FORWARD LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This
Report contains statements which constitute forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on
our current expectations and projections about future events and financial
trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of
operations, business strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking
statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions,
including those described in the “Risk factors” section in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and our other reports filed with
the Commission. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future
performance and you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking
statement. Our actual results may differ materially from those
projected in any forward-looking statements, as they will depend on many factors
about which we are unsure, including many factors which are beyond our control.
The words “may,” “would,” “could,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,”
“believe,” “intend,” “plan,” and “estimate,” as well as similar expressions, are
meant to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements contained herein include, but are not limited to, statements relating
to:
•
|
our
future financial results;
|
•
|
our
future growth and expansion into new markets;
and
|
•
|
our
future advertising and marketing
activities.
|
Except
as otherwise required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statement contained in this report. The safe harbors
for forward-looking statements provided by the Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995 are unavailable to issuers not previously subject to the reporting
requirements set forth under Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and whose securities are considered to be a “penny
stock” and accordingly may not be available to us.
As
used in this Report, references to the “we,” “us,” “our” refer to Skinny
Nutritional Corp. unless the context indicates otherwise.

Interim Financial
Statements
|
The
accompanying financial statements for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008 are unaudited and have been prepared pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included
in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles of the United States of America have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. Accordingly, these
interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and notes thereto contained in Skinny Nutritional Corp.’s
(the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2008, filed with the SEC on April 6, 2009. The results of operations
for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of
results to be expected for other interim periods or for the full fiscal
year. In the opinion of management, the information contained herein
reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim results
of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring
nature. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year
amounts to conform to the current year presentation.
The year
end condensed balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, but does not include all
disclosures required for financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of
America.
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its subsidiary. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated
upon consolidation.
Going Concern and Management
Plans
The accompanying
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a
going concern. However, the Company has incurred losses since its
inception and has not yet been successful in establishing profitable operations.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to
continue as a going concern. In this regard, management is dependent
on raising additional funds through sales of its common stock or through loans
from shareholders. There is no assurance that the Company will be
successful in raising additional capital or achieving profitable
operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
To date, the company has needed to rely upon selling equity and debt securities in private placements to generate cash to implement our plan of operations. We have an immediate need for cash to fund our working capital requirements and business model objectives and we intend to either undertake private placements of our securities, either as a self-offering or with the assistance of registered broker-dealers, or negotiate a private sale of our securities to one or more institutional investors. However, the company currently has no firm agreements with any third-parties for such transactions and no assurances can be given that we will be successful in raising sufficient capital from any proposed financings.
At
September 30, 2009, our cash and cash equivalents was approximately $29,479. The
company has been substantially reliant on capital raised from private placements
of our securities, in addition to our revolving line of credit from United
Capital Funding, to fund our operations. During the 2008 fiscal year, we raised
an aggregate amount of $5,205,690 from the sale of securities to accredited
investors in private transactions. During fiscal 2009, we raised an
aggregate amount of $3,415,196 from the sale of securities to accredited
investors in private placements.
Based on
our current levels of expenditures and our business plan, we believe that our
existing cash and cash equivalents (including the proceeds received from our
recent private placement), will only be sufficient to fund our anticipated
levels of operations for a period of less than twelve months and that without
raising additional capital, the Company will be limited in it’s projected
growth. This will depend, however, on our ability to execute on our 2009
operating plan and to manage our costs in light of developing economic
conditions and the performance of our business. Accordingly, generating sales in
that time period is important to support our business. However, we cannot
guarantee that we will generate such growth. If we do not generate sufficient
cash flow to support our operations during that time frame, we will need to
raise additional capital and may need to do so sooner than currently
anticipated. We cannot assure you that any financing can be obtained or, if
obtained, that it will be on reasonable terms.
If we
raise additional funds by selling shares of common stock or convertible
securities, the ownership of our existing shareholders will be diluted. Further,
if additional funds are raised though the issuance of equity or debt securities,
such additional securities may have powers, designations, preferences or rights
senior to our currently outstanding securities. Further, if expenditures
required to achieve our plans are greater than projected or if revenues are less
than, or are generated more slowly than, projected, we will need to raise a
greater amount of funds than currently expected. Without realization of
additional capital, it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going
concern.
Use of Accounting
Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from these
estimates.

Codification (ASC) topic 718 (stock compensation). ASC topic
718 requires an issuer to measure the cost of employee services received
in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date
fair value of the award and eliminated the exception to account for such
awards using the intrinsic method previously allowable under APB No.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Below is
a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements. Recent
pronouncements not discussed below were deemed to not be applicable to the
Company.
FASB
Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy
of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
In June
2009 the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 168 “The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a
replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”. (SFAS No.
168). SFAS No. 168 established the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification. The Codification will become the exclusive
authoritative reference for nongovernmental U.S. GAAP for use in
financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after
September 15, 2009, except for SEC rules and interpretive releases, which are
also authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The contents of the
Codification will carry the same level of authority, eliminating the four-level
GAAP hierarchy previously set forth in Statement 162, which has been superseded
by Statement 168. All authoritative GAAP issued by the FASB after
this Statement will be referred to as Accounting Standards
Updates. Accounting Standards Updates will not be considered
authoritative in their own right, rather they will only serve to update the
Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide
basis for conclusions on changes in the Codification. The
Codification retains existing GAAP without changing it except in one instance
related to software revenue recognition, which does not impact the
Company. SFAS No. 168 is effective for the Company for the interim
period ending September 30, 2009 and effective for the Form 10-Q for the period
ending September 30, 2009, all references to authoritative literature are
required to cite the Codification as opposed to legacy accounting
pronouncements.
ASC
Topic 820-10-65, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity
for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying
Transactions That Are Not Orderly
In June
2009, FASB issued guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a
transaction is not orderly and guidance on identifying estimating fair value in
accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or
liability have significantly decreased. This guidance emphasizes that
fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date under current market conditions. This
guidance requires additional disclosures for instruments within the
scope of SFAS 157. This guidance was adopted by the Company, for the
interim period beginning April 1, 2009, and did not have a
material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of
operations.
ASC
Topic 855, Subsequent Events
In May
2009, the FASB issued guidance on the evaluation of subsequent events and
requires the disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been
evaluated. This guidance was adopted by the Company for the interim
period June 30, 2009.

in consideration for his personal guarantee of the Valley Green Loan. On March
24, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the grant of an aggregate of
2,075,000 restricted shares of common stock to each of Mr. Michael Salaman, its
Chairman and Mr. Donald McDonald, its Chief Executive Officer, in consideration
of their agreement to provide a personal guaranty in connection with the

In
connection with the Company’s private placement in 2008 of $1,875,000 shares of
its common stock, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer
and Chairman agreed not to exercise a total of 12,000,000 options and 2,000,000

number of the Company’s authorized shares of common stock.
Prior to
becoming its Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ronald Wilson was appointed to the
company’s
Advisory Board in March 2008 and in connection with that appointment was granted
warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $.05 per
share. Mr. Wilson had participated in a private placement of common stock in

Subsequently, the company granted Mr. Wilson an additional warrant to purchase
1,000,000 shares of Common Stock in April 2008, in consideration for additional
consulting services provided by Mr. Wilson. These warrants are also exercisable
for a period of five years at a price of $0.05 per share. On April 29, 2009, the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer purchased 600 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock in the Company’s private offering of such securities, which shares of

pursuant to which the Distributor has been appointed as the Company’s exclusive
distributor of Skinny Water and other products bearing the Company’s trademarks
covered by the Distribution Agreement in the New York City metropolitan area.
The Chief Executive Officer of the Distributor, Mr. William Wilson, is the
brother of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The entire board of directors
of the Company, in considering the Distribution Agreement, was aware of and
considered this relationship and in determining to approve the Distribution
Agreement, analyzed the benefits to the Company of the Distribution Agreement
and determined that the terms of the Distribution Agreement are commercially
reasonable and fair to the Company and materially comparable to the terms and
conditions generally available to the Company in a similar agreement with an
unrelated third party. Additional information about the Distribution Agreement
is set forth in greater detail at Note 12 on these financial
statements.

other than for cause (as such term is defined in the Company’s 2009 Equity
Incentive Compensation Plan), be deemed immediately vested in full and
exercisable for the duration of the original stated term of such options. In
addition, on such date, the Board also agreed to amend certain outstanding
warrant agreements to include a provision permitting the cashless exercise of
such warrants in the event that there is not effective a registration statement
covering the resale of the underlying warrant shares. Consistent with this
agreement, the Company amended the warrant agreements previously issued to the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Pasqual Croce (together with Liquid Mojo LLC,
a holder of more that 5% of the Company’s common stock), and two consultants.
Mr. Croce and Liquid Mojo collectively hold warrants to purchase 5,500,000

Company for the 2009 fiscal year is less than $10,000,000, the total amount
granted to each person will be reduced by 25% and the unvested portion of such
awards shall be reduced in such an amount so as to give effect to such
reduction.

OF EQUITY SECURITIES - CONTINUED
Commencing
in November 2008, a private offering was conducted pursuant to which the company
sought to raise an aggregate amount of $1,875,000 of shares of common stock (the
“November Offering”). On February 5, 2009, the Company completed the November
Offering. Total proceeds raised in the November Offering were $1,867,690 and the
subscribers purchased an aggregate of 31,128,167 shares of common stock. The
Company intends to use the net proceeds from the November Offering of
approximately $1,800,000 for working capital, repayment of debt and general
corporate purposes. In connection with the November Offering, the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman agreed not to
exercise a total of 12,000,000 options and 2,000,000 warrants beneficially owned
by them until such time as the Company’s stockholders adopt an amendment to its
Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of the Company’s authorized
shares of common stock. The Company agreed to pay commissions to registered
broker-dealers that procured investors and issue such persons warrants to
purchase such number of shares that equals 10% of the total number of shares
actually sold in the November Offering to investors procured by them. Agent
warrants are exercisable at the per share price of $0.07 for a period of five
years from the date of issuance. We paid total commissions of $20,959 and issued
agent warrants to purchase 349,317 shares of common stock.
In
addition to these transactions, the Company sold an aggregate of $175,000 of
shares of its common stock to three individual accredited investors in private
sales and issued these investors a total of 3,541,667 shares of common
stock.
During
the first two quarters of fiscal 2009, the Company conducted a private offering
in (the "Offering") pursuant to which it sought to raise an additional aggregate
amount of $2,100,000 of shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The shares of Series
A Preferred Stock have an initial conversion rate of $0.06 per share, with
customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events. In
the Offering the Company accepted total subscriptions of $2,035,000 for an
aggregate of 20,350 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Company's
consolidated statement of cash flow reflects the issuance of preferred stock in
the Offering of $1,500,000 since subscriptions for $535,000 were released to the
Company from escrow in July 2009, subsequent to the Company increasing the
number of authorized shares of common stock on July 6, 2009, which triggered the
automatic conversion of preferred shares to common. Therefore, the Company
issued 8,916,667 common shares in lieu of 5,350 preferred shares. The Company is
using the proceeds from the Offering for working capital, repayment of debt and
general corporate purposes. Following the approval by the Company's stockholders
of the proposal to increase the Company's authorized number of shares of Common
Stock on July 2, 2009, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its
Articles of Incorporation with the State of Nevada on July 6, 2009. In
accordance with the Certificate of Designation, Preferences, Rights and
Limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock, upon the effectiveness of such
filing, all of the 20,350 shares of Series A Preferred Stock subscribed for by
investors were automatically convertible into an aggregate of 33,916,667 shares
of common stock. As of September 30, 2009, holders of 9,080 shares of Series A
Preferred Stock had received 15,133,333 shares of common stock upon conversion
and the holders of the remaining shares of Series A Preferred Stock have not yet
surrendered such shares for cancellation.

CREDIT
ARRANGEMENTS
|
On April
4, 2007, the Company closed on a secure loan arrangement with Valley Green Bank
pursuant to which it received funds in the amount of $350,000. The
Company applied this amount to satisfy its obligations to Madison Bank under the
Forbearance Agreement. Interest will be charged on the unpaid principal of this
new loan arrangement until the full amount of principal has been paid at the
rate of 8.25% per annum. The Company was obligated to repay this new loan in
full immediately on the bank’s demand, but in no event later than March 20,
2008. Since that date the bank has extended the term of the loan. Interest
payments are due on a monthly basis. The current balance outstanding as of
September 30, 2009 is $89,999. Pursuant to this arrangement with
Valley Green Bank, the loan is secured by collateral consisting of a perfected
first priority pledge of certain marketable securities held by the Company’s
Chairman and entities with which he is affiliated. The Company also agreed to a
confession of judgment in favor of the bank in the event it defaults under the
loan agreements. The loan agreements also require the consent of the bank for
certain actions, including incurring additional debt and incurring certain
liens. The maturity of this loan has been extended to July 2010. Subsequent to
September 30, 2009 this obligation has been paid down by an additional
$10,000.
On
November 23, 2007, the Company entered into a one-year factoring agreement with
United Capital Funding of Florida (“UCF”) which provided for an initial
borrowing limit of $300,000. This arrangement has been renewed and the borrowing
limit has been incrementally increased to extend our line to the lesser of 85%
of the face value of eligible receivables subject to a maximum of $2,000,000. As
of September 30, 2009, we had $614,228 outstanding through this arrangement. All
accounts submitted for purchase must be approved by UCF. The applicable
factoring fee is 0.30% of the face amount of each purchased account and the
purchase price is 85% of the face amount. UCF will retain the balance as
reserve, which it holds until the customer pays the factored invoice to UCF. In
the event the reserve account is less than the required reserve amount, the
company will be obligated to pay UCF the shortfall. In addition to the factoring
fee, the company will also be responsible for certain additional fees upon the
occurrence of certain contractually-specified events. As collateral securing the
obligations, the company granted UCF a continuing first priority
security interest in all accounts and related inventory and intangibles. Upon
the occurrence of certain contractually-specified events, UCF may require the
company to repurchase a purchased account on demand. In connection with this
arrangement, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer agreed to personally
guarantee our obligations to UCF. The agreement will automatically renew for
successive one year terms until terminated. Either party may terminate the
agreement on three month’s prior written notice. We are liable for an early
termination fee in the event we fail to provide them with the required
notice.

INCOME
TAXES
|
|
ASC
Topic 740-10, Income Taxes
|
|
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740-10.
This guidance requires the Company to provide a net deferred tax
asset/liability equal to the expected future tax benefit/expense of
temporary reporting differences between book and tax accounting methods
and any available operating loss or tax credit
carryforwards. At
December 31, 2008, the Company has available unused operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $12,000,000 which may be applied against
future taxable income and which expire in various years through
2023.
|
|
The
amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the operating loss
carryforwards for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax
laws in effect, the future earnings of the Company, and other future
events, the effects of which cannot be determined because of the
uncertainty surrounding the realization of the loss carryforwards. The
Company has established a valuation allowance equal to the tax effect of
the loss carryforwards and, therefore, no deferred tax asset has been
recognized for the loss
carryforwards.

STOCKHOLDERS'
EQUITY
|
|
At
September 30, 2009 the Company had 500,000,000 shares of common stock
authorized par value $.001. Shares outstanding at September 30,
2009 were 252,566,684. In addition, the company also had
1,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized at a par value of
$.001. Shares of preferred stock outstanding at September 30,
2009 were 5,920 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Pursuant
to the Certificate of Designation, Preferences, Rights and Limitations of
the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, all shares of Series A Preferred
Stock were subject to mandatory conversion upon the filing by the Company
of a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of Nevada
increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock of the Company,
which occurred on July 6, 2009. Accordingly, any certificates representing
shares of Series A Preferred Stock which remain outstanding solely
represent the right to receive the number of shares of Common Stock into
which they are convertible.
|
During
May and June 2009, the company issued shares of Series A Preferred Stock
(“Series A”). The Series A conversion price represented a discount from
the estimated fair value of the Common Stock at the time of issuance.
Accordingly, the discount amount is considered incremental yield ("the
beneficial conversion feature") to the preferred stockholders and has been
accounted for a deemed dividend of approximately $1.37 million has been
added to the net loss in the calculation of net loss applicable to common
stockholders in the three months and nine months ended September 30,
2009.

Our
Board of Directors initially adopted our Employee Stock Option Plan (the
“Old Plan”) on November 16, 1998 and it was approved by our stockholders
on December 21, 2001. The Old Plan terminated ten years from the date of
its adoption by the Board. Our Board of Directors, on October 6, 2006, had
unanimously approved and recommended for shareholder approval the
amendment of the Plan to increase the number of shares authorized for
issuance there under from 1,000,000 shares to 20,000,000 shares. The
requisite vote of our shareholders was obtained on November 15, 2006.
Under the Old Plan, the company may grant incentive (“ISOs”) and
non-statutory (“Non-ISOs”) options to employees, non employee members of
the Board of Directors and consultants and other independent advisors who
provide services to us. The maximum shares of common stock which may be
issued over the term of the plan shall not exceed 20,000,000 shares. As of
September 30, 2009, 27,512,500 options were issued and outstanding. Awards
under this plan are made by the Board of Directors or a committee of the
Board.
|
|
Under
the plan, options are granted at the market price of the stock on the day
of the grant. Options granted to persons owning more than 10% or
more of the outstanding voting stock are granted at 110% of the fair
market price on the day of the grant. Each option exercisable at such time
or times, during such period and for such numbers of shares shall be
determined by the Plan Administrator. However, no option shall have a term
in excess of 10 years from the date of the
grant.

On May
12, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, subject to shareholder
approval, the 2009 Equity Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2009 Plan”) and
reserved 25,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to awards
granted thereunder. On July 2, 2009, the 2009 Plan was approved by
stockholders at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The following
types of awards, may be granted under the 2009 Plan: shares of restricted common
stock or restricted stock units; options to acquire shares of common stock
intended to qualify as incentive stock options, or ISOs, under Section 422(b) of
the Internal Revenue Code; non-qualified stock options to acquire shares of
common stock, or NSOs; stock appreciation rights; performance-based awards; and
other stock-based awards approved by the committee. The 2009 Plan may be
administered by the Board of Directors or by a committee of the Board. Grants
under the 2009 Plan may be made to the Company’s employees, directors,
consultants and advisors. Each option shall expire within 10 years of the date
of grant. However, if ISOs are granted to persons owning more than 10% of the
outstanding voting stock, the exercise price may not be less than 110% of the
fair market value per share at the date of grant. The 2009 Plan also has
provisions that take effect if the Company experiences a change of control. The
2009 Plan provides that the exercise price for ISOs and NSOs shall not be less
than the fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock at the date

the Company’s stockholders of the 2009 Plan. Following the approval of the
Company’s stockholders of the 2009 Plan on July 2, 2009, the foregoing
grants became effective as of such date. The exercise price of such
options is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Common stock on
the date of stockholder approval of the 2009 Plan, as determined in
accordance with the 2009 Plan.
|
|
On
August 14, 2009, the Board of Directors approved the grant of 7,550,000
options under the 2009 Plan, including grants of 2,000,000 options to each
of Messrs. Wilson, McDonald and Salaman. All options are

subsequent three anniversary dates thereafter; provided, however, in the
event that the gross sales reported by the Company for the 2009 fiscal
year is less than $10,000,000, the total amount granted to each person
will be reduced by 25% and the unvested portion of such awards shall be
reduced in such an amount so as to give effect to such reduction.
Accordingly, of these options, 1,887,500 of the options were
granted for prior services and vested immediately. The remaining 5,662,500
options were issued for future services and will vest 25% on each
anniversary date of the grant until fully

DISTRIBUTION
AGREEMENT
|
On July
16, 2009, the company entered into a distribution agreement (the “Distribution
Agreement”) with Canada Dry Bottling Company of New York (the “Distributor”) under
which the Distributor has been appointed as the Company’s exclusive distributor
of Skinny Water and other products in the New York City metropolitan area (the
“Territory”).
The Company also granted the Distributor a right of first refusal to serve as
the Company’s exclusive distributor in the Territory for new or additional
beverages that it wishes to introduce in the Territory. Distributor will use
reasonable efforts to promote the sale of the Products in the Territory;
however, no performance targets are mandated by the Distribution Agreement.
Under the Distribution Agreement, the Company agreed to pay a specified amount
to the Distributor for any sales of Products made by the Company in the
Territory to customers that do not purchase products from outside
distributors. In addition, the Company agreed to cover a minimum
amount for slotting fees during the initial term of the Distribution Agreement.
The Distribution Agreement may be terminated by the Company due to a material
breach of the agreement by or the insolvency of the Distributor, subject to
notice and cure provisions. The Distributor may terminate the Distribution
Agreement at any time upon written notice. Following any termination, the
Company will purchase or cause a third party to purchase all inventory and
materials that are in good and merchantable condition and are not otherwise
obsolete or unusable. The price to be paid for such materials shall be equal to
the Distributor’s laid-in cost of all such inventory and materials. In the event
the Company elects not to renew the Distribution Agreement at the end of the
initial term or any renewal term and Distributor is not otherwise in breach of
the Agreement with the time to cure such breach having expired, the Company
shall pay Distributor, a termination penalty based on a multiple of its gross
profit per case, as calculated pursuant to the terms of the Distribution
Agreement. The Agreement is a multi-year contract with automatic renewal
provisions, unless either party provides notice of non-renewal. The
agreement also provides for customary covenants by the parties regarding
insurance and indemnification.

SUBSEQUENT
EVENT
|
In August
2009, the Company commenced a private offering (the “August Offering”)
pursuant to which it is offering an aggregate amount of $2,500,000 Common
Stock. The shares of Common Stock are being offered and sold at a purchase price
of $.06 per share. As of November 15, 2009, the Company had accepted
subscriptions of $791,000 for an aggregate of 13,183,333 shares of Common Stock.
Net proceeds from such sales are approximately $751,000. The Company intends to
use the proceeds from the Offering for working capital, repayment of debt and
general corporate purposes. There can be no assurance that the Company will
complete the offering on the anticipated terms, or at all. The Company's ability
to complete the offering will depend, among other things, on market conditions.
In addition, the Company's ability to complete this offering and its business
are subject to risks described in the Company's filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The Company agreed to pay commissions to registered
broker-dealers that procured investors in the Offering and issue such persons
warrants to purchase such number of shares that equals 10% of the total
number of shares actually sold in the Offering to investors procured by them.
Such warrants shall be exercisable at the per share price of $.07 for a period
of five years from the date of issuance.
Management
evaluated subsequent events through November 23, 2009, the date our financial
statements were issued.

Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of
Operation.
This management’s discussion and
analysis of financial condition and results of operations contains
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should read
the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our consolidated
financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Report. Our
actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking
statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to those
described elsewhere in this report and listed under “Item 1A—Risk Factors” in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and other
reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except for historical
information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. See
“Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward Looking Statements”
above.
Overview
Nature
of Operations
We were
originally incorporated in the State of Utah on June 20, 1984 as Parvin Energy,
Inc. Our name was later changed to Sahara Gold Corporation and on July 26, 1985
we changed our corporate domicile to the State of Nevada and on January 24, 1994
we changed our name to Inland Pacific Resources, Inc. On December 18, 2001, we
entered into an agreement and plan of reorganization with Creative Enterprises,
Inc. and changed our name to Creative Enterprises International, Inc. On
November 15, 2006, a majority of our common stockholders provided written
consent to change the name of the company to Skinny Nutritional Corp. to more
accurately describe our evolving operations. This change became effective
December 27, 2006. This discussion relates solely to the
operations of Skinny Nutritional Corp.
Since our
formation and prior to 2006, our operations were devoted primarily to startup
and development activities, including obtaining start-up capital; developing our
corporate hierarchy, including establishing a business plan; and identifying and
contacting suppliers and distributors of functional beverages and dietary
supplements. A majority of the company’s
resources have been devoted to product development, marketing and sales
activities regarding the product line of Skinny products, including the
procurement of a number of purchase orders from distributors.
Our
Current Products
The
company operates its
business in the rapidly evolving beverage industries and are currently
focused on developing, distributing and marketing nutritionally enhanced
functional beverages. Enhanced functional beverages have been leading the growth
of beverage consumption in the United States. Through the year ended December
31, 2008 and during the present fiscal year, the company principally operates
through marketing and distributing of the “Skinny Water®” line of functional
beverages.
The
Skinny Water® product line, includes six flavors (Acai Grape Blueberry,
Raspberry Pomegranate, Peach Mango Mandarin, Lemonade Passionfruit, Goji Fruit
Punch and Orange Cranberry Tangerine). The company expects
to launch Skinny Teas and new product extensions with zero calories,
sugar and sodium and with no preservatives.
Skinny
Water® is formulated with a proprietary blend of vitamins, minerals and
antioxidants. To market this product, management of the company has relied on
the licenses from Peace Mountain Natural Beverages Corp. (“Peace Mountain”) and
Interhealth. Working with these companies to agree upon the ingredient blend
utilized in Skinny Water. However, as previously reported, in July 2009 the
company completed the acquisition of the trademark “Skinny Water®.”
23
Skinny
Water® contains no caffeine or sugar, and has no preservatives or artificial
colors. Skinny Water’s Raspberry Pomegranate flavor features the all natural,
clinically tested ingredient, (“Super CitriMax”) plus a combination of calcium
and potassium. Super CitriMax has been shown to suppress appetite without
stimulating the nervous system when used in conjunction with diet and exercise.
Skinny Water also includes ChromeMate® which is a patented form of biologically
active niacin-bound chromium called chromium nicotinate or polynicotinate that
we also obtain from Interhealth.
The
current business strategy is to develop and maintain current national
distribution relationship with Target Corporation, focus in establishing a
market for the Skinny beverages in the United States and generate sales and
brand awareness through sampling, street teams and retail-centered promotions
and advertisements as well as building a national sales and distribution network
to take the company’s
products into retail and direct store delivery (DSD) distribution
channels. As described in greater detail below, on July 16, 2009, we
entered into a distribution agreement with Canada Dry Bottling Company of New
York under which they will serve as our exclusive distributor of Skinny Water
and other products in the New York City metropolitan area. The company’s
entry into the New York City metropolitan area is in addition to the
overall increase in the network of distributors to 55 distributors in 23
states.
The
company will principally generate revenues, income and cash by introducing,
marketing, selling and distributing finished products in the beverage, health
and nutrition industries. Products will be sold through national retailers and
local distributors. We have been focused on, and will continue to increase
existing product lines and further develop our markets. Management has
established relationships with national retailers, including Target, Stop N
Shop, Giant, ACME and Shop Rite, for the distribution of Skinny Water.
Management expects to continue its efforts to distribute Skinny Water® through
the distributors and retailers. However, these distributors and retailers were
not bound by significant minimum purchase commitments and the company does not
expect that this will change in the near future. Accordingly, the company must
rely on recurring purchase orders for product sales and we cannot determine the
frequency or amount of orders any retailer or distributor may make.
The
company's primary operating expenses include the following: direct
operating expenses, such as transportation, warehousing and storage, overhead,
fees and royalties to our suppliers and marketing costs. The company
has and will continue to incur significant marketing expenditures to
support its brands including advertising costs, slotting fees, sponsorship
fees and special promotional events. The company has focused on
developing brand awareness and trial through sampling both in stores and at
events. Retailers and distributors may receive rebates, promotions, point of
sale materials and merchandise displays. The company seeks to use
in-store promotions and in-store placement of point-of-sale materials and racks,
price promotions, sponsorship and product endorsements. The intent of these
marketing expenditures is to enhance distribution and availability of our
products as well as awareness and increase consumer preference for its brand,
greater distribution and availability, awareness and promote long term
growth.
Acquisition
of Trademarks
The
company had obtained the exclusive worldwide rights pursuant to a license
agreement with Peace Mountain to bottle and distribute a
dietary supplement called Skinny Water®. On July 7, 2009, the
closing of the previously announced Asset Purchase Agreement with Peace Mountain
occurred and we acquired from Peace Mountain certain trademarks and other
intellectual property assets. The acquired marks include the trademarks “Skinny
Water®”, “Skinny Shake” ®, “Skinny Tea®”, “Skinny Shot®”, “Skinny Smoothie®’’,
and “Skinny Java®”. In consideration of the purchase of such assets, we agreed
to pay Peace Mountain $750,000 in cash payable as follows: (i) $375,000 payable
up front and (ii) $375,000, less an amount equal to the royalties paid by the
Company during the first quarter of 2009, payable in four quarterly
installments commencing May 1, 2010. In connection with the acquisition of
these assets, we and Peace Mountain also agreed to settle in all respects a
dispute between the parties that was the subject of a pending arbitration
proceeding. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company and Peace Mountain
agreed to the dismissal with prejudice of the pending arbitration proceeding and
to a mutual release of claims. In connection with the foregoing, the parties
also entered into a Trademark Assignment Agreement and Consulting Agreement.
Effective with the closing, the transactions contemplated by these additional
agreements were also consummated. Under the Consulting Agreement, which is
effective as of June 1, 2009, entered into between the Company and Mr. John
David Alden, the principal of Peace Mountain, the Company will pay Mr. Alden a
consulting fee of $100,000 per annum for a two year period. Under this
agreement, Mr. Alden will provide the Company with professional advice
concerning product research, development, formulation, design and manufacturing
of beverages and related packaging. Further, the Consulting Agreement provides
that the Company issue to Mr. Alden warrants to purchase an aggregate of
3,000,000 shares of Common Stock, exercisable for a period of five years at a
price of $0.05 per share.
24
Planned
Products
The
company intends to expand its product line to introduce the following
products at such times as management believes that market conditions are
appropriate. Products under development or consideration include new Skinny
Water flavors, Teas, Shakes, Smoothies and Coffees.
Management
Changes
On
December 1, 2008, the company entered into an employment relationship with Mr.
Ronald D. Wilson, to serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company effective immediately. Contemporaneously with Mr. Wilson’s appointment
as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, the Board elected
Mr. Wilson to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors for a period of one year
or until his successor is elected and qualified. Mr. Wilson was appointed to
replace Mr. Donald McDonald as the Company’s President and Chief Executive
Officer. Mr. McDonald continues to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors and
as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.
On July
2, 2009, the Company received notice from Mr. Michael Reis, the Company’s
interim chief operating officer, that he has resigned from such position
effective immediately. Mr. Reis had also previously served as member of the
Company’s board of directors until the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders
held on July 2, 2009. Subsequent to his departure, in October 2009, we agreed to
amend Mr. Reis’s existing stock options so that they remain exercisable for the
duration of their term. At the time of his departure, Mr. Reis held options to
purchase 950,000 options.
Advisory
Board
On March
20, 2008, the Company announced it established an advisory board to provide
advice on matters relating to the Company’s products. The Company will seek to
appoint up to five individuals to its advisory board. On such date, the Company
appointed the following individuals to its advisory board: Pat Croce, Ron Wilson
and Michael Zuckerman. As described below, in December 2008, we appointed Mr.
Wilson as our Chief Executive Officer and President. The Company also entered
into a consulting agreement with Mr. Croce, pursuant to which the Company agreed
to issue warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of common stock at $.05 per share
consideration of his agreement to serve on the Company’s Advisory Board and for
providing the marketing services for the Company’s products. In addition to
serving on the Advisory Board, Mr. Croce agreed to endorse and
advertise, through an affiliate, the Company’s products. In
additional consideration for his agreement to provide the endorsement and
marketing services, the Company agreed to pay a royalty with respect to the sale
of its products that he endorses for the duration of his endorsement services.
As previously reported, in April 2009, we agreed with Mr. Croce to cancel the
ongoing royalty obligation payable by the Company, in consideration of which, we
agreed to issue to him warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of
Common Stock, exercisable for a period of five years at a price of $0.05 per
share. The Company issued each of the other initial members of its
advisory board warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock,
exercisable for a period of five years at a price of $0.05. Subsequently, we
also granted Mr. Wilson an additional warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of
Common Stock in April 2008, in consideration for additional consulting services
provided by Mr. Wilson to us. These warrants are also exercisable for a period
of five years at a price of $0.05 per share. Subsequently, in August 2009, our
Board approved a grant of an additional 2,000,000 warrants to an affiliate of
Mr. Croce in consideration for further services on our advisory board and for
additional consulting services rendered. These warrants are exercisable for a
period of five years at a per share exercise price of $0.06. These
securities were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration set
forth in Section 4(2) thereof. We believe that the investors and the selling
agent are “accredited investors”; as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)
promulgated under the Securities Act.

Going
Concern and Management Plans
To date,
the company has needed to rely upon selling equity and debt securities in
private placements to generate cash to implement our plan of operations. We have
an immediate need for cash to fund our working capital requirements and business
model objectives and we intend to either undertake private placements of our
securities, either as a self-offering or with the assistance of registered
broker-dealers, or negotiate a private sale of our securities to one or more
institutional investors. However, the company currently has no firm agreements
with any third-parties for such transactions and no assurances can be given that
we will be successful in raising sufficient capital from any proposed
financings.
At
September 30, 2009, our cash and cash equivalents was approximately $29,479. The
company has been substantially reliant on capital raised from private placements
of our securities, in addition to our revolving line of credit from United
Capital Funding, to fund our operations. During the 2008 fiscal year, we raised
an aggregate amount of $5,205,690 from the sale of securities to accredited
investors in private transactions pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. During fiscal 2009, we raised an
aggregate amount of $3,415,196 from the sale of securities to accredited
investors in private placements pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Based on
our current levels of expenditures and our business plan, we believe that our
existing cash and cash equivalents (including the proceeds received from our
recent private placement), will only be sufficient to fund our anticipated
levels of operations for a period of less than twelve months and that without
raising additional capital, the Company will be limited in it’s projected
growth. This will depend, however, on our ability to execute on our 2009
operating plan and to manage our costs in light of developing economic
conditions and the performance of our business. Accordingly, generating sales in
that time period is important to support our business. However, we cannot
guarantee that we will generate such growth. If we do not generate sufficient
cash flow to support our operations during that time frame, we will need to
raise additional capital and may need to do so sooner than currently
anticipated. A “going concern” explanatory paragraph was issued by our
predecessor independent auditor in their report to our financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 2008, citing recurring losses and negative cash
flows from operations. We cannot assure you that any financing can be obtained
or, if obtained, that it will be on reasonable terms.
If we
raise additional funds by selling shares of common stock or convertible
securities, the ownership of our existing shareholders will be diluted. Further,
if additional funds are raised though the issuance of equity or debt securities,
such additional securities may have powers, designations, preferences or rights
senior to our currently outstanding securities. Further, if expenditures
required to achieve our plans are greater than projected or if revenues are less
than, or are generated more slowly than, projected, we will need to raise a
greater amount of funds than currently expected. Without realization of
additional capital, it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going
concern.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
application of the following accounting policies, which are important to our
financial position and results of operations, requires significant judgments and
estimates on the part of management. The summary of our accounting policies are
discussed below.
Revenue Recognition – The
Company sells products through multiple distribution channels including
resellers and distributors. Revenue is recognized when the product is shipped to
our retailers and distributors and is recognized net of discounts. At present,
there are no return privileges with our products. Management believes that
adequate provision has been made for cash discounts, returns and spoilage based
on our historical experience.
26
Inventories – Inventories are
stated at the lower of cost to purchase and/or manufacture the inventory or the
current estimated market value of the inventory. We regularly review our
inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete
inventory based primarily on our estimated forecast of product demand,
production availability and/or our ability to sell the
product(s) concerned. Demand for our products can fluctuate
significantly. Factors that could affect demand for our products include
unanticipated changes in consumer preferences, general market and economic
conditions or other factors that may result in cancellations of advance orders
or reductions in the rate of reorders placed by customers and/or continued
weakening of economic conditions. Additionally, management’s estimates of
future product demand may be inaccurate, which could result in an understated or
overstated provision required for excess and obsolete inventory.
Cost of Sales – Cost of sales
consists of the costs of raw materials utilized in the manufacture of products,
co-packing fees, repacking fees, in-bound freight charges, as well as certain
internal transfer costs, warehouse expenses incurred prior to the manufacture of
our finished products and certain quality control costs. Raw materials
account for the largest portion of the cost of sales. Raw materials
include cans, bottles, other containers, ingredients and packaging
materials.
Operating Expenses –
Operating expenses include selling expenses such as distribution expenses to
transport products to customers and warehousing expenses after manufacture, as
well as expenses for advertising, commissions, sampling and in-store
demonstration costs, costs for merchandise displays, point-of-sale materials and
premium items, sponsorship expenses, other marketing expenses and design
expenses. Operating expenses also include payroll costs, travel costs,
professional service fees including legal fees, termination payments made to
certain of our prior distributors, entertainment, insurance, postage,
depreciation and other general and administrative costs.
Stock-Based Compensation – We
account for share-based compensation arrangements in accordance with the
provisions of ASC 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation which
requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all
share-based payment awards to employees and directors based on estimated fair
values. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula to estimate the
fair value of our stock options at the date of grant. The Black-Scholes-Merton
option pricing formula was developed for use in estimating the fair value of
traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Our
employee stock options, however, have characteristics significantly different
from those of traded options. For example, employee stock options are generally
subject to vesting restrictions and are generally not transferable. In addition,
option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions,
including the expected stock price volatility, the expected life of an option
and the number of awards ultimately expected to vest. Changes in subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates of an option.
Furthermore, the estimated fair value of an option does not necessarily
represent the value that will ultimately be realized by an employee. We use
historical data to estimate the expected price volatility, the expected option
life and the expected forfeiture rate. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S.
Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the estimated life of
the option. If actual results are not consistent with our assumptions and
judgments used in estimating the key assumptions, we may be required to increase
or decrease compensation expense or income tax expense, which could be material
to our results of operations.
Management
Discussion and Analysis:
Since the
middle of 2006, the company has engaged in significant marketing and sales
activities related to the business plan of selling functional beverages and
dietary supplements. For the
2008 fiscal year, the company
generated revenues of $2,179,055 and incurred a net loss of $6,232,123, of which
$2,824,252 was non-cash related. The net loss includes general and
administrative expenses related to the costs of start-up operations and a
significant amount of marketing expenses related to establishing our brand in
the market through slotting fees, in-store advertising and sampling events.
Further, the company
has generated revenues of $1,543,799 and $3,861,549 for the quarterly and
nine-month period ending September 30, 2009, respectively, and resulted in a net
loss of $3,636,095 for the nine month period ending September 30, 2009. The net
loss for September 30, 2009 includes general and administrative expenses
related to the recognition of non-cash items for employee option expense and
debt conversion cost in the amount of $1,220,147. A significant amount of
marketing expenses was related to establishing the Skinny® brand in current
markets and opening up new markets and distribution. In
addition, the net loss includes a significant amount of public company expenses
incurred as a reporting company. Since the date of the merger and
reorganization, we have raised capital through private sales of common equity
and debt securities.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Cash
Flow
Cash and
cash equivalents totaled $29,479 at September 30, 2009, compared to $216,206 at
September 30, 2008. The change in cash and cash equivalents primarily reflects
our use of funds during the year for operations, partially offset by operating
losses.
28
Operating
Activities
Net cash
used in operating activities totaled $3,197,891 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 as compared to $2,671,819 for September 30, 2008. This is
primarily attributable to operating losses of $3,636,095 and to create
additional inventory to service our increased revenue base, partially offset by
non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $1,240,560.
Investing
Activities
Net cash
used in investing activities totaled $884,863 in the period ended September 30,
2009 as compared to $0 for the prior year period. Cash used in
investing activities primarily represented net purchases of the Skinny Trademark
and other fixed assets
Financing
Activities
Net cash
provided by financing activities totaled $3,876,224 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2009 and $2,869,285 for the prior year period. Cash provided by
financing activities was primarily due to our sale of our securities in private
placements.
Satisfaction
of Cash Requirements and Financing Activities
We have
historically primarily been funded through the issuance of common stock, debt
securities and external borrowings. We believe that net cash on hand as of the
date of this report is only sufficient to meet our expected cash needs for
working capital and capital expenditures for a period of less than twelve months
and without raising additional capital, the Company will be limited in its
projected growth. Accordingly, we have an immediate need for additional capital.
To raise additional funds, we intend to either undertake private placements of
our securities, either as a self-offering or with the assistance of registered
broker-dealers, or negotiate a private sale of our securities to one or more
institutional investors. We currently have no firm agreements with any
third-parties for additional transactions and no assurances can be given that we
will be successful in raising sufficient capital from any of these proposed
financings. Further, we cannot be assured that any additional financing will be
available or, even if it is available that it will be on terms acceptable to us.
Any inability to obtain required financing on sufficiently favorable terms could
have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition. If we are unsuccessful in raising additional capital and
increasing revenues from operations, we will need to reduce costs and operations
substantially. Further, if expenditures required to achieve our plans are
greater than projected or if revenues are less than, or are generated more
slowly than, projected, we will need to raise a greater amount of funds than
currently expected. Without realization of additional capital, it would be
unlikely for us to continue as a going concern.
We have
developed operating plans that project profitability based on known assumptions
of units sold, retail and wholesale pricing, cost of goods sold, operating
expenses as well as the investment in advertising and marketing. These operating
plans are adjusted monthly based on actual results for the current period and
projected into the future and include statement of operations, balance sheets
and sources and uses of cash. If we are able to meet our operating targets,
however, we believe that we will be able to satisfy our working capital
requirements. No assurances can be given that our operating plans are accurate
nor can any assurances be provided that we will attain any such targets that we
may develop.
2009
Financing Activities
The
Company conducted a private offering in reliance upon the exemption from
registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506
promulgated thereunder pursuant to which it sought to raise an aggregate amount
of $2,100,000 of shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The shares of Series A
Preferred Stock had an initial conversion rate of $0.06 per share, with
customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events. As
of June 30, 2009, the Company accepted total subscriptions of $2,035,000 for an
aggregate of 20,035 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Of this amount, $535,000
was not released to the Company from escrow until July 2009. The Company's
consolidated statement of cash flow reflects the issuance of preferred stock in
the Offering of $1,500,000 since subscriptions for $535,000 were released to the
Company from escrow in July 2009, subsequent to the Company increasing the
number of authorized shares of common stock on July 6, 2009, which triggered the
automatic conversion of preferred shares to common. Therefore, the Company
issued 8,916,667 common shares in lieu of 5,350 preferred shares. The Company is
using the proceeds from this offering for working capital, repayment of debt and
general corporate purposes. The Company agreed to pay commissions to registered
broker-dealers that procured investors in this offering and issue such persons
warrants to purchase such number of shares as equals 10% of the total number of
shares actually sold in the Offering to investors procured by them. Such
warrants shall be exercisable at the per share price of $0.07 for a period of
five years from the date of issuance. The securities offered have not been
registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United
States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration
requirements. Based on the representations made in the transaction documents,
the Company believes that the investors are "accredited investors", as defined
in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act.
Following
the approval by the Company's stockholders of the proposal to increase the
Company's authorized number of shares of Common Stock, the Company filed a
Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the State of
Nevada on July 6, 2009. In accordance with the Certificate of Designation,
Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock, upon the
effectiveness of such filing, all of the 20,350 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock subscribed for by investors were automatically convertible into an
aggregate of 33,916,667 shares of common stock. As of September 30, 2009,
holders of 9,080 shares of Series A Preferred Stock had received 15,133,333
shares of common stock upon conversion and the holders of the remaining shares
of Series A Preferred Stock have not yet surrendered such shares for
cancellation. The issuance of the foregoing securities were exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, under Section
3(a)(9).
29
In August 2009, the Company commenced a
private offering in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder (the “August Offering”) pursuant to which it
is offering an aggregate amount of $2,500,000 of shares of Common Stock. The
shares of Common Stock are being offered and sold at a purchase price of $0.06
per share. As of October 23, 2009, the Company had accepted subscriptions of
$575,000 for an aggregate of 9,583,335 shares of Common Stock. Net proceeds from
such sales are approximately $535,000. The Company intends to use the proceeds
from the Offering for working capital, repayment of debt and general corporate
purposes. There can be no assurance that the Company will complete the offering
on the anticipated terms, or at all. The Company's ability to complete the
offering will depend, among other things, on market conditions. In addition, the
Company's ability to complete this offering and its business are subject to
risks described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The Company agreed to pay commissions to registered broker-dealers
that procured investors in the Offering and issue such persons warrants to
purchase such number of shares that equals 10% of the total number of shares
actually sold in the Offering to investors procured by them. Such warrants shall
be exercisable at the per share price of $0.07 for a period of five years from
the date of issuance. The
shares being offered have not been registered under the Securities Act or any
state securities laws and will be offered in reliance upon the exemption from
registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D,
promulgated thereunder. Such shares may not be offered or sold in the United
States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration
requirements. This disclosure does not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to buy any the Company’s securities, nor will there be
any sale of these securities by the Company in any state or jurisdiction in
which the offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The disclosure is being
issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c promulgated under the
Act.
2008
Financing Activities
As
previously reported, we commenced a private offering of our common stock in
December 2007 for up to a maximum of $3,200,000 of shares at an offering price
of $0.04 per share and we had received subscriptions of approximately $3.1
million. In this offering, we received gross proceeds of $3,163,000 and sold an
aggregate of 79,075,000 shares of common stock to accredited investors. After
giving effect to offering expenses and commissions, the Company received net
proceeds of approximately $2.8 million. The Company agreed to pay commissions to
registered broker-dealers that procured investors in the offering and issue such
persons warrants to purchase such number of shares as equals 10% of the total
number of shares actually sold in the offering to investors procured by them.
Agent warrants shall be exercisable at the per share price of $0.05 for a period
of five years from the date of issuance. Based on the foregoing, agents have
earned an aggregate of $55,000 in commissions and 1,362,500
warrants.
In
addition, as previously reported, commencing in November 2008, we conducted a
private offering in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder pursuant
to which we sought to raise an aggregate amount of $1,875,000 of shares of
common stock (the “November Offering”). On February 5, 2009, the Company
completed the November Offering. Total proceeds raised in the November Offering
were $1,867,690 and the subscribers purchased an aggregate of 31,128,167 shares
of common stock. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the November
Offering of approximately $1,800,000 for working capital, repayment of debt and
general corporate purposes. In connection with the November Offering, the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman agreed
not to exercise a total of 12,000,000 options and 2,000,000 warrants
beneficially owned by them until such time as the Company’s stockholders adopt
an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of the
Company’s authorized shares of common stock. The Company agreed to pay
commissions to registered broker-dealers that procured investors and issue such
persons warrants to purchase such number of shares as equals 10% of the total
number of shares actually sold in the November Offering to investors procured by
them. Agent warrants are exercisable at the per share price of $0.07 for a
period of five years from the date of issuance. We paid total commissions of
$20,959 and issued agent warrants to purchase 349,317 shares of common stock.
The securities offered have not been registered under the Securities Act and may
not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable
exemption from registration requirements. Based on the representations made in
the transaction documents, the Company believes that the Investors are
“accredited investors”, as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under
the Securities Act.
In
addition to these transactions, the Company sold an aggregate of $175,000 of
shares of its common stock to three individual accredited investors in private
sales and issued these investors a total of 3,541,667 shares of common stock. In
connection with the offering, the Company relied on the exemption from
registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Based on the representations made in the transaction documents, the Company
believes that the Investors are “accredited investors”, as such term is defined
in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act.

Debenture
Conversions/Warrant Exercises
During
fiscal 2008, holders of convertible debentures and warrants previously issued by
the Company converted or exercised such securities into shares of common stock
and warrants as follows. In January 2008, the Company issued 725,000 shares of
common stock upon the conversion of an aggregate amount of $72,500 of
outstanding convertible debentures (inclusive of interest). The
company also issued 300,000 shares of common stock in exchange for a $15,000
note. On January 25, 2008, the Company issued 900,000 shares of
common stock and 112,500 common stock purchase warrants upon the conversion of
an aggregate amount of $45,000 (inclusive of accrued interest of $15,000) of
outstanding convertible debentures. The warrants issued upon conversion of these
debentures are exercisable for a period of three years at an exercise price of
$0.50 per share. On March 3, 2008, the Company issued 300,000 shares of common
stock upon the conversion of an aggregate amount of $15,000 of outstanding
convertible debentures. On March 20, 2008, the Company issued 1,125,000 shares

issued 776,828 shares of common stock upon the conversion of an aggregate amount
of $108,756 of convertible debentures (inclusive of accrued interest of $18,756)
to the holders upon the conversion of such securities. The Company also issued
an aggregate of 111,084 shares of common stock upon the exercise of common stock
purchase warrants pursuant to a cashless exercise provisions contained in such
warrants in June 2008 and in August 2008 issued an aggregate of 87,692 shares of
common stock upon the exercise of common stock purchase warrants pursuant to a
cashless exercise provision contained in such warrants. In November 2008, the
Company issued 129,589 shares of common stock upon the exercise of common stock

principal amount of $4,000 agreed to convert such amount, along with $1,550 in
interest, into 92,500 shares of common stock at a conversion rate of $.06 a
share. These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and were issued in reliance upon the exemption for
registration set forth in Section 3(a)(9) thereof.
In
September 2009, we issued 737,805 shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of
certain common stock purchase warrants previously issued. The holder of such
warrants exercised a total of 1,500,000 warrants on a “cashless exercise”
basis. In October 2009, we issued 764,912 shares of Common Stock upon

exercise” basis. The shares of common stock issued upon exercise of these
warrants were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
were offered and sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration set forth
in Section 3(a)(9) thereof.
Other
Transactions Impacting our Capital Resources
On April 4, 2007,
the Company closed on a secure loan arrangement with Valley
Green Bank pursuant to which it received funds in the amount of $350,000.
Interest will be charged on the unpaid principal of this loan arrangement until
the full amount of principal has been paid at the rate of 8.25% per
annum and
is paid on a monthly basis. The
Company was
initially
obligated
to repay this new loan in full immediately on the bank’s demand, but in no event
later than March 20, 2008. Since that
date the bank has extended the term of the loan. The current balance as of
September 30, 2009 is $89,999. The loan is secured by
collateral consisting of a perfected first priority pledge of certain marketable
securities held by the Company’s Chairman and entities with which he is
affiliated. The Company also agreed to a confession of judgment in favor of the
bank in the event it defaults under the loan agreements. The loan agreements
also require the consent of the bank for certain actions, including incurring
additional debt and incurring certain liens. The maturity of this loan has been
extended to July, 2010 and this obligation has been paid down by an additional
$10,000. On January 10, 2008 the Company issued two million shares of stock to
Chairman in consideration for his personal guarantee of the Valley Green
Loan.
31
On
November 23, 2007, the Company entered into a one-year factoring agreement with
United Capital Funding of Florida (“UCF”) which provided for an initial
borrowing limit of $300,000. This arrangement has been renewed and the borrowing
limit has been incrementally increased to extend our line to the lesser of 85%
of outstanding eligible receivables or $2,000,000. As of September
30, 2009, we had $614,228 outstanding through this arrangement. All accounts submitted
for purchase must be approved by UCF. The applicable factoring fee is 0.30% of
the face amount of each purchased account and the purchase price is 85% of the
face amount. UCF will retain the balance as a reserve, which it holds until the
customer pays the factored invoice to UCF. In the event the reserve account is
less than the required reserve amount, we will be obligated to pay UCF the
shortfall. In addition to the factoring fee, we will also be responsible for
certain additional fees upon the occurrence of certain contractually-specified
events. As collateral securing the obligations, we granted UCF a continuing
first priority security interest in all accounts and related inventory and
intangibles. Upon the occurrence of certain contractually-specified events, UCF
may require us to repurchase a purchased account on demand. In connection with
this arrangement, each of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer agreed to
personally guarantee our obligations to UCF. The agreement will automatically
renew for successive one year terms until terminated. Either party may terminate
the agreement on three month’s prior written notice. We are liable for an early
termination fee in the event we fail to provide them with the required written
notice.
In
connection with its establishment of an advisory board in March 2008 and
execution of a consulting agreement with one advisor, the Company agreed to
issue to such persons a total of 6,000,000 common stock purchase warrants to the
advisors. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at a price of
$0.05. In addition, the Company also agreed in March 2008 to issue 1,000,000
additional warrants to an individual consultant not serving on the advisory
board in consideration of consulting services to be provided to the Company on
the same terms as described above. Further, in May 2009, the Company agreed to
issue an additional 3,000,000 warrants to an advisory board member and a
consultant, which warrants are exercisable for five years at a price of $0.08
per share. The issuance of the foregoing warrants was exempt from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, under Section 4(2) thereof
inasmuch as the securities were issued without any form of general solicitation
or general advertising and the acquirers were either accredited investors or
otherwise provided with access to material information concerning the
Company.
In May
2009, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Pasqual W. Croce, Jr. and
Liquid Mojo, LLC (together, “Croce”), a holder of more that 5% of our
outstanding common stock, pursuant to which the parties agreed, subject to the
conditions of this new agreement, to cancel the ongoing royalty obligation
payable to Croce by the Company under the agreement entered into between the
Company and Croce in February 2008. In consideration of the agreement by Croce
to waive future royalties, the Company agreed to issue to Croce warrants to
purchase an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock, exercisable for a
period of five years at a price of $0.05 per share. Further, on August 14, 2009,
the Company approved a grant of 2,000,000 warrants to Mr. Croce in consideration
for his services on our advisory board and for additional consulting services
rendered. These warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at a per
share exercise price equal of $0.06.
On
January 10, 2008 the Company issued two million shares of stock to Chairman in
consideration for his personal guarantee of the Valley Green Loan. On March 24,
2008, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the grant of an aggregate of
2,075,000 restricted shares of common stock to each of Mr. Michael Salaman, its
Chairman and Mr. Donald McDonald, its Chief Executive Officer, in consideration
of their agreement to provide a personal guaranty in connection with the
factoring agreement the Company entered into in November 2007.
On July
6, 2009, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of
Incorporation in the State of Nevada to increase the number of its authorized
shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, to 500,000,000 shares. On
July 2, 2009, at the Company’s 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the
Company’s stockholders had approved the amendment to the Company’s Articles of
Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common
stock.
During
the quarter ended September 30, 2009, we granted an aggregate of 1,698,334
shares of restricted common stock to certain third parties in consideration of
rent due and for services rendered and an aggregate of 346,468 shares to
executive officers for accrued benefits and compensation. The
issuance of the foregoing securities were exempt from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act of 1933 as transactions by an issuer not involving any public
offering as the recipients acquired the securities for investment only and not
with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof and the
securities were issued without general solicitation or
advertising.
32
Break
Even and Profitability
We have
developed a financial plan that shows that if our assumptions for the cost of
marketing and distribution are correct, we will be targeting breakeven during
calendar year 2010 if we generate meaningful sales of our products. However, our
expectations may not be correct, our expenses may increase, our business
arrangements may not result in the level of sales that we anticipate and we
cannot offer any assurance that we will be able to achieve sufficient sales to
realize this target during next year.
Product
Research and Development
We intend
to expand our line of products, as described in the “Overview” section of this
Management’s Discussion and Analysis, at such time as management believes that
market conditions are appropriate. Management will base this determination on
the rate of market acceptance of the products we currently offer. We do not
engage in material product research and development activities. New products are
formulated based on our license arrangements with our suppliers and
licensors.
Marketing
and Sales Strategy
Management’s
primary marketing objective is to cost-effectively promote our brand and to
build sales of our products through our retail accounts and distributor
relationships. The company will use a combination of sampling, radio, online
advertising, public relations and promotional/event strategies to accomplish
this objective. Management believes that proper in-store merchandising is a key
element to providing maximum exposure to its brand and that retailer’s focus on
effective shelf and display merchandising in order to yield increased revenue
per shopping customer.
Through
our arrangement with Target Corporation we continue to sell Skinny Water through
approximately 1,700 stores nationally. The company has initiated contact with
several retailers who are reviewing our Skinny Waters. These retailers include
convenience stores, supermarkets, drug stores and club stores. As described
below, we are also developing a National Direct Store Delivery (DSD) network of
distributors in local markets. To date, we have contracted with 55 DSDs in 23
states in the U.S. Currently we have been authorized to sell Skinny products in
all ACME Markets, Giant of Carlisle, select Shop Rite stores and select Walgreen
stores. Skinny products are now sold in over 2,500
stores.
In
connection with our marketing campaign, we have expended $2,083,646 for the year
ended December 31, 2008 compared to $721,442 for the year ended December 31,
2007 to fund various advertising and marketing programs to introduce our
products to numerous distribution channels and retail outlets in the U.S. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2009, our marketing expenditures were
$2,109,237 as compared to $1,011,297 for the prior year period. These programs
have included developing marketing strategies and collateral material,
conducting advertising initiatives and investing in initial store placements and
additional sales managers. We expect to continue to incur significant marketing
and advertising expenditures during 2009 to promote our products on a
national basis. We believe that marketing and advertising are critical to our
success.
Distribution
Strategy
The
company’s distribution strategy is to build out a national direct store delivery
(DSD) network of local distributors, creating a national distribution system to
sell our products. Distributors include beer wholesalers, non-alcoholic
distributors, and energy beverage distributors. To date, we have contracted with
55 DSDs in 23 states in the U.S.. We work with the DSD to obtain
corporate authorization from chain stores in a particular market. It often takes
more than one DSD to deliver to all the stores within a chain. The company must
coordinate promotions and advertising between the chain stores and the DSD. The
company also negotiates any slotting fees that are required for product
placement.
We also
distribute our products directly to select national retail accounts based on
purchase order relationships. DSDs will distribute to grocery, convenience,
health clubs, retail drug, and health food establishments. We will contract with
independent trucking companies to transport the product from contract packers to
distributors. Distributors will then sell and deliver our products directly to
retail outlets, and such distributors or sub-distributors stock the retailers’
shelves with the products. Distributors are responsible for merchandising the
product at store level. We are responsible for managing our network of
distributors and the hiring of sales managers, who are responsible for their
respective specific channel of sales distribution.
33
As
previously disclosed, on July 16, 2009, we entered into a distribution agreement
(the “Distribution Agreement”) with Canada Dry Bottling Company of New York (the
“Distributor”) under which the Distributor has been appointed as the Company’s
exclusive distributor of Skinny Water and other products in the New York City
metropolitan area (the “Territory”). The Company also granted the Distributor a
right of first refusal to serve as the Company’s exclusive distributor in the
Territory for new or additional beverages that it wishes to introduce in the
Territory. Distributor will use reasonable efforts to promote the sale of the
Products in the Territory; however, no performance targets are mandated by the
Distribution Agreement. Under the Distribution Agreement, the Company agreed to
pay a specified amount to the Distributor for any sales of Products made by the
Company in the Territory to customers that do not purchase Products from outside
distributors. In addition, the Company agreed to cover a minimum
amount for slotting fees during the initial term of the Distribution Agreement.
The Distribution Agreement may be terminated by the Company due to a material
breach of the agreement by or the insolvency of the Distributor, subject to
notice and cure provisions. The Distributor may terminate the Distribution
Agreement at any time upon written notice. Following any termination, the
Company will purchase or cause a third party to purchase all inventory and
materials that are in good and merchantable condition and are not otherwise
obsolete or unusable. The price to be paid for such materials shall be equal to
the Distributor’s laid-in cost of all such inventory and materials. In the event
the Company elects not to renew the Distribution Agreement at the end of the
initial term or any renewal term and Distributor is not otherwise in breach of
the Agreement with the time to cure such breach having expired, the Company
shall pay Distributor, a termination penalty based on a multiple of its gross
profit per case, as calculated pursuant to the terms of the Distribution
Agreement. The Agreement is a multi-year contract with automatic renewal
provisions, unless either party provides notice of
non-renewal. The agreement also provides for customary
covenants by the parties regarding insurance and indemnification.
In
addition, we have and may continue to seek to augment our distribution network
by establishing relationships with larger distributors in markets that are
already served. To the extent that we need to terminate an agreement with an
existing distributor in order to accomplish this, we may be required to pay a
termination fee unless we have grounds to terminate a distributor for cause.
Although our payment of such fees have not bee material to date, such amounts
may increase in subsequent quarters.
Purchase or sale of plant or
significant equipment
As of the
date of this Report, we do not have any plans to purchase plant or significant
equipment.
Expected
changes in the number of employees
As of
September 30, 2009, we have 19 employees including our executive
officers.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We have
not created, and are not party to, any special-purpose or off-balance sheet
entities for the purpose of raising capital, incurring debt or operating parts
of our business that are not consolidated into our financial statements and do
not have any arrangements or relationships with entities that are not
consolidated into our financial statements that are reasonably likely to
materially affect our liquidity or the availability of our capital
resources.
We have
entered into various agreements by which we may be obligated to indemnify the
other party with respect to certain matters. Generally, these indemnification
provisions are included in contracts arising in the normal course of business
under which we customarily agree to hold the indemnified party harmless against
losses arising from a breach of the contract terms. Payments by us under such
indemnification clauses are generally conditioned on the other party making a
claim. Such claims are generally subject to challenge by us and to dispute
resolution procedures specified in the particular contract. Further, our
obligations under these arrangements may be limited in terms of time and/or
amount and, in some instances, we may have recourse against third parties for
certain payments made by us. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential
amount of future payments under these indemnification agreements due to the
conditional nature of our obligations and the unique facts of each particular
agreement. Historically, we have not made any payments under these agreements
that have been material individually or in the aggregate. As of September 30,
2009, we were not aware of any obligations under such indemnification agreements
that would require material payments.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Below is
a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements. Recent
pronouncements not discussed below were deemed to not be applicable to the
Company.
FASB
Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy
of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
34
In June
2009 the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 168 “The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a
replacement of FASB Statement No. 162”. (SFAS No.
168). SFAS No. 168 established the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification. The Codification will become the exclusive
authoritative reference for nongovernmental U.S. GAAP for use in
financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after
September 15, 2009, except for SEC rules and interpretive releases, which are
also authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The contents of the
Codification will carry the same level of authority, eliminating the four-level
GAAP hierarchy previously set forth in Statement 162, which has been superseded
by Statement 168. All authoritative GAAP issued by the FASB after
this Statement will be referred to as Accounting Standards
Updates. Accounting Standards Updates will not be considered
authoritative in their own right, rather they will only serve to update the
Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide
basis for conclusions on changes in the Codification. The
Codification retains existing GAAP without changing it except in one instance
related to software revenue recognition, which does not impact the
Company. SFAS No. 168 is effective for the Company for the interim
period ending September 30, 2009 and effective for the Form 10-Q for the period
ending September 30, 2009, all references to authoritative literature are
required to cite the Codification as opposed to legacy accounting
pronouncements.
ASC
Topic 820-10-65, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity
for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying
Transactions That Are Not Orderly
In June
2009, FASB issued guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a
transaction is not orderly and guidance on identifying estimating fair value in
accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or
liability have significantly decreased. This guidance emphasizes that
fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date under current market conditions. This
guidance requires additional disclosures for instruments within the
scope of SFAS 157. This guidance was adopted by the Company, for the
interim period beginning April 1, 2009, and did not have a
material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of
operations.
ASC
Topic 855, Subsequent Events
In May
2009, the FASB issued guidance on the evaluation of subsequent events and
requires the disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been
evaluated. This guidance was adopted by the Company for the interim
period June 30, 2009.
ASC
Topic 825-10-50, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Instruments (ASC Topic
825-10-65)
In April
2009 the FASB issued guidance which requires publicly traded companies to
disclose the fair value of financial instruments within the scope of FAS 107 in
interim financial statements. This guidance was adopted by the
Company for the interim period beginning April 1, 2009.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk.
Not
applicable.
Item
4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure
Controls
As of the
end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the
chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). 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 is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the
cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
35
Based on
that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of
the end of the period to provide reasonable assurance that information we are
required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is accurately recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange
Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. In connection with the preparation and review of this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, it was determined
that there existed a material weakness in our internal control over financial
reporting, as described below:
·
|
We
did not apply or calculate the adjustments required by the FASB ASC Topic
470-20 "Debt with Conversion and Other Options" in connection with the
convertible preferred stock. This resulted in a material adjustment to the
financial statements for the beneficial conversion feature. Accordingly
this control deficiency constitutes a material
weakness.
|
In light
of the material weaknesses our management continues to perform additional
analyses and other post-closing procedures to ensure that our unaudited interim
condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
("GAAP"). Accordingly, our management believes that the unaudited interim
condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly
present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows for the periods presented.
Internal
Controls
Other
than as identified above, there were no changes in our internal control over
financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal
controls over financial reporting.
We do not
expect that disclosure controls or internal controls over financial reporting
will prevent all errors or all instances of fraud. A control system, no matter
how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute,
assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. Further, the design
of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints,
and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because
of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls
can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud,
if any, within its company have been detected. These inherent limitations
include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that
breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be
circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more
people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of
controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of
future events, and any design may not succeed in achieving its stated goals
under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance
with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitation of a
cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and
not be detected.

Part
II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item
1. Legal Proceedings.
We are
not currently a party to any lawsuit or proceeding which, in the opinion of our
management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on us.
However,
we are subject to other claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of
business. Our management considers that any liability from any reasonably
foreseeable disposition of such other claims and litigation, individually or in
the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Item
1A. Risk Factors
Our
operating results and financial condition have varied in the past and may in the
future vary significantly depending on a number of factors. In addition to the
other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the
factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” sections in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and in our Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 for a
discussion of the risks associated with our business, financial condition and
results of operations. These factors, among others, could have a material
adverse effect upon our business, results of operations, financial condition or
liquidity and cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained
in statements made in this report and presented elsewhere by management from
time to time. The risks identified by the Company in its reports are not the
only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to
us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may materially adversely
affect our business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. We
believe there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those
disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2008 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended
March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009.
Item
2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of
Proceeds
We did
not issue any securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2009 other than
those disclosed elsewhere herein and in previous SEC filings.
During
the quarter ended September 30, 2009, we did not repurchase any shares of
our common stock.
Item
3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
Item
4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security
Holders
On
July 2, 2009, we held our Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The record date
for determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of, and vote at, the
meeting was May 12, 2009. As of such date, there were issued and outstanding
225,484,079 shares of Common Stock and 12,795 shares of Series A Preferred
Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled for voting purposes to
the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which it
is then convertible, rounded to the nearest whole number and is entitled to vote
together with the holders of Common Stock on all matters as to which holders of
Common Stock are entitled to vote, as a single class. Accordingly, a total of
246,809,079 votes were entitled to vote on the matters presented at this
meeting.
Election
of directors:
In
connection with the stockholders meeting, we solicited proxies for the election
of Ronald D. Wilson, Michael Salaman, Donald J. McDonald and William R Sasso as
our directors. Our stockholders voted to elect each of the following persons by
the votes indicated below:

Additionally,
we solicited proxies for (i) the approval of an amendment to our Articles
of Incorporate to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock from
250,000,000 to 500,000,000; (ii) the approval of an amendment to our Articles of
Incorporate to increase the authorized number of shares of preferred stock from
1,000,000 to 2,000,000; and (iii) the adoption of our 2009 Equity Incentive
Compensation Plan. Approval of both of the proposals to amend the Articles of
Incorporation required the affirmative vote by holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock entitled to vote
on the matters. Therefore, in each of these cases an abstention or a broker “non
vote” had the effect of a negative vote. Approval of the adoption of the 2009
Equity Incentive Compensation Plan required the affirmative vote by holders of
at least a majority of the votes cast at the meeting. Shares deemed present at
the meeting but not entitled to vote, such as in the case of broker “non votes”
had no effect on this proposal. At the meeting, our stockholders approved the
amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized
shares of common stock and the adoption of the 2009 Equity Incentive
Compensation Plan. However, we did not receive the requisite vote of our
stockholders necessary to approve the proposal to amend our Articles of
Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of preferred stock.
Shares were voted at the stockholders meeting on these items as
follows:

Item
5. Other Information
On November 9, 2009, we consummated a
subsequent closing of an additional $216,000 of shares of common stock in our
private offering pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section
4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), and Rule 506
promulgated thereunder. The shares of Common Stock are being offered and sold at
a purchase price of $0.06 per share. In this closing, we issued an additional
3,600,000 shares of common stock. Net proceeds from such sales are approximately
$206,000. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering for working
capital, repayment of debt and general corporate purposes. There can be no
assurance that the Company will complete the offering on the anticipated terms,
or at all. The Company's ability to complete the offering will depend, among
other things, on market conditions. In addition, the Company's ability to
complete this offering and its business are subject to risks described in the
Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The shares being offered have not been
registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and will be
offered in reliance upon the exemption from registration set forth in Section
4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D, promulgated thereunder. Such shares
may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an
applicable exemption from registration requirements. This disclosure does not
constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any the
Company’s securities, nor will there be any sale of these securities by the
Company in any state or jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale
would be unlawful. The disclosure is being issued pursuant to and in accordance
with Rule 135c promulgated under the Act.
