NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Overview

Elite Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company” or “Elite”) was incorporated on October 1, 1997 under the laws of the State of Delaware, and its wholly-owned subsidiary Elite Laboratories, Inc. (“Elite Labs”) was incorporated on August 23, 1990 under the laws of the State of Delaware. On January 5, 2012, Elite Pharmaceuticals was reincorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada. Elite Labs engages primarily in researching, developing, licensing, manufacturing, and sales of generic, oral dose pharmaceuticals. The Company is equipped to manufacture controlled-release products on a contract basis for third parties and itself, if and when the product candidates are approved. These products include drugs that cover therapeutic areas for allergy, bariatric, attention deficit and infection. Research and development activities are performed with an objective of developing product candidates that will secure marketing approvals from the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), and thereafter, commercially exploiting such products.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Elite Labs. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on July 1, 2024. The interim results for the three months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 or for any future periods.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such management estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation included in customer contracts with multiple performance obligations, the period of benefit for deferred commissions, valuation of intangible assets, the useful life of property and equipment and identifiable intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Information

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 280 (“ASC 280”), Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews the financial performance and the results of operations of the segments prepared in accordance with GAAP when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company.

The Company has determined that its reportable segments are products whose marketing approvals were secured via an Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) and products whose marketing approvals were secured via a New Drug Application (“NDA”). ANDA products are referred to as generic pharmaceuticals and NDA products are referred to as branded pharmaceuticals. The Company paused further development of NDAs and has not engaged in business activities. Accordingly, during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company has only engaged in business activities in a single operating segment.

There are currently no intersegment revenues. Asset information by operating segment is not presented below since the chief operating decision maker does not review this information by segment. The reporting segments follow the same accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Please see Note 13 for further details.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenue from manufacturing and licensing fees and direct sales to pharmaceutical distributors for pharmacies and institutions. Manufacturing fees include the development of pain management products, manufacturing of a line of generic pharmaceutical products with approved ANDA, through the manufacture of formulations and the development of new products. Licensing fees include the commercialization of products either by license and the collection of royalties, or the expansion of licensing agreements with other pharmaceutical companies, including co-development projects, joint ventures and other collaborations.

Under ASC 606, Revenue from Contacts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which is expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenues following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. Sales, value add, and other taxes collected on behalf of third parties are excluded from revenue.

Nature of goods and services

The following is a description of the Company’s goods and services from which the Company generates revenue, as well as the nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, and significant payment terms for each, as applicable:

a) Manufacturing Fees

The Company is equipped to manufacture controlled-release products on a contract basis for third parties, if, and when, the products are approved. These products include products using controlled-release drug technology. The Company also develops and markets (either on its own or by license to other companies) generic and proprietary controlled-release pharmaceutical products.

The Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product based on the contractual shipping terms of the contract, at which time the performance obligation is deemed to be completed. The Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the product, is responsible to ensure that the product is produced in accordance with the related supply agreement and bears risk of loss while the inventory is in-transit to the commercial partner. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products to a customer.

b) License Fees

The Company enters into licensing and development agreements, which may include multiple revenue generating activities, including milestones payments, licensing fees, product sales and services. The Company analyzes each element of its licensing and development agreements in accordance with ASC 606 to determine appropriate revenue recognition. The terms of the license agreement may include payment to the Company of licensing fees, non-refundable upfront license fees, milestone payments if specified objectives are achieved, and/or royalties on product sales.

If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised products or services underlying each performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling prices based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.

The Company recognizes revenue from non-refundable upfront payments at a point in time, typically upon fulfilling the delivery of the associated intellectual property to the customer. For those milestone payments which are contingent on the occurrence of particular future events (for example, payments due upon a product receiving FDA approval), the Company determined that these need to be considered for inclusion in the calculation of total consideration from the contract as a component of variable consideration using the most-likely amount method. As such, the Company assesses each milestone to determine the probability and substance behind achieving each milestone. Given the inherent uncertainty of the occurrence of future events, the Company will recognize revenue from the milestone when there is not a high probability of a reversal of revenue, which typically occurs near or upon achievement of the event.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Significant management judgment is required to determine the level of effort required under an arrangement and the period over which the Company expects to complete its performance obligations under the arrangement. If the Company cannot reasonably estimate when its performance obligations either are completed or become inconsequential, then revenue recognition is deferred until the Company can reasonably make such estimates. Revenue is then recognized over the remaining estimated period of performance using the cumulative catch-up method.

When determining the transaction price of a contract, an adjustment is made if payment from a customer occurs either significantly before or significantly after performance, resulting in a significant financing component. Applying the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-32-18, the Company does not assess whether a significant financing component exists if the period between when the Company performs its obligations under the contract and when the customer pays is one year or less. None of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component as of June 30, 2024.

In accordance with ASC 606-10-55-65, royalties are recognized when the subsequent sale of the customer’s products occurs.

c) Sale of product under the Elite label

The Company began direct sales of products under the Company’s own label on April 1, 2023. License agreements will remain in place for select products. With this transition, however, a large portion of the manufacturing and license fees now reported will be replaced with revenues from sales of Elite labeled pharmaceutical products to distributors for pharmacies and institutions.

The Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product based on the contractual shipping terms, at which time the performance obligation is deemed to be completed. The Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to deliver the product and bears risk of loss while the inventory is in-transit to the purchaser. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration earned from the sale of Elite labeled pharmaceutical products are recorded at their net realizable value which consists of gross amounts invoiced reduced by contractual reductions, including, without limitation, chargebacks, discounts and program rebates, as applicable.

The Company provides for chargebacks to wholesalers for sales to various end-customers to include, but not limited to, hospitals, group purchasing organizations, and pharmacies. Chargebacks represent the difference between the price the wholesaler pays and the price that the end-customer pays for a product. The company’s estimate for chargebacks is developed based upon management’s assumption of anticipated product returns, other rebates, as well as historical information.

Disaggregation of revenue

In the following table, revenue is disaggregated by type of revenue generated by the Company. The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time for all performance obligations. During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company had paused further development of NDAs and has not engaged in business activities in that segment. Accordingly, during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company has only engaged in business activities in a single operating segment. The table also includes a reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue with the reportable segments:

SCHEDULE OF DISAGGREGATION OF REVENUE

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023
ANDA:
Manufacturing fees	$	18,443,918	$	7,909,237
Licensing fees		359,145		1,070,839
Total ANDA revenue	$	18,803,063	$	8,980,076

Selected information on reportable segments and reconciliation of operating income by segment to income from operations before income taxes are disclosed within Note 13.

Restricted Cash

As of June 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024, the Company had $438,222 and $432,832, of restricted cash, respectively, related to debt service reserve in regard to the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (“NJEDA”) bonds (see Note 5).

Long-Lived Assets

The Company periodically evaluates the fair value of long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and intangibles, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the respective assets which range from three to forty years. Major repairs or improvements are capitalized. Minor replacements and maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend asset lives are expensed currently.

Upon retirement or other disposition of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized in income.

Intangible Assets

The Company capitalizes certain costs to acquire intangible assets; if such assets are determined to have a finite useful life they are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life. Costs to acquire indefinite lived intangible assets, such as costs related to ANDAs are capitalized accordingly.

The Company tests its intangible assets for impairment at least annually (as of March 31st) and whenever events or circumstances change that indicate impairment may have occurred. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include, among others and without limitation: a significant decline in the Company’s expected future cash flows; a sustained, significant decline in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate of the Company’s segments; unanticipated competition; and slower growth rates.

There were no such impairments recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and three months ended June 30, 2023. The Company notes that none of its patents relate to any of the Company’s revenue producing activities.

On June 17, 2024, the Company and Nostrum Laboratories Inc. (“Nostrum”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Nostrum was obligated to (i) sell to the Company all of its rights in and to the approved abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) for generic Norco® (Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Acetaminophen tablets, USP CII), generic Percocet® (Oxycodone Hydrochloride and Acetaminophen, USP CII), and generic Dolophine® (Methadone Hydrochloride tablets), each a “Product”, and (ii) grant to the Company a royalty-free, non-exclusive perpetual license to use the manufacturing technology, proprietary information, processes, techniques, protocols, methods, know-how, and improvements necessary or used to manufacture each Product in accordance with the applicable ANDA, in exchange for $900,000 in cash (the “Transaction”). The Asset Purchase Agreement includes customary representations and warranties and various customary covenants. The closing of the Transaction occurred on June 21, 2024.

The following table summarizes the Company’s intangible assets as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024:

Patent application costs were incurred in relation to the Company’s abuse deterrent opioid technology. Amortization of the patent costs will begin upon the issuance of marketing authorization by the FDA. Amortization will then be calculated on a straight-line basis through the expiry of the related patent(s).

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Where applicable, the Company records a valuation allowance to reduce any deferred tax assets that it determines will not be realizable in the future.

The Company recognizes the benefit of an uncertain tax position that it has taken or expects to take on income tax returns it files if such tax position is more likely than not to be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. These tax benefits are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.

The Company operates in multiple tax jurisdictions within the United States of America. The Company remains subject to examination in all tax jurisdiction until the applicable statutes of limitation expire. As of June 30, 2024, a summary of the tax years that remain subject to examination in our major tax jurisdictions are: United States – Federal, 2020 and forward, and State, 2019 and forward. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits is to record such interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax positions as of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024.

Earnings Per Share Attributable to Common Shareholders’

The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted net income per share does not include the change in fair value of derivative instruments or the conversion of securities that would have an antidilutive effect.

As the average market price of Common Stock for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 did not exceed the exercise price of the warrants, the potential dilution from the warrants converting into 79,008,661 shares of Common Stock for all periods have been excluded from the number of shares used in calculating diluted net income per share as their inclusion would have been antidilutive.

The following is the computation of earnings per share applicable to common shareholders for the periods indicated:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) provides a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).

The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described as follows:

	●	Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.

	●	Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

	●	Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.

Measured on a Recurring Basis

The following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fell:

			Fair Value Measurement
	Amount at Fair Value		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Balance as of March 31, 2024	$	6,298,008	$	—	$	—	$	6,298,008
Change in fair value of derivative financial instruments - warrants		2,782,913		—		—		2,782,913

Balance as of June 30, 2023	$	711,078	$	—	$	—	$	711,078

See Note 10 for specific inputs used in determining fair value.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. Based upon current borrowing rates with similar maturities the carrying value of long-term debt, and related party loans payable approximates fair value.

Non-Financial Assets that are Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

Non-financial assets such as intangible assets, and property and equipment are measured at fair value only when an impairment loss is recognized. The Company did not record an impairment charge related to these assets in the periods presented.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 (Topic 740), Improvements to income tax disclosures, which enhances the disclosure requirements for the income tax rate reconciliation, domestic and foreign income taxes paid, requiring disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid by jurisdiction, unrecognized tax benefits, and modifies other income tax-related disclosures. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted and should be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

(UNAUDITED)

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segments,” which aims to improve financial reporting by requiring disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. Currently, Topic 280 requires that a public entity disclose certain information about its reportable segments. Topic 280 also requires other specified segment items and amounts to be disclosed under certain circumstances. The amendments in this ASU do not change or remove those disclosure requirements and do not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates those operating segments, or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect that the requirements of ASU 2023 – 07 will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Management has evaluated recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe that any of these pronouncements will have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 5. NJEDA BONDS

During August 2005, the Company refinanced a bond issue occurring in 1999 through the issuance of Series A and B Notes tax-exempt bonds (the “NJEDA Bonds” and/or “Bonds”). During July 2014, the Company retired all outstanding Series B Notes, at par, along with all accrued interest due and owed.

In relation to the Series A Notes, the Company is required to maintain a debt service reserve. The debt service reserve is classified as restricted cash on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The NJEDA Bonds require the Company to make an annual principal payment on September 1st based on the amount specified in the loan documents and semi-annual interest payments on March 1st and September 1st, equal to interest due on the outstanding principal. The annual interest rate on the Series A Note is 6.5%. The NJEDA Bonds are collateralized by a first lien on the Company’s facility and equipment acquired with the proceeds of the original and refinanced bonds.

The following tables summarize the Company’s bonds payable liability:

NOTE 7. RELATED PARTY LOANS

The Company has entered into a collateralized promissory note with individual lenders with rates comparable to the EWB Term Loan but with fewer covenants (the “Hakim Promissory Note”). These covenants include filing timely tax returns and financial statements, and an agreement not to sell, lease, or transfer a substantial portion of the Company’s assets during the term of the Hakim Promissory Note. On June 2, 2023, the Company entered into a Promissory Note with Nasrat Hakim, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors, pursuant to which the Company borrowed funds in the aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000. The Hakim Promissory Note has an interest rate of 9% for the first year and 10% for an optional second year and the proceeds were used for working capital and other business purposes. The original maturity date of the Hakim Promissory Note was June 2, 2024, with an optional second year extension. The second year extension was exercised pursuant to the terms of the Hakim Promissory Note. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, interest expense on the Hakim Promissory Note totaled $67,500, recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in accrued expenses and on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs.

On June 30, 2023, the Company entered into a collateralized promissory note with Davis Caskey (the “Caskey Promissory Note”). The Caskey Promissory Note has a principal balance of $1,000,000 and an interest rate of 9% for the first year and 10% for an optional second year. The Caskey Promissory Note is subject to the same covenants as are contained in the Hakim Promissory Note. The proceeds will be used for working capital and other business purposes. The original maturity date of the Caskey Promissory Note was June 30, 2024, with an optional second year extension. The second year extension was exercised pursuant to the terms of the Caskey Promissory Note. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, interest expense on the Caskey Promissory Note totaled $22,500, recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in accrued expenses and on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs.

NOTE 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Occasionally, the Company may be involved in claims and legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business. The Company records a provision for a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If these estimates and assumptions change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Contingencies are inherently unpredictable, and the assessments of the value can involve a series of complex judgments about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.

On August 17, 2023, Elite filed a paragraph IV certification with its ANDA to generic Oxycontin and after Elite got acceptance of the ANDA by the FDA on September 19, 2023, Elite sent the patentee and NDA holder a Notice Letter as required under the Hatch-Waxman Act. On November 14, 2023, a patent infringement suit was filed in the District Court of New Jersey by Purdue Pharma. Elite obtained agreement with Purdue to stay the litigation for six months. Elite’s launch of a generic Oxycontin will depend on the approval by the FDA and the outcome of various litigations involving Purdue or the expiry of the patents listed on the Orange Book. As of June 30, 2024, the results of such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and are neither probable nor estimable.

Operating Leases

In October 2020, the Company entered into an operating lease for office space in Pompano Beach, Florida (the “Pompano Office Lease”). The Pompano Office Lease is for approximately 1,275 square feet of office space, with the Company taking occupancy on November 1, 2020. The Pompano Office Lease had a term of three years, ending on October 31, 2023. The Pompano Office Lease was extended for one additional year to October 31, 2024.

The Company entered into a lease agreement for a portion of a one-story warehouse, located at 144 Ludlow Avenue, Northvale, New Jersey (the “144 Ludlow Ave. lease”). The lease agreement began on January 22, 2024, and has a term of five years. The 144 Ludlow Ave. lease will expire on December 31, 2028.

The Company assesses whether an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. For arrangements considered leases or that contain a lease that is accounted for separately, the Company determines the classification and initial measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability at the lease commencement date, which is the date that the underlying asset becomes available for use. The Company has elected to account for non-lease components associated with its leases and lease components as a single lease component.

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset, which represents the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and a lease liability, which represents the present value of the Company’s obligation to make payments arising over the lease term. The present value of the lease payments is calculated using either the implicit interest rate in the lease or an incremental borrowing rate.

Finance Leases

In November 2023, the Company entered into a finance lease for equipment (the “Waters Equipment Lease”). The Waters Equipment Lease is related to lab equipment with an acquisition cost of $499,775, with the Company taking ownership of the asset on December 1, 2023. The Waters equipment lease has a term of five years, ending on November 29, 2028. The Company also has the option to purchase the asset at the end of the lease term for the amount of $1, which is probable to be exercised.

In February 2024, the Company entered into a finance lease for warehouse equipment (the “Warehouse Equipment Lease”). The Warehouse Equipment Lease is related to warehouse equipment with an acquisition cost of $37,500, with the Company taking ownership of the asset during February 2024. The Warehouse Equipment Lease has a term of two years, ending in February 2026. The Company also has the option to purchase the asset at the end of the lease term for the amount of $1, which is probable to be exercised.

In February 2024, the Company entered into a finance lease for equipment ( the “February 2024 Equipment Lease”). The February 2024 Equipment Lease is related to manufacturing equipment with an acquisition cost of $455,000, with the Company taking ownership of the asset during February 2024. The February 2024 Equipment Lease has a term of five years, ending in February 2029. The Company will retain ownership of the equipment at lease termination.

In March 2024, the Company entered into three separate finance leases for manufacturing assets (the “March 2024 Equipment Leases”). The March 2024 Equipment Leases are related to manufacturing equipment and vault installed at the Company’s facility located at 144 Ludlow Avenue, Northvale NJ with an aggregate acquisition cost of $1.1 million. Each of the separate leases included in the March 2024 Equipment Leases have a term of five years, ending in March 2029. The Company will retain ownership of all related assets at lease termination.

A lease is classified as a finance lease if any of the following criteria are met: (i) ownership of the underlying asset transfers to the Company by the end of the lease term; (ii) the lease contains an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably expected to exercise; (iii) the lease term is for a major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset; (iv) the present value of the sum of lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the Company equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset; or (v) the underlying asset is of a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term. A lease that does not meet any of the criteria to be classified as a finance lease is classified as an operating lease. As the Company expects to exercise the option to purchase the asset at the end of the lease term, the Waters equipment lease was determined to be a finance lease. The finance lease is included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as Finance lease - right-of-use asset and Lease obligation - finance lease. The finance lease costs are split between Depreciation and amortization expense related to the asset and Interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs on the lease liability, using the effective rate charged by the lessor. The Company has elected to account for lease and non-lease components separately.

Lease assets and liabilities are classified as follows on the condensed consolidated balance sheet:

Lease	Classification	June 30, 2024		March 31, 2024
Assets
Finance	Finance lease – right-of-use asset	$	1,976,049	$	2,079,658

Total lease liabilities		$	3,989,147	$	4,161,857

Rent expense is recorded on the straight-line basis. Rent expense under the Pompano Office Lease was $8,087 and $6,519 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Rent expense under the 144 Ludlow lease was $151,515 and $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Rent expense is recorded in general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 9. PREFERRED STOCK

Series J convertible preferred stock

On April 28, 2017, the Company created the Series J Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series J Preferred”) in conjunction with the Certificate of Designations. A total of 50 shares of Series J Preferred were authorized, zero shares are issued and outstanding, with a stated value of $1,000,000 per share and a par value of $0.01.

NOTE 10. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – WARRANTS

The Company evaluates and accounts for its freestanding instruments in accordance with ASC 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

The Company issued warrants, with a term of ten years, to affiliates in connection with an exchange agreement dated April 28, 2017, as further described in this note below.

The Company has 79,008,661 total warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $0.1521 as of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024.

On April 28, 2017, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with Hakim, the Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, pursuant to which the Company issued to Hakim 24.0344 shares of its Series J Preferred and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 79,008,661 shares of its Common Stock (the “Series J Warrants” and, along with the Series J Preferred issued to Hakim, the “Securities”) in exchange for 158,017,321 shares of Common Stock owned by Hakim. The fair value of the Series J Warrants was determined to be $6,474,674 upon issuance at April 28, 2017.

The Series J Warrants are exercisable for a period of 10 years from the date of issuance, commencing April 28, 2020. The initial exercise price is $0.1521 per share and the Series J Warrants can be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, including a provision within that provides the holder a choice of net cash settlement or settlement in shares upon a cashless exercise. The net cash settlement amount is the cash value obtained by subtracting the then exercise price from the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock (provided such closing price is higher than the exercise price) and multiplying the difference by the number of shares exercised. As this event is at the holder’s option, it is considered outside of the Company’s control. As a result of the net cash settlement at the option of the holder, such warrants are classified as liabilities and measured initially and subsequently at fair value.

(UNAUDITED)

The exercise price is subject to adjustment for any issuances or deemed issuances of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents at an effective price below the then exercise price. The Series J Warrants also provide for other standard adjustments upon the happening of certain customary events.

The fair value of the Series J Warrants was calculated using a Black-Scholes model. The following assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes model to calculate the fair value of the Series J Warrants:

	June 30, 2024			March 31, 2024
Fair value of the Company’s Common Stock	$	0.1990		$	0.1543
Volatility		75.70	%		72.90	%
Initial exercise price	$	0.1521		$	0.1521
Warrant term (in years)		2.8			3.1
Risk free rate		4.52	%		4.40	%

The changes in warrants (Level 3 financial instruments) measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

Balance at March 31, 2023	$	521,711
Change in fair value of derivative financial instruments - warrants		5,776,297
Balance at March 31, 2024	$	6,298,008
Change in fair value of derivative financial instruments - warrants		2,782,913
Balance at June 30, 2024	$	9,080,921

NOTE 11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Options

Under its 2014 Equity Incentive Plan and its 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, the Company did grant and may grant stock options to officers, selected employees, as well as members of the Board of Directors and advisory board members. On July 1, 2024 the Company restated the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the shares reserved under the option plan by 12,730,000. All options have generally been granted at a price equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock at the date of the grant. Generally, options are granted with a vesting period of up to three years and expire ten years from the date of grant.

The fair value of option awards is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The exercise price of each award is generally not less than the per share fair value in effect as of that award date. The determination of fair value using the Black-Scholes model is affected by the Company’s share fair value as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables, including expected price volatility, risk-free interest rate and projected employee share option exercise behaviors. The Company estimates its expected volatility by using a combination of historical share price volatilities of similar companies within our industry. The expected term of the Company’s stock options for employees has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method for awards, since the Company does not have sufficient exercise history to estimate term of its historical option awards. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve. Expected dividend yield is zero based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

The grant date fair value of option awards is determined using the Black Scholes option-pricing model. No options were issued for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

A summary of the activity of Company’s 2024 Equity Incentive plan and prior equity incentive plans for the three months ended June 30, 2024 is as follows:

SCHEDULE OF STOCK OPTION PLAN

					Weighted
	Shares		Weighted		Average Remaining		Aggregate
	Underlying Options		Average Exercise Price		Contractual Term (in years)		Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at March 31, 2024		15,730,000	$	0.05		8.8	$	1,626,748
Granted		—	$	—		—	$	—
Expired and Forfeited		—	$	—		—	$	—
Outstanding at June 30, 2024		15,730,000	$	0.05		8.5	$	2,319,442
Exercisable at June 30, 2024		4,050,000	$	0.04		7.9	$	633,054

The aggregate intrinsic value for outstanding options is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of the Company’s Common Stock as of June 30, 2024 of $0.20 for those awards with strike prices lower than the quoted price of the Company’s Common Stock as of June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, there was $385,592 in unrecognized stock based compensation expense that will be recognized over a weighted average 1.94 year period.

NOTE 13. SEGMENT RESULTS

FASB ASC 280-10-50 requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach is based on the way a company’s management organized segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company.

The Company has historically determined that its reportable segments are ANDAs for generic products and NDAs for branded products. The Company identified its reporting segments based on the marketing authorization relating to each and the financial information used by its chief operating decision maker to make decisions regarding the allocation of resources to and the financial performance of the reporting segments. During fiscal years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had paused further development of NDAs and has not engaged in business activities in that segment. Accordingly, during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company has only engaged in business activities in a single operating segment.

Asset information by operating segment is not presented below since the chief operating decision maker does not review this information by segment. The reporting segments follow the same accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The following represents selected information for the Company’s reportable segments:


	For the Three Months Ended June 30,
	2024		2023
Operating Income by Segment
ANDA	$	6,311,251	$	3,607,010
Operating income by Segment	$	6,311,251	$	3,607,010

The Company notes that there was no revenue related to the NDA segment for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

The table below reconciles the Company’s operating income by segment to income before income taxes as reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations:

NOTE 14. RELATED PARTY AGREEMENTS

Mikah Pharma, LLC Agreements

In May 2020, Praxgen (formerly known as SunGen Pharma LLC), pursuant to an asset purchase agreement, assigned its rights and obligations under the Praxgen Agreement for Amphetamine IR and Amphetamine ER to Mikah Pharma LLC (“Mikah”). The ANDAs for Amphetamine IR and Amphetamine ER are now registered under Elite’s name. Mikah will now be Elite’s partner with respect to Amphetamine IR and ER and will assume all the rights and obligations for these products from Praxgen. Mikah was founded in 2009 by Nasrat Hakim, a related party and the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board.

In June 2021, the Company entered into a development and license agreement with Mikah, pursuant to which Mikah will engage in the research, development, sales and licensing of generic pharmaceutical products. In addition, Mikah will collaborate to develop and commercialize generic products including formulation development, analytical method development, manufacturing, sales and marketing of generic products. Initially two generic products were identified for the parties to develop.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company owes an aggregate of $4,435,536 to Mikah in accordance with the agreements, with such amount being recorded as an accrued expense on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 15. INCOME TAXES

The determination of income tax expense in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income is based on the effective tax rate for the year, adjusted for the impact of any discrete items which are accounted for in the period in which they occur. The Company’s income tax expense was $231,979 and $154,975 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively. The Company recorded tax expense of approximately 27.4% and 11.9% of income before income tax expense, for each of the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase of the effective tax rate for the current period as compared to the prior period is primarily due to the release of the valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2024.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this report. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under Item 1A. Risk Factors appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.

Unless expressly indicated or the context requires otherwise, the terms “Elite”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Elite Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and subsidiary.

Background

Elite Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”, “Elite”, “Elite Pharmaceuticals”, the “registrant”, “we”, “us” or “our”) was incorporated on October 1, 1997 under the laws of the State of Delaware, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Elite Laboratories, Inc. (“Elite Labs”), was incorporated on August 23, 1990 under the laws of the State of Delaware. On January 5, 2012, Elite Pharmaceuticals was reincorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada.

We are a specialty pharmaceutical company principally engaged in the development and manufacture of oral, controlled-release products, and the manufacture of generic pharmaceuticals. Our strategy includes developing generic versions of controlled-release drug products with high barriers to entry.

We occupy manufacturing, warehouse, laboratory and office space at 135, 144 and 165 Ludlow Avenue in Northvale, NJ (the “Northvale Facility”). The Northvale Facility operates under Current Good Manufacturing Practice (“cGMP”) and is a United States Drug Enforcement Agency (“DEA”) registered facility for research, development, and manufacturing. We are also party to an operating lease for office space at Pompano Beach, Florida (the “Pompano Office Lease”).

Strategy

We focus our efforts on the following areas: (i) manufacturing of a line of generic pharmaceutical products with approved Abbreviated New Drug Applications (“ANDAs”); (ii) development of additional generic pharmaceutical products; (iii) development of the other product candidates in our pipeline including products co-developed with partners; (iv) commercial exploitation of our product candidates either by sales under our own label, license and the collection of royalties, or through the manufacture of our formulations; and (v) development of new products for sale under our own label, and the expansion of our licensing agreements with other pharmaceutical companies, including co-development projects, joint ventures and other collaborations.

Our focus is on the development of various types of drug products, including generic drug products which require ANDAs as well as branded drug products which require New Drug Applications (“NDAs”) under Section 505(b)(1) or 505(b)(2) of the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984.

We believe that our business strategy enables us to reduce its risk by having a diverse product portfolio that includes generic products in various therapeutic categories and to build collaborations and establish licensing agreements with companies with greater resources thereby allowing us to share costs of development and improve cash-flow.

Recent Developments

On May 20, 2024, the Company reported that it received approval from the FDA for a generic version of Methotrexate Sodium 2.5mg tablets. Methotrexate Sodium belongs to a class of drugs known as antimetabolites and will be sold under the Elite Laboratories Inc. label.

Products Under FDA Review

SequestOx™ - Immediate Release Oxycodone with sequestered Naltrexone

SequestOx™ is our abuse-deterrent candidate for the management of moderate to severe pain where the use of an opioid analgesic is appropriate. SequestOx™ is an immediate-release Oxycodone Hydrochloride containing sequestered Naltrexone which incorporates 5mg, 10mg, 15mg, 20mg and 30mg doses of oxycodone into capsules.

In January 2016, the Company submitted a 505(b)(2) New Drug Application for SequestOx™, after receiving a waiver of the $2.3 million filing fee from the FDA. In March 2016, the Company received notification of the FDA’s acceptance of this filing and that such filing has been granted priority review by the FDA with a target action under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act of July 14, 2016.

On July 15, 2016, the FDA issued a Complete Response Letter, or CRL, regarding the NDA. The CRL stated that the review cycle for the SequestOx™ NDA is complete and the application is not ready for approval in its present form.

On July 7, 2017, the Company reported topline results from a pivotal bioequivalence fed study for or SequestOx™. The mean Tmax (the amount of time that a drug is present at the maximum concentration in serum) of SequestOx™ was 4.6 hr. with a range of 0.5 hr. to 12 hr. and the mean Tmax of the comparator, Roxicodone®, was 3.4 hr. with a range of 0.5 hr. to 12 hr. A key objective for the study was to determine if the reformulated SequestOx™ had a similar Tmax to the comparator when taken with a high fat meal. Based on these results, the Company paused clinical trials for this formulation of SequestOx™. On January 30, 2018, the Company reported positive topline results from a pilot study conducted for a modified SequestOx™ wherein, based on the results of this pilot study, the modified SequestOx™ formulation is expected to achieve bioequivalence with a Tmax range equivalent to the reference product when conducted in a pivotal trial under fed conditions. The Company has provided the pilot data to the FDA, requesting clarification as to the requirements for resubmission of the NDA. The FDA has provided guidance for repeated bio-equivalence studies in order to bridge the new formulation to the original SequestOx™ studies and also extended our filing fee waiver until July 2023. Due to the prohibitive cost of such repeated bio-equivalence studies and the uncertain commercial viability given the regulatory and competitive landscape, the Company has paused development of this product candidate.

There can be no assurances of the Company conducting future clinical trials, or if such trials are conducted, there can be no assurances of the success of any future clinical trials, or if such trials are successful, there can be no assurances that an intended future resubmission of the NDA product filing, if made, will be accepted by or receive marketing approval from the FDA. In addition, even if marketing authorization is received, there can be no assurances that there will be future revenues or profits, or that any such future revenues or profits would be in amounts that provide adequate return on the significant investments made to secure this marketing authorization.

Generic Products Filed

Currently the Company has filed the following ANDA’s which have been accepted for review by the FDA:

	●	Generic dopamine agonist accepted for review in December 2022

	●	Generic antimetabolite accepted for review in April 2023

Those ANDAs with a cost/benefit profile not consistent with management criteria for continuation are identified for disposition and effort is made to determine the optimal course of action to achieve disposition of the ANDA.

The Company did not transfer or discontinue any ANDAs during the quarterly period ending June 30, 2024 or Fiscal 2024.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP, and our discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and operating results require our management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates and such differences may be material. We have identified below the critical accounting policies, which are assumptions made by management about matters that are highly uncertain and that are of critical importance in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Due to the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain, materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. On a regular basis, we review our critical accounting policies and how they are applied in the preparation our financial statements.

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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition - The Company generates revenue from manufacturing and licensing fees and sales of generic pharmaceuticals bearing the Elite label to pharmaceutical distributors for pharmacies and institutions. Manufacturing fees include the development of pain management products, manufacturing of a line of generic pharmaceutical products with approved ANDA, through the manufacture of formulations and the development of new products. Revenues earned from the sale of Elite label products are recorded at their net realizable value which consists of gross amounts invoiced reduced by contractual reductions, including, without limitation, chargebacks, discounts and program rebates, as applicable. Licensing fees include the commercialization of products either by license and the collection of royalties, or the expansion of licensing agreements with other pharmaceutical companies, including co-development projects, joint ventures and other collaborations.

Under ASC 606, Revenue from Contacts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which is expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenues following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied. Sales, value add, and other taxes collected on behalf of third parties are excluded from revenue.

Nature of goods and services

a) Manufacturing Fees

b) License Fees

In accordance with ASC 606-10-55-65, royalties are recognized when the subsequent sale of the customer’s products occurs.

c) Sale of product under the Elite label

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Expected Credit Losses - Accounts receivable are comprised of balances due from customers, net of estimated allowances for expected credit losses, and other contractual deductions, including, without limitation, chargebacks, discounts and program rebates. In determining collectability, historical trends are evaluated, and specific customer issues are reviewed on a periodic basis to arrive at appropriate allowances.

The allowance for expected credit losses is based on the probability of future collection under the current expected credited loss (“CECL”) impairment model under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Assets, which was adopted by the Company on April 1, 2023, as discussed below within Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements. Under the CECL impairment model, the Company determines its allowance by applying a loss-rate method based on an aging schedule using the Company’s historical loss rate. The Company also considers reasonable and supportable current information in determining its estimated loss rates, such as external forecasts, macroeconomic trends or other factors including customers’ credit risk and historical loss experience. The adequacy of the allowance is evaluated on a regular basis. Account balances are written off after all means of collection are exhausted and the balance is deemed uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries are credited to the allowance. Changes in the allowance are recorded as adjustments to credit losses in the period incurred.

Expected credit losses stemming from unbilled receivables expected to be billed between June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2028 include additional risk premiums estimated based on factors such as projected inflation, projected decreases in GDP, and projected unemployment.

Income Taxes - Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Where applicable, the Company records a valuation allowance to reduce any deferred tax assets that it determines will not be realizable in the future.

The Company operates in multiple tax jurisdictions within the United States of America. The Company remains subject to examination in all tax jurisdiction until the applicable statutes of limitation expire. As of December 31, 2023, a summary of the tax years that remain subject to examination in our major tax jurisdictions are: United States – Federal, 2020 and forward, and State, 2019 and forward. The Company did not record unrecognized tax positions for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Results of Operations:

The following set forth our results of operations for the periods presented. The period-to-period comparison of financial results is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023

Revenue, Cost of revenue and Gross profit:

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,						Change
	2024			2023			Dollars			Percentage
Manufacturing fees	$	18,443,918		$	7,909,237		$	10,534,681			133	%
Licensing fees		359,145			1,070,839			(711,694	)		(66	)%
Total revenue		18,803,063			8,980,076			9,822,987			109	%
Cost of manufacturing		10,328,285			4,229,521			6,098,764			144	%
Gross profit	$	8,474,778		$	4,750,555		$	3,724,223			78	%

Gross profit - percentage		45	%		53	%

Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased by $9.8 million or 109%, to $18.8 million, as compared to $9.0 million, for the corresponding period of the prior year, primarily due to the Elite label products achieving greater sales fifteen months after their launch, as compared to the comparable period of the prior year being the period in which the Elite label was initially launched.

Manufacturing fees revenue increased by $10.5 million, or 133%, primarily due to the Elite label products achieving greater sales fifteen months after their launch, as compared to the comparable period of the prior year being the period in which the Elite label was initially launched.

Licensing fees revenue decreased by $0.7 million, or 66%. This decrease is primarily due to the Company’s transitioning away from licensing products to third parties to marketing of the Elite label, which does not result in license fee revenues.

Cost of revenue consists of manufacturing and assembly costs. Our cost of revenue increased by $6.1 million or 144%, to $10.3 million as compared to $4.2 million for the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. This increase was due to an increased volume of products sold during the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the comparable period of the prior fiscal year, as noted above.

Our gross profit margin was 45% during the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to 53% for the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease is due to a combination of increased overheads resulting from facility expansion necessary to support volumes in excess of current levels and lower product margins required to increase and maintain the level of sales.

Operating expenses:

	For the Three Months Ended June 30,				Change
	2024		2023		Dollars		Percentage
Operating expenses:
Research and development	$	2,163,527	$	1,143,545	$	1,019,982		89	%
General and administrative		1,969,154		1,661,704		307,450		19	%
Non-cash compensation		52,329		15,000		37,329		249	%
Depreciation and amortization		425,712		328,282		97,430		30	%
Total operating expenses	$	4,610,722	$	3,148,531	$	1,462,191		46	%

Operating expenses consist of research and development costs, general and administrative costs, non-cash compensation and depreciation and amortization expenses. Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased by $1.5 million, or 46%, to $4.6 million as compared to $3.1 million for the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year, largely due to an increase in research and development of $1.0 million and general and administrative expenses of $0.3 million.

Research and development costs during the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $2.2 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 89%, from approximately $1.1 million of such costs for the prior year. The increase was a result of the number, timing and nature of product development activities during the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $2.0 million as compared to $1.7 million for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year, an increase of $0.3 million or approximately 19%, largely due to an increased human resource headcount and costs as compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year as well as infrastructure costs related to Elite label commercial activities resulting from the commercial launch of the Elite label product line during the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Depreciation and amortization expenses from the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $0.4 million as compared to $0.3 million for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year, an increase of $0.1 million or approximately 30%. This increase is due to depreciation expense being recorded on an increased fixed asset base which resulted from additional investments in capital manufacturing facilities.

As a result of the foregoing, our income from operations during the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $3.9 million, compared to income from operations of $1.6 million for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.

Other income (expense):

Other expense	For the Three Months Ended June 30,						Change
	2024			2023			Dollars			Percentage
Other expense:
Change in fair value of derivative financial instruments - warrants	$	(2,782,913	)	$	(189,367	)	$	(2,593,546	)		1370	%
Interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs		(250,781	)		(119,412	)		(131,369	)		110	%
Interest income		5,390			3,516			1,874			53	%
Other income		12,000			—			12,000			—	%
Other expense, net	$	(3,016,304	)	$	(305,263	)	$	(2,711,041	)		888	%

Other expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $3.0 million, an increase of $2.7 million for the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily due to a net increases in other expenses of $2.6 million relating to the change in fair value of warrant derivative instruments, $0.1 million relating to increased interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs, less than $0.1 million relating to the loss on asset disposal, and less than $0.1 million relating to the increase in interest income, offset by increases in other income totaling less than $0.1 million. The change in the fair value of derivative instruments and stock-based liabilities is determined in large part by the change in the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock as of the end of the period, as compared to the closing price at the beginning of the period, with a strong inverse relationship between the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments and stock-based liabilities and decreases in the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock. The increase in interest expense associated with the loans payable is due in large part to increased right of use financing agreements related to ongoing facility expansion.

As a result of the foregoing, our net income before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $0.8 million, compared to net income before income taxes of $1.3 million for the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Resources

	June 30, 2024		March 31, 2024		Change

The Caskey Promissory Note has a current maturity date of June 30, 2025.

East West Bank

On April 2, 2022, the Company and Elite Labs entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “EWB Loan Agreement”) with East West Bank (“EWB”). Pursuant to the EWB Loan Agreement, the Company and Elite Labs received one term loan for a principal amount of $12,000,000 (the “EWB Term Loan”) and a revolving line of credit up to $2,000,000 (the “EWB Revolver,” together with the “EWB Term Loan,” the EWB Loans”), each of which shall be used for working capital. As of March 31, 2023, the principal and interest on the EWB Term Loan has been paid in full by the Company and the EWB Loan Agreement is terminated.

On July 1, 2022, EWB provided a mortgage loan (“EWB Mortgage Loan”) in the amount of $2.55 million for the purchase of the property at 135-137 Ludlow Avenue, which was formerly a lease held by the Company. The EWB Mortgage Loan matures in 10 years and bears interest at a rate of 4.75% fixed for 5 years then adjustable at WSJP plus 0.5% with floor rate of 4.5%. The total transaction costs associated with the EWB Mortgage Loan incurred as of June 30, 2024, were $13,251, which are being amortized on a monthly basis over ten years, beginning in July 2022. The EWB Mortgage Loan contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. These covenants include maintaining a minimum debt coverage ratio of 1.50 to 1.00 tested annually and a minimum trailing 12-month debt coverage ratio of 1.50 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2024, and through the date of filing of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Company is not aware of the existence of any violations of financial covenants included in the EWB Mortgage Loan.

Lincoln Park Capital – July 8, 2020 Purchase Agreement

On July 8, 2020, the Company entered into a purchase agreement (the “2020 LPC Purchase Agreement”), and a registration rights agreement, with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”), pursuant to which Lincoln Park has committed to purchase up to $25.0 million of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, from time to time over the term of the 2020 LPC Purchase Agreement, at the Company’s direction. The 2020 LPC Purchase Agreement expired on August 1, 2023.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not issue any shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park.

NJEDA Bonds

On August 31, 2005, the Company successfully completed a refinancing of a prior 1999 bond issue through the issuance of new tax-exempt bonds (the “Bonds”). The refinancing involved borrowing $4,155,000, evidenced by a 6.5% Series A Note in the principal amount of $3,660,000 maturing on September 1, 2030 and a 9% Series B Note in the principal amount of $495,000 maturing on September 1, 2012. The net proceeds, after payment of issuance costs, were used (i) to redeem the outstanding tax-exempt Bonds originally issued by the Authority on September 2, 1999, (ii) refinance other equipment financing and (iii) for the purchase of certain equipment to be used in the manufacture of pharmaceutical products. As of March 31, 2016, all of the proceeds were utilized by the Company for such stated purposes.

Interest is payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year. The Bonds are collateralized by a first lien on the Company’s facility and equipment acquired with the proceeds of the original and refinanced Bonds. The related Indenture requires the maintenance of a Debt Service Reserve Fund of $366,000 in relation to the Series A Notes.

Bond issue costs of $354,454 were paid from the bond proceeds and are being amortized over the life of the bonds. Amortization of bond issuance costs amounted to $3,544 for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

The NJEDA Bonds require the Company to make an annual principal payment on September 1st of varying amounts as specified in the loan documents and semi-annual interest payments on March 1st and September 1st, equal to interest due on the outstanding principal at the applicable rate for the semi-annual period just ended.

In addition, the Company had previously received Notices of Default from the Trustee of the NJEDA Bonds as a result of the utilization of the debt service reserve being used to pay interest payments as well as the company’s failure to make scheduled principal payments. All monetary defaults were cured during Fiscal 2015 and the Company is current on all NJEDA Bond interest and principal payments.

As of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there are no interest or principal amounts in arrears. The Series B Notes were retired, at par in July 2014.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, refers to controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2024 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and includes those policies and procedures that:(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are achieved. Further, the design of a control system must be balanced against resource constraints, and therefore the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Given the inherent limitations in all systems of controls, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Accordingly, given the inherent limitations in a cost-effective system of internal control, financial statement misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving their objectives. We conduct periodic evaluations of our systems of controls to enhance, where necessary, our control policies and procedures.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Management has used the framework set forth in the report entitled “Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013)” published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on its evaluation, the Company has concluded that due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting noted below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2024 at the reasonable assurance level.

● We were unable to formalize and implement revised controls, policies and procedure documentation to evidence a system of internal controls, including testing of such revised controls, that was consistent with available personnel and resources;

● We failed to maintain effective control activities over our control environment, risk assessment, information technology and monitoring components; and

● We had insufficient segregation of duties, oversight of work performed and lack of compensating controls in our finance and accounting functions due to limited personnel and resources.

Remediation efforts to address material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting

We intend to revise the existing control environment documentation, designing and implementing controls, policies and procedure documentation that is consistent with our current personnel, resources and capabilities, with significant focus on controls relating to financial oversight, management, analysis and reporting of operations emanating from the Company’s manufacturing, marketing and distribution of its Elite Laboratory label product line. Please note that these material weaknesses cannot be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time, allowing management, through testing, to reach a conclusion on such controls design and operational effectiveness

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) provides a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

	●	Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.

	●	Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

	●	Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.
