PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” relating to Infusion Brands International, Inc. (referred to as the “Company” or “we”, “us” or “our” in this Form 10-Q), which represent the Company’s current expectations or beliefs including, but not limited to, statements concerning the Company’s operations, performance, financial condition and growth. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may”, “anticipation”, “intend”, “could”, “estimate”, or “continue” or the negative or other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, such as credit losses, dependence on management and key personnel, variability of quarterly results, and the ability of the Company to continue our growth strategy and competition, certain of which are beyond the Company’s control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes and results could differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.

 

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all of such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Infusion Brands International, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1 – Basis of presentation:

 

Infusion Brands International, Inc. is a Nevada Corporation. We are a global consumer products company, specializing in developing innovative solutions and marketing profitable brands through our international direct-to-consumer channels of distribution.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. However, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information includes all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented. The operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2012. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Note 2 – Going concern and management’s plans:

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles contemplates that operations will be sustained for a reasonable period. However, we have incurred and continue to incur net losses and operating cash flow deficiencies and our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $2,375,868 as of June 30, 2012. Further, as more fully discussed in Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements, we have material cash redemption requirements associated with our Series G Preferred Stock that will arise on December 31, 2013. Since our inception, we have been substantially dependent upon funds raised through the sale of preferred stock, common stock and warrants to sustain our operating and investing activities. These are conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period.

 

Our management began implementing strategic plans designed and developed during the fourth quarter of 2010 with the intention of alleviating ongoing operating losses. The principal focus of these plans was an intensified emphasis on the redesign of the consumer products business, shifting our focus from the highly expensive product based distribution model to a global brand development and brand ownership model. Management believes that the planned model will provide more predictable revenue streams as well as current and long-term profitability by curtailing the cost structure, allowing for longer product life, and providing for next-version, next-generation and follow-on opportunities to those branded products. However, substantial investment is required to support this change. The Company received $6,500,000 of funding from the sale of preferred stock and warrants during the year ended December 31, 2011 and, during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2012, received $250,000 in advances from an investor on an impending financing arrangement. Notwithstanding this additional funding, our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period is dependent upon achieving our management’s plans for the Company’s reorganization and, ultimately, generating profitable operations from those restructured operations. We cannot give any assurances regarding the success of management’s plans. Our consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 3 – Acquisition:

 

On May 9, 2011, we purchased 50% of the outstanding common stock of Home Shopping Express S.A. (“HSE”) for cash consideration of $75,154, and an option to purchase the remaining 50% of the outstanding common stock of HSE based upon its forward revenue levels. HSE, which is located in Baleares, Spain, is engaged in the development and retail sale of consumer products throughout most of Europe, in particular, HSE's flagship product the DualSaw™ by Startwin. Through this acquisition, we became the principle owners of the intellectual property related to DualSaw™ in geographic regions whereby Startwin already took ownership of this trademark right. By combining our enterprises, this acquisition has helped to unify the worldwide brand for DualSaw™. Moreover, with a global presence we believe this acquisition will enable us to expand our international sales territories.

 

Our rights associated with our purchase contractually provide for management and governance control over all operational and financial aspects of HSE. Upon our purchase, all pre-acquisition HSE board members resigned and our Chief Executive Officer was appointed as the sole board member. We also have rights to all earnings of HSE. As a result of the rights associated with our initial investment in HSE and following the guidance in ASC 810 Consolidation, we have concluded that HSE is a variable interest entity on the basis that our 50% interest in the HSE common stock affords us symmetrically higher voting rights than would typically accompany a 50% ownership interest in common stock; in this instance our voting rights effectively rise to 100%.

 

Further, we have concluded that the Company is the primary beneficiary to the variable interest entity pursuant to ASC 810, because we have the controlling financial interest. That is, we possess the power to direct the activities of HSE and we have the right to receive all of its residual returns.

 

Accordingly, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of HSE have been consolidated commencing with May 1, 2011, which date was used for convenience after our conclusion that there were no material intervening transactions between May 1, 2011 and May 9, 2011.

Media Funding Arrangement:

 

On March 2, 2011, we entered into a media funding arrangement with a financial institution that provides for the financing of certain of our defined media and marketing material expenditures. The borrowing facility does not have a stated maximum, although borrowings are limited to certain defined account receivable levels. The facility has an initial term of one year with consecutive one year renewal terms unless terminated by either party. It provides for fees to the lender equal to 2.5% of the qualified amounts paid plus deferred payment arrangements that provide for interest at an approximate rate of 8.7% per annum. The lender has a first creditor’s secured priority interest in certain accounts receivable and inventories that are specific to the direct-response marketing campaign they finance. There were no amounts outstanding as of June 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011 under this arrangement.

Accounts Receivable Financing Arrangement:

 

On January 28, 2011, we entered into an accounts receivable sales and financing arrangement that provides for the assignment and sale of certain qualified accounts receivable to a financial institution. The facility has an initial term of one year and provides for cash advances in amounts of 75% of qualified accounts receivable balances assigned up to an amount of $1,000,000. The initial term may be extended in one year periods upon the mutual agreement of the Company and the lender. The lender receives an initial discount of 1.75% of the net realizable value of the qualified receivable for purchased receivables outstanding from 1-30 days. Subsequently, the lender receives an additional 1.0% discount for each 15 day period that the qualified receivable has not been collected. Further, the lender has a secured priority interest in the accounts receivable that they finance. This arrangement does not qualify for sales accounting under current accounting standards and is, therefore, subject to accounting as a financing arrangement wherein we will carry the assigned receivables in our accounts until they are settled and advances that we receive from the lender will be reflected as liabilities. The discounts will be classified as interest expense. There was $74,900 and $1,025,330 outstanding under this arrangement as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Note 6 – Redeemable preferred stock:

 

Redeemable preferred stock consists of the following:

 

		June 30,				December 31,
		2012				2011
Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, 11,500,000 shares  issued and outstanding  as of June 30, 2012 and  December 31, 2011; liquidation value $11,500,000 on each date.		$	30,856,232			$	20,471,818

 

Redeemable preferred stock represents preferred stock that is either redeemable for cash on a specific date or contingently redeemable for cash for events that are not within the control of management. Preferred stock where redemption for cash is certain to occur is classified in liabilities. We currently have no preferred stock classified in liabilities. Redeemable preferred stock is required to be classified outside of stockholders’ equity (in the mezzanine section).

 

On June 30, 2010, we sold 5,000,000 shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock to a certain accredited investor for proceeds of $5,000,000. The financing included the issuance of warrants to the investor to purchase 50,000,000 shares of our common stock for $0.10 per share. Pursuant to the financing arrangement, we extended a secured priority interest in substantially all of our assets to the investor. Subsequently, pursuant to inter-creditor agreements, the investor subordinated its interest in the assets that secure the media funding finance agreement that is described in Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements and the accounts receivable financing agreement that is described in Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. On March 16, 2011 and April 6, 2011, we entered into oral agreements with the investor to sell to the investor, subject to the filing of an amendment to the Certificate of Designation of our Series G Convertible Stock, 1,000,000 and 2,000,000 shares of such Preferred Stock, respectively, and Series G Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 10,000,000 and 20,000,000 shares of the common stock, respectively. The purchase prices of $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 were received from the investor in the form of advances on March 16, 2011 and April 6, 2011, respectively. The Series G Convertible Preferred Stock purchase agreements and other related transaction documents were executed on July 8, 2011. On September 1, 2011, September 22, 2011 and October 20, 2011, we entered into oral agreements with the investor to sell the investor, subject to the filing of an amendment to the Certificate of Designation of our Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, 1,000,000, 1,500,000 and 1,000,000 shares of such Preferred Stock, respectively, and Series G Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 10,000,000, 15,000,000 and 10,000,000 shares of the common stock, respectively. The purchase prices of $1,000,000, $1,500,000 and $1,000,000, respectively were received from the investor in the form of advances on September 1, 2011, September 22, 2011 and October 20, 2011, respectively. The Series G Convertible Preferred Stock purchase agreements and other related transaction documents were executed on December 14, 2011.

Note 6 – Redeemable preferred stock (continued):

 

Terms, Features and Conditions of our Series G Redeemable Preferred Stock are as follows:

 

Series		Date of Designation		Number of Shares				Par Value				Stated Value				Liquidation Value				Dividend Rate				Initial Conversion				Current Conversion
G		6/30/2010			8,000,000			$	0.00001			$	1.00			$	1.00				8.0	%		$	0.10			$	0.10

 

The conversion price is subject to adjustment solely for traditional capital restructurings, such as splits, stock dividends and reorganizations (traditional restructuring events). The Series G Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation also provides for voting rights equal to the “as if converted” number of common shares. Dividends are cumulative and payable quarterly whether or not declared by our Board of Directors. Accordingly, we accrue dividends payable as they are earned by the investors.

 

The outstanding 11,500,000 shares of Series G Preferred Stock are mandatorily redeemable for cash of $70,099,651, which is payable on June 30, 2013 as follows:

 

·

The stated value of $11,500,000 is payable on June 30, 2013.

·

An additional dividend equal to $1.00 per share of Series G Preferred Stock was payable on June 30, 2011 if the special preferred distribution discussed in the next bullet point has not been paid before that date (aggregate redemption value $11,500,000). The investor waived payment of this additional dividend on the payment date, but it will continue to accrue dividends as provided in the Certificate of Designation at a rate of 8.0%. That is, the original face value of the Series G Preferred Stock accrues dividends at 8% from the issuance date and the unpaid additional dividend amount accrues dividends at 8% from June 30, 2011.

·

A special preferred distribution equal to $4.096 per share of Series G Preferred Stock is payable on June 30, 2013 or earlier at our option (aggregate redemption value of $47,099,651). This special preferred distribution could have been reduced by the amount of the additional dividend discussed in the preceding bullet point if the additional dividend was paid on the June 30, 2011.

 

As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, cumulative dividends of $2,496,972 and $1,576,972, respectively, were outstanding and included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. No dividends have been paid. The unpaid dividends are included in caption accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheet.

 

The mandatory redemption feature embodied in the Series G Preferred Stock is probable of payment. Accordingly, we are required to accrete the carrying value of the Series G Preferred Stock to its redemption value by charges to paid-in capital using the effective interest method. The following summarizes the annual accretion for each year ending December 31:

 

		Accretion Table
Carrying value on June 30, 2012		$	30,856,232
Future accretion (charges to stockholders’ equity):
Six months ending December 31, 2012			15,651,951
Year ending December 31, 2013			23,591,468
Redemption value		$	70,099,651

Note 6 – Redeemable preferred stock (continued):

 

Series G Preferred

 

The Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, under its original terms and conditions, embodied a conversion option which (i) meets the definition of a derivative and (ii) is not considered clearly and closely related to the host preferred stock based upon economic risks. Establishing a clear and close relationship between the host preferred contract and the embedded feature is necessary to avoid bifurcation, liability classification and fair value measurement of the embedded feature. In order to establish a clear and close relationship, we were first required to establish the nature of the host preferred instrument as either an akin to equity or an akin to debt type instrument. Because the Series G Preferred Stock is both redeemable for cash on a specific future date and embodies a periodic return (i.e. cumulative dividend) that was consistent with returns for debt we concluded that the Series G Preferred Stock bore risks more closely associated with debt-type financial instruments. The risks of the equity linked conversion option, not being clearly and closely related to the risks of the debt-type preferred host contract, required us to bifurcate the embedded conversion feature at its fair value and classify such amount in liabilities because there were no exemptions available based on the terms.

 

The Series G Warrants were evaluated for classification in either liabilities or equity. Generally, a freestanding warrant agreement must both (i) be indexed to the Company’s own stock and (ii) meet certain explicit criteria in order to be classified in stockholders’ equity. Because the Series G Warrants embodied anti-dilution features that would adjust the exercise price in the event of a sale of securities below the $0.10 exercise price, the Series G Warrants do not meet the indexed test; and, therefore, the explicit criteria does not require evaluation. As a result, the Series G Warrants require liability classification at their fair value both on the inception date of the financing arrangement and subsequently.

 

On December 17, 2010, we amended the Certificate of Designation and the warrants to exclude adjustment to the conversion and exercise prices in the event that we sell common shares or share linked contracts for per share amounts that are less. By eliminating this feature, the Series G Preferred Stock became a conventional convertible financial instrument which is exempt from bifurcation of its embedded conversion option. Similarly, the elimination of this feature in the warrants resulted in them becoming indexed to our own stock and, therefore, exempt for derivative classification.

 

The following table summarizes the allocation of the proceeds from the Series G Preferred Stock and Warrant Financing Arrangements:

 

Classification		June 30, 2010				July 8, 2011				December 14, 2011				Total
Redeemable preferred stock		$	2,870,000			$	2,948,129			$	3,366,946			$	9,185,076
Warrants			1,330,000				51,871				133,054				1,514,924
Embedded derivatives			800,000				—				—				800,000
		$	5,000,000			$	3,000,000			$	3,500,000			$	11,500,000

 

Our allocation methodology related to the June 30, 2011 financing provided that the proceeds were allocated first to the Series G Warrants at their fair value, second to the Embedded Conversion Feature at its fair value and, lastly, the residual to the Series G Preferred. Subsequent allocations wherein no derivative classification resulted were allocated based upon the relative fair values of the Series G Preferred and the Series G Warrants. We are accreting the Series G Preferred to its redemption value with charges to stockholders’ equity over the term to its mandatory redemption date using the effective interest method.

Change in authorized shares:

 

On February 23, 2012, we increased the number of our authorized common shares to 800,000,000.

 

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock:

 

On March 31, 2011, the Certificate of Designation governing the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock was amended to remove a provision that, while improbable of occurrence, could result in redemption in cash. Upon removal of that provision, the carrying value was reclassified to stockholders’ equity. Terms, Features and Conditions of our Series C Preferred Stock are as follows:

 

Series		Date of Designation		Shares Outstanding				Par Value				Stated Value				Liquidation Value				Dividend Rate				Initial Conversion				Current Conversion
C		10/18/2007			1,024,210			$	0.00001			$	1.00			$	1.00				—			$	0.75			$	0.25

 

The conversion price is subject to adjustment for anti-dilution protection for (i) traditional capital restructurings, such as splits, stock dividends and reorganizations (traditional restructuring events), and (ii) sales or issuances of common shares or contracts to which common shares are indexed at less than the stated conversion prices (down-round protections). As it relates to adjustments to conversion prices arising from down-round financing triggering events, we account for the incremental value to convertible preferred stock classified as liabilities by charging earnings. For convertible preferred stock classified in stockholders’ equity or redeemable preferred stock (mezzanine classification) we charge the incremental value to paid-in capital or accumulated deficit, if paid-in capital is exhausted, as a deemed dividend.

 

The Series C Preferred has voting rights equal to the as if converted number of common shares and is redeemable for cash in an amount representing the stated value only in the event of a redemption triggering event as discussed below:

 

·

The Company shall fail to have available a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to issue to such Holder upon a conversion hereunder;

·

Unless specifically addressed elsewhere in the Certificate of Designation as a Triggering Event, the Company shall fail to observe or perform any other covenant, agreement or warranty contained in the Certificate of Designation, and such failure or breach shall not, if subject to the possibility of a cure by the Company, have been cured within 20 calendar days after the date on which written notice of such failure or breach shall have been delivered;

·

There shall have occurred a Bankruptcy Event or Material Monetary Judgment;

 

If the Company fails to pay the Series C Preferred Triggering Redemption amount on the date it is due, interest will accrue at a rate equal to the lesser of 18% per year, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, accruing daily from the date of the Triggering event until the amount is paid in full.

Series E Convertible Preferred Stock:

 

On December 3, 2008, we designated 13,001,000 shares of our newly designated $0.00001 par value, $1.00 stated value, Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred Stock”) of which 2,526,776 were issued on August 27, 2009 in connection with a business acquisition. The Series E Preferred Stock votes with the common shareholders on a one vote per share basis. The Series E Preferred Stock does not provide for either a liquidation preference or a dividend right. The Series E Preferred Stock was initially convertible into common stock at conversion price of $0.84 per share. The Series E Preferred Stock provides for down-round price protection with a floor of $0.50 per share. Due to financings below that floor, the current conversion price is $0.50. The Series E Preferred Stock conversion price is otherwise subject to adjustment for traditional reorganizations, such as stock splits, stock dividends and similar restructuring of equity.

 

As of June 30, 2012, the remaining shares of Series E Preferred are convertible into 5,053,552 shares of common stock.

Note 7 – Equity (deficit) (continued):

 

Grant date fair values of stock options are calculated using the Binomial Lattice Valuation Technique.

 

On June 30, 2010, the Company entered into consulting agreements with two then Board Members providing for cash compensation of $125,000 to each and stock options linked to an aggregate 12,097,468 shares of common stock. On January 12, 2012, the consulting agreements were terminated and the stock options were cancelled.

 

On April 1, 2012, the Company issued stock options to certain employees and consultants to purchase an aggregate of 67,840,030 shares of common stock for $0.01 per share, which expire on April 1, 2017. The options contain performance conditions that are particular to each employee and determine when the options vest. Since the options are performance base contingent and do not have a measurement date the compensation calculation is deferred until the performance conditions are ultimately achieved, if ever.

 

Common stock issued under a consulting agreement:

 

On February 8, 2011, we issued 20,162,448 shares of common stock to a consultant as partial consideration under a consulting agreement. The common shares that we issued vested monthly during the year ended December 31, 2011, as the services were rendered. We expensed the costs associated with these shares and related services monthly, based upon the trading market price of our shares at the vesting dates, which is the measurement date for the share-based payment. We recorded $74,369 and $203,891 of consulting expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.

 

In addition to the shares above, we also agreed to issue common shares to the consultant equaling 5.0% of our outstanding common stock after we redeem our Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, which is more fully discussed in Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. Current accounting standards provide that when the quantity of shares issuable in a share-based arrangement are dependent upon the achievement of a condition, the lowest possible value of all possible outcomes should be used to value the shares. The lowest possible value under this condition is zero provided for under a scenario where we are unable to pay the redemption on our Series G Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

As it relates to the aforementioned commitment to issue common stock to the consultant subsequent to the completion of our current quarterly period, on August 1, 2012 we granted stock options under our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan to the consultant linked to 9,072,980 shares of our common stock in lieu of the obligation to issue common shares discussed above upon the redemption of our Series G Convertible Preferred Stock. Accordingly, we are no longer obligated to issue the common shares referred to in the preceding paragraph. The stock options are exerciseable for $0.01 per common share, subject to certain restrictions and performance measurements, and expire on August 1, 2022. The stock options are exercisable after both (i) the Company has sustained profitability, which is contractually defined as two consecutive quarters of operating income, and (ii) the Company has fulfilled its redemption obligation under the Series G Convertible Preferred Stock discussed in Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. The stock options will ultimately require fair value measurement and recognition in our income. However, the terms of the stock options and the associated restrictions did not give rise to a measurement date on the grant date for purposes of measuring compensation. The fair value of the stock options will be computed based upon the facts and circumstances, including the valuation inputs, present on the future measurement date.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 9 – Commitments and contingencies:

 

Litigation, claims and assessments:

 

We are involved in the following matters:

 

Mediaxposure Limited (Cayman) v. Kevin Harrington, Timothy Harrington, Infusion Brands International, Inc. (f/k/a OminReliant Holdings, Inc.), Vicis Capital Master Fund and Vicis Capital LLC:

 

United States District Court, Middle District of Florida, Case No. 11-CV-410

 

On February 28, 2011, Mediaxposure Limited (Cayman) (“Mediaxposure”) as purported assignee of claims of ResponzeTV, Ltd (“RETV”) commenced an action in the United States District Court, Middle District of Florida against certain individuals alleging a single case of action for breach of fiduciary duty arising from an alleged misconduct of former board members. On October 7, 2011, Mediaxposure filed an amended complaint naming the Company and alleging that the Company breached a purported fiduciary duty to RETV. The amended complaint seeks unspecified money damages as against all defendants.

 

The Company moved to dismiss the complaint on December 6, 2011. On March 27, 2012, the Company’s motion was argued before the Court. On May 17, 2012, the complaint was dismissed.

 

As of June 30, 2012, the Company was subject to the various legal proceedings and claims discussed above, as well as certain other legal proceedings and claims that have not been fully resolved and that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the Company does not have a potential liability related to any current legal proceeding or claim that would individually or in the aggregate materially adversely affect its financial condition or operating results. However, the results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. Should the Company fail to prevail in these legal matters, the operating results of a particular reporting period could be materially adversely affected.

 

Other contingencies:

 

In connection with our business, we enter into other arrangements from time to time that are routine and customary for the operation of our business that include commitments, typically of a short duration. These arrangements include, among other things, infomercial development and production arrangements and royalty or contingent consideration to product manufacturers or infomercial hosts. As of June 30, 2012, we do not believe that our routine and customary business arrangements are material for reporting purposes.

 

Note 10 – Related party transactions:

 

Significant Ownership – Vicis Capital Master Fund, which has provided significant funding, is the beneficial owner of 74.1% of our fully-diluted equity.

 

Note 11 – Subsequent events:

 

We have evaluated subsequent events arising following the balance sheet date of June 30, 2012 through the date of August 20, 2012. Other than those matters described below, there have been no material subsequent events not provided elsewhere herein or in filings on Form 8-K.

 

 

Infusion Brands International, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 11 – Subsequent events (continued):

 

As more fully discussed in Note 7, above, on August 1, 2012 we granted stock options to a consultant under our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan linked to 9,072,980 shares of our common stock, in lieu of our future obligation to issue shares of our common stock to such consultant upon the occurrence of the redemption of our Series G Convertible Preferred Stock. The stock options will ultimately require fair value measurement and recognition in our income. However, the terms of the stock options and the associated restrictions did not give rise to a measurement date on the grant date for purposes of measuring compensation. The fair value of the stock options will be computed based upon the facts and circumstances, including the valuation inputs, present on the future measurement date.

 

On August 1, 2012, we executed a five year license agreement with Bhukhanvala/Indocean Tools giving the Company worldwide exclusive rights (excluding India) to market and distribute any twin cut, dual blade circular saw, leveraging the Bhukhanvala/Indocean tools patent(s), including the "Twin Cut Technology" trademarks. Moreover, Bhukhanvala/Indocean tools has agreed to terminate its agreements with its current customers and vendors within eight months of licensing date, including and not limited to with TTI Group (currently selling under the Ridgid Brand) as well as terminating Bosch's right to sell such blades as accessories. This license agreement will enhance our ability to grow our DualSaw brand as the leader in Twin Cut, Dual Blade technology.

 

On August 10, 2012, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Ronco Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ronco”), CD3 Holdings, Inc., the holder of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Ronco (“CD3”), Ronco Brands, Inc., a Nevada corporation and our newly formed wholly owned subsidiary (“Acquisition Sub”) and Vicis Capital Master Fund, our principal stockholder (“Vicis”). Ronco owns and operates a business of developing, manufacturing and distributing consumer products primarily in the small kitchen appliance and household accessories area and distributes products such as Showtime Rotisserie, Six Star Knives and the Food Dehydrator.

 

Upon the closing of the merger, Ronco will merge with and into Acquisition Sub, Acquisition Sub will cease to exist and Ronco will survive the merger and become a wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger”). Upon consummation and in consideration for the Merger, CD3 shall be entitled to receive such number of shares of Infusion’s common stock equal to 50% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Infusion on the Closing Date along with the right to receive, at any time after the Closing Date, one additional share of Infusion’s common stock for every share of common stock issued upon the conversion of any derivative security of Infusion outstanding at the Closing Date (the “Merger Shares”). We have not yet reached any conclusions related to our accounting for the Merger.

 

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing in this Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 filed on March 30, 2012 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Business: We are a consumer products company that leverages direct response programming with an array of consumer products that have the potential to disrupt their categories with significant competitive advantages, features and benefits. We accomplish this through our strategy of innovating or identifying potential profitable products and which have the potential of becoming a valuable brand.

 

Areas of Emphasis

 

Key priorities for the Company include profitable revenue growth, product innovation and brand line expansion, cash management and increasing our strategic relationships.

 

Revenue Growth

 

Profitable top line revenue growth is the highest priority for the Company.

 

The Company anticipates our revenue to be driven by the following key initiatives:

 

·

Leveraging existing domestic and international retail and distribution partners

·

Establishing new domestic and international retail and distribution partners

·

Launching new "DualSaw" product innovation in Q4/2012 via direct response programming to drive more retail and international distributor sales both domestically and internationally.

 

To accomplish the stated goals of establishing and leveraging new retail partners and international distributors, the Company has attended key International Trade Shows and Industry Conferences to date in 2012:

 

·

Koelnmesse International Hardware Show - Cologne, Germany

·

Las Vegas International Hardware Show - Las Vegas, Nevada

·

Electronic Retailers Association - Hong Kong

 

The Company is scheduled to attend the following International Trade Shows and Industry Conferences in the balance of 2012:

 

·

Electronic Retailers Association - Berlin

·

Electronic Retailers Association - Las Vegas

·

Shanghai Hardware Conference - China

·

Canton Fair - China

 

In part due to our attendance at these shows, as well as our acquisition of Home Shopping Express, SA in May 2011, the Company is beginning to experience significant relative growth in the international markets. Through meetings with buyers and key industry executives around the globe, the Company is positioning itself to enhance the DualSaw brand around the world. Such meetings have already translated to sales in new markets and distribution channels such as with our newest channel partners in the following territories:

 

 

·

Australia / New Zealand

·

Poland

·

Sweden

·

Mexico

 

Moreover, in the three months ended June 30, 2012 we have established the following new channel partner relationships:

 

·

The largest direct branding company in Japan; Oak Lawn Marketing. We anticipate beginning to test in Q3/2012 with a full rollout planned for Q4/2012

·

One of Europe's largest independent power tool distributors, Varo Power Tools and

·

One of Canada's largest power tool distributors, King Canada, will begin marketing the DualSaw brand (by King Canada) exclusively throughout the entire Canadian footprint.

 

All of the Company's distribution partners are provided the right to market and co-brand the DualSaw products in exchange for acquiring DualSaw products directly from the Company as supplier.

 

While these new relationships will not likely materially benefit the Company until 2013, the impact of these new distribution partner relationships is critical to the Company’s ability of growing stable and predictable revenue streams in future periods. Moreover, since these channel partners are already selling our counter rotating dual circular saw product line, we believe we will be able to reduce our execution risk since any new dual blade saw will be launched as a product line extension to an existing trusted brand (DualSaw), with a built in customer base. In addition, unlike the current DualSaw circular saw product line which has recently experienced significant price pressure both domestically and internationally, leading to a reduction in gross margins from prior periods, we believe our newest patent pending product innovation(s) will increase margins due to the fact that we will have a first to market lead with our newest patent pending innovations, leading to more profitable revenue as we roll out new products under the DualSaw brand.

 

In addition to its flagship brand, the Company continues to generate incremental revenue through its live television shopping division. The Company anticipates leveraging this sales channel to enhance its revenue and test market acceptance for new product opportunities through the launch of new products with key television celebrities.

 

While the growth prospects of Company-owned or exclusively licensed products appear promising, the cost of developing, marketing and distributing new brands and product lines is anticipated to be significant. While less expensive at the outset, growing brands organically will most always be inherently higher risk and take expansively more working capital to launch than an already well established brand. Therefore, the Company will continue to look for strategic brand acquisitions leveraging its common stock as currency which could add accretive revenue and earnings to the Company with much less execution risk.

 

Product Innovation and Brand Line Expansion

 

Innovation and sourcing of new products, as well as product line extensions of current brands has been and will continue to be critical to the Company’s overall revenue growth.

 

 

Evidence of our commitment to this is our recent efforts to innovate new product models for our DualSaw brand, beginning with our new dual blade/dual stroke reciprocating saw. With the help of our innovation partner and shareholder, Nottingham-Spirk and our factory partner in China, the Company has been hard at work designing, engineering and producing the next generation of dual blade technologies to be placed under the DualSaw brand. Such innovations have already lead to eight (8) new patents pending across the entire power saw category, with the first innovation currently still scheduled to launch in the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

Moreover, the Company has invented or sourced a number of newly patented and pending products in other categories such as home goods, pet products and beauty/skincare.

 

Cash Management

 

The Company is intent on wisely using the cash resources available to us. We utilize accounts receivable, purchase order financing (whenever possible) and media funding (whenever possible) to fuel our direct response programming campaigns. In addition, we have made some reduction of staffing changes in the second quarter of 2012 that continues to reflect our commitment to run as cost effectively as possible without hindering our ability to execute and scale the underlying business.

 

Strategic Relationships

 

As noted in our explanation of 'Revenue Growth', we continue to build strategic relationships with partners in areas of the world where we do not currently have a footprint.

Revenues and costs of revenues – We derive the majority of our revenues from the sale of corporate owned consumer products through direct to consumer, retail and live television shopping channels of distribution. We also collect rents from leasing a portion of the real estate we own in Clearwater, Florida. Our comparison of material components of revenues are as follows:

 

Product sales: The net decrease in product sales results largely from the decline in direct response programming. However, as stated above, our plan is to launch and introduce new products via direct response programming during the current fiscal year which we anticipate leading to revenue growth in 2013 both domestically and internationally. Our international subsidiary, Home Shopping Express, SA (HSE) contributed $1,501,135 of product sales during the three months ended June 30, 2012. However, since HSE was acquired effective May 1, 2011, there are no comparable product sales from the comparable period of the prior year.

 

Cost of product sales: The decrease in our cost of product sales is in part a result of our decrease in product sales. The decrease in our gross margin largely relates to our sale of excess inventory from our former Fashion Safari subsidiary at below cost. Our ongoing margins will likely be volatile as we launch new products via direct response programming, and until we establish more branded products in more retail and distributor outlets that will serve as our long-term base of offerings. HSE contributed $1,339,885 of consolidated cost of product sales during the three months ended June 30, 2012.

 

Rental income: The decrease in rental income was attributable to lower third-party occupancy as our operations expand and we take more of the space for our own corporate use.

 

Other operating expenses – Other operating expenses consist of employment costs, administrative expenses, accounting and professional expenses, advertising expense and depreciation and amortization. Our analysis of the material components of changes in other operating expenses are as follows:

 

Employment Costs: Employment related costs consist of salaries and payroll, employee insurance, and share-based payment. Non-cash, share-based payment included in our employment costs, decreased by $132,972 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $183,702 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 to $50,730 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Non-cash share-based payment expense declined due to a reduction in the number of employee stock options awarded with value attributed to them. HSE’s employment costs contributed $144,056 of the increase for the quarter.

 

Other general and administrative: These costs and expenses include royalties, bad debts, occupancy costs and general office expenses. The main driver of the increase in general and administrative costs was an increase of $284,312 attributable to the HSE operations during the three months ended June 30, 2012.

 

Accounting and professional expense: These costs include fees relating to legal, professional consulting and audit related expenses. These costs also include $74,369 of share-based payment expense during the three months ended June 30, 2011 for restricted stock issued to a consulting advisor with no similar charges during the three months ended June 30, 2012. Our accounting and professional expenses have otherwise substantially decreased due to bringing many of these categories of services in-house.

 

 

Advertising and promotion: The decrease in advertising and promotion costs is due to reduction in our direct response programming. When advertising through direct response programming, there is a direct correlation between our product sales revenue and our advertising expense. As such, as noted above, since we decreased our direct response programming spend, we had a corresponding decrease in total revenue from the prior comparable period; therefore we would expect a decrease in advertising expense. Because we have initiated retail channels as a new distribution method, advertising expenses as a percentage of sales decreased from 33.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 to just 6.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. As a consumer products company, advertising and promotion expenses will continue to be a material operating expense and will vary depending upon whether we launch a product via direct response programming.

 

Depreciation and amortization: The increase was a result of the contribution of HSE, which incurred $17,165 in depreciation expense during the three months ended June 30, 2012, combined with the retirement of some depreciable assets.

 

Interest expense – Interest expense includes amortization of deferred finance costs and interest on our mortgage loan and other notes payable. Interest expense increased due to higher average debt balances resulting from the HSE acquisition and balances associated with our purchase order, accounts receivable and media financing arrangements discussed below in Liquidity and Capital Resources.

 

Interest and other income –The decrease in interest and other income is largely attributable to the collection of a legal settlement in 2011.

 

Loss before non-controlling interests – The decrease in loss before non-controlling interests is due to the decrease in many of our operating expenses, as discussed above, not fully offsetting the decrease in our revenues.

 

Non-controlling interests – A non-controlling interest, formerly called a minority interest, is the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. Non-controlling interests arise from the consolidation of subsidiaries as a result of voting control or based upon benefits of an entity’s variable interests.

 

Net loss – The decrease in net loss is a result of the items discussed in the preceding discussion.

 

(Loss) income applicable to common stockholders – (Loss) income applicable to common stockholders represents our net (loss) income as adjusted for accrued dividends and accretions on our preferred stock. The increase in the loss applicable to common shareholders was due to significant accretion on our Series G Preferred Stock, which amounted to 5,722,924, plus related accrued dividends of $460,000.

 

Operations – Six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to six months ended June 30, 2011:

 

The following table presents a condensed overview of our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011:

Revenues and costs of revenues – We derive the majority of our revenues from the sale of corporate owned consumer products through direct to consumer, retail and live television shopping channels of distribution. We also collect rents from leasing a portion of the real estate we own in Clearwater, Florida. Our comparison of material components of revenues are as follows:

 

Product sales: The net decrease in product sales results largely from the decline in direct response programming. However, as stated above, our plan is to launch and introduce new products via direct response programming during the current fiscal year which we anticipate leading to revenue growth in 2013 both domestically and internationally. Our international subsidiary, Home-Shopping-Express, SA (HSE) contributed $2,386,530 of product sales during the six months ended June 30, 2012. However, since HSE was acquired effective May 1, 2011, there are no comparable product sales from the comparable period of the prior year.

 

Cost of product sales: The decrease in our cost of product sales is in part a result of our decrease in product sales. However, inventory adjustments due to write down to fair value of inventory of $130,117 in the three months ended June 30, 2012, partially offsets this decrease, The decrease in our gross margin largely relates to our sale of excess inventory from our former Fashion Safari subsidiary at below cost. Our ongoing margins will likely be volatile as we launch new products via direct response programming, and until we establish more products in more retail and distributor outlets that will serve as our long-term base of offerings.HSE contributed $2,021,214 of consolidated cost of product sales during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

 

Rental income: The decrease in rental income was attributable to lower third-party occupancy as our operations expand and we take more of the space for our own corporate use.

 

Other operating expenses – Other operating expenses consist of employment costs, administrative expenses, accounting and professional expenses, advertising expense and depreciation and amortization. Our analysis of the material components of changes in other operating expenses are as follows:

 

Employment Costs: Employment related costs consist of salaries and payroll, employee insurance, and share-based payment. Non-cash, share-based payment, included in our employment costs decreased by $85,913 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $190,045 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $104,132 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Non-cash share-based payment expense declined due to a reduction in the number of employee stock options awarded with value attributed to them. HSE’s employment costs contributed $363,222 of the increase in 2012.

 

 

Other general and administrative: These costs and expenses include royalties, bad debts, occupancy costs and general office expenses. The main driver of the increase in general and administrative costs was an increase of $240,879 attributable to the HSE operations during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

 

Accounting and professional expense: These costs include fees relating to legal, professional consulting and audit related expenses. These costs also include $203,891 of share-based payment expense during the six months ended June 30, 2011 for restricted stock issued to a consulting advisor with no similar charges during the six months ended June 30, 2012. Accordingly, our accounting and professional expenses have otherwise substantially decreased due to bringing many of these categories of services in-house.

 

Advertising and promotion: The decrease in advertising and promotion costs is due to reduction in our direct response programming. When advertising through direct response programming, there is a direct correlation between our product sales revenue and our advertising expense. As such, as noted above, since we decreased our direct response programming expenditures, we had a corresponding decrease in total revenue from the prior comparable period; therefore we would expect a decrease in advertising expense. Because we have initiated retail channels as a new distribution method, advertising expenses as a percentage of sales decreased from 41.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to 11.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. As a consumer products company, advertising and promotion expenses will continue to be a material operating expense and will vary depending upon whether we launch a product via direct response programming.

 

Depreciation and amortization: The increase was a result of the contribution of HSE, which incurred $34,523 in depreciation expense during the six months ended June 30, 2012, combined with the retirement of some depreciable assets.

 

Interest expense – Interest expense includes amortization of deferred finance costs and interest on our mortgage loan and other notes payable. Interest expense increased due to higher average debt balances resulting from the HSE acquisition and balances associated with our purchase order, accounts receivable financing arrangements discussed below in Liquidity and Capital Resources.

 

Interest and other income –The decrease in interest and other income is largely attributable to the collection of a legal settlement in 2011.

 

Loss before non-controlling interests – The decrease in loss before non-controlling interests is due to the decrease in many of our operating expenses, as discussed above, not fully offseting the decrease in our revenues.

 

Non-controlling interests – A non-controlling interest, formerly called a minority interest, is the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. Non-controlling interests arise from the consolidation of subsidiaries as a result of voting control or based upon benefits of an entity’s variable interests. Non-controlling interests is associated with the loss from HSE and $8,400 in credits is associated with the minority interests in our Studios real estate holding company.

 

Net loss – The decrease in net loss is a result of the items discussed in the preceding discussion.

 

(Loss) income applicable to common stockholders – (Loss) income applicable to common stockholders represents our net (loss) income as adjusted for accrued dividends and accretions on our preferred stock. The increase in the loss applicable to common shareholders was due to significant accretion on our Series G Preferred Stock, which amounted to 10,384,414, plus related accrued dividends of $920,000.

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles contemplates that operations will be sustained for a reasonable period. However, we have incurred losses of $3,292,315 and $3,215,824 during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In addition, we have material redemption requirements associated with our Series G Preferred Stock during the year ended December 31, 2013, which is more fully discussed in Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. Since our inception, we have been substantially dependent upon funds raised through the sale of preferred and common stock and warrants to sustain our operating and investing activities. These are conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period as discussed in Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statement Footnotes.

 

Our management began implementing strategic plans designed and developed during the fourth quarter of the 2010 with the intention of alleviating ongoing operating losses. The principal focus of these plans was an intensified emphasis on the redesign of the consumer products business, shifting our focus from the highly expensive product based distribution model to a global brand development and brand ownership model. Management believes that the planned model will provide more predictable revenue streams as well as current and long-term profitability by curtailing the cost structure, allowing for longer product life, and providing for next-version, next-generation and follow-on opportunities to those branded products. However, substantial investment is required to support this change. The Company received $6,500,000 of funding from the sale of preferred stock and warrants during the year ended December 31, 2011. Notwithstanding this additional funding, our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period is dependent upon achieving our management’s plans for the Company’s reorganization and, ultimately, generating profitable operations from those restructured operations. We cannot give any assurances regarding the success of management’s plans. Our consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $323,299 as of June 30, 2012 compared to $1,038,757 at June 30, 2011. We have a working capital deficiency of $2,375,868 as of June 30, 2012 and we had working capital of $ 1,231,687 at December 31, 2011. The following table presents a condensed overview of the changes in our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011:

Cash Flow from Operating Activities – The decrease in cash from operating activities is largely attributable to the increase in collections on accounts receivable which accounts for a $2,389,504 increase, the decrease in accounts payable and accruals of $365,867 and the increase in deferred revenue of $634,074. Also contributing to this increase is the reduction in share based payments of $289,804 and the one-time 2011 decrease in cash from operating activities relating to the purchase of HSE of $200,416. These increases are offset by the decrease in cash relating to operating activities that result from the net operating loss of $355,107.

 

Cash Flow from Investing Activities – The increase in cash from investing was due to a reduction in fixed assets of $53,895 and a one-time 2011 charge for net cash paid for the purchase of HSE of $57,298.

 

Cash Flow from Financing Activities – The decrease in cash from financing results from lower funding advances of $250,000 during 2012 compared to the 2011 advances on preferred stock financing of $3,000,000. Of the cash used during the six months ended June 30, 2012, $950,430 related to our accounts receivable factoring arrangement. Uses of cash from financing activities relate to the principal payments we made on our mortgage loan and other note balances.

 

Preferred Stock Redemption Requirements – We have 11,500,000 shares of Series G Preferred Stock outstanding that are mandatorily redeemable for cash of $70,099,651 on June 30, 2013 as stated in Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, dividends of $460,000 and $99,726, respectively were accrued and recorded as reductions in paid-in capital in the absence of accumulated earnings. However, no dividends have been paid. These unpaid dividends, which amount to $2,496,972 plus the aforementioned redemption amount, will be payable on June 30, 2013.

 

Other Financing Activities – On January 28, 2011, we entered into an accounts receivable sales and financing arrangement that provides for the assignment and sale of certain qualified accounts receivable to a financial institution as discussed in Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. There was $74,900 outstanding under this arrangement as of June 30, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011 when the balance was $1,025,330.

 

 

On March 2, 2011, we entered into a media funding arrangement with financial institution that provides for the financing of certain of our defined media and marketing material expenditures as discussed in Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. We carry media funding advances in the accounts payable and accrued liabilities classification in our balance sheet. As of June 30, 2012, no balances were outstanding under this facility.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to reserves, deferred tax assets and valuation allowance, impairment of long-lived assets, fair value of our financial instruments and equity instruments. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates, including those for the above-described items, are reasonable.

 

While all of our accounting policies impact the consolidated financial statements, certain policies are viewed to be critical. Critical accounting policies are those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most subjective or complex judgments and estimates. Management believes the policies that fall within this category are the policies on revenue recognition and accounts receivable and other intangible assets, investments, financial and derivative instruments.

 

Revenue recognition – Revenue is recognized when evidence of the arrangement exists, the product is shipped to a customer, or in the limited circumstances, at destination, when terms provide that title passes at destination, the fee for the service is fixed or determinable and when we have concluded that amounts are collectible from the customers. Estimated amounts for sales returns and allowances are recorded at the time of sale. Shipping costs billed to customers are included as a component of product sales. The associated cost of shipping is included as a component of cost of product sales.

 

Accounts receivable – Accounts receivable represents normal trade obligations from customers that are subject to normal trade collection terms, without discounts or rebates. Notwithstanding these collections, we periodically evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable and consider the need to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon our historical collection experience and specifically identifiable information about our customers.

 

Inventories – Inventories consist of retail merchandise that is in its finished form and ready for sale to end-user customers. Inventories are recorded at the lower of average cost or market. Normal in-bound freight-related costs from our vendors are included as part of the net cost of merchandise inventories. Other costs associated with acquiring, storing and transporting merchandise inventories are expensed as incurred and included in cost of goods sold. Our inventories are acquired and carried for retail sale and, accordingly, the carrying value is susceptible to, among other things, market trends and conditions and overall customer demand. We use our best estimates of all available information to establish reasonable inventory quantities. However, these conditions may cause our inventories to become obsolete and/or excessive. We review our inventories periodically for indications that reserves are necessary to reduce the carrying values to the lower of cost or market values.

 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued additional guidance for the presentation of comprehensive income. The new guidance changes the way other comprehensive income (“OCI”) appears within the financial statements. Companies will be required to show net income, OCI and total comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. Components of OCI may no longer be presented solely in the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. Any reclassification between OCI and net income will be presented on the face of the financial statements. The new guidance became effective for our Company beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of the new guidance did not impact the measurement of net income or other comprehensive income. Rather, the guidance required changes in the presentation of our comprehensive income, which is now reflected on our statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

In May 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. This accounting update generally aligns the principles for fair value measurements and the related disclosure requirements under U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. From a U.S. GAAP perspective, the amendments are largely clarifications, but some could have a significant effect on certain companies. A number of new disclosures also are required. Except for certain disclosures, the guidance applies to public and nonpublic companies and is to be applied prospectively. For public companies and nonpublic companies, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption by public companies was not permitted. The adoption of this new guidance did not have any significant impact on our financial statements.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness, as of June 30, 2012, of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2012 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On April 1, 2012, the Company issued stock options to certain employees and consultants to purchase an aggregate of 67,840,030 shares of common stock for $0.01 per share, which expire on April 1, 2017. The options contain performance conditions that are particular to each employee and determine when the options vest.

 

The securities referenced above were sold and/or issued only to “accredited investors,” as such term is defined in the Securities Act in a transaction that did not involve any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions, or any public offering, were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act") or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) and/or Regulation D (Rule 506) under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities laws.

Item 5. Other information

 

On August 1, 2012 we granted stock options to a consultant under our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan linked to 9,072,980 shares of our common stock, in lieu of our future obligation to issue shares of our common stock to such consultant upon the occurrence of the redemption of our Series G Convertible Preferred Stock. The stock options will ultimately require fair value measurement and recognition in our income. However, the terms of the stock options and the associated restrictions did not give rise to a measurement date on the grant date for purposes of measuring compensation. The fair value of the stock options will be computed based upon the facts and circumstances, including the valuation inputs, present on the future measurement date.

 

On August 1, 2012, we executed a five year license agreement with Bhukhanvala/Indocean Tools giving the Company worldwide exclusive rights (excluding India) to market and distribute any twin cut, dual blade circular saw, leveraging the Bhukhanvala/Indocean tools patent(s), including the "Twin Cut Technology" trademarks. Moreover, Bhukhanvala/Indocean tools has agreed to terminate its agreements with its current customers and vendors within eight months of licensing date, including and not limited to with TTI Group (currently selling under the Ridgid Brand) as well as terminating Bosch's right to sell such blades as accessories. This license agreement will enhance our ability to grow our DualSaw brand as the leader in Twin Cut, Dual Blade technology.

 

 

On August 10, 2012, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Ronco Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Ronco”), CD3 Holdings, Inc., the holder of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Ronco (“CD3”), Ronco Brands, Inc., a Nevada corporation and our newly formed wholly owned subsidiary (“Acquisition Sub”) and Vicis Capital Master Fund, our principal stockholder (“Vicis”). Ronco owns and operates a business of developing, manufacturing and distributing consumer products primarily in the small kitchen appliance and household accessories area and distributes products such as Showtime Rotisserie, Six Star Knives and the Food Dehydrator.

 

Upon the closing of the merger, Ronco will merge with and into Acquisition Sub, Acquisition Sub will cease to exist and Ronco will survive the merger and become a wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Merger”). Upon consummation and in consideration for the Merger, CD3 shall be entitled to receive such number of shares of Infusion’s common stock equal to 50% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Infusion on the Closing Date along with the right to receive, at any time after the Closing Date, one additional share of Infusion’s common stock for every share of common stock issued upon the conversion of any derivative security of Infusion outstanding at the Closing Date (the “Merger Shares”). We have not yet reached any conclusions related to our accounting for the Merger.
