These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X.

The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill and other acquired intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually and when an event occurs or circumstances change such that it is more likely than not that an impairment may exist. Our annual testing date is December 31. We test goodwill for impairment by first comparing the carrying value of net assets to the fair value of the related operations. If the fair value is determined to be less than carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment. In this process, a fair value for goodwill is estimated, based in part on the fair value of the operations, and is compared to its carrying value. The shortfall of the fair value below carrying value represents the amount of goodwill impairment. Intangibles consist of brand and trade names acquired in business combinations. We test these intangibles for impairment by comparing their carrying value to current projections of discounted cash flows attributable to the brand and trade names. Any excess carrying value over the amount of discounted cash flows represents the amount of the impairment.

 

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 to various customers when all performance obligations are met and collectability is reasonably assured revenue is recognized. Upon shipment to specific customers with the right of return the Company defers revenues as returns are not reasonably estimable.   As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, deferred revenue totaled $756,922 and $1,269,470, respectively.

 

Deferred Revenue and Deferred Cost of Goods Sold

 

Deferred revenue consists substantially of amounts billed or payments received in advance of revenue recognition. Deferred cost of goods sold as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 of $338,054 and $569,036, respectively, related to deferred product revenues includes direct product costs. Once all revenue recognition criteria have been met, the deferred revenues and associated cost of goods sold are recognized.

  

Income Taxes

 

The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expenses are expected to be settled in the Company’s income tax return. Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued

 

Loss Per Common Share

 

Net loss per share, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Common Stock equivalents have not been included in this computation since the effect would be anti-dilutive. During a loss period, the effect of the potential exercise of stock options, warrants, convertible preferred stock and convertible debt are not considered in the diluted income (loss) per share calculation since the effect would be anti-dilutive.

     

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

For financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, debt, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying values approximated their fair value.

 

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial statement. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

 

2 . GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY ISSUES

 

The Company’s future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities, and upon additional financing.  Management believes they can raise the appropriate funds needed to support their business plan and develop an operating company which is cash flow positive.

 

However, the Company has a working capital deficit, significant debt outstanding, incurred substantial net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and has accumulated a deficit of approximately $95 million at September 30, 2014. The Company has not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund its ongoing operations. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support its operations.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

3. CONCENTRATIONS OF BUSINESS AND CREDIT RISK

 

The Company maintains cash balances in several financial institutions which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to certain federal limitations.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

During the third quarter, the Company was not able to make the payment that was due July 1, 2014 to Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia pursuant to our license agreement. While we are in discussions to work out terms of payment, we most likely will need to raise additional funds to meet our obligations under the license agreement.

 

On October 27, 2014, Inergetics, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a convertible debenture in the principal amount of $165,000 (the “Debenture”) to Macallan Partners, LLC (“Macallan”) pursuant to which it borrowed $150,000. The additional $15,000 represents original issue discount.

 

Principal is due and payable under the Debenture on October 30, 2015. At the option of the Company, the principal may be prepaid before the due date at a premium of 130% (the “Prepayment Penalty”). Upon the occurrence of an “Events of Default” (as such term is defined in the Debenture), Macallan (including hereinafter, any subsequent holder of the Debenture) has the right to accelerate payment of all unpaid principal and interest and any applicable Prepayment Penalty. Interest on the foregoing shall be the lesser of 18% per annum or the highest legal rate.

 

At any time after six months from the date the Debenture was issued, at the option of Macallan, principal and accrued interest is convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price (the “Conversion Price”) equal to the lower of: 55% of the lowest traded price during the 15 trading days prior to the election to convert or 55% of the bid price on the date of the election to convert. If conversion shares are not deliverable by DWAC, then an additional 5% discount will apply to the conversion price. If the shares are ineligible for deposit into the DTC system for any reason and only eligible for “X clearing” then an additional 10% discount will apply to the conversion price. If the Company’s common stock price closes below 0.005 at any time while the Debenture is outstanding then an additional 15% discount will apply to the conversion price. However, if the Company’s common stock price at any time loses “the bid” (e.g., .0001 on “the ask” with zero market makers on the bid as per level 2 quotations), then the conversion price may, in the Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, be reduced to a fixed price equal to par value.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2014, the 31 Group LLC converted $184,979 of principal and interest into 14,164,787 common shares.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Cautionary Statement Pursuant To "Safe Harbor" Provisions

Of Section 21e Of The Securities Exchange Act Of 1934

 

Except for historical information, the Company's reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q and periodic press releases, as well as other public documents and statements, contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the statements. These risks and uncertainties include general economic and business conditions, development and market acceptance of the Company's products, current dependence on the willingness of investors to continue to fund operations of the Company and other risks and uncertainties identified in the risk factors discussed below and in the Company's other reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission, periodic press releases, or other public documents or statements.

 

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to republish or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrences of unanticipated events.

 

Results of Operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2013:

 

Total revenues generated from the sales of Surgex™, Bikini Ready®, SlimTrim™ and Martha Stewart Essentials™ for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 totaled $430,242 an increase of 112% from the quarter ended September 30, 2013 which totaled $203,348. The primary reason for the increase was due to the Company’s distribution of Martha Stewart Essentials and the newly formulated Surgex brand along with the introduction of Bikini Ready and SlimTrim to the retailers during the quarter ended September 30, 2014. The introduction of these brands continues to show growth into the fourth quarter of 2014.

 

At this stage in the Company’s development, revenues are not yet sufficient to cover ongoing operating expenses.

 

Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $70,075 for a 16% gross margin. Gross profit increased $94,844 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 compared to a negative gross margin of $24,769 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.  The increase in gross profit is a result of higher sales in the quarter ended September 30, 2014.

 

After research and development cost and selling, general and administrative expenses of $1,304,661, the Company realized an operating loss of $1,234,586 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.  Operating losses of $1,234,586 decreased $1,005,567 or 45% as compared to the third quarter of 2013 operating loss of $2,240,153.  The majority of the decrease was due to the decrease in promotion for the launch of the Martha Stewart line from the prior year in the approximate amount of $843,000.

 

Non-operating expense totaled $3,182,257 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 an increase of $2,740,239 as compared to an expense of $442,018 for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.  The increase in non-operating expense of $2,740,239 was due to the decrease in accretion of debt discount in the amount of $113,944 and an increase in loss associated with the fair value of the derivative instruments issued with the convertible debt in the amount of $1,196,000. There was a loss of $2,043,000 from equity instruments issued with debt greater than debt carrying amount. There was an decrease in interest expense of $384,817 due to an over accrual.

 

The net result for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was a loss of $4,877,623 or $0.05 per share which included a preferred dividend on the Series G stock in the amount of $459,280, compared to a loss of $3,058,571 or $0.05 per share for the third quarter of 2013. The net loss for the third quarter of 2014 increased by $1,819,052 or 59% as compared to the third quarter of 2013, primarily due to an decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses and gain on fair valuation of derivatives. Management will continue to make an effort to lower operating expenses and increase revenue.  The Company will continue to invest in further expanding its operations and a comprehensive marketing campaign with the goal of accelerating the education of potential clients and promoting the name and products of the Company. Given the fact that most of the operating expenses are fixed or have quasi-fixed character management expects them to significantly decrease as a percentage of revenues as revenues increase.

 

 

Results of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013:

 

Total revenues generated from the sales of Surgex™, Bikini Ready®, SlimTrim™ and Martha Stewart Essentials™ for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 totaled $1,433,659 an increase of 518% from the nine months ended September 30, 2013 which totaled $276,790. The primary reason for the increase was due to the Company’s distribution of Martha Stewart Essentials and the newly formulated Surgex brand along with the introduction of Bikini Ready and SlimTrim to the retailers during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The introduction of these brands continues to show growth into the fourth quarter of 2014.

 

At this stage in the Company’s development, revenues are not yet sufficient to cover ongoing operating expenses.

 

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $400,452 for a 28% gross margin. Gross profit increased $407,024 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to a negative gross margin of $6,572 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The increase in gross profit is a result of higher sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

After research and development cost and selling, general and administrative expenses of $6,013,821, the Company realized an operating loss of $5,613,369 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  Operating losses of $5,613,369 increased $1,132,730 or 25% as compared to the first nine months of 2013 operating loss of $4,480,639.  The majority of the increase was due to the increase in promotion and royalty for the launch of the various products into the retail channel in the approximate amount of $572,000.  Additional employees were hired to support the infrastructure of the business in addition to stock awards in the approximate amount of $1,108,000.   There was a reduction in professional fees in the approximate amount of $274,000.

 

Non-operating expenses totaled $4,573,222 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 an increase of 542% or $3,860,741 as compared to $712,481 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The increase in non-operating expenses of $3,860,741 was due to the decrease in accretion of debt discount in the amount of $27,073 and an increase in loss associated with the fair value of the derivative instruments issued with the convertible debt in the amount of $1,632,000. There was a loss of $2,043,000 from equity instruments issued with debt greater than debt carrying amount. There was an increase in interest expense of $184,214 due to more debt outstanding. There was a decrease in the gain on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $28,600 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

The net loss for the nine months of 2014 increased by $4,909,915 or 78% as compared to the nine months of 2013, primarily due to an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses and accretion of debt discount, increase loss of derivatives and increased interest expense due to additional debt outstanding. Management will continue to make an effort to lower operating expenses and increase revenue.  The Company will continue to invest in further expanding its operations and a comprehensive marketing campaign with the goal of accelerating the education of potential clients and promoting the name and products of the Company. Given the fact that most of the operating expenses are fixed or have quasi-fixed character management expects them to significantly decrease as a percentage of revenues as revenues increase.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section discusses our consolidated condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this report.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s future success is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations and generate cash from operating activities, and upon additional financing.  Management believes they can raise the appropriate funds needed to support their business plan and develop an operating, cash flow positive company. The Company has been operating with negative cash flows for the past 13 years.

 

The Company incurred substantial net losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2014 and has accumulated a deficit of $94,925,093 at September 30, 2014. The Company has not been able to generate sufficient cash from operating activities to fund its ongoing operations. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to generate enough revenue and/or raise capital to support its operations.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has never reported Net Income.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded assets and liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s business operations generally have been financed by debt investments through promissory notes with accredited investors.  During the nine months of 2014, the Company obtained new debt from the issuance of promissory notes that supplied the funds that were needed to finance operations during the reporting period. The new issuance of debt requires conversion of existing debt which may not be able to convert on favorable terms. Such new borrowings resulted in the receipt by the Company of $2,545,030.  While these funds sufficed to compensate for the negative cash flow from operations they were not sufficient to build up a liquidity reserve.  As a result, the Company’s financial position at the end of the reporting period showed a working capital deficit of $13,989,032.  During the first nine months of 2014 the Company obtained new financing sufficient to fund ongoing working capital requirements.  We need to continue to raise funds to cover working capital requirements until we are able to raise revenues to a point of positive cash flow.

 

The Company entered into a license agreement with minimum royalty payments totaling $1,800,000, $2,100,000, $2,700,000, $3,200,000 and $3,800,000 for each of the years ended 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively. $1,350,000 was paid as of September 30, 2014. Total royalties due through September 30, 2014 of $1,350,000 are to be paid quarterly on the first day of the quarter commencing April 1, 2014.

 

 

During the third quarter, the Company was not able to make the payment that was due July 1, 2014 to Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia pursuant to our license agreement. While we are in discussions to work out terms of payment, we most likely will need to raise additional funds to meet our obligations under the license agreement.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

 

Management of the Company has evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
