INFORMATION STATEMENT
INTRODUCTION
 
After careful consideration, on April 24, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) unanimously adopted (i) the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 24, 2008 (the “original agreement”) by and among Interpharm Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, “we” or “us”), our wholly-owned subsidiary Interpharm, Inc., a New York corporation (“Interpharm, Inc.”), Amneal Pharmaceuticals of New York, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Amneal”), and the shareholders of the Company indicated as “majority shareholders” on the signature pages thereto (the “Majority Stockholders”), and (ii) the Contract for the Sale of Real Estate, dated as of April 24, 2008 (the “real estate contract”), among Interpharm, Inc., Interpharm Realty, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“Realty”) and Kashiv, LLC a Delaware limited liability company (“Kashiv”).
 
On May 2, 2008 the Board of Directors unanimously adopted the First Amendment to Asset Purchase Agreement dated May 2, 2008 (the “first amendment”), to the original agreement. The original agreement and the first amendment are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “asset purchase agreement” and such agreements and the real estate contract are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “sale agreements.” Under the sale agreements, the Company, Interpharm, Inc. and Realty (collectively referred to as the “sellers”) will sell substantially all of their assets to Amneal and Kashiv for an aggregate purchase price of $61.6 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments. Under the asset purchase agreement, at the closing, Amneal will also establish an escrow fund of $3.5 million for the potential payment of up to $3.5 million additional consideration to the Company to the extent such funds are not used to indemnify Amneal and Kashiv pursuant to the terms of the sale agreements.
 
In addition to adopting the sale agreements, the Board of Directors has adopted and approved all related agreements and transactions as described in this Information Statement.
 
The Board of Directors has determined that the sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets, as set forth in the sale agreements (the “asset sale”), including the sale under the real estate contract of the real property located at 50 Horseblock Road, Yaphank, New York (the “Real Property”), is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. References to the asset sale in this Information Statement also include the sale of the Real Property.
 
The asset sale involves risks, including the existence of conditions to the obligations of Amneal and Kashiv to complete the asset sale, all of which must either be satisfied or waived prior to the completion of such sale.
 
The sale agreements and related transactions are more fully described in the section entitled “The Asset Purchase Agreement and Related Documents.”
 
This Information Statement is being furnished to stockholders of the Company beginning __________, 2008 in connection with the proposed asset sale to Amneal and Kashiv. It is being furnished to the Company’s stockholders of record as of May 2, 2008. You should not assume that the information contained herein is accurate as of any date other than the date hereof. All information in this Information Statement concerning the Company has been supplied by the Company. All information contained in this Information Statement concerning Amneal and Kashiv has been supplied by Amneal.
 
Copies of the asset purchase agreement and the real estate contract are attached to this Information Statement as Annexes A and B, respectively.
 
As of May 2, 2008, there were (i) 66,738,426 shares of our Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), (ii) 277,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Series C Preferred”), (iii) 4,855,389 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock $0.01 per share ("Series A-1 Preferred"), and (iv) 20,825 shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Series D-1 Preferred” and, together with the Series C Preferred, the “Voting Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law (“Delaware Law”) and the terms of our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended and as currently in effect, the asset sale requires the approval of the majority of the outstanding Common Stock and the Voting Preferred Stock voting together as a single class. The holders of Common Stock and Series C Preferred have one vote per share. The holders of Series D-1 Preferred have one vote per share of Common Stock into which such holders’ shares of Series D-1 Preferred are then convertible. The shares of Series D-1 Preferred outstanding as of May 2, 2008 are convertible into an aggregate of 21,052,632 shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, the approval of holders of shares of Common Stock, Series C Preferred and Series D-1 Preferred entitled to cast 44,034,030 votes, voting together as a single class, is required to approve the asset sale. The holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Stock and Voting Preferred Stock voting together as a single class have executed written consents approving the original agreement, the first amendment and the real estate contract and approving the transactions contemplated by each of those agreements in accordance with Section 228 of Delaware Law. Accordingly, in accordance with Delaware Law and the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended and currently in effect, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and Voting Preferred Stock, voting as a single class, have approved the asset sale and the asset purchase agreement. The actions by written consent are sufficient to approve the sale and the other transactions contemplated by the asset purchase agreement and the real estate contract without any further action or vote of the stockholders of the Company. Accordingly, no other actions are necessary to approve the asset sale, and no such actions are being requested.
 
3
 
The members of Amneal and Kashiv are not required to approve the asset sale.
 
The holders of Series A-1 Preferred do not have voting rights on the asset sale and the consent of the holders of Series A-1 Preferred was not necessary to obtain the stockholder approval of the transaction required by the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or under Delaware Law. However, the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series A-1 Preferred consented to the terms of the asset purchase agreement thereby waiving certain rights such holders would have in connection with the asset sale.
 
THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR YOUR VOTE OR A PROXY. WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY. THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT IS DESIGNED TO INFORM YOU OF THE ASSET SALE AND TO PROVIDE YOU WITH INFORMATION ABOUT THE ASSET SALE AND THE BACKGROUND TO THE ASSET SALE.
 
NEITHER THE ASSET SALE, THE ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT NOR THE REAL ESTATE CONTRACT HAS BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE "SEC"), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION, NOR HAS THE SEC OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE FAIRNESS OR MERIT OF THE ASSET SALE OR UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
 
NO PERSONS HAVE BEEN AUTHORIZED TO GIVE ANY INFORMATION OR TO MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR STATEMENTS (OTHER THAN THOSE CONTAINED IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT) REGARDING THE ASSET SALE OR THE OTHER MATTERS DISCUSSED HEREIN AND, IF GIVEN OR MADE, ANY SUCH REPRESENTATIONS OR INFORMATION PROVIDED MUST NOT BE RELIED ON AS HAVING BEEN AUTHORIZED OR SANCTIONED BY THE COMPANY OR ANY OTHER PERSON.

SUMMARY
 
 The following is a summary of information contained elsewhere in this Information Statement. Reference is made to, and this summary is qualified in its entirety by, the more detailed information contained elsewhere in this Information Statement and the exhibits attached hereto. We urge you to read this Information Statement, the Asset Purchase Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment, the Real Estate Contract and the Opinion of Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin Financial Advisors, Inc. concerning the fairness of the asset sale transaction referred to herein to the Company from a financial point of view set forth on Annex A, Annex B and Annex C, respectively, in their entirety because they contain important information about the Company and the asset sale.
 
The Parties Involved in the Asset Sale
 
        The parties involved in the asset sale (which for purposes of this Information Statement includes the sale of the Real Property by our subsidiary, Interpharm, Inc.) are the Company, Interpharm, Inc. and Realty (collectively, the “sellers”) and Amneal and Kashiv (collectively, the “buyers”). See “Information Regarding the Parties.”

The Company, Interpharm, Inc. and Realty

The Company, through its operating wholly-owned subsidiary, Interpharm, Inc., has been engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and marketing generic prescription strength and over-the-counter pharmaceuticals since 1984. We currently sell our products under (i) our own label to major retailers, wholesalers, managed care organizations and national distributors and (ii) under private label to wholesalers, distributors, repackagers, and other manufacturers. As of April 30, 2008, we manufactured and marketed 38 generic pharmaceutical products, which represent various oral dosage strengths for eleven unique products and different dosage strengths for 27 of these products.

The Company’s common stock was delisted from the American Stock Exchange on May 1, 2008 and is currently quoted in the Pink Sheets under the symbol "IPAH." The Company’s principal executive offices are located at 75 Adams Avenue, Hauppauge, New York 11788 and its telephone number is 631-952-0214. The Company is a Delaware corporation.

Interpharm, Inc. is a New York corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
 
Realty is a New York limited liability company which is the former owner of the Company's real property in Yaphank, New York and currently has no assets. Realty is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

For addition information, See “Information Regarding the Parties.”
 
Amneal
 
       Amneal is a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Amneal Pharmaceuticals, LLC.  Kashiv, LLC is also a Delaware limited liability company and is owned by the principals of Amneal Pharmaceuticals, LLC.
 
       Amneal Pharmaceuticals, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is a pharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures and distributes generic pharmaceutical products, both over the counter and prescription.  Amneal Pharmaceuticals, LLC is privately owned and has operated since 2001, with its headquarters in Paterson, New Jersey.
 
       For additional information regarding Amneal and Kashiv, see "Information Regarding the Parties."
 
Structure of the Transaction and Consideration to be Received
 
       Under the agreements relating to the asset sale, the sellers will sell to Amneal and Kashiv substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Real Property located at 50 Horseblock Road, Yaphank, New York, in exchange for an aggregate of $61.6 million in cash (which amount is subject to certain adjustments, including credits for advances by Amneal to the Company under the loan and security agreement, reductions for the mutually agreed value of certain liabilities assumed by Amneal and the amount of reductions in inventory of the sellers between the dates of signing and closing of the asset purchase agreement, increases for the face amount of receivables of the sellers which are assigned to Amneal and certain adjustments and prorations under the real estate contract). Under the asset purchase agreement, at the closing, Amneal will also establish an escrow fund of $3.5 million for the potential payment of up to $3.5 million additional consideration to the Company and Interpharm, Inc. to the extent such funds are not used to indemnify Amneal or Kashiv pursuant to the terms of the sale agreements.

The asset sale will become effective following the satisfaction or waiver of all closing conditions as contemplated by the sale agreements. See the section in this information statement entitled "The Asset Purchase Agreement and Related Documents."
 
Interpharm’s Reasons for the Transaction
 
The sellers agreed to enter into the sale agreements because, as a result of certain defaults by the Company under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement (as defined below) and Restated Forbearance Agreement (as defined below) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), under the Amended and Restated Forbearance Agreement, dated as of March 25, 2008 (the “Restated Forbearance Agreement”), among the Company, Interpharm Inc. and Wells Fargo, the Company and Interpharm Inc. had a deadline of April 30, 2008 to procure a binding commitment for a sale if Interpharm Inc. could not refinance its obligations to Wells Fargo under the Credit Agreement and Security Agreement dated as of February 9, 2006 between Interpharm, Inc. and Wells Fargo (the “Wells Fargo Credit Agreement”) with a new lender. If the sellers could not refinance or otherwise satisfy their indebtedness to Wells Fargo, in accordance with the Restated Forbearance Agreement, Wells Fargo would be entitled to foreclose on the sellers’ assets securing such indebtedness (which assets constitute substantially all of the sellers’ assets) and effectively put the sellers out of business. The Board of Directors of the Company determined that the asset sale on the terms negotiated with Amneal and Kashiv was preferable to all other strategic and financial alternatives (including voluntary bankruptcy) then available to the Company and Interpharm, Inc. See the “Background of the Asset Sale.” 

Opinion of the Company’s Financial Advisor

On May 7, 2008, Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin Financial Advisors, Inc. (“Houlihan Lokey”), the Company’s financial advisor in connection with the transaction, rendered a written opinion to the Board of Directors as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be received by the sellers in the asset sale, as of May 7, 2008 and based upon and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken and other matters considered by Houlihan Lokey in preparing its opinion.
 
Houlihan Lokey’s opinion was directed to the Board of Directors and only addressed the fairness from a financial point of view of the consideration to be received by the sellers in the asset sale and does not address any other aspect or implication of the asset sale. The summary of Houlihan Lokey’s opinion in this information statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of its written opinion, which is included as Annex C to this information statement and sets forth the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken and other matters considered by Houlihan Lokey in preparing its opinion. We encourage our stockholders to read carefully the full text of Houlihan Lokey’s written opinion. However, neither Houlihan Lokey’s opinion nor the summary of its opinion and the related analyses set forth in this information statement are intended to be, and do not constitute advice or a recommendation to the Board of Directors or any stockholder as to how to act with respect to the asset sale or related matters. See “Opinion of Houlihan Lokey.”
 
Use of Proceeds
 
The Company will use the cash proceeds of the asset sale to (i) pay expenses incurred in connection with the asset sale (which are estimated to be $_________) and (ii) satisfy in full all liabilities and indebtedness of the Company not assumed by the buyers (estimated to be $______), including a Success Fee of $500,000 payable to Wells Fargo which is payable under the Restated Forbearance Agreement if the asset sale is consummated.
 
Under the asset purchase agreement, the Company has agreed that if the asset sale is consummated, it will not make any payment or distribution with respect to its equity securities, whether by way of redemption, dividend, distribution or otherwise, to the Majority Stockholders or any other holders of Company’s capital stock until more than 90 days after the closing date.
 
In addition to making the above payments, after the asset sale is consummated the Company intends to wind up its operations and distribute its remaining net assets, if any, to its stockholders. At the current time, the Company cannot accurately estimate the amount, if any, which will be available for distribution to its stockholders.
 
For additional information see "The Company's Plans Following the Asset Sale."

Proceeds Sharing Agreement
 
The Majority Stockholders have entered into an Amended and Restated Proceeds Sharing Agreement dated as of May 1, 2008 (the “Proceeds Sharing Agreement”) which provides, among other things, that in the event that the holders of the Company’s Common Stock receive aggregate cash distributions from the Company or Amneal with respect to their shares of Common Stock of less than $3 million and the holders of Series D-1 Preferred (“D-1 Holders”) receive aggregate cash distributions from the Company or Amneal of at least $13 million with respect to their Series D-1 Preferred, each of the D-1 Holders agrees to share proceeds with all holders of Common Stock to the extent that proceeds to such D-1 Holders are in excess of $6.5 million, until all holders of Common Stock have received proceeds from the Company, Amneal and the D-1 Holders equal to an aggregate of $3 million.
 
The Company is not a party to, nor obligated under, the Proceeds Sharing Agreement to make any payments to the holders of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock other than as may be required under the terms of such capital stock.
 
See “The Asset Purchase Agreement and Related Documents - Ancillary Agreement - Proceeds Sharing Agreement."
 
Indemnity
 
The asset purchase agreement obligates us to indemnify the buyers for:

 
·
any liabilities of any seller not assumed by the buyers;

 
·
any failure by us to observe or perform our covenants;

 
·
any representation or warranty made by us being untrue or incorrect in any respect;

 
·
any taxes of any seller or with respect to the business for all periods prior to the closing date, and any tax liability of any seller or the Company’s shareholders arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by the asset purchase agreement;

 
·
any failure of any seller to have good, verified marketable title to the assets to be sold under the asset purchase agreement free and clear of all liens (other than permitted liens);
 
 
·
any challenge to the transaction by any shareholder of the Company;

 
·
all reasonable attorneys fees and other losses in connection with pending litigation (other than litigation that Amneal agrees to assume) against the assets to be sold under the asset purchase agreement;

 
·
certain failures of the sellers to have effective, exclusive and original ownership of all of their tangible and intellectual property;

 
·
brokers fees, commissions or similar payments to Greiner-Maltz Company of Long Island or any of its affiliates with respect to the sale of the Real Property or otherwise; and

 
·
any failure by the Company to pay costs required to be paid by the Company under the asset purchase agreement to transfer to Amneal of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (“DEA”) controlled substances license for the facility at 75 Adams Avenue, Hauppauge, New York and the Real Property; and
     
 
·
any costs of product recalls which occur 180 days after the closing date for product lots which were manufactured prior to the closing date.
 
See “The Asset Purchase Agreement and Related Documents - Indemnification and Escrow.”
 
Escrow
 
The parties have agreed, pursuant to an escrow agreement to be entered into with Sovereign Bank, as escrow agent, that Amneal shall place $3.5 in escrow for one year. The escrow fund shall be used to secure the indemnification obligations of the Company and Interpharm, Inc. under the sale agreements. Funds will be released to the Company after one year assuming no claims against the escrow. See "The Asset Purchase Agreement and Related Documents — Indemnification and Escrow."
 
10
 
Representations and Warranties of the Company and its Subsidiaries
 
The representations and warranties of the sellers contained in the sale agreements include customary representations regarding the sellers and the assets to be conveyed to Amneal and Kashiv. See "The Asset Purchase Agreement and Related Documents — Representations, Warranties, and Covenants.”
 
Conditions to Closing
 
Before the asset sale can be completed certain closing conditions must be satisfied or waived. See “The Asset Purchase Agreement and Related Documents — Conditions Precedent to the Closing of the Asset Sale."
 
Closing
 
Under the sale agreements, the closing of the asset sale is scheduled to be held on June 16, 2008, or, if the DEA has not issued a controlled substances license to Amneal for Interpharm, Inc.’s 75 Adams Avenue, Hauppauge, New York facility prior to June 16, 2008, the closing date shall be automatically extended to the earlier of July 16, 2008 or the third business day after the DEA license is issued. In the event that the DEA license has not been issued to Amneal prior to July 16, 2008 then, unless Amneal and the Company agree to extend the closing date or Amneal waives the condition that it be issued the DEA license prior to closing and elects to close, the asset purchase agreement shall automatically terminate at midnight on July 16, 2008.
 
Under rules promulgated by the SEC, the asset sale may not be consummated until at least 20 days following the mailing of this Information Statement. In addition, the closing of the asset sale is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of additional closing conditions under the sale agreements.
 
We anticipate that the asset sale will close on ______________, 2008, which is the third business day following the date on which the Company will fulfill its information statement filing and mailing obligations by having mailed this information statement to stockholders at least 20 days prior to consummating the asset sale. However, in the event that prior to (i) the earlier of June 16, 2008 and (ii) the third business day after the DEA license is issued, the sellers have not complied with certain of the conditions to the obligations of Amneal to close the sale agreements, the closing date of the sale agreements shall be automatically extended to the third business day following the date on which all of such conditions have been satisfied.
 
For additional information see "The Asset Purchase Agreement and Related Documents — Conditions Precedent to the Closing of the Asset Sale" and — "Termination, Amendments and Waivers."
 
Termination
 
Amneal and the Company have the option to terminate the sale agreements under certain circumstances, including the ability to terminate the sale agreements if the asset sale has not been completed by September 16, 2008, even if the reason the closing has not occurred is that all of Amneal’s conditions to close have not been satisfied. See "The Asset Purchase Agreement and Related Documents—Termination."
 
No Solicitation 
 
    Except in connection with certain unsolicited third-party proposals received prior to the time a definitive Information Statement is filed with the SEC (which occurred on _____, 2008), the asset purchase agreement prohibits the Company from soliciting, and prohibits the Company from participating in discussing with third parties, or taking other actions related to, alternate transactions to the asset sale to Amneal. See “The Asset Purchase Agreement and Related Documents - No Solicitation of Alternative Transactions.”
 
Break-up Fee
 
If the asset purchase agreement is terminated in connection with the Company entering into a definitive agreement with a third party with respect to an alternative transaction, the Company would be required under certain circumstances to pay Amneal a termination fee of 4% of the purchase price in the asset sale (defined as the sum of (a) the $61.6 million base cash purchase price, (b) the $3.5 million escrowed amount and (c) the amount of the sellers’ liabilities assumed by Amneal in connection with the asset sale) and Amneal’s reasonable expenses related to the transaction.  In addition, Interpharm, Inc. would become obligated to repay all advances made to it by Amneal under the loan and security agreement entered into between such parties on April 24, 2008. See “The Asset Purchase Agreement and Related Documents - Break-up Fee.”
 
Expenses
 
    In general, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the sale agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby will be paid by the party incurring the expenses whether or not the asset sale is completed. See “The Asset Purchase Agreement and Related Documents.”

Vote Required for Stockholder Approval
 
Since the asset sale may constitute a sale of "all or substantially all" of the assets of the Company as defined under Section 271 of Delaware Law, the Company has elected to obtain stockholder approval of the asset sale. Section 271 of Delaware Law requires the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote on that matter.
 
As of May 2, 2008, there were (i) 66,738,426 shares of our Common Stock, (ii) 277,000 shares of Series C Preferred, (iii) 4,855,389 shares of Series A-1 Preferred and (iv) 20,825 shares of Series D-1 Preferred issued and outstanding. The Series C Preferred and the Series D-1 Preferred (which are collectively referred to as the “Voting Preferred Stock”) are the only shares of preferred stock which carry rights to vote on the asset sale. Under Delaware Law and the terms of our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended and as currently in effect, the asset sale requires the approval of the majority of the outstanding Common Stock and Voting Preferred Stock voting together as a single class. The holders of Common Stock and Series C Preferred have one vote per share. The holders of Series D-1 Preferred have one vote per share of Common Stock into which such holders' shares of Series D-1 Preferred are then convertible. The shares of Series D-1 Preferred outstanding as of May 2, 2008 are convertible into 21,052,632 shares of Common Stock.

Q:
Am I being asked to vote on the asset sale? 

A:
No, we are not asking you to vote for approval of the asset sale or to provide your written consent to the asset sale, because your vote or written consent is not required for approval of the asset sale, which has been already been approved by the written consents of the Majority Stockholders.

Q:
Will any of the proceeds from the asset sale be distributed to me as a shareholder? 

A:
After the asset sale is consummated the Company intends to pay all of its outstanding indebtedness and to wind up its operations and distribute its remaining net assets, if any, to its stockholders. Under the asset purchase agreement, the Company has agreed that if the asset sale is consummated, it will not make any payment or distribution with respect to its equity securities, whether by way of redemption, dividend, distribution or otherwise, to the Majority Stockholders or any other holders of Company’s capital stock until more than 90 days after the closing date. At the current time, the Company cannot accurately estimate the amount, if any, which will be available for distribution to its stockholders.

Q:
The asset purchase agreement was amended. What terms were changed? 

A: 
The parties amended the asset purchase agreement on May 2, 2008 to, among other things, decrease the base cash amount payable at closing to the Company to $61,600,000 from $65,000,000; to add certain matters for which the Company and Interpharm, Inc. would indemnify the buyers; to add certain pre-closing covenants; and to amend certain schedules to the asset purchase agreement. No other material terms were changed.

Q:
Is the asset sale subject to the satisfaction of any conditions? 

A:
Yes. Before the asset sale can be consummated, certain closing conditions must be satisfied or waived. These conditions are described in this information statement in the section entitled "The Asset Purchase Agreement and Related Documents—Conditions Precedent to Obligations of Amneal." If these conditions are not satisfied or waived, then the asset sale will not be consummated even though it has been approved by written consent.

A:
We intend to consummate the asset sale on the date on which all of the remaining closing conditions specified in the asset purchase agreement are satisfied or waived.

Q: 
What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the asset sale? 

A: 
The net proceeds from the asset sale will consist solely of cash. The sale of our assets will generally generate a capital gain or loss to us depending on whether the net proceeds are greater or less than our adjusted tax basis in such assets. We believe that we have net operating losses available that will be sufficient to offset any gains realized upon consummation of the asset sale.
 
Our stockholders will not directly experience any U.S. federal income tax consequences as a result of the consummation of the asset sale.
 
For additional information on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the asset sale, see the section in this information statement entitled "Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations" beginning on page 35.

BACKGROUND OF THE ASSET SALE
 
On February 9, 2006, the Company and Interpharm, Inc. entered into a credit and security agreement (the "Wells Fargo Credit Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, acting through its Wells Fargo Business Credit operating division ("Wells Fargo" or “Wells Fargo Business Credit”). Under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement, the Company obtained a $41,500,000 credit facility from Wells Fargo. Copies of the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement and related documents are annexed to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 15, 2006.

On October 26, 2007, the Company, Interpharm, Inc. and Wells Fargo Business Credit entered into a Forbearance Agreement, which was subsequently amended on November 12, 2007. The amendment was necessary because as of June 30, 2007, the Company had defaulted under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement with respect to (i) financial reporting obligations, including the submission of its annual audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 and (ii) financial covenants related to minimum net cash flow, maximum allowable leverage ratio, maximum allowable total capital expenditures and unfinanced capital expenditures for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 (collectively, the “Existing Defaults”).
 
15
 
Under the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, Wells Fargo agreed to waive the Existing Defaults based upon the receipt by Interpharm Inc. of at least $8,000,000 in proceeds from the sale of equity or subordinated debt. On November 7 and 14, 2007, the Company and Interpharm, Inc. received a total of $8,000,000 in gross proceeds from the issuance and sale of subordinated debt. In addition, the Forbearance Agreement served as an amendment to the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement with respect to certain financial covenants, including, but not limited to, the Company’s required “net income before tax” and “net cash flow” for certain periods.

On January 10, 2008, the Company and Interpharm, Inc. received notice of defaults under the Forbearance Agreement with respect to: (i) financial covenants relating to required net income before tax for the months ended October 31, 2007 and November 30, 2007, (ii) financial covenants relating to required net cash flow for the months ended October 31, 2007 and November 30, 2007 and (iii) an obligation to have a designated financial advisor provide an opinion as to Company’s and Interpharm, Inc.’s ability to meet their fiscal year 2008 projections.

As a result of the January 10, 2008 defaults, Wells Fargo began a review of the Company’s and Interpharm, Inc.’s borrowing base and eligible collateral. At that time, the Company and Interpharm, Inc. did not have any credit availability under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement, had fallen behind on payments to raw material vendors and had limited ability to procure enough raw materials in order to meet customer orders. On January 21, 2008, Wells Fargo reduced the available credit facility by making wholesale accounts receivables from Cardinal Health, McKesson, and AmeriSource Bergen ineligible from the borrowing base.
 
On January 28, 2008, the Company’s Management, key investors and certain members of the Board of Directors met at the request of Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo registered concern as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In response to Wells Fargo’s actions, the Company’s management and its Board of Directors developed a plan to overhaul the operations of the Company and to seek financing of equity or debt or alternatively to consider a sale or merger of the business to enhance creditor and shareholder value. Management and a designee of the Board, Richard J. Miller, presented a restructuring plan (the “Plan”) to Wells Fargo on January 29, 2008 and negotiated the New Forbearance Agreement with Wells Fargo described below.
 
As part of the Plan, the Company agreed to reduce the payroll of the business and seek refinancing or sale of the business. In the ensuing four weeks, the Company interviewed several investment bankers to solicit their interest in representing the Company. The bankers suggested that the Company and its creditors and stockholders would be best served to refinance the business. The Board concluded to follow several paths of refinancing and sale and engaged a Board member, Richard Miller, to lead such efforts. In connection with Wells Fargo’s review, the Company and Interpharm, Inc. completed a restructuring of their operations pursuant to a new operating plan under which 20% of payroll expenses were eliminated by a reduction in force, research and development activities were substantially reduced and the Company and Interpharm, Inc. began the process to seek an alternative source of financing.

On February 5, 2008, the Company, Interpharm, Inc. and Wells Fargo entered into a new Forbearance Agreement (the “New Forbearance Agreement”) whereby Wells Fargo agreed to, among other things, (i) forbear from exercising its remedies arising from the Company’s and Interpharm, Inc.’s default under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement until June 30, 2008 provided no further default occurred; (ii) provide a moratorium on certain principal payments; and (iii) advance the Company up to $2,999,999 under a newly granted real estate line of credit mortgage on the Company’s real estate, which amounts were to be due on June 30, 2008.

The New Forbearance Agreement limited the Company’s and Interpharm, Inc.’s borrowing base on which certain advances are made, including receivables from certain wholesaler customers which comprised approximately 19% of Interpharm, Inc.’s sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. Sales to these wholesale customers were made at a “wholesale acquisition cost” and then the difference between this cost and the price at which the products were resold by the wholesaler was charged against the receivable to Interpharm, Inc.
 
16
 
The New Forbearance Agreement also provided for a number of events of default, including (i) a material adverse change; (ii) failure of the Company to meet certain budget items by more than 10%; (iii) failure to receive a letter of intent for the sale of the assets of the Company for an amount in excess of the Wells Fargo indebtedness by March 31, 2008; (iv) failure by the Company to receive a commitment for the sale of the assets of the Company for an amount in excess of the Wells Fargo indebtedness by April 30, 2008; (v) failure of the Company to close a transaction for the sale of the assets of the Company for an amount in excess of the Wells Fargo indebtedness by June 30, 2008; and (vi) the Wells Fargo indebtedness remaining outstanding on June 30, 2008.

In addition, the New Forbearance Agreement provided for the payment to Wells Fargo of a “Success Fee” of $500,000 in the event that the Company was able to complete a sale of its stock or assets. In the event that the entire Wells Fargo indebtedness was paid by February 28, 2008, the Success Fee was to be reduced to $250,000, if by March 31, 2008 it was to be reduced to $350,000 and if by April 30, 2008 it was to be reduced to $450,000.
 
In February 2008, the Company, through Richard Miller, one of its directors, sought refinancing of its debt to Wells Fargo from 29 lending groups and six equity firms. The Company also discussed the possible acquisition of its business with eight companies who expressed various levels of interest in the Company. A sale process was established whereby the Company would provide certain information under a confidentiality agreement to interested acquirers for their review in order to make an initial proposal to the Company. An initial proposal would require a bidder to propose a value for the business, the internal requirements for approval, and any regulatory hurdles to complete a transaction.
 
Two equity financing sources (“Equity source A” and “Equity source B”) expressed significant interest in March 2008. Equity source A expressed an interest in investing $5 million into the Company in connection with a refinancing of the Wells Fargo debt. After diligence with the Company and its investors, Equity source A determined that it was not interested in moving forward in a transaction. Equity source B reviewed materials, held discussions with the Company and informally proposed a $5 million mezzanine investment. After further discussions with the Company, Equity source B withdrew its interest in the investment opportunity.

On March 11, 2008, Mr. Miller met with Wells Fargo to update them on the performance of the Company and the refinancing and sale efforts. Mr. Miller reported the Company’s revenue in February 2008 exceeded budget by over 25% and that the Company had EBITDA from operations of over $800,000. In addition, the Company was in compliance with all covenants in the Forbearance Agreement. Mr. Miller outlined the potential lenders for refinancing as well as efforts to sell the business. Wells Fargo expressed satisfaction as to the speed of the turnaround of the business.

On March 13, 2008, the Company received a letter from Wells Fargo that it was reducing the advance rate on its inventory borrowing facility from fifty percent to thirty-nine percent effective March 17, 2008. The reduction eliminated almost all of the availability the Company had built in its working capital line. In response, the Company and its counsel met with the Wells Fargo on March 17, 2008 to discuss the inventory advance rate reduction, Wells Fargo’s contractual right to reduce the advance rate and the impact Wells Fargo’s actions would have on the Company’s business.
 
Wells Fargo informed the Company that it had reduced the advance rate based upon a recently procured appraisal of the Company’s and Interpharm, Inc.’s inventory which resulted in a reduction in available collateral against which to borrow. As a result, on March 25, 2008, the Company, Interpharm, Inc. and Wells Fargo entered into an Amended and Restated Forbearance Agreement (the “Restated Forbearance Agreement”) in which, in exchange for a $250,000 payment and other consideration, Wells Fargo agreed to provide the Company with additional borrowing availability through: (i) increasing the cap on Interpharm’s revolving credit line by approximately $2.3 million which was secured by a mortgage against its facility at 50 Horseblock Road in Yaphank, New York; (ii) increasing the percentage of inventory which was eligible as collateral for borrowing; and (iii) adding eligible receivables against which to borrow.

In addition to the foregoing, the Restated Forbearance Agreement provided that it was an event of default if the Company did not receive a letter of intent for a purchase of substantially all of its assets for an amount in excess of the amounts owing to Wells Fargo, or a proposal to refinance the amounts owing to Wells Fargo, by March 31, 2008.
 
17
 
On March 18, 2008, the Company received a proposal from a mezzanine lender (“Lender A”) for a $30 million term loan to be used to refinance the amounts owed to Wells Fargo. The contemplated interest rate was 12% with an additional stock dividend equal to 2%. In addition, the Company was to issue to Lender A a number of warrants equal to 5% of the number of fully diluted outstanding shares of common stock of the Company with an exercise price of $0.20 and which were to have a 10 year term.

The proposal also set forth a time frame of between April 4 and April 8, 2008 for Lender A’s credit committee approval. On April 9, 2008, Lender A informed the Company that it was amending its proposal due to the concerns over the impact of the Wells Fargo reduction in inventory advance rates of March 13, 2008. The new proposal included requirements of significant additional due diligence expenses that the Company would be required to prepay and lacked certainty of closing on the transaction by April 30, 2008.
 
The Company received another refinancing proposal on March 20, 2008 from a bank (“Lender B”). Lender B’s proposal was for a $20,000,000 senior secured revolving credit facility to refinance existing Wells Fargo indebtedness and to provide working capital. The security for the credit facility was to be the Company’s eligible accounts receivable. In early April 2008, Lender B advised that it would not proceed with the proposal due to Lender B’s deemed ineligibility of the Company’s receivables from pharmaceutical wholesalers with agreements providing that when and if the Company is unable to ship products, the wholesaler can obtain substitute products and chargeback any difference in price to the Company.
 
The only other refinancing proposal received by the Company was a proposal from a lender ("Lender C"). Lender C proposed a refinancing of the Real Property for $10 million which was declined by the Company as it would not have provided the necessary amount of money to repay Wells Fargo, by itself and the Company believed it could obtain a higher amount from a refinancing of the Real Property.

At the time that the Company and Interpharm entered into the Restated Forbearance Agreement, it had been in the process of seeking means of accounts receivable financing for the accounts against which Wells Fargo would not lend, a new credit line which could replace the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement and pay off Wells Fargo all amounts owed and/or a sale of the Company and/or substantially all of its assets.

In March and April, 2008, the Company, through its designated representative, Richard Miller, a director of the Company, held discussions with six potential buyers of the Company or substantially all of its assets. From March 14, 2008 to April 9, 2008, the Company received and responded to inquiries from four interested acquirers. On March 21, 2008, the Company received a proposed letter of intent from Amneal Pharmaceuticals, LLC, Amneal’s parent company, to acquire the Company for $55 million. Except for entering into a non-disclosure agreement in connection with a potential transaction prior to receiving the letter of intent, the Company had no prior relationships with Amneal Pharmaceuticals, LLC which became aware of the Company through a law firm that performed services for both the Company and Amneal Pharmaceuticals, LLC. The Company had several subsequent meetings and conversations with Amneal Pharmaceuticals, LLC management in an effort to communicate to Amneal Pharmaceuticals, LLC's management the value of the Company’s assets.

Three interested parties submitted term sheets. Bidder A conducted on-site due diligence on April 2, 2008, received follow-up due diligence materials and conducted follow-up due diligence calls that culminated in a proposal April 9, 2008. Bidder B met with the Company on March 31, 2008 and performed certain due diligence on the Company information that resulted in a proposal delivered April 2, 2008. Bidder B’s proposal was reviewed and compared for financial comparison, certainty of closure, and structural elements. Bidder C proposed a transaction on March 21, 2008, but was unable to demonstrate an ability to finance the transaction and therefore, the Company did not consider its bid. The Company responded to Amneal Pharmaceuticals, LLC, Bidder A and Bidder B with additional due diligence information and invited each to re-bid. Neither Bidder A nor Bidder B submitted a revised proposal.

On April 7, 2008 Amneal Pharmaceuticals, LLC revised its proposal to $65.5 million for the purchase of substantially all of the Company’s assets. After several days during which the parties held multiple calls and negotiations, Amneal Pharmaceuticals, LLC revised its proposal on April 11, 2008 to a total of $68.5 million, exceeding the next highest bid by $3.5 million – Bidder A had bid $50 million and Bidder B had bid $65 million. The Company’s Board of Directors approved the proposal and executed a letter of intent for a transaction with $68.5 million of purchase price consideration with interim financing for the Company.

On April 11, 2008, the Company reached agreement on a term sheet for the sale of substantially all of its assets to Amneal. Later that day, Amneal presented to the Company a draft Asset Purchase Agreement, Contract of Sale for the Company’s Real Property at 50 Horseblock Road in Yaphank, New York and a Loan and Security Agreement for a $1.5 million loan to the Company from Amneal pending the closing under the Asset Purchase Agreement. The parties began negotiating the draft agreements in meetings which began on April 14, 2008 and which concluded on April 24, 2008 when the transaction documents were executed.
 
18
 
After execution of the Amneal term sheet, the Company received a bid from a prospective purchaser for the Real Property of $12 million. The Compay declined the bid in favor of the Amneal asset sale.
 
Background to the Amendment to the Asset Purchase Agreement

Under the asset purchase agreement, Amneal had a period to April 30, 2008 (which period was extended to May 2, 2008 by written agreement of the parties) to conduct a due diligence review of the sellers and their assets. Based upon the results thereof, Amneal would have the right to terminate its purchase obligation and receive the return of its advances to Interpharm, Inc. under the loan and security agreement. Prior to the end of the due diligence period, the parties engaged in negotiations and discussion regarding several due diligence issues raised by Amneal. The result of those negotiations was that Amneal committed to continue with the asset sale transaction under the terms of the first amendment to the asset purchase agreement in lieu of exercising its right to terminate the Agreement.

In the first amendment, the parties agreed to a reduction of the base cash amount (a component of the purchase price which does not include $3.5 million to be deposited in escrow by Amneal for the potential payment of up to $3.5 million additional consideration to the Company and Interpharm, to the extent such funds are not used to indemnify Amneal or Kashiv pursuant to the terms of the sale agreements) from $65.0 million to $61.6 million. In addition, the parties agreed to add certain covenants and indemnity obligations of the Company and Interpham, Inc. as well as certain schedules to the original agreement.

THE COMPANY’S REASONS FOR THE ASSET SALE

The Company and Interpharm agreed to enter into the sale agreements because, as a result of certain defaults by the Company under the Restated Forbearance Agreement, under the Restated Forbearance Agreement with Wells Fargo they had a deadline of April 30, 2008 to procure a binding commitment for a sale if they could not refinance their obligations to Wells Fargo under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement with a new lender. If the sellers could not refinance or otherwise satisfy their indebtedness to Wells Fargo, in accordance with the Restated Forbearance Agreement, Wells Fargo would be entitled to foreclose on the sellers' assets securing such indebtedness (which assets constitute substantially all of the sellers' assets) and effectively put the sellers out of business. The Board of Directors of the Company determined that an asset sale on the terms negotiated with Amneal and Kashiv was more favorable to the Company and its shareholders than other strategic and financial alternatives (including voluntary bankruptcy) then available to the Company.
 
THE COMPANY’S PLANS FOLLOWING THE ASSET SALE
 
After the asset sale is completed, we intend to pay off our indebtedness in full, wind up our affairs and distribute our remaining net assets, if any, to our stockholders. At the current time, we cannot accurately estimate the amount, if any, which will be available for distribution to our stockholders.
 
The Majority Stockholders have entered into a Proceeds Sharing Agreement which provides, among other things, that in the event that the holders of the Company’s Common Stock receive aggregate cash distributions from the Company or Amneal with respect to their shares of Common Stock of less than $3 million and the D-1 Holders receive aggregate cash distributions from the Company or Amneal of at least $13 million with respect to their Series D-1 Preferred, each of the D-1 Holders agrees to share proceeds with all holders of Common Stock to the extent that proceeds to such D-1 Holders are in excess of $6.5 million, until all holders of Common Stock have received proceeds from the Company, Amneal and the D-1 Holders equal to an aggregate of $3 million.
 
The Company is not a party to, nor obligated under, the Proceeds Sharing Agreement to make any payments to the holders of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock other than as otherwise provided under the terms of such capital stock.
 
ABSENCE OF DISSENTERS' RIGHTS
 
No dissenters' or appraisal rights are available to the stockholders under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Company’s certificate of incorporation or its bylaws in connection with the asset sale.
 
INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
 
No director, executive officer, or affiliate of the Company or any other person has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in any action covered by the related resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors, which is not shared by all other stockholders, except as follows:
 
1. Maganlal Sutaria, M.D., is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors and serves as our Chairman of the Board. Dr. Sutaria and his wife, Vimla Sutaria, are the holders of a Junior Subordinated Secured 12% Promissory Note due 2010, in the principal amount of $3 million (the “Sutaria Note”) which evidences a $3 million loan made them to the Company on November 7, 2007.

Ancillary Agreements
 
Restrictive Covenant Agreement
 
        It is a condition precedent to the closing of the asset sale that the Company and Interpharm, Inc. enter into a Restrictive Covenant Agreement (the "Noncompete Agreement"). Under the terms of the Noncompete Agreement, each of the Company and Interpharm, Inc. will agree that for a period of five years from the Closing Date of the asset purchase agreement, it shall not, without Amneal’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly (i) be Materially Interested in any business or activity which competes or endeavors to compete with the manufacture and sale of any of Products, (ii) in relation to any business or activity which is in competition with any of the Products, deal, negotiate or contract with any Client or Prospective Client, or canvass, solicit or endeavor to take away from the Buyer the business or custom of any Client or Prospective Client, or assist any third party to do so or (iii) endeavor to entice away from Amneal, or in any way seek to affect the terms of business on which Amneal deals with, any person who or which on the Closing Date of the asset purchase agreement or at any time during the 12 month period immediately preceding the Closing Date was an agent or distributor of any seller or a supplier of goods or services to any seller under the asset purchase agreement, or assist any third party to do so.
 
        For purposes of the Noncompete Agreement, “Materially Interested” is defined as being directly or indirectly employed, appointed or engaged by or in any manner concerned or interested whether as partner, shareholder, member or otherwise, save for the ownership for investment purposes only of not more than 1% or less of any class of publicly traded equity and “products” is defined as having the same definition as the term in the asset purchase agreement, namely, all products of the sellers approved, pending approval and in development by any seller, whether or not discontinued or previously marketed.
 
        In addition, under the Noncompete Agreement each of the Company and Interpharm, Inc. will agree that for a period of two years after the Closing Date of the asset purchase agreement, it shall not, without Amneal’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly, solicit or endeavor to entice away from Amneal, or employ or engage, any person who was on the Closing Date, or at any time during the 12 month period immediately preceding the Closing Date, a director or Employee (as such term is defined in the asset purchase agreement) of any seller and hired by Amneal on or after the Closing Date, or assist any third party to do so.

33
 
Loan and Security Agreement
 
Simultaneously with the execution of the asset purchase agreement Amneal and Interpharm, Inc. entered into a loan and security agreement (the “loan and security agreement”) providing for Amneal to make an initial loan to Interpharm Inc. of $500,000 and up to 4 additional loans of $250,000 each on the last business day of each of the four weeks after the initial loan is made. Interest on the outstanding principal of the loans made pursuant to the loan agreement accrues at the rate of 6% per annum. The loans are secured by a security interest, subordinate to the security interest held by Wells Fargo and the holders of certain subordinated notes of the Company, in the accounts, equipment, inventory, general tangibles and all other assets of Interpharm, Inc. and the proceeds of such collateral. The loans are repayable after the termination of the asset purchase agreement, but if the asset sale is consummated, the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the loans shall be credited against the purchase price for the asset sale and the loans shall then be deemed discharged.
 
Interpharm, Inc. shall have no obligation to repay the loans if the asset purchase agreement is terminated by the Company due to a failure to satisfy the closing conditions of the sellers and in certain other situations.
 
As of May___, 2008 Amneal had loaned an aggregate of $________ to Interpharm, Inc. under the loan agreement.

Proceeds Sharing Agreement

On May 1, 2008, Aisling Capital II, L.P. and Tullis-Dickerson Capital Focus III, L.P. (together, the "Series D-1 Holders"), Ravis Holdings I, LLC ("Ravis Holdings"), P&K Holdings, LLC ("P&K Holdings"), Dr. Maganlal K. Sutaria, Perry Sutaria, Raj Holdings I, LLC ("Raj Holdings", and together with Perry Sutaria, and Dr. Maganlal K. Sutaria, the "Series A-1 Holders", and the Series A-1 Holders together with the Series D-1 Holders, the "Preferred Holders"), Raj Sutaria, Ravi Sutari and Bhupatalal K. Sutaria, entered into an Amended and Restated Proceeds Sharing Agreement (the "Proceeds Sharing Agreement").
 
As a condition to entering into the Proceeds Sharing Agreement, each of the Majority Stockholders executed and delivered to the Company a signed written consent of stockholders approving the asset purchase agreement and the asset sale. In the Proceeds Sharing Agreement the Majority Stockholders also agreed to refrain from exercising any dissenter rights or rights of appraisal under applicable law with respect to the asset sale and vote in favor of the asset sale at any regular or special meeting of stockholders (or vote by written consent). In addition, under the Proceeds Sharing Agreement, each of the Series D-1 Holders agreed, severally and not jointly, that, if, as a result of the asset sale, it receives distributions from the Company based on its holdings of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock in excess of $6,500,000 (the “Excess Amount”), such Series D-1 Holder shall direct the Company to distribute or shall itself distribute, the Excess Amount to all holders of the Common Stock on a pro rata basis; provided, that, the Excess Amount distributed to the holders of Common Stock may not exceed $3,000,000.

34

Pursuant to the Proceeds Sharing Agreement, the Preferred Holders agreed, severally and not jointly, that, if, as a result of the asset sale, the Series D-1 Holders receive distributions from the Company based on their holdings of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock in excess of $2,000,000, each Preferred Holder shall pay to Bhupatlal K. Sutaria such Preferred Holder’s pro rata share of $850,000, except that if Bhupatlal K. Sutaria receives aggregate proceeds with respect to his shares of common stock in an amount greater than $250,000, then any such excess amount shall reduce, dollar for dollar, the aggregate amount of $850,000 payable to him as described earlier in this sentence.

The Preferred Holders agreed, severally and not jointly, that, if, as a result of the asset sale, the Series D-1 Holders receive distributions from the Company based on their holdings of the Series D-1 Preferred Stock in excess of $2,000,000, each Preferred Holder shall pay to Raj Sutaria such Preferred Holder’s pro rata share of $350,000, except that if Raj Sutaria receives aggregate proceeds with respect to his shares of common stock in an amount greater than $200,000, then any such excess amount shall reduce, dollar for dollar, the aggregate amount of $350,000 payable to him as described earlier in this sentence.
 
GOVERNMENTAL AND REGULATORY MATTERS
 
    Except with respect to the expiration of the 20-calendar day period from the dissemination of this Information Statement to the Company’s stockholders until the asset sale may be consummated, the parties are not aware of any governmental or regulatory approvals required in connection with the consummation of the asset sale.
 
CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
 
The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to the Company upon the asset sale. The discussion does not cover all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation and does not address state, local, foreign or other tax laws. The summary is based on the tax laws of the United States, including the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations thereunder, published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect and all subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect.
 
The asset sale does not generate any U.S. federal income tax consequences to the stockholders of the Company. The Company, on the other hand, will recognize gain or loss on the sale of its assets to Amneal. The Company’s gain or loss with respect to each asset sold will equal the difference between the portion of the purchase price allocable to that asset and the Company’s basis in that asset. The amount of purchase price generally allocated to each asset will be determined based on the fair market value of that particular asset.
 
Any ordinary income or capital gain recognized for federal income tax purposes may be offset by any available capital loss carryforwards. At December 31, 2007 the Company has remaining Federal net operating losses of $44,053,000 available through 2027. We believe that these net operating losses will be sufficient to offset any gains realized upon consummation of the asset sale.
 
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT OF THE ASSET SALE
 
           The asset sale will be accounted for as a sale of assets transaction. At the closing of the asset sale, any excess in the purchase price received by the Company, less transaction expenses, if any, over the net book value of the net assets sold will be recognized as a gain.
 
STOCKHOLDER CONSENT TO THE ASSET SALE
 
           Under Section 228 of the Delaware Law, unless otherwise provided in a corporation's certificate of incorporation, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, or any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a written consent to that action is signed by stockholders having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take that action at a meeting at which all shares were present and vote.
 
    As of May 2, 2008, there were (i) 66,738,426 shares of our Common Stock, (ii) 277,000 shares of Series C Preferred, (iii) 4,855,389 shares of Series A-1 Preferred and (iv) 20,825 shares of Series D-1 Preferred issued and outstanding. Under Delaware Law and the terms of our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended and as currently in effect, the asset sale requires the approval of the majority of the outstanding Common Stock and Voting Preferred Stock voting together as a single class. The holders of the Common Stock and Series C Preferred have one vote per share. The holders of Series D-1 have one vote per share of Common Stock into which such holders’ shares of D-1 Preferred are then convertible. The shares of Series D-1 Preferred outstanding as of May 2, 2008 are convertible into 21,052,632 shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, the approval of holders of  shares of Common Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Preferred Stock entitled to cast 44,034,030 votes, voting together as a single class, is required to approve the asset sale. The Majority Stockholders, constituting the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Stock and Voting Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, have executed written consents approving the asset purchase agreement and the real estate contract and approving the transactions contemplated by each of those agreements in accordance with Section 228 of Delaware Law.

35

Accordingly, in accordance with Delaware Law and the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as amended and currently in effect, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and Voting Preferred Stock, voting as a single class, have approved the asset sale and the asset purchase agreement. The actions by written consent are sufficient to approve the sale and the other transactions contemplated by the asset purchase agreement and the real estate contract without any further action or vote of the stockholders of the Company. Accordingly, no other actions are necessary to approve the asset sale, and no such actions are being requested. The members of Amneal and Kashiv are not required to approve the asset sale.
 
         Pursuant to Section 228 of the Delaware Law, the Company is delivering the accompanying notice of the stockholders' consent to all holders of the Company’s common stock as of May 2, 2008 who did not participate in the action by written consent.
 
FINANCING OF THE ASSET SALE
 
        The asset sale is not conditioned on any financing arrangements by Amneal and the consideration to be received by the Company at the closing will be immediately available funds.
 
OPINION OF HOULIHAN LOKEY

On May 7, 2008, Houlihan Lokey rendered a written opinion to the Board of Directors, to the effect that, as of May 7, 2008 and based upon and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken and other matters considered by Houlihan Lokey in preparing its opinion, the consideration to be received by the sellers in the asset sale was fair, from a financial point of view, to the sellers.
 
Houlihan Lokey’s opinion was directed to the Board of Directors and only addressed the fairness from a financial point of view of the consideration to be received by the sellers in the asset sale and does not address any other aspect or implication of the asset sale. The summary of Houlihan Lokey’s opinion in this information statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of its written opinion, which is included as Annex C to this information statement and sets forth the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken and other matters considered by Houlihan Lokey in preparing its opinion. We encourage our stockholders to read carefully the full text of Houlihan Lokey’s written opinion. However, neither Houlihan Lokey’s opinion nor the summary of its opinion and the related analyses set forth in this information are intended to be, and do not constitute advice or a recommendation to the Board of Directors or any stockholder as to how to act with respect to the asset sale or related matters.
 
In arriving at its opinion, Houlihan Lokey, among other things:
 
 
·
reviewed the following agreements and documents:
 
– the original asset purchase agreement;
 
– the first amendment;
 
– the real estate contract;
 
 
·
reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information relating to the Company that Houlihan Lokey deemed to be relevant;
 
 
·
reviewed certain information relating to the current and future operations, financial condition and prospects of the Company made available to Houlihan Lokey by the Company, including (a) financial projections for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009, prepared by the management of the Company, relating to the Company as a going concern, (b) cash flow projections for the thirteen week period ending June 20, 2008 (together, the “Projections”) and (c) a liquidation analysis prepared by the management of the Company (the “Liquidation Analysis”);
 
36
 
 
·
spoke with certain members of the management of the Company regarding the business, operations, financial condition and prospects of the Company, the asset sale and related matters, including management’s views of the operational and financial risks and uncertainties attendant with not pursuing the asset sale;
 
 
·
reviewed the current and historical market prices and trading volume for Company Common Stock;
 
 
·
reviewed a certificate addressed to Houlihan Lokey from senior management of the Company which contained, among other things, representations regarding the accuracy of the information, data and other materials (financial or otherwise) provided to Houlihan Lokey by or on behalf of the Company; and
 
 
·
conducted such other financial studies, analyses and inquiries and considered such other information and factors as Houlihan Lokey deemed appropriate.
 
Houlihan Lokey relied upon and assumed, without independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of all data, material and other information furnished, or otherwise made available to it, or that it discussed or reviewed, or that was publicly available, and did not assume any responsibility with respect to such data, material and other information. In addition, management of the Company advised Houlihan Lokey, and Houlihan Lokey assumed, that the Projections and Liquidation Analysis reviewed by Houlihan Lokey were reasonably prepared in good faith on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of management as to the future financial results and condition of the Company (or the future results of any liquidation thereof) and Houlihan Lokey expressed no opinion with respect to such projections, analysis or the assumptions on which they are based. Houlihan Lokey noted that the Projections and Liquidation Analysis are subject to significant uncertainty, particularly in light of the Company’s recent financial performance, current financial condition, current and prospective access to capital, current and prospective liquidity and unfavorable future prospects. In this regard, Houlihan Lokey relied upon and assumed that the Company is unable to obtain financing in an amount or on terms that will allow the Company to continue as a going concern and therefore, absent the asset sale, the Company will have no alternative other than to seek protection under U.S. bankruptcy laws, which would likely result in a liquidation of the Company. Houlihan Lokey relied upon and assumed, without independent verification, that there had been no material change in the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects of the Company since the date of the most recent financial statements provided to Houlihan Lokey, and that there was no information or any facts that would make any of the information reviewed by Houlihan Lokey incomplete or misleading. Houlihan Lokey did not consider any aspect or implication of any transaction to which the Company or any of its security holders may be a party (other than as specifically described in its opinion with respect to the asset sale).
 
Houlihan Lokey relied upon and assumed, without independent verification, that (a) the representations and warranties of all parties to the agreements listed above and all other related documents and instruments that are referred to those agreements are true and correct, (b) each party to all such agreements and other related documents and instruments will fully and timely perform all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by such party, (c) all conditions to the consummation of the asset sale will be satisfied without waiver thereof, and (d) the asset sale will be consummated in a timely manner in accordance with the terms described in the agreements and documents provided to Houlihan Lokey, without any amendments or modifications. Houlihan Lokey also relied upon and assumed, without independent verification, that (i) the asset sale will be consummated in a manner that complies in all respects with all applicable federal and state statutes, rules and regulations, and (ii) all governmental, regulatory, and other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the asset sale will be obtained and that no delay, limitations, restrictions or conditions will be imposed or amendments, modifications or waivers made that would result in an adverse effect on the amount or timing of receipt of the consideration. The Company informed Houlihan Lokey that (i) it has very little or no unrestricted cash on hand, (ii) financial projections that represent the best currently available estimates and judgments of the Company management as to the future financial results and operations of the Company exist only through June 30, 2009, and (iii) as referred to above, the Company was unable to obtain financing sufficient to continue as a going concern. As a result, in reaching the conclusion in its opinion, Houlihan Lokey did not perform a discounted cash flow analysis. In addition, Houlihan Lokey reviewed data regarding publicly traded companies in the same industry as the Company and recent change of control transactions involving companies in the same industry as the Company. However, because of (i) the Company’s lack of financing, (ii) the lack of publicly traded companies in the same industry as the Company facing similar going concern issues, and (iii) the lack of recent change of control transactions involving companies in the same industry as the Company facing similar going concern issues, Houlihan Lokey did not rely, in whole or in part, on either a comparable public companies analysis or a comparable mergers and acquisitions transaction analysis in reaching the conclusion set forth in its opinion.

37

Furthermore, in connection with its opinion, Houlihan Lokey was not requested to make, and did not make, any physical inspection or independent appraisal or evaluation of any of the assets, properties or liabilities (fixed, contingent, derivative, off-balance-sheet or otherwise) of any of the sellers or any other party, nor was Houlihan Lokey provided with any such appraisal or evaluation, other than (a) the Liquidation Analysis, and (b) certain appraisals relating to the Real Property and the machinery and equipment of the sellers (collectively, the “Appraisals”). Houlihan Lokey relied upon and assumed, without independent verification, the accuracy of the conclusions set forth in the Liquidation Analysis and the Appraisals, and assumed that the assumptions, estimates and conclusions contained in the Liquidation Analysis accurately reflect the outcome of an orderly liquidation of the sellers’ assets. Houlihan Lokey is not a real estate, machinery or equipment appraisal firm, and did not express any opinion with respect to such subject matter. If the conclusions set forth in the Appraisals and the Liquidation Analysis are not accurate, the conclusion set forth in the Houlihan Lokey opinion could be materially affected. Houlihan Lokey did not estimate, and expressed no opinion regarding, the liquidation value of any entity or asset. Houlihan Lokey noted, however, that the Liquidation Analysis reflects the belief of management of the Company that the liquidation value of the Company’s assets is substantially lower that the amount of the consideration. Houlihan Lokey did not undertake any independent analysis of any potential or actual litigation, regulatory action, possible unasserted claims or other contingent liabilities, to which the Company is or may be a party or is or may be subject, or of any governmental investigation of any possible unasserted claims or other contingent liabilities to which any of the sellers is or may be a party or is or may be subject. Houlihan Lokey assumed, with the Company’s consent, that the consideration will not be reduced pursuant to Schedule 2.3(c) of the asset purchase agreement by more than $5 million as a result of any liability assumed by the buyers related to pending litigation.
 
Houlihan Lokey was not requested to, and did not, (a) initiate or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, or solicit any indications of interest from, third parties with respect to the asset sale, the assets, businesses or operations of any of the sellers, or any alternatives to the asset sale, (b) negotiate the terms of the asset sale, or (c) advise the Board of Directors or any other party with respect to alternatives to the asset sale. In reaching its conclusion, Houlihan Lokey considered the status of the Company’s ongoing negotiations with its lenders with respect to the Company’s defaults on the covenants of its credit facilities and Houlihan Lokey’s discussions with Company management as to the Company’s financing alternatives and recent efforts to raise additional capital and seek other strategic alternatives, including a potential sale of the Company and/or its assets. The opinion was necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to Houlihan Lokey as of, the date of the opinion. Houlihan Lokey did not undertake, and is under no obligation, to update, revise, reaffirm or withdraw this opinion, or otherwise comment on or consider events occurring after May 7, 2008.
 
Houlihan Lokey’s opinion was furnished for the use and benefit of the Board of Directors in connection with the exercise of its fiduciary duties, and may not be relied on by any other person or used for any other purpose without Houlihan Lokey’s prior written consent. The opinion should not be construed as creating any fiduciary duty on the part of Houlihan Lokey to any party. The opinion was not intended to be, and does not constitute, a recommendation to the Board of Directors, any security holder or any other person as to how to act with respect to any matter relating to the asset sale.
 
Houlihan Lokey was not requested to opine as to, and the opinion does not express an opinion as to or otherwise address: (i) the underlying business decision of any of the sellers, their respective security holders or any other party to proceed with or effect the asset sale, (ii) the terms of any arrangements, understandings, agreements or documents related to, or the form or any other portion or aspect of, the asset sale or otherwise (other than the consideration to the extent expressly specified in the opinion), including the terms of the Proceeds Sharing Agreement, (iii) the fairness of any portion or aspect of the asset sale to the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of any of the sellers, or to any other party, including the terms of the Proceeds Sharing Agreement, except as set forth in the opinion, (iv) the relative merits of the asset sale as compared to any alternative business strategies that might exist for any of the sellers or any other party or the effect of any other transaction in which any of the sellers or any other party might engage, (v) the fairness of any portion or aspect of the asset sale to any one class or group of any of the sellers’ or any other party’s security holders vis-à-vis any other class or group of any of the sellers’ or such other party’s security holders (including without limitation (a) the allocation of any consideration amongst or within such classes or groups of security holders, whether pursuant to the Proceeds Sharing Agreement, or otherwise, (b) the allocation of the consideration amongst the sellers, or (c) the allocation of the consideration amongst the assets purchased in the asset sale), (vi) whether or not any of the sellers, their respective security holders or any other party is receiving or paying reasonably equivalent value in the asset sale, (vii) the solvency, creditworthiness or fair value of any of the sellers or any other participant in the asset sale under any applicable laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar matters, or (viii) the fairness, financial or otherwise, of the amount or nature of any compensation to or consideration payable to or received by any officers, directors or employees of any party to the asset sale, any class of such persons or any other party, relative to the consideration or otherwise. Furthermore, no opinion, counsel or interpretation was intended by Houlihan Lokey in matters that require legal, regulatory, accounting, insurance, tax or other similar professional advice. Houlihan Lokey assumed that such opinions, counsel or interpretations have been or will be obtained from the appropriate professional sources. Furthermore, Houlihan Lokey relied, with the Company’s consent, on the assessment by the Company and its advisers, as to all legal, regulatory, accounting, insurance and tax matters with respect to the sellers and the asset sale.

In preparing its opinion to the Board of Directors, Houlihan Lokey performed a variety of analyses, including those described below. The summary of Houlihan Lokey’s analyses is not a complete description of the analyses underlying Houlihan Lokey’s opinion. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process involving various quantitative and qualitative judgments and determinations with respect to the financial, comparative and other analytical methods employed and the adaptation and application of these methods to the unique facts and circumstances presented. As a consequence, neither a fairness opinion nor its underlying analyses is readily susceptible to summary description. Houlihan Lokey arrived at its opinion based on the results of all analyses undertaken by it and assessed as a whole and did not draw, in isolation, conclusions from or with regard to any individual analysis, methodology or factor. Accordingly, Houlihan Lokey believes that its analyses and the following summary must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses, methodologies and factors or focusing on information presented in tabular format, without considering all analyses, methodologies and factors or the narrative description of the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the processes underlying Houlihan Lokey’s analyses and opinion. Each analytical technique has inherent strengths and weaknesses, and the nature of the available information may further affect the value of particular techniques.
 
In performing its analyses, Houlihan Lokey considered general business, economic, industry and market conditions, financial and otherwise, and other matters as they existed on, and could be evaluated as of, the date of the opinion. Houlihan Lokey’s analyses involved judgments and assumptions with regard to industry performance, general business, economic, regulatory, market and financial conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, such as the impact of competition on the business of the Company and on the industry generally, industry growth and the absence of any adverse material change in the financial condition and prospects of the Company or the industry or in the markets generally. No company, transaction or business used in Houlihan Lokey’s analyses for comparative purposes is identical to the Company or the proposed asset sale and an evaluation of the results of those analyses is not entirely mathematical. Houlihan Lokey believes that mathematical derivations (such as determining average and median) of financial data are not by themselves meaningful and should be considered together with qualities, judgments and informed assumptions. While the results of each analysis were taken into account in reaching its overall conclusion with respect to fairness, Houlihan Lokey did not make separate or quantifiable judgments regarding individual analyses. The estimates contained in the Company’s analyses and the sensitivity reference range indicated by Houlihan Lokey’s analyses are not necessarily indicative of actual values or predictive of future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by the analyses. In addition, any analyses relating to the value of assets, businesses or securities do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices at which businesses or securities actually may be sold, which may depend on a variety of factors, many of which are beyond the control of our company. Much of the information used in, and accordingly the results of, Houlihan Lokey’s analyses are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty.
 
Neither Houlihan Lokey’s opinion nor its analyses were determinative of the consideration or of the views of the Board of Directors or management with respect to the asset sale. The type and amount of consideration payable in the asset sale were determined through negotiation between the Company and Amneal, and the decision to enter into the asset sale was solely that of the Board of Directors.

The following is a summary of the material analyses performed by Houlihan Lokey in connection with Houlihan Lokey’s opinion rendered on May 7, 2008. The order of the analyses does not represent relative importance or weight given to those analyses by Houlihan Lokey. The analyses summarized below include information presented in tabular format. The tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the analyses. Considering the data in the tables below without considering the full narrative description of the analyses, as well as the methodologies underlying, and the assumptions, qualifications and limitations affecting, each analysis, could create a misleading or incomplete view of Houlihan Lokey’s analyses.
 
 
Review of Solicitation Process and Situational Factors
 
 
·
Houlihan Lokey reviewed its understanding as to the solicitation process undertaken by the Company in exploring third party interest in a refinancing transaction, a capital infusion transaction and a strategic acquisition of the Company.
 
 
·
Starting in January 2008, the Company approached 29 lenders regarding a refinancing of its Wells Fargo credit facilities, six private equity firms regarding a capital infusion and 13 strategic buyers regarding a sale of the Company.
 
–
Five of 29 lenders contacted expressed initial interest in refinancing the Wells Fargo facilities, but all lenders subsequently declined to pursue a refinancing.
 
–
Two of the six private equity firms contacted expressed interest regarding a capital infusion. Terms discussed with one of the firms were unacceptable to existing holders of Company preferred stock; other firm subsequently declined to pursue a capital infusion.
 
–
Four of 13 strategic buyers contacted expressed initial interest regarding a sale of the business and the Company entered negotiations with the highest bidder, Amneal.
 
 
·
Without the emergency working capital from Amneal, the Company would have been forced to declare bankruptcy within two weeks.
 
–
If the Company is unable to consummate the asset sale with the Amneal, the Company will likely have no alternative other than to seek protection under the U.S. bankruptcy laws, which will likely result in a liquidation of the Company.
 
Review of Financial Analysis
 
Hypothetical Liquidation Analysis-Company Case. Houlihan Lokey reviewed a hypothetical liquidation analysis for the Company prepared by the Company, which was based in part on the Company’s balance sheet as of March 31, 2008 (except for accounts receivable) and various assumed realization values. The Company’s assumed recovery values are set forth below:

Hypothetical Liquidation Analysis-Sensitivity Case. Houlihan Lokey also sensitized the Company’s liquidation analysis described above to account for more aggressive recovery assumptions regarding accounts receivables, inventory, real estate and certain machinery and equipment. This analysis indicated that in such events the high end of the recovery range for the Company’s assets was approximately 25% below the estimated proceeds from the transaction.

Selected Companies Analysis. Houlihan Lokey did not rely in whole or in part, on a comparable public companies analysis in reaching the conclusion set forth in its opinion because of the Company’s lack of ability to obtain financing and the lack of publicly traded companies in the same industry as the Company facing similar going concern issues.
 
Selected Transactions Analysis. Houlihan Lokey did not rely, in whole or in part, on a comparable mergers and acquisitions transactions analysis is reaching the conclusion set forth in its opinion because of the Company’s lack of ability to obtain financing and the lack of recent change of control transactions involving companies in the same industry as the Company facing similar going concern issues.
 
Discounted Cash Flow Analysis. For the reasons discussed above, Houlihan Lokey did not perform a discounted cash flow analysis.
 
Other Matters
 
Houlihan Lokey was engaged by the Company to provide an opinion to the Board of Directors regarding the fairness from a financial point of view of the consideration to be received by the sellers in the asset sale. We engaged Houlihan Lokey based on Houlihan Lokey’s experience and reputation. Houlihan Lokey is regularly engaged to render financial opinions in connection with mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, and for other purposes. Pursuant to the engagement letter, the Company paid Houlihan Lokey a customary fee for its services, a portion of which became payable upon the execution of Houlihan Lokey’s engagement letter and the balance of which became payable upon the delivery of Houlihan Lokey’s opinion, regardless of the conclusion reached therein. No portion of Houlihan Lokey’s fee is contingent upon the successful completion of the asset sale. The Company has also agreed to reimburse Houlihan Lokey for certain expenses and to indemnify Houlihan Lokey, its affiliates and certain related parties against certain liabilities and expenses, including certain liabilities under the federal securities laws arising out of or relating to Houlihan Lokey’s engagement.

The Company has agreed to reimburse certain of Houlihan Lokey’s expenses and to indemnify Houlihan Lokey and certain related parties for certain liabilities arising out of its engagement.

Such determination and adjustment shall be final and binding on all parties, and no further adjustments based on Section 2.6(a)(v) above shall be made pursuant to Section 2.6(c) below.
 
(c) Adjustment Process.
 
(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 2.6(c), the terms “Cash Amount Adjustments” and “Closing Cash Amount” shall be deemed to exclude the adjustments under Section 2.6(a)(v), which shall instead be determined in accordance with Section 2.6(b) above and adjusted at the Closing.
 
(ii) On or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, Company shall deliver to Buyer a written statement (the “Preliminary Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation by Company of the Closing Cash Amount, the Cash Amount Adjustments and the computations used in connection therewith.

A-17
 
(iii) In the event Buyer disagrees with the Closing Cash Amount or the Cash Amount Adjustments reflected on the Preliminary Statement, Buyer shall notify Company of such disagreement within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof (the “Buyer Disagreement Notice”), such Buyer Disagreement Notice to include the amount Buyer believes to be the correct Closing Cash Amount and/or Cash Amount Adjustments, as the case may be. If the Buyer Disagreement Notice is not received by Company within such two Business Day period, the Closing Cash Amount and the Cash Amount Adjustments included in the Preliminary Statement shall be used in order to determine the Purchase Price paid at Closing.
 
(iv) If a Buyer Disagreement Notice which disputes the Closing Cash Amount or the Cash Amount Adjustments included in the Preliminary Statement is received by Company within such two (2) Business Day period, then:
 
(x) the Closing Cash Amount used in order to determine the Purchase Price paid at Closing shall be the lower of: (A) the Closing Cash Amount included in the Preliminary Statement; and (B) the Closing Cash Amount included in the Buyer Disagreement Notice; and
 
(y) within thirty (30) days after the Closing, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Company a written statement (the “Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail its calculation of Closing Cash Amount and the Cash Amount Adjustments. 
 
(v) During the ten (10) day period following the receipt by Company of the Statement, Company and their Representatives shall be permitted to review during normal business hours and make copies reasonably required of (x) the working papers of Buyer, Company and, if relevant, its independent auditors relating to the preparation of the Statement and (y) any supporting schedules, supporting analyses and other supporting documentation relating to the preparation of the Statement. The Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties on the tenth (10th) day following delivery thereof, except to the extent that Company gives written notice of disagreement with the Statement (the “Company Disagreement Notice”) to Buyer prior to such date. Any Company Disagreement Notice shall (A) specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted (any such disagreement to be limited to whether such calculation of Closing Cash Amount and the Cash Amount Adjustments are mathematically correct and/or have been prepared in accordance with the definition of the Closing Cash Amount and the Cash Amount Adjustments, and the definitions included in such definitions) and (B) if independent auditors are engaged by Company in connection with the preparation of the Company Disagreement Notice, be accompanied by a certificate of the independent auditors of Company that they concur with each of the positions taken by Company in the Company Disagreement Notice. If a Company Disagreement Notice complying with the preceding sentence is received by Buyer in a timely manner, then the Statement (as revised in accordance with clause (I) or (II) below) shall become final and binding upon the parties on the earlier of (I) the date Buyer and Company resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Company Disagreement Notice or (II) the date any disputed matters are finally resolved in writing by the Accounting Firm (as defined below).
 
A-18
 
(vi) During the fifteen (15) day period following the delivery of a Company Disagreement Notice that complies with the preceding paragraph, Buyer and Company shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences which they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Company Disagreement Notice. During such period, Buyer and its independent auditors shall be permitted to review and make copies reasonably required of (i) the working papers of Company and, if relevant, the designated independent auditors (if any) of Company relating to the preparation of the Company Disagreement Notice and (ii) any supporting schedules, supporting analyses and other supporting documentation relating to the preparation of the Company Disagreement Notice.
 
(vii) If, at the end of such fifteen (15) day period, the differences as specified in the Company Disagreement Notice are not resolved, Company and Buyer shall within ten (10) days following the end of such fifteen (15) day period engage a nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually and reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Company (the “Accounting Firm”) and submit to the Accounting Firm for review and resolution of any and all matters which remain in dispute and which are properly included in the Company Disagreement Notice. In acting hereunder, the Accounting Firm shall be acting as accounting experts and not as arbitrators. In resolving any disputed item, the Accounting Firm shall: (i) be bound by the provisions of this Section 2.6 and the definitions of Closing Cash Amount and Cash Amount Adjustments and the definitions included in such definitions; and (ii) limit its review to matters still in dispute as specifically set forth in the Company Disagreement Notice (and only to the extent such matters are still in dispute following such fifteen (15) day period). The Accounting Firm’s determination of any item that is a component of Closing Cash Amount or Cash Amount Adjustments and is the subject of a dispute cannot, however, be in excess of, or less than, the greatest or lowest value, respectively, claimed for any particular item in the Statement or the Company Disagreement Notice (or, if different, the value claimed by the relevant party at the end of such fifteen (15) day period). Company and Buyer shall each use their reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to render a decision resolving the matters in dispute within thirty (30) days following the submission of such matters to the Accounting Firm. Company and Buyer agree that judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced.

(viii) Except as specified in the following sentence, the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in connection with the Accounting Firm’s determination of Closing Cash Amount or Cash Amount Adjustments pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be borne, in its entirety, by the party whose calculation of the Closing Cash Amount as initially submitted to the Accounting Firm is furthest away from the Closing Cash Amount as determined by the Accounting Firm. The fees and expenses of Buyer’s independent auditors (if any) incurred in connection with the issuance of the Statement and review of the Company Disagreement Notice, if any, shall be borne by Buyer, and the fees and expenses of the independent auditors of Company incurred in connection with their review of the Statement and their preparation of the Company Disagreement Notice, if any, shall be borne by Company.
 
(ix) If the Closing Cash Amount as determined by the Accounting Firm is greater than the Closing Cash Amount used in order to determine the Purchase Price paid at Closing, Buyer shall, within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Closing Cash Amount and Cash Amount Adjustments, make payment to Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, of the amount of such excess. If the Closing Cash Amount as determined by the Accounting Firm is less than the Closing Cash Amount used in order to determine the Purchase Price paid at Closing, Company shall, within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Closing Cash Amount and Cash Amount Adjustments, make payment to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, of the amount of such shortfall. Buyer and Company agree that the amount of any payment to be made pursuant to this Section 2.6(c)(viii) shall bear interest from (and including) the Closing Date to (but excluding) the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the “prime rate” of interest in effect at Wells Fargo on the Closing Date. Such interest shall be payable at the same time as the payment to which it relates and shall be calculated daily, on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days elapsed, and compounded annually.
 
(x) Any payment required to be made under this Section 2.6 shall be deemed an adjustment to the Purchase Price.
 
2.7 Allocation of Consideration Among Acquired Assets. Buyer and Sellers shall file all income tax returns or reports, including without limitation, IRS Form 8594, for their respective taxable years in which the Closing occurs to reflect an allocation of the Consideration among the Acquired Assets in a manner consistent with the allocations set forth on Schedule 2.7 and Buyer and Sellers shall not take any position inconsistent therewith before any Governmental Authority charged with the collection of taxes or in any judicial proceedings relating to such tax reporting.
