MusclePharm Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(June 30, 2012)

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1 Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

 

Nature of Operations

 

MusclePharm Corporation (the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “MP”), was initially incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 4, 2006, under the name Tone in Twenty, for the purpose of engaging in the business of providing personal fitness training using isometric techniques.

 

The Company is headquartered in Denver, Colorado.

 

MusclePharm currently manufactures and markets wide-ranging variety of high-quality sports nutrition products.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended for interim financial information.

 

The financial information as of December 31, 2011 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis, for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

 

Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non-conforming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company operates in an industry that is subject to rapid change and intense competition. The Company's operations will be subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, regulatory and other risks, including the potential risk of business failure.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents.  At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable represents trade obligations from customers that are subject to normal trade collection terms. The accounts receivable are sent directly to the Company’s third party manufacturer and netted with any outstanding liabilities to the manufacturer. Liabilities to the manufacturer totaled $2,351,060 at June 30, 2012 and are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and considers the need to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical collection experience and specific customer information. Accordingly, the actual amounts could vary from the recorded allowances. There is also a review of customer discounts at the period end and an accrual made for discounts earned but not yet received by quarter end.

 

The Company does not charge interest on past due receivables. Receivables are determined to be past due based on the payment terms of the original invoices. Accounts receivable consisted of the following at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

 

   2012   2011 
Accounts receivable  $3,758,236   $2,766,776 
Less: allowance for discounts   (1,686,254)   -
Less: allowance for doubtful accounts    (14,573)    (197,684)
Accounts receivable – net  $2,057,409   $2,569,092 

 

At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had the following concentrations of accounts receivable with customers:

 

Customer  2012   2011 
A    31%   7%
B    25%   3%
C    16%   12%
D    6%   10%
E    2%   36%

Inventory

 

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market value. Product-related inventories are primarily maintained using the average cost method.

 

Prepaid Sponsorship Fees

 

Prepaid sponsorship fees represents fees paid in connection with future advertising to be received.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated to their estimated residual value over their estimated useful lives. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the assets and related accumulated depreciation are relieved from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are included in operating income in the statements of operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method for all property and equipment.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as service discontinuance or technological obsolescence, indicate that the carrying amount of the long-lived asset may not be recoverable. When such events occur, the Company compares the carrying amount of the asset to the undiscounted expected future cash flows related to the asset. If the comparison indicates that impairment is present, the amount of the impairment is calculated as the difference between the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset. If a readily determinable market price does not exist, fair value is estimated using discounted expected cash flows attributable to the asset. During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded no impairment expense.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.

 

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

 

·Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

·Level 2: Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

·Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

 

The following are the major categories of liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, using quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

 

   June 30,
2012
   December 31,
 2011
 
           
Derivative liabilities (Level 2)  $7,908,860   $7,061,238 

 

The Company's financial instruments consisted primarily of accounts receivable, prepaids, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, debt and customer deposits. The Company’s debt approximates fair value based upon current borrowing rates available to the Company for debt with similar maturities. The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments generally approximated their fair values as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company records revenue when all of the following have occurred: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) product has been shipped or delivered, (3) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. 

 

Depending on individual customer agreements, sales are recognized either upon shipment of products to customers or upon delivery. For all of our Canadian sales, which represents 2% of total sales, and for one of our largest domestic customers (See customer “B” below under concentrations), which represents 11% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, revenue is recognized upon delivery.

 

The Company has determined that advertising related credits that were granted to customers fell within the guidance of ASC No. 605-50-55 (“ Revenue Recognition” – Customer Payments and Incentives – Implementation Guidance and Illustrations) . The guidance indicates that, absent evidence of benefit to the vendor, appropriate treatment requires netting these types of payments against revenues and not expensing as advertising expense.

 

The Company records store support, giveaways, sales allowances and discounts as a direct reduction of sales.

 

Sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

 

   For The Three Months Ended June 30,   For The Six Months Ended June 30, 
   2012   2011   2012   2011 
Sales  $18,869,103   $3,838,374   $38,171,872   $7,509,589 
                     
Discounts   (3,439,763)   (440,632)   (6,181,852)   (1,077,911)
                     
Sales - Net  $15,429,340   $3,397,742   $31,990,020   $6,431,678 

 

 

The Company has an informal 7-day right of return for products. There were nominal returns for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company had the following concentrations of revenues with customers:

 

Customer  2012   2011 
A   35%   40%
B   11%   11%

 

Licensing Income and Royalty Revenue

 

On May 5, 2011, the Company granted an exclusive indefinite term license to a third party for $250,000. The licensee may market, manufacture, design and sell the Company’s existing apparel line. The licensee is to pay the Company a 10% net royalty based on its net income at the end of each fiscal year. To date, no royalty revenue has been earned.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales represents costs directly related to the production, manufacturing and freight of the Company’s products.

Beneficial Conversion Feature

 

For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a “beneficial conversion feature” (“BCF”) and related debt discount.

 

When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument. The discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company continues its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.

 

Once derivative liabilities are determined, they are adjusted to reflect fair value at the end of each reporting period. Any increase or decrease in the fair value is recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Once a derivative liability ceases to exist any remaining fair value is reclassified to additional paid in capital.

 

Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount

 

The Company may pay debt issue costs, and record debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of convertible debt. These costs are amortized over the life of the debt to interest expense. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

Original Issue Discount

 

For certain convertible debt issued, the Company provides the debt holder with an original issue discount.  The original issue discount is recorded to debt discount and additional paid-in capital at an amount not to exceed gross proceeds raised, reducing the face amount of the debt, and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

Share-Based Payments

 

Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Share-based compensation awards issued to non- employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable.

 

Earnings (loss) Per Share

 

Net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) less preferred dividends for the period by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) less preferred dividends for the period by the weighted average number of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period.

 

The Company uses an “if converted” method to determine whether there is a dilutive effect of outstanding option and warrant contracts. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, all of the Company’s convertible debt options and 531,274,066 warrants had exercise prices below of the Company’s period end market price of the common stock into which they convert. The adjusted dilutive net loss reflects the add back of approximately $349 of interest expense related to the convertible debt and the reduction of $9,449,050 of gains on derivative contracts for the three months ended June 30, 2012. For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company reflected an dilutive net loss and net loss, respectively, and the effect of considering any common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive for these periods. Therefore, separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented.

 

The Company’s dilutive net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2012 is as follows:

 

   2012 
Net income   6,181,904 
      
Dilutive effect of warrants   (7,981,756)
Dilutive effect of conversion options   (41,432)
Convertible debt interest add-back   349 
Adjusted net loss   (1,840,935)

 

The Company has the following common stock equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively:

 

   2012   2011 
Stock options (exercise price - $0.50/share)   1,567,500    2,767,500 
Warrants (exercise price $0.236 - $1.50/share)   150,708,232    59,843,333 
Convertible debt (exercise price $0.002- $0.02/share)   2,100,000    43,933,988 
Total common stock equivalents   154,375,732    106,544,821 

 

In the above table, some of the outstanding instruments from 2012 and 2011, contain ratchet provisions that would cause variability in the exercise price at the balance sheet date.  As a result, common stock equivalents could change at each reporting period.

 

Foreign Currency

 

MusclePharm began operations in Canada in April of 2012. The Canadian Dollar was determined to be the functional currency as the majority of the transactions related to the day to day operations of the business are exchanged in Canadian Dollars. At the end of the period, the financial results of the Canadian operation are translated into the United States Dollar, which is the reporting currency, and added to the US operations for consolidated company financial results. The revenue and expense items are translated using the average rate for the period and the assets and liabilities at the end of period rate. Transactions that have completed the accounting cycle and resulted in a gain or loss related to translation are recorded in realized gain or loss due to foreign currency translation under other income expense on the income statement. Transaction that have not completed their accounting cycle but appear to have gain or loss due to the translation process are recorded as unrealized gain or loss due to translation and held in the equity section on the balance sheet until such date the accounting cycle of the transaction is complete and the actual realized gain or loss is recognized. 

 

Reclassification

 

The Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2011 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS.  ASU 2011-04 requires reporting entities to disclose additional information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, ASU 2011-04 requires reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.

Note 3 Going Concern

 

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $9,853,389 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and a working capital deficit and stockholders’ deficit of $12,668,017 and $11,013,113 respectively, at June 30, 2012. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on Management's plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.  The Company may need to incur liabilities with certain related parties to sustain the Company’s existence.

 

The Company will require additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives.  The Company believes its current available cash along with anticipated revenues may be insufficient to meet its cash needs for the near future.  There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

  

In response to these problems, management has taken the following actions:

 

·seek additional third party debt and/or equity financing,
·continue with the implementation of the business plan,
·allocate sufficient resources to continue with advertising and marketing efforts

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The debt holders are entitled, at their option, to convert all or part of the principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion prices and terms discussed above.  The Company classifies embedded conversion features in these notes as a derivative liability due to management’s assessment that the Company may not have sufficient authorized number of shares of common stock required to net-share settle or due to the existence of a ratchet due to an anti-dilution provision. See Note 6 regarding accounting for derivative liabilities.

Note 6 Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company identified conversion features embedded within convertible debt, warrants and series A, preferred stock issued in 2012, 2011 and 2010 (see Notes 5 and 7). The Company has determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option should be accounted for at fair value as a derivative liability as the Company could not determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all transactions.

 

The fair value of the conversion feature is summarized as follow:

 

Derivative liability - December 31, 2011  $7,061,238 
Fair value at the commitment date for debt instruments   1,096,808 
Fair value at the commitment date for warrants issued   5,372,075 
Fair value mark to market adjustment for debt instruments   (1,564,850)
Fair value mark to market adjustment for warrants   68,035 
Fair value mark to market adjustment for Series A, Preferred Stock issued   (59)
Reclassification to additional paid-in capital for financial instruments conversions and maturities   (4,124,387)
Derivative liability – June 30, 2012  $7,908,860 

 

The Company recorded the debt discount to the extent of the gross proceeds raised, and expensed immediately the remaining value of the derivative as it exceeded the gross proceeds of the note.  The Company recorded a derivative expense of $2,486,451 and $4,057,859 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

The fair value at the commitment and re-measurement dates for the Company’s derivative liabilities were based upon the following management assumptions:

 

   Commitment Date   Re-measurement Date 
Expected dividends   0%   0%
Expected volatility   228% -251%    257%
Expected term:   6 months – 4 years    6 months – 4 years 
Risk free interest rate   0.09% - 0.72 %    0.33%

Note 7 Stockholders’ deficit

 

The Company has three separate series of authorized preferred stock:

 

(A) Series A, Convertible Preferred Stock

 

This class of stock has the following provisions:

 

·Non-voting,
·No rights to dividends,
·No liquidation value,
·Convertible into 200 shares of common stock

 

(B) Series B, Preferred Stock (Related Parties)

 

In August 2011, the Company issued an aggregate 51 shares of Series B, preferred stock to 2 of its officers and directors. The Company accounted for the share issuance at par value as there was no future economic value that could be associated with the issuance.

 

This class of stock has the following provisions:

 

·Voting rights entitling the holders to an aggregate 51% voting control,
·Initially no rights to dividends,
·Stated value of $0.001 per share,
·Liquidation rights entitle the receipt of net assets on a pro-rata basis; and
·Non-convertible

 

(C) Series C, Convertible Preferred Stock

 

In October 2011, the Company issued 190 shares of Series C, preferred stock, having a fair value of $190,000. Of the total shares issued, 100 shares were issued for $100,000 ($1,000 /share). The remaining 90 shares were issued for services rendered having a fair value of $90,000 ($1,000 /share), based upon the stated value per share. In March 2012, all 190 shares were converted into 19,000,000 common shares at a conversion price of $0.00001 per share and a loss of $614,984.

 

This class of stock has the following provisions:

 

·Stated Value - $1,000 per share,
·Non-voting,
·Liquidation rights entitle an amount equal to the stated value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends
·As long as any Series C, convertible preferred stock is outstanding, the Company is prohibited from executing various corporate actions without the majority consent of the Series C, convertible preferred stockholders authorization; and
·Convertible at the higher of (a) $0.01 or (b) such price that is a 50% discount to market using the average of the low 2 closing bid prices, 5 days preceding conversion

 

Due to the existence of an option to convert at a variable amount, the Company treated this series of preferred stock as a derivative liability due to the potential for settlement in a variable quantity of shares. Additionally, the Company computed the fair value of the derivative liability at the commitment date and remeasurement date, which was $293 and $175, respectively, using the Black-Scholes assumptions below. This transaction is analogous to a dividend with a direct charge to retained earnings.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to us or our management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our current view with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including those set forth in the Risk Factors in Part II Item 1A, and elsewhere in our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2011. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

 

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

This discounting of product was approximately 10% more than normal, thereby decreasing overall gross profit to approximately 16% compared to the 26% gross profit margin for the same three months ending June 30, 2011.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 increased approximately $1,372,000 over the same three months ended June 30, 2011. The increases seen in sales had corresponding increases in the general and administrative expenses with additional sales staff and office related expenses bringing the total to approximately $4,151,000 for the quarter ending June 30, 2012, as compared to approximately $2,779,000 for the comparable three months ended June 30, 2011.

 

The major increases were the result of approximately $400,000 in advertising, $300,000 in legal fees, $400,000 for salaries and benefits, $200,000 in stock based compensation, and $200,000 in increased travel and office expenses.

 

Loss from Operations

 

The loss from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012, was $1,664,341 as compared to a loss of $1,893,768 for the comparable three months ended June 30, 2011.

Other Income and Expenses

 

Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2012, were $7,846,245, as compared to other expenses of $5,542,855 for the comparable three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in other income of $13,389,100 is comprised of items shown in the table below:

 

   Three Months Ended 
   June 30, 2012   June 30, 2011 
           
Derivative expense  $(1,029,541)  $(2,698,490)
           
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities  $9,854,045   $766,487 
           
Loss on settlement of accounts payable and debt  $-   $(627,384)
           
Interest expense  $(976,686)  $(2,983,468)
           
Foreign currency transaction loss  $(1,573)  $- 
           
Other income (expense)  $-   $- 
           
Total other income and expenses  $7,846,245   $(5,542,854)

 

The increase in this income category was mainly attributed to the changes in fair value of derivative contracts and derivative expense of approximately $10,800,000.

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2012, was $6,181,904, or $0.00 per share, as compared to a net loss of $7,436,623 or loss per share of $(0.04) for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

 

Inflation did not have a material impact on the Company’s operations for the period. Other than the foregoing, management knows of no trends, demands, or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.

 

Other Comprehensive Income

 

The Company recognized $40,719 of other comprehensive income related to translation adjustments for transactions entered into in Canadian Dollars and translated to US Dollars for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The following table summarizes total current assets, liabilities and working capital at June 30, 2012, compared to December 31, 2011.

 

    June 30, 2012    December 31,
2011
    Increase/Decrease 
Current Assets  $2,956,242   $4,016,833   $(1,060,591)
Current Liabilities  $15,624,259   $17,710,100   $(2,085,841)
Working Capital (Deficit)  $(12,668,017)  $(13,693,267)  $1,025,250 

 

Our primary source of operating cash has been through the sale of equity and the issuance of convertible secured promissory notes and other short term debt as discussed below.

 

At June 30, 2012, the Company had cash of $291,971 and working capital deficit of approximately $12,668,000, compared to cash of $659,764 and a working capital deficit of approximately $13,700,000 at December 31, 2011.

 

Cash provided by operating activities was approximately $438,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to cash used in operating activities of approximately $2,600,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in cash provided by operating activities of approximately $3,100,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011, was primarily due to increased payables and deferred revenues of approximately $1,000,000.

 

25
 

 

Cash used in investing activities increased to approximately $600,000 from approximately $300,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, due to slightly higher spending on fixed assets. Future investments in property and equipment, as well as further development of our Internet presence will largely depend on available capital resources.

 

Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $266,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to cash flows provided by financing activities of approximately $3,400,000 for six months ended June 30, 2011. The approximately $3,700.000 decrease is due to the $4,100,000 increase in repayments of debt.

Going Concern

 

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $9,853,389 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, and a working capital deficit and stockholders’ deficit of $12,668,017 and $11,013,113 respectively, at June 30, 2012. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, sale of aged debt to third parties in exchange for free trading stock, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The Company may need to incur liabilities with certain related parties to sustain the Company’s existence.

 

The Company will require additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. The Company believes its current available cash along with anticipated revenues may be insufficient to meet its cash needs for the near future. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

 

In response to these problems, management has taken the following actions:

 

  seeking additional third party debt and/or equity financing; and,
  continue with the implementation of the business plan; and,
  allocate sufficient resources to continue with advertising and marketing efforts.

 

Financing

 

Our primary source of operating cash has been through the sale of equity and the issuance of secured promissory notes.

 

The Company continues to explore potential expansion opportunities in the industry in order to boost sales, while leveraging distribution systems to consolidate lower costs. The Company needs to continue to raise money in order execute the business plan.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

In August 2010, the Company leased office space under a non-cancelable operating lease, expiring in December 2015 for their Denver office.

In February 2012, the Company leased office space under a non-cancelable operating lease, expiring in February 2013 for a warehouse in Idaho.

In April 2012, the Company leased office space under a non-cancelable operating lease, expiring in March 2014 for an office in Canada.

In July 2012, the Company leased office space under a non-cancelable operating lease, expiring in August 2015 for a Tennessee warehouse.

 

Future minimum annual rental payments for the above leases are approximately as follows:

 

 

2012 (6 months)  $157,000 
2013   375,000 
2014   402,000 
2015   306,000 
Total minimum lease payments  $1,240,000

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non-conforming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company operates in an industry that is subject to rapid change and intense competition. The Company’s operations will be subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, regulatory and other risks, including the potential risk of business failure.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non-conforming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable represents trade obligations from customers that are subject to normal trade collection terms. The accounts receivable are sent directly to the Company’s third party manufacturer and netted with any outstanding liabilities to the manufacturer. Liabilities to the manufacturer totaled $2,351,060 at June 30, 2012, and are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and considers the need to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical collection experience and specific customer information. Accordingly, the actual amounts could vary from the recorded allowances. There is also a review of customer discounts at the period end and an accrual made for discounts earned but not yet received by quarter end.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.

 

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

 

  · Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

  · Level 2: Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

  · Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

  

27
 

 

The following are the major categories of liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, using quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

 

   June 30,
2012
   December 31,
 2011
 
           
Derivative liabilities (Level 2)  $7,908,860   $7,061,238 

 

The Company's financial instruments consisted primarily of accounts receivable, prepaids, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, debt and customer deposits. The Company’s debt approximates fair value based upon current borrowing rates available to the Company for debt with similar maturities. The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments generally approximated their fair values as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company records revenue when all of the following have occurred: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) product has been shipped or delivered, (3) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. 

 

Depending on individual customer agreements, sales are recognized either upon shipment of products to customers or upon delivery. For all of our Canadian sales, which represents 2% of total sales, and for one of our largest domestic customers (See customer “B” below under concentrations), which represents 11% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 revenue is recognized upon delivery.

 

The Company has determined that advertising related credits that were granted to customers fell within the guidance of ASC No. 605-50-55 (“ Revenue Recognition” – Customer Payments and Incentives – Implementation Guidance and Illustrations) . The guidance indicates that, absent evidence of benefit to the vendor, appropriate treatment requires netting these types of payments against revenues and not expensing as advertising expense.

 

The Company records store support, giveaways, sales allowances and discounts as a direct reduction of sales.

 

The Company has an informal 7-day right of return for products. There were nominal returns for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

 

Foreign Currency

 

MusclePharm began operations in Canada in April of 2012. The Canadian Dollar was determined to be the functional currency as the majority of the transactions related to the day to day operations of the business are exchanged in Canadian Dollars. At the end of the period, the financial results of the Canadian operation are translated into the United States Dollar, which is the reporting currency, and added to the US operations for consolidated company financial results. The revenue and expense items are translated using the average rate for the period and the assets and liabilities at the end of period rate. Transactions that have completed the accounting cycle and resulted in a gain or loss related to translation are recorded in realized gain or loss due to foreign currency translation under other income expense on the income statement. Transaction that have not completed their accounting cycle but appear to have gain or loss due to the translation process are recorded as unrealized gain or loss due to translation and held in the equity section on the balance sheet until such date the accounting cycle of the transaction is complete and the actual realized gain or loss is recognized. 

  

Accounts Receivable

 

MusclePharm performs ongoing evaluations of its customer’s financial condition and generally does not require collateral. Management reviews accounts receivable periodically and reduces the carrying amount by a valuation allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of amounts that may not be collectible. Allowances, if any, for uncollectible accounts receivable are determined based upon information available and historical experience.

 

Beneficial Conversion Feature

 

For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a “beneficial conversion feature” (“BCF”) and related debt discount.

 

When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF is to be recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument. The discount is to be amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company continues its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.

 

28
 

 

Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount

 

The Company may pay debt issue costs, and record debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of convertible debt. These costs are amortized over the life of the debt to interest expense. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

 

Original Issue Discount

 

For certain convertible debt issued, the Company provides the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount is recorded to debt discount and additional paid in capital at an amount not to exceed gross proceeds raised, reducing the face amount of the debt and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

Share-Based Payments

 

Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants, restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Share-based compensation awards issued to non- employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2011 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS.  ASU 2011-04 requires reporting entities to disclose additional information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, ASU 2011-04 requires reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We hold warrants that have related derivative liabilities and expenses that change period to period based on the closing stock price at the period end date.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

(a) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(c) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in report that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

(b) CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

This Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuer’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

1.           Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer;

 

29
 

 

2.           Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and

 

3.           Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is appropriately recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods.

 

Management has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 based on the framework established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).

 

Based on this assessment, management concluded that as of May 2012 it had material weaknesses in its internal control procedures.

 

The Company’s assessment identified certain material weaknesses which are set forth below:

 

Functional Controls and Segregation of Duties

 

Because of the company’s limited resources, there are limited controls over information processing, and insufficient internal controls over the accuracy, completeness and authorization of transactions.

 

There is an inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. Our company’s management is composed of a small number of individuals resulting in a situation where limitations on segregation of duties exist. In order to remedy this situation we would need to hire additional staff to provide greater segregation of duties. Currently, it is not feasible to hire additional staff to obtain optimal segregation of duties. Management will reassess this matter in the following year to determine whether improvement in segregation of duty is feasible.

 

Accordingly, as the result of identifying the above material weaknesses we have concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls.

 

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above were the result of the scale of our operations and are intrinsic to our small size. Management believes these weaknesses did not have a material effect on our financial results and is actively working to take remedial actions.

  

We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us by preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

 

(1) We will continue to update the documentation of our internal control processes, including formal risk assessment of our financial reporting processes.

 

(2) Retain staff to assist in financial and accounting controls.

 

Subsequent to December 31 2011, we have undertaken the following steps to address the deficiencies stated above:

 

· Continued the development and documentation of internal controls and procedures surrounding the financial reporting process, primarily through the use of account reconciliations, and supervision.

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.

 

(c) Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

 

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within MusclePharm have been detected.
