PART I

Item 1.    Description of Business

General

The Female Health Company ("FHC" or the "Company") manufactures, markets and sells the female condom (FC), the only product approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under a woman's control which provides dual protection against 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 through various channels in 108 countries. It is commercially marketed directly to consumers in 10 countries by various country specific partners, including in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and France. Currently, public sector female condom programs in various stages are ongoing in over 90 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-to-skin contact during intercourse. FC is pre-lubricated and disposable and is recommended for use during a single sex act.

In September, 2005, FHC announced that it had completed development of FC2, its second generation female condom. FC2 has the same physical design, specifications, safety and efficacy profile as FC. Manufactured from a nitrile polymer, FC2 can be produced more economically than the first generation product. FC2 has received the CE Mark which allows the Company to market FC2 throughout the European Union ("EU"). In August 2006, the Company was notified by the World Health Organization (WHO) that after a stringent technical review process regarding design, product characteristics, quality control and manufacturing technology, FC2 is in principle being manufactured to at least the same standard as the polyurethane female condom, FC. In addition, the design and physical characteristics of FC2, supported by the clinical data, suggest that FC and FC2 are functionally equivalent, when used correctly. Based on this assessment WHO has stated that FC2 is acceptable for bulk procurement by UN agencies subject to the standard quality assurance measures being applied prior to procurement. FHC plans to submit a supplement for FC2 to its original Pre-Market Approval (PMA) to the FDA early in 2007.

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.

The principal raw material used to produce FC2 is a nitrile polymer. This material is generally available from a number of suppliers, but the Company has chosen to concentrate its purchases from a single supplier.

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”) in its December 2006 Aids Epidemic Update reported that 39.5 million people globally were living with HIV. In 2006, 4.3 million people were newly infected with HIV and 2.9 million people died of the disease. This is an increase of 2.6 million from 2004. Women now comprise the majority of the new cases in many areas of the world. In a recently published paper by Dr. Colin Mathers and Dejan Loncar of the WHO, “Projections of Global Mortality and Burden of Disease from 2002 to 2030," they estimate that at least 117 million people will have died of or will have AIDS by 2030.
 
The Condom Market

The global male condom market (public and private sector) is estimated to be $3 billion. The global public sector market for male condoms is estimated to be between 6 and 9 billion units annually. Given the rapid spread of HIV/AIDS in India and China, UNAIDS estimates that the annual public sector demand for condoms, both male and female, will reach 19 billion units within the next ten years

The FC Female Condom and the Male Condom

Currently, there are only three FDA approved products marketed that prevent the transmission of HIV/AIDS through sexual intercourse: the male latex condom, the male polyurethane condom and the FC female polyurethane condom. FC is the only FDA approved product controlled by women that prevents sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS. It provides women dual protection against STD’s (including HIV/AIDS) and unintended pregnancy. It is also an alternative when male condoms are not used for reasons of latex sensitivity or choice.


6


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 the 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 enhance pleasure and sensation during use. Unlike the male condom, FC may be inserted in advance of arousal, eliminating disruption during sexual intimacy. The product also offers an alternative to latex sensitive users (7% to 20% of the population) who are unable to use male condoms without irritation. To the Company's knowledge, there is no reported allergy to polyurethane to date. FC2, made from synthetic nitrile, has the same physical design, specifications, safety and efficacy profile as the FC female polyurethane condom.

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.

In October 2006, a study regarding FC2 entitled “County-wide distribution of the nitrile female condom (FC2) in Brazil and South Africa: a cost effectiveness analysis” was published in AIDS. The study concludes that expanded distribution of FC2 in Brazil and South Africa may avert hundreds to thousands of HIV infections annually at an incremental cost to government or donors that is less than that of antiretroviral therapy. The study also found that if only 16.6 million female condoms were distributed in South Africa, almost 10,000 HIV infections would be prevented. If 53.7 million female condoms were distributed, 32,000 HIV infections would be prevented. Comparing the dollar value of health care costs averted with the cost of distributing the female condoms, the total cost savings would be between $5.3 million and $35.7 million. Similarly, if 26.2 million condoms were distributed in Brazil, 600 HIV infections would be averted. If 84.8 million condoms were distributed, 2,000 new HIV infections would be prevented. In total, the savings in Brazil alone could range from $1.1 million to $27 million.

Female Condom Reuse

Studies have shown that FC can be reused up to five times. WHO’s website includes the proper procedure for the washing and preparation of FC if it is going to be reused. WHO, UNAIDS and FHC concur that FC should only be reused when a new female condom is not available. FC2 is not reusable.


7


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 European Union. 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 in the U.S. market. 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.

FC2 received the CE mark which allows it to be marketed throughout the European Union. FC2 has also been approved by Indian Regulatory authorities. The Company plans to submit a supplement for FC2 to its original PMA to the FDA early in calendar 2007.

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 and FC2.

Strategy

The Company’s strategy is to fully develop the market for FC and FC2 on a global basis. In doing so, it has developed contacts and relationships with global public health sector organizations such as WHO, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), UNAIDS, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), country-specific health ministries and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and commercial partners in various countries. To provide its customers with technical sales support, the Company has placed representatives in the major regions of the world: Asia, Africa, Europe, North America and Latin America. The Company manufactures the first generation product, FC, in London, England.

Because customers assume shipping and marketing expenses, volume increases will have little impact on the Company’s operating expenses.

To accelerate market penetration and increase volume, the Company developed FC2, a nitrile polymer product which is less costly to manufacture than FC. FC2 is currently being produced in Selangor D.E., Malaysia. In August 2006, the Company received notice from WHO that after a stringent technical review process regarding design, product characteristics, quality control and manufacturing technology, FC2 is in principle being manufactured to at least the same standard as the polyurethane female condom, FC. In addition, the design and physical characteristics of FC2, supported by the clinical data, suggest that FC and FC2 are functionally equivalent, when used correctly. Based on this assessment, WHO has stated that FC2 is acceptable for bulk procurement by UN agencies subject to the standard measures being applied prior to procurement. FHC plans to submit a supplement for FC2 to its original PMA to the FDA early in calendar 2007.

Commercial Markets - Direct to Consumers

The Company markets FC directly in the United Kingdom. The Company has distribution agreements with commercial partners which market directly to consumers in 10 countries, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, Spain, France and India. These agreements are generally exclusive for a single country. Under these agreements, the Company manufactures and sells FC to the distributor partners, who, in turn market and distribute the product to consumers in the established territory.

On March 28, 2006, the Company signed an agreement with Fuji Latex, one of the largest male condom manufacturers and distributors in Japan, appointing Fuji Latex as FHC’s exclusive marketer and distributor of the female condom in Japan. The Company and Fuji Latex had previously signed an agreement to manage the importation and quality control of FC under Japanese regulatory requirements, which began repositioning the FC female condom’s availability in Japan. Fuji Latex has initiated commercial distribution of the FC in Japan.

On May 9, 2006, the Company announced it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Hindustan Latex Limited (HLL), a Government of India Enterprise, to negotiate, in good faith, formal agreements related to the manufacture of FC2, the Company’s second generation product, in India. Negotiations are currently underway. In May 2006, HLL introduced the FC to consumers under the name Confidom Passion Rings. HLL markets the product as India’s first female condom for safe sex and contraception, targeting high-end upwardly mobile consumers. FC, already available in three major cities, will be introduced sequentially into a total of 34 cities within India. HLL is the Company’s exclusive distributor in India.

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 can be negotiated each year based on the Company's cost of production. The current price per unit ranges between £0.38 and £0.445 (British pounds sterling), or approximately $0.74 to $0.87. Under the agreement, UNAIDS and the Company cooperate in educational efforts and marketing FC in developing countries. Sales of FC are made directly to international public agencies and to public health authorities in each country at the price established by the agreement with UNAIDS. The agreement expires on December 31, 2006, but is automatically renewed for one year unless either party gives at least 90 days prior written notice of termination. FC is available in approximately 92 countries through public sector distribution.

In May 2006, the Company received an initial order for 500,100 FC female condoms from the National Aids Control Organization (NACO) of the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India. The order was placed through UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund. The female condoms will be used in NACO’s Reproductive Health and HIV/AIDS prevention programs and distribution will initially be focused on commercial sex workers in six high prevalence states in India. In May 2006, India was reported as having 6.1 million HIV/AIDS cases, less than 1% of its 1 billion plus population, but the largest HIV population in the world. UNAIDS reported in 2005 that a significant portion of new infections in India are occurring in women who are married and who have been infected by husbands who frequent sex workers. UNAIDS further states that commercial sex serves as a major driver of the epidemic in most parts of India. The Indian Government is implementing prevention programs to preclude what happened in some sub-Saharan Africa countries where more than 20% of the population is HIV positive.

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

FC
The Company manufactures FC in a 40,000 square-foot leased facility in London, England. Manufacturing capacity at this facility is expandable to 60 million units per year at a capital expenditure of less than $1 million for the purchase of additional equipment.

FC2
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 7.5 million units per year. A second manufacturing line, scheduled to be in production in February 2007, will bring the Malaysian facility’s capacity to 15 million units per annum.
 

10


The Company’s India-based FC2 end-stage production capacity will be located at a facility owned by its India business partner, Hindustan Latex Limited (HLL). The Company expects that production, at an initial capacity of 7.5 million units annually, will be operational early in calendar 2007.

FHC will bring its FC2 production capacity to 22.5 million units annually during the first quarter of calendar 2007. The Company intends to expand its capacity at existing locations and/or manufacture at additional locations as the demand for FC2 develops.

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. FHC plans to submit a supplement for FC2 to its original PMA to the FDA early in calendar 2007.

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 Ltd. ("MP"), a male latex condom company with a manufacturing facility in Chennai, India, has developed a natural latex female condom. MP's female condom has been marketed under various names including V-Amour, VA Feminine Condom and L’Amour. USAID and Family Health International (FHI) are currently evaluating the MP female condom for consideration to move into Phase 3 clinical study. The manufacturing process has a CE mark for distribution in Europe and may be available in other countries. MP received the Indian Drug Controller approval 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 may 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.


11


Patents and Trademarks

The Company currently holds product and technology patents for FC 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. Patent applications for FC2 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, 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. The Company has registered the trademark “FC2 Female Condom” in the United States.

Employees

As of December 15, 2006, the Company had 159 full-time employees, all but four of whom are located in the U.S. or the U.K., and no part-time employees. No Company employees are represented by a labor union. The Company believes that its employee relations are good.

Backlog

At December 15, 2006, the orders to be shipped totaled $4,802,000 for FC and $2,528,000 for FC2, or a total of $7,330,000. The comparable amount as of the same date of the prior year was $3,940,000. Unfilled orders materially fluctuate from quarter to quarter, and include orders with requested delivery dates later in fiscal 2007. The Company expects current unfilled orders to be filled during fiscal 2007.

Research and Development

The Company incurred approximately $211,000 of research and development costs in fiscal 2006 and $274,000 of research and development costs in fiscal 2005. Such expenditures pertained to the Company’s need to conduct acceptability studies and analyze second generation products.

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 124 million female condoms around the world.

Item 2.    Description of Property

The Company leases approximately 5,100 square feet of office space at 515 North State Street, Suite 2225, Chicago, IL 60610. The lease expires October 31, 2011. 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 FC 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 U.K. facility can be expanded to 60 million units annually at a capital expenditure of less than $1 million for the purchase of additional equipment. The Company manufactures and warehouses FC2 within 1,900 square feet of a leased facility located in Selangor D.E., Malaysia. The Malaysian lease, which expires May 31, 2007, automatically renews for an additional six month period unless either party gives written notice of termination. The Company expects the Malaysian facility to produce at an annual rate of approximately 15 million units per year by the first quarter of calendar 2007. Management believes the properties are adequately insured.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

In January 2006, the Company issued 150,000 shares of common stock to an outside consultant to provide investor relations services to the Company for the 2006 calendar year. Additionally, in June 2006, the Company appointed a public relations firm to assist the Company in developing an investor relations program. The Company issued 20,000 shares of its common stock in part for payment of such services. In July 2006, the Company issued 200,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock to a consultant in part for payment to assist in evaluating strategic growth opportunities. These warrants have an exercise price of $1.30 per share and expire on July 14, 2016. The Company believes that the issuances of the common stock and warrants in connection with the performance of services to the Company 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

The Company manufactures, markets and sells the FC female condom, the only FDA-approved product under a woman's control which provides dual protection against unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV/AIDS. During 2003, the Company started developing a second generation female condom, FC2, which was completed in 2005. The Company believes that FC2 will result in a significant reduction in production costs and accelerate growth.

Revenues. The Company's revenues are derived from sales of the female condom, its only product, and are recognized upon shipment of the product to its customers. The Company's strategy is to develop a global market and distribution network for its product by completing partnership arrangements with companies with the necessary marketing and financial resources and local market expertise. The Company's customers include the following:
 
l    The Company sells the female condom to the global public sector under the umbrella of its agreement with UNAIDS. This agreement facilitates the availability and distribution of the female condom at a reduced price based on the Company's cost of production. The current price per unit ranges between £0.38 and £0.445 (British pounds sterling), or approximately $0.74 to $0.87. Currently, the female condom is available in approximately 92 countries through public sector distribution.
 
 
l
The Company sells the female condom in the United States to city and state public health clinics as well as not-for-profit organizations such as Planned Parenthood.

The Company sells the female condom in the commercial private sector principally through distribution partners. Currently the female condom is currently available through various channels in 108 countries and is commercially marketed directly to consumers in 10 countries, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, Spain, France and India.

 
l
On September 30, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to supply up to 25 million units of FC during the term of the contract, which originally expired on December 31, 2006 and was later extended until March 31, 2007. The product would be used primarily in USAID HIV/AIDS prevention programs in developing countries. In 2006, USAID exercised the option to procure six million incremental units within the calendar year. Between the inception of the agreement and December 18, 2006, the Company has shipped USAID 8.3 million units and estimates the number of to be units purchased to be 11.7 million.

On March 25, 2004, the Company appointed Global Protection Corporation as the exclusive distributor of the female condom for public sector sales within a nine-state region in the eastern United States. Global Protection Corporation is required to purchase 2.6 million units within a three-year period to retain exclusive distribution rights. As of December 18, 2006, the Company had sold Global Protection Corporation 1.1 million units of its minimum purchase requirement.

 
l
On December 18, 2001, the Company announced the three year appointment of Total Access Group as the exclusive distributor for public sales within a 15 state region in the western United States. Total Access Group 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, Total Access Group received 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. Total Access Group is now required to purchase 1.4 million units within the two year period to retain exclusive distribution rights. As of December 18, 2006, Total Access Group has purchased 1.0 million units under the extension.

 
l
On May 9, 2006, the Company announced that it had entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Hindustan Latex Limited, or HLL, a Government of India Enterprise, to negotiate, in good faith, formal agreements related to the manufacture of FC2 in India. Negotiations are currently underway. In May 2006, HLL introduced the female condom to consumers under the name Confidom Passion Rings. HLL markets the product as India’s first female condom for safe sex and contraception, targeting high-end upwardly mobile consumers. FC, already available in three major cities, will be introduced eventually into a total of 34 cities within India. HLL is the Company's exclusive distributor in India.

 
l
In May 2006, the Company received an initial order for 500,100 female condoms from the National Aids Control Organization of the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India. The order was placed through UNFPA, the United Nations Populations Fund. The female condoms will be used in National Aids Control Organization's Reproductive Health and HIV/AIDS prevention programs and distribution will initially be focused on commercial sex workers in six high prevalence states in India. In May 2006, India was reported as having 6.1 million HIV/AIDS cases, less than 1% of its 1 billion plus population, making India the largest HIV population in the world. UNAIDS reported in 2005 that a significant portion of new infections in India are occurring in women who are married and who have been infected by husbands who frequent sex workers. UNAIDS further states that commercial sex serves as a major driver of the epidemic in most parts of India. The Indian Government is implementing prevention programs to preclude what happened in some sub-Saharan Africa countries where more than 20% of the population is HIV positive.

Significant quarter to quarter variations may result from time to time due to the timing and shipment of large orders and not any fundamental change in the Company's business. Because the Company manufactures FC in a leased facility located in London, England and FC2 in a leased facility located in Malaysia, a portion of the Company's operating costs occur in foreign markets. While a material portion of the Company's future sales are likely to be in foreign markets, all sales are denominated in British pounds sterling or United States dollars. Manufacturing costs and sales to foreign markets are subject to normal currency risks associated with changes in the exchange rate of British pounds sterling relative to the United States dollar. For 2006, 58% of the Company's net revenues, 88% of the Company's cost of products sold and 28% of the Company's operating expenses were affected by changes in the exchange rate of British pounds sterling relative to the United States dollar. Approximately, 18% of net revenues in 2006 were to the Company's customers in Brazil, whose purchases are denominated in U.S. dollars. On an ongoing basis, management continues to evaluate the Company's commercial transactions and is prepared to employ currency hedging strategies when it believes such strategies are appropriate. For 2006, the Company estimated that the net adverse impact of the exchange rate fluctuations was not significant.

Expenses. The Company manufactures FC at its facility located in the United Kingdom and FC2 at its facility located in Selangor D.E., Malaysia. The Company's cost of products sold consist primarily of direct material costs, direct labor costs and indirect production and distribution costs. Direct material costs include raw materials used to make the female condom, principally polyurethane for FC and a latex hybrid for FC2. Indirect product costs include logistics, quality control, and maintenance expenses, as well as costs for helium, nitrogen, electricity and other utilities.  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.
 
The Company has experienced increased costs of products, supplies, salaries and benefits, and increased general and administrative expenses. In 2005 and 2006, the Company has, where possible, increased selling prices to offset such increases in costs.

As noted above, the Company's manufacturing costs are subject to currency risks associated with changes in the exchange rate of British pounds sterling relative to the United States dollar. To date, the Company's management has not deemed it necessary to utilize currency hedging strategies to manage its currency risks. A decrease of the value of the U.S. dollar compared to British pounds sterling has the effect of increasing the Company's cost of sales and decreasing its gross profit margin.

Operating Highlights. The Company's net revenues have increased in recent periods. The Company had net revenues of $14,824,242 in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 as compared to net revenues of $11,161,555 in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005.

The Company had positive cash flow from operations of $0.3 million during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006.  In fiscal 2005, the Company had negative cash flows from operations of $0.2.


18


In fiscal 2005, the Company had a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $(1,516,863) or $(0.07) per share for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005. The Company had net income attributable to common stockholders of $120,778 or $0.01 per share in fiscal 2006. Based on the level of the Company's expenses and the average selling price per unit in fiscal 2006, the Company must achieve cumulative annual unit sales of approximately 19.5 million female condoms to cover operating and non-operating expenses. The Company had unit sales of 19.6 million in fiscal 2006.

Results of Operations

Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2006 ("2006") Compared to Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2005 ("2005")

The Company had net revenues of $14,824,242 and net income attributable to common stockholders of $120,778 or $0.01 per share in 2006 compared to 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.

Gross profit increased $1,445,577, or 36%, to $5,489,410 for 2006 from $4,043,833 for 2005. The increase was a result of expanding net revenues more than offsetting the increase in fixed and variable costs incurred to manufacture the Company's product in 2006.

Net revenues increased $3,662,687, or 33%, in 2006 over the prior year. The higher net revenues resulted from increased demand from global public sector customers. The increased global public sector shipments in the countries of Brazil, Zimbabwe and Tanzania were partially offset by slightly reduced purchasing from South Africa, Botswana and France.

Cost of products sold increased $2,217,110, or 31%, to $9,334,832 for 2006 from $7,117,722 for 2005. The increase in cost of products sold is a result of a significant increase in volume and a slight increase in manufacturing costs.

Advertising and promotional expenditures increased $95,397 to $218,500 for 2006 from $123,103 for 2005. The increase relates to the cost of engaging a public relations firm, beginning in the third quarter of 2005 and continuing throughout fiscal 2006, to promote FC2 and communicate the Company’s global contribution to woman’s health.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $138,529, or 3%, from $4,958,208 in 2005 to $4,819,679 in 2006. The decrease resulted from reductions in amortization expense, reduced consulting fees and expense reimbursement from the BLCF grant which were partially offset by higher employee compensation costs. Amortization expense declined as intangible assets became fully amortized during the second quarter of 2006. Consulting fees dropped at the conclusion of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance preparation activities, early in 2006.

Research and development costs decreased $62,900 to $210,876 in 2006 from $273,776 in 2005. The costs in 2005 and, to a lesser extent, the costs in 2006 primarily relate to expenses related to the safety and acceptability studies for the FC2 program and establishing manufacturing capacity in Malaysia and India.

19


The Company's operating income increased $1,551,609 to $240,355 in 2006 from $(1,311,254) in 2005 due to the improved gross profit coupled with a slight decrease in operating expenses. Total operating expenses decreased $106,032 from $5,355,087 in 2005 to $5,249,055 in 2006 as a result of decreases in selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses which were offset slightly by an increase in advertising and promotional expenses.

In the category of net interest and miscellaneous income/expense, the Company recorded income of $41,671 for 2006 compared to $44,402 of expense for 2005. The improvement was a result of debt elimination during the latter part of the first quarter of 2005 and an increase in interest income as a result of improved cash flow in 2006

By reaching annual unit sales of 19.6 million female condoms in 2006 the Company was able to cover fixed manufacturing overhead costs, exceed break-even at the gross profit level, and cover operating and non-operating expenses.

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.

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. In 2006, sales of the female condom were sufficient to cover the Company's operating costs.

Distribution Network

The Company's strategy is to develop a global distribution network for the female condom by entering into partnership arrangements with financially secure companies with appropriate marketing expertise. This strategy has resulted in numerous in-country distributions in the public sector, particularly in Africa, Latin America and recently India. The Company has also entered into several partnership agreements for the commercialization of the female condom in consumer sector markets around the world. However, the Company is dependent on country governments, global donors, as well as U.S. municipal and state public health departments to continue AIDS/HIV/STD prevention programs that include female condoms as a component of such programs. The Company’s commercial market penetration is dependent on its ability to identify appropriate business partners who will effectively market and distribute the female condom within its contractual territory. Failure by the Company's partners to successfully market and distribute the female condom or failure of country governments to establish and sustain HIV/AIDS prevention programs which include distribution of female condoms, the Company’s inability to secure additional agreements with global AIDS prevention organizations, or the Company’s inability to secure agreements in new markets, either in the public or private sectors, could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.


20


On September 30, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to supply USAID with up to 25 million units of FC during the term of the contract. The contract, which originally had a three year term scheduled to expire on December 31, 2006, has been extended until March 31, 2007. The female condom is used primarily in USAID HIV/AIDS prevention programs in developing countries. USAID also has the option to order up to 8 million units of FC for the 2006 calendar year. In 2006, USAID exercised a contract option allowing it to procure six million incremental units within a calendar year. Between the inception of the agreement and December 18, 2006, the Company has shipped USAID 8.3 million units. The Company estimates total units purchased under the contract to be 11.7 million.

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 18, 2006, Global has purchased 1.1 million 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 was required to purchase 1.4 million units within the two year period to retain exclusive distribution rights. As of December 18, 2006, TAG has purchased 1.0 million units under the extension. Presently, the Company is in the process of negotiating a new four year extension with TAG which the Company anticipates will become effective in January 2007.
 
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 FC in a leased facility located in London, England and FC2 in a leased facility located in Malaysia. 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 2006, 58% of the Company’s net revenues, 88% of the Company’s cost of products sold and 28% of the Company’s operating expenses were affected by changes in the exchange rate of foreign currencies relative to the United States dollar. Approximately, 18% of net revenues in 2006 were to customers in Brazil, whose purchases are denominated in U.S. dollars.

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 2006, the Company estimates that the net impact of the exchange rate fluctuations was not significant.

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. However, in 2006 the Company generated $0.3 million in positive cash flow from operations as a result of increased sales volume and reduced operating and non-operating expenses. In 2005 cash used in operations was $0.2 million.
 
In prior years, 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.

At September 30, 2006, the Company had working capital of $5.0 million and stockholder’s equity of $4.8 million compared to working capital of $3.8 million and stockholder’s equity of $3.3 million as of September 30, 2005.

The Company believes its current cash position is adequate to fund operations of the Company in the near future, although no assurances can be made that such cash will be adequate. However, the Company may sell equity securities to raise additional capital and may borrow funds under its Heartland Bank credit facility.

Presently, the Company has two revolving notes with Heartland Bank that allow the Company to borrow up to $1,500,000 and expire on July 1, 2007. These notes were extended under the same terms as the initial notes dated May 19, 2004, with the exception of the interest rate which has been reduced to prime plus 1% (prime rate was 8.25% at September 30, 2006). 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 were outstanding under the revolving notes at September 30, 2006.

As of December 18, 2006, the Company had approximately $1.5 million in cash, net trade accounts receivable of $3.2 million and current trade accounts payable of $1.6 million. Presently, the Company has no required debt service obligations.

 
22

 
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. In 2005 and 2006 the Company has, where possible, increased selling prices to offset such increases in costs.

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 Chief Financial 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 Chief Financial 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 Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective at reaching that level of reasonable assurance.
 
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.

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.

The Company issued two options to purchase an aggregate of 150,000 shares of common stock to a consultant as compensation for certain services provided by the consultant to the Company with an exercise price of $0.66 per share for each option and an expiration date of December 31, 2011 as to 50,000 shares and June 30, 2012 as to 100,000 shares.
 
In July 2006, the Company issued 200,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock to a consultant in part for payment to assist in evaluating strategic growth opportunities. These warrants have an exercise price of $1.30 per share and expire on July 14, 2016.

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.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company considered that the provision of the services and the payment of the fees described above are compatible with maintaining the independence of McGladrey & Pullen, LLP.

The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and pre-approving any non-audit services to be performed by the Company's independent auditors. The Audit Committee has delegated its pre-approval authority to the Chairman of the Audit Committee to act between meetings of the Audit Committee. Any pre-approval given by the Chairman of the Audit Committee pursuant to this delegation is presented to the full Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee or Chairman of the Audit Committee reviews and, if appropriate, approves non-audit service engagements, taking into account the proposed scope of the non-audit services, the proposed fees for the non-audit services, whether the non-audit services are permissible under applicable law or regulation and the likely impact of the non-audit services on the independence of the independent auditors.

Each new engagement of the Company's independent auditors to perform non-audit services set forth in the table above has been approved in advance by the Audit Committee or the Chairman of the Audit Committee pursuant to the foregoing procedures.

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, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. 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 provide 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, 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
Note 1.
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 108 countries. The product is marketed in 10 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.

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.

Cash concentration: Substantially all of the Company’s cash is maintained in one financial institution located in London, England.

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.

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, 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. Patents and trademarks have no carrying value in the accompanying balance sheet at September 30, 2006.

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, 2006 and 2005, was approximately $211,000 and $274,000, respectively.

Restricted cash: Restricted cash relates to security provided to one of the Company’s U.K. banks for performance bonds issued in favor of customers. Such security has been extended infrequently and only on occasions where it has been a contract term expressly stipulated as an absolute requirement by the funds’ provider. The expiration of the bond is defined by the completion of the event such as, but not limited to, delivery of goods or at a period of time after product has been distributed.

Revenue recognition: The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when each of the following conditions has 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 and the exercise of stock options and warrants and upon restrictions lapsing on contingent shares, for all periods.

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.

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.”

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 October 1, 2006.

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 SFAS 123(R) will require the Company to record approximately $125,000 of stock compensation expense in the year ending September 30, 2007, related to employee options issued and outstanding at September 30, 2006, and those issued by the Company subsequent to year-end.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
Note 1.
Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
 
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 developed a two-step process to evaluate a tax position and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.  This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  Management has not yet determined the impact that adoption will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  The requirements of SFAS 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS 157 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108. The intent of SAB 108 is to reduce diversity in practice for the method companies use to quantify financial statement misstatements, including the effect of prior year uncorrected errors. SAB 108 establishes an approach that requires quantification of financial statement errors using both an income statement and cumulative balance sheet approach. The requirements of SAB No. 108 are effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Company does not believe the adoption of SAB 108 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications: Certain items in the 2005 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation. The reclassifications have had no effect on the net income (loss) for the years then ended.

As a result of the patents becoming fully amortized as of March 31, 2006, no additional amortization expense will be incurred in the future.
 
Note 4.
Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt
 
As of September 30, 2004, the Company had $500,000 remaining due under a credit facility with Heartland Bank. The credit facility was 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, 2007. The two notes total $1,500,000 and bear interest payable at a rate of prime plus 1% (prime rate was 8.25% at September 30, 2006). 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, 2006.

Interest expense to related parties for the year ended September 30, 2005, was $53,752. There was no interest expense to related parties for the year ended September 30, 2006, due to the retirement of the related notes payable in the prior fiscal year.
 
Note 5.
Operating Leases and Rental Expense
 
The Company renewed and expanded its lease agreement to 5,100 square feet of office space with an unrelated third party which expires October 31, 2011. The lease requires monthly payments of $6,297 plus real estate taxes, utilities, and maintenance expenses. The Company is no longer required to make a security deposit related to the office space or maintain a certificate of deposit and letter of credit as collateral for said deposit.
 
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.

Operating Leases and Rental Expense (Continued)
 
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 $483,168 (£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 $483,168 (£268,125) which has been reduced to $182,481 (£97,500) and is included in other assets in the balance sheet at September 30, 2006. 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, 2006, was $1,092,775 (£583,873).
 
On June 1, 2005, the Company entered into a lease agreement to utilize 1,900 square feet of a facility located in Selangor D.E., Malaysia, for warehousing and manufacturing FC2. The lease expired May 31, 2006, and has since been renewed for two additional six-month periods currently expiring May 31, 2007. The lease requires an annual payment of $7,233. 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 number of lease agreements which expire at various dates between March 2009 and May 2011. The aggregate monthly rental was $1,559 at September 30, 2006.

The Company granted 195,000 options in 2005 to employees and outside 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. No options were issued in 2006.

The weighted average fair value of employee options granted for the year ended September 30, 2005, was $1.16. The fair value of options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of 52.83 percent, risk-free interest rate of 4.02 percent, expected life of ten years and no dividend yield.

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 granted 200,000 warrants to purchase common stock in 2006, although none were issued in 2005. The fair value of warrants was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming expected volatility of 61.2 percent, risk-free interest rate of 5.10 percent, expected life of ten years, and no dividend yield. The warrants were valued at $194,035 and recorded by the Company in selling, general and administrative expense.

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.

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 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. No such program was utilized in 2006.
