LIBERATOR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO THE INTERIM UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE-MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 AND 2011

 

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Liberator, Inc. and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"”we” or "Liberator") included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. The year-end condensed balance sheet data were derived from audited consolidated financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

 

Going Concern - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP accounting principles, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $7,752,721 and a working capital deficit of $1,260,105 as of September 30, 2012.

 

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

 

These actions include an ongoing initiative to increase gross profit margins through improved production controls and reporting. We also plan to manage discretionary expense levels to be better aligned with current and expected revenue levels.  Furthermore, our plan of operation for the next twelve months continues a strategy for growth within our existing lines of business with an on-going focus on growing domestic sales. We estimate that the operational plans we have identified will require approximately $800,000 of funding. We expect to invest approximately $400,000 on sales and marketing programs, primarily sexual wellness advertising in magazines, on the internet and on cable television. We will also be exploring the opportunity to acquire other compatible businesses.

 

We plan to finance the required $800,000 with a combination of anticipated cash flows from operations over the next twelve months as well as cash on hand and cash we will seek to obtain through equity and debt financings.

 

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

NOTE 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of our wholly owned operating subsidiaries, OneUp Innovations, Inc. and Foam Labs, Inc. For the period July 1, 2011 to October 1, 2011, Web Merchants, Inc. is classified as discontinued operations on the statement of operations. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 

The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP”) for complete financial statements.  These consolidated condensed financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012 filed on October 11, 2012.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period reported.  Management reviews these estimates and assumptions periodically and reflects the effect of revisions in the period that they are determined to be necessary.  Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

 

 

7


 
 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Revenue Recognition     

 

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

 

The Company records product sales net of estimated product returns and discounts from the list prices for its products. The amounts of product returns and the discount amounts have not been material to date. The Company includes shipping and handling costs in cost of product sales.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

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

  

 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects management's best estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The Company determines the allowance based on historical experience, specifically identified nonpaying accounts and other currently available evidence. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly with a focus on significant individual past due balances over 90 days. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. At September 30, 2012, accounts receivable totaled $691,334 net of $8,051 in the allowance for doubtful accounts and $16,982 in reserve for returns and discounts. At June 30, 2012, accounts receivable totaled $755,303 net of $9,503 in the allowance for doubtful accounts and $38,536 reserve for returns and discounts.

  

Inventories and Inventory Reserves

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Market is defined as sales price less cost to dispose and a normal profit margin.  Inventory costs include materials, labor, depreciation and overhead. The company establishes reserves for excess and obsolete inventory, based on prevailing circumstances and judgment for consideration of current events, such as economic conditions, that may affect inventory. The reserve required to record inventory at lower of cost or market may be adjusted in response to changing conditions.

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable.  As of September 30, 2012, substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents were held at a single financial institution.  As of September 30, 2012 none of our cash and cash equivalents exceeded the FDIC insured limits.  Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers primarily located in North America and Europe.

 

Fair Value of Financial and Derivative Instruments

 

At September 30, 2012, our financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other long-term debt.

 

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

 

The Company measures the fair value of its assets and liabilities under the guidance of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements, but its provisions apply to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurement.

 

ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. ASC 820 requires the Company to use valuation techniques to measure fair value that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized as follows:

 

· Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

 

· Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or market-corroborated inputs; and

 

· Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions about how market participants would price the assets or liabilities.

 

The valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

A. Market approach - Uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities

 

B. Income approach - Uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations about those future amounts, including present value techniques, option-pricing models and excess earnings method

 

C. Cost approach - Based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost)

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed in the period when the advertisements are first aired or distributed to the public. Prepaid advertising (included in prepaid expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets) was $36,238 at September 30, 2012 and $17,340 at June 30, 2012. Advertising expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $101,628 and $64,132, respectively.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses for new products are expensed as they are incurred. Expenses for new product development totaled $25,727 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and $33,006 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Research and development costs are included in general and administrative expense.

 

Property and Equipment

 

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

 

 

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

 

Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets to be held are reviewed for events or changes in circumstances which indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. They are tested for recoverability using undiscounted cash flows to determine whether or not impairment to such value has occurred as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. The Company has determined that there was no impairment at September 30, 2012.

 

Operating Leases

 

The Company leases its facility under a ten year operating lease that was signed in September 2005 and expires December 31, 2015. The lease is on an escalating schedule with the final year on the lease at $34,358 per month. The liability for this difference in the monthly payments is accounted for as a deferred rent liability, and the balance in this account at September 30, 2012 was $237,340. The rent expense under this lease for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $80,931. The Company also leases certain equipment under operating leases, as more fully described in Note 16 - Commitments and Contingencies .

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. We measure the cost of each stock option at its fair value on the grant date. Each award vests over the subsequent period during which the recipient is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period). The cost of each award is recognized as expense in the financial statements over the respective vesting period. The expense recognized reflects an estimated forfeiture rate for unvested awards of 25%. All of the Company’s stock options are service-based awards, and because the Company’s stock options are plain vanilla,” as defined by the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, they are reflected only in Stockholders’ Equity and Compensation Expense accounts.

Results of Reporting Lines

 

We have identified three reportable sales channels:  Direct, Wholesale and Other.  Direct includes product sales through our three e-commerce sites and our single retail store. Wholesale includes Liberator branded products sold to distributors and retailers, non-Liberator products sold to retailers, and private label items sold to other resellers. The Wholesale category also includes contract manufacturing services, which consists of specialty items that are manufactured in small quantities for certain customers, and which, to date, has not been a material part of our business. Other consists principally of shipping and handling fees and costs derived from our Direct business and fulfillment service fees.

 

The following is a summary of sales channels results for the Direct, Wholesale, and Other segments.

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates applicable to the period that includes the enactment date.

 

As a result of the implementation of accounting for uncertain tax positions effective July 1, 2008, the Company did not recognize a liability for unrecognized tax benefits and, accordingly, was not required to record any cumulative effect adjustment to beginning of year retained earnings. As of both the date of adoption and September 30, 2012, there was no significant liability for income tax associated with unrecognized tax benefits.

 

In evaluating a tax position for recognition, management evaluates whether it is more-likely-than-not that a position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, based on technical merits of the position. If the tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the tax position is measured and recognized in the Company's financial statements as the largest amount of tax benefit that, in management's judgment, is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement.

The Company recognizes accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as well as any related penalties in interest expense in its consolidated statements of operations. As of the date of adoption and during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, there was no accrual for the payment of interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

 

 Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, which we refer to as the FASB, issued new accounting guidance amending fair value measurement to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP, and International Financial Reporting Standards. We adopted the new accounting guidance on January 1, 2012. As the new accounting guidance primarily amended the disclosure requirements related to fair value measurement, the adoption did not have any impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on the presentation of other comprehensive income, which was subsequently revised in December 2011. The new guidance eliminates the current option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. Instead, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. We adopted the new accounting guidance on July 1, 2012 which resulted in reporting the components of comprehensive loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, rather than in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity, as previously reported. As these standards impact presentation requirements only, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The update provides that an entity shall disclose information to enable users of its financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on its financial position. Required disclosures should be made separately for assets and liabilities and include (a) gross amounts of those assets and liabilities; (b) the amounts that have been offset; (c) the net amounts presented in the statement of financial position; and (d) the amounts subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement.  This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company will adopt this guidance for its first quarter in fiscal year 2014. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this update will have a significant impact on its results of operations or financial position.

 

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangible-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing indefinite- Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. Under the guidance, testing the decline in the realizable value (impairment) of indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill has been simplified.  The guidance allows an organization the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test.  An organization electing to perform a qualitative assessment is no longer required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset unless the organization determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is “more likely than not” that the asset is impaired.  The guidance is effective for impairment tests for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012 (our fiscal 2014).  The company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2012-02 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2012, the FASB issued accounting guidance containing technical corrections and improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification, which we refer to as the Codification. The technical corrections are relatively minor corrections and clarifications. These corrections, which affect various Codification topics and apply to all reporting entities within the scope of those topics, are divided into three main categories: (1) Source literature amendments which carry forward the original intent of certain pre-Codification authoritative literature that was inadvertently altered during the Codification process; (2) Guidance clarification and reference corrections which resulted in changes to wording and references to avoid misapplication or misinterpretation of guidance; and (3) Relocated guidance which moved guidance from one part of the Codification to another to correct instances in which the scope of pre-Codification guidance may have been unintentionally narrowed or broadened during the Codification process. The guidance also made conforming changes for the use of the term "fair value" in certain pre-Codification standards. The FASB did not provide transition guidance for Codification amendments that are not expected to change current practice. However, it did for those amendments that are more substantive and these will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. We are still evaluating the impact these technical corrections will have, if any, on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

We have determined that all other recently issued accounting standards will not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements, or do not apply to our operations.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 Basic net income (loss) per common share was determined by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.  Basic and diluted net loss per share is the same because all outstanding common stock equivalents have been excluded, as they are anti-dilutive.

 

The following potentially issuable common shares were not included in the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share because they would have an anti-dilutive effect due to net income (losses) for each period:

NOTE 4. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Options

 

At September 30, 2012, the Company had the 2009 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), which is shareholder-approved and under which 5,000,000 shares are reserved for issuance until the Plan terminates on October 20, 2019.

 

Under the Plan, eligible employees and certain independent consultants may be granted options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares issuable under the Plan will either be shares of the Company’s authorized but previously unissued common stock or shares reacquired by the Company, including shares purchased on the open market. As of September 30, 2012, the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan was 2,414,500.

Stock-based compensation

 

We account for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. We measure the cost of each stock option and restricted stock award at its fair value on the grant date. Each award vests over the subsequent period during which the recipient is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period). The cost of each award is recognized as expense in the financial statements over the respective vesting period.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 are based on awards ultimately expected to vest, and is reduced for estimated forfeitures.

Management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to forecasted undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount exceeds its estimated future cash flows, then an impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value. Management has determined no asset impairment occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

NOTE 9. LINE OF CREDIT

 

On May 24, 2011, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, OneUp Innovations, Inc. (“OneUp”), and OneUp’s wholly owned subsidiary, Foam Labs, Inc. (Foam Labs”) entered into a credit facility with a finance company, Advance Financial Corporation, to provide it with an asset based line of credit of up to $750,000 against 85% of eligible accounts receivable (as defined in the agreement) for the purpose of improving working capital.  The term of the agreement is one year, renewable for additional one-year terms unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least 90 days prior to the end of the current financing period. The credit facility is secured by our accounts receivable and other rights to payment, general intangibles, inventory and equipment, and are subject to eligibility requirements for current accounts receivable. Advances under the agreement bear interest at a rate of 2.5% over the lenders Index Rate (as of September 30, 2011 the lenders Index Rate was 4.75%.)  In addition there is a Monthly Service Fee (as defined in the agreement) of up to 1.25% per month. The Company’s CEO, Louis Friedman has personally guaranteed the repayment of the facility.  In addition, Liberator, Inc., has provided its corporate guaranty of the credit facility.  On September 30, 2012, the balance owed under this line of credit was $437,761.  On September 30, 2012, we were in substantial compliance with all of the material financial and other covenants required under this credit facility.

 

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

  

NOTE 10. CREDIT CARD ADVANCE

 

On October 4, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with Credit Cash NJ, LLC whereby Credit Cash agreed to loan OneUp and Foam Labs a total of $400,000. The loan is secured by OneUp’s and Foam Lab’s existing and future credit card collections. Terms of the loan call for a repayment of $448,000, which includes a one-time finance charge of $48,000, approximately ten months after the funding date. This will be accomplished by Credit Cash withholding a fixed amount each business day of $2,074 from OneUp’s credit card receipts until full repayment is made. The loan is guaranteed by the Company and is personally guaranteed by the Company’s CEO and controlling shareholder, Louis S. Friedman.

 

NOTE 11. UNSECURED LINES OF CREDIT

 

The Company has drawn cash advances on three unsecured lines of credit that are in the name of the Company and Louis S. Friedman. The terms of these unsecured lines of credit call for monthly payments of principal and interest, with interest rates ranging from 7% to 12%. The aggregate amount owed on the two unsecured lines of credit was $32,622 at September 30, 2012 and $38,980 at June 30, 2012.

 

NOTE 12. CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE - SHAREHOLDER

 

 On June 24, 2009, the Company issued a 3% convertible note payable to Hope Capital with a face amount of $375,000. Hope Capital is a shareholder of the Company and was the majority shareholder of the Company before the merger with OneUp Innovations.  The note was convertible, at the holder’s option or the Company’s option, into common stock at $.25 per share and could be converted at any time prior to the maturity date of August 15, 2012. Effective August 15, 2012, the note was amended to reduce the per share conversion price to $0.20 and extend the maturity date to August 15, 2013. Upon maturity, the Company has the option to either repay the note plus accrued interest in cash or issue the equivalent number of shares of common stock at $.20 per share, unless such conversion would force the holders’ total ownership of common stock of the Company to exceed 9.9% of the total shares outstanding. As of September 30, 2012, the principle balance was $375,000 and accrued interest was $36,647.

On September 2, 2009, the Company issued a 3% convertible note payable to Hope Capital.  The note was convertible, at the holder’s option, into common stock at $.25 per share and could be converted at any time prior to the maturity date of September 2, 2012. Effective September 2, 2012, the note was amended to reduce the per share conversion price to $0.10 and extend the maturity date to September 2, 2013. There was no beneficial conversion on the date of amendment as the face value was equal to the conversion price. As of Sept 30, 2012, the principle balance was $250,000 and the accrued interest was $23,096.

 

NOTE 13.  TAXES

 

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

 

 Utilization of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions. The Company may have experienced a change of control that could result in a substantial reduction to the previously reported net operating loss carryforwards at June 30, 2012; however, the Company has not performed a change of control study and, therefore, has not determined if such change has taken place and if such a change has occurred the related reduction to the net operating loss carryforwards.  As of September 30, 2012, the net operating loss carryforwards continue to be fully reserved and any reduction in such amounts as a result of this study would also reduce the related valuation allowances resulting in no net impact to the financial results of the Company.

 

The Company applies the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB”) Interpretation No.48 (FIN 48”) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.”  As of September 30, 2012, there was no significant liability for income tax associated with unrecognized tax benefits. 

 

With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income tax examination by tax authorities for tax years before 2008.

 

NOTE 14. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Common Stock- The Company’s authorized common stock was 175,000,000 shares at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012.  Common shareholders are entitled to dividends if and when declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, subject to preferred stockholder dividend rights. At September 30, 2012, the Company had reserved the following shares of common stock for issuance:

 

    September 30,

Preferred Stock - On February 18, 2011, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation, effective February 9, 2011, authorizing “blank check” preferred stock and the Company now has 10,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001 per share, of which 4,300,000 shares have been designated and issued as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of common stock and has a liquidation preference of $.2325 ($1,000,000 in the aggregate). Liquidation payments to the preferred holders have priority and are made in preference to any payments to the holders of common stock. In addition, each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to the result of: (i) the number of shares of common stock of the Company (the Common Shares”) issued and outstanding at the time of such vote multiplied by 1.01; divided by (ii) the total number of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares issued and outstanding at the time of such vote. At each meeting of shareholders of the Company with respect to any and all matters presented to the shareholders of the Company for their action or consideration, including the election of directors, holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares shall vote together with the holders of Common Shares as a single class.

NOTE 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Operating Leases

 

The Company leases its facility under a ten year operating lease that was signed in September 2005 and expires December 31, 2015. Lease payments are on an escalating schedule with the final year on the lease at $34,358 per month. The liability for this difference in the monthly payments is accounted for as a deferred rent liability, and the balance in this account at September 30, 2012 was $237,340 and $250,174 at June 30, 2012. The rent expense under this lease for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $80,931.

 

The lease for the facility requires the Company to provide a standby letter of credit payable to the lessor in the amount of $225,000 until December 31, 2010. On December 31, 2010, the standby letter of credit for $225,000 was cancelled and a letter of credit in the amount of $25,000 in lieu of a security deposit was provided to the lessor.  This letter of credit is secured by an assignment by Leslie Vogelman, the Company’s Treasurer, to Fidelity Bank of a Certificate of Deposit in the amount of $25,000.

 

The Company leases certain material handling equipment under an operating lease.  The lease amount is $827 per month and expires December 2012.

 

The Company also leases certain postage equipment under an operating lease.  The lease amount is $104 per month and expires January 2013.

 

The Company entered into an operating lease for certain material handling equipment in September 2010. The lease amount is $1,587 per month and expires in September 2015.

 

Capital Leases

 

The Company has acquired equipment under the provisions of long-term leases. For financial reporting purposes, minimum lease payments relating to the equipment have been capitalized. The leased properties under these capital leases have a total cost of $349,205. These assets are included in the fixed assets listed in Note 6 - Equipment and Leasehold Improvements and include computers, software, furniture, and equipment. The capital leases have stated or imputed interest rates ranging from 7% to 21%.

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

 

Results of Operations

 

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information derived from our Interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, expressed as a percentage of net sales.  The discussion that follows the table should be read in conjunction with our Interim Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

    Three Months Ended

Net Sales     100.0 %     100.0 %
Cost Of Goods Sold     68.6 %     70.7 %
Gross Margin     31.4 %     29.3 %
                 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses     28.6 %     31.1 %
                 
Income (Loss) From Operations     2.8 %     (1.8) %

 

 

Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2011

 

Net sales. Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased from the comparable prior year period by $256,035, or 8.7%.  The increase in net sales was primarily due to an increase in sales through the Wholesale category. Sales through this category increased by 12.5%, or $201,099 during the three months ended September 30, 2012, from the comparable year earlier period. The Wholesale category includes Liberator branded products sold to distributors and retailers, non-Liberator products sold to retailers, and private label items sold to other resellers. The Wholesale category also includes contract manufacturing services, which consists of specialty items that are manufactured in small quantities for certain customers, and which, to date, has not been a material part of our business. Sales through our Direct category also increased, but to a lesser extent than sales to our Wholesale customers. During the first quarter, sales through the Direct category increased approximately 8.4% from the prior year to $1,182,877.  Our Direct category includes product sales through our two e-commerce sites and our single retail store. Sales of Tenga products accounted for approximately 22% in each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and approximately 14% of the gross profit in those same periods. The current exclusive distributorship agreement with TENGA Co., Ltd ("TENGA") expires on February 17, 2013. TENGA has verbally indicated that they plan to extend their agreement with us on a semi-exclusive basis for at least an additional one (1) year term. Although the Company expects to continue to purchase and sell Tenga products on a semi-exclusive basis after February 17, 2013, there can be no assurance in that regard nor is there any assurance that the current sales level of Tenga products will be maintained.

 

Gross margin. Gross profit, derived from net sales less the cost of goods sold, includes the cost of materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead, freight costs and depreciation.  Gross margin as a percentage of sales increased to 31% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from 29% in the comparable prior year period and primarily resulted from an increase in margin in the Wholesale sales channel and, to a lesser extent, and improvement in the Direct sales channel margin. The gross margin from the Other sales channel decreased to a negative margin during the quarter, as we offered more “free freight” promotions during the period. The Other sales channel consists principally of shipping and handling fees derived from our Direct sales channel.  

 

Operating expenses. Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were 28.6% of net sales, or $917,349, compared to 31% of net sales, or $918,835, for the same period in the prior year.  The decrease in operating expenses (as a percentage of net sales) was primarily the result of reduced general and administrative expense and reduced depreciation expense due to assets becoming fully depreciated. Advertising and promotion expense increased from $64,132 to $101,628, as the Company placed additional magazine advertising during the quarter. General and administrative expense decreased by $20,180, primarily as a result of lower legal expense and investor relations expense. Total legal expense during the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $9,686 compared to $41,609 in the prior year period.

 

 23


 
 

 

 

Other income (expense). Other income (expense) during the first quarter decreased from expense of ($94,545) in fiscal 2011 to expense of ($84,948) in fiscal 2012.  Interest expense and financing costs in the prior year quarter included $12,257 from the amortization of the debt discount on the convertible notes. Interest expense increased from $82,412 in the prior year first quarter to $85,045 in the current year quarter, due to higher borrowing balances and higher interest rates on those higher debt balances.

 

 

Variability of Results

 

We have experienced significant quarterly fluctuations in operating results and anticipate that these fluctuations may continue in future periods. Operating results have fluctuated as a result of changes in sales levels to consumers and wholesalers, competition, seasonality, costs associated with new product introductions, and increases in raw material costs. In addition, future operating results may fluctuate as a result of factors beyond our control such as foreign exchange fluctuation, changes in government regulations, and economic changes in the regions in which we operate and sell. A portion of our operating expenses are relatively fixed and the timing of increases in expense levels is based in large part on forecasts of future sales. Therefore, if net sales are below expectations in any given period, the adverse impact on results of operations may be magnified by our inability to meaningfully adjust spending in certain areas, or the inability to adjust spending quickly enough, as in personnel and administrative costs, to compensate for a sales shortfall. We may also choose to reduce prices or increase spending in response to market conditions, and these decisions may have a material adverse effect on financial condition and results of operations.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The following table summarizes our cash flows:  

    Three Months Ended  
    September 30,  
    2012     2011  
    (Unaudited)  
Cash flow data from continuing operations:                
Cash provided by operating activities   $ 111,992     $ 211,127  
Cash used in investing activities     (112,136 )     (10,301 )
Cash used in financing activities     (176,908 )     (277,422 )

    

 As of September 30, 2012, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $317,368, compared to $440,094 in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2011.

 

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash flow that we generate from our operations, availability of borrowings under our line of credit and cash raised through equity and debt financings.

 

Operating Activities

 

  Net cash provided by operating activities primarily consists of net income adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and the effect of changes in working capital. Net cash provided by operating activities was $111,992 in the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $211,127 in the three months ended September 30, 2011. The primary reason for this reduction in cash was due to the increase in inventory levels ($144,662) offset by an increase in accounts payable of $120,517.

 

24


 
 

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash used in investing activities in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 of $112,136 and $10,301, respectively, was primarily attributable to the purchase of production equipment, computer equipment and capitalized software development costs.

 

Financing Activities

 

Cash used in financing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2012 of $176,908 was primarily attributable to the repayment of debt obligations, partially offset by borrowings under the line of credit.

 

Cash used in financing activities in the three months ended September 30, 2011 of $277,422 was primarily attributable to the repayment of debt obligations, partially offset by borrowings under the line of credit and the issuance of a short-term note.

 

Inflation

 

We cannot determine the precise effects of inflation; however, inflation continues to have an influence on the cost of materials, salaries, and transportation costs.  We attempt to offset the effects of inflation through increased selling prices, productivity improvements, and reduction of costs.

 

Sufficiency of Liquidity

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. We reported a net loss of $782,417 for the year ended June 30, 2012. As of September 30, 2012, we have an accumulated deficit of $7,752,721 and a working capital deficit of $1,260,105.

 

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

 

These actions include an ongoing initiative to increase gross profit margins through improved production controls and reporting. We also plan to manage discretionary expense levels to be better aligned with current and expected revenue levels.  Furthermore, our plan of operation for the next twelve months continues a strategy for growth within our existing lines of business with an on-going focus on growing domestic sales. We estimate that the operational plans we have identified will require approximately $800,000 of funding. We expect to invest approximately $400,000 on sales and marketing programs, primarily sexual wellness advertising in magazines, on the internet and on cable television. We will also be exploring the opportunity to acquire other compatible businesses.

 

We plan to finance the required $800,000 with a combination of anticipated cash flows from operations over the next twelve months as well as cash on hand and cash we will seek to obtain through equity and debt financings.

 

25


 
 

 

Capital Resources

 

We do not currently have any material commitments for capital expenditures. We expect total capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal 2013 to be under $75,000 and to be funded by capital leases and, to a lesser extent, anticipated operating cash flows and borrowings under the line of credit. This includes capital expenditures that we may incur in conjunction with initiatives to further upgrade our e-commerce platform and our computer network infrastructure.

 

If our business plans and cost estimates are inaccurate and our operations require additional cash or if we deviate from our current plans, we could be required to seek additional debt financing for particular projects or for ongoing operational needs.  This indebtedness could harm our business if we are unable to obtain additional financing on reasonable terms.  In addition, any indebtedness we incur in the future could subject us to restrictive covenants limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to changes in, our business.  If we do not comply with such covenants, our lenders could accelerate repayment of our debt or restrict our access to further borrowings, which in turn could restrict our operating flexibility and endanger our ability to continue operations.

 

At September 30, 2012, we had $437,761 outstanding on our line of credit, compared to an outstanding balance of $506,753 at June 30, 2012.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA loss for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011: 

 

    Three months ended September 30,  
    2012     2011  
Net income (loss)   $ 6,479     $ (172,944 )
                 
Less interest income     (97 )     (124 )
                 
Plus interest expense     85,045       82,412  
                 
Plus depreciation and amortization expense     43,808       62,467  
                 
Plus stock-based compensation     10,574       5,413  
                 
Plus amortization of debt issuance costs     -       12,257  
                 
Adjusted EBITDA income (loss)   $

145,809

    $

(10,519

)

  

 

As used herein, Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, amortization of debt issuance costs and stock-based compensation expense. We have excluded the non-operating item, amortization of debt issuance costs, because it represents a non-cash charge that is not related to the Company’s operations. We have excluded the non-cash expense, stock-based compensation, as it does not reflect the cash-based operations of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which is not required by or defined under GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). The presentation of this financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial measures prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, including the net income (loss) of the Company or net cash used in operating activities. Management recognizes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the items associated with the Company’s net income or net loss as determined in accordance with GAAP, and are not a substitute for or a measure of the Company’s profitability or net earnings. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because we believe it is useful to investors as a measure of comparative operating performance and liquidity, and because it is less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from depreciation and amortization and non-cash charges for amortization of debt issuance costs and stock-based compensation expense.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We do not enter into any transactions using derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments and believe that our exposure to market risk associated with other financial instruments is not material.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer (Chief Executive Officer) and principal financial officer (Chief Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in United States Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the management, including CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
