LIBERATOR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 (UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Liberator, Inc. (the “Company” or “Liberator”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on February 25, 1999. References to the “Company” in these notes include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, OneUp Innovations, Inc. (“OneUp”), and Foam Labs, Inc. (“Foam Labs”.)

 

The Company is a designer and manufacturer of various specialty furnishings for the sexual wellness market.  The Company has also become an online retailer of products for the sexual wellness market.  The Company’s sales and manufacturing operation are located in the same facility in Atlanta, Georgia.  Sales are generated through internet and print advertisements.  We have a diversified customer base with no particular concentration of credit risk in one economic sector.  For the three months ending September 30, 2013, sales to customer A accounted for 16% of our wholesale channel net sales. Foreign operations and foreign net sales are not material. Our business is seasonal and as a result we typically experience higher sales in our second and third quarters.

 

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, 2013 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, 2013.

 

Going Concern - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. As of September 30, 2013, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $8,074,627 and a working capital deficit of $1,220,429. This raises substantial doubt about to its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

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 growth plans we have identified will require approximately $300,000 of funding. We expect to invest approximately $150,000 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 $300,000 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.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 (UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 2. 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. 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 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, 2013 filed on September 30, 2013.

 

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

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Revenue Recognition   

 

We recognize revenues as goods are shipped to customers and title is transferred. The criteria for recognition of revenue are when persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists and both title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Sales returns and allowances are estimated and recorded as a reduction to sales in the period in which sales are recorded.

 

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.

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 (UNAUDITED)

 

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.

 

The following is a summary of Accounts Receivable as of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013.

 

  September 30,
2013
  June 30,
2013
Accounts receivable  $693,884   $555,628 
Allowance for doubtful accounts   (4,015)   (4,986)
Allowance for discounts and returns   (29,579)   (27,742)
Total accounts receivable, net  $660,290   $522,900 

 

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.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains its cash accounts with banks located in Georgia.  The total cash balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per bank.  The Company had bank balances on deposit at September 30, 2013 that exceeded the balance insured by the FDIC by $58,635.  Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers primarily located in North America and Europe.

 

During the three month ended September 30, 2013, we purchased 22% and 21% of total inventory purchases from two vendors.

 

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, we purchased 30% and 18% of total inventory purchases from two vendors.

 

As of September 30, 2013 one of the Company’s customers represents 20% of the total accounts receivables.

 

Fair Value of Financial and Derivative Instruments

 

At September 30, 2013, 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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 (UNAUDITED)

 

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) was $17,177 at September 30, 2013 and $16,709 at June 30, 2013. Advertising expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $85,827 and $101,628, respectively.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses for new products are expensed as they are incurred. Expenses for new product development totaled $23,754 and $25,727 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. 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 of 2-10 years.

 

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, 2013.

 

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, 2013 was $178,022. The rent expense under this lease for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $80,931. The Company also leases certain equipment under operating leases, as more fully described in Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies.

 

Segment Information

 

We have identified three reportable sales channels:  Direct, Wholesale and Other.  Direct includes product sales through our two 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. For the three months ending September 30, 2013, sales to Customer A accounted for 16% of our wholesale channel net sales.

 

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

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC, did not, or are not believed by management, to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

 

 

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. 

 

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:

 

   September 30,
   2013  2012
Common stock options   4,966,500    3,023,956 
Common stock warrants   2,462,393    2,462,393 
Convertible preferred stock   4,300,000    4,300,000 
Convertible notes   7,545,455    4,375,000 
 Total   19,274,348    14,161,349 

 

Income Taxes

 

We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. We recognize deferred tax liabilities or assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. We regularly assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. We consider projected future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies in assessing the amount of the valuation allowance necessary to offset our deferred tax assets that will not be recoverable. We have recorded and continue to carry a full valuation allowance against our gross deferred tax assets that will not reverse against deferred tax liabilities within the scheduled reversal period. If we determine in the future that it is more likely than not that we will realize all or a portion of our deferred tax assets, we will adjust our valuation allowance in the period we make the determination. We expect to provide a full valuation allowance on our future tax benefits until we can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates our ability to realize these assets.  

 

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. 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.

Stock Issued for Services to other than Employees

 

Common stock, stock options and common stock warrants issued to other than employees or directors are recorded on the basis of their fair value, as required by FASB ASC 505, which is measured as of the date required by FASB ASC 505, “Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees”. In accordance with FASB ASC 505, the stock options or common stock warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the market price of the underlying common stock on the “valuation date”, which for options and warrants related to contracts that have substantial disincentives to non-performance is the date of the contract, and for all other contracts is the vesting date. Expense related to the options and warrants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the vesting period. Where expense must be recognized prior to a valuation date, the expense is computed under the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the market price of the underlying common stock at the end of the period, and any subsequent changes in the market price of the underlying common stock up through the valuation date is reflected in the expense recorded in the subsequent period in which that change occurs.

 

 

NOTE 3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Options

 

At September 30, 2013, 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, 2013, the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan was 433,500.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activities during the three months ended September 30, 2013:

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 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 option-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are based on awards ultimately expected to vest, and is reduced for estimated forfeitures.

 

The following table summarizes stock option-based compensation expense by line item in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, all relating to the Plan:

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, 2013.

NOTE 8. LINE OF CREDIT

 

 On May 24, 2011, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, OneUp and OneUp’s wholly owned subsidiary, 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.  In addition there is a Monthly Service Fee (as defined in the agreement) of up to 1.25% per month.  

 

On September 4, 2013, the credit agreement with Advance Financial Corporation was amended and restated to increase the asset based line of credit to $1,000,000 to include an Inventory Advance (as defined in the amended and restated receivable financing agreement) of up to the lesser of $300,000 or 75% of the eligible accounts receivable loan. In addition, the amended and restated agreement changed the interest calculation to prime rate plus 3% (as of September 30, 2013, the interest rate was 6.25%) and the Monthly Service Fee was changed to .5% per month.

 

The Company’s CEO, Louis Friedman, has personally guaranteed the repayment of the facility.  In addition, Liberator has provided its corporate guarantee of the credit facility.  On September 30, 2013, the balance owed under this line of credit was $531,161.  On September 30, 2013, we were current and in compliance with all terms and conditions of this line of credit.

 

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 9. 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. On May 14, 2013, the loan was renewed for $400,000 and the remaining balance of $126,518 on the prior loan was repaid from the net proceeds of the renewal. At the time of the renewal, the Company had a balance of $14,400 in unamortized discount which was charged to interest expense during the fourth quarter. Terms of the renewal loan call for a repayment of $448,000, which includes a one-time finance charge of $48,000, approximately ten months after May 14, 2013. 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 majority shareholder, Louis S. Friedman. As of September 30, 2013, the principle amount is $249,388, net of a discount of $24,000.

 

 

NOTE 10. UNSECURED LINES OF CREDIT

 

The Company has drawn cash advances on two 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 18%. The aggregate amount owed on the two unsecured lines of credit was $7,906 at September 30, 2013 and $12,535 at June 30, 2013.

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.

  The following table represents percentage of net sales by product type:

   Three Months Ended

   September 30,

  September 30,
2012
Net Sales:      
Liberator   44%   46%
Jaxx   12%   11%
Resale   33%   36%
Other   11%   7%
             Total Net Sales   100%   100%

 

Liberator- Liberator products consist of items that are manufactured by us and are intended for sale in the sexual health and wellness market. Liberator products are sold to distributors and retailers as well as directly through our e-commerce sites and single retail store. Net sales of Liberator products decreased 2% during the three month period ended September 30, 2013 from the comparable year earlier period. This decrease is primarily related to lower sales of certain Liberator-branded role-play products.

 

Jaxx- Jaxx products are casual and contemporary furniture products manufactured by us and sold under the Jaxx brand. Jaxx products are sold to e-merchants and retailers as well as directly through our e-commerce site. Net sales increased 11% during the three month period ended September 30, 2013 compared to the prior year period and accounted for 12% of total net sales. This increase is primarily due to an increase in sales through our JaxxLiving website.

 

Resale- Resale products are non-Liberator branded products (including Tenga) that we purchase from others at wholesale or distributor prices and resell through our sales channels to retailers, distributors, or through one of our e-commerce sites and single retail store. Net sales of resale products decreased 4% during the three month period ending September 30, 2013 from the comparable prior year period and accounted for 33% of total net sales due to lower sales of non-Tenga products to certain customers. Sales of Tenga products accounted for approximately 23% and 21% in each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and approximately 16% and 15% of the gross profit in those same periods, respectively.

 

21


 
 

 

Other- Other products include sales from contract manufacturing and fulfillment services. Net sales of these products and services during the three month period ended September 30, 2013 increased 72% compared to the three month periods in the prior year and accounted for 11% of total net sales. This increase is due to an increase in the number of contract manufacturing projects and fulfillment contracts during fiscal year 2014 from the prior fiscal year. Contract manufacturing projects are typically short-term in nature and there can be no assurance that such projects will either continue or increase in future periods.

 

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2012

 

Net sales. The company achieved record net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2013 of $3,343,717, an increase from the comparable prior year period by $133,542, or 4%.  The increase in net sales was primarily due to higher sales in the Direct channel which was due to higher sales through Liberator.com and JaxxLiving.com. Sales through the Wholesale channel increased by 3% during the three months ended September 30, 2013 from the comparable year earlier period. The Wholesale channel 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 channel also includes contract manufacturing services, which consists of specialty items that are manufactured in small quantities for certain customers, and which, during the three months ended September 30, 2013, accounted for approximately 6% of net sales. The Other sales channel consists principally of shipping and handling fees derived from our Direct sales channel.  The Other sales channel decreased 39% to $134,322 in the three months ended September 30, 2013, primarily as a result of lower shipping and handling charges on sales through the Direct channel.  We expect Other revenue to continue to decline in future periods as “free” or reduced-cost shipping and handling becomes a growing trend in the e-commerce industry.

 

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 profit increased to $1,054,067 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $1,008,776 in the comparable prior year period (an increase of 4.4%) and primarily resulted from the increase in margin from both the Direct and Wholesale sales channels and was partially offset by an increase in negative gross profit from the Other channel.

 

Operating expenses. Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were 29.1% of net sales, or $973,336, compared to 28.6% of net sales, or $917,349, for the same period in the prior year.  The slight increase in operating expenses was primarily the result of increased selling and marketing expense. Other selling and marketing expense increased by $83,305, primarily as a result of higher co-op marketing fees and personnel related costs, offset in part by lower website-related expenses. Advertising and promotion expense decreased from $101,628 to $85,827 in the current year, as the Company purchased fewer internet and print advertisements during the current year quarter. General and administrative expense decreased by $25,558 from the prior year quarter, primarily as a result of lower investor relation costs and legal-related expenses.

 

Other income (expense). Other income (expense) during the first quarter increased from expense of ($84,948) in fiscal 2013 to expense of ($107,673) in fiscal 2014. Interest expense increased from $85,045 in the prior year first quarter to $107,735 in the current year quarter as a result of the higher average 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 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,
   2013  2012
   (Unaudited)
Cash flow data:      
Cash provided by operating activities  $33,485   $111,992 
Cash used in investing activities   (6,438)   (112,136)
Cash used in financing activities   (131,561)   (176,908)

    

As of September 30, 2013, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $293,346, compared to $317,368 in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2012.

 

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 from continuing operations primarily consists of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation, stock-based compensation, and the effect of changes in working capital. Net cash provided by operating activities was $33,485 in the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $111,992 in the three months ended September 30, 2012.  The primary reasons for the decrease in cash provided by operating activities is an increase in accrued compensation of $94,050, which was offset in part by a decrease in accounts receivable of $139,825.

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash used in investing activities in the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $6,438 and related to the purchase of incidental office and production equipment. Investing activities in the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $112,136 and was primarily attributable to the costs associated with the new e-commerce platform. The new e-commerce platform became operational on February 1, 2013.

 

Financing Activities

 

Cash used in financing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2013 of $131,561 was primarily attributable to the repayments of debt obligations, partially offset by borrowings under the line of credit.

 

Cash used in financing activities in 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.

 

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 had a net loss of $26,942 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and a net loss of $288,485 for the year ended June 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, we have an accumulated deficit of $8,074,627 and a working capital deficit of $1,220,429.

 

 

23


 
 

 

 

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 in the next twelve months continues a strategy for growth within our existing lines of business with an on-going focus on growing domestic sales. We estimate that the operational growth plans we have identified will require approximately $300,000 of funding, primarily for working capital. We expect to invest approximately $150,000 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 and related businesses.

 

We plan to finance the required $300,000 with a combination of anticipated cash flows from operations over the next twelve months as well as cash on hand and cash we are able to obtain through equity and debt financings.

 

Capital Resources

 

We do not currently have any material commitments for capital expenditures. We expect total capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal 2013 to be under $100,000 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, our computer network infrastructure or our production capabilities and capacity.

 

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, 2013, we had $531,161 outstanding on our accounts receivable and inventory line of credit, compared to an outstanding balance of $366,196 on our accounts receivable line of credit at June 30, 2013. On September 4, 2013, the credit agreement with Advance Financial Corporation was amended and restated to increase the asset based line of credit to $1,000,000 and include an Inventory Advance (as defined in the amended and restated receivable financing agreement) of up to the lesser of $300,000 or 75% of the eligible accounts receivable loan. In addition, the amended and restated agreement changed the interest calculation to prime rate plus 3% (as of September 30, 2013, the interest rate was 6.25%) and the Monthly Service Fee was changed to 0.5% per month.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

Reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012: 

 

   Three months ended September 30,
   2013  2012
Net income (loss)  $(26,942)  $6,479 
Less interest income   (62)   (97)
Plus interest expense   107,735    85,045 
Plus depreciation and amortization expense   57,849    43,808 
Plus stock-based compensation   24,327    10,574 
Adjusted EBITDA income  $162,907   $145,809 

  

As used herein, Adjusted EBITDA represents net 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 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.
