASP. As the ASP methodology of reimbursement is implemented, it may affect our current AWP based reimbursement structure with our private payors.

We also are subject to requirements under the Controlled Substances Act and Federal Drug Enforcement Agency regulations, as well as state and local laws and regulations related to our pharmacy operations such as registration, security, record keeping and reporting requirements related to the purchase, storage and dispensing of controlled substances, prescription drugs and certain over-the-counter drugs. Under the Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act of 1938, the distribution of adulterated or misbranded homeopathic remedies or other drugs is prohibited. Violations could result in substantial fines and other monetary penalties, seizure of the misbranded or adulterated items, and/or criminal sanctions. We also are required to comply with the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act when selling dietary supplements and vitamins.
 
In addition, our pharmacy compounding services are subject to FDA regulation. The FDA also regulates drug advertising and promotion, including direct-to-patient advertising, done by or on behalf of manufacturers and marketers. If we expand our product and service offerings, more of our products and services will likely be subject to Food and Drug Administration regulation. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in significant penalties which may be material. We also are subject to federal statutes and state legislation that prohibit the offer, payment, solicitation, or receipt of any remuneration directly or indirectly in exchange for, or intended to induce, the referral of patients or the sale or purchase of services and supplies covered by certain governmental programs (Anti-Kickback Laws). We also are subject to the Ethics in Patient Referrals Act of 1989, commonly referred to as “Stark Law,” which prohibits the billing of federally-funded health care programs for certain health care services provided by entities with which the referring physician has certain financial arrangements. Violations of these laws are punishable by civil sanctions, including significant monetary penalties and exclusion from participation in the Medicare and Medicaid programs, and criminal sanctions in the case of the Anti-Kickback Law. Due to the breadth and complexity of these laws, there can be no assurance that we, any of our personnel, or any of our significant customers or business partners, will not become subject to sanctions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, the sanctioning or exclusion of a manufacturer or recipient of our products or services, even for activities unrelated to us, could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Pursuant to the Omnibus Budget and Reconciliation Act of 1990 and similar state and local laws and regulations, our pharmacists are required to offer counseling to our customers about medication, dosage, delivery systems, common side effects, adverse effects or interactions and therapeutic contraindications, proper storage, prescription refill and other information deemed significant by our pharmacists. In the event that our pharmacists or our mail order and online pharmacies provide erroneous or misleading information to our customers, we may be subject to liability or negative publicity that could have an adverse impact on our business. Although we carry general, professional and product liability insurance, our insurance may not cover potential claims of this type or may not be adequate to protect us from all liability that may be imposed.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively “HIPAA”), require health care providers, like us, to comply with specified standards for electronic billing and other transactions and to adopt and comply with policies and procedures to protect the security and privacy of an individual’s protected health information consistent with HIPAA requirements, and prohibit the use or dissemination of an individual’s protected health information without the individual’s consent. There are significant civil monetary and criminal penalties for failure to comply.

Although we do not offer franchises for sale at this time, in the case of renewing franchisees, we are subject to the disclosure requirements of the Federal Trade Commission and may be subject to pre-sale disclosure requirements and registration requirements of various state laws regulating the offer and sale of franchises. In addition, with respect to our existing franchisees, we also may be subject to certain state laws regulating the franchisor-franchisee relationship. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in substantial financial penalties. As of December 30, 2006, we held franchise agreements for seven stores and are not materially dependent on these agreements.
 
16

 
We also are subject to laws governing our relationship with employees, including minimum wage requirements, overtime and working conditions. Increases in the federal minimum wage rate, employee benefit costs or other costs associated with employees could adversely affect our results of operations. Other legislation being considered at the federal and state level could affect our business including state legislation related to the regulation of nonresident pharmacies. We believe we are currently in material compliance with the state and federal laws and regulations governing our business.

As a publicly traded company, we are subject to numerous federal securities laws and regulations. These laws include the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and related rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. These laws and regulations impose significant requirements in the areas of financial reporting, accounting practices, and corporate governance among others.

Recently, many states have passed or have proposed laws and regulations that are intended to protect the integrity of the supply channel. These laws and regulations may also restrict our ability to purchase drugs from alternate source supplier and are likely to increase the overall regulatory burden and costs associated with our drug distribution operations.
 
The costs associated with complying with various federal and state regulations could be significant and the failure to comply with any such legal requirements could have a significant impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Intellectual Property

We hold various trademarks, trade names, service marks, patents and business licenses. These trademarks, service marks and licenses have varying statutory lives and are generally renewable indefinitely. Although we believe that our trademarks and other proprietary products do not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of any third parties, third parties may assert infringement claims against us from time to time.

Employees

At December 30, 2006, we employed 630 persons, which represent 471 full-time equivalents. Approximately 24% of our employees are pharmacists. Labor unions do not represent any of these employees. We believe our relationship with our employees is good.

Item IA. RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the following information about these risks, together with the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K, before you decide to invest. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer. In this case, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

We have a history of losses. Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an opinion with an explanatory paragraph discussing the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

As of December 30, 2006, we had a net stockholders’ deficit of $14.3 million, had incurred net losses of $7.2 million, $54.9 million and $39.8 million for the years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005, and January 1, 2005, respectively and in March 2007 our shareholders approved a Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution of our Company.  The opinion from the independent registered public accounting firm on our consolidated financial statements as of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 30, 2006 was modified with respect to the substantial doubt surrounding our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
Claims related to the plan of liquidation could result in substantial costs and reduce our distributions to shareholders.
 
Extraordinary corporate actions, such as our plan of liquidation, often are not entirely predictable and may lead to claims and lawsuits being filed against companies such as ours. We face the risk that claims might be brought against us by vendors, landlords, customers, employees or shareholders. Any such claim or litigation may be expensive and, even if we ultimately prevail, the process may divert management’s attention from implementing the plan of liquidation and the sale of our remaining assets. It is not possible to predict if any such claims or litigation will be filed against us or the amount attributable to such claims, if any.  Any liability would reduce our cash available for distribution and the ultimate amount of our liquidating distributions to holders of our common stock.
 
Failure to complete the Asset Sale may seriously affect our liquidity and ability to continue as a going concern.
 
The Board of Directors approved the Asset Sale and the Plan of Complete Liquidation in part because we believe that our existing cash and amounts available under our senior credit facility and cash generated from operating activities may not be sufficient to meet our vendor terms and anticipated cash needs for the next 12 months.
 
If we do not complete the Asset Sale, then we will be required to raise additional financing to continue funding our operations. If our capital resources are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity securities or debt securities or obtain other debt financing. The sale of additional equity securities or convertible debt securities would result in additional dilution to our shareholders. Additional debt would result in increased expenses and could result in covenants that would restrict our operations. We have explored obtaining additional financing and there is no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

In the absence of such financing, we may not able to service its debts and may be required to continue to scale back or terminate operations and/or seek protection under applicable United States bankruptcy laws.
 
18

 
If our expectations regarding the conversion of our assets into cash are inaccurate, the amount we distribute to our shareholders may be reduced.
 
The amount of cash we can distribute to shareholders depends, in part, on the amount of cash received from the liquidation of our assets. The ultimate amount that we receive is subject to uncertainties. While we have executed asset purchase agreements and letters of intent, the sales prices contemplated by those agreements and letters of intent are subject to adjustments based on various factors, including our ability to receive certain consents and to maintain current business operations. The sales prices also are conditioned on there being no material adverse effects relating to the pharmacy assets being sold. If a material adverse change should occur or we fail to satisfy a closing condition, we may not realize the estimated amounts related to the sale of our assets. Further, the letters of intent are generally non-binding and thus are still subject to change. Additionally, the ultimate cash distributed to shareholders is also subject to the following:
  
 
·
The sale to Walgreens and others is based in part on the value of our inventory being sold. We have estimated the inventory value. These estimates may change depending on a number of factors including: the actual inventory value or mix on the date of closing, inventory price inflation or deflation during the interim period prior to closing, potential shrinkage of product during the interim period prior to closing, ongoing purchases and sales of inventory during the interim period prior to closing, and certain contractual exclusions, among other factors.
 
 
·
The estimated $60.0 million purchase price for the Asset Sale is based on the assumption that we will obtain all required landlord and client consents. To the extent we cannot obtain such consents, Walgreens may choose not to purchase the corresponding locations and the purchase price will be reduced accordingly.
 
 
·
When estimating the amount of cash to be distributed to shareholders, we have estimated the net realizable value of our accounts receivable that we expect to receive in cash from our customers, third party payors and others. These estimates may change depending on a number of factors including: the actual claims outstanding on the date of closing, increases or decreases in drug reimbursement rates during the interim period prior to closing, uncollectible accounts greater than our estimates, and ongoing sales and cash collections during the interim period prior to closing among other factors.
 
 
·
We have estimated the net realizable value of the sale of our remaining assets, which include a number of assumptions and estimates including the actual sales price of the assets to be sold and liabilities to be assumed, if any. These estimated may prove to be inaccurate.
 
 
·
The timing of the sales of our assets could have an impact on the actual cash proceeds we receive when these assets are sold and liabilities are assumed, if any.
 
If our expectations regarding our liquidation expenses are inaccurate, the amount we distribute to our shareholders may be reduced.
 
The amount of cash ultimately distributed to shareholders also depends on the ultimate amount of our liabilities and the amount of operating costs during the liquidation process. We have attempted to estimate such liabilities and costs. However, those estimated may be inaccurate. Factors that could impact our estimated include the following:
 
 
·
If any of the estimates regarding our plan of liquidation, including our ability to settle our real estate, equipment and other leases, the recovery of our estimated asset amounts, and the settlement of our outstanding obligations during the liquidation process, are inaccurate, the amount we distribute to our shareholders may be reduced. For instance, if claims asserted against us are successful, we will have to pay these claims before making distributions to our shareholders.
 
 
·
We have made certain estimates regarding the cost of personnel required and other operating costs necessary to liquidate and dissolve the Company, many of which could vary significantly and are dependent on the timing of closing of the Asset Sale and the sale of our remaining assets. If the timing differs from our plans, then we may incur additional costs above our current estimates and may distribute less in cash to our shareholders.
 
19

 
 
·
We have assumed that most of the contract rights that we are attempting to sell will be effectively transferred. If we are unable to obtain any required consents with the counterparties to those contracts, our recoveries may be materially lower.
 
 
·
We will remain subject to the reporting obligations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to as the “Exchange Act,” after the completion of our dissolution. Although we intend to request relief from these obligations after the closing of the Asset Sale, we may not receive this relief. If we do not receive this relief, our liquidation expenses will be higher than we expect, which will reduce the amount we are able to distribute to our common shareholders.
 
 
·
We are required to obtain certain third party consents and approvals as a condition to closing the Asset Sale. Currently, we do not expect that the cost of these consents and approvals will be significant. However, if our expectation is incorrect, the amount we distribute to our common shareholders may be reduced.
 
Distributions to our common shareholders could be reduced if our expectations regarding liabilities and operating expenses are inaccurate.
 
Claims, liabilities and expenses from operations (such as operating costs, salaries, directors’ and officers’ insurance, payroll and local taxes, insurance, payroll taxes, rent, utilities, claims processing fees, legal and accounting fees and miscellaneous office expenses) will continue to be incurred as we seek to close the Asset Sale and wind down operations. Any unexpected claims, liabilities or expenses or claims, liabilities or expenses that exceed our estimates or if the timing of the closing is longer than planned, could reduce the amount of cash available for ultimate distribution to common shareholders. If available cash and amounts received on the sale of a majority of our assets are not adequate to provide for our obligations, liabilities, expenses and claims, we may not be able to distribute any cash at all, to our common shareholders.
 
Distributions to our common shareholders could be delayed from our planned time frames.
 
All or a portion of the distribution could be delayed, depending on many factors, including the following:
 
 
·
If lease conditions change, or if we become aware of other factors that we believe could affect our ability to discharge our real property lease obligations, we may be required to withhold additional amounts from our initial distribution until we are able to resolve these obligations.
 
 
·
The Walgreens Asset Purchase Agreement requires that we escrow $3.0 million for a period of one year to satisfy any indemnification obligations under the Asset Purchase Agreement. Further, if Walgreens makes any claims under the indemnification provisions in the Asset Purchase Agreement, we could be required to continue to withhold up to $3.0 million from our final distribution to satisfy such claim, or higher amounts if the claim is based on fraud or intentional misrepresentations.
 
 
·
At the time of our initial distribution to common shareholders, we will not have all of the information we need to estimate our remaining Exchange Act filing obligation expenses accurately. Although we intend to request relief from the SEC regarding these obligations, we will likely not have obtained this relief at the time of our initial distribution.
 
20

 
Additionally, a creditor could seek an injunction against the making of distributions to our shareholders on the ground that the amounts to be distributed were needed to provide for the payment of our liabilities and expenses. Any action of this type could delay or substantially diminish the amount available for distribution to our common shareholders. As a result of these and other factors, we may need to hold back, for distribution at a later date, if at all, some or all of the estimated amounts that we expect to distribute to common shareholders.
 
Our assumptions regarding the federal and state tax consequences of the transaction may be inaccurate.
 
The proposed Asset Sale will be a taxable transaction to us for United States federal income tax purposes and we will recognize a gain if the Asset Sale is completed. We do not believe, however, that there will be material tax payable by us, other than approximately $1.1 million of federal Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”) as a result of limitations on the use of net operating losses under AMT rules. We believe we have sufficient usable net operating losses to offset a majority of the income or gain recognized by us for “regular” federal income tax purposes as a result of the Asset Sale (i.e., other than AMT). We expect that our aggregate gain for federal income tax purposes related to the Asset Sale will be less than $55.0 million. Therefore, we will not set aside any material amounts of cash specifically for the payment of any tax liability, other than the $1.1 million AMT payment that we will make. However, there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or relevant state tax authorities will ultimately assent to our tax treatment of the Asset Sale or the net operating losses. To the extent the Internal Revenue Service or any relevant state tax authorities ultimately prevail in recharacterizing the tax treatment of the Asset Sale or the net operating losses, there may be adverse tax consequences to us and our shareholders, including that we could owe income taxes on up to the entire purchase price and our common shareholders would not receive any distributions or be required to return any distributions they have received.
 
If we fail to create an adequate contingency reserve for payment of our expenses and liabilities, our shareholders could be held liable for payment to our creditors of each such shareholder’s pro rata share of amounts owed to creditors in excess of the contingency reserve, up to the amount actually distributed to such shareholder.
 
We intend to file a certificate of dissolution with the State of Nevada, dissolving Familymeds. Pursuant to Nevada law, we will continue to exist for two years after the dissolution becomes effective or for such longer period as the Nevada courts shall direct, for the purpose of prosecuting and defending suits against us and enabling us gradually to close our business, to dispose of our property, to discharge our liabilities and to distribute to our shareholders any remaining assets. Under Nevada law, in the event we fail to create an adequate contingency reserve for payment of our expenses and liabilities during this two-year period, each shareholder could be held liable for payment to our creditors of such shareholder’s pro rata share of amounts owed to creditors in excess of the contingency reserve, up to the amount actually distributed to such shareholder.
 
However, the liability of any shareholder would be limited to the amounts previously received by such shareholder from us (and from any liquidating trust or trusts) in the dissolution. Accordingly, in such event a shareholder could be required to return all distributions previously made to such shareholder, and in such event, a shareholder could receive nothing from us under Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution of the Company. Moreover, in the event a shareholder has paid taxes on amounts previously received, a repayment of all or a portion of such amount could result in a shareholder incurring a net tax cost if the shareholder’s repayment of an amount previously distributed does not cause a commensurate reduction in taxes payable. There can be no assurance that the contingency reserve established by us will be adequate to cover any expenses and liabilities.
 
Our stock transfer books will close on the date we file the certificate of dissolution with the Nevada Secretary of State, after which it will not be possible for shareholders to publicly trade our stock.
 
We intend to close our stock transfer books and discontinue recording transfers of our common stock at the close of business on the date we file the certificate of dissolution with the Nevada Secretary of State, which we refer to as the “final record date.” Thereafter, certificates representing our common stock shall not be assignable or transferable on our books except by will, intestate succession or operation of law. The proportionate interests of all of our shareholders will be fixed on the basis of their respective stock holdings at the close of business on the final record date, and, after the final record date, any distributions made by us will be made solely to the shareholders of record at the close of business on the final record date, except as may be necessary to reflect subsequent transfers recorded on our books as a result of any assignments by will, intestate succession or operation of law.
 
21

 
We will continue to incur the expenses of complying with public company reporting requirements.
 
We have an obligation to continue to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of the Exchange Act even though compliance with such reporting requirements is economically burdensome. In order to curtail expenses, we intend to, after filing our certificate of dissolution, seek relief from the Securities and Exchange Commission from the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. We anticipate that, if such relief were granted, we would continue to file current reports on Form 8-K to disclose material events relating to our liquidation and dissolution along with any other reports that the Securities and Exchange Commission might require. However, the Securities and Exchange Commission may not grant any such relief and we will be required to continue to incur the costs associated with these reporting requirements which will reduce the cash available for distribution to our shareholders.
 
If we fail to retain the services of certain key personnel, the Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution of the Company may not succeed.
 
The success of the Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution of the Company depends in large part upon our ability to retain the services of certain of our current officers. We expect certain officers to remain as employees to assist in the liquidation after the closing at their current base salaries, without bonus. Failure to retain these personnel could harm the implementation of the Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution of the Company. If we fail to retain the services of these personnel, we will need to hire others to oversee our liquidation and dissolution, which could involve additional compensation expenses, if such other personnel are available at all.
 
Our common stock was delisted from the NASDAQ.
 
On January 17, 2007, we received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market notifying Familymeds that NASDAQ had determined to delist our shares of common stock from the NASDAQ Capital Market effective as of the open of business on January 18, 2007 as a result of our failure to maintain compliance with 4310(c)(2)(B) (the requirement to maintain a minimum shareholders equity, market value of listed securities, or net income from continuing operations).
 
On January 18, 2007, our common stock began being quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, which we refer to as the “OTC Bulletin Board,” under the symbol “FMRX.OB.” The OTC Bulletin Board is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last-sale prices and volume information in over-the-counter equity securities. As a result of our common stock being delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, your ability to resell your shares of our common stock could be adversely affected.

 
None.

Item 2. PROPERTIES.

As of December 30, 2006, other than a single piece of property in Tupelo, Mississippi, we did not own or hold any legal or equitable interest in any real estate, but instead leased all of our locations, including our corporate headquarters, which is located at 312 Farmington Avenue, in Farmington, Connecticut. Our headquarters contains approximately 30,000 square feet. The lease for our headquarters expires July 31, 2007, with a monthly lease payment of $0.05 million.
 
22

 
We also lease our various pharmacy locations many of which are within medical complexes. The leases vary as to rental amounts, expiration dates, renewal options and other rental provisions.

We believe all of our properties have been adequately maintained, are generally in good condition, and are suitable and adequate for our business.

Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

We are not presently subject to any material legal proceedings other than as set forth below:
 
On November 12, 2003, prior to the Merger with FMG, Phil & Kathy’s, Inc. d/b/a Alliance Distributors (“Alliance”) served a complaint against us seeking to recover the non-payment of open invoices approximating $2.0 million based upon an alleged breach of contract for the sale of pharmaceuticals. On December 18, 2003, we filed an answer and counterclaim. The counterclaim seeks to recover lost profits and other damages relating to the sale of twenty allegedly counterfeit bottles of Lipitor by Alliance to us, which we later sold to QK Healthcare, Inc. (“QK”). Alleging that the Lipitor was counterfeit, QK later sued us for breach of contract, violations of the implied warranty of merchantability and fraud. Accordingly, one of our subsidiaries, Valley Drug Company (“Valley”), also filed a separate action against Alliance for breach of an indemnification agreement related to the sale of the twenty bottles of Lipitor that precipitated a lawsuit against Valley by QK in New York. We intend to vigorously defend Alliance’s breach of contract action and prosecute our counterclaim. At December 30, 2006, the amount that we recorded as a trade payable balance due Alliance on the above was approximately $1.5 million. Under our indemnification agreement with Alliance, pursuant to which Alliance is required to indemnify us for all losses, expenses and damages sustained by us as a result of product sold to us by Alliance, and our right to offset our losses, expenses and damages against any amounts due to Alliance, we reduced the payable to Alliance by the cost of the faulty Lipitor sold to us by Alliance plus the settlement and litigation expenses incurred by us directly as a result of the Lipitor, or an aggregate of $0.5 million. We have recorded the foregoing trade payable of $1.5 million as of December 30, 2006, and we believe this estimate is reasonable based on the information we have at this time; however, we cannot reasonably estimate the total future possible loss that we will sustain as a result of the Alliance complaint or the possible recovery through our counterclaim or Valley’s consolidated action. The parties have already exchanged written discovery.  The parties attempted to mediate this matter during the month of January 2006. A motion for summary judgment was filed by the plaintiffs and they were granted a partial judgment. The parties are awaiting disposition on the motion for clarification of the summary judgment. The court has set no trial date.

From time to time, we may become involved in additional litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with counsel, the disposition of these matters arising in the normal course of business is not likely to have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our financial statements.

Familymeds has not declared or paid any dividends on its common stock previously. We intend to close our stock transfer books and discontinue recording transfers of our common stock at the close of business on the date we file the certificate of dissolution with the Nevada Secretary of State, which we refer to as the “final record date.” Thereafter, certificates representing our common stock shall not be assignable or transferable on our books except by will, intestate succession or operation of law.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

The selected consolidated financial information below has been derived from Familymeds Group, Inc.’s consolidated financial statements. On November 12, 2004, Familymeds Group, Inc. (“FMG”) merged with DrugMax, Inc. and for accounting purposes FMG was the acquirer. The historical information below is that of FMG and includes financial results for the acquired operations of DrugMax, Inc. for the post-Merger period subsequent to November 12, 2004. See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for a discussion of the basis of the presentation and significant accounting policies of the consolidated financial information set forth below. You should read this information in conjunction with Familymeds’ consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. During 2005, we sold or eliminated substantially all of the operations acquired in the Merger. Such operations are classified as discontinued operations below. On March 30, 2007, the shareholders of the Company voted to approve the sale of a majority of pharmacy assets to Walgreen Co. and Walgreen Eastern Co. Inc. Shareholders also voted to approve and adopt a plan of complete liquidation and dissolution of the Company and the transactions contemplated thereby pursuant to which the Company will be dissolved and liquidated. The information presented herein does not include any adjustments necessary to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability of assets or the settlement of liabilities that will result from the liquidation. Accordingly, the information below is presented on the basis of a going concern. Any adjustments which may be required once adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting is required cannot be estimated at this time.

(1)
Results for substantially all of the drug distribution operations subsequent to the November 12, 2004 Merger are included in discontinued operations. The effect of 53 weeks in the fiscal year ended January 1, 2005 was to increase revenues by $4.0 million.
   
(2)
Includes $1.0 million, $1.7 million and $4.3 million of non-cash interest in fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. $4.0 million of the $4.3 million noncash interest expense in fiscal 2003 relates to interest on convertible notes issued to former FMG shareholders, which notes were converted to common stock in connection with the Merger.
   
(3)
During fiscal 2002, FMG adopted new accounting standards related to goodwill resulting in a charge of $0.9 million and negative goodwill resulting in a benefit of $0.2 million.
   
(4)
Included in loss from discontinued operations are operating losses of $ 1.3 million, $5.7 million and $0.3 million, impairment write downs of goodwill and other intangible assets of $0.0 million, $22.6 million and $31.0 million, and other exit losses, primarily representing estimated losses on accounts receivable, inventory and vendor chargebacks of $1.0 million, $4.7 million and $0.0 million, for fiscal years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively.
   
(5)
The weighted average shares used in the calculation of net loss per share have been retroactively restated to give effect to the Merger of Familymeds with FMG. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse Merger with FMG deemed the accounting acquirer. Accordingly, for periods prior to the Merger, the shares outstanding represent the number of shares that former FMG common shareholders would have received in the transaction, on an as-if converted basis, had the Merger consideration not been distributed to the preferred shareholders based on liquidation values. For periods subsequent to the Merger, shares outstanding represent actual weighted average shares outstanding.
   
(6)
The shares used in basic and diluted loss per common share have been restated to reflect the 1 for 10 reverse stock split in August 2006.
   
(7)
Represents the long-term portion of the $23.0 million of accounts payable that were converted into two subordinated notes payable on March 21, 2005.

Item 7. 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 consolidated financial statements and the related notes. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon our current expectations, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, that involve risks and uncertainties 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, including, but not limited to, those set forth in the following discussion and under Item I.A. - “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

On February 7, 2007, our Board of Directors approved the sale of the majority of its pharmacy assets and a Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution of the Company.  Its decision was based on a review of the Company’s past performance, projected future growth, ongoing liquidity constraints, vendor relations, industry outlook, and strategic alternatives.

On February 14, 2007, Familymeds Group, Inc. (“Familymeds”) together with its wholly owned subsidiaries Familymeds, Inc. and Arrow Prescription Corp., entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Walgreen Co., an Illinois corporation, Walgreen Eastern Co., Inc., a New York corporation (together with Walgreen Co., “Walgreens”), pursuant to which we will, subject to certain terms and conditions, sell up to 53 of the Company’s locations and related assets to Walgreens (the “Asset Sale”). The Company intends to sell the remaining assets to several other national and regional pharmacy operators.

On March 30, 2007, Familymeds Group, Inc.’s shareholders voted to approve the Asset Sale. Shareholders also voted to approve and adopt a plan of complete liquidation and dissolution of the Company and the transactions contemplated thereby pursuant to which the Company will be dissolved and liquidated
 
Comparison of Operating Results for Continuing Operations for the Fiscal Years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and January 1, 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 customers 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 92% of pharmacy’s Rx sales in the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006 and 94% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, respectively.

For financial statement presentation purposes, the Company has reported substantially all of the wholesale distribution business as discontinued operations.

The net effect of store openings/closings represents the difference in revenues by eliminating stores that were not open during the full periods compared. We closed four stores during fiscal 2006 that accounted for $6.3 million of net revenues and opened two new stores that added $3.0 million of net revenues during the year. We closed seven stores during fiscal 2004 that accounted for $2.8 million of net revenue and opened two new stores during the year that added $0.2 million of net revenues.

Prescription sales were negatively impacted during fiscal 2005 compared to fiscal 2004 due to the disruptions to our supply chain resulting from Hurricane Katrina as well as higher purchasing costs due to our inability to buy on a more credit worthy basis.

The Company’s fiscal year is a 52 or 53 week period ending on Saturday nearest to December 31. Fiscal 2004, which ended on January 1, 2005, included 53 weeks. Fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005, which ended on December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, each included 52 weeks.

Gross Margin

Gross margin was $44.9 million or 19.5 % in fiscal 2006, a 52 week year. This compares to $42.4 million or 19.6 % in fiscal 2005, a 52 week year and $46.6 million or 20.8% in fiscal 2004, a 53 week year. Fiscal 2006 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.

Total Operating Expenses

Operating expenses include selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, depreciation and amortization expense, write-downs of goodwill and long-lived assets, and the gain or loss on disposal of fixed assets and intangible assets and restructuring expenses. Intangible assets include the amounts allocated to prescription files for prescriptions acquired in previous purchase business combinations of the pharmacy operations. A prescription file refers to the actual prescription maintained by a pharmacy for each prescription filled. Each prescription file has monetary value to a pharmacy because when pharmacies and/or prescription files are sold, the customers are more likely to leave their accounts with the purchaser than to transfer their business to a third-party pharmacy, as such the prescription base is thought of as a repeatable source of revenue. Accordingly, when pharmacies are sold, the number of prescription files is taken into consideration when determining the purchase price of the pharmacy. Intangible assets also include goodwill, trademarks, and authorized distributor licenses. Total operating expenses were $58.3 million or 25.3% of net revenues in fiscal 2006. This compares to $58.9 million or 27.3% of net revenues in fiscal 2005 and $50.2 million or 22.4% of net revenues in fiscal 2004.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2005 mainly relates to the Merger consummated and includes $6.1 million of noncash stock compensation expense and increased fees and expenses of $1.7 million attributable to costs associated with being a public company. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses during fiscal 2006 is primarily due to a reduction in noncash stock compensation expense of $5.5 million, offset by higher expenses in the physician distribution business of $1.1 million, and higher payroll, recruiting and benefit costs of $3.3 million.

(2)
Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $3.4 million, $4.4 million and $4.8 million for fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. 

(3)
During fiscal 2006, we expensed approximately $3.1 million related to the impairment of goodwill, tradename and wholesale distributor contracts of the Familymeds Medical Supply business. We have estimated that any proceeds which may be realized from sale of this business in connection with the liquidation of the Company will not be sufficient to recover these amounts.  During fiscal 2005 and 2004, we expensed approximately $0.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively, related to the impairment of prescription file intangible assets and estimated lease obligations for sold stores.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $5.5 million, $5.9 million and $5.7 million for fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In connection with the Merger, Familymeds issued warrants to purchase 350,009 shares of Familymeds common stock at $26.10 per share to the former FMG shareholders, warrant holders and note holders. The warrants were allocated among the FMG shareholders, warrant holders and note holders in the same manner as the Familymeds common stock. Familymeds recorded noncash interest expense of approximately $1.7 million in fiscal 2004 related to the portion of the warrants issued to the former FMG note holders. The charge was based on the fair value of the warrants to purchase 70,433 shares at $26.10 per share issued to the FMG noteholders, using a Black Scholes valuation as of the Merger date.

Familymeds recorded noncash interest expense of $1.6 million in 2006, consisting of $0.3 million of amortization of the debt discount on the Deerfield loan, $0.3 million amortization of deferred financing fees and $1.0 million of interest expense paid in Familymeds common stock to AmerisourceBergen and Deerfield.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006 included a gain on the extinguishment of the debt of $13.1 million. We extinguished this debt on June 29, 2006. There were no amounts related to the gain on extinguishment of this debt for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 or January 1, 2005, respectively.
 
Income Taxes

No income tax benefit has been recorded in any period presented due to the uncertainty of realization of any related deferred tax asset.

Loss from Continuing Operations
 
We incurred a loss from continuing operations of $5.9 million for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006 versus $21.9 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and $8.6 million for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2005. The decrease in loss from continuing operations in fiscal year 2006 compared to fiscal year 2005 results are primarily related to the gain on the extinguishment of debt of $13.1 million, gross margin improvements of $2.4 million and reduced operating expenses of $0.6 million. The increase in the loss from continuing operations in fiscal year 2005 compared to fiscal year 2004 results are primarily from $6.1 million of noncash stock compensation expense attributable to the Merger, $1.7 million of expenses attributable to costs associated with being a public company, and a $4.2 million reduction in gross margin resulting primarily from the effect of one less week of operations in fiscal year 2005 versus 2004 and overall reductions in revenue.

Loss from Discontinued Operations
 
The loss from discontinued operations of $1.3 million, $33.0 million and $31.3 million for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and for the period November 12, 2004 (the Merger date) to January 1, 2005, respectively, represents the loss from operations of the discontinued operations of $0.3 million, $5.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and loss on disposal of the discontinued operations of $1.0 million, $27.3 million and $31.0 million, respectively. The loss on disposal of discontinued operations includes goodwill and other intangible asset impairments of $0.0 million and $22.6 million and other exit losses primarily representing estimated losses on accounts receivable, inventory and vendor chargebacks, of $1.0 million and $4.7 million, for fiscal years ended December 30, 2006, and December 31, 2005, respectively.

Net Loss Per Share Available to Common Shareholders
 
Net loss per basic and diluted share available to common shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006 was $1.04 compared to $19.00 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and $135.71 for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2005.

Loss from continuing operations per basic and diluted share available to common shareholders for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006 was $0.85, compared to losses from continuing operations per basic and diluted share available to common shareholders for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005 of $8.40 and $51.94, respectively. The loss from discontinued operations per basic and diluted fiscal year ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005 was $0.19 and $10.60 and $83.77, respectively.

Inflation and Seasonality

Management believes that inflation had no material effect on the operations or our financial condition for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006. Historically, our third quarter business has been affected by seasonality and has been lower than our other three fiscal quarters’ business due to the effect of reduced patient visits and doctor referrals during typical summer vacation months.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
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 December 30, 2006, consisted of cash and cash equivalents of approximately $0.8 million along with approximately $0.6 million in availability under our $65.0 million revolving credit facility.

The Board of Directors approved the Asset Sale and the Plan of Complete Liquidation in part because we believe that our existing cash and amounts available under our senior credit facility and cash generated from operating activities may not be sufficient to meet our vendor terms and anticipated cash needs for the next 12 months.
 
If the Company does not complete the Asset Sale, then it will be required to raise additional financing to continue funding its operations. If our capital resources are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity securities or debt securities or obtain other debt financing. The sale of additional equity securities or convertible debt securities would result in additional dilution to our shareholders. Additional debt would result in increased expenses and could result in covenants that would restrict our operations. We have explored obtaining additional financing and there is no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

In the absence of such financing, the Company may not able to service its debts and may be required to continue to scale back or terminate operations and/or seek protection under applicable United States bankruptcy laws.
 
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 $65.0 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. 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 December 30, 2006 was 8.25%. As of December 30, 2006, the interest rate, including applicable margin, used to calculate accrued interest was 8.50%. Interest is payable monthly.

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.
 
33

 
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 December 30, 2006, $37.5 million was outstanding on the revolving line of credit and $0.6 million was available for additional borrowings, based on eligible receivables, inventory and prescription files.

In connection with the Asset Sale, Wells Fargo Retail Finance, LLC, as agent for the revolving credit lenders pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement dated as of October 12, 2005 (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated and in effect from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) among (i) Familymeds Group, Inc. (f/k/a Drugmax, Inc.), as Lead Borrower, (ii) the other Borrowers party thereto from time to time, (iii) the Revolving Credit Lenders party thereto from time to time, (iv) and Wells Fargo, has consented to the Asset Sale and the consummation of the sale, subject to various terms and conditions. Among those conditions, we agreed that all proceeds received by us from the sale shall be paid to Wells Fargo for application to the credit facility until all amounts due under the facility are paid in full and the Loan Agreement is terminated. Each such payment of proceeds applied to the credit facility shall permanently reduce the commitments in the amount of such payment.
  
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 $10.0 million.
 
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 $10.0 million (one note in the principal amount of $3.3 million and the second note in the amount of $6.7 million collectively the “Notes”) and eight warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1.65 million shares of Familymeds Group, Inc. common stock (the “Warrants”), for an aggregate purchase price of $10.0 million.

The $10.0 million purchase price for the Notes and Warrants was used entirely for an early repayment, settlement and termination of approximately $23.0 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 $10.0 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. We extinguished the ABDC Notes on June 29, 2006 which resulted in a gain on the extinguishment of $13.1 million.
 
34

 
Principal on each of the Notes is due and payable in successive quarterly installments each in the amount of $0.2 million and $0.3 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 records the average quarterly interest expense and records a corresponding asset or liability for the difference not currently payable each quarter. As of December 30, 2006, the Company has classified this liability as current as it expects to retire this obligation within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
    
In lieu of making any quarterly interest payments in cash during the first and second year of the Notes, the Company may issue and deliver to Deerfield shares of common stock.  Pursuant to an amendment in October 2006, such shares shall be issued annually and Deerfield shall not be able to transfer or sell such shares until such time as the interest payment represented by those shares shall become due.  During the fourth quarter of 2006, 58,878 shares of common stock were issued to Deerfield representing the first year’s interest.

On December 15, 2006, the Company and Deerfield agreed pursuant to an amendment to the Notes and an investor rights agreement, that in lieu of making the December 1, 2006 principal payment in cash, the Company shall issue and deliver to Deerfield a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Borrower equal to 269,059.

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.
 
The Notes are secured by subordinated security interests in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, Familymeds, Inc. 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, Inc. 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, 1.65 million of stock warrants were issued as follows: warrants for 0.30 million common shares were issued at an exercise price of $6.10 per share; warrants for 0.55 million common shares were issued at an exercise price of $7.50 per share; warrants for 0.55 million common shares were issued at an exercise price of $7.80 per share; and warrants for 0.25 million common shares were issued at an exercise price of $9.20 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.

On June 29, 2006, 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.

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. We do not believe the adoption will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations as a full valuation allowance has been established.
 
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin, or SAB, No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. SAB No. 108 provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be taken into consideration when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements for purposes of determining whether the current year’s financial statements are materially misstated. SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ending on or after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB No. 108 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

The Company has begun to implement the Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution ratified by its shareholders on March 30, 2007, pursuant to which the Company intends to liquidate its assets and satisfy its obligations. The Company anticipates that it will have sold substantially all of its assets by the end of the second quarter of 2007. However, the Company can make no assurances with regard to the timing of the liquidation (see “Risk Factors”).

(2)
As of December 31, 2006, $37.5 million was outstanding on our New Credit Facility, $9.0 million was outstanding on the Deerfield notes payable and $0.1 million was outstanding on the promissory notes payable. As of December 30, 2006, the Company has classified its debt as current as it expects to retire these obligations within 12 months.

(3)
Purchase obligations represent the $150 million minimum purchase commitments determined on a 12 month basis required under our existing supply agreements.

(4)
Operating leases relate primarily to our store locations and equipment. These amounts have not been adjusted for the effect of the sale of our assets and Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution. However, we assume that these leases will be settled within the next three years.

(5)
Estimated future interest expense for long-term debt, includes interest on the New Credit Facility. Interest on the New Credit Facility is based on the amounts outstanding and interest rate as of December 30, 2006.
 
See “Debt,” “Leases” and “Commitments and Contingencies” in the accompanying notes to our consolidated financial statements for further information about the above items.

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 many of our store 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 consolidated financial statements, which 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 estimate. 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. The following represents accounting related to the going concern basis. On March 30, 2007, the date of shareholder approval of our Plan of Liquidation, the Company adopted the liquidation basis of accounting. Any adjustments as a result of such adoption can not be estimated at this time.
 
Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets - Merger Related
 
The Merger resulted in $51.8 million of goodwill and $5.6 million of other intangible assets. The values assigned to goodwill and intangibles, as well as their related useful lives, are subject to judgment and estimation by the Company. Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets related to the Merger were determined based on the purchase price allocation. The valuation of the identifiable intangible assets acquired was based on the estimated cash flows related to those assets, while the initial value assigned to goodwill was the residual of the purchase price over the fair value of all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Judgments were required to estimate future cash flows in order to determine the fair values of the identifiable intangible assets acquired as well as estimate the useful lives for the identifiable assets to be amortized over. 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. Downward movement in the Company’s common stock price has a material effect on the fair value of goodwill in future measurement periods.
 
During the third quarter of 2005, we determined that we would discontinue substantially all of the drug distribution operations acquired in the Merger.

We completed impairment tests of the goodwill and other intangibles related to the Merger which resulted in impairment charges of $3.1 million in fiscal 2006, $19.4 million in fiscal 2005 and $31.0 million in fiscal 2004. During fiscal 2006, these charges are included in the loss from continuing operations. During fiscal 2005 and 2004, these charges are included in the loss from discontinued operations. During fiscal 2006, we recorded impairment charges of $1.4 million related to goodwill, $1.5 million related to wholesale distributor contracts and $0.2 million related to the tradename, respectively. Also during fiscal 2005, we recorded impairment charges of $3.2 million related to trademarks and customer list associated with the discontinued operations and is included in the loss form discontinued operations. Significant judgments and estimates were required in connection with the impairment test to determine the estimated future cash flows and fair value of the reporting unit. To the extent our estimates change in the future, further writedowns may occur. As of December 30, 2006, we had remaining goodwill of $0.0 million recorded and remaining other intangible assets of $0.0 million related to the Merger.

Impairment of Other Long-lived Assets

The Company reviews other long-lived assets, including property plant and 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 discounted cash flows for the assets. For purposes of recognizing and measuring impairment of other long-lived assets, the Company evaluates assets at the store level for pharmacy operations.

Our impairment loss calculations contain uncertainty since we must use judgment to estimate future sales, 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, 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 December 30, 2006 were approximately $6.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and $5.0 million and $4.9 million, respectively, at December 31, 2005.

Trade Receivables - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

At December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, trade receivables reflected approximately $19.7 million and $15.7 million, respectively, of amounts due from various insurance companies, governmental agencies and individual customers. Of these amounts, there was approximately $3.7 million and $2.8 million reserved as of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, for a balance of net trade receivables of $16.0 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 December 30, 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 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 December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were approximately $25.0 million and $32.7 million, respectively, net of approximately $2.6 million and $2.1 million of inventory loss reserves, respectively. Any changes to the realization of this amount in future periods will be reflected in discontinued operations.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The consolidated financial statements and related data presented in this Form 10-K have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations during the three years ended December 30, 2006.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Familymeds Group, Inc.
Farmington, Connecticut

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Familymeds Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (formerly DrugMax, Inc.) (the “Company”) as of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' (deficit) equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 30, 2006.  Our audits also included the consolidated financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15.  These consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement schedule based on our audits.

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

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Familymeds Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 30, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), Share Based Payment, applying the modified prospective method.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's recurring losses, stockholders’ deficit and the approval by the Company’s stockholders of a plan of liquidation raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these matters.

FAMILYMEDS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 30, 1006, DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND JANUARY 1, 2005
 
1.
ASSET SALE, PLAN OF COMPLETE LIQUIDATION AND DISSOLUTION, BUSINESS, DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
 
Familymeds Group, Inc. (“Familymeds,” 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.  Familymeds Group, Inc. 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. As of December 30, 2006, we operated 77 Company-owned locations including 74 pharmacies, one health and beauty location, one non-pharmacy mail order center, and a drug distribution business primarily focused on the direct distribution of specialty pharmaceuticals to physicians, medical clinics and other health care providers known as Familymeds Medical Supply.  The Company also franchises 7 pharmacies.   The Company’s pharmacies are located in 13 states and operate under the Familymeds Pharmacy, Arrow Pharmacy & Nutrition Center, and Worksite Pharmacy SM brand names.
 
As of December 30, 2006, the Company had a net shareholders’ deficit of $14.3 million and had incurred net losses of $7.2 million, $54.9 million and $39.8 million for the years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005, and January 1, 2005, respectively. 

During the past two years, the Company has taken significant steps to improve its operating results, reduce costs and improve its financial performance. These include the sale of common stock for net proceeds of $47.4 million, the redemption of all of its outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, the refinancing of the senior credit facility with a new $65.0 million facility, which allowed for additional borrowing availability, and the sale and discontinuation of a majority of the Company’s full-line wholesale drug distribution operations, which had incurred significant losses. 
 
Further, during the second quarter of 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. and Deerfield Special Situations Fund International, Limited (collectively, “Deerfield”), pursuant to which Deerfield purchased two secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million (one note in the principal amount of $3.3 million and the second note in the amount of $6.7 million, collectively the “Notes”) and eight warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1.65 million shares of Company common stock (the “Warrants”), for an aggregate purchase price of $10.0 million.  The $10.0 million purchase price for the Notes and Warrants was used entirely for an early repayment, settlement and termination of approximately $23.0 million in outstanding subordinated debt and accrued unpaid interest with the Company’s former supplier AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation. 
 
Also during the third and fourth quarters of 2006, the Company closed or sold underperforming stores and continued to evaluate its ongoing operations to improve results.  Despite these efforts, the Company continued to experience a reduction in gross margins due to the increased number of participants enrolled in Medicare Part D plans and the increased pressure by other third parties to reduce prescription reimbursement rates.  
 
These negative pressures on gross margin coupled with the increasing demand for pharmacists, rising salary requirements, increasing health care costs and professional liability insurance costs, will continue to negatively impact the Company’s ability to become profitable. 
 
F-7

 
During the 2nd half of 2006 the Company implemented selling and general administrative expense reduction measures, including a workforce reduction of 33 employees at the Company headquarters in Farmington, Connecticut in July 2006, directed at reducing costs and improving overall liquidity.
 
The continued gross margin pressure on prescription drug sales, among other factors, has created a more urgent need for a larger scaled enterprise for its clinic and Worksite Pharmacy business model. The Company exhaustively sought new capital; however, such financing opportunities were highly dilutive.
 
Familymeds strategic plan has been to seek long term sustainable profits by increasing sales through organic growth, continued focus on same store sales growth and expansion of new pharmacies in clinic and Worksite settings. However, in light of the factors noted above, the current competitive environment and the Company’s highly leveraged capital structure, the Board of Directors believed that the Company lacked the capital resources necessary in the long-term to compete effectively in its industry.  In an effort to maximize the value of the shareholders’ investment in the Company, the Board of Directors decided to examine certain financial and strategic alternatives to the Company remaining independent.
 
In October 2006, the Board of Directors retained JMP Securities LLC (“JMP Securities”) as its financial advisor to examine these alternatives and to contact certain potential strategic and financial partners with respect to a transaction with the Company.  With the Board of Directors frequent consultation and guidance throughout a process extending many months, management and JMP Securities considered a number of strategic alternatives for the Company and its business.  This included an analysis of the operating history and prospects for growth of the Company as a whole.
 
By December 2006, the Company received several written indications of interest and verbal expressions of continued interest.  The proposals were in the form of financing commitments, stock exchanges, and others in the form of asset purchases.   
 
On February 7, 2007, our Board of Directors approved the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution of the Company.  Its decision was based on a review of the Company’s past performance, projected future growth, ongoing liquidity constraints, vendor relations, industry outlook, and strategic alternatives.

Asset Sale

On February 14, 2007, Familymeds Group, Inc. together with its wholly owned subsidiaries Familymeds, Inc. and Arrow Prescription Corp., entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Walgreen Co., an Illinois corporation, Walgreen Eastern Co., Inc., a New York corporation (together with Walgreen Co., “Walgreens”), pursuant to which the Company will, subject to certain terms and conditions, sell up to 53 of our locations and related assets to Walgreens (the “Asset Sale”). Of the 53 locations, 33 of the clinic and Worksite locations will remain open and continue to operate in place. As consideration for this sale, Walgreens will assume only certain of our liabilities, including certain automobile and certain real estate leases, and will pay us approximately $43.0 million in addition to amounts to be paid for customer accounts receivable and inventories related to those locations. $3.0 million of the purchase price shall be placed into escrow until the earlier of one year from the closing date or the final distribution of assets to the Company’s shareholders or dissolution of Familymeds.

The Company intends to sell its remaining assets to several other national and regional pharmacy operators for cash and assumption of certain real estate leases, subject to closing physical inventory counts.

On March 30, 2007, Familymeds Group, Inc.’s shareholders voted to approve the sale of a majority of pharmacy assets to Walgreen Co. and Walgreen Eastern Co. Inc. Shareholders also voted to approve and adopt a plan of complete liquidation and dissolution of the Company and the transactions contemplated thereby pursuant to which the Company will be dissolved and liquidated.

Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution

As discussed above, Familymeds’ Board of Directors approved the proposed Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution of Familymeds (referred to herein as the “Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution”) on February 7, 2007, subject to the approval of its shareholders which was obtained at the Special Meeting held March 30, 2007.

The Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution provides that upon its approval by its shareholders, the Board of Directors, without further action by the Company’s shareholders, may:
 
 
·
dissolve Familymeds;
 
 
·
liquidate the Company’s assets;
 
 
·
pay, or provide for the payment of, any remaining, legally enforceable obligations of Familymeds; and
 
 
·
distribute any remaining assets to the Company’s shareholders.

Business- 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. Accordingly, for periods prior to the Merger, the information contained herein is the historical information of FMG. On July 10, 2006, DrugMax changed its name back to Familymeds Group, Inc,
 
The results of operations acquired in the merger have been included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations (primarily in discontinued operations as described below) since the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed of $50.8 million was allocated to goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price was finalized during the nine months ended October 1, 2005 resulting in an increase of $1.0 million in goodwill. In connection with the Merger, the Company terminated certain DrugMax employees. Included in a restructuring liability as of the Merger date was a severance obligation of approximately $1.0 million. The total amount of the severance obligation was reduced by payments during 2006 to $0.3 million. Additionally, an accrued lease liability of $0.1 million was recorded related to an office location that is no longer used by the Company.
 
The purchase price of approximately $44.6 million represents the fair value ($37.8 million) of the shares of the Company’s common stock retained by the existing common shareholders of Familymeds Group, Inc., the value ($5.2 million) of outstanding DrugMax options which vested in connection with the Merger and $1.6 million of Merger costs.
 
In the Merger, the shareholders of FMG (along with certain FMG warrant holders and note holders) received an aggregate of 1,047,806 shares of the Company’s common stock along with warrants to purchase an additional 353,850 shares of the Company’s common stock. The exercise price of the warrants is $26.10 per share. In addition, in connection with the Merger, the Company issued an aggregate of 65,605 shares of restricted common stock, along with options to purchase an additional 157,284 shares of common stock, to certain employees and directors of FMG who agreed to continue providing services post-Merger. The exercise price of the stock options is $5.70 per share. The noncash compensation charge recorded during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005 relating to the restricted stock and stock options related to the Merger was $5.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively, which was based on the provisions of the restricted stock and stock option agreements. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, an additional 3,814 warrants were issued to former FMG shareholders. These additional warrants were valued at $0.05 million which was reflected as an adjustment to goodwill during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

Discontinued Operations- 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 incurred approximately $0.8 million of incremental costs related to closing the facility and relocating the inventory and operations to the Company’s New Castle facility. Additionally, provisions for bad debts of $0.5 million were recorded related to estimated losses resulting from customers whose businesses were affected by the hurricane and the related unamortized customer list asset of $0.5 million was also written off. These costs were expensed and included in loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Company is attempting to recover these costs through insurance claims. No amounts have been recorded related to the expected recovery from insurance and the Company is still pursuing reimbursement efforts.

During the third quarter of 2005, the Company determined that it would sell certain assets of its wholesale drug distribution business and discontinue a significant portion of the operations for the year ended December 31, 2005 conducted out of the New Castle, Pennsylvania facility. The Company continued to purchase pharmaceuticals utilizing the authorized distributor agreements and distribute pharmaceuticals directly to physicians, medical clinics and other health care providers. Revenues for this portion of the drug distribution operations were $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 and are included in continuing 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 (the “RDC Sale”). 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 leased this premises from Becan Development LLC (“Becan”), a company owned by a current director of the Company (Jugal Taneja) and certain former directors, officers and employees of the Company.

The original lease (dated December 30, 2003) (the “Original Lease”) provided for a term of 15 years, expiring December 30, 2018, and monthly lease payments of $0.017 million.  When the Original Lease was executed, Becan and Valley North entered into a Consent, Subordination and Assumption Agreement (the “Guarantee”) with the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority (“PIDA”) and Regional Industrial Development Corporation of Southwest Pennsylvania (“RIDC”) dated December 30, 2003, pursuant to which, among other things, Becan and Valley Drug Company (Valley North”), jointly and severally, assumed all obligations of RIDC to make payments and discharge all obligations expenses, costs and liabilities of RIDC in connection with the PIDA note (the “PIDA Note”).  The PIDA Note is also secured by the Original Lease and the property.
 
In connection with RDC Sale, Becan and Valley North agreed to shorten the lease to five years ending, December 2010, and to sublease the premises to RDC. It was the intent of the parties at that time to assign the lease to RDC upon the consent to such assignment by PIDA.  RDC held back $0.3 million of the purchase price related to the RDC Sale pending receipt of PIDA’s consent. Recently, PIDA agreed to consent to the assignment of the lease to RDC subject to the preparation of final documents, including documents evidencing the parties agreement to shorten the maturity of the PIDA Note to five years ending December 2010; but, during October 2006, RDC notified PIDA that it was withdrawing its application to PIDA and that it was no longer willing to assume the lease.   Contemporaneously with its notice to PIDA, RDC notified the Company that it refused to pay the $0.3 million holdback to Valley because of the delays in obtaining the PIDA consent.  RDC has signed a sublease for the property and remains legally responsible for the lease payments.  In October 2006, the Company filed a demand for arbitration claiming RDC has acted in bad faith and demanding $0.3 million. Becan and its principals, including Mr. Taneja, indemnified Valley North and the Company against any claims or demands PIDA may bring against Valley or the Company in connection with the PIDA Note and will use their best efforts to have Valley released from all obligations under the PIDA Note.

Further, as part of the discontinuance of substantially all of the drug distribution business, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $19.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2005. The Company also recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $31.0 million during the year ended January 1, 2005. The Company has estimated that any proceeds which may be realized from sale of this business in connection with the liquidation of the Company will not be sufficient to recover the remaining goodwill as of December 30, 2006. Accordingly, we have recorded an impairment charge of approximately $1.4 million in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 30, 2006.

Net revenues related to the discontinued operations were $0.0 million, $103.6 million and $15.3 million for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and for the period November 12, 2004 (the Merger date) to January 1, 2005, respectively.  The loss from discontinued operations was $1.3 million, $33.0 million and $31.3 million the fiscal years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and for the period November 12, 2004 (the Merger date) to January 1, 2005, respectively. During the third quarter 2006, the Company received notification of a tax assessment from a state tax authority relating to the Company’s discontinued operations.  The Company has accrued $0.2 million of estimated income taxes relating to this matter which is reflected as a component of discontinued operations.
 
Going Concern— The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 30, 2006, the Company had a net shareholders' deficit of $14.3 million, has incurred net losses of $7.2 million, $54.9 million and $39.8 million for the years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005 and in March 2007 the Company’s shareholders approved a plan of liquidation and dissolution of the Company. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
 
2.
BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Business— As of December 30, 2006, the Company operated 74 pharmacies, including one home health center and one non-pharmacy mail order center, in 13 states under the Arrow Pharmacy & Nutrition Center, Familymeds Pharmacy, and Worksite PharmacySM brand names.

Fiscal Periods—The Company reports on a 52-53 week fiscal year. Fiscal years 2006 and 2005 include 52 weeks, while fiscal year 2004 includes 53 weeks.

Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management’s estimates relate primarily to assigning values and lives to intangible assets acquired in connection with the Merger, estimating impairments of long-lived assets and estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts and inventory reserves.

Revenue Recognition—Revenues from pharmacy operations are comprised of both pharmacy sales in Company-owned locations and royalty revenues from franchised pharmacies. Revenues from pharmacy sales, net of contractual allowances from third-party payors, are recognized at the time of sale. The Company participates in various third-party provider networks and state Medicaid programs. Under a majority of these networks, revenue is adjudicated at the time of sale. However, for certain third-party providers and state Medicaid programs, revenue is reported at the net realizable amount and adjusted in future periods as final settlements are determined. Revenues from franchised pharmacies are based on a flat fee per location or a percentage of the revenues of the franchised pharmacy and are recognized in the period in which revenues are earned. The Company recognizes revenues from the mail order and e-commerce operations when products are shipped to customers, net of discounts. Revenues for the drug distribution operations are recognized when goods are shipped and title or risk of loss resides with unaffiliated customers or when services are provided. The Company has no sales incentive or rebate programs with its customers. Revenue is recorded net of sales returns and allowances.

Vendor Rebates, Allowances and Chargebacks- Rebates and allowances are recorded as a component of cost of goods sold in the period they are received from the vendor or manufacturer unless such rebates and allowances are reasonably estimable at the end of a reporting period. The Company records chargeback credits due from its vendors in the period when the sale is made to the customer which is eligible for contract pricing from the manufacturer.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Inventories—Inventories consist of pharmaceuticals and other retail merchandise. 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. Inventories are monitored for out of date or damaged products. Inventories are recorded net of a reserve for obsolescence of approximately $2.6 million and $2.1 million at December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. The drug distribution operations accept return of product from its customers for product which is resaleable, in unopened containers and expires six months or more from the return date.

Property and Equipment—Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets with a mid-month convention being applied to the first year assets are placed into service. Furniture and fixtures, computer equipment and software, excluding website software costs, are depreciated over useful lives of five years. Capitalized website software costs are amortized over three years. Leasehold improvements and equipment purchased under capital leases are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the lease term. When fixed assets are retired or sold, the asset cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated and any resulting gain or loss is included in the consolidated statements of operations.

Leases and Deferred Rent Payable-The Company leases pharmacy, distribution, administrative, marketing and customer service facilities. Leases are accounted for under the provisions of SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, as amended, which requires that leases be evaluated and classified as operating or capital leases for financial reporting purposes. The lease term used for lease evaluation includes option periods only in instances in which the exercise of the option period can be reasonably assured and failure to exercise such options would result in an economic penalty.
 
F-12

 
For leases that contain rent escalations, the Company records the total rent payable during the lease term, as determined above, on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and records the difference between the rents paid and the straight-line rent as a deferred rent payable. As of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, a liability of approximately $0.1 million, was recorded related to deferred rent payable.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets—The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property plant and equipment and 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 related intangible assets, exceeds the future cash flows for the assets. For purposes of recognizing and measuring impairment of long-lived assets, the Company evaluates assets at the store level for pharmacy operations. For purposes of measuring goodwill impairment, the drug distribution operations and pharmacy operations are considered separate reporting units.

Goodwill—Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired as a result of the Merger. Goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to impairment testing annually, or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate there may be impairment.

Other Intangible Assets—Prescription file intangible assets were recorded at fair value in connection with store acquisitions. The Company amortizes prescription files on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of seven years. Authorized distributor licenses, trademarks and patents and a customer list were recorded in connection with the Merger. Authorized distributor licenses relate to contractual and non-contractual relationships with pharmaceutical manufacturers allowing direct access to purchase their products. These contracts are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated life of 15 years. Trademarks and patents are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated life of 15 years. The customer list was amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated life of five years. Noncompete agreements relate to agreements with former storeowners who sold their pharmacies to the Company. These agreements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the agreements, generally two to five years. Royalty rights relate to the purchase of certain franchise license agreements and are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated life of 20 years

Deferred financing costs are amortized as interest expense on an effective yield basis over the terms of the related debt. Amortization of approximately $0.3 million, $0.3 million and $0.3 million, for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively, was recorded as interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Store Opening and Closing Costs—Store opening costs are charged directly to expense when incurred, including rent expense during construction periods. When the Company makes a decision to close a store, the unrecoverable costs, including remaining lease obligations (net of estimated sublease rental income commencing in fiscal 2003 upon adoption of SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities), are charged to expense. SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, was adopted by the Company in fiscal 2003. SFAS No. 144 requires the results of operations of a component entity that is classified as held for sale or that has been disposed of to be reported as discontinued operations in the statement of operations if certain conditions are met. These conditions include commitment to a plan of disposal after the effective date of this statement, elimination of the operations and cash flows of the component entity from the ongoing operations of the company and no significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component entity after the disposal transaction.

Concentration of Credit Risk—The Company’s receivables for the pharmacy operations are principally from third-party insurance plans and state Medicaid programs (collectively, “Third-Party Customers”). The largest individual Third-Party Customer accounted for approximately 11%, 13% and 12% of the Company’s net revenues for the years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively. There is no other customer that represents over 10% of the Company’s net revenues for these periods. Total gross trade receivables for this customer were $1.3 million, $1.8 million and $0.7 million, as of December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively.
 
F-13

 
Advertising—Advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred and were approximately $0.9 million, $1.2 million and $1.3 million for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively.

Shipping and Handling Costs—Outbound shipping and handling costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Shipping and handling costs were approximately $1.3 million, $1.6 million and $1.3 million for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively.

Income Taxes—The Company accounts for income taxes according to the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax effects attributable to operating loss carryforwards and to differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be reversed. Valuation allowances are established for deferred tax assets when realization is not likely.

Per Share Information—The computations of basic and diluted loss per common share are based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities include in-the-money stock options and in-the-money warrants of restricted stock. All options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock were not included in any computations of diluted net loss per common share, because inclusion of such shares would have been anti-dilutive.
 
Segment—The Company operated as one business segment for all periods presented.

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, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using a modified prospective method resulting in the recognition of share-based compensation expense of $0.6 million. Prior period amounts have not been restated. Under this application, the Company is 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 January 1, 2006, and the adoption of FAS123(R), the Company applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“Opinion 25”), and its related interpretations in accounting for employee stock compensation and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, to account for options issued to nonemployees. Forfeitures are accounted for in the period the options are actually forfeited. Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company’s net loss would have changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

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 for the week 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.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS 

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 the adoption of FIN 48 will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations as a full valuation allowance has been established.
 
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin, or SAB, No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. SAB No. 108 provides guidance on how prior year misstatements should be taken into consideration when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements for purposes of determining whether the current year’s financial statements are materially misstated. SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ending on or after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB No. 108 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

IMPAIRMENTS OF GOODWILL AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS 

During the fiscal years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of $1.4 million, $19.4 and $31.0 million, respectively relating to Familymeds Medical Supply business and discontinued operations. During the fiscal year ended December 30, 2006, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.7 million related to trademarks for $0.2 million and related to the wholesale distributor contracts for $1.5 million associated with the Familymeds Medical Supply business. The 2006 charges are included in continuing operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. In addition, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $3.2 million related to trademarks for $2.7 million and the customer list for $0.5 million associated with the discontinued business. The 2005 charges are included in discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

During the fiscal years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, the Company approved the closure of four, one and seven underperforming stores, respectively, and as a result, no impairments of long-lived assets were recorded in connection with the disposal of the related prescription file intangible assets and equipment for these locations as they were fully amortized at the time of disposal. Additionally, net lease obligations related to these stores of approximately $0.0 million, $0.0 million and $0.2 million were accrued, respectively and are included in write-downs of long-lived assets. During the fiscal years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, the Company had favorable settlements on lease obligations of approximately $0.0 million, $0.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Revenues for stores closed were $6.3 million, $0.8 million, and $1.7 million for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively. The operating income (loss) for the stores closed was $0.1 million, ($0.2) million and ($0.4) million for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively. The Company also recorded impairment charges for prescription file intangible assets and property and equipment of approximately $0.0 million, $0.0 million and $0.3 million relating to underperforming and relocated stores during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005, January 1, 2005, and December 27, 2003.

The Merger required the Company to enter into an agreement with a former officer and director which requires payments in excess of market value over a three year period. The incremental costs of approximately $1.0 million over the term of the agreement were recorded as goodwill.  As of December 30, 2006, the remaining goodwill of $1.4 million relating to the Familymeds Medical Supply business (the ongoing business of direct distribution of pharmaceuticals to physicians, medical clinics and other healthcare providers) was written off in connection with the required annual impairment tests. The Company has estimated that any proceeds which may be realized from sale of this business in connection with the liquidation of the Company will not be sufficient to recover this amount.

During fiscal year ended December 30, 2006, the Company recorded $1.7 million of impairment charges for trademarks of $0.2 million and the wholesale distributor contracts of $1.5 million related to Familymeds Medical Supply, respectively. The Company has estimated that any proceeds which may be realized from sale of this business in connection with the liquidation of the Company will not be sufficient to recover this amount. These charges have been recorded as impairments of goodwill and long-lived assets in the loss from continuing operations within the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The weighted average amortization period for intangible assets is approximately 4.0 years as of December 30, 2006. Included in the loss from continuing operations is amortization expense related to other intangible assets of approximately $1.6 million, $2.6 million and $2.6 million for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively.

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 $65.0 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. 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 December 30, 2006 was 8.25%. As of December 30, 2006, the interest rate, including applicable margin, used to calculate accrued interest was 8.5%. Interest is payable monthly.

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 does not include any financial covenants.

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 December 30, 2006, $37.5 million was outstanding on the revolving line of credit and $1.0 million was available for additional borrowings, based on eligible receivables, inventory and prescription files.

In connection with the Walgreens’ Asset Sale, Wells Fargo Retail Finance, LLC, as agent for the revolving credit lenders pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement dated as of October 12, 2005 (as amended, modified, supplemented or restated and in effect from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) among (i) Familymeds Group, Inc. (f/k/a Drugmax, Inc.), as Lead Borrower, (ii) the other Borrowers party thereto from time to time, (iii) the Revolving Credit Lenders party thereto from time to time, (iv) and Wells Fargo, has consented to the Asset Sale and the consummation of the sale, subject to various terms and conditions. Among those conditions, we agreed that all proceeds received by us from the sale shall be paid to Wells Fargo for application to the credit facility until all amounts due under the facility are paid in full and the Loan Agreement is terminated. Each such payment of proceeds applied to the credit facility shall permanently reduce the commitments in the amount of such payment.

Retired Subordinated Note and Convertible Debenture

On March 22, 2005, the Company 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 $10.0 million.
 
Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement

On June 29, 2006, the Company 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 $10.0 million (one note in the principal amount of $3.3 million and the second note in the amount of $6.7 million collectively the “Notes”) and eight warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1.65 million shares of Familymeds Group, Inc. common stock (the “Warrants”), for an aggregate purchase price of $10.0 million.

The $10.0 million purchase price for the Notes and Warrants was used entirely for an early repayment, settlement and termination of approximately $23.0 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 $10.0 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. . The Company extinguished the ABDC Notes on June 29, 2006 which resulted in a gain on the extinguishment of $13.1 million.

Principal on each of the Notes is due and payable in successive quarterly installments each in the amount of $0.17 million and $0.33 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 records the average quarterly interest expense and record a corresponding asset or liability for the difference not currently payable each quarter. As of December 30, 2006, the Company has classified this liability as current as it expects to retire this obligation within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
 
F-20


In lieu of making any interest payments in cash during the first and second year of the Notes, the Company may issue and deliver to Deerfield shares of Company common stock.  Pursuant to an amendment in October 2006, such shares shall be issued annually and Deerfield shall not be able to transfer or sell such shares until such time as the quarterly interest payment represented by those shares shall become due.  During the fourth quarter of 2006, 58,878 shares of common stock were issued to Deerfield representing the first year’s interest of approximately $0.2 million.

On December 15, 2006, the Company and Deerfield agreed pursuant to an amendment to the Notes and an investor rights agreement, that in lieu of making the December 1, 2006 principal payment in cash, the Company shall issue and deliver to Deerfield a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Borrower equal to 269,059.

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.
 
The Notes are secured by subordinated security interests in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, Familymeds, Inc. 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, Inc. 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, 1.65 million of stock warrants were issued as follows: warrants for 0.30 million common shares were issued at an exercise price of $6.10 per share; warrants for 0.55 million common shares were issued at an exercise price of $7.50 per share; warrants for 0.55 million common shares were issued at an exercise price of $7.80 per share; and warrants for 0.25 million common shares were issued at an exercise price of $9.20 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.

On June 29, 2006, 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.

CAPITAL STOCK 

Common Stock—The number of authorized shares of common stock was increased from 24 million to 45 million shares on November 12, 2004. In connection with the Merger, the shareholders of FMG (along with certain FMG warrant holders and note holders) received an aggregate of 1,047,806 shares of Familymeds common stock. On September 7, 2005, shareholders of the Company approved an amendment to increase the Company’s authorized shares of common stock from 45 million to 100 million. Then, on September 27, 2005, the Company’s authorized shares of common stock increased from 100 million to 200 million. Authorized common stock consists of 200 million shares of common stock, $.001 par value as of December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
 
F-21


On August 27, 2003, the Company adopted the Drugmax, Inc. 2003 Restricted Stock Plan (“the Restricted Stock Plan”). Prior to the Merger, the Company had not issued any restricted shares under the Restricted Stock Plan. On November, 12, 2004, the number of shares authorized under the Restricted Stock Plan was increased from 150,000 shares to 350,000 shares. In connection with the Merger, the Company issued an aggregate of 65,605 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock to certain employees and directors of FMG. The restricted stock was scheduled to vest on March 25, 2005 or upon such time as a registration statement is declared effective. On March 23, 2005, certain of the restricted stock agreements were amended to change the vesting to June 15, 2005 or upon such time as a registration statement is declared effective by the SEC. The compensation charge recorded during the years ended December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005 relating to the restricted stock was $2.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, which was based on the vesting provisions of the original restricted stock agreements.

During fiscal years ended December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company issued 33,436 and 51,605 shares of restricted stock to directors and employees, respectively. The shares issued to directors vested one-third upon the date of grant and one-third on each anniversary thereof. The employee shares vest two-thirds upon the first anniversary of the grant and one-third upon the second anniversary of the grant. Compensation expense related to these shares of $0.4 million and $0.3 million was recorded during the fiscal years ended December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

Preferred Stock— The number of authorized shares was increased from two million to five million preferred shares at the annual meeting on November 12, 2004, of which 17,000 shares have been designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. On December 2, 2004, for an aggregate purchase price of $17 million, the Company sold to certain qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors an aggregate of 17,000 shares of Series A convertible redeemable preferred stock (the “Series A”). These shares were convertible into an aggregate of 459,459 shares of the Company’s common stock, based upon an initial conversion price of $37.00 per share. However, in an amendment to the certificate of designation, on July 7, 2005, the conversion price was reduced from $37.00 per share to $28.00 per share and the Series A stock became convertible into an aggregate of 607,143 shares of Familymeds common stock. In addition, the investors received warrants to purchase an aggregate of 137,837 shares of Familymeds common stock. The exercise price of the warrants was $42.50 per share upon issuance. The exercise price was reduced to $10.90 upon the redemption of the Series A. The warrants are exercisable into common stock and expire on the fifth anniversary of the closing. The fair value of the warrants was originally estimated at $1.9 million based on Black Scholes valuation. The modification of the warrant exercise price resulted in an increase in the fair value of the warrants of $0.7 million to $2.5 million which is being recorded as additional preferred stock dividends over the ten-year estimated life of the Familymeds Series A convertible redeemable preferred stock. In connection with the redemption of the Series A convertible preferred stock, on October 3, 2005, the unamortized discount was fully amortized and recorded as an increase to the accumulated deficit in the consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ (deficit) equity.

The Company filed a registration on Form S-3 to register the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A stock and the exercise of the warrants. The Company was required to maintain the registration effective until all of such shares have been sold or may be sold without volume restrictions pursuant to rule 144. The Form S-3 was declared effective by the SEC on January 19, 2005. The Company’s agreement with the preferred shareholders contained a provision to the effect that if the registration statement ceased for any reason to remain continuously effective or the holders were not permitted to utilize the prospectus therein to resell such registrable securities for 10 consecutive calendar days but no more than an aggregate of 15 calendar days during any 12-month period (the “Event Date”), then in addition to any other rights the holders may have, the Company shall pay to each holder an amount in cash equal to 2% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such holder as partial liquidated damages. Such amounts were to be payable on the Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of the Event Date until such time as the registration statement became effective or until the holders are permitted to utilize the prospectus to resell securities.
 
F-22


Effective April 20, 2005, the Company suspended sales under the previously filed registration statement to resell such securities. Under the terms of the Series A, the investors were entitled to liquidated damages until such time as the registration statement became effective. On July 7, 2005, the Company amended the certificate of designation to reduce the conversion price of the Series A from $37.00 to $28.00 per share. In exchange, investors representing 95% of the Series A shareholders agreed to waive liquidated damages under the registration rights agreement through the date of the amendment and to amend the registration rights agreement to require the filing of a registration statement covering the registrable securities by July 8, 2005 and to require the effectiveness of such registration statement to be no later than October 1, 2005. On July 7, 2005, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1. The SEC declared the Form S-1 effective on August 10, 2005. The amount of the liquidated damages owed as of July 2, 2005, $1.0 million, substantially all of which was waived by the shareholders, was recorded as additional Familymeds preferred stock dividends for the three months ended July 2, 2005. A total of $1.1 million was accrued through July 7, 2005 related to liquidated damages and reversed during the three months ended October 1, 2005. The revised conversion price does not represent a beneficial conversion feature.

The Series A contained an increasing-rate dividend as follows: 7% per annum until the fourth anniversary; 9% per annum from the fourth until the fifth anniversary; 11% per annum from the fifth until the sixth anniversary and 14% per annum thereafter. In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5, Miscellaneous Accounting, Section Q, the Company has recorded dividends in amounts equal to a consistent effective rate over the life of the preferred stock.

On October 3, 2005, the Company redeemed the Series A convertible redeemable preferred stock for cash of $17.0 million and 48,807 shares of common stock valued at $0.8 million. The common stock issued is reflected as an additional dividend on the Series A convertible redeemable preferred stock.

FMG Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock— Prior to the Merger, FMG had outstanding Series A, B, C, D and E Preferred Stock. In connection with the Merger, the Company issued 836,353 shares of its common stock to certain FMG preferred shareholders which were allocated to FMG’s preferred shareholders based on liquidation preferences. Based on the ten-day-weighted stock price of $37.969 as of November 12, 2004, the FMG Series E shareholders received Company common stock equal to their full liquidation preference, the FMG Series C preferred shareholders and FMG Series D preferred shareholders received Familymeds stock equal to approximately 7% of their liquidation preferences and the FMG Series A preferred shareholders, FMG Series B preferred shareholders and FMG common shareholders received no consideration for their shares.

The Company also issued warrants to purchase 350,009 shares of the Company’s common stock at $26.10 per share to the former FMG shareholders and note holders. The warrants were allocated among the FMG shareholders, note holders in the same manner as the Familymeds common stock and warrants to purchase 195,069 shares were allocated to former FMG preferred shareholders. The fair value of the warrants issued to the former FMG preferred shareholders of $5.5 million based on a Black Scholes valuation was recorded as a preferred stock dividend prior to the Merger.

Dividends on FMG preferred stock were accrued through the Merger date. Following is a summary of the terms and conditions of the FMG preferred stock prior to the Merger:

FMG Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock—On June 22, 2001, FMG issued to existing investors 988,441 shares of Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (“FMG Series E Preferred Stock”) at a purchase price of $9.87 per share for aggregate proceeds of $9.8 million. In connection with this transaction, FMG incurred $0.2 million of professional fees and closing costs, which were offset against the proceeds. The carrying amount of the FMG Series E Preferred Stock was increased by periodic accretion, using the effective interest method, with charges to accumulated deficit. For the fiscal year ended January 1, 2005, $0.04 million, of expenses were accreted. The Series E Preferred Stock accrued dividends at 8% per annum, was senior to all other classes of stock, had certain special voting rights and had an initial liquidation value of $9.87 per share. In exchange for the commitment and funding of the Notes, FMG issued certain note holders warrants to purchase 438,249 shares of FMG Series E Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $9.87 per share. The fair value of the warrants as of the date of issuance was $0.05 million using the Black-Scholes model. These warrants were exercised into 438,249 shares of FMG Series E Preferred Stock on a cashless basis prior to the Merger.

FMG Series E Preferred Stock was senior to all other Series of preferred stock and had to have 100% of their liquidation preference satisfied prior to distribution to the other Series of preferred stock. As of the Merger, November 12, 2004, Series E was convertible into common stock at $148.10 per share. The Series E Preferred Stock accrued dividends at 8% per annum, and had certain special voting rights. Upon a liquidation event, Series E preferred shareholders were entitled to receive the greater of the value of two times the liquidated value plus accrued dividends or the amount received on an “as converted” basis. The holders had the right to require the Company to redeem the Series E Preferred Stock in August 2005.
 
FMG Series D Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock—In July 2000, FMG issued to an investor group 1,542,188 shares of Series D Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (“FMG Series D Preferred Stock”), with a par value of $0.01 at a purchase price of $18.37 per share for gross proceeds of $28.3 million. In connection with this transaction, FMG incurred approximately $1.8 million of professional fees and closing costs, which were offset against the proceeds. The carrying amount of the FMG Series D Preferred Stock was increased by periodic accretion, using the effective interest method, with charges to accumulated deficit. For the fiscal years ended January 1, 2005, $0.3 million, of expenses were accreted, respectively.

In connection with the FMG Series D Preferred Stock issuance, $10.0 million of convertible promissory notes issued in March 2000 were converted into FMG Series D Preferred Stock in fiscal 2000 at $17.45 per share. Upon conversion, the note holders received 573,017 shares of FMG Series D Preferred Stock and exercised the nondetachable warrants for an additional 102,564 shares of FMG Series D Preferred Stock at a price of $9.75 per share for $1.0 million.

 The Series D Preferred Stock was convertible into common stock at any time and would automatically convert into common stock upon the closing of an initial public offering with gross proceeds of at least $30.0 million. The FMG Series D Preferred Stock accrued dividends at 8% per annum, had certain special voting rights and had an initial liquidation value of $18.37 per share. Due to the absence of certain events, including an underwritten public offering of FMG’s stock, not occurring within 18 months, the FMG Series D Preferred Stock shareholders’ conversion price was adjusted. The adjusted conversion price entitled such shareholder to the number of common shares issuable upon conversion of the Series D. The change in the conversion ratio had no accounting implications since the conversion terms did not represent a beneficial conversion feature. Additionally, in the event of an underwritten public offering, dividends would become payable in cash. Upon liquidation or redemption, the Series D Preferred Stock shareholders were entitled to the liquidation value, including any unpaid dividends. The holders of FMG Series D Preferred Stock had the right to require the Company to redeem the stock in August 2005. FMG Series D and C Preferred Stock were senior to FMG Series B and A Preferred Stock, but were subordinate to FMG Series E Preferred Stock. Series D and C shared pari passu after satisfaction of the Series E in connection with the Merger.

FMG Series C Convertible Preferred Stock—On May 14, 1999, FMG issued to an investor group 2,564,102 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“FMG Series C Preferred Stock”), with a par value of $0.01 at a purchase price of $9.75 per share for aggregate proceeds of $25.0 million. In connection with this transaction FMG incurred $0.3 million of professional fees and closing costs, which were offset against the proceeds. The FMG Series C Preferred Stock shareholders were entitled to convert each share of FMG Series C Preferred Stock into that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing the initial conversion price of $14.63 by the conversion price in effect at the time of conversion. The conversion rate was subject to adjustment for the effects of dilution. The FMG Series C Preferred Stock shareholders were entitled to certain special voting rights, preferential liquidation rights (initial liquidation value of $9.75 per share) and anti-dilutive provisions. Dividends did not accrue on the Series C Preferred Stock.

FMG Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock—On June 8, 1998, FMG issued to an investor group 2,042,105 shares of Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (“FMG Series B Preferred Stock”), with a par value of $0.01 at a purchase price of $4.75 per share for aggregate proceeds of $9.7 million. In connection with this transaction, FMG incurred approximately $0.2 million of professional fees and closing costs, which were offset against the proceeds. The carrying amount of the FMG Series B Preferred Stock was increased by periodic accretion, using the effective interest method, with charges to accumulated deficit. For the fiscal year ended January 1, 2005 $0.03 million of expenses were accreted. The FMG Series B Preferred Stock accrued dividends at an annual rate of 8% of liquidation value, as defined, with an initial liquidation value of $4.75 per share. Concurrent with the FMG Series C Convertible Preferred Stock issuance, the conversion price of the FMG Series B Preferred Stock was adjusted to $7.83 per share and the existing 2,042,105 FMG Series B Preferred Stock shares were exchanged for 1,858,239 shares of FMG Series B Preferred Stock with a liquidation value of $5.22 per share, plus unpaid dividends.

The FMG Series B Preferred Stock shareholders were entitled to convert each share of FMG Series B Preferred Stock into that number of fully-paid and non-assessable shares of common stock determined by dividing the initial conversion price of $7.83 by the conversion price in effect at the time of conversion. The conversion rate was subject to adjustment for the effects of dilution. Additionally, the Company had the option to convert each share of Series B Preferred Stock into common stock upon the occurrence of an initial public offering with aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of at least $15.0 million and at a price per share of at least three times the then conversion price. Upon such conversion, all accrued dividends will be canceled. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock, subject to the consent of both the Series C and Series D Preferred Stock shareholders, also have the right to require the Company to redeem 25% of the Series B Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the fifth anniversary of the Series B Preferred Stock issuance and on the sixth, seventh and eighth anniversaries. The Series B Preferred Stock shareholders were entitled to certain special voting rights, registration rights and anti-dilutive provisions.

FMG Series B and A were subordinate to all other Series of FMG preferred stock. If a liquidation amount remained after all other FMG preferred shareholders were 100% satisfied, Series B and A would have shared pari passu up to the amount of their respective liquidation preferences.

FMG Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock—On December 18, 1996, FMG issued to an investor group 900,000 shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (“FMG Series A Preferred Stock”) with a par value of $0.01 at a purchase price of $5.55 per share for aggregate proceeds of approximately $5.0 million. In connection with this transaction, FMG incurred approximately $0.2 million of professional fees and closing costs, which were offset against the proceeds. The carrying amount of the FMG Series A Preferred Stock was increased by periodic accretion, using the effective interest method, with charges to accumulated deficit. Conversion and dividend features are calculated for FMG Series A Preferred Stock in the same manner as the FMG Series B Preferred Stock with the exception of the following:

 
·
FMG Series A Preferred Stock initial conversion price was $8.33 per share; and
 
F-25

 
 
·
FMG Series A Preferred Stock liquidation value was adjusted from $5.55 per share to $5.69 per share in conjunction with the FMG Series B Preferred Stock issuance.

To redeem a FMG Series A Preferred Stock shareholder in 1998, the Company purchased 468,406 shares of FMG Series A Preferred Stock for $1,749,337. Voting rights, redemption rights, registration rights and anti-dilutive provisions were identical to Series B Preferred Stock shares.

FMG Common Stock -Immediately prior to the Merger there were 248,565 voting and non-voting common shares of FMG issued and outstanding.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS 

The Company has three 401(k) defined contribution plans that cover eligible full-time employees that existed prior to the Merger for Familymeds employees. During fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004, Familymeds, Inc. contributed 50% of an employee’s pre-tax contribution up to a maximum of 4% of an employee’s eligible compensation to the Familymeds Plan. During the fiscal years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, the Company contributed approximately $0.2 million, $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, to the Familymeds Plan.

Company contributions to the primary Familymeds 401(k) Plans are discretionary. The Company made no contributions to the Familymeds 401(k) Plan for the period subsequent to the Merger.

11.
INCOME TAXES 

The Company incurred net operating losses for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005. Accordingly, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to uncertainty of realization.

At December 30, 2006, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL’s”) for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $149 million and $90 million, respectively, that are available, other than as described below, to offset future taxable income and expire from 2016 through 2026. As a result of changes in the Company’s ownership, usage of the Company’s NOL’s is limited. As of December 30, 2006, approximately $142 million of the federal NOL carryforward is subject to a usage limitation of approximately $2.2 million per year. The amount of NOL’s that may not be available for usage prior to expiration due to NOL usage limitations is approximately $96 million.

STOCK OPTIONS 

As of January 1, 1998, FMG adopted its 1998 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan. The plan was amended July 1, 1999, and the FMG’s 1999 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (“the FMG 1999 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan”) was adopted. The majority of options issued under the FMG 1999 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan vested evenly over a three-year period and expired after five years. On April 25, 2000, FMG adopted its 2000 Stock Option Plan (“the FMG 2000 Plan”). Options were granted under the FMG 2000 Plan to employees, directors or consultants. Immediately prior to the Merger, FMG vested all outstanding stock options that had not terminated by their own terms prior to the Merger and issued one share of FMG non-voting common stock for each such outstanding FMG option on a one-for-one basis resulting in the issuance of 52,465 common shares. A compensation charge of $0.8 million was recorded during the fiscal year ended January 1, 2005 related to the exchange which represented to estimated fair value of the shares issued. Accordingly, at the time of the Merger, no options to purchase FMG common stock remained outstanding.

On August 13, 1999, the Company adopted its 1999 Incentive and Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan (the “DrugMax 1999 Plan”). On June 5, 2002, the first amendment to the DrugMax 1999 Plan was adopted. In connection with the Merger, on November 12, 2004, the number of shares authorized under the DrugMax 1999 Plan was increased from 200,000 to 600,000 shares. Prior to the Merger, options were granted under the DrugMax 1999 Plan to employees and directors of FMG. As a result of the Merger on November 12, 2004, all of such options immediately vested.

In connection with the Merger, the Company issued options to purchase 157,284 shares of the Company’s common stock at $5.70 per share to certain employees and directors of FMG that remained employees and directors of the Company after the Merger. The options vested immediately and became exercisable on January 4, 2006. A compensation charge was recorded over the period the options become exercisable. Accordingly, $0.0 million, $4.2 million and $0.5 million of stock compensation expense was recorded during the years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively, related to the options issued in connection with the Merger that had exercise prices less than their fair value.

During fiscal years ended December 30 2006 and December 31, 2005, 75,125 and 161,358 stock options were granted to directors and employees of the Company, respectively. The majority of these grants vest evenly over three years.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS 

The Arrow Employee Benefit Trust (the “Trust”) was created to purchase group medical insurance for FMG, franchisees and certain affiliates. Use of the Trust was terminated effective May 17, 2004.
 
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 leased this premises from Becan Development LLC (“Becan”), a company owned by a current director of the Company (Jugal Taneja) and certain former directors, officers and employees of the Company.

The original lease (dated December 30, 2003) (the “Original Lease”) provided for a term of 15 years, expiring December 30, 2018, and monthly lease payments of $0.017 million.  When the Original Lease was executed, Becan and Valley North entered into a Consent, Subordination and Assumption Agreement (the “Guarantee”) with the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority (“PIDA”) and Regional Industrial Development Corporation of Southwest Pennsylvania (“RIDC”) dated December 30, 2003, pursuant to which, among other things, Becan and Valley Drug Company (Valley North”), jointly and severally, assumed all obligations of RIDC to make payments and discharge all obligations expenses, costs and liabilities of RIDC in connection with the PIDA note (the “PIDA Note”).  The PIDA Note is also secured by the Original Lease and the property.
 
F-30

 
In connection with the previously disclosed December 2005 sale of the business operated out of the Pennsylvania facility to Rochester Drug Cooperative (“RDC”) (the “RDC Sale”), Becan and Valley North agreed to shorten the lease to five years ending, December 2010, and to sublease the premises to RDC. It was the intent of the parties at that time to assign the lease to RDC upon the consent to such assignment by PIDA.  RDC held back $0.3 million of the purchase price related to the RDC Sale pending receipt of PIDA’s consent. Recently, PIDA agreed to consent to the assignment of the lease to RDC subject to the preparation of final documents, including documents evidencing the parties agreement to shorten the maturity of the PIDA Note to five years ending December 2010; but, during October 2006, RDC notified PIDA that it was withdrawing its application to PIDA and that it was no longer willing to assume the lease.   Contemporaneously with its notice to PIDA, RDC notified the Company that it refused to pay the $0.3 million holdback to Valley because of the delays in obtaining the PIDA consent.  RDC has signed a sublease for the property and remains legally responsible for the lease payments.  In October 2006, the Company filed a demand for arbitration claiming RDC has acted in bad faith and demanding $0.3 million. Becan and its principals, including Mr. Taneja, indemnified Valley North and the Company against any claims or demands PIDA may bring against Valley or the Company in connection with the PIDA Note and will use their best efforts to have Valley released from all obligations under the PIDA Note. 

In January 2004, prior to the Merger, the Company executed a second commercial lease agreement (the “Second Lease”) with an entity controlled by certain directors and officers of the Company at the time, including Mr. Jugal K. Taneja, a current director. The Second Lease is for an initial period of fifteen years with a base monthly lease payment of $0.017 million. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the Company recorded rent expense of $0.2 million related to the Second Lease. This lease was terminated in accordance with the terms therein on October 18, 2006.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES 

Operating Leases—The Company leases its headquarter office space under an operating lease expiring in 2007 with a renewal option through 2012. The Company also leases space for its pharmacies, distribution centers, vehicles, furniture and fixtures and office equipment under various operating leases. Certain leases include renewal options. Rent expense on these operating leases was approximately $3.1 million, $3.5 million and $3.4 million for the fiscal years ended December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and January 1, 2005, respectively.

Minimum lease payments under these leases are as follows, excluding renewal options (amounts in thousands):

Legal Matters- On November 12, 2003, Phil & Kathy’s, Inc. d/b/a Alliance Distributors (“Alliance”) served a complaint against the Company seeking to recover the non-payment of open invoices approximating $2.0 million based upon an alleged breach of contract for the sale of pharmaceuticals. On December 18, 2003, the Company filed an answer and counterclaim. The counterclaim seeks to recover lost profits and other damages relating to the sale of twenty allegedly counterfeit bottles of Lipitor by Alliance to the Company, which the Company later sold to QK Healthcare, Inc. (“QK”). Alleging that the Lipitor was counterfeit, QK later sued the Company for breach of contract, violations of the implied warranty of merchantability and fraud. Accordingly, the Company’s subsidiary, Valley, also filed a separate action against Alliance for breach of an indemnification agreement related to the sale of the twenty bottles of Lipitor that precipitated a lawsuit against Valley by QK in New York. At March 31, 2005, the amount that the Company recorded as a trade payable balance due Alliance on the above was approximately $1.5 million. Under an indemnification agreement with Alliance, pursuant to which Alliance is required to indemnify the Company for all losses, expenses and damages sustained by the Company as a result of product sold to the Company by Alliance, and the Company’s right to offset its losses, expenses and damages against any amounts due to Alliance, the Company reduced the payable to Alliance by the cost of the faulty Lipitor sold to the Company by Alliance plus the settlement and litigation expenses incurred by the Company directly as a result of the Lipitor, or an aggregate of $0.5 million. The Company has recorded the foregoing trade payable of $1.5 million as of December 30, 2006 and believes this estimate is reasonable based on the information it has at this time; however, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the total future possible loss that it will sustain as a result of the Alliance complaint or the possible recovery through its counterclaim or Valley’s consolidated action. The parties have already exchanged written discovery.  The parties attempted to mediate this matter during the month of January 2006. A motion for Summary Judgment was filed by the plaintiffs and they were granted a partial judgment. The parties are awaiting disposition on the motion for clarification of summary judgment. The court has set no trial date.

From time to time, the Company may become involved in additional litigation arising in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with counsel, the disposition of these matters arising in the normal course of business is not likely to have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Item 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company 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 the Company 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.
