1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

Merger

On January 9, 2013, the Company, Be Active Acquisition Corp., the Company’s newly formed, wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary (“Acquisition Sub”) and Be Active Brands, Inc. (“Brands”), an entity incorporated in Delaware March 10, 2009 and based in New York, entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”). Upon closing of the transaction under the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”), Acquisition Sub merged with and into Brands, with Brands as the surviving corporation, and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. At the closing of the Merger an aggregate of 1,000 shares of Brands’ Class A common stock and 299.6 shares of Class B common stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger were converted into 29,502,750  shares of the Company’s common stock,  $0.0001 par value, per share. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, holders of the Class A and Class B common stock were treated equally as it relates to consideration paid in connection with the Merger.

Immediately following the closing of the Merger, under the terms of an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Assets and Assumption of Obligations, the Company transferred all of its pre-Merger assets and liabilities to another wholly owned subsidiary, Superlight Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SplitCo”).  Thereafter, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company transferred all of the outstanding capital stock of SplitCo to a former officer and director of Holdings in exchange for the cancellation of an aggregate of 90,304,397 shares of the Company’s common stock held by such person (the “Split-Off”), which left 20,851,336 shares of the Company’s common stock held by persons who were stockholders of the Company prior to the Merger and which constitute the Company’s “public float” prior to the Merger that will continue to represent the shares of the Company’s common stock eligible for resale without further registration by the holders thereof, until such time as the applicability of Rule 144 or other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the effectiveness of a further registration statement under the Securities Act, permits additional sales of issued shares.

The Merger is being accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization with Brands as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes and the Company as the acquired company.  Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the operations are reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the Merger are those of Brands and are recorded at the historical cost basis of Brands and the consolidated financial statements after completion of the Merger include the assets and liabilities of the Company and Brands, and the historical operations of the Company and Brands from the closing date of the Merger. The stockholders’ equity section has been retroactively restated for all periods presented to reflect the accounting effect of the reverse merger transaction.

The Company has sold frozen yogurt and fudge bars and offers ice creams in various flavors to retailers with stores in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida.  The Company intends to expand its regional growth to a national level and global presence in sales of premium quality low-fact, low calorie, low-carbohydrate, vitamin and probiotic enriched frozen yogurt and products under the brand name of Jala.

2. GOING CONCERN

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant net losses since inception and at September 30, 2013, has a working capital deficiency of $317,302, an accumulated deficit of $4,425,457 and stockholders’ deficit of $313,023  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating expenses until it become profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company through sales of its products in combination with equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its 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.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial statements and with the rules and regulations under Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for interim financial statements have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company together with the Company’s management discussion and analysis in Item 2 of this report and in the Company’s Form 10-K and Form 8-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2012. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly-owned subsidiary and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

BE ACTIVE HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
All references to common stock, share and per share amounts prior to the Merger have been retroactively restated to reflect the exchange ratio of 22,701:1 of common stock for each share of Brands stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger as if the exchange had taken place as of those dates.

Use of Estimates

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

Financial Instruments

The Company considers the carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and notes payable to approximate their fair values because of their relatively short maturities.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from customers. The Company records an allowance for doubtful receivables, if necessary, to allow for any amounts which may be unrecoverable. The allowance is based upon an analysis of the Company’s prior collection experience, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, no allowance for doubtful accounts was required.

Inventory

Inventory consists primarily of packaging, raw materials and finished goods held for distribution.  Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.  In evaluating whether inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, management considers such factors as the amount of inventory on hand and the distribution channel, the estimated time to sell such inventory, remaining shelf life and the current expected market conditions.  Adjustments to reduce inventory to its net realizable value are charged to cost of goods sold.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company classifies shipping and handling costs as part of selling expense.  Shipping and handling costs were $0 and $5,189 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, and $24,900 and $99,565 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

BE ACTIVE HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The Company maintains cash balances at several financial institutions.  The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.  Federal legislation provides for FDIC insurance of up to $250,000 at each financial institution.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as they are incurred. Improvements and betterments, which extend the lives of the assets, are capitalized. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets retired or otherwise disposed of are relieved from the appropriate accounts and any profit or loss on the sale or disposition of such assets is credited or charged to income.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized, net of discounts, rebates, promotional adjustments, price adjustments and estimated returns and upon transfer of title and risk to the customer which occurs at shipping (F.O.B. terms). Upon shipment, the Company has no further performance obligations.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, directors and others based on the estimated fair values on the date of the grant.  Common stock equivalents are valued using the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model using the known or equivalent market value of our common stock on the date of valuation, an expected dividend yield of zero, the remaining period or maturity date of the common stock equivalent and the expected volatility of our common stock.

Income (Loss) per Common Share

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted income (loss) per share is computed similar to basic income (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The effect of outstanding warrants and convertible stock for the periods presented in the Statements of Operations was anti-dilutive.

BE ACTIVE HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
All per share amounts prior to the Merger have been retroactively restated to reflect the exchange ratio of 22,701:1 of common stock for each share of Brands stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger as if the exchange had taken place as of those dates.

Income Taxes

The Company provides for income taxes under FASB ASC 740 – Income Taxes, which requires the use of an assets and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when realization of deferred tax assets is not considered likely.

The Company’s policy is to classify income tax assessments, if any, for interest in interest expense and for penalties in general and administrative expenses.

The Company’s income tax returns for the years from 2010 to 2012 are subject to examination by the tax authorities.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising was $0 and $4,644 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and $5,076 and $25,497 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

Recent Developments

On January 9, 2013, we entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Be Active Brands and Be Active Acquisition Corp., our newly formed, wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary (“Acquisition Sub”).

Immediately following the closing of the Merger and the Private Placement, under the terms of an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Assets and Assumption of Obligations, the Company transferred all of its pre-Merger assets and liabilities to its wholly owned subsidiary, Superlight Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SplitCo”). Thereafter, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company transferred all of the outstanding capital stock of SplitCo to a former officer and director of the Company in exchange for cancellation of an aggregate of 90,304,397 shares of the Company’s common stock held by such person.

On April 25, 2013, the Company entered into subscription agreements (the “April Agreements”) with certain accredited investors (the “April Investors”) whereby it sold an aggregate of 28,333,334 units (the “April Units”) with gross proceeds to the Company of $850,000 (the “April Private Placement”), less $150,000 of offering costs. The offering costs include 2,083,334 Units valued at $62,500 for legal fees. Each April Unit was sold for a purchase price of $0.03 per unit and consisted of: (i) one share of the Company’s Common Stock (or at the election of the April Investor who would, as a result of the purchase of the April Units, hold in excess of 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock, one share of the Company’s newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), which is convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock on a one for one basis) and (ii) a five-year warrant (the “April Warrants”) to purchase an additional share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events such as lower priced issuances, stock splits and dividends.. In connection with the April Private Placement, the Company granted the April Investors demand registration rights, commencing 30 days after the closing of the April Private Placement and ending one year after the closing of the April Private Placement, pursuant to which April Investors holding at least 50% of the outstanding securities sold in the April Private Placement may request, on 60 days’ notice, the filing of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, covering the resale of securities underlying the April Units. Additionally, the Company granted the April Investors “piggy-back” registration rights for a period of 180 days beginning on the closing date of the April Private Placement. On July 2, 2013 the Registrations Rights Agreement was further amended to extend the filing date from 180 days to 240 days after the closing date. On September 25, 2013, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 to register an aggregate of 158,652,485 shares of the Company’s common stock.

In connection with the sale of the April Units, the Company was required to issue to the investors in the January Private Placement additional shares of Common Stock (or, at the election of such investor in the January Private Placement who would, as a result of such issuance, become the holder of in excess of 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock, shares of Series A Preferred Stock), in connection with certain anti-dilution protection provided to such investors under the terms of the January Private Placement.

In connection with the April Private Placement, management determined that it was in the best interest of its shareholders to issue additional shares of Common Stock to certain of the original investors of Be Active Brands, who, as a result of the Merger, became shareholders of the Company. As a result, the Company issued an aggregate of 23,054,778 shares of Common Stock to certain of the former shareholders of Be Active as a result of the significant dilution such shareholders experienced as a result of the April Private Placement. In consideration for such issuance, the shareholders released the Company from actions relating to the Company’s reverse merger and various financings as well as from any rights under that certain Agreement of Shareholders of Be Active Brands, Inc. dated as of January 26, 2011.

Additionally, on April 26, 2013, the Company designated four  (4) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and issued one share of Series B Preferred Stock to each of the Company’s three members of management, to wit: Saverio Pugliese, David Wolfson and Joseph Rienzi. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to such number of votes on all matters submitted to shareholders that is equal to (i) the product of (a) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder, (b) the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock (taking into account the effective outstanding voting rights of the Series B Preferred Stock), as of the record date for the vote and (c) 0.13334 less (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially held by such holder on such date. Additionally, on the six month anniversary date of the date of issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock shall automatically, and without further action on the part of the holder, convert into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as shall cause the holder to own, along with any other securities of the Company beneficially owned on the conversation date by them, 13.334% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company, calculated on the conversion date. On October 25, 2013 the Company amended and restated the Certificate of Designation for the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to extend the date on which the Series B Shares would automatically convert into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, from the date six months from the date of issuance (October 26, 2013) to the twelfth month anniversary of the date of issuance of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock (April 26, 2014).   In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded $132,961 and $1,060,245 as stock-based compensation, respectively, for the three shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock based on the current estimate of approximately 35,341,508 shares of common stock of the Company to be issued upon conversion.

The decrease in gross sales of $237,095, approximately 86%, was primarily due to the lack of capital necessary for marketing and production. In addition, the Company has been focusing on new labeling and packaging of its products.

Reconciling items that included sales discounts, returns and allowances, trade spending, and slotting fees totaled $3,126 and $41,064 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2013 decreased $34,818 or 85% as compared to net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2012 of $233,975.

Loss per Common Share
Basic loss per share for the three month periods ending September 30, 2013 and 2012 is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period after giving retroactive effect in 2012 to the shares issued in January 2013 to the stockholders of Be Active Brands upon consummation of the merger. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each period. Fully diluted EPS is not provided when the effect is anti-dilutive. When the effect of dilution on loss per share is anti-dilutive, diluted loss per share equals the loss per share.

On October 25, 2013, the Company entered into a Term Sheet with a capital investor whereby the Company has the right to issue up to $5,000,000 of the Company’s common stock to the investor over a term of three years in exchange for cash advances to the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company may issue common stock valued at $250,000 for each advance using 90% of the market price of the average of the three lowest best closing prices of the stock during the fifteen consecutive weekday trading days immediately after the date on which the Company provides an advance notice, as defined. The advance is not to exceed more than 350% of the average daily trading volume for a previous 15 day period.  The maximum advance amount may be increased upon consent of the Company and the investor. Upon execution of the Term Sheet on October 31, 2013, the Company has paid the investor $30,000 of the Company’s restricted common stock (1,056,338 shares at $0.0284 per share),  priced off of the closing bid price the day before the Term Sheet was signed.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, including unrecorded derivative instruments that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. We have certain warrants and options outstanding but we do not expect to receive sufficient proceeds from the exercise of these instruments unless and until the trading price of our common stock is significantly greater than the applicable exercise prices of the options and warrants and mainly following any necessary registering of underlying securities.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not Applicable.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our President and Chief Financial Officer of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, or officers performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Our internal control over financial reporting is not effective based on those criteria due to the following:

There is a lack of proper segregation of functions, duties and responsibilities with respect to our cash and control over the related disbursements due to our limited staff and accounting personnel.  Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties due to the small number of employees dealing with administrative and financial matters.  Since an officer of the Company is a partner with an accounting firm which provides support services to the Company, in the future, management intends to continue to utilize additional staff of the accounting firm to handle certain administrative financial duties.

There is a lack of effective controls over financial statement disclosure.  Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in the financial statements.  Management is working to ensure that all permanent file documents are maintained in a working file which becomes an essential component of the financial closing process.

There is a lack of controls over the control environment in that the Board of Directors is comprised of three members who are officers of the Company.  As of yet, there are no independent members, no formal audit committee and no compensation committee.  As the Company matures, management will expand the Board of Directors accordingly.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
