PART III

NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

The registrant acquired B.J.K. Inc. (which operates under the name “Chem Rx”) and related entities, and the institutional pharmacy business operated by such entities, in the business combination transaction consummated on October 26, 2007. In the financial statements applicable to such operating business, including the financial statements of the registrant included in the registrant’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, the registrant accounted for vendor rebates on the cash method, rather than on the accrual method, on the basis that insufficient information was available to permit the registrant to make a reasonable estimate of such rebates for the accrual method of accounting.

 

In conjunction with the registrant’s preparation and review of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the registrant determined that there may have been sufficient information available during prior periods to permit the registrant to make reasonable estimates of vendor rebates. The registrant is in the process of determining whether sufficient reasonable information did in fact exist and was reasonably available to the registrant to the extent needed to permit such reasonable estimates, and, if so, whether an accrual method of accounting for vendor rebates would have resulted in a material change in the registrant’s prior financial statements.

 

The registrant is working diligently to complete its investigation into such matters, but until such investigation is completed, the registrant is unable to complete its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, and therefore the registrant was unable to file such Form 10-Q on a timely basis. The registrant will file such Form 10-Q as promptly as practicable upon completion of such investigation, and, if and to the extent necessary, upon completion of any restatement of prior financial statements. In the event that the registrant determines that the accrual method of accounting should have been used with respect to vendor rebates, and that such method would have resulted in material changes to its prior financial statements, the registrant will timely file an appropriate Form 8-K with respect to such matters.

Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s)

(3)

 

Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?

Yes

 No

x

o

 

The registrant was a shell company during the corresponding period for the last fiscal year, and the results of operations for such corresponding period primarily included interest income and general and administrative expenses; in contrast, since the date of the registrant’s business combination on October 26, 2007, the registrant’s results of operations have reflected those of an operating business with revenues, costs of sales, interest expense, and general and administrative expenses. Therefore regardless of the outcome of the registrant’s investigation into the accounting matters described in Part III above, the results of operations for the current period would be expected to reflect significant changes in several respects as compared with the results of operations for such corresponding period of the last fiscal year.
 
The registrant is not able at this time to provide an estimate of the amounts that will be reflected in the earnings statements to be included in the registrant’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.
