PART I

Item 1. Description of Business.

General

The Female Health Company ("FHC" or the "Company") manufactures, markets and sells the FC female condom (FC), the only FDA-approved product under a woman's control which can prevent unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases ("STDs"), including HIV/AIDS.
 
FC has undergone extensive testing for efficacy, safety and acceptability, not only in the United States but also in many countries around the world. Certain of these studies show that having FC available allows women to have more options, resulting in an increase in protected sex acts and a decrease in STDs, including HIV/AIDS.

The product is currently sold or available in various venues. It is commercially marketed in 14 countries by various FHC country specific partners, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, and Brazil. Currently there are programs and/or pilot studies ongoing in over 100 countries.
 
Product

FC is made of polyurethane, a thin but strong material which is resistant to rips and tears during use. FC consists of a soft, loose fitting sheath and two flexible O rings. One of the rings is used to insert the device and helps to hold it in place. The other ring remains outside the vagina after insertion. FC lines the vagina, preventing skin from touching skin during intercourse. FC is pre-lubricated and disposable and is intended for use during only one sex act.

In 2005, FHC announced that it had completed development of its second generation female condom, FC2. FC2 is made of a nitrile polymer which allows for a more rapid and economical manufacturing process. FC2 has the same physical design, specifications, safety and efficacy profile as the female condom the Company now sells. FC2 has been approved by the European Union ("EU") and received the CE mark and is under review by the World Health Organization ("WHO"). FHC is in discussions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") regarding requirements for US distribution. To date, the Company has not yet completed any sales or received any orders for FC2.

Raw Materials

Polyurethane is the principal raw material the Company uses to produce FC. The Company has entered into a supply agreement with Deerfield Urethane, Inc. for the purchase of the Company's requirement of polyurethane. Under this agreement, the parties negotiate pricing on an annual basis. The term of the agreement expires on December 31, 2006 and automatically renews for additional one year periods unless either party gives at least 12 months prior written notice of termination.

Global Market Potential

It is more than twenty years since the first clinical evidence of AIDS was noted. HIV/AIDS is the most devastating pandemic that humankind has faced in recorded history. The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (“UNAIDS”) reported that at the end of 2005, 43 million people globally are living with HIV. Women now comprise the majority of the new cases. UNAIDS estimates that if further action isn’t taken up to 100 million people will have died of AIDS by 2020.
 
Currently there are only two products that prevent the transmission of HIV/AIDS through sexual intercourse--the latex male condom and the female condom.

The Condom Market

Estimates for the global annual market for male condoms are between 6-9 billion units. In addition, given the rapid spread of HIV/AIDS in India and China, UNAIDS estimates that the need for condoms, both male and female, may be as high as 29 billion units in the next 6 years.

The FC Female Condom and the Male Condom

FC is currently the only available barrier contraceptive method approved by FDA and listed as an essential product by WHO that is controlled by women which allows them to protect themselves from unintended pregnancy and STDs, including HIV/AIDS. The most important advantage is that using FC, a woman has a prevention method she controls as many men do not like to wear male condoms and may refuse to do so.

The polyurethane material that is used for FC offers a number of benefits over latex, the material that is most commonly used in male condoms. Polyurethane is much stronger than latex, reducing the probability that FC sheath will tear during use. Unlike latex, polyurethane quickly transfers heat, so FC immediately warms to body temperature when it is inserted, which may result in increased pleasure and sensation during use. The product offers an additional benefit to the 7% to 20% of the population that is allergic to latex and who, as a result, may be irritated by latex male condoms. To the Company's knowledge, there is no reported allergy to date to polyurethane. FC is also more convenient, providing the option of insertion hours before sexual arousal and as a result is less disruptive during sexual intimacy than the male condom which requires sexual arousal for application.

Numerous clinical and behavioral studies have been conducted regarding use of FC. Studies show that FC is found acceptable by women and their partners in many cultures. Importantly studies also show that when FC is made available with male condoms there is a significant increase in protected sex acts. The increase in protected sex acts varies by country and averages between 10% and 35%.

Cost Effectiveness

A study entitled "Cost-effectiveness of the female condom in preventing HIV and STDs in commercial sex workers in South Africa" was reported in the Journal of Social Science and Medicine in 2001. This study shows that making FC available is highly cost effective in reducing public health costs in developing countries as well as in the U.S.

Female Condom Reuse

Studies have shown that FC can be reused up to five times. WHO has noted the procedure to use regarding the washing and preparation of FC if it is going to be reused, on its website. WHO, UNAIDS and FHC all make the statement that FC should only be reused when a new female condom is not available.

Worldwide Regulatory Approvals

FC received Pre-Market Approval ("PMA") as a Class III Medical Device from the FDA in 1993. The extensive clinical testing and scientific data required for FDA approval laid the foundation for approvals throughout the rest of the world, including receipt of a CE Mark in 1997 which allows the Company to market FC throughout the EU and in most countries of the world. In addition to the United States and the EU, several other countries have formally reviewed and approved FC for sale, including Canada, Australia, Japan and India.

The Company believes that FC's PMA and FDA classification as a Class III Medical Device create a significant barrier to entry. The Company estimates that it would take a minimum of four to six years to implement, execute and receive FDA approval of a PMA to market another type of female condom.

The Company believes there are no material issues or material costs associated with the Company's compliance with environmental laws related to the manufacture and distribution of FC.

Strategy

The Company's strategy is to act as a manufacturer, selling FC to the global public sector, United States public sector and commercial partners for country-specific marketing. The public sector and commercial partners assume the cost of shipping and marketing the product. As a result, as volume increases, the Company's operating expenses will not increase significantly.

The Company filed a patent on its second generation product (FC2) in 2003. It completed development in 2005. FC2 has been approved by the EU and received the CE mark. The FC2 data base is currently under review by the WHO and the Company is in discussions with FDA regarding FDA’s requirements for US distribution. Because of the modified manufacturing procedure, it is expected that having FC2 available will result in a meaningful reduction in cost to manufacture FC, and thus ultimately reduce the cost to customers based on the purchase of sufficient volume. It is the Company’s objective to use this opportunity to accelerate market penetration.

7


Commercial Markets

The Company markets the product directly in the United Kingdom. The Company has distribution agreements with commercial partners in 14 countries with major programs in 12 countries, including the United States, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Spain, France and India. The agreements are generally exclusive for a single country. Under these agreements, each partner markets and distributes FC in a single country and the Company manufacturers FC and sells the product to the partner for distribution in that country.

After terminating its relationship with its first partner, the Company entered into a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with a large Japanese pharmaceutical company to distribute FC to public and private markets in Japan. Since then that company has been sold, thus terminating discussions. The Company is currently in discussions with Fuji Latex, one of the largest male condom manufacturers and distributors in Japan and with whom the Company has previously signed an agreement to manage the importation and quality control of FC under Japanese regulatory requirements. The potential new relationship would broaden Fuji Latex’s involvement with FC to include marketing and distribution in Japan.

Relationships and Agreements with Public Sector Organizations

The Company has an agreement with UNAIDS to supply FC to developing countries at a reduced price which is negotiated each year based on the Company's cost of production. The current price per unit is approximately £0.40 (pounds), or approximately $0.69. Under the agreement, UNAIDS and the Company cooperate in education efforts and marketing FC in developing countries. Sales of FC are made directly to public health authorities in each country at the price established by the agreement with UNAIDS. The term of the agreement currently expires on December 31, 2006, but automatically renews for additional one-year periods unless either party gives at least 90 days prior written notice of termination. FC is available in 87 countries through public sector distribution.

In the United States, the product is marketed to city and state public health clinics, as well as not-for-profit organizations such as Planned Parenthood.

Manufacturing Facilities

The Company manufactures FC in a 40,000 square-foot leased facility in London, England. The facility is currently capable of producing 60 million units per year.

The Company manufactures and warehouses FC2 within 1,900 square footage of a leased facility located in Selangor D.E., Malaysia. The facility is presently capable of producing 8 million units per year. The Company intends to expand its capacity at this location and/or manufacture at additional locations as the demand for FC2 develops.


8


Government Regulation

In the U.S., FC is regulated by the FDA. Pursuant to section 515(a)(3) of the Safe Medical Amendments Act of 1990 (the "SMA Act"), the FDA may temporarily suspend approval and initiate withdrawal of the PMA if the FDA finds that FC is unsafe or ineffective, or on the basis of new information with respect to the device, which, when evaluated together with information available at the time of approval, indicates a lack of reasonable assurance that the device is safe or effective under the conditions of use prescribed, recommended or suggested in the labeling. Failure to comply with the conditions of FDA approval invalidates the approval order. Commercial distribution of a device that is not in compliance with these conditions is a violation of the SMA Act.

Competition

The Company's female condom participates in the same market as male condoms but is not seen as directly competing with male condoms. Rather, the Company believes that providing FC is additive in terms of prevention and choice. Latex male condoms cost less and have brand names that are more widely recognized than FC. In addition, male condoms are generally manufactured and marketed by companies with significantly greater financial resources than the Company.

Medtech Products (MP) Ltd. is a condom company with a manufacturing facility in Chennai, India, which has developed the V/A - Feminine Condom, MP’s version of a latex female condom. USAID and Family Health International (FHI) are currently evaluating the MP condom for consideration to move into a Phase 3 clinical study, having already completed Phases 1 and 2. The manufacturing process has a CE mark for distribution in Europe and is available in German stores. Additionally, the Indian Drug Controller approval was received in January 2003. The product has not received FDA approval nor has it been listed as an essential product by WHO.

It is also possible that other parties will develop a female condom. These competing products could be manufactured, marketed and sold by companies with significantly greater financial resources than those of the Company.

Patents and Trademarks

The Company currently holds product and technology patents in the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, the European Patent Convention, Canada, the People's Republic of China, South Korea and Australia. These patents expire between 2006 and 2013. Additional patent applications are pending in the U.S. and in other countries around the world through the Patent Cooperation Treaty. The applications cover the key aspects of the second generation female condom, FC2, including its overall design and manufacturing process.

The Company has the registered trademark "FC Female Condom" in the United States.  The Company has also secured, or applied for, 12 trademarks in 22 countries to protect the various names and symbols used in marketing the product around the world. These include "femidom" and "femy," "Reality" and others. In addition, the experience that has been gained through years of manufacturing the FC female condom has allowed the Company to develop trade secrets and know-how, including certain proprietary production technologies, that further secure its competitive position.

Employees

As of December 19, 2005, the Company had 122 full-time employees and 1 part-time employee, all but two who are located within the U.S. or the U.K. No Company employees are represented by a labor union. The Company believes that its employee relations are good.

Backlog

At December 19, 2005, the Company had unfilled orders of $3,940,000. The comparable amount as of the same date of the prior year was $131,000. Unfilled orders materially fluctuate from quarter to quarter, and include orders with requested delivery dates later in fiscal 2006. The Company expects current unfilled orders to be filled during fiscal 2006.

Research and Development

The Company incurred approximately $274,000 of research and development costs in fiscal 2005 and $179,000 of research and development costs in fiscal 2004. Such expenditures pertained to the Company’s need to conduct acceptability studies and analyze second generation products.

Industry Segments and Financial Information About Foreign And Domestic Operations

See Note 11 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included herein.

History

The female condom was invented by a Danish physician who obtained a U.S. patent for the product in 1988. The physician subsequently sold certain rights to the condom to Chartex Resources Limited. In the years that followed, Chartex, with resources provided by a nonprofit Danish foundation, developed the manufacturing processes and completed other activities associated with bringing the female condom to market in certain non-U.S. countries. The Company, known as Wisconsin Pharmacal Company, Inc. (the Company's predecessor), owned certain rights to the female condom in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, pursued the pre-clinical and clinical studies and overall development of the product for worldwide use and U.S. FDA approval of the product.

The Female Health Company is the successor to Wisconsin Pharmacal Company, Inc., a company which previously manufactured and marketed a wide variety of disparate specialty chemical and branded consumer products in addition to owning certain rights to the female condom described above. The Company was originally incorporated in Wisconsin in 1971.

In fiscal 1995, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to complete a series of actions designed, in part, to maximize the potential of the female condom. First, the Company restructured and transferred all of the assets and liabilities of the Company other than those related primarily to the female condom to a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, WPC Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"). In January 1996, the Company sold Holdings to an unrelated third party. Then, in February 1996, the Company acquired Chartex (renamed The Female Health Company - UK in 1997), the manufacturer and owner of certain worldwide rights to, and the Company's sole supplier of, the female condom. As a result of the sale of Holdings and the acquisition of Chartex, The Female Health Company evolved to its current state with its sole business consisting of the manufacture, marketing and sale of the female condom.

The FDA approved FC for distribution in 1993 and the Company's manufacturing facility in 1994. Since that time, the Company has sold over 104 million female condoms around the world.

Item 2. Description of Property.

The Company leases approximately 3,100 square feet of office space at 515 North State Street, Suite 2225, Chicago, IL 60610. The lease expires September 30, 2006. The Company utilizes warehouse space and sales fulfillment services of an independent public warehouse located near Minneapolis, Minnesota for storage and distribution of the female condom. The Company manufactures the female condom in a 40,000 square foot leased facility located in London, England under a lease which expires in 2016, with the right to renew through 2027. The FDA-approved manufacturing process is subject to periodic inspections by the FDA as well as the EU quality group. Current capacity at the manufacturing facility is approximately 60 million female condoms per year. The Company manufactures and warehouses FC2 within 1,900 square feet of a leased facility located in Selangor D.E., Malaysia. The Malaysian lease expires June 30, 2006, with the right to renew through 2007. Current capacity at the manufacturing facility is approximately 8 million female condoms per year. Management believes the properties are adequately insured.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

Between September 2004 and January 2005, the Company conducted a program to induce the holders of the Company’s outstanding common stock purchase warrants to exercise their warrants. Pursuant to this program, the Company offered an incentive to such holders providing for issuance of (1) shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 10% of the aggregate number of common stock purchase warrants exercised or (2) new common stock purchase warrants equal to 20% of the aggregate number of outstanding warrants exercised containing an exercise price per share equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board on the date the holder committed to exercise the outstanding warrants. Under this incentive program, one investor exercised 500,000 warrants as of September 30, 2004 and received 550,000 shares of common stock which includes 50,000 incentive shares. Between October 2004 and January 2005 four investors exercised 1,000,000 warrants and received 1,100,000 shares of common stock which includes 100,000 incentive shares and two investors exercised 1,200,000 warrants and received 1,200,000 shares of common stock and 240,000 incentive warrants with an exercise price in each case of $1.50 per share and an expiration date of November 23, 2007. Among the seven persons participating in this program were three of the Company’s directors (Stephen M. Dearholt, Richard E. Wenninger and O.B. Parrish). The Company received aggregate proceeds of $2.5 million from the exercise of the outstanding warrants.

The Company believes that the issuance of the common stock and the common stock purchase warrants pursuant to the program were exempt from registration under section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act because such issuances were made to persons who are accredited investors. The accredited investors represented to the Company that they were purchasing for investment without a view to further distribution. Restrictive legends were placed on all instruments evidencing the securities described above.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Overview

Over the past few years, the Company completed significant aspects of the development and commercialization of the female condom. These initiatives have resulted in the attainment of proprietary manufacturing technology and product design patents, necessary regulatory approvals, and the development of significant manufacturing capacity. These steps, taken as part of the Company's plan to develop and sell a product with global commercial and humanitarian value, have required the expenditure of significant amounts of capital and resulted in significant operating losses including the period 1996 through the present.

The Company has begun the process of developing the commercial market for the female condom around the world. As part of this plan, the Company has completed a number of distribution agreements and is pursuing other arrangements for the marketing and sale of the female condom. Management believes that as the number of markets in which the female condom is sold increases, sales will grow and at certain levels the Company will become profitable. However, there can be no assurance that such level of sales will be achieved in the near term or at all.

Results of Operations

Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2005 ("2005") Compared to Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2004 ("2004")

The Company had net revenues of $11,161,555 and a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $(1,516,863) or $(0.07) per share in 2005 compared to net revenues of $8,982,074 and a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $(2,125,889) or $(0.11) per share in 2004.  

Gross profit increased $1,169,107, or 32%, to $4,791,400 for 2005 from $3,622,293 for 2004. The increase was a result of expanding net revenues more than offseting the higher fixed and variable costs incurred to manufacture the product in 2005.

Net revenues increased $2,179,481, or 24%, in 2005 over the prior year. The higher net revenues resulted from increased unit sales shipped to global public sector customers.  The increased global public sector shipments in the countries of South Africa and Botswana were partially offset by smaller reductions in shipments in Zimbabwe, Congo and Kenya.

On May 20, 2004 the Brazilian Ministry of Health publicly reported a fraud in the purchasing of certain products by the ministry and several individuals involved were arrested. Purchases of products have been suspended while the investigation was ongoing. The fraud does not involve the Female Health Company or the female condom. However, the Company’s anticipated 4 million unit order was delayed due to the suspension and investigation. During 2004 and 2005 no public sector shipments to Brazil were made. The investigation has been completed and the Brazilian Ministry of Health has resumed orders of the female condom beginning with a 4 million unit order on October 5, 2005 to be shipped in fiscal year 2006, of which the first 2 million units were shipped in December 2005. Additionally, the Company shipped 110,000 commercial units to a distributor in Brazil in 2005, compared to 65,000 units in 2004.

Cost of products sold increased $1,010,374, or 19%, to $6,370,155 for 2005 from $5,359,781 for 2004. The increase in cost of products sold is a result of higher labor, direct material, and indirect production costs due to higher production levels during 2005 than 2004.

Advertising and promotional expenditures increased $75,502 to $123,103 for 2005 from $47,601 for 2004. The increase resulted from the Company hiring a public relations firm in 2005 to prepare for a worldwide FC2 product launch.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1,242,757, or 28%, from $4,463,018 in 2004 to $5,705,775 in 2005. The increase in 2005 was a result of a rise in stock compensation, consulting fees, executive staff compensation and increases in U.K. operating expenses. The higher stock compensation costs during 2005 were a result of the Company recording $342,000 in non-recurring charges related to shares of common stock and stock purchase warrants issued as an incentive for exercising existing stock warrants during the first two quarters of fiscal 2005 as well as increased compensation for investor relation services. The higher consulting fees incurred represented services related to the documentation, design and testing stages required to design an internal control environment to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. During 2005 the Company incurred $435,381 in expenses related to the Sarbanes-Oxley implementation. The additional executive costs relate to the hiring of a Global Development Vice President during the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year. The position was vacant for the first three quarters of that fiscal year. The overall higher UK operating costs were a result of increases in insurance costs, engaging an IT consultant, property taxes and the Company’s bad debt provision in 2005 compared to 2004.


13


Research and development costs increased $94,575 to $273,776 in 2005 from $179,201 in 2004. The Company filed a patent on a second generation product (FC2) in the latter part of the 2003 fiscal year. The Company initiated a development program related to FC2 in 2004. The increase in costs during 2005 is a result of expenses related to the safety and acceptability studies for the FC2 program and setting up a facility in Malaysia to warehouse and manufacture the product.

The Company's operating loss increased $243,727 to $(1,311,254) in 2005 from $(1,067,527) in 2004 due to the improved gross profit being more than offset by an increase in operating expenses. Total operating expenses increased $1,412,834 from $4,689,820 in 2004 to $6,102,654 in 2005 as a result of increases in advertising and promotional, selling, general and administrative, research and development, and stock compensation expenses. 

Net interest and non-operating expenses decreased $906,959, or 95%, to $44,402 for 2005 compared to $951,361 for 2004. The reduction in the current fiscal year is primarily due to the Company eliminating its debt outstanding during the first quarter of fiscal 2005. The result is a substantially lower amount of both interest paid and non-cash expenses incurred from the amortization of discounts on the credit facility during 2005 than in 2004. 

Preferred dividends increased $54,206 to $161,207 for 2005 compared to $107,001 for 2004. The increase occurred as a result of the Company’s issuance of 473,377 shares of Series 3 Preferred Stock to eleven investors during February 2004 which thereby impacted 12 months of 2005 but only 8 months of 2004.

The Company was able to cover fixed manufacturing overhead costs and exceeded the break-even at the gross profit level. However, the Company must achieve cumulative annual unit sales of approximately 19.5 million female condoms based upon the current average selling price per unit in order to cover operating and non-operating expenses or approximately 32% of manufacturing capacity.

Factors That May Affect Operating Results and Financial Condition

The Company's future operating results and financial condition are dependent on the Company's ability to increase demand for the female condom and to cost-effectively manufacture sufficient quantities of the female condom. Inherent in this process are a number of factors that the Company must successfully manage in order to achieve favorable future results and improve its financial condition.


14


Reliance on a Single Product

The Company expects to derive the vast majority, if not all, of its future revenues from the female condom, its sole current product. While management believes the global potential for the female condom is significant, the ultimate level of consumer demand around the world is not yet known. To date, sales of the female condom have not been sufficient to cover the Company's operating costs.

Distribution Network

The Company's strategy is to act as a manufacturer and to develop a global distribution network for the product by seeking the global public sector and by completing partnership arrangements with companies with the necessary marketing and financial resources and local market expertise. To date, this strategy has resulted in numerous in-country distributions in the public sector, particularly in Africa and Latin America. Several partnership agreements have been completed for the commercialization of the female condom in private sector markets around the world. However, the Company is dependent on country governments, global donors, as well as city and state public health departments within the United States to continue their commitment to prevention of STDs, including AIDS, by including female condoms in their programs. The Company is also dependent on finding appropriate partners for the private sector markets around the world. Once an agreement is completed, the Company is reliant on the effectiveness of its partners to market and distribute the product. Failure by the Company's partners to successfully market and distribute the female condom or failure of country governments to implement prevention programs which include distribution of barrier methods against the AIDS crisis, or an inability of the Company to secure additional agreements for the AIDS crisis, or an inability of the Company to secure additional agreements for new markets either in the public or private sectors could adversely affect the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

Inventory and Supply

All of the key components for the manufacture of the female condom are essentially available from either multiple sources or multiple locations within a source.

Global Market and Foreign Currency Risks

The Company manufactures the female condom in a leased facility located in London, England and FC2 in a leased facility located in Malaysia. Further, a material portion of the Company's future sales are likely to be in foreign markets. Manufacturing costs and sales to foreign markets are subject to normal currency risks associated with changes in the exchange rate of foreign currencies relative to the United States dollar. For 2005, 76% of the Company’s net revenues, 88% of the Company’s cost of products sold and 43% of the Company’s operating expenses were affected by changes in the exchange rate of foreign currencies relative to the United States dollar. Approximately, 19% of net revenues in 2005 were to the Company’s customers in South Africa. On an ongoing basis, management continues to evaluate its commercial transactions and is prepared to employ currency hedging strategies when it believes such strategies are appropriate. In addition, some of the Company's future international sales may be in developing nations where dramatic political or economic changes are possible. Such factors may adversely affect the Company's results of operations and financial condition. For 2005, the Company estimates that the net adverse impact of the exchange rate fluctuations was not significant.


15


Government Regulation

The female condom is subject to regulation by the FDA pursuant to the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the "FDC Act"), and by other state and foreign regulatory agencies. Under the FDC Act, medical devices must receive FDA clearance before they can be sold. FDA regulations also require the Company to adhere to certain "Good Manufacturing Practices," which include testing, quality control and documentation procedures. The Company's compliance with applicable regulatory requirements is monitored through periodic inspections by the FDA. The failure to comply with applicable regulations may result in fines, delays or suspensions of clearances, seizures or recalls of products, operating restrictions, withdrawal of FDA approval and criminal prosecutions. The Company's operating results and financial condition could be materially adversely affected in the event of a withdrawal of approval from the FDA.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

Historically, the Company has incurred cash operating losses relating to expenses to develop, manufacture, and promote the female condom. Cash used in continuing operations was $0.2 million for 2005 and for 2004.

The Company has funded operating losses and capital requirements, in large part, through the sale of preferred stock, common stock or debt securities convertible into common stock.

While the Company believes that net revenues from sales of the female condom will exceed operating costs, and operations will generate sufficient funds to meet capital requirements, the Company can make no assurance that it will maintain such a level of operations in the near term or at all. If the Company does need to raise additional capital, the Company can make no assurance that the Company will be able to source required capital through the sale of debt or equity or, if raised, the amount will be sufficient to operate. In addition, any funds raised may be costly to the Company and/or dilutive to its shareholders.

In an effort to generate funds for operating needs and to retire existing debt, during September and November 2004 the Company conducted a program to induce several holders of the Company’s common stock warrants to exercise such warrants and receive an incentive of (1) shares of the Company's common stock equal to 10% of the aggregate number of common stock purchase warrants exercised or (2) new common stock purchase warrants equal to 20% of the aggregate number of outstanding warrants exercised containing an exercise price per share equal to the closing price of the Company's common stock as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board on the date the holder committed to exercise the outstanding warrants. Under this incentive program, one investor exercised 500,000 warrants as of September 30, 2004 and received 550,000 shares of common stock which includes 50,000 incentive shares. Between October and January 2005 four investors opted to exercise 1,000,000 warrants and receive 1,100,000 shares of common stock which include 100,000 incentive shares and two investors opted to exercise 1,200,000 warrants and receive 1,200,000 shares of common stock and 240,000 incentive common stock warrants. Among the seven accredited investors participating in this program three of the Company’s board of directors (Steve Dearholt, Richard Wenninger and O.B. Parrish) and the bank which held the Company’s outstanding promissory note (Heartland Bank). As a result of the exercise of the common stock warrants the Company received $2.5 million in aggregate proceeds. With the proceeds the Company paid off the remaining outstanding balance of its long term debt.

16



Presently, the Company has two revolving notes with Heartland Bank that allow the Company to borrow up to $1,500,000 and expire July 1, 2006. These notes were extended on July 20, 2005, at the same terms held when the notes initially became effective on May 19, 2004. These notes bear interest payable at a rate of prime plus 2% (prime rate was 6.75% at September 30, 2005). No new warrants were issued as part of the extension of these notes.  These notes are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company.  No amounts are outstanding  under the revolving notes at September 30, 2005.

Additionally, the Company entered into the following formal agreements during the past several fiscal years which it expects to contribute to continued improved sales volumes and operations.
 
On September 30, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Under this agreement, the Company may supply up to 25 million units of FC to USAID through December 31, 2006 principally for use in family planning programs supported by USAID in developing countries. USAID has ordered 3 million units of FC for delivery between September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2004 and has the option to order up to an additional 6 million units during that period. USAID also has the option to order up to 8 million units of FC for the 2005 and 2006 calendar years. USAID has the right to terminate the agreement at any time for its sole convenience, and no assurance can be given as to the amount of FC that USAID will purchase during the term of the agreement. As of December 19, 2005, USAID has purchased 3.5 million units.

On March 25, 2004, the Company announced the appointment of Global Protection Corporation (“Global”) as the exclusive distributor for public sector sales within a 9 state region in the eastern United States. Global is required to purchase 2.6 million units within a three year period to retain exclusive distribution rights. As of December 19, 2005, Global has purchased 678,000 units.

On December 18, 2001, the Company announced the three year appointment of Total Access Group (“TAG”) as the exclusive distributor for public sales within a 15 state region in the western United States. TAG was required to meet minimum unit purchase requirements within the three year period to retain exclusive distribution rights and achieved the required levels. As a result, effective January 1, 2005, TAG was rewarded a two year extension as the exclusive distributor for public sales within a 20 state region located between the Midwest and Western portion of the United States. TAG is now required to purchase 1.4 million units within the two year period to retain exclusive distribution rights. As of December 19, 2005, TAG has purchased 640,000 units under the extension.
 
As of December 19, 2005, the Company had approximately $1.6 million in cash, net trade accounts receivable of $1.4 million and current trade accounts payable of $0.9 million. Presently, the Company has no required debt service obligations. All principal payments were completed as of November 23, 2004.
 
If the Company is unable to raise adequate financing when needed, the Company may be required to sharply curtail the Company's efforts to promote the female condom, to attempt to sell certain of its assets and rights or to curtail certain of its operations and may ultimately be forced to cease operations. Currently, the Company is focused on growing its business and, therefore, the Company has made no plans to sell any assets nor has it identified any assets to be sold or potential buyers.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

Although the Company cannot accurately determine the precise effect of inflation, the Company has experienced increased costs of product, supplies, salaries and benefits, and increased general and administrative expenses. Historically, the Company has absorbed increased costs and expenses without increasing selling prices.

Item 7. Financial Statements.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto are filed under this item beginning on page F-1 of this report.

Item 8. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

Not applicable.

Item 8A. Controls and Procedures.
 
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Principal Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based on this evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective. It should be noted that in designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The Company has designed its disclosure controls and procedures to reach a level of reasonable assurance of achieving desired control objectives and, based on the evaluation described above, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective at reaching that level of reasonable assurance.
 
During the evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures conducted at the end of fiscal 2005, the Company's management determined that two material weaknesses within its internal control framework, which had previously been identified in 2003 and 2004, do not appear to still be present.


18


The first weakness related to the timeliness of accounting for certain transactions.  Equity transactions pertaining to outside consultants and new employees were not communicated in a timely manner to the Principal Accounting Officer by senior management. In the final stages of preparation of prior Form 10-KSB reports, as part of a reconciliation process, the Principal Accounting Officer discovered the excluded transactions and informed the Company’s external auditors of the proposed adjustments and their potential financial impact. Such issues were discovered at the end of both fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2004 and related to fourth quarter activity only. During the quarter following the discovery of each issue the Company discussed setting up a procedure to eliminate the possibility of future exceptions. No new weakness relating to the specific equity transactions have subsequently occurred.
 
The second weakness related to the adequacy of supervisory reviews. The lack of reviews resulted in adjustments being proposed during the year-end field work by the Company’s external auditors following the end of fiscal 2004. To remediate this weakness, beginning with the first quarter of the current fiscal year, the Principal Accounting Officer began reviewing all of the components of the U.K. balance sheet and income statement including material financial transactions. No new adjustments have been proposed by the Company’s external auditors during the current fiscal year related to the U.K. financials.
 
The Company is in the process of implementing Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. In doing so the above material weaknesses were addressed and remediated. In completing the evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's management concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the Company's most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Item 8B. Other Information.
 
Effective October 1, 2005, the Company entered into Amended and Restated Change of Control Agreements with O.B. Parrish, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mary Ann Leeper, the Company's President and Chief Operating Officer, and Michael Pope, the Company's Vice President.  These Amended and Restated Change of Control Agreements are described in more detail under Item 10 "Executive Compensation - Employment and Change of Control Agreements." These Amended and Restated Change of Control Agreements are attached to this report as Exhibits 10.78, 10.79 and 10.80 and are incorporated herein by reference.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on Forms 3, 4 and 5. Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Forms 3, 4 and 5 they file.

Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company, or written representations that no Forms 5 were required, the Company believes that during fiscal 2005 all section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with, except that Mr. Pope filed a Form 4 on December 19, 2005 reporting transactions occurring on October 4, 2005, October 18, 2005 and November 2, 2005.
 
Code of Ethics

Employment and Change of Control Agreements
 
The Company entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Leeper effective May 1, 1994. The original term of Dr. Leeper's employment extended to April 30, 1997 and after April 30, 1997 her employment term renews automatically for additional three-year terms unless notice of termination is given. The employment agreement has automatically renewed for a term ending on April 30, 2006, and Dr. Leeper has given notice that her employment agreement will terminate as of April 30, 2006. Dr. Leeper plans to continue as an employee of the Company and a senior strategic adviser focusing on the commercialization of FC2 and we are negotiating the terms of this arrangement. The Company may terminate the employment agreement at any time for cause. If Dr. Leeper's employment is terminated without cause, the Company is obligated to continue to pay Dr. Leeper her base salary and any bonus to which she would otherwise have been entitled for a period equal to the longer of two years from the date of termination or the remainder of the then applicable term of the employment agreement. In addition, the Company is obligated to continue Dr. Leeper's participation in any of the Company's health, life insurance or disability plans in which Dr. Leeper participated prior to her termination of employment. Dr. Leeper's employment agreement provides for a base salary of $175,000 for the first year of her employment term, $195,000 for the second year of her employment term and $225,000 for the third year of her employment term, subject to the achievement of performance goals established by Dr. Leeper and the Company's Board of Directors. If the employment agreement is renewed beyond the initial three-year term, it requires her base salary to be increased annually by the Board of Directors based upon her performance and any other factors that the Board of Directors considers appropriate. For fiscal 2003, Dr. Leeper's base salary was $225,000 per year. For fiscal 2004, the Board of Directors raised her base salary to $250,000 per year. Dr. Leeper's base salary for fiscal 2005 remained at $250,000 per year. The employment agreement also provides Dr. Leeper with various fringe benefits including an annual cash bonus of up to 100% of her base salary. The Board of Directors may award the cash bonus to Dr. Leeper in its discretion. To date, Dr. Leeper has not received a cash bonus.

28


Effective October 1, 2005, the Company entered into Amended and Restated Change of Control Agreements with each of O.B. Parrish, its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mary Ann Leeper, its President and Chief Operating Officer, and Michael Pope, its Vice President. These agreements essentially act as springing employment agreements which provide that, upon a change of control, as defined in the agreement, the Company will continue to employ the executive for a period of three years in the same capacities and with the same compensation and benefits as the executive was receiving prior to the change of control, in each case as specified in the agreements. If the executive is terminated without cause or if he or she quits for good reason, in each case as defined in the agreements, after the change of control, the executive is generally entitled to receive a severance payment from the Company equal to the amount of compensation remaining to be paid to the executive under the agreement for the balance of the three-year term.

The Company's equity compensation plans include the 1997 Stock Option Plan, the 1997 Outside Director Stock Option Plan, special option grants to three persons and warrant issuances to nine persons. All of the shares available for future issuance are under the Company's stock option plans. Shares of the Company's common stock are authorized for issuance under the 1997 Stock Option Plan to employees, officers and key executives of the Company and its subsidiaries and shares of the Company's common stock are authorized for issuance under the 1997 Outside Director Stock Option Plan to outside directors of the Company. The Board of Directors administers both plans. Options granted are nonqualified stock options under the Internal Revenue Code. Options expire at such time as the Board of Directors determines, provided that no stock option may be exercised later than the tenth anniversary of the date of its grant. Options cannot be exercised until the vesting period, if any, specified by the Board of Directors. Options are not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and may be exercised during the life of the participant only by him or her. The option price per share is determined by the Board of Directors, but cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date such option is granted.

Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

Between September 2004 and January 2005, the Company conducted a program to induce the holders of the Company’s outstanding common stock purchase warrants to exercise their warrants. Pursuant to this program, the Company offered an incentive to such holders providing for issuance of (1) shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 10% of the aggregate number of common stock purchase warrants exercised or (2) new common stock purchase warrants equal to 20% of the aggregate number of outstanding warrants exercised containing an exercise price per share equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board on the date the holder committed to exercise the outstanding warrants. Under this incentive program, one investor exercised 500,000 warrants as of September 30, 2004 and received 550,000 shares of common stock which includes 50,000 incentive shares. Between October 2004 and January 2005 four investors opted to exercise 1,000,000 warrants and receive 1,100,000 shares of common stock which includes 100,000 incentive shares and two investors opted to exercise 1,200,000 warrants and received 1,200,000 shares of common stock and 240,000 incentive warrants with an exercise price in each case of $1.50 per share and an expiration date of November 23, 2007. Among the seven persons participating in this program were three of the Company’s directors (Stephen M. Dearholt, Richard E. Wenninger and O.B. Parrish). The Company received aggregate proceeds of 2.5 million from the exercise of the outstanding warrants.

It has been and currently is the policy of the Company that transactions between the Company and its officers, directors, principal shareholders or affiliates are to be on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from unaffiliated parties. The Company intends that any future transactions between the Company and its officers, directors, principal shareholders or affiliates will be approved by a majority of the directors who are not financially interested in the transaction.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
The Female Health Company and Subsidiaries
Chicago, Illinois

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of The Female Health Company and Subsidiaries, as of September 30, 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provided a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Female Health Company and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The Female Health Company and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
 
Principles of consolidation and nature of operations: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, The Female Health Company - UK and The Female Health Company - UK, plc. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The Female Health Company ("FHC" or the "Company") is currently engaged in the marketing, manufacture and distribution of a consumer health care product known as the “FC Female Condom” in the U.S., and "femidom" or "femy" outside the U.S. The Female Health Company - UK, is the holding company of The Female Health Company - UK, plc, which operates a 40,000 sq. ft. leased manufacturing facility located in London, England.

The product is currently sold or available in either or both commercial (private sector) and public sector markets in 87 countries. The product is marketed in 14 countries by various country-specific commercial partners. The Company’s credit terms are primarily on a net 30-day basis.

Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and use assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Significant accounting estimates include the following:

The market value of inventory is based on management's best estimate of future sales and the time remaining before the existing inventories reach their expiration dates.

The Company evaluates patents for impairment by comparing the net present value of the asset's estimated future income stream to the asset's carrying value.

Although management uses the best information available, it is reasonably possible that the estimates used by the Company will be materially different from the actual results. These differences could have a material effect on the Company's future results of operations and financial condition.

Accounts receivable and credit risk: Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a periodic basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Management also periodically evaluates individual customer receivables and considers a customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received.

A significant portion of the Company’s product is being sold to developing countries and the stability of the political environment within these countries could have a material effect on the operations of the Company.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 
Note 1.
Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
Inventories: Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories are also written down for management’s estimates of product which will not sell prior to its expiration date. Write downs of inventories establish a new cost basis which is not increased for future increases in the market value of inventories or changes in estimated obsolescence.
 
Foreign currency translation: In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation, the financial statements of the Company's international subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date for assets and liabilities, the historical exchange rate for stockholders' equity and a weighted average exchange rate for each period for revenues, expenses, and gains and losses. Translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders' equity as the local currency is the functional currency.

Equipment and furniture and fixtures: Depreciation and amortization are computed using primarily the straight-line method. Depreciation and amortization are computed over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets which range as follows:

Equipment    5 - 10 years
Furniture and fixtures   3 years

Depreciation on leased assets and leasehold improvements is computed over the lesser of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets. Depreciation on leased assets is included with depreciation on owned assets.

Patents and trademarks: The Company currently holds product and technology patents on the female condom in the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, the European Patent Convention, Canada, the People’s Republic of China, Brazil, South Korea and Australia. The Company has the registered trademark "FC Female Condom" in the United States and has trademarks on the names "femidom," "femy," “Reality,” and others in certain foreign countries. Patents are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life of 12 years. Trademarks have no carrying value in the accompanying balance sheet at September 30, 2005.

Financial instruments: The Company has no financial instruments for which the carrying value materially differs from fair value.

Research and development costs: Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The amount of costs expensed for the years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, was approximately $274,000 and $179,000, respectively.

Revenue recognition: The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when each of the following conditions have been met: an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, there is a fixed price, and collectibility is reasonably assured.

Stock-based compensation: The value of stock options awarded to employees is measured using the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Accordingly, no stock-based compensation cost has been recognized, as all options granted under the Company’s stock option plans had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net losses and losses per share had compensation cost for all of the stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the grant date fair values of awards (the method prescribed by Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation):

Advertising: The Company's policy is to expense production costs in the period in which the advertisement is initially presented to consumers.

Income taxes: The Company files separate income tax returns for its foreign subsidiaries. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FAS 109), requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are also provided for carryforwards for income tax purposes. In addition, the amount of any future tax benefits is reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent such benefits are not expected to be realized.

Earnings per share (EPS): Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred shares or convertible debt and the exercise of stock options and warrants for all periods. The Company’s dilutive potential common shares were 2,836,472 for the twelve months ended September 30, 2005 and 5,596,617 for the twelve months ended September 30, 2004.

Other comprehensive income: Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as foreign currency translation adjustments, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

During the 4th quarter of 2004, the Company recorded an adjustment of $249,555 to comprehensive loss. This adjustment relates to the forgiveness of intercompany debt.

Over the years, the Parent Company has financed the operations of its subsidiaries through an intercompany loan with The Female Health Company, plc. which was eliminated upon consolidation. The Company has designated the intercompany loan to be long-term in nature as prescribed by FAS 52. Further, the Company followed the guidance of FAS 52 paragraph 20. b. when translating the subsidiary’s balance sheet for consolidation purposes. This paragraph states that “gains and losses on intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term investment nature (that is, settlement is not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future) would not be included in the computation of net income when the entities to the transaction are consolidated.”

The Parent Company forgave a portion of this loan and needed to adjust accumulated other comprehensive income on the balance sheet for the cumulative amount of foreign currency adjustments relating to this portion of the intercompany loan.

Since the currency effect of the change in the intercompany debt flowed through comprehensive income (loss) as income while the debt was outstanding, the Company recorded the currency effect of the debt forgiveness through comprehensive income (loss) as an expense when the debt was forgiven.

New accounting pronouncements: The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised), Share-Based Payment. SFAS 123(R) is a replacement of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related interpretive guidance.

SFAS 123(R) requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The effect of the standard will be to require entities to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for stock options based on the grant-date fair value of the award, and to recognize the cost over the period the employee is required to provide services for the award.

The Company will be required to apply Statement 123(R) as of the beginning of its interim reporting period that begins January 1, 2006.

Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
SFAS 123(R) allows two methods for determining the effects of the transition: the modified prospective transition method and the modified retrospective method of transition. Under the modified prospective transition method, an entity would use the fair value-based accounting method for all employee awards granted, modified, or settled after the effective date. As of the effective date, compensation cost related to the nonvested portion of awards outstanding as of that date would be based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated under the original provisions of Statement No. 123; that is, an entity would not remeasure the grant-date fair value estimate of the unvested portion of awards granted prior to the effective date of the final Statement. Under the modified retrospective method of transition, an entity would recognize employee compensation cost for prior periods presented in accordance with the original provisions of Statement No. 123; that is, an entity would recognize employee compensation cost in the amounts reported in the pro forma disclosures provided in accordance with Statement No. 123.

The Company will elect the modified prospective transition method. Under this method, the Company estimates that the adoption of FAS 123(R) will require the Company to record approximately $378,000 of stock compensation expense in the year ending September 30, 2006, related to employee options issued and outstanding at September 30, 2005.

Reclassifications: Certain items in the 2004 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 presentation. The reclassifications have had no effect on the net loss for the year then ended.

Note 4.
Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt
 
During 2003, the Company renewed a $1,000,000 note with Mr. Dearholt, a current director of the Company. The outstanding note payable bears interest at 12 percent and was payable in full in March 2004. As part of the transaction, the Company issued Mr. Dearholt warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.20 per share which represented 80 percent of the average trading price for the five trading days prior to the closing date for the transaction and resulted in an initial discount on the note of $278,400. Any stock issued under the warrants carries certain registration rights. The warrants expire in 2016. The discount, in combination with the note’s 12 percent coupon, resulted in an effective interest rate of 48 percent on the note. On February 29, 2004, the Company paid off the entire balance of the note.

On May 19, 2004, the Company amended its previous credit facility and two line of credit agreements with Heartland Bank and established three promissory notes totaling $2,500,000. The first promissory note replaces the previous credit facility, and had an initial outstanding balance of $1,000,000, bears interest payable at a rate of 10 percent per year and extended the due date of the credit facility to July 1, 2006. Related to this renewal the Company issued the Heartland Bank warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $2.65 per share. The warrants were valued at $51,961 and these were recorded by the Company as additional paid-in capital and a discount on the credit facility.

As of September 30, 2004, the Company had $500,000 remaining due under this credit facility. The credit facility is recorded at September 30, 2004, net of unamortized discount of $46,252. The remaining due amount of $500,000 was paid off as part of the warrant exercise program discussed in detail in Note 7, Common Stock Purchase Warrants.

Presently, the Company has two revolving notes with Heartland Bank that allow the Company to borrow up to $1,500,000 and expire July 1, 2006. The two notes total $1,500,000 and bear interest payable at a rate of prime plus 2% (prime rate was 6.75% at September 30, 2005). No new warrants were issued as part of the extension of these notes. These notes are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company.  No amounts are outstanding under the revolving notes at September 30, 2005.

Interest expense to related parties was $53,752 and $894,385 for the years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Operating Leases and Rental Expense
 
The Company has a lease agreement for office space with an unrelated third party which expires September 2006. The lease requires monthly payments of $6,055 plus real estate taxes, utilities, and maintenance expenses. The Company was required to make an initial security deposit of $115,000 which has been reduced to $23,000 in October 2004. The security deposit is in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit from a bank. The bank presently requires the Company to hold a $23,000 certificate of deposit as collateral for the letter of credit.
 
On December 10, 1996, the Company entered into what is in essence a sale and leaseback agreement with respect to its 40,000 square foot manufacturing facility located in London, England. The Company received $3,365,000 (£1,950,000) for leasing the facility to a third party for a nominal annual rental charge and for providing the third party with an option to purchase the facility for one pound during the period December 2006 to December 2027.
 
As part of the same transaction, the Company entered into an agreement to lease the facility back from the third party for base rents of $474,474 (£268,125) per year payable quarterly until 2016. The lease is renewable through December 2027. The Company was also required to make an initial security deposit of $396,021 (£268,125) which has been reduced to $172,536 (£97,500) and is included in other assets in the balance sheet at September 30, 2005. The facility had a net book value of $1,398,819 (£810,845) on the date of the transaction. The $1,966,181 (£1,139,155) gain which resulted from this transaction will be recognized ratably over the initial term of the lease. Unamortized deferred gain as of September 30, 2005, was $1,134,003 (£697,777).
 
On June 1, 2005, the Company entered into a lease agreement to utilize 1900 square feet of a facility located in Selangor D.E., Malaysia for warehousing and manufacturing FC2. The lease requires an annual payment of $6,840 and the lease expires May 31, 2006. The lease shall automatically renew for an additional six month period, unless either party gives written notice of termination. The Company was not required to make an initial security deposit.

The Company also leases equipment under a lease agreement which expires in March 2006. The aggregate monthly rental was $943 at September 30, 2005.

The Company granted 195,000 options in 2005 and 10,000 options in 2004 to employees and outside board of directors with exercise prices equal to fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. Therefore, no compensation expense was recognized related to these options under APB 25 at the date of grant.

The weighted average fair value of employee options granted for the years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, was $1.33 and $2.10, respectively. The fair value of options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming expected volatilities ranging from 47.9 percent to 52.8 percent, respectively, and risk-free interest rates ranging from 3.98 percent to 4.78 percent, respectively, expected lives of three years and no dividend yield for the years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics different from those of traded options, and because changes in the input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, the model may not provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants

The Company enters into consulting agreements with separate third-party professionals to provide investor relations services and financial advisory services. In connection with the consulting agreements, the Company has historically granted warrants to purchase common stock, although none were issued in 2004 or 2005.

Common Stock (Continued)
 
In an effort to generate funds for operating needs and to retire outstanding debt, between September 2004 and January 2005, the Company conducted a program to induce the holders of the Company’s outstanding common stock purchase warrants to exercise their warrants. Pursuant to this program, the Company offered an incentive to such holders providing for issuance of (1) shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 10% of the aggregate number of common stock purchase warrants exercised or (2) new common stock purchase warrants equal to 20% of the aggregate number of outstanding warrants exercised containing an exercise price per share equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board on the date the holder committed to exercise the outstanding warrants. Under this incentive program, one investor exercised 500,000 warrants as of September 30, 2004 and received 550,000 shares of common stock which includes 50,000 incentive shares. The shares were valued at $75,000 and the shares were recorded by the Company in selling, general and administrative expense.

Between October 2004 and January 2005 four investors opted to exercise 1,000,000 warrants and receive 1,100,000 shares of common stock which includes 100,000 incentive shares and two investors opted to exercise 1,200,000 warrants and received 1,200,000 shares of common stock and 240,000 incentive warrants with an exercise price in each case of $1.50 per share and an expiration date of November 23, 2007. Among the seven persons participating in this program were three of the Company’s directors. The Company received aggregate proceeds of $2.5 million from the exercise of the outstanding warrants. The incentive shares and warrants were valued at $342,076 and recorded by the Company in selling, general and administrative expense.

As a result of the inducement program, during 2005, 2,200,000 warrants were exercised. At September 30, 2005, the following warrants were outstanding and exercisable:

Preferred Stock
 
The Company has 56,000 outstanding shares of 8 percent cumulative convertible Series 1 Preferred Stock. Each share of preferred stock is convertible into one share of the Company's common stock. Annual preferred stock dividends will be paid if and as declared by the Company's Board of Directors. No dividends or other distributions will be payable on the Company's common stock unless dividends are paid in full on the Series 1 Preferred Stock. The Series 1 Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of FHC, in whole or in part, subject to certain conditions, at $2.50 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends. In the event of a liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the Series 1 Preferred Stock would have priority over the Company's common stock.

The Company issued 473,377 shares of Series 3 Preferred Stock to eleven investors during February 2004 and received $1,500,602 in proceeds. Each share of Series 3 Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into one share of the Company’s common stock. Holders of shares of the Series 3 Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends in preference to any dividend on the Company’s common stock at the rate of 10 percent of the original issuance price ($3.17 per share) per annum, payable quarterly at the Company’s option in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock. If dividends are paid in shares of common stock, the dividend rate will be equal to 95 percent of the average of the closing sales prices of the common stock on the five trading days preceding the dividend reference date. The dividend reference date means January 1, April 1, July 1, October 1 of each year. In the event of a liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the Series 3 Preferred Stock would have priority over the Company’s common stock and holders of any other series of preferred stock of the Company. The Company may redeem any share of Series 3 Preferred Stock at any time that is after the second anniversary of the date of issuance of the share, provided that the redemption may not occur until the first day on or after the second anniversary of the date of issuance of such share in which the market value of the Company’s common stock is at least 150 percent of the original issuance price of $3.17 per share. The liquidation preference on the Series 3 Preferred Stock is $3.17 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends.
