ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Assured
Pharmacy, Inc. (“Assured Pharmacy” or the “Company”) was organized as a Nevada
corporation on October 22, 1999 under the name Surforama.com, Inc. and
previously operated under the name eRXSYS, Inc. The
Company is engaged in
the
business of operating specialty pharmacies that dispense highly regulated
pain
medication. The Company has recently expanded its business beyond pain
management to service customers that require prescriptions to treat cancer,
psychiatric,
and neurological conditions.
The
Company offers physicians the ability to electronically transmit prescriptions
to its pharmacies. The Company derives its revenue primarily from the sale
of
prescription drugs and does not keep in inventory non-prescription drugs
or
health and beauty related products inventoried at traditional pharmacies.
The
majority of the Company’s business is derived from repeat business from its
customers. “Walk-in” prescriptions from physicians are limited.
In
April
2003, Assured Pharmacy entered into a joint venture agreement (“Joint Venture”)
with TPG Partners, L.L.C. (“TPG”) to establish and operate pharmacies. In June
2003, Safescript of California, Inc. (“Safescript”) was incorporated to own and
operate pharmacies that the parties may jointly establish under the Joint
Venture. Assured Pharmacy owns 51% of the Joint Venture with TPG owning the
remaining 49%. Effective September 8, 2004, Safescript filed amended articles
of
incorporation and changed its name to Assured Pharmacies, Inc. (“API”).
Pursuant
to the terms of the Joint Venture, TPG is obligated to contribute start-up
costs
of $230,000 per pharmacy location to establish up to fifty pharmacies. TPG
is
also obligated to contribute their proportionate share of the start-up costs
in
excess of their initial capital contribution of $230,000 per pharmacy. The
Joint
Venture defines start-up costs as any costs associated with the opening of
any
open pharmacy location that accrue within the ninety-day period following
the
opening of that particular pharmacy. TPG is obligated to contribute additional
monies to satisfy its proportionate share of the start-up costs in excess
of
their initial capital contribution, but the amount is being disputed by TPG.
The
Company and TPG are currently negotiating to resolve this dispute.

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
In
February 2004, Assured Pharmacy entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with
TAPG, L.L.C. ("TAPG"), a Louisiana limited liability company, and formed
Safescript Northwest, Inc., a Louisiana corporation, to establish and operate
pharmacies. Effective August 19, 2004, Safescript Northwest, Inc. changed
its
name to Assured Pharmacies Northwest, Inc. ("APN").
The
Agreement provides that TAPG will contribute start-up costs in the amount
of
$335,000 per pharmacy location established not to exceed five pharmacies.
Assured Pharmacy, Inc.’s contribution under the Agreement consists of granting
the right to utilize its intellectual property rights and to provide sales
and
marketing services. Between March and October 2004, APN received from TAPG
start-up funds in the amount of $854,213 as its capital contribution for
three
pharmacies. This capital contribution funded the opening of two pharmacies
in
Kirkland, Washington in August 2004 and Portland, Oregon in September 2004.
Included in these monies was a partial capital contribution in the amount
of
$190,000 for the establishment of another pharmacy located in Portland, Oregon.
TAPG remains obligated to contribute an additional $145,000 to satisfy their
full contribution. Assured Pharmacy, Inc. and APN requested that TAPG provide
the $150,787 balance of its full capital contribution. TAPG is also obligated
to
contribute their proportionate share of the start-up costs in excess of their
initial capital contribution of $335,000 per pharmacy. The Agreement defines
start-up costs as any costs associated with the opening of any open pharmacy
location that accrue within one hundred eighty days following the opening
of
that particular pharmacy. As of September 30, 2006, TAPG is obligated to
contribute an additional $22,219 together with interest in the amount of $7,515
to satisfy its proportionate share of the start-up costs in excess of their
initial capital contribution.
Following
the start-up period, Assured Pharmacy advanced interest-free loans to sustain
operations at both pharmacies operated by APN. On March 6, 2006, these loans
were converted into 378 shares of APN capital stock. Following the conversion
of
this debt into equity, Assured Pharmacy increased their ownership interest
in
APN from 75% to 94.8%. TAPG owns the remaining 5.2% interest.
The
Company’s common stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the
“OTCBB”) under the symbol “APHY.”

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)
The
Company's management determined that its business could be expanded through
developing arrangements with third party health plan providers to accept
traditional co-payments and fill prescriptions for their members who rely
upon
overnight courier for delivery of their prescription. The Company's management
believes that such arrangements will broaden its consumer base and enable
it to
access a particular niche of consumer that receives their prescriptions
exclusively via courier as opposed to patronizing traditional retail pharmacy
locations. On January 3, 2006, the Company incorporated Assured Pharmacy
Plus, Corp. (“Plus Corp.”) as a wholly-owned subsidiary to develop this
opportunity.
Also
on
January 3, 2006, the Company incorporated Assured Pharmacy DME, Corp. (“DME”) as
a wholly-owned subsidiary for the purpose of facilitating and making available
specialized medical equipment to its consumers. The Company's consumers who
require treatment for chronic pain commonly require specialized medical
equipment and/or rehabilitative equipment.
During
the third quarter, the Company has incorporated three wholly-owned subsidiaries
for the purpose of operating additional pharmacies. On July 21, 2006, the

Basis
of Presentation
The
Company’s management, without audit, prepared the condensed consolidated
financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006
and
2005. The information furnished has been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for
interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain disclosures normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed
and
consolidated or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's financial
position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and (except
as
described in Note 3) are only of a normal recurring nature. The results of
operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the year ending December
31, 2006.
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Assured Pharmacy,
Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and majority-owned subsidiaries. All
inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
These
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction

Company's
audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2005, which
are
included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB that was filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2006.
Going
Concern Considerations
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates,
among
other things,
the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary
course
of business. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had an accumulated deficit
of
$18,378,520, recurring losses from operations and negative cash flow from
operating activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 of
$3,144,983. The Company also had a negative working capital of $ 723,817
as of
September 30, 2006.
The
Company intends to fund operations through increased sales and debt and/or
equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital
expenditures, working capital or other cash requirements for the year ending
December 31, 2006. The Company is seeking additional funds to finance its
immediate and long-term operations. The successful outcome of future financing
activities cannot be determined at this
time
and there is no assurance that if achieved, the Company will have sufficient
funds to execute its intended business plan or generate positive operating
results.
These
factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments related to recoverability and
classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification
of
liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as
a
going concern.
In
response to these problems, management has taken the following actions:
| · |
The
Company is expanding its
revenue base beyond the pain management sector to service customers
that
require prescriptions to treat cancer, psychiatric, and neurological
conditions.
|
| · |
The
Company is aggressively signing up new physicians, which will result
in
new patients.
|
| · |
The
Company is seeking investment capital through the public markets
(See Note
for additional information).
|
| · |
The
Company implemented
a new marketing strategy and retained additional sales personnel
to
attract business.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Inventories
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or estimated market,
and
consist primarily of pharmaceutical drugs. Market is determined by comparison
with recent sales or net realizable value. Net realizable value is based
on
management’s forecast for sales of its products or services in the ensuing years
and/or consideration and analysis of changes in customer base, product mix,
payor mix, third party insurance reimbursement levels or other issues that
may
impact the estimated net realizable value. Management regularly reviews
inventory quantities on hand and records a reserve for shrinkage and
slow-moving, damaged and expired inventory, which is measured as the difference
between the inventory cost and the estimated market value based on management’s
assumptions about market conditions and future demand for its products. At
September 30, 2006, such reserves were insignificant to the accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements. Should the demand for the Company's
products prove to be less than anticipated, the ultimate net realizable value
of
its inventories could be substantially less than reflected in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet.
Inventories
are comprised of brand and generic pharmaceutical drugs. Brand drugs are
purchased primarily from one wholesale vendor and generic drugs are purchased
primarily from another wholesale vendor. The Company's pharmacies maintain
a
wide variety of different drug classes, known as Schedule II, Schedule III,
and
Schedule IV drugs, which vary in degrees of addictiveness.
Schedule
II drugs, considered narcotics by the DEA are the most addictive; hence,
they
are highly regulated by the DEA and are required to be segregated and secured
in
a separate cabinet. Schedule III and Schedule IV drugs are less addictive
and
are not regulated. Because the Company's business model focuses on servicing
pain management doctors and chronic pain patients, the Company carries in
inventory a larger amount of Schedule II drugs than most other pharmacies.
The
cost in acquiring Schedule II drugs is higher than Schedule III and IV
drugs.
Long
Lived Assets:
In
July
2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
144,"Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
Of." SFAS
No.
144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal
of long-lived assets. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
their
carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the cost basis of a long-lived
asset
is greater than the projected future undiscounted net cash flows from such
asset, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses are calculated
as the
difference between

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Long
Lived Assets (continued)
the
cost
basis of an asset and its estimated fair value. SFAS No. 144 also requires
companies to separately report discontinued operations, and extends that
reporting to a
component
of an entity that either has been disposed of (by sale, abandonment or in
a
distribution to owners) or is classified as held for sale. Assets to be disposed
of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the estimated fair
value
less costs to sell.
The
Company's long-lived assets consist of computers, software, office furniture
and
equipment, and leasehold improvements on pharmacy build-outs which are
depreciated with useful lives varying from 3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements
are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease
term,
typically 5 years. The
Company
assesses the impairment of these long-lived assets at least annually and
makes
adjustment accordingly.
Intangible
Assets
Statement
of Financial Accounting standard (“SFAS”) No. 142,"Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets", which
is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, addresses how
intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other
assets
should be accounted for upon their acquisition and after they have been
initially recognized in the financial statements. SFAS No. 142 requires that
goodwill and identifiable intangible assets that have indefinite lives not
be
amortized but rather be tested at least annually for impairment, and intangible
assets that have finite useful lives be amortized over their estimated useful
lives.
SFAS
No.
142 provides specific guidance for testing goodwill and intangible assets
that
will not be amortized for impairment. In addition, SFAS No. 142 expands the
disclosure requirements about intangible assets in the years subsequent to
their
acquisition. Impairment losses for goodwill and indefinite-life intangible
assets that arise due to the initial application of SFAS No. 142 are to be
reported as a change in accounting principle.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue on an accrual basis when the product is delivered
to
the customer. Payments are received directly from the customer at the point
of
sale, or the customers’ insurance provider is billed. Authorization which
assures payment is obtained from the customers’ insurance provider before the
medication is dispensed to the customer. Authorization is obtained for the
vast
majority of these sales electronically and a corresponding authorization
number
is issued by the customers’ insurance provider.

SUMMARY

Revenue
Recognition (continued)
The
Company accounts for shipping and handling fees and costs in accordance with
EITF 00-10 “Accounting
for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs.”
Such
fees and costs are immaterial to the Company's operations.
Stock-based
Employee Compensation
Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of statement of Financial
Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123 (R)”),
which is a revision of SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 123 (R) supersedes APB Opinion
No.
25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement No.
95,
Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach to accounting for share-based
payments in SFAS No. 123 (R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS
No.
123.
However,
SFAS 123 (R) requires all new share-based payments to employees, including
grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements
based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure of the fair value of new
share-based payments is no longer an alternative to financial statement
recognition.
Prior
to
2006, the Company accounted for its employee stock option plans under the
intrinsic value method, in accordance with the provisions of Accounting
Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees,” and related interpretations. Compensation expense related to the
granting of employee stock options is recorded over the vesting period only,
if,
on the date of grant, the fair value of
the
underlying stock exceeds the option’s exercise price. The Company had adopted
the disclosure-only requirements of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation,” which allowed entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB
No. 25 for the transactions with employees and provide pro forma net income
and
pro forma income per share disclosures for employee stock grants made as
if the
fair value based method of accounting in SFAS No. 123 had been applied to
these
transactions.

LINE OF CREDIT FROM A RELATED PARTY
On
October 31, 2005, the Company entered into Line of Credit Agreement (“LOC”) with
Mosaic Financial Services, Inc. (“Mosaic”) enabling us to draw a maximum of
$1,000,000 to purchase inventory. This LOC has a one time commitment fee
equal
to three percent (3%) of the initial amount of the LOC. The LOC has a
monthly interest rate of 1.5% of the then LOC limit. These accrued finance
charges will be deducted prior to any advances. Under the terms of the LOC,
Mosaic has a conversion right to convert all or a portion of the outstanding
advances into shares of our common stock where conversion price is based
on the
weighted average closing bid price for the our common stock on the
over-the-counter bulletin board (or such other equivalent market on which
our
common stock is quoted) for the seven trading days immediately preceding
the
date the conversion right is exercised. The conversion price shall not be
less
than $0.40 or more than $0.80. This LOC is secured by
substantially all of our assets. On May 1, 2006, the Company repaid
$200,000, which was drawn down in October, 2005. Since April 15 2006, the
Company has been able to finance its inventory purchases without the need
to
draw down funds from the LOC.
The
group
financial officer for Mosaic Capital Advisors, LLC, which is the parent company
of Mosaic, has been a member of the Company’s board of directors since September
2005 and currently acts as our Chief Operating Officer.

Legal
Matters

and Sprague Retail, LLC
On
or
about May 16, 2005, a complaint was filed against the Company in the Superior
Court of the State of Washington in and for the County of Pierce by Sixth
and
Sprague Retail, LLC (“Plaintiff”) as a result of the
Company’s alleged
breach of a lease agreement relating to property located at 2024
6th
Avenue,
Suite 13, Tacoma, Pierce County, Washington 98405. On August 4, 2005, a partial
judgment was entered against the Company in the sum of $22,316 plus attorney’s
fees in the sum of $650 and costs in the sum of $315, plus post-judgment
interest at the rate of 12% per annum. It was further
ordered
that the Plaintiff was reserved the right to seek additional judgment amount
upon further application to the court. On June 2, 2006, the parties stipulated
to a motion to vacate the order of default, findings of fact and conclusions
of
law, and partial judgment entered on August 4, 2005. Subsequent to the reporting
period, the parties settled this dispute and we agreed to pay the principal
sum
of $47,500 in nine monthly installments of $5,277.78. In accordance with
the
terms of the settlement, the Plaintiffs agreed to dismiss the complaint with
prejudice.
Providing
pharmacy services entails an inherent risk of medical and professional
malpractice liability. The Company may be named as a defendant in such lawsuits
and become subject to the attendant risk of substantial damage awards. The
Company believes it possesses adequate professional and medical malpractice
liability insurance coverage. There can be no assurance that the Company
will
not be sued, that any such lawsuit will not exceed our insurance coverage,
or
that it will be able to maintain such
coverage
at acceptable costs and on favorable terms.
From
time
to time, the Company may be involved in various claims, lawsuits, dispute
with
third parties, actions involving allegations of discrimination or breach
of
contract actions incidental to the normal operations of the business. In
the
opinion of management, the Company is not currently involved in any litigation
which it believes could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
financial position or results of operations.

determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets as
of
September 30, 2006 will not be recognized. Consequently, the Company has
established a valuation allowance against the entire deferred tax
assets.
As
of
September 30, 2006, the Company has federal and state net operating losses
of
approximately $14 million that begin to expire in 2023 and 2010 for federal
and
state purposes, respectively.
The
utilization of some or all of the Company’s net operating losses may be severely
restricted now or in the future by a significant change in ownership as defined
under the provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as
amended. In addition, utilization of the Company’s California net operating
losses for the years beginning in 2002 and 2003 has been suspended under
state
law.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Unsecured
Convertible Debenture Note
Subsequent
to the reporting period, the Company raised $150,000 by issuing a one-year
unsecured convertible debenture (“Debenture”) carrying an interest rate of 18%
per annum. The Debenture provides that all the interest is payable solely
in the
shares of the Company’s common stock on the issuance date. The number of shares
to be issued as interest is to be calculated based upon average closing price
for our common stock on NASD OTCBB for the five (5) consecutive trading days
preceding the issuance date. The Company issued 86,405 shares of common stock
as
payment of interest on the Debenture. The Debenture holders have the right
to
convert their Debenture into fully paid non-assessable shares of common stock
at
$0.40 and Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase one (1) share of restricted
common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 exercisable for 12 months after

Business
Description
We
currently have five operating pharmacies. Our first pharmacy was opened on
October 13, 2003 in Santa Ana, California. On June 10, 2004, we opened our
second pharmacy in Riverside, California. These pharmacies were opened pursuant
to a joint venture agreement entered into with TPG Partners, LLC and we have
a
51% ownership interest in these pharmacies. We opened our third pharmacy
in Kirkland, Washington on August 11, 2004. Our fourth pharmacy was opened
in
Portland, Oregon on September 21, 2004. On June 21, 2006, we opened our fifth
pharmacy also located in Portland, Oregon. The pharmacies located in Kirkland
and Portland were opened pursuant to a joint venture agreement with TAPG LLC
in
which we have a 94.8% ownership interest in these pharmacies.
We
are
preparing to open a sixth pharmacy located in Gresham, Oregon. Subsequent to
the
reporting period, the Oregon Board of Pharmacy approved our application for
a
license to operate a pharmacy at this location. Construction of the pharmacy
at
this location has started and we anticipate that this pharmacy will be open
for
business before the end of the current fiscal year.
This
pharmacy represents the first wholly-owned pharmacy we established and our
third
location in the Portland, Oregon area.
As
a
result of the growth in our business and improvement in our operations, our
management is seeking to expand our business by establishing additional
pharmacies which are wholly-owned. Our management is seeking to open five
additional wholly-owned pharmacies during 2007 financed through internal cash
flow. We are currently considering future locations within or in close proximity
to medical facilities located in major metropolitan areas within Arizona,
California, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, and Washington.
Our
pharmacies have principally specialized in dispensing highly regulated pain
medication for acute chronic pain management. We recently expanded the reach
of
our business beyond pain management to service customers that require
prescriptions to treat cancer, psychiatric, and neurological conditions. Our
management attributes the recent growth in our business in part to us being
able
to fill prescriptions that can accommodate a broader range of customers.
Typical
retail pharmacies either do not keep in inventory or maintain limited amounts
of
highly regulated medications. As a result, the time it takes for a traditional
retail pharmacy to fill these prescriptions is prolonged. Our specialty
pharmacies maintain an inventory of highly regulated medication that is
specifically tailored to the needs of our recurring customers. This practice
frequently enables our pharmacies to fill customers’ prescriptions from its
existing inventory and decreases the wait time required to fill these
prescriptions. Our focus and familiarity with dispensing highly regulated
medications better positions our pharmacists to understand the needs of our
customers.
In
an
attempt to further expand our business and improve our marketing plan, we
retained the marketing firm of Rainmaker & Sun Integrated Marketing, Inc.
(“Rainmaker”). With the assistance of Rainmaker, we revised our marketing plan
and launched a new marketing campaign in July 2006. Our new marketing strategy
shifted the target of our marketing efforts from physicians to also include
the
patient. Our new marketing campaign is targeted to consumers in the Seattle,
Washington and Los Angeles, California test markets and is designed to further
increase consumer awareness of our pharmacies and the services they provide.
Our
marketing campaign includes newspaper advertisements and inserts, billboards,
bus shelter displays and direct mailing. We are at the early stages of
implementing our new marketing plan and have not been able to determine its
precise impact on our operations. Also in an attempt to expand our business,
we
doubled our sales force which our management anticipates to have a positive
material impact on our operations.
The
table
set forth below summarizes the number of prescriptions filled by our five
pharmacies during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.
Our
second pharmacy established in Portland, Oregon began
filling prescriptions during the three months ended September 30, 2006 and
the
total number of prescriptions filled at this location had no material impact
on
our total prescriptions filled because it only recently commenced
operations.

The
total
number of prescriptions filled at our pharmacies for the three months ended
September 30, 2006 was 14,816 which is an increase of approximately 75% from
the
8,458 total prescriptions filled at our pharmacies for the three months ended
September 30, 2005. Excluding the prescriptions filled at our second pharmacy
established in Portland, Oregon, the total number of prescriptions filled at
our
pharmacies for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased by
approximately 14% from the 12,461 total prescriptions filled at the same four
pharmacies in the prior three months ended June 30, 2006. The total number
of
prescriptions filled at our pharmacies for the nine months ended September
30,
2006 was 38,229 which is an increase of approximately 89% from the 20,183 total
prescriptions filled at our pharmacies for the nine months ended September
30,
2005. Our management credits our successful marketing efforts directly to the
patient and the expanded reach of our business beyond pain management for this
increase in our business.
We
have
also developed a monthly call program where our pharmacies are now contacting
each recurring patient directly on a monthly basis to ensure that the patient
has experienced no complications with the prescribed medication and to inquire
into whether the patient needs the prescription refilled. At the time of each
monthly call, our pharmacies are also inquiring into whether other members
of
the household also need a prescription refilled. Our management anticipates
that
the monthly call program will enhance consumer loyalty and increase the total
number of prescriptions filled at our pharmacies.
On
an
ongoing basis, our management is evaluating our operations and seeking
additional opportunities to expand our business. During the fiscal quarter
ended
March 31, 2006, we established a working relationship with a specialty
compounding pharmacy, which will enable physicians to prescribe custom
compounded drugs and have those prescriptions filled at our pharmacies. Since
this time, we have established relationships with other compound drug providers
to increase our available inventory of compounded drugs. Pharmaceutical
compounding is the combining, mixing, or altering of ingredients to create
a
customized medication for an individual patient in response to a licensed
physician’s prescription. Physicians often prescribe compounded medications for
reasons that include situations where there is not presently a commercially
available drug to treat the unique health condition of an individual patient
or
to combine several medications the patient is taking to increase compliance.
Custom compounded drugs can offer additional means of treating chronic pain.
We
anticipate that our ability to fill prescriptions for custom compounded drugs
will expand our business and enable us to better service patients who require
treatment for chronic pain management. During the three months ended September
30, 2006, we filled 72 prescriptions for custom compounded drugs which generated
$14,400 in revenue. The gross profit margin on these prescriptions was 61%.
As
a
result of the high gross profit margins on custom compounded drugs, our
management is seeking to commit additional resources to expand this area of
our
business.
Our
management also determined that we could expand our business through developing
arrangements with third party health plan providers to accept traditional
co-payments and fill prescriptions for their members who rely upon overnight
courier for delivery of their prescription. Our management believes that such
arrangements will broaden our consumer base and enable us to access a particular
niche of consumer that receives their prescriptions exclusively via courier
as
opposed to patronizing traditional retail pharmacy locations.
On
January 3, 2006, we incorporated Assured Pharmacy Plus, Corp. (“Plus Corp.”) as
a wholly-owned subsidiary to develop this opportunity. We entered into an
arrangement with Affiliated Healthcare Administrators (“AHA”), a third party
health plan administrator, to provide prescription service to their members.
Under the arrangement with AHA, our pharmacies will provide prescription service
to AHA members upon receipt of a traditional co-payment. Thereafter, we will
process the prescription claim with AHA and receive the remaining balances
due
for their member’s prescription purchases. Plus Corp. will process claims
relating to the prescription filled at our pharmacies for AHA members in
exchange for an administration fee. During the three months ended September
30,
2006, we generated $4,150 in revenue from providing prescription to AHA members.
Our management is contemplating expanding the operations of Plus Corp. by
licensing the entity as a pharmacy that exclusively focuses on servicing the
niche of consumers that are members of third party health plan administrators
and receive their prescriptions exclusively via courier.
Also
on
January 3, 2006, we incorporated Assured Pharmacy DME, Corp. (“DME”) as a
wholly-owned subsidiary for the purpose of facilitating and making available
specialized medical equipment to our consumers. We established a relationship
with a provider of specialized medical equipment to make these products
available to our consumers. In July 2005, we began notifying our consumers
of
the availability of these products by disseminating a notification with each
prescription filled at our pharmacies. We are now accepting and processing
orders for specialized medical equipment. We will not maintain any inventory
of
specialized medical equipment at any of our pharmacies. All orders will be
shipped directly to the consumer from a product wholesaler. During the three
months ended September 30, 2006, we generated $6,376 in revenue from sales
of
specialized medical equipment. The gross profit margin on these orders for
specialized medical equipment was approximately 63%. Our management is
encouraged by our consumers’ early response to our offering of specialized
medical equipment. Our management believes that our business can expand
significantly by providing specialized medical equipment to our consumers and
anticipates committing additional resources to expand this area of our
business.
Results
of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and
2005
Revenues
Our
total
revenue reported for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $2,310,248,
a
135% increase from $980,181 for the three months ended September 30, 2005.
The
average
revenue
generated per prescription during the three months ended September 30, 2006
was
$155. We generated more revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2006
than in any other quarterly period since our inception.
Our
total
revenue reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $5,720,869,
a
136% increase from $2,417,988 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
The
average revenue generated per prescription during the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 was $149. Our revenue for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005 was generated almost exclusively from the sale
of
prescription drugs.
Our
total
gross revenue generated has increased each quarterly period since we began
to
generate revenue from our current operations. The table set forth below shows
our total reported gross revenue generated for each of the first three quarterly
periods during fiscal 2005 and 2006:

Our
management attributes the significant increase in our revenue from the same
reporting periods in the prior fiscal year to our successful marketing efforts
and an expansion of our business beyond the pain management sector to service
customers that require prescriptions to treat cancer, psychiatric, and
neurological conditions. Our management anticipates that our revenues generated
will continue to increase based upon the efforts of additional sales personnel
retained during the reporting period and the establishment of additional
pharmacies in the current year. After approximately a two year period without
opening any additional pharmacy locations, we opened our fifth pharmacy located
in Portland, Oregon on June 21, 2006. Although the operations at this new
location had no material impact on our results of operations, we anticipate
the
establishment of this pharmacy and additional locations will increase our
revenues. We anticipate that our sixth pharmacy, in Gresham, Oregon will be
open
for business before the end of the current fiscal year.
Cost
of Sales
The
total
cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $1,719,320,
a
106% increased from $835,268 for the three months ended September 30, 2005.
The
total cost of sales increased 104% to $4,310,959 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 from $2,116,798 for the nine months ended September 30,
2005.
The cost of sales consists primarily of the pharmaceuticals. The increase in
cost of sales is primarily attributable to increased sales in the reporting
period. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, we negotiated cost
reductions
and
more
favorable credit terms with our primary drug supplier. As a result, we incurred
lower costs of sales on a per unit basis during the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2006 when compared to the same reporting period in the prior
fiscal year.
Gross
Profit
Gross
profit increased to $590,928, or approximately 25% of sales, for the three
months ended September 30, 2006. This is an increase from a gross profit of
$144,913, or approximately 15% of sales for the three months ended September
30,
2005.
Gross
profit increased to $1,409,910, or approximately 25% of sales, for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006. This is an increase from a gross profit of
$301,190, or approximately 13% of sales for the nine months ended September
30,
2005.
The
increase in gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2006
when compared to the same reporting period in the prior fiscal year is
attributable to increased sales of generic type drugs which have lower costs
and
higher gross margins. In addition, our increased gross profit in also
attributable to negotiated cost reductions and more favorable credit terms
from
our primary pharmaceutical supplier during nine months ended September 30,
2006.
Operating
Expenses
Operating
expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $1,426,963, a 53%
decrease from $3,026,446 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Our
operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 consisted
of
salaries and related expenses of $500,382, consulting and other compensation
of
$384,218, and selling, general and administrative expenses of $542,363. Our
operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2005 consisted
of
salaries and related expenses of $2,458,950, consulting and other compensation
of $298,151, and selling, general and administrative expenses of $269,345.
Operating
expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $4,300,411, a 19%
decrease from $5,286,535 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Our
operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 consisted of
salaries and related expenses of $1,580,847, consulting and other compensation
of $1,210,918, and selling, general and administrative expenses of $1,508,596.
Our operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 consisted
of
salaries and related expenses of $3,144,970, consulting and other compensation
of $1,006,916, selling, general and administrative expenses of $940,768, and
restructuring charges of $193,881.
Salaries
and related expenses were significantly higher in the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2005 when compared to the current fiscal year primarily
a
result of out of the money options valued at $1,950,000 and common stock valued
at $70,000 granted to our executive officers in 2005. The increase in consulting
and other compensation is primarily attributable to the amortization resulting
from the issuance of shares of restricted common stock to consultants over
the
life of the consulting agreements. The increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses paid is primarily attributable the expenses associated
with retaining
Rainmaker
to launch our new marketing plan.

Income and Expense
During
the three months ended September 30, 2006, we reported other expenses in the
amount of $107,142, compared to reporting other expense in the amount of $27,413
for the same reporting period in the prior year.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we reported other expenses in the
amount of $209,396, compared to reporting other income in the amount of $885,425
for the same reporting period in the prior year.
The
other
income reported during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, is attributable
to a gain on the forgiveness of debt in the amount of $1,060,400 in connection
with a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Settlement Agreement”)
between Safescript Pharmacies, Inc., a Texas corporation f/k/a RTIN Holdings,
Inc. and Safe Med Systems, Inc., a Texas corporation (collectively,
“Safescript”), and us. The Settlement Agreement contained a mutual release which
resulted in the Safescript releasing us from of any liability with respect
to a
note payable due to the Safescript in the amount of approximately $1,013,000.
In
the absence of this gain on the forgiveness attributable to the settlement
agreement, we would have reported other expenses of $174,975 for the nine months
ended September 2005. We incurred interest expense of $35,738 during the three
months ended September 30, 2006 and $113,726 during the nine months ended
September 30, 2006. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30,
2006 was incurred on financing we received from related parties and interest
paid on convertible debentures issued during the reporting period.
Net
Loss
Net
loss
for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $981,085, compared to net
loss
of $2,835,877 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Net loss for the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $3,144,983, compared to a net loss
of
$3,849,291 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in our
net
loss was primarily attributable to increased gross profit and lower operating
expenses during the reporting period.
Our
loss
per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $0.02,
compared to a loss per common share of $0.07 for the three months ended
September 30, 2005. Our loss per common share for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 was $0.06, compared to a loss per common share of $0.10
for
the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of
September 30, 2006, we had $413,512 in cash which primarily resulted from funds
raised in the private offering of common stock. As of September 30, 2006, we
had
current assets in the amount of $2,103,000 and had current liabilities in the
amount of $2,826,817 resulting in a working capital deficit of $723,817. As
of
September 30, 2006, we had access to an available line of credit enabling us
to
draw a maximum of $1,000,000 to purchase inventory.
Operating
activities used $2,716,764 in cash for the nine months ended September 30,
2006.
Our net loss of $3,127,066 was the primary component of our negative operating
cash flow. Investing activities during the nine months ended September 30,
2006
used $79,751 for the purchase of property and equipment. Net cash flows provided
by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was
$2,853,386. We received $615,000 as proceeds from the issuance of notes payable
to related parties, $800,000 as proceeds from the issuance of debentures and
$1,775,292 as proceeds from the issuance of common stock and warrants during
the
nine months ended September 30, 2006.
In
order
for us to finance operations and continue our growth plan, additional funding
will be required from external sources. We intend to fund operations through
increased sales and debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be
insufficient to fund our capital expenditures, working capital, or other cash
requirements for the next twelve months. Our management anticipates that its
financing efforts subsequent to the reporting period will result in sufficient
funds to finance our operations over the next twelve months, but there can
be no
assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable
terms, or at all.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
As
of
September 30, 2006, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among
other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in
the
ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2006, we had an accumulated
deficit of $18,378,520, recurring losses from operations of $3,144,983, and
negative cash flow from operating activities of 2,716,764, for the nine month
period ended September 30, 2006. We also had a negative working capital of
$723,817 as of September 30, 2006.
We
intend
to fund operations through increased sales and debt and/or equity financing
arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund capital expenditures, working
capital or other cash requirements for the year ending December 31, 2006. We
are
seeking additional funds to finance our immediate and long-term operations.
The
successful outcome of future financing activities cannot be determined at this
time and there is no assurance that if achieved, we will have sufficient funds
to execute our intended business plan or generate positive operating results.
These
factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue
as
a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
do
not include any adjustments related to recoverability and classification of
asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that
might result should we be unable to continue as a going
concern.
In
response to these problems, management has taken the following actions:
| · |
We
are expanding our revenue base beyond the pain management sector
to
service customers that require prescriptions to treat cancer, psychiatric,
and neurological conditions.
|
| · |
We
are aggressively signing up new physicians, which will result in
new
patients.
|
| · |
We
are seeking investment capital through the public
markets.
|
| · |
We
implemented a new marketing strategy and retained additional sales
personnel to attract business.

Critical
Accounting Policies
In
December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical
accounting Policies” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC
indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to
the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires
management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result
of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently
uncertain. We believe that the following accounting policies fit this
definition.
Inventories
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or estimated market,
and
consist primarily of pharmaceutical drugs. Market is determined by comparison
with recent sales or net realizable value. Net realizable value is based on
management’s forecast for sales of our products or services in the ensuing years
and/or consideration and analysis of changes in customer base, product mix,
payor mix, third party insurance reimbursement levels or other issues that
may
impact the estimated net realizable value. Management regularly reviews
inventory quantities on hand and records a reserve for shrinkage and
slow-moving, damaged and expired inventory, which is measured as the difference
between the inventory cost and the estimated market value based on management’s
assumptions about market conditions and future demand for our products. At
September 30, 2006, such reserves were insignificant to the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. Should the demand for our products prove
to
be less than anticipated, the ultimate net realizable value of our inventories
could be substantially less than reflected in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet.
Inventories
are comprised of brand and generic pharmaceutical drugs. Brand drugs are
purchased primarily from one wholesale vendor and generic drugs are purchased
primarily from another wholesale vendor. Our pharmacies maintain a wide variety
of different drug classes, known as Schedule II, Schedule III, and Schedule
IV
drugs, which vary in degrees of addictiveness.
Schedule
II drugs, considered narcotics by the DEA are the most addictive; hence, they
are highly regulated by the DEA and are required to be segregated and secured
in
a separate cabinet. Schedule III and Schedule IV drugs are less addictive and
are not regulated. Because our business model focuses on servicing pain
management doctors and chronic pain patients, we carry in our
inventory
a larger amount of Schedule II drugs than most other pharmacies. The cost in
acquiring Schedule II drugs is higher than Schedule III and IV
drugs.
Long-Lived
Assets
In
July
2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
144,"Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
Of." SFAS
No.
144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal
of long-lived assets. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their
carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the cost basis of a long-lived asset
is greater than the projected future undiscounted net cash flows from such
asset, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses are calculated as
the
difference between the cost basis of an asset and its estimated fair value.
SFAS
No. 144 also requires companies to separately report discontinued operations,
and extends that reporting to a component of an entity that either has been
disposed of (by sale, abandonment or in a distribution to owners) or is
classified as held for sale. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower
of the carrying amount or the estimated fair value less costs to
sell.
Our
long-lived assets consist of computers, software, office furniture and
equipment, and leasehold improvements on pharmacy build-outs which are
depreciated with useful lives varying from 3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements
are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life or the remaining lease
term,
typically 5 years. We assess the impairment of these long-lived assets at least
annually and make adjustment accordingly.
Intangible
Assets
Statement
of Financial Accounting standard (“SFAS”) No. 142,"Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets", which
is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, addresses how
intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets
should be accounted for upon their acquisition and after they have been
initially recognized in the financial statements. SFAS No. 142 requires that
goodwill and identifiable intangible assets that have indefinite lives not
be
amortized but rather be tested at least annually for impairment, and intangible
assets that have finite useful lives be amortized over their estimated useful
lives.
SFAS
No.
142 provides specific guidance for testing goodwill and intangible assets that
will not be amortized for impairment. In addition, SFAS No. 142 expands the
disclosure requirements about intangible assets in the years subsequent to
their
acquisition. Impairment losses for goodwill and indefinite-life intangible
assets that arise due to the initial application of SFAS No. 142 are to be
reported as a change in accounting principle.
Revenue
Recognition
We
recognize revenue on an accrual basis when the product is delivered to the
customer. Payments are received directly from the customer at the point of
sale,
or the customers’ insurance provider is billed. Authorization which assures
payment is obtained from the customers’ insurance provider before the medication
is dispensed to the customer. Authorization is obtained
for
the
vast majority of these sales electronically and a corresponding authorization
number is issued by the customers’ insurance provider.
We
carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation
of
our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2006. This evaluation was carried
out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive
Officer as well as Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Robert DelVecchio. Based upon
that evaluation, Mr. DelVecchio has concluded that, as of September 30, 2006,
our disclosure controls and procedures are of limited effectiveness. There
have
been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the
quarter ended September 30, 2006.
Disclosure
controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed
to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or
submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and
reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and
procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in
our
reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Limitations
on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our
management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our
internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud
and
material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide
reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level. Further, the design
of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints,
and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because
of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls
can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud,
if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations
include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and
that
breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls
can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of
two
or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design
of
any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about
the
likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design
will
succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,
or
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
PART
II - OTHER INFORMATION
Other
than as set forth below, there have been no material developments in the ongoing
legal proceedings previously reported in which we are a party. A complete
discussion of our ongoing legal proceedings is discussed in our annual report
on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Sixth
and Sprague Retail, LLC
On
or
about May 16, 2005, a complaint was filed against us in the Superior Court
of
the State of Washington in and for the County of Pierce by Sixth and Sprague
Retail, LLC (“Plaintiff”) as a result of our alleged breach of a lease agreement
relating to property located at 2024 6th
Avenue,
Suite 13, Tacoma, Pierce County, Washington 98405. On August 4, 2005, a partial
judgment was entered against us in the sum of $22,316 plus attorney’s fees in
the sum of $650 and costs in the sum of $315, plus post-judgment interest at
the
rate of 12% per annum. It was further ordered that the Plaintiff was reserved
the right to seek additional judgment amounts upon further application to the
court. On June 2, 2006, the parties stipulated to a motion to vacate the order
of default, findings of fact and conclusions of law, and partial judgment
entered on August 4, 2005. Subsequent to the reporting period, the parties
settled this dispute and we agreed to pay the principal sum of $47,500 in nine
monthly installments of $5,277.78. In accordance with the terms of the
settlement, the Plaintiffs agreed to dismiss the complaint with
prejudice.
The
information set forth below relates to our issuances of securities without
registration under the Securities Act during the reporting period which were
not
previously included in a Current Report on Form 8-K.
During
the reporting period, we sold 87,500 units at $0.80 per unit, or an aggregate
of
$70,000 in proceeds, to accredited investors in a private equity offering.
Each
unit is priced at $0.80 and consists of two (2) shares of restricted common
stock and one (1) warrant to purchase one (1) share of restricted common stock
at an exercise price of $0.60 exercisable for thirty six (36) months after
the
acceptance date of the subscription. These securities were issued pursuant
to
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We did not engage in
any
general solicitation or advertising. We issued the stock certificates and
affixed the appropriate legends to the restricted stock.
During
the reporting period, we issued 590,000 shares of restricted common stock to
two
consultants for services rendered, valued at $236,000 (estimated to be the
fair
value based on the trading price on the issuance date). These shares were issued
pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. We did not engage in
any
general solicitation or advertising. We issued the stock certificates and
affixed the appropriate legends to the restricted stock.
During
the reporting period, we raised $800,000 by issuing a one-year unsecured
convertible
debenture
(“Debenture”) carrying an interest rate of 18% per annum. The Debenture provides
that all the interest is payable solely in the shares of our common stock on
the
issuance date. The number of shares to be issued as interest is to be calculated
based upon average closing price for our common stock on NASD OTCBB for the
five
(5) consecutive trading days preceding the issuance date. As of September 30,
2006, the shares have not been issued, however, the liability for the interest
has be recorded by the Company. The Debenture holders have the right to convert
their Debenture into fully paid non-assessable shares of our common stock at
$0.40 and Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase one (1) share of restricted
common stock at an exercise price of $0.60 exercisable for 12 months after
the
conversion date and to purchase one (1) share of restricted common stock at
an
exercise price of $0.80 exercisable for 24 months. The Debenture and the shares
issued as interest were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act
of
1933. We did not engage in any general solicitation or advertising. We issued
the stock certificates and affixed the appropriate legends to the restricted
stock.
None
During
reporting period on July 17, 2006, we held the annual meeting of our security
holders. The meeting was called for the purpose of electing four directors,
approving an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to increase the number
of shares of common stock authorized for issuance from 70,000,000 to
150,000,000, to confirm the appointment of Miller, Ellin & Co. LLP as
auditor to examine our financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2006, and to transact any other items of business that may properly come before
the meeting. The total number of shares of common stock outstanding at the
record date, June 2, 2006, was 49,590,740 shares. The number of votes
represented at this meeting was 25,942,082 shares, or 52.3% of shares eligible
to vote.
