LIBERATOR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015 AND MARCH 31, 2014 (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., a Georgia corporation (“OneUp”), and Foam Labs, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“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 and nine months ended March 31, 2015, sales to and through Amazon accounted for 24.7% and 25.1% of our total sales, respectively. 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 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 nine months ended March 31, 2015 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, 2014.

 

Going Concern - The accompanying condensed consolidated 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 March 31, 2015, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $8,476,622 and a working capital deficit of $1,443,534. 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 Direct sales. We estimate that the operational growth plans we have identified will require approximately $250,000 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 $250,000 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 NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015 AND MARCH 31, 2014 (UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These condensed 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 condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated 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, 2014 filed on September 29, 2014.

 

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.

 

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 March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014.

 

   March 31,
2015
  June 30,
2014
Accounts receivable  $905,354   $634,553 
Allowance for doubtful accounts   (17,180)   (9,076)
Allowance for discounts and returns   (26,449)   (9,733)
Total accounts receivable, net  $861,725   $615,744

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015 AND MARCH 31, 2014 (UNAUDITED)

 

 

Inventories and Inventory Reserves

 

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

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

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 March 31, 2015 that exceeded the balance insured by the FDIC by $210,502.  Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers primarily located in North America and Europe.

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2015, we purchased 33% and 18% of total inventory purchases from two vendors.

 

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, we purchased 30% and 19% of total inventory purchases from two vendors.

 

As of March 31, 2015, one of the Company’s customers represents 38% of the total accounts receivable and another customer represents 9% of the total accounts receivable.

 

Fair Value of Financial and Derivative Instruments

 

At March 31, 2015, our financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other short-term debt.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015 AND MARCH 31, 2014 (UNAUDITED)

 

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 $23,079 at March 31, 2015 and $35,516 at June 30, 2014. Advertising expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $95,164 and $100,885, respectively. Advertising expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $303,736 and $313,512, respectively.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses for new products are expensed as they are incurred. Expenses for new product development totaled $27,543 and $26,003 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Expenses for new product development totaled $85,118 and $76,715 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, 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 March 31, 2015.

Operating Leases

 

On July 23, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with its landlord to extend the facilities lease by five years. The previous ten year lease was to expire on December 31, 2015. The agreement amends the lease to expire on December 31, 2020. The lease amendment is effective August 1, 2014 and includes a four month rental abatement in the amount of $117,660. In exchange for the rental abatement, the Company has agreed to make improvements to the facility totaling $123,505 within six months of August 1, 2014. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has completed $57,722 of the leasehold improvements. In addition, the monthly rent on the facility decreases from the current rent of $33,139 to $29,415 per month, beginning on December 1, 2014. Beginning January 1, 2015, the monthly rent is on an escalating schedule with the final year of the lease at $35,123 per month. The rent expense under this lease for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $261,963 and $242,792, respectively.

 

The Company also leases certain equipment under operating leases, as more fully described in Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies.

 

Segment Information

 

We have identified three reportable sales channels:  Direct, Wholesale and Other.  Direct includes product sales through our four e-commerce sites and our single retail store.

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 and nine months ended March 31, 2015, sales to and through Amazon accounted for 24.7% and 25.1% of our total sales, respectively.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, “Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”, is to simplify presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The ASU does not affect the recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. For public companies, the ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

In April 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-04, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer’s Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets”, permits the entity to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations using the month-end that is closest to the entity’s fiscal year-end and apply that practical expedient consistently from year to year. The ASU is effective for public business entities for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

In April 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-05, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement”, provides guidance to customers about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If such an arrangement includes a software license, then the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If the arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for it as a service contract. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early application is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

In April 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-06, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260): Effects on Historical Earnings per Unit of Master Limited Partnership Dropdown Transactions”, specifies that, for purposes of calculating historical earnings per unit under the two-class method, the earnings (losses) of a transferred business before the date of a drop down transaction should be allocated entirely to the general partner. In that circumstance, the previously reported earnings per unit of the limited partners (which is typically the earnings per unit measure presented in the financial statements) would not change as a result of the dropdown transaction. Qualitative disclosures about how the rights to the earnings (losses) differ before and after the dropdown transaction occurs for purposes of computing earnings per unit under the two-class method also are required. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) – Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”.  Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued).

 

All other newly issued accounting pronouncements, but not yet effective, have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

Net Loss Per Share

 

In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 260 (“FASB ASC 260”), “Earnings Per Share”, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares outstanding as of March 31, 2015 and 2014, which consist of options, warrants, convertible notes and convertible preferred stock, have been excluded from the diluted net loss per common share calculations because they are anti-dilutive.

 

The following potentially issuable common shares were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because they would have an anti-dilutive:

   March 31,
   2015  2014
Common stock options   4,074,500    4,758,500 
Common stock warrants   —      2,462,393 
Convertible preferred stock   4,300,000    4,300,000 
Convertible notes   —      7,545,455 
 Total   8,374,500    19,066,348 

 

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

 

Stock 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 March 31, 2015, 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 March 31, 2015, the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan was 1,325,500.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2015:

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 nine months ended March 31, 2015.

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 was 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 was 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 were charged interest at a rate of 2.5% over the lenders Index Rate.  In addition there was 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 March 31, 2015, 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 (see Note 12).  On March 31, 2015, the balance owed under this line of credit was $814,713.  On March 31, 2015, 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 May 23, 2014, 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 $460,000, which includes a one-time finance charge of $60,000, approximately ten months after the funding date. This will be accomplished by Credit Cash withholding a fixed amount each business day of $2,123 from OneUp’s credit card receipts until full repayment is made. This loan is guaranteed by the Company and is personally guaranteed by the Company’s CEO and controlling shareholder, Louis S. Friedman (see Note 12). As of March 31, 2015, the loan had been repaid in full. See Note 14 – Subsequent Events.

In the event the Company fails to make a monthly payment under the Note or the Company is subject to an bankruptcy event (as defined under the Note), subject to the Company’s ability to cure such default, HCI may convert all or any portion of the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and any other sums due and payable under the Note into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.10 per share. Conversion is subject to HCI not being able to beneficially own more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock upon any conversion, subject to waiver by HCI. The Company has the right to prepay the Note, in whole or in part, subject to notice to HCI, without penalty. As of March 31, 2015 the principal balance under this term note was $653,778.

NOTE 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Operating Leases

 

On July 23, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with its landlord to extend the facilities lease by five years. The previous ten year lease was to expire on December 31, 2015. The agreement amends the lease to expire on December 31, 2020. The lease amendment is effective August 1, 2014 and includes a four month rental abatement in the amount of $117,660. In exchange for the rental abatement, the Company has agreed to make improvements to the facility totaling $123,505 within six months of August 1, 2014. In addition, the monthly rent on the facility decreases from the current rent of $33,139 to $29,415 per month, beginning on December 1, 2014. Beginning January 1, 2015, the monthly rent is on an escalating schedule with the final year of the lease at $35,123 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 March 31, 2015 was $234,070 and $144,040 at March 31, 2014. The rent expense under this lease for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $261,963 and $242,792, respectively.

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. Total dollar sales of Liberator products increased 5% during the three month period ended March 31, 2015 from the comparable year earlier period and increased approximately 7% for the nine month period ended March 31, 2015 from the same period in the prior year. This increase during the nine months is primarily related to higher sales of Liberator retail products and products in our Décor line. As a result of our Eco-compression packaging, shipping costs paid by the consumer (or the Company) are significantly reduced which allows us to reduce the final cost to the ultimate consumer. Making the product more affordable to more consumers should lead to increased sales volume.

 

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 dollar sales of Jaxx products increased 7% during the three month period ended March 31, 2015 compared to the prior year period and accounted for 13% of total net sales. This increase is primarily due to an increase in sales to certain wholesale customers. Net sales of Jaxx products increased 8% during the nine month period ended March 31, 2015 compared to the prior year period and accounted for 15% of total net sales. This increase is primarily due to an increase in sales to certain wholesale customers.

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 increased 14% during the three month period ending March 31, 2015 from the comparable prior year period and accounted for 33% of total net sales due to higher sales of Tenga and non-Tenga products to certain wholesale customers. Sales of Tenga products accounted for approximately 21% of total net sales in the three month period ended March 31, 2015 and in the three month period ended March 31, 2014, and approximately 21% and 14% of the gross profit in each of those same respective periods. Net sales of resale products increased 17% during the nine month period ended March 31, 2015 from the comparable prior year period and accounted for 34% of total net sales due to higher sales of non-Tenga products to certain customers. Sales of Tenga products accounted for approximately 22% and 20% of net sales in each of the nine month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and approximately 16% of the gross profit in each of those same periods.

 

Other- Other products include sales from contract manufacturing and fulfillment services. Net sales of these products and services during the three month period ended March 31, 2015 increased 11% compared to the three month periods in the prior year and accounted for 3% of total net sales. Net sales of these products and services during the nine month period ended March 31, 2015 decreased 47% compared to the nine month period in the prior year and accounted for 4% of total net sales. This decrease is due to a decrease in the number of contract manufacturing projects, fulfillment contracts, and shipping and handling revenue on consumer orders during fiscal year 2015 from the prior fiscal year.

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2014

 

Net sales. The Company achieved third quarter sales for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $4,270,871, an increase from the comparable prior year period by $321,232, or 8%.  The increase in net sales was primarily due to higher sales to the Wholesale channel which was due to higher sales of Liberator products, Jaxx products and resale products. The Wholesale channel includes Liberator branded products sold to retailers, e-merchants (including Amazon and Brookstone), non-Liberator products sold to retailers and e-merchants, and private label items sold to other resellers. Sales through the Direct channel (which includes product sales through our four e-commerce sites and our single retail store) decreased 4% during the three months ended March 31, 2015 from the comparable prior year period. Total sales of Liberator products through all channels during the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased 5% from the comparable prior year period. As more mass merchants become comfortable selling Liberator products to their customers, we expect to see a continued decrease in net sales through our Direct channel and a corresponding increase in Liberator sales through the Wholesale channel. As a result, we expect to see total net sales increase as a result of our products having greater exposure to the mass market consumer. The Other sales channel consists principally of shipping and handling fees derived from our Direct sales channel.  The Other sales channel revenue increased 1% to $145,811 in the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily as a result of higher shipping and handling charges on sales through the Direct channel.  The general trend in the Other sales channel has been a decline and we expect that trend to continue in future periods as “free” or reduced-cost shipping and handling continues to be the 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.  Despite higher net sales, gross profit decreased slightly to $920,458 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $946,043 in the comparable prior year period (a decrease of 3%) and primarily resulted from higher production costs and increased sales through the lower margin Wholesale channel.

 

Operating expenses. Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were 22.7% of net sales, or $972,433, compared to 24% of net sales, or $946,181, for the same period in the prior year.  The slight increase in operating expenses was primarily the result of higher insurance expense during the period.

 

Other income (expense). Other income (expense) during the third quarter increased from expense of ($104,261) in fiscal 2014 to expense of ($114,208) during the third quarter of fiscal 2015. The increase was primarily due to a loss on disposal of assets of $8, 910.

Nine Months Ended March 31, 2015 Compared to Nine Months Ended March 31, 2014

Net sales. Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 increased from the comparable prior year period by $706,268, or 6%.  The increase in net sales was primarily due to higher sales in the Wholesale channel, offset by lower sales through the Direct and Other channels. Net sales through the Direct channel decreased by 12%, or $550,093 during the nine months ended March 31, 2015, from the comparable year earlier period. Net sales through the Wholesale channel (which consists principally of e-merchants, retailers and distributors) increased by 21%, or $1,312,314, compared to the prior year. The increased sales through the Wholesale channel was due to greater sales of Liberator and Jaxx products to e-merchants including Amazon and Brookstone.

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.  Total gross profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 decreased slightly to $3,083,481 from $3,121,942 (a decrease of 1%) in the comparable prior year period. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased to 25.4% for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 from 27.3% in the comparable prior year period. This decrease is a result of the shift in net sales from the Direct channel to the Wholesale channel.

Operating expenses. Total operating expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 were 23.2% of net sales, or $2,823,414, compared to 25% of net sales, or $2,854,817, for the same period in the prior year and represents a decrease of approximately 1%.  The decrease in operating expenses was primarily the result of lower sales and marketing costs offset by higher insurance related costs included in general and administrative.

Other income (expense). Other income (expense) increased slightly from an expense of ($303,216) in fiscal 2014 to an expense of ($312,948) in fiscal 2015.   Interest expense was essentially unchanged from the prior year nine month period.

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:      
   Nine Months Ended

Cash (used in) provided by financing activities  $(542,100)  $42,030 

    

As of March 31, 2015, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $493,272, compared to $634,970 in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2014.

 

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 income 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 $486,546 in the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $221,205 in the nine months ended March 31, 2014.  The primary reason for the increase in cash provided by operating activities is an increase in accounts payable of $295,419 and deferred rent payable of $139,577 offset in part by an increase in accounts receivable of $254,084.

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2015 was $43,675 and related to the purchase of leasehold improvements and incidental office and production equipment.

 

Financing Activities

 

Cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2015 of $542,100 was primarily attributable to the repayment of debt obligations, offset in part by an increase in net borrowing under the line of credit.

 

Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2014 of $42,030 was primarily attributable to an increase in borrowings under the line of credit and short-term notes payable, offset in part by repayment of the credit card advance.

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 $52,881 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and a net loss of $376,056 for the year ended June 30, 2014. As of March 31, 2015, we have an accumulated deficit of $8,476,622 and a working capital deficit of $1,443,534.

 

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 $250,000 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 $250,000 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. We cannot provide any assurances that required financing will be obtained or that terms of such required financings will be on reasonable terms to our company.

Capital Resources

 

We do not currently have any material commitments for capital expenditures. We expect total capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal 2015 to be under $50,000 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 March 31, 2015, we had $814,713 outstanding on our accounts receivable and inventory line of credit, compared to an outstanding balance of $698,258 on our accounts receivable line of credit at June 30, 2014. 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 March 31, 2015, 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 nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014: 

 

   Nine months ended March 31,
   2015  2014
Net loss  $(52,881)  $(36,091)
Less interest income   (317)   (382)
Plus interest expense   304,355    303,598 
Plus depreciation and amortization expense   161,689    174,762 
Plus stock-based compensation   31,888    47,752 
Adjusted EBITDA income  $444,734   $489,639

As used herein, Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, amortization of debt issuance costs and stock-based compensation expense. We have excluded the non-operating item, amortization of debt issuance costs, because it represents a non-cash charge that is not related to the Company’s operations. We have excluded the non-cash expense, stock-based compensation, as it does not reflect the cash-based operations of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which is not required by or defined under GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). The presentation of this financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial measures prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, including the net income 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.

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.
