LIBERATOR, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of September 30, 2009
(Unaudited)
 
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Overview We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 31, 2007 under the name Remark Enterprises, Inc.  On April 3, 2009, we entered into a Stock Purchase and Recapitalization Agreement with OneUp Innovations, Inc., a privately held Georgia corporation (“OneUp”), and One Up Acquisition, Inc. (“Subsidiary”), our wholly owned Georgia subsidiary.  On June 26, 2009, we consummated the transactions contemplated by the agreement.  Pursuant to the agreement, the Subsidiary and OneUp merged, and all of the issued and outstanding common stock of OneUp was exchanged for an aggregate of 45,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (90% of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company).  In addition, all of the issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock of OneUp was exchanged for 4,300,000 shares of preferred stock of the Company.  After the merger, OneUp became our wholly owned subsidiary, and our business operations were conducted through OneUp.  On July 2, 2009, we changed our name to “Liberator, Inc.”

The Agreement has been accounted for as a reverse merger, and as such the historical financial statements of Liberator are being presented herein with those of the Company.  Also, the capital structure of the Company for all periods presented herein is different from that appearing in the historical financial statements of the Company due to the recapitalization accounting.

On September 2, 2009, we acquired the majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of WES Consulting, Inc., a Florida corporation (“WES”)  in accordance with a common stock purchase agreement by and among the Company and Belmont Partners, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“Belmont”) and WES.  Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company acquired 972,000 shares (81%) of WES from Belmont for a total of two hundred forty thousand five hundred dollars ($240,500) in addition to the issuance by WES of two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) warrants to Belmont to purchase an equal number of shares of WES’ common stock with an exercise price of twenty five cents ($0.25), and the issuance by WES of a total of one million five hundred thousand (1,500,000) shares of WES’ common stock with seven hundred fifty thousand (750,000) shares delivered on September 2, 2009 and the balance of seven hundred fifty thousand (750,000) shares to be delivered on September 2, 2010.

 The Company’s executive offices are located at 2745 Bankers Industrial Drive, Atlanta, Georgia 30360.  The Company is a Georgia-based sexual wellness retailer, providing goods and information to customers who believe that sensual pleasure and fulfillment are essential to a well-lived and healthy life. 

Going Concern – The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company incurred a net loss of $514,756 and $347,106 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and as of September 30, 2009 the Company has an accumulated deficit of $530,722 and a working capital deficit of $536,826.

In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financing requirements, and the success of its future operations.  Management believes that actions presently being taken to revise the Company's operating and financial requirements provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

 These actions include initiatives to increase gross profit margins through improved production controls and reporting. To that end, the Company recently implemented a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software system. We also plan to reduce discretionary expense levels to be better aligned with current revenue levels.  Furthermore, our plan of operation in the next twelve months continues a strategy for growth within our existing lines of business with an on-going focus on growing domestic sales. We estimate that the operational and strategic development plans we have identified will require approximately $2,300,000 of funding. We expect to invest approximately $500,000 for additional inventory of sexual wellness products and $1,800,000 on sales and marketing programs, primarily sexual wellness advertising in magazines and on cable television. We will also be exploring the opportunity to acquire other compatible businesses.
 
We plan to finance the required $2,300,000 with a combination of anticipated cash flow from operations over the next twelve months as well as cash on hand and cash raised through equity and debt financings.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations.  However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing these plans.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of Liberator, Inc. and our wholly owned operating subsidiaries, OneUp Innovations, Inc. and Foam Labs, Inc.   Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. 
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period reported.  Management reviews these estimates and assumptions periodically and reflects the effect of revisions in the period that they are determined to be necessary.  Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Significant estimates in these consolidated financial statements include estimates of: asset impairment; income taxes; tax valuation reserves; restructuring reserve; loss contingencies; allowances for doubtful accounts; share-based compensation; and useful lives for depreciation and amortization.  Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition   
  
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition.”  (“SAB No. 104”).  SAB No. 104 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) title has transferred; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.  The Company uses contracts and customer purchase orders to determine the existence of an arrangement. The Company uses shipping documents and third-party proof of delivery to verify that title has transferred. The Company assesses whether the fee is fixed or determinable based upon the terms of the agreement associated with the transaction. To determine whether collection is probable, the Company assesses a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the creditworthiness of the customer. If the Company determines that collection is not reasonably assured, then the recognition of revenue is deferred until collection becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of payment.
  
The Company records product sales net of estimated product returns and discounts from the list prices for its products. The amounts of product returns and the discount amounts have not been material to date. The Company includes shipping and handling costs in cost of product sales.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

            The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects management's best estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance.  The Company determines the allowance based on historical experience, specifically identified nonpaying accounts and other currently available evidence.  The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly with a focus on significant individual past due balances over 90 days.  Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers.  At September 30, 2009, accounts receivable totaled $431,303 net of $15,178 in the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Market is defined as sales price less cost to dispose and a normal profit margin.  Inventory costs include materials, labor, depreciation and overhead.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable.  As of September 30, 2009, substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents were managed by a number of financial institutions.  As of September 30, 2009 our cash and cash equivalents with certain of these financial institutions exceed FDIC insured limits.  Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers primarily located in the United States and Canada.

Fair Value of Financial and Derivative Instruments

The Company values its financial instruments in accordance with new accounting guidance on fair value measurements which, for certain financial assets and liabilities, requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 
Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

At September 30, 2009, our financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other long-term debt.

The fair values of these financial instruments approximated their carrying values based on either their short maturity or current terms for similar instruments.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed in the period when the advertisements are first aired or distributed to the public. Prepaid advertising (included in prepaid expenses) was $52,658 at September 30, 2009 and $57,625 at June 30, 2009. Advertising expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $178,132 and $260,780, respectively.
 
Research and Development

Research and development expenses for new products are expensed as they are incurred.  Expenses for new product development totaled $51,522 for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and $31,120 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Research and development costs are included in general and administrative expense.

Shipping and Handling

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 includes amounts charged to customers of $162,938 and $301,803, respectively, for shipping and handling charges.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over estimated service lives for financial reporting purposes.

Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When properties are disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized currently.

Operating Leases

The Company leases its facility under a ten year operating lease that was signed in September 2005 and expires December 31, 2015.  The lease is on an escalating schedule with the final year on the lease at $34,358 per month.  The liability for this difference in the monthly payments is accounted for as a deferred rent liability and the balance in this account at September 30, 2009 is $351,454.  The Rent expense under this lease for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $80,931.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards measured by applying currently enacted tax laws. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce net deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The amount of the valuation allowance is based on the Company’s best estimate of the recoverability of its deferred tax assets. On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted new accounting guidance for the accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions. This guidance seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of measurement and recognition in accounting for income taxes and provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, and accounting in interim periods and requires expanded disclosure with respect to the uncertainty in income taxes. The accounting guidance requires that the Company recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position.

Segment Information

During the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company only operated in one segment; therefore, segment information has not been presented.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance on accounting for transfers of financial assets. The new guidance removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity and removes a certain exception from applying previous FASB interpretations on the consolidation of variable interest entities to qualifying special-purpose entities. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company has not yet adopted the new guidance and does not expect that the new guidance will have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on accounting for the consolidation of variable interest entities. The guidance amends certain previously existing guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity, requires an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether an enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, and requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. An identified primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity is an enterprise that has both the power to direct the activities of significant impact on a variable interest entity and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the variable interest entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2009. The Company has not yet adopted the new guidance and does not expect that the new guidance will have any impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 In June 2009, the FASB issued the FASB accounting standards codification and the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles. The primary purpose of this new accounting guidance is to improve clarity and use of existing standards by grouping authoritative literature under common topics. The new guidance does not change or alter existing GAAP. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company adopted the new guidance on July 1, 2009 and determined it did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock 

Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants using the “treasury stock” method and convertible securities using the “if-converted” method.
 
Reconciliations between the numerator and the denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 are as follows:

Basic and diluted earnings per share are the same in periods of a net loss, thus there is no effect of dilutive securities when a net loss is recorded.  There were approximately 5,400,849 and 438,456 securities excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to forecasted undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount exceeds its estimated future cash flows, then an impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value. Management has determined no asset impairment occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2009.

NOTE 6 – REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT

On March 19, 2008, the Company entered into a loan agreement for a revolving line of credit with a commercial finance company that provides credit to 85% of accounts receivable aged less than 90 days up to $500,000 and eligible inventory (as defined in the agreement) up to a sub-limit of $220,000, such inventory loan not to exceed 30% of the accounts receivable loan. Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at the Prime rate plus two percent (5.25 percent at June 30, 2009), payable monthly, plus a monthly service charge of 1.25% to 1.5%, depending on the underlying collateral.  At September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2009, the balance owed under the revolving line of credit was $0 and $171,433, respectively.

On November 10, 2009, the Company entered into a loan agreement for a revolving line of credit with a different commercial finance company that provides credit to 80% of domestic accounts receivable aged less than 90 days up to $250,000. Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at Prime rate plus six percent (9.25 percent as of November 10, 2009) plus a 2% annual facility fee and a .25% monthly collateral monitoring fee, as defined in the agreement.

Management believes cash flows generated from operations, along with current cash and investments as well as borrowing capacity under the line of credit should be sufficient to finance capital requirements required by operations. If new business opportunities do arise, additional outside funding may be required.

NOTE 7 – CREDIT CARD ADVANCE

On July 2, 2008 the Company received $350,000 from a finance company under the terms of a credit facility that is secured by the Company's future credit card receivables.  Terms of the credit facility require repayment on each business day of principal and interest at a daily rate of $1,507 over a twelve month period. The credit facility had a financing fee of 12% (equal to $42,000) on the principal amount, which equates to an effective annual interest rate of 21.1%.  The credit facility is personally guaranteed by the Company's CEO and majority shareholder, Louis Friedman.  On June 3, 2009, the Company borrowed an additional $200,000 under this credit facility. Terms of the current loan require repayment on each business day of principal and interest at a daily rate of $1,723.08 over a six month period. The current loan has a financing fee of 12% (equal to $24,000) on the principal amount, which equates to an effective annual interest rate of 43.2%.  The amount owed on the credit card advance was $102,609 at September 30, 2009 and $198,935 at June 30, 2009.
 
NOTE 8 – UNSECURED LINES OF CREDIT
 
The Company has drawn cash advances on three unsecured lines of credit that are in the name of the Company and Louis S. Friedman. The terms of these unsecured lines of credit call for monthly payments of principal and interest, with interest rates ranging from 12% to 18%. The aggregate amount owed on the three unsecured lines of credit was $119,071 at September 30, 2009 and $124,989 at June 30, 2009.

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Leases

The Company leases its facility under a ten year operating lease that was signed in September 2005 and expires December 31, 2015. The lease is on an escalating schedule with the final year on the lease at $34,358 per month. The liability for this difference in the monthly payments is accounted for as a deferred rent liability and the balance in this account at September 30, 2009 was $351,454 and $337,155 at June 30, 2009. The rent expense under this lease for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $80,931.

The lease for the facility requires the Company to provide a standby letter of credit payable to the lessor in the amount of $225,000 until December 31, 2010. The majority shareholder agreed to provide this standby letter of credit on the Company's behalf.  Upon expiration of the initial letter of credit, a letter of credit in the amount of $25,000 in lieu of a security deposit is required to be provided.

The Company leases certain material handling equipment under an operating lease.  The monthly lease amount is $4,082 per month and expires September 2012.

The Company also leases certain warehouse equipment under an operating lease.  The monthly lease is $508 per month and expires February 2011.

NOTE 10–  INCOME TAXES
 
There is no income tax provision (benefit) for federal or state income taxes as the Company has incurred operating losses since inception. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of net operating loss and tax credit carryovers and temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.

Utilization of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions. The Company may have experienced a change of control which could result in a substantial reduction to the previously reported net operating losses at June 30, 2009; however, the Company has not performed a change of control study and therefore has not determined if such change has taken place and if such a change has occurred the related reduction to the net operating loss carryforwards.  As of September 30, 2009, the net operating loss carryforwards continue to be fully reserved and any reduction in such amounts as a result of this study would also reduce the related valuation allowances resulting in no net impact to the financial results of the Company.

The Company applies the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No.48 (“FIN 48”) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.”  As of September 30, 2009, there was no significant liability for income tax associated with unrecognized tax benefits. 

With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, and non-U.S. income tax examination by tax authorities for tax years before 2003.

The Company issued 2,462,393 warrants during fiscal 2009 in conjunction with the merger with OneUp Innovations. All of these warrants are exercisable immediately and expire five years from the date of issuance, June 26, 2014. These warrants were valued using a volatility rate of 25% and a risk-free interest rate of 4.5%, as more fully described below:

 
1.
A total of 1,462,393 warrants were issued for services rendered by the placement agent in the private placement that closed on June 26, 2009. These warrants have fixed exercise prices of $.50 per share (292,479 warrants), $.75 per share (292,479 warrants) and $1.00 per share (877,435 warrants.)

2.
A total of 1,000,000 warrants were issued to Hope Capital at a fixed exercise price of $.75. The Company valued the warrants at $4,500 using the above assumptions and the expense was fully recognized during fiscal 2009.

 Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 and Three Months Ended September 30, 2008

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2009 decreased from the comparable prior year period by $610,831, or 23%.  The decrease in sales was experienced in all sales channels. Direct sales (which includes product sales through our three e-commerce sites and through our retail store) decreased from $1,387,227 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 to $1,169,788 in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, a decrease of approximately 16%, or $217,439.  One of the most frequent consumer discount offers during the three months ended September 30, 2009 was “free” or significantly reduced shipping and handling, which accounts for the decrease in the Other category revenue and gross profit from the prior year comparable period.  The Other category of revenue and gross profit consists primarily of shipping and handling fees and costs derived from our Direct business.  Sales to Wholesale customers had the largest decrease during the first quarter from the prior year first quarter, both in dollars and as a percentage, decreasing 28% or $265,360. Sales to wholesale customers is expected to increase during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 (the three months ended December 31, 2009) as a result of new accounts being added and as wholesale customers increase their inventory levels prior to the Christmas holiday. We attribute the overall decrease in sales to the current economic uncertainty and overall decreases in domestic consumer spending, as our products are typically a discretionary purchase.  Wholesale customers include Liberator products sold to distributors and retailers and private label items sold to other resellers. The Wholesale category also includes contract manufacturing services, which consists of specialty items that are manufactured in small quantities for certain customer, and which, to date, has not been a material part of our business.

Gross profit, derived from net sales less the cost of product sales, includes the cost of materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead and depreciation.  Gross margin as a percentage of sales increased slightly to 32% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from 31% in the comparable prior year period.  This is primarily the result of an increase in the proportion of higher margin Direct to consumer sales to total net sales during the quarter from the comparable prior year period. Direct to consumer sales accounted for 57% of total net sales, compared to 52% in the prior year first quarter. In addition, the gross profit margin on Direct to consumer sales increased to 43% during the three months ended September 30, 2009 from 41% in the comparable prior year period.  Gross profit on the Wholesale sales increased as a result of a price increase that was implemented during the third quarter of fiscal 2009.  The Gross profit on the Other category decreased from a positive $78,223 to a negative margin of $23,123 as a result of the “free” or reduced shipping and handling charge promotions that were offered during the first quarter of fiscal 2010.  In the current economic environment, we anticipate the need to continue to offer “free” or reduced shipping and handling to consumers as a promotional tool.

Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were 45% of net sales, or $924,186, compared to 42% of net sales, or $1,102,175, for the same period in the prior year.  This 16% decrease in operating expenses was the result of lower expenses in all categories including advertising and promotion costs, other selling and marketing costs, general and administrative costs and depreciation expense.

Advertising and promotion expenses decreased by 32% (or $82,648) from $260,780 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 to $178,132 in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.  Advertising and promotion expenses were reduced during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 as part of an on going program to improve the targeting, timing and effectiveness of advertising spending.  Other Selling and Marketing costs decreased 18% (or $53,503) from the first quarter of fiscal 2009 to the current quarter of fiscal 2010, primarily as a result of lower professional fees and graphic services cost which was partially offset by higher trade show and travel costs.

General and administrative costs decreased by 5% (or $24,657) from $460,404 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009 to $435,747 in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. This was primarily the result of lower utility costs and lower product development payroll related costs during the current year first quarter.

Other income (expense) during the first quarter increased from expense of ($61,765) in fiscal 2009 to expense of ($248,747) in fiscal 2010.  Interest (expense) and financing costs in the current quarter included $5,358 from the amortization of the debt discount on the convertible note. Expenses related to the issuance of the convertible note payable to acquire majority control of WES Consulting, Inc. during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 totaled $192,167.  This item consists of the discounted face value of the $250,000 convertible note payable to Hope Capital, which is net of the value of the embedded derivative.

No expense or benefit from income taxes was recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2009 or 2008.  We do not expect any U.S. federal or state income taxes to be recorded for the current fiscal year because of available net operating loss carry-forwards.

We had a net loss of $514,756, or ($0.01) per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with a net loss of $347,106, or ($0.01) per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2008.
 
Variability of Results
 
We have experienced significant quarterly fluctuations in operating results and anticipates that these fluctuations may continue in future periods. As described in previous paragraphs, operating results have fluctuated as a result of changes in sales levels to consumers and wholesalers, competition, costs associated with new product introductions and increases in raw material costs. In addition, future operating results may fluctuate as a result of factors beyond the Company’s control such as foreign exchange fluctuation, changes in government regulations, and economic changes in the regions in which we operate and sell.  A portion of our operating expenses are relatively fixed and the timing of increases in expense levels is based in large part on forecasts of future sales. Therefore, if net sales are below expectations in any given period, the adverse impact on results of operations may be magnified by our inability to meaningfully adjust spending in certain areas, or the inability to adjust spending quickly enough, as in personnel and administrative costs, to compensate for a sales shortfall. We may also choose to reduce prices or increase spending in response to market conditions, and these decisions may have a material adverse effect on financial condition and results of operations.

Financial Condition
 
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $1,586,278 to $229,355 at September 30, 2009 from $1,815,633 at June 30, 2009. This decrease in cash resulted from cash used in operating activities of $1,157,996, cash used in investing  activities of $97,688, and by cash used in financing activities of $330,594, as more fully described below.

Cash used in operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2009 represents the results of operations adjusted for non-cash depreciation ($58,749) and the non-cash deferred rent accrual reversal $4,854, and the non-cash expense related to the issuance of the convertible note payable of $192,167. Changes in operating assets and liabilities include an increase in accounts receivable of $84,873, and increase in inventory of $74,141 and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $50,886.  Additional cash was used to reduce accounts payable by $581,633 during the three months ended September 30, 2009, and reduce accrued compensation and accrued expenses and interest by $33,492 and $69,631, respectively.

Cash flows used in investing activities reflects capital expenditures during the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The largest component of capital expenditures during the three months ended September 30, 2009, was our project to upgrade its e-commerce platform and ERP system. Expenditures on the e-commerce platform and ERP system, as of September 30, 2009, total approximately $344,000 and the systems were operational and in use as of September 1, 2009.

Cash flows used in financing activities are attributable to the repayment of the revolving line of credit of $171,433, repayment of the credit card cash advance of $96,326, and principal payments on notes payable and capital leases totaling $36,917.
 
As of September 30, 2009, our net accounts receivable increased by $84,873, or 24%, to $431,303 from $346,430 at June 30, 2009. The increase in accounts receivable is primarily the result of increased sales to certain wholesale accounts near the end of September 2009. Management believes that our accounts receivable are collectible net of the allowance for doubtful accounts of $15,178 at September 30, 2009.
 
Our net inventory increased by $74,141, or 11%, to $774,544 as of September 30, 2009 compared to $700,403 as of June 30, 2009. The increase reflects an increase in finished goods inventory in anticipation of increased product sales during the three months ended December 31, 2009.
 
Accounts payable decreased by $581,633, or 26%, to $1,666,212 as of September 30, 2009 compared to $2,247,845 as of June 30, 2009. The decrease in accounts payable was the result of our improved working capital position that resulted from the net proceeds of the private placement of Liberator, Inc.’s common stock that closed on June 26, 2009. 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At September 30, 2009, our working capital deficiency was $536,826, a decrease of $430,702 compared to the deficiency of $106,124 at June 30, 2009.  Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2009 totaled $229,355, a decrease of $1,586,278 from $1,815,633 at June 30, 2009.

On November 10, 2009, the Company entered into a loan agreement for a revolving line of credit with a commercial finance company that provides credit to 80% of domestic accounts receivable aged less than 90 days up to $250,000. Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at Prime rate plus six percent (9.25 percent as of November 10, 2009) plus a 2% annual facility fee and a .25% monthly collateral monitoring fee, as defined in the agreement.

Management believes anticipated cash flows generated from operations during the second and third quarter of fiscal 2010, along with current cash and cash equivalents as well as borrowing capacity under the line of credit should be sufficient to finance working capital requirements required by operations during the next twelve months. However, if product sales are less than anticipated during the three months ended December 31, 2009 and the three months ended March 31, 2010, we will need to raise additional funding in the near term to meet its working capital requirements. If we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our existing stockholders’ ownership will be diluted.  We cannot provide assurance that additional financing will be available in the near term when needed, particularly in light of the current economic environment and adverse conditions in the financial markets, or that, if available, financing will be obtained on terms favorable to the Company or to our stockholders.  If we require additional financing in the near-term and are unable to obtain it, this will adversely affect our ability to operate as a going concern and may require the Company to substantial scale back operations or cease operations altogether.
 
Sufficiency of Liquidity
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. We incurred a net loss of $514,756 and $347,106 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and, as of September 30, 2009, we have an accumulated deficit of $530,722 and a working capital deficit of $536,826.
 
In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon our ability to meet our financing requirements, and the success of our future operations. Management believes that actions presently being taken to revise our operating and financial requirements provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

These actions include initiatives to increase gross profit margins through improved production controls and reporting. To that end, we recently implemented a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software system. We also plan to reduce discretionary expense levels to be better in line with current revenue levels. Furthermore, our plan of operation in the next twelve months continues a strategy for growth within our existing lines of business with an on-going focus on growing domestic sales. We estimate that the operational and strategic development plans we have identified will require approximately $2,300,000 of funding. We expect to invest approximately $500,000 for additional inventory of sexual wellness products and $1,800,000 on sales and marketing programs, primarily sexual wellness advertising in magazines and on cable television. We will also be exploring the opportunity to acquire other compatible businesses.

We plan to finance the required $2,300,000 with a combination of cash flow from operations as well as cash on hand and cash raised through equity and debt financings.
 
Capital Resources
 
We do not currently have any material commitments for capital expenditures. We expect total capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal 2010 to be under $150,000 and to be funded by capital leases and, to a lesser extent, anticipated operating cash flows and borrowings under the revolving line of credit. This includes capital expenditures in support of our normal operations, and expenditures that we may incur in conjunction with initiatives to further upgrade our e-commerce platform and enterprise resource planning system (ERP system.)
 
If our business plans and cost estimates are inaccurate and our operations require additional cash or if we deviate from our current plans, we could be required to seek additional debt financing for particular projects or for ongoing operational needs.  This indebtedness could harm our business if we are unable to obtain additional financing on reasonable terms.  In addition, any indebtedness we incur in the future could subject us to restrictive covenants limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to changes in, our business.  If we do not comply with such covenants, our lenders could accelerate repayment of our debt or restrict our access to further borrowings, which in turn could restrict our operating flexibility and endanger our ability to continue operations.
