About PharmChem Inc.

PharmChem, Inc., (the company) operates as an independent laboratory that provides integrated drug testing services. The company’s customers include private and public employers, criminal justice agencies and drug treatment programs in the United States and Puerto Rico who seek to detect and deter the use of illegal drugs and alcohol. The company tests for a number of drugs of abuse, including cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, phencyclidine (PCP), marijuana (THC) and alcohol. The company tests primarily by urinalysis but also with the PharmScreen® and PharmView™ on-site screening devices and the PharmChek®Drugs of Abuse Patch (for testing with sweat). Under the company's Premium Comprehensive Management program, it offers a comprehensive set of services customized to assist customers in implementing cost-effective drug testing programs.

Forensic Drug Testing

The essential elements of forensic drug testing are a secure chain of custody for each specimen from its collection to the reporting of its test result and accurate and reliable testing in which a second independent test is performed to confirm each positive test result. The company performs the majority of its testing at its laboratory in Haltom City, Texas. In recent years, the company introduced two product lines, the PharmScreen® On-Site Screening Device and the PharmChek® Drugs Of Abuse Patch, to provide alternatives to traditional urinalysis laboratory testing. The PharmScreen® product line was extended in 2002 to include the PharmView™ on-site screening devices.

Screening Analyses

The company screen each specimen submitted for the presence of the drugs specified by the customer. The screening methods it uses include enzyme immunoassay and enzyme assay. Confirmation technologies it uses include gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and gas chromatography. GC/MS confirmation is required for federally-regulated drug testing and most other workplace drug testing.

PharmScreen® and PharmView™ On-Site Screening Devices

On-site screening relies upon portable diagnostic devices that the customer use at the point of specimen collection to readily identify drugs of abuse in urine specimens. The company offers two lines of on-site screening devices to supplement its laboratory-based testing services. PharmScreen® and newly introduced PharmView™ are portable, hand-held devices used for on-site screening of drugs of abuse and are available in single, dual, four and five drug test configurations. PharmScreen® is currently being used by certain government agencies, including the Administrative Office of the United States Courts (Federal Probation), and by certain private employers, including Sears Roebuck & Co. PharmScreen® and PharmView™ provide only a preliminary analytical result, and a more specific alternative chemical method, such as GC/MS, is necessary to obtain a confirmed analytical result.

PharmChek® Drugs Of Abuse Patch

PharmChek® is a system that uses sweat to detect the presence of illegal drugs and has been under development by it since 1992. It consists of a transparent polyurethane outer covering, a small absorbent pad and a release liner. A unique number is printed on the underside of the polyurethane layer for identification and anti-counterfeiting purposes. Unlike urinalysis, flushing or employing a diuretic to rid the body of drugs of abuse does not affect PharmChek® test results, since the drugs in the sweat simply collect on the absorption pad until the pad is removed for analysis. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared PharmChek® for detecting the use of cocaine, opiates (including heroin), amphetamines (including methamphetamine), phencyclidine (PCP) and marijuana (THC).

Program Analysis

The company collects and analyze data on test results in order to provide comprehensive monthly statistical reports to meet customers’ regulatory requirements and to assist with drug program management.

The company’s major customers include Sears, Roebuck & Co. and Lowes Companies, Inc.

ANALYSIS FEATURES

SWOT Analysis

SWOT, which stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats, is an analytical framework that identifies the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable for a company.

Enhanced SWOT Analysis

Enhanced SWOT is a 3×3 grid that arranges strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats into one scheme:

• How to use the strengths to take advantage of the opportunities?
• How to use the strengths to reduce likelihood and impact of the threats?
• How to overcome the weaknesses that obstruct taking advantage of the opportunities?
• How to overcome the weaknesses that can make the threats a reality?

Upon answering these questions a company can develop a project plan to improve its business performance.

PESTEL Analysis

PESTEL (also termed as PESTLE) is an ideal tool to strategically analyze what influence different outside factors – political, economic, sociocultural, technological, environmental and legal – exert on a business to later chart its long term targets.

Being part of the external analysis when carrying out a strategic assessment or performing a market study, PESTEL gives an overview of diverse macro-environmental factors that any company should thoughtfully consider. By perceiving these outside environments, businesses can maximally benefit from the opportunities while minimizing the threats to the organization.

Key Factors Examined by PESTEL Analysis:

• Political – What opportunities and pressures are brought by political bodies and what is the degree of public regulations’ impact on the business?
• Economic – What economic policies, trends and structures are expected to affect the organization, what is this influence’s degree?
• Sociological – What cultural and societal aspects will work upon the demand for the business’s products and operations?
• Technological – What impact do the technological aspects, innovations, incentives and barriers have on the organization?
• Environmental – What environmental and ecological facets, both locally and farther afield, are likely to predetermine the business?
• Legal – What laws and legislation will exert influence on the style the business is carried out?

IFE, EFE, IE Matrices

The Internal Factor Evaluation matrix (IFE matrix) is a strategic management tool helping audit or evaluate major weaknesses and strengths in a business’s functional areas. In addition, IFE matrix serves as a basis for identifying and assessing relationships amongst those areas. The IFE matrix is utilised in strategy formulation.

The External Factor Evaluation matrix (EFE matrix) is a tool of strategic management that is typically utilised to assess current market conditions. It is an ideal instrument for visualising and prioritising the threats and opportunities a firm is facing.

The essential difference between the above mentioned matrices lies in the type of factors incorporated in the model; whilst the latter is engaged in internal factors, the former deals exceptionally with external factors – those exposed to social, political, economic, legal, etc. external forces.

Being a continuation of the EFE matrix and IFE matrix models, the Internal External matrix (IE matrix) rests upon an investigation of external and internal business factors integrated into one suggestive model.

Porter Five Forces Analysis

The Porter’s five forces analysis studies the industry of operation and helps the company find new sources of competitive advantage. The analysis surveys an industry through five major questions:

1. What composes a threat of substitute products and services?
2. Is there a threat of new competitors entering the market?
3. What is the intensity of competitive rivalry?
4. How big is the bargaining power of buyers?
5. How significant is the bargaining power of suppliers?

VRIO Analysis

VRIO stands for Value, Rarity, Imitability, Organization. This analysis helps to evaluate all company’s resources and capabilities and bring them together into one aggregate table that includes:

• Tangible resources
  • Financial
  • Physical
  • Technological
  • Organizational
• Intangible resources
  • Human
  • Innovation and Creativity
  • Reputation
• Organizational capabilities

The result of the analysis gives a clear picture of company’s competitive and economic implications, answering the questions if the resources mentioned above are:

• Valuable?
• Rare?
• Costly to imitate?
• Organized properly?
