NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Organization

Twinlab Consolidated Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”, “Twinlab,” “we,” “our” and “us”) was incorporated on October 24, 2013 under the laws of the State of Nevada as Mirror Me, Inc. On August 7, 2014, we amended our articles of incorporation and changed our name to Twinlab Consolidated Holdings, Inc.

 

Nature of Operations

We are an integrated manufacturer, marketer, distributor and retailer of branded nutritional supplements and other natural products sold to and through domestic health and natural food stores, mass market retailers, specialty stores retailers, on-line retailers and websites. Internationally, we market and distribute branded nutritional supplements and other natural products to and through health and natural product distributors and retailers.  

Our products include vitamins, minerals, specialty supplements and sports nutrition products sold under the Twinlab® brand name (including the Twinlab® Fuel brand of sports nutrition products); a market leader in the healthy aging and beauty from within categories sold under the Reserveage™ Nutrition and ResVitale® brand names; diet and energy products sold under the Metabolife® brand name; the Re-Body® brand name; and a full line of herbal teas sold under the Alvita® brand name. To accommodate consumer preferences, our products come in various formulations and delivery forms, including capsules, tablets, softgels, chewables, liquids, sprays, powders and whole herbs. These products are sold primarily through health and natural food stores and on-line retailers, supermarkets, and mass-market retailers.

 

We also perform contract manufacturing services for private label products.  Our contract manufacturing business involves the manufacture of custom products to the specifications of a customer who requires finished product under the customer’s own brand name.  We do not market these private label products as our business is to manufacture and sell the products to the customer, who then markets and sells the products to retailers or end consumers.

 

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Basis of Presentation and Unaudited Information

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained herein. Financial results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of financial results that may be expected for the fiscal year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2017.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant management estimates include those with respect to returns and allowances, allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves for inventory obsolescence, the recoverability of long-lived assets, intangibles and goodwill and the estimated value of warrants and derivative liabilities.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from product sales, net of estimated returns and allowances, is recognized when evidence of an arrangement is in place, related prices are fixed and determinable, contractual obligations have been satisfied, title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Shipping terms are generally freight on board shipping point. We sell predominately in the North American and European markets, with international sales transacted in U.S. dollars.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We apply the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

 

Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 – inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 – inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the underlying asset or liability.

 

The following table summarizes our financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

Accounts Receivable and Allowances

We grant credit to customers and generally do not require collateral or other security. We perform credit evaluations of our customers and provide for expected claims related to promotional items; customer discounts; shipping shortages; damages; and doubtful accounts based upon historical bad debt and claims experience. As of June 30, 2017, total allowances amounted to $1,602, of which $296 was related to doubtful accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2016, total allowances amounted to $2,365, of which $481 was related to doubtful accounts receivable.

 

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and are reduced by an estimated reserve for obsolete inventory.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation, including amounts amortized under capital leases, is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which are 7 to 10 years for machinery and equipment, 8 years for furniture and fixtures and 3 years for computers. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the term of the lease.

  

Normal repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation or amortization is removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in the results of operations.

 

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist primarily of trademarks and customer relationships, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 30 years. The valuation and classification of these assets and the assignment of amortizable lives involve significant judgment and the use of estimates.

 

 
6

 

 

We believe that our long-term growth strategy supports our fair value conclusions. For intangible assets, the recoverability of these amounts is dependent upon achievement of our projections and the execution of key initiatives related to revenue growth and improved profitability.

 

Goodwill

Goodwill is not subject to amortization, but is reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. An impairment charge would be recorded to the extent the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value. The testing of goodwill under established guidelines for impairment requires significant use of judgment and assumptions. Changes in forecasted operations and other assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair values. Changes in business conditions could potentially require adjustments to these asset valuations.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the expected undiscounted cash flows of the asset, an impairment charge is recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds fair value. The testing of these intangibles under established guidelines for impairment requires significant use of judgment and assumptions. Changes in forecasted operations and other assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair values. Changes in business conditions could potentially require adjustments to these asset valuations.

 

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Indefinite-lived intangible assets relating to the asset acquisition of Organic Holdings, LLC (“Organic Holdings”), a market leader in the healthy aging and beauty from within categories and owner of the award-winning ReserveageTM Nutrition brand, are determined to have an indefinite useful economic life and as such are not amortized. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually which consists of a comparison of the fair value of the asset with its carrying value. The total indefinite-lived intangible assets as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $5,900.

 

Value of Warrants Issued with Debt

We estimate the grant date value of certain warrants issued with debt, using an outside professional valuation firm, which uses the Monte Carlo option lattice model. We record the amounts as interest expense or debt discount, depending on the terms of the agreement. These estimates involve multiple inputs and assumptions, including the market price of the Company’s common stock, stock price volatility and other assumptions to project earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and other reset events. These inputs and assumptions are subject to management’s judgment and can vary materially from period to period.

 

Derivative Liabilities

We have recorded certain warrants as derivative liabilities at estimated fair value, as determined based on our use of an outside professional valuation firm, due to the variable terms of the warrant agreements. The value of the derivative liabilities is generally estimated using the Monte Carlo option lattice model with multiple inputs and assumptions, including the market price of the Company’s common stock, stock price volatility and other assumptions to project EBITDA and other reset events. These inputs and assumptions are subject to management’s judgment and can vary materially from period to period.

 

Deferred gain on sale of assets

We entered into a sale-leaseback arrangement relating to our office facilities in 2013. Under the terms of the arrangement, we sold an office building and surrounding land and then leased the property back under a 15-year operating lease. We recorded a deferred gain for the amount of the gain on the sale of the asset, to be recognized as a reduction of rent expense over the life of the lease. Accordingly, we recorded amortization of deferred gain as a reduction of rental expense of $41 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we recorded amortization of $81 and $82, respectively. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, unamortized deferred gain on sale of assets was $1,646 and $1,727, respectively.

 

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net income or loss per common share (Basic EPS) is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income or loss per common share (Diluted EPS) is computed by dividing net income or loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive potential common shares then outstanding. Potential dilutive common share equivalents consist of total shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants to acquire common stock using the treasury stock method and the average market price per share during the period.

Correction of 2016 Diluted Net Loss Per Share

The diluted net loss per share for the period ended June 30, 2016 has been corrected. In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, when calculating diluted earnings or loss per share, if the effects are dilutive, companies are required to add back to net income or loss the effects of the change in derivative liabilities related to warrants. Additionally, if the effects of the change in derivative liabilities are added back to net income or loss, companies are required to include the warrants outstanding related to the derivative liability in the calculation of the weighted average dilutive shares. 

 

For the period ended June 30, 2016, as originally reported, we did not add back the effects of the change in the derivative liability in computing dilutive income or loss per share. The dilutive loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 in the table above has been revised to correct this error.

 

The table below reflects the diluted net loss per share as originally reported and net loss per share as corrected for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

  
   

As originally reported

   

As corrected

 
Diluted net loss per shares (three months)   $ (0.01 )   $ (0.02

  $ (0.01 )   $ (0.06 )
Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted (three months)     250,762,072       266,753,987  

Weighted average shares oustanding - diluted (six months)

    271,783,852       285,936,529  

 

Additionally, the diluted loss per share for the period ended September 30, 2016 will be reflected as corrected in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2017. The corrected diluted loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $(0.01) and $(0.07), respectively.

 

The errors were corrected as of December 31, 2016, but since the adjustments were not material to any of the quarters previously reported, the Form 10-Qs for those periods were not amended. Management has determined the effects to be neither quantitatively or qualitatively material to the financial statements included in any of the Form 10-Qs filed during 2016.

Sales to one of those customers were approximately 10% and 9% of total sales for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and 12% and 10% of total sales for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Accounts receivable from these customers were approximately 39% and 29% of total accounts receivable as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-11, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)” which addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruements with down round features. The amendments of this update change the determination of whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We have not yet determined the impact on our consolidated financial statements of the adoption of this new accounting pronouncement.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (Topic 350)” which removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test that requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation.  A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.  Early adoption is permitted after January 1, 2017.  We do not expect the new guidance to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Stock Compensation (Topic 718)”, which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including the income tax impacts, the classification on the statement of cash flows, and forfeitures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods. We have not yet determined the impact on our consolidated financial statements of the adoption of this new accounting pronouncement.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. The amendments in this ASU revise the accounting related to lessee accounting. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases. The new lease guidance also simplifies the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and are to be applied through a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We have not yet determined the impact on our consolidated financial statements of the adoption of this new accounting pronouncement.

  

Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB, which we have adopted or will adopt, as applicable, we do not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of operations and realization of assets and liabilities in the ordinary course of business. In most periods since our formation, we have generated losses from operations. At June 30, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $231,909. Historical losses are primarily attributable to lower than planned sales resulting from low fill rates on demand due to limitations of our working capital, delayed product introductions and postponed marketing activities, merger-related and other restructuring costs, and interest and refinancing charges associated with our debt refinancing. Losses have been funded primarily through issuance of common stock and third-party or related party debt.

 

Because of our history of operating losses, significant interest expense on our debt, and the recording of significant derivative liabilities, we have a working capital deficiency of $7,160 at June 30, 2017. We also have $17,609 of debt, net of discount, due within the next 12 months. These continuing conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management has addressed operating issues through the following actions: focusing on growing the core business and brands; continuing emphasis on major customers and key products; reducing manufacturing and operating costs and continuing to negotiate lower prices from major suppliers. We believe that we may need additional capital to execute our business plan. If additional funding is required, there can be no assurance that sources of funding will be available when needed on acceptable terms or at all.

Based on an outside professional valuation performed on the Company’s common stock, the Company estimated the stock price guarantee payment to be $3,210. Accordingly, the Company recorded a loss on the stock purchase price guarantee of $3,210 and a corresponding liability for the same amount in 2016, which was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016. On June 2, 2017, the two parties came to an agreement in which we were required to issue an Unsecured Promissory Note (“Huntington Note”) in favor of Huntington Holdings, LLC (“Huntington”). The Huntington Note matures on June 2, 2019 with the principal amount of $3,200 payable at maturity. Interest on the outstanding principal accrues at a rate of 8.5% per year from August 6, 2016 to August 15, 2017, and increases to 10% per year thereafter. We paid $50 to Huntington related to accrued interest from August 6, 2016 through the date of issuance of the Huntington Note. Huntington was required to return 778,385 shares of the Company’s common stock which were issued into escrow. We were required to provide certain piggyback registration rights to Huntington in regards to the remaining 749,999 shares of the Company’s common stock held by Huntington. If the Huntington Note is paid off prior to August 14, 2017, the 778,385 shares held in escrow will be released from escrow and transferred to the Company for no additional consideration. If the note remains outstanding on August 15, 2017, we shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay $140 to Huntington to purchase 764,192 of the shares held in escrow (the “Subject Shares”). Upon the exercise of this purchase option, the Subject Shares will be released from escrow and transferred to the Company. If the Huntington Note remains outstanding on August 15, 2017 and we do not exercise the option to purchase the shares, the shares will be returned from escrow to Huntington and we will no longer have repurchase rights. Pursuant to the agreement, we were also required to enter into a four-year lease agreement with the purchaser related to our premises occupied by Nutricap.

 

Financial Covenants

 

Certain of the foregoing debt agreements, as amended, require us to meet certain affirmative and negative covenants, including maintenance of specified ratios. We amended our debt agreements with MidCap, Penta and JL, effective July 29, 2016, to, among other things, reset the financial covenants of each debt agreement. As of June 30, 2017, management believes we are in compliance with our financial covenants for each debt agreement.

JL Properties, Inc. Warrants

In April 2015, we entered into an office lease agreement which requires a $1,000 security deposit, subject to reduction if we achieve certain market capitalization metrics at certain dates. On April 30, 2015, we entered into a Reimbursement Agreement with JL Properties, Inc.

As partial consideration for the entry by JL Properties into the Reimbursement Agreement and the provision of the letter of credit, we issued JL Properties two warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The first warrant is exercisable for an aggregate of 465,880 shares of common stock, subject to certain adjustments, at an aggregate purchase price of $0.01, at any time prior to April 30, 2020. In addition to adjustments on terms and conditions customary for a transaction of this nature in the event of (i) reorganization, recapitalization, stock split-up, combination of shares, mergers, consolidations and (ii) sale of all or substantially all of our assets or property, the number of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the warrant will be increased in the event our consolidated audited adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the warrant agreement) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018 does not equal or exceed $19,250.

Both warrant agreements grant Penta certain registration rights, commencing October 1, 2015, for the shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the warrants. Penta has the right, under certain circumstances, to require us to purchase all or any portion of the equity interest in the Company issued or represented by the warrant to acquire 4,960,740 shares at a price based on the greater of (i) the product of (x) ten times our adjusted EBITDA with respect to the twelve months preceding the exercise of the put right times (y) the investor’s percentage ownership in the Company assuming full exercise of the warrant; or (ii) the fair market value of the investor’s equity interest underlying the warrant. In the event (i) we do not have the funds available to repurchase the equity interest under the warrant or (ii) such repurchase is not lawful, adjustments to the principal of the note purchased by Penta will be made or, under certain circumstances, interest will be charged on the amount otherwise due for such repurchase. We have the right, under certain circumstances, to require Penta to sell to us all or any portion of the equity interest issued or represented by the warrant to acquire 4,960,740 shares. The price for such repurchase will be the greater of (i) the product of (x) eleven times our adjusted EBITDA with respect to the twelve months preceding the exercise of the call right times (y) the investor’s percentage ownership in the company assuming full exercise of the warrant; or (ii) the fair market value of the equity interests underlying the warrant; or (iii) $3,750.

NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

The number of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to certain warrants issued in 2015 will be increased if our adjusted EBITDA or the market price of the Company’s common stock do not meet certain defined amounts. We have recorded the estimated fair value of the warrants as of the date of issuance. Due to the variable terms of the warrant agreements, the warrants are recorded as derivative liabilities with a corresponding charge to our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants from the date of issuance to each balance sheet reporting date. As of June 30, 2017, we have estimated the total fair value of the derivative liabilities to be $7,750 as compared to $6,455 as of December 31, 2016. We had the following activity in our derivative liabilities account since December 31, 2016:

  

   

Six Months Ended

 
   

June 30,

 
   

2017

 

Derivative liabilities at December 31, 2016

  $ 6,455  
         

Loss on change in fair value of derivative liabilities

    1,295  

Derivative liabilities at June 30, 2017

  $ 7,750  

 

The value of the derivative liabilities is generally estimated using an options lattice model with multiple inputs and assumptions, including the market price of the Company’s common stock, stock price volatility and other assumptions to project EBITDA and other reset events. These inputs and assumptions are subject to management’s judgment and can vary materially from period to period.

NOTE 9 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)

 

Preferred Stock

The Company has authorized 500,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. No shares of the preferred stock have been issued.

 

Twinlab Consolidation Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan

The only equity compensation plan currently in effect is the Twinlab Consolidation Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “TCC Plan”), which was assumed by the Company on September 16, 2014. The TCC Plan originally established a pool of 20,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance as incentive awards to employees for the purposes of attracting and retaining qualified employees who will aid in the success of the Company. From January through December 2015, the Company granted Restricted Stock Units to certain employees of the Company pursuant to the TCC Plan. Each Restricted Stock Unit relates to one share of the Company’s common stock. The Restricted Stock Unit awards vest 25% each annually on various dates through 2019. The Company estimated the grant date fair market value per share of the Restricted Stock Units and is amortizing the total estimated grant date value over the vesting periods. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, there were not any shares of common stock issued to employees pursuant to the vesting of Restricted Stock Units. As of June 30, 2017, 5,635,626 shares remain available for use in the TCC Plan.

 

Common Stock Repurchase

On January 5, 2017, pursuant to a Repurchase Agreement 642,366 shares of the Company’s common stock were repurchased for an aggregate repurchase price of less than $1.

 

Stock Subscription Receivable and Loss on Stock Price Guarantee

At June 30, 2017, the stock subscription receivable dated August 1, 2014 for the purchase of 1,528,384 shares of the Company’s common stock had a principal balance of $30 and bears interest at an annual rate of 5%.

 

On August 6, 2016, the 18-month anniversary of the closing of a share purchase agreement, we were required to pay the purchaser of the common stock the difference between $2.29 per share and either a defined market price or a price per share determined by a valuation firm acceptable to both parties. Based on an outside professional valuation performed on the Company’s common stock, the Company estimated the stock price guarantee payment to be $3,210. Accordingly, the Company recorded a loss on the stock purchase price guarantee of $3,210 and a corresponding liability for the same amount in 2016, which was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016. On June 2, 2017, the two parties came to an agreement in which we were required to issue the Huntington Note in favor of Huntington. The Huntington Note matures on June 2, 2019 with the principal amount of $3,200 payable at maturity. Interest on the outstanding principal accrues at a rate of 8.5% per year from August 6, 2016 to August 15, 2017, and increases to 10% per year thereafter. We paid $50 to Huntington related to accrued interest from August 6, 2016 through the date of issuance of the Huntington Note. Huntington was required to return 778,385 shares of the Company’s common stock which were issued into escrow. We were required to provide certain piggyback registration rights to Huntington in regards to the remaining 749,999 shares of the Company’s common stock held by Huntington. If the Huntington Note is paid off prior to August 14, 2017, the 778,385 shares held in escrow will be released from escrow and transferred to the Company for no additional consideration. If the note remains outstanding on August 15, 2017, we shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay $140 to Huntington to purchase 764,192 of the Subject Shares held in escrow. Upon the exercise of this purchase option, the Subject Shares will be released from escrow and transferred to the Company. If the note remains outstanding on August 15, 2017 and we do not exercise the option to purchase the shares, the shares will be returned from escrow to Huntington and we will no longer have repurchase rights. Pursuant to the agreement, we were also required to enter into a four-year lease agreement with the purchaser related to our premises occupied by Nutricap.

Our Operations

 

We are an integrated manufacturer, marketer, distributor and retailer of branded nutritional supplements and other natural products sold to and through domestic health and natural food stores, mass market retailers, specialty stores retailers, on-line retailers and websites. Internationally, we market and distribute branded nutritional supplements and other natural products to and through health and natural product distributors and retailers.  

 

Our products include vitamins, minerals, specialty supplements and sports nutrition products primarily under the Twinlab® (including the Twinlab® Fuel brand of sports nutrition products), Reserveage™ and ResVitale® brands. We also manufacture and sell diet and energy products under the Metabolife® and Re-Body® brands and a full line of herbal teas under the Alvita® brand. To accommodate consumer preferences, our products come in various formulations and delivery forms, including capsules, tablets, softgels, chewables, liquids, sprays, powders and whole herbs. These products are sold primarily through health and natural food stores and on-line retailers, supermarkets, and mass-market retailers.

 

We also perform contract manufacturing services for private label products.  Our contract manufacturing business involves the manufacture of custom products to the specifications of a customer who requires finished products under the customer’s own brand name.  We do not market these private label products as our business is to manufacture and sell the products to the customer, who then markets and sells the products to retailers or end consumers.

 

We manufacture and/or distribute one of the broadest branded product lines in the industry with approximately 260 stock keeping units, or SKUs. We believe that as a result of our emphasis on innovation, quality, loyalty, education and customer service, our brands are widely recognized in health and natural food stores and among their customers.

 

We continue to focus on integrating our two 2015 acquisitions. The first was the acquisition of the customer relationships of Nutricap, a provider of dietary supplement contract manufacturing services, into our subsidiary, NutraScience, in February 2015, and the second was the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of Organic Holdings, a market leader in the healthy aging and beauty from within categories and owner of the award-winning Reserveage™ Nutrition brand, in October 2015. Progress has been made in consolidating manufacturing operations and we continue to believe that these acquisitions significantly strengthened our product offerings, contract manufacturing services and our sales and marketing capabilities, providing us with opportunities to improve our market position in addition to adding to supply chain efficiencies.

 

Going Concern Uncertainty

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of operations and realization of assets and liabilities in the ordinary course of business. In most periods since our formation, we have generated losses from operations. At June 30, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $231,909. Historical losses are primarily attributable to lower than planned sales resulting from low fill rates on demand due to limitations of our working capital, delayed product introductions and postponed marketing activities, merger-related and other restructuring costs, and interest and refinancing charges associated with our debt refinancing. Losses have been funded primarily through issuance of common stock and third-party or related party debt.

 

Because of this history of operating losses, significant interest expense on our debt, and the recording of significant derivative liabilities, we have a working capital deficiency of $7,160 at June 30, 2017. We also have $17,609 of debt, net of discount, due within the next 12 months. These continuing conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Management has addressed operating issues through the following actions: focusing on growing the core business and brands; continuing emphasis on major customers and key products; reducing manufacturing and operating costs and continuing to negotiate lower prices from major suppliers. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we obtained debt funding totaling $3,267 to execute the new supply chain initiatives and increase inventory levels. It is possible that we may need additional capital to execute our business plan. If additional funding is required, there can be no assurance that sources of funding will be available when needed on acceptable terms or at all.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of our financial statements required us to make estimates and assumptions that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reported periods. Significant estimates include values and lives assigned to acquired intangible assets, reserves for customer returns and allowances, uncollectible accounts receivable, valuation adjustments for slow moving, obsolete and/or damaged inventory and valuation, recoverability of long-lived assets, intangibles and goodwill, estimated values of stock options and warrants, share-based compensation, and the identification and valuation of derivatives. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Our critical accounting policies and estimates include the following:

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from product sales, net of estimated returns and allowances, is recognized when evidence of an arrangement is in place, related prices are fixed and determinable, contractual obligations have been satisfied, title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Shipping terms are generally freight on board shipping point. We sell predominately in the North American and European markets, with international sales transacted in U.S. Dollars.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowances

We grant credit to customers and generally do not require collateral or other security. We perform credit evaluations of our customers and provide for expected claims, related to promotional items; customer discounts; shipping shortages and damages; and doubtful accounts based upon historical bad debt and claims experience.

 

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and are reduced by an estimated reserve for obsolete inventory.

 

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist primarily of trademarks and customer relationships, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 30 years. The valuation and classification of these assets and the assignment of amortizable lives involve significant judgment and the use of estimates.

 

We believe that our long-term growth strategy supports our fair value conclusions. For intangible assets, the recoverability of these amounts is dependent upon achievement of our projections and the execution of key initiatives related to revenue growth and improved profitability.

 

Goodwill

Goodwill is not subject to amortization, but is reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. An impairment charge would be recorded to the extent the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value. The testing of goodwill under established guidelines for impairment requires significant use of judgment and assumptions. Changes in forecasted operations and other assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair values. Changes in business conditions could potentially require adjustments to these asset valuations.

 

 
21

 

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the expected undiscounted cash flows of the asset, an impairment charge is recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds fair value. The testing of these intangibles under established guidelines for impairment requires significant use of judgment and assumptions. Changes in forecasted operations and other assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair values. Changes in business conditions could potentially require adjustments to these asset valuations.

 

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Indefinite-lived intangible assets relating to the asset acquisition of Organic Holdings are determined to have an indefinite useful economic life and as such are not amortized. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually which consists of a comparison of the fair value of the asset with its carrying value.

 

Value of Warrants Issued with Debt

We estimate the grant date value of certain warrants issued with debt, using an outside professional valuation firm, which uses the Monte Carlo option lattice model. We record the amounts as interest expense or debt discount, depending on the terms of the agreement. These estimates involve multiple inputs and assumptions, including the market price of the Company’s common stock, stock price volatility and other assumptions to project earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and other reset events. These inputs and assumptions are subject to management’s judgment and can vary materially from period to period.

 

Derivative Liabilities

We have recorded certain warrants as derivative liabilities at estimated fair value, as determined based on the Company’s use of an outside professional valuation firm, due to the variable terms of the warrant agreements. The value of the derivative liabilities is generally estimated using Monte Carlo option lattice model with multiple inputs and assumptions, including the market price of the Company’s common stock, stock price volatility and other assumptions to project EBITDA and other reset events. These inputs and assumptions are subject to management’s judgment and can vary materially from period to period.

 

Share-Based Compensation

We record share-based compensation, including grants of restricted stock units, based on their grant date fair values and record compensation expense over the vesting period of the restricted stock awards.

 

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using an asset and liability approach. Deferred income taxes are determined by applying currently enacted tax laws and rates to the cumulative temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. Valuation allowances against deferred tax assets are recorded when we are unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will be realized.

 

Results of Operations

 

Net Sales

Our net sales decreased $803, or 4%, to $21,419 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $22,222 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. On a year-to-date basis, our net sales increased $2,679, or 6%, to $45,518 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $42,839 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in our net sales for the six months reflects the organic growth in our contract manufacturing business. In addition, we have increased sales of our Twinlab products due to improved stock levels, and have increased Organic Holdings sales through additional airtime and higher performance of sales through QVC channel.

 

Gross Profit

Our gross profit decreased $322, or 5%, to $5,653 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $5,975 for the three months ended June 30, 2016.  On a year-to-date basis, our gross profit increased $2,856, or 30%, to $12,253 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $9,397 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.  The increase in our gross profit for the six months is derived from higher sales volumes combined with increased sales of profitable products. In addition, compared to last year, there have been reductions to our manufacturing related general and administrative expenses that have positively affected our margins.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1,234, or 14%, to $7,333 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $8,567 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. On a year-to-date basis, our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $4,561, or approximately 25%, to $13,928 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $18,489 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decreases in our selling, general and administrative expenses are primarily due to our reduction in force to right-size the number of employees against the needs of current operations in 2017.

 

Loss on Stock Purchase Price Guarantee

On August 6, 2016, the 18-month anniversary of the closing of a share purchase agreement, we were required to pay the purchaser of the common stock the difference between $2.29 per share and either a defined market price or a price per share determined by a valuation firm acceptable to both parties. Based on an outside professional valuation performed on the Company’s common stock, the Company estimated the stock price guarantee payment to be $3,210. Accordingly, the Company recorded a loss on the stock purchase price guarantee of $3,210 and a corresponding liability for the same amount in 2016, which was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016. On June 2, 2017, the two parties came to an agreement in which we were required to issue an Unsecured Promissory Note (“Huntington Note”) in favor of Huntington Holdings, LLC (“Huntington”). The Huntington Note matures on June 2, 2019 with the principal amount of $3,200 payable at maturity. Interest on the outstanding principal accrues at a rate of 8.5% per year from August 6, 2016 to August 15, 2017, and increases to 10% per year thereafter. We paid $50 to Huntington related to accrued interest from August 6, 2016 through the date of issuance of the Huntington Note. Huntington was required to return 778,385 shares of the Company’s common stock which were issued into escrow. We were required to provide certain piggyback registration rights to Huntington in regards to the remaining 749,999 shares of the Company’s common stock held by Huntington. If the Huntington Note is paid off prior to August 14, 2017, the 778,385 shares held in escrow will be released from escrow and transferred to the Company for no additional consideration. If the note remains outstanding on August 15, 2017, we shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay $140 to Huntington to purchase 764,192 of the shares held in escrow (the “Subject Shares”). Upon the exercise of this purchase option, the Subject Shares will be released from escrow and transferred to the Company. If the Huntington Note remains outstanding on August 15, 2017 and we do not exercise the option to purchase the shares, the shares will be returned from escrow to Huntington and we will no longer have repurchase rights. Pursuant to the agreement we were also required to enter into a four-year lease agreement with the purchaser related to our premises occupied by Nutricap. 

 

Interest Expense, Net

Our interest expense increased $331, or 15%, to $2,478 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $2,147 for the three months ended June 30, 2016.  On a year-to-date basis, our interest expense increased $335, or 8%, to $4,442 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $4,107 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in our interest expense is primarily due to increases in our third-party or related party debt.

 

Gain (Loss) on Change in Derivative Liabilities

The number of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to certain warrants issued in 2015 will be increased if our audited adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) or the market price of the Company’s common stock do not meet certain defined amounts. We have recorded the estimated fair value of the warrants as of the date of issuance and each subsequent balance sheet reporting date. Due to the variable terms of the warrant agreements, changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants from the date of issuance to each balance sheet reporting date are recorded as gain (loss) on change in derivative liabilities in our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2017, we reported a loss on change in derivative liabilities of $297 and $1,295, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we reported a gain on change in derivative liabilities of $1,072 and $14,063, respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At June 30, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $231,909, primarily because of our history of operating losses and our recording of derivative liabilities and loss on stock purchase price guarantee. We have a working capital deficiency of $7,160 at June 30, 2017. Losses have been funded primarily through issuance of common stock, borrowings from our stockholders and third-party or related party debt and proceeds from the exercise of warrants. As of June 30, 2017, we had cash of $487. On an ongoing basis, we also seek to improve operating cash through trade receivables and payables management as well as inventory stocking levels. We used net cash in operating activities of $8,740 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we incurred new debt of $3,267, had a net increase in borrowings on our senior credit facility of $1,949 to fund our operations and debt repayment of $1,057.

  

Our total liabilities increased by $6,194 to $97,254 at June 30, 2017 from $91,060 at December 31, 2016. This increase in our total liabilities was primarily due to an increase in our non-cash derivative liabilities of $1,295, a non-cash increase in our debt of $3,200, a decrease in our liabilities related to operations of $3,703 and a net increase of $5,402 in debt. For discussion of our debt financings completed to date during 2017, see Notes 6 and 7 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report.

 

Cash Flows from Operating, Investing and Financing Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $8,740 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as a result of our net loss of $7,436, a non-cash loss on change in derivative liabilities of $1,295, as well as non-cash expenses totaling $3,380 and an increase in net operating assets and liabilities of $5,979. By comparison, for the six months ended June 30, 2016, net cash used in operating activities was $12,982 as a result of our net loss of $2,384, a non-cash gain on change in derivative liabilities of $14,063 as well as other non-cash expenses totaling $7,929 and a decrease in net operating assets and liabilities of $4,464. See Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in this Report for additional information.

  

 
23

 

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $29 and $110, respectively, consisting of the purchase of property and equipment.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $4,159 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, primarily consisting of proceeds from the issuance of debt of $3,267, net borrowings of $1,949 under our revolving credit facilities, partially offset by repayment of debt of $1,057. Net cash provided by financing activities was $17,804 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, consisting of proceeds from the exercise of warrants of $1, proceeds from the issuance of debt of $19,500, net borrowings of $755 under our revolving credit facilities, and a decrease in security deposits of $27, partially offset by repayment of debt of $2,479.

 

Ongoing Funding Requirements

As set forth above, we have obtained additional debt financing to date in 2017 to support operations. It is possible that we may need additional funding to enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements.

 

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues, we intend to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. There can be no assurance that any of those sources of funding will be available when needed on acceptable terms or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interests of existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of existing stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or relationships with third parties when needed or on acceptable terms, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts; abandon our business strategy of growth through acquisitions; or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

 

In July 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-11, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)” which addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruements with down round features. The amendments of this update change the determination of whether certain financial instruments should be classified as liabilities or equity instruments, a down round feature no longer precludes equity classification when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We have not yet determined the impact on our consolidated financial statements of the adoption of this new accounting pronouncement.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (Topic 350)” which removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test that requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation.  A goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.  Early adoption is permitted after January 1, 2017.  We do not expect the new guidance to have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Stock Compensation (Topic 718)”, which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including the income tax impacts, the classification on the statement of cash flows, and forfeitures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods. We have not yet determined the impact on our consolidated financial statements of the adoption of this new accounting pronouncement.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. The amendments in this ASU revise the accounting related to lessee accounting. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases. The new lease guidance also simplifies the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and are to be applied through a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We have not yet determined the impact on our consolidated financial statements of the adoption of this new accounting pronouncement.

 

Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB, which we have adopted or will adopt, as applicable, we do not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

Material Contractual Obligations

 

On December 15, 2016, we entered into an operating lease agreement for approximately 13,000 square feet of office space in Boca Raton, Florida. The agreement expires 103 months after the commencement, which occued in August 2017, and has a monthly base rent of $17.

 

As of June 30, 2017, we have total debt of $71,221, of which $50,716 is considered to be related-party debt. For discussion of our debt financings, see Notes 6 and 7 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report.

 

Effective February 6, 2013, we entered into an operating lease agreement for approximately 170,000 square feet of manufacturing, research and development, warehousing and shipping space, which includes roughly 30,000 square feet of office space, in American Fork, Utah. The agreement expires in February 2028 and has a monthly base rent of $60, provided that commencing on the five-year anniversary date thereafter, the base rent shall be increased by 10% over the base rent for the preceding five-year period.

 

Effective April 7, 2015, we entered into an operating lease agreement for approximately 31,000 square feet of office space in St. Petersburg, Florida. The agreement expires in April 2027 and has a monthly base rent of $59 for year 1 to $76 for year 12.

Item 3.          Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

This item is not applicable as we are currently considered a smaller reporting company.

 

 

Item 4.          Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2017, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2017, our management concluded that, as a result of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting discussed below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2017. 

 

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

 

Management plans and has initiated actions to implement a number of initiatives that address the ineffective design of the system of internal control over financial reporting and plans to initiate further actions to implement a number of initiatives, including but not limited to the following:

 

Work throughout the year with our independent Sarbanes-Oxley Act consultant to help improve the overall design of our system of internal control over financial reporting, so we promptly identify and refine prior to year-end.

 

Continue to evaluate control procedures on an ongoing basis, and, where possible modify those control procedures to improve management oversight.

 

Implement and improve systems to automate certain financial reporting processes and to improve information accuracy.

 

We made various staff changes during 2016 and during our most recent fiscal quarter in our finance and accounting department and we believe these changes have enabled us to broaden the scope and quality of our controls relating to the oversight and review of financial statements and to properly apply all relevant accounting. Furthermore, we plan to implement and improve systems to automate certain financial reporting processes and to improve information accuracy.

 

Management will continue the process of reviewing existing controls, procedures and responsibilities to more closely identify financial reporting risks and the required controls to address them. Key control and compensating control procedures will be developed to ensure that weaknesses are properly addressed and related financial reporting risks are mitigated. Periodic control validation and testing will also be implemented to ensure that controls continue to operate consistently and as designed. Management plans to complete this remediation process as quickly as possible. Although we expect it will take at least a year, we cannot estimate how long it will take to remediate the material weaknesses in our system of internal control over financial reporting. In addition, the remediation steps we have taken, are taking and expect to take may not effectively remediate the material weaknesses, in which case our internal control over financial reporting would continue to be ineffective. Even if we are able to complete these actions successfully, these measures may not adequately address our material weaknesses and may take more than a year to complete. In addition, it is possible that we will discover additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting or that our existing material weaknesses will result in additional errors in or restatements of our financial statements.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Other than the items discussed above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.          Legal Proceedings

 

In re: Herbal Supplements Marketing and Sales Practice Litigation, MDL No. 2619, Case No. 1:15-cv-5070, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, filed on June 9, 2015. We are not a party to this matter, which joined in a multidistrict litigation a number of purported class actions arising from allegations raised by a state attorney general claiming that DNA barcoding testing conducted on behalf of the attorney general indicated that certain herbal supplement products did not contain the herbal ingredients stated on the label. We do, however, pursuant to contractual obligations, provide indemnity and defense with respect to certain of the claims in this litigation. The defendants in this litigation intend to take all necessary steps to vigorously defend this matter.

 

Amy Mathews v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and Wal-Mart Stores Arkansas LLC, Case No. CV-2015-0294, in the Circuit Court of Independence County, Arkansas, Civil Division. This purported class action alleges a violation of the Arkansas Deceptive Trade Practices Act based on the same allegations of the state attorney general that serve as the basis for the claims in the Herbal Supplements multidistrict litigation referenced above, and seeks certification of a class of Arkansas residents purportedly impacted by the allegations. We are not a party to this litigation but provide indemnity and defense with respect to certain of the claims in this litigation.

 

Rite Aid Hdqrts. Corp v. Twinlab Corporation, Case No. 2016-05532, in the Cumberland Court of Common Pleas, Pennsylvania, filed on October 11, 2016.
