ACTIVE HEALTH FOODS, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements
September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012
NOTE 1 - CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at September 30, 2013 and for all periods presented have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2012 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
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. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reclassification
Certain balances in previously issued financial statements have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 7 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
The Company evaluates all of it financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. For option-based derivative financial instruments, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Under ASC-815 the conversion options embedded in the notes payable described in Note 6 require liability classification because they do not contain an explicit limit to the number of shares that could be issued upon settlement.
During 2013, certain notes payable were converted resulting in settlement of the related derivative liabilities. The Company re-measured the embedded conversion options at fair value on the date of settlement and recorded these amounts to additional paid-in capital.
During 2013, the Company issued additional convertible notes. The conversion options and warrants were classified as derivative liabilities at their fair value on the date of issuance.
As defined in FASB ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilized the market data of similar entities in its industry or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).

NOTE 7 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITY (continued)
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 | Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities. |
Level 2 - | Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. |
Level 3 | Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in managements best estimate of fair value. |
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Companys financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as September 30, 2013.

Overview
Active Health Foods, Inc. (AHF or the Company), was incorporated in the State of California on January 9, 2008 under the same name.
Active Health Foods, Inc. is a California corporation with a principal business objective of providing competitively priced, premium quality, organic energy bars. Active Health Foods, Inc. has developed the brand name Active XTM for its energy bars. The term Active XTM was trademarked by the company on May 6, 2008. Active XTM energy bars are organic, moist and flavorful. Our energy bars are made from a proprietary formula developed by and exclusive to Active Health Foods, Inc. This proprietary blend only uses natural and organic ingredients. Active XTM energy bars come in four flavors:
16
►
Almond Chocolate Delight
►
Peanut Butter Chocolate Joy
►
Cashew Berry Dream
►
Coconut Cocoa Passion
Each energy bar is 1.8 net ounces and comes wrapped in a distinctive, decorated full color wrapping. Each flavor is packaged into a full color decorated display box, which is specifically designed to be used as a counter display for the retailer. Each uniquely designed display box holds 16 bars. There are eight display boxes to a case, for a total of 128 bars per case.
Competition
Currently, the organic and health food industry is growing and the Company faces considerable competition from other companies worldwide. This business is replete with competition at all levels of geographic settings, expertise and ethical variances. Our ability to remain competitive is based on our ability to provide our customers with a broad range of quality products, competitively priced, with superior customer service. The prospective ability to develop cost effective products that provide superior value is an integral component of our ability to stay competitive. We believe that the breadth and quality of our existing product line, the infrastructure in place to effectively source our products and the skill and dedication of our management will allow us to successfully compete in our chosen marketplace.
No formal study has been commissioned or initiated to analyze the competition that the Company will or may face. The Companys internal management competitor analysis reveals that the health food industry is a competitive business with competition coming from small locally owned companies, major big box stores labeling generic brands with their signature label, to the more popular selling organic bars such as Clif and Luna. None of these produce and sell 100% organic and 100% natural food bars like Active XTM energy bars and as such they lack the nutritional value of an Active XTM energy bar. All competitors bars are dry, bland and contain fillers and paste, resulting in more of a rice crispy type bar than a 100% organic and 100% natural moist and flavorful bar such as Active XTM.
All of our major competitors are generally better financed, have greater name recognition, an established customer loyalty base and a broader range of markets than we do presently. Our core philosophy of a 100% organic and 100% natural product, reliability of not only product quality but delivery as well, along with a fair price, we believe will distinguish our Company from the competition. Even with the competitive nature of the business, there is an opportunity for the Company to position itself for success by recognizing and catering to an increasingly demanding consumer. If the Company is unable to compete successfully against any of these competitors, then revenues could be negatively impacted, which would adversely affect the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company.
Employees
The Company does not presently have any full or part-time employees. The sole officer and director of the Company is providing time and services as necessary for the development of the Company.
Active Health Foods, Inc. is currently in the development stage. During this development period, we plan to rely exclusively on the services of our sole officer and director to establish business operations and perform or supervise the minimal services required at this time. Our operations are currently on a small scale and, it is believed, manageable by the present management. The responsibilities are mainly administrative at this time, as our operations are minimal.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we experienced a net loss of approximately $1,231,496 compared to $4,508,003 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. On September 30, 2013, we had approximately $105 in cash compared to approximately $4,459 in cash at December 31, 2012. Accounts receivable, net of allowances for doubtful accounts, totaled $29,189 at September 30, 2013 compared to $28,697 at December 31, 2012.
Our liquidity and capital resource planning is largely dependent on the generation of operating cash flows, which is highly sensitive to changes in demand in the market place, the general economic downturn and our own lack of operating funding. Our principal liquidity requirements are to finance current operations and fund future expansion. Currently, our primary source of liquidity to meet these needs is the cash generated by operations and the sale of our equity.
Cash Flow
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we had negative cash flow from operations of $150,794. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we had negative cash flow from operations of approximately $152,519. This negative cash flow is primarily due to the start-up nature of our business, the general economic downturn and our lack of operating capital.
There were no investment activities for either of the three month periods ending September 30, 2013 or September 30, 2012.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we had positive cash flows from financing of approximately $146,440. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we had positive cash flows from financing of
18
approximately $157,127. This positive cash flow is primarily due to the issuance of related-party and convertible debt.
Capital Resources
Line of Credit
The Company does not have any line of credit nor does it anticipate applying for any. However, should the current financial condition of the Company prove to be insufficient for the Companys future requirements, the Company is willing to attempt entry into the capital markets to raise the necessary capital to meet its needs.
Long Term Notes
The Company does not have any long term notes and does not anticipate acquiring any.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Please refer to the Notes to the financial statements.
Inflation
In the opinion of management, inflation will not have any material impact on the Companys financial condition and results of its operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that could reasonably be foreseen as material to any investor in our securities.
Seasonality
Our operating results are generally not materially affected by seasonality.

There are numerous factors that impact or that can potentially impact our business and results of our operations. Sources of these factors include general economic and business conditions, federal, state and local regulation of business activities, the level of demand for product or services, the level and intensity of competition, the ability to develop new services and products based on new or evolving technology and the markets acceptance of those new services or products, our ability to timely and effectively manage periodic product transitions, customer and geographic sales mix of any particular period, and our ability to continue to improve our infrastructure including personnel and systems to keep pace with our anticipated growth.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules, regulations and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Controls and Procedures
In accordance with Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), our management is required to perform an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Companys principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that the information required to be filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, recording, processing, summarizing and reporting as specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and regulations.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are not a party to any legal proceedings, there are no known judgments against the Company, nor are there any known actions or suits filed or threatened against us or our officers and directors, in their capacities as such. We are not aware of any disputes involving the Company and the Company has no known claim, actions or inquiries from any federal, state or other government agency. We are not aware of any claims against the Company or any reputed claims against it at this time.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Any investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our public filings. However, all risk factors should be considered and consultation with appropriate legal and financial advisors is recommended.
When we become fully reporting, these additional risk factors should be considered:
Our Common Stock Is Subject to Penny Stock Regulation
Our shares are subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), commonly referred to as the "penny stock" rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15g-9(d)(1) incorporates the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. The Commission generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Rule 3a51-1 provides that any equity security is considered to be penny stock unless that security is: registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the Commission; authorized for quotation on the NASDAQ Stock
20
Market; issued by a registered investment company; excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share) or the registrant's net tangible assets; or exempted from the definition by the Commission. Since our shares are deemed to be "penny stock", trading in the shares will be subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny stock to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.
FINRA Sales Practice Requirements May Also Limit a Stockholder's Ability to Buy And Sell Our Stock
In addition to the penny stock rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
We May Not Have Access to Sufficient Capital to Pursue Our Business and Therefore Would Be Unable to Achieve Our Planned Future Growth
We intend to pursue a growth strategy that includes development of the Companys business and technology assets. Currently we have limited capital which is insufficient to pursue our plans for development and growth. Our ability to implement our growth plans may depend primarily on our ability to obtain additional private or public equity or debt financing. We are currently seeking additional capital. Such financing may not be available at all, or we may be unable to locate and secure additional capital on terms and conditions that are acceptable to us. Our failure to obtain additional capital may have a material adverse effect on our business.
If We Become Quoted on the OTCBB Instead of an Exchange or National Quotation System, Our Investors May Have a Tougher Time Selling Their Stock or Experience Negative Volatility on the Market Price of Our Stock
We anticipate our common stock will be traded on the OTCBB. The OTCBB is often highly illiquid. There is a greater chance of volatility for securities that trade on the OTCBB as compared to a national exchange or quotation system. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack of readily available price quotations, the absence of consistent administrative supervision of bid and ask quotations, lower trading volume, and market conditions. Investors in our common stock may experience high fluctuations in the market price and volume of the trading market for our securities. These fluctuations, when they occur, have a negative effect on the market price for our securities. Accordingly, our stockholders may not be able to realize a fair price from their shares when they determine to sell them or may have to hold them for a substantial period of time until the market for our common stock improves.
Failure to Achieve and Maintain Effective Internal Controls in Accordance with Section 404 Of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act Could Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Business and Operating Results
It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the additional internal controls, processes and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal auditing and other finance staff in order to develop and implement appropriate additional internal controls, processes and reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with these requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications that the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires of publicly traded companies.
If we fail to comply in a timely manner with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding internal control over financial reporting or to remedy any material weaknesses in our internal controls that we may identify, such failure could result in material misstatements in our financial statements, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.
21
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and current SEC regulations, we will be required to prepare assessments regarding internal controls over financial reporting and furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting. We have begun the process of documenting and testing our internal control procedures in order to satisfy these requirements, which is likely to result in increased general and administrative expenses and may shift management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. While our management is expending significant resources in an effort to complete this important project, there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve our objective on a timely basis. There also can be no assurance that our auditors will be able to issue an unqualified opinion on managements assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment or complete our Section 404 certifications could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.
In addition, in connection with our on-going assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, we may discover material weaknesses in our internal controls as defined in standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The PCAOB defines significant deficiency as a deficiency that results in more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected.
In the event that a material weakness is identified, we will employ qualified personnel and adopt and implement policies and procedures to address any material weaknesses that we identify. However, the process of designing and implementing effective internal controls is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company. We cannot assure you that the measures we will take will remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or that we will implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial process and reporting in the future.
Any failure to complete our assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify or to implement new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial statements. Any such failure could also adversely affect the results of the periodic management evaluations of our internal controls and, in the case of a failure to remediate any material weaknesses that we may identify, would adversely affect the annual auditor attestation reports regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that are required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Inadequate internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.
Operating History and Lack of Profits Could Lead to Wide Fluctuations in Our Share Price. The Price at Which You Purchase Our Common Shares May Not Be Indicative of the Price That Will Prevail in The Trading Market. You May Be Unable to Sell Your Common Shares at or above Your Purchase Price, Which May Result in Substantial Losses to You. The Market Price for Our Common Shares May Be Particularly Volatile Given Our Status as a Relatively Unknown Company.
The market for our common shares is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our common shares are sporadically and thinly traded. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our common shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price. Secondly, we are a speculative or risky investment due to our limited operating history and lack of profits to date, and uncertainty of future market acceptance for our potential products. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the
22
stock of a seasoned issuer. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common shares will be at any time, including as to whether our common shares will sustain their current market prices, or as to what effect that the sale of shares or the availability of common shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.
Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.
Volatility in Our Common Share Price May Subject Us to Securities Litigation, Thereby Diverting Our Resources That May Have a Material Effect on Our Profitability and Results of Operations
As discussed in the preceding risk factors, the market for our common shares is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may in the future be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert managements attention and resources.
