NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
September 30, 2013
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Business
Overview
True Drinks, Inc. (the "Company", "us", "True Drinks" or "we") was formed on January 19, 2012 in Delaware to create and commercialize all-natural, vitamin-enhanced drinks. Our primary business is the development, marketing, sale and distribution of our flagship product, AquaBall™ Naturally Flavored Water, a vitamin-enhanced, naturally flavored water drink packaged in our patented stacking spherical bottles. We distribute AquaBall™ nationally through select retail channels, such as grocery stores, mass merchandisers, drug stores and online. We also market and distribute Bazi® All Natural Energy, a liquid nutritional supplement drink, which is currently distributed through select retail channels, online, and through our existing database of customers.
On June 7, 2012, True Drinks, Inc., Bazi Acquisition Sub Inc. ("Merger Sub"), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bazi International, Inc., and Bazi International, Inc. entered into an agreement and tax-free plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”), wherein Merger Sub merged with and into the Company and True Drinks continued as the surviving corporation (the "Merger"). As a result of the Merger, True Drinks became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Merger closed on October 15, 2012 (the “Closing Date”). As a result of Merger, True Drinks, Inc.’s former shareholders owned approximately 95.5% of the combined post-Merger entity via voting convertible preferred stock issued as part of the merger, on an as-converted basis (See Recent Developments below). The Company subsequently changed its name from “Bazi International, Inc.” to “True Drinks Holdings, Inc.” The Merger was accounted for as a public company “reverse merger,” and, as such, the consolidated financial statements reported herein reflect the operations of True Drinks, Inc. within the capital structure of Bazi International, Inc.
True Drinks, Inc. was formerly named GT Beverage Company, Inc., which was formed in January 2012 and acquired GT Beverage Company, LLC on March 31, 2012 in a business combination primarily to acquire the spherical bottle patent held by GT Beverage Company, LLC. Subsequently as discussed above, GT Beverage Company, Inc. entered into a public company reverse merger with Bazi International, Inc. accounted for as a business combination, since Bazi International, Inc. was not a public shell as defined by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). GT Beverage Company, Inc. took over the capital structure of Bazi International, Inc. and was renamed True Drinks, Inc.
Bazi International, Inc. was originally incorporated in the state of Nevada in January 2001. True Drinks, Inc. (“True Drinks”), is incorporated in the state of Delaware.
Our principal place of business is 18552 MacArthur Boulevard, Suite 325, Irvine, California, 92612. Our telephone number is (949) 203-2500. Our corporate website address is http://www.truedrinks.com. Our Common Stock, par value $0.001 (“Common Stock”) is currently listed for quotation on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) under the symbol TRUU.
Developments During the Quarter
License Agreement
In August 2013, the Company signed an extension of its licensing agreement with Marvel Characters B.V. to extend the expiration date from December 31, 2013 to December 31, 2015 (the “Marvel Agreement”). The Marvel Agreement allows True Drinks to use a range of different Marvel characters on AquaBall™ packaging in exchange for a royalty payment, paid quarterly, equal to 5% of the proceeds from the sale of AquaBalls™ adorned with Marvel characters in the United States and Canada. The Marvel Agreement has a total royalty guarantee of $150,000 over the term of the agreement.
Note Offering
On June 20, 2013 the Company commenced a private offering of: (i) convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $3.3 million; and (ii) and five-year warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.10 per share (the “Warrants”) to certain accredited investors (each an “Investor” and collectively, “Investors”) (the “Offering”). Through September 30, 2013, the Company accepted subscription agreements from Investors resulting in the issuance of Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,615,000 (“Subscription Agreements”), which amount included $600,000 issued as consideration for the exchange of the outstanding principal and accrued interest of certain promissory notes previously issued by the Company to such Investors. As of November 14, 2013, the Company accepted additional subscription agreements for $511,000, bringing the total raised under the Offering, to date, to $3,126,000.
Basis of Presentation and Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2013, for the thee- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, have been prepared by management pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of True Drinks Holdings, Inc. as of and for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Operating results for the three- and nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013, or for any other interim period during such year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the SEC on April 5, 2013.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred a net loss of $5,164,497, has negative working capital of $4,003,289, and an accumulated deficit of $8,283,840. A significant amount of additional capital will be necessary to advance the marketability of the Company's products to the point at which the Company can sustain operations. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans are to continue to raise capital through equity and debt offerings, and to expand sales as rapidly as economically viable. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries True Drinks, Inc., Bazi, Inc. and GT Beverage Company, LLC. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by management include, among others, derivative liabilities, provision for losses on accounts receivable, allowances for obsolete and slow moving inventory, stock compensation, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, and the realization of long-lived and intangible assets, including goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Restricted Cash
The Company has $133,031 in restricted cash with a financial institution securing a letter of credit. The letter of credit matures in August 2015 and was issued as part of contractual obligations related to one of our licensing agreements with Disney Consumer Products, Inc.
Accounts Receivable
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is analyzed on a periodic basis to ensure that it is adequate to the best of management’s knowledge. Management develops an estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on the perceived likelihood of ultimate payment. Although the Company expects to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from these estimated amounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $254,000 and $54,000 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
Concentrations
The Company has no significant off-balance sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with two financial institutions. There are no funds in excess of the federally insured amount through September 30, 2013, or that are subject to credit risk, and the Company believes that the financial institutions are financially sound and the risk of loss is minimal.
During 2012, the Company relied on one supplier for 100% of its purchases of AquaBall™ Naturally Flavored Water and Bazi® products. In the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the Company began production of AquaBall™ with two other suppliers. The Company owns the formula for both the AquaBall™ and Bazi®, and management believes that its purchasing requirements can be readily met from alternative sources.
A significant portion of our revenue comes from sales of the AquaBall™ Naturally Flavored Water. For the quarter ended September 30, 2013, sales of AquaBall™ accounted for 100% of the Company’s total revenue. The Company is currently improving the manufacturing processes of its second product, Bazi® All Natural Energy, and will recommence shipments in the fourth quarter of 2013. The Company expects AquaBall™ to continue to account for a large portion of overall sales during the remainder of 2013 and into 2014.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market on a FIFO (first-in first-out) basis. Provisions are made to reduce excess or obsolete inventory to the estimated net realizable value. The Company purchases for resale a vitamin-enhanced flavored water beverage and a liquid dietary supplement.
Management reviews the carrying value of inventory in relation to its sales history and industry trends to determine an estimated net realizable value. Changes in economic conditions or customer demand could result in obsolete or slow moving inventory that cannot be sold or must be sold at reduced prices and could result in an inventory reserve. No inventory reserves were considered necessary as of September 30, 2013.
Inventory is comprised of the following:

Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows estimated to be generated by the asset. No impairment was deemed necessary during the quarter ended September 30, 2013.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consists of the direct costs incurred for application fees and legal expenses associated with trademarks on the Company’s products, customer list, and the estimated value of GT Beverage Company, LLC’s interlocking spherical bottle patent. The Company’s intangible assets are amortized over their estimated remaining useful lives. The Company evaluates the useful lives of its intangible assets annually and adjusts the lives according to the expected useful life. No impairment was deemed necessary during the quarter ended September 30, 2013.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that are individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at least annually, typically in the fourth quarter. No impairment indicators were noted during the quarter ended September 30, 2013.
Income Taxes
For the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred tax net operating losses, and accordingly, had no income tax provision. At September 30, 2013, the Company had tax net operating loss carryforwards and a related deferred tax asset, which had a full valuation allowance.
Stock-Based Compensation
For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, general and administrative expenses included stock based compensation expense of $694,533 and $64,592, respectively.
The Company uses a Black-Scholes option-pricing model (the “Black-Scholes Model”) to estimate the fair value of the stock option and warrants. The use of a valuation model requires the Company to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs. Expected volatility is calculated based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price over the contractual term of the option. The expected life is based on the contractual term of the option and expected employee exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior. Currently it is based on the simplified approach provided by SAB 110. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life assumed at the date of the grant (see Note 3, "Stock Options and Warrants").
Derivative Instruments
We evaluate free-standing derivative instruments (or embedded derivatives) to properly classify such instruments within equity or liabilities in our consolidated financial statements.
The classification of a derivative instrument is reassessed at each reporting date. If the classification changes as a result of events during a reporting period, the instrument is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. There is no limit on the number of times a contract may be reclassified.
Instruments classified as derivative liabilities are remeasured each reporting period (or upon classification) and the change in fair value is recorded on our consolidated statement of operations in other (income) expense.
Net Loss Per Share
Loss per common share was computed using the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. A total of 10,117,224 shares of Common Stock were not included in this calculation, including 2,541,500 shares underlying convertible notes payable, 3,582,466 shares underlying Common Stock purchase warrants and 3,993,258 shares underlying Common Stock options for a total of 10,117,224 shares as inclusion of these shares would be anti-dilutive.
Weighted average shares of Common Stock outstanding retrospectively reflect the 100 to 1 reverse split in January 2013, as if such split occurred on January 19, 2012 (inception). Also reflected from inception is the conversion of shares of Common Stock outstanding at a 1,638 to 1 conversion ratio, reflecting the conversion of shares of Common Stock to shares of Preferred Stock in October 2012 and then conversion to shares of Common Stock in January 2013.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no recently issued, but not yet effective pronouncements that may have a material impact on the Company’s future financial statements.

NOTE 4 — CONVERTIBLE NOTES
Note Offering
On June 20, 2013 the Company commenced a private offering of: (i) convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $3.3 million; and (ii) and five-year warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.10 per share (the “Warrants”) to certain accredited investors (each an “Investor” and collectively, “Investors”) (the “Offering”). Through September 30, 2013, the Company accepted subscription agreements from Investors resulting in the issuance of Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,615,000 (“Subscription Agreements”), which amount included $600,000 issued as consideration for the exchange of the outstanding principal and accrued interest of certain promissory notes previously issued by the Company to certain Investors. As of November 14, 2013, the Company has accepted additional subscription agreements for $511,000, bringing the total raised under the Offering, to date, to $3,126,000.
Each Note currently accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum, and matures on November 29, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”); provided, however, under the terms of the Notes, the Company may elect to extend the Maturity Date to February 28, 2014 and begin accruing interest at a rate of 14% as of the date of such extension (the “First Extension Option”), and again to May 31, 2014 and begin accruing interest at a rate of 15% per annum as of the date of such extension (the “Second Extension Option”). Each Note is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof into that number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.001 par value (“Common Stock”), equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, divided by $2.00. The notes contain "anti-dilution" protection, such that if the Company conducts a qualifying equity transaction, the conversion price of the notes will be the lower of $2.00 or 90% of the price of the qualifying equity transaction. Under ASC 815, management determined that the embedded conversion feature is a derivative liability and recorded a debt discount of $259,285 based on the estimated fair value of the derivative liability. Such amount was determined by a third-party valuation firm using a Monte Carlo simulation and is being amortized into interest expense over the term of the note. Each Note is also accompanied by Warrants to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes divided by the lower of $1.10 or the price of a qualifying equity transaction. Under ASC 815, management determined that the warrant’s price-protection feature is also a derivative liability and recorded a debt discount of $903,955 based on the estimated fair value of the derivative liability. This amount is being amortized into interest expense over the term of the note.

Legal Proceedings
From time to time, claims are made against the Company in the ordinary course of business, which could result in litigation. Claims and associated litigation are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes could occur. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters, if any, will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
On July 1, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court, the Southern District of Ohio, Cincinnati Division, against GT Beverage Company, LLC (“GT LLC”) by Dominion Liquid Technologies, LLC.

As of February 2013, Dominion amended its complaint to add the Company as a defendant in the case. Dominion is seeking monetary damages in an amount exceeding $800,000.

On June 20, 2013 the Company commenced a private offering of: (i) convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $3.3 million; and (ii) and five-year warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.10 per share (the “Warrants”) to certain accredited investors (each an “Investor” and collectively, “Investors”) (the “Offering”).

Critical Accounting Polices and Estimates
Discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates; including those related to collection of receivables, inventory obsolescence, sales returns and non-monetary transactions such as stock and stock options issued for services. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. With the exception of derivative instruments below, we believe there have been no changes to our critical accounting policies subsequent to the filing of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Derivative Instruments
We evaluate free-standing derivative instruments (or embedded derivatives) to properly classify such instruments within equity or liabilities in our consolidated financial statements.
The classification of a derivative instrument is reassessed at each reporting date. If the classification changes as a result of events during a reporting period, the instrument is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. There is no limit on the number of times a contract may be reclassified.
Instruments classified as derivative liabilities are remeasured each reporting period (or upon classification) and the change in fair value is recorded on our consolidated statement of operations in other (income) expense.

Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $684,206, as compared to $1,381 for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $360,218. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue (gross margin) during nine months ended September 30, 2013 was 16%. This figure was affected by the high costs of our raw materials due to the low volume of product manufactured during the year. The Company’s costs related to the production of our product is declining due to lower production expenses, and our freight charges on incoming shipments of raw materials are declining on a per-case basis.

Interest Expense
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $1,064,823, as compared to $1,794 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was due to the Company’s use of convertible note financing beginning in the fourth quarter of 2012, as well as the recording of shares issued and lender’s fees in connection with the issuance of the convertible notes being recorded to interest expense, and the commencement of the Offering in June 2013. In the first nine months of 2012, the Company was funded through equity financing resulting in no interest expenses being recorded. This figure includes $657,307 in accretion of the debt discount on notes payable created by the embedded conversion feature of the notes and the warrants issued with the notes to investors.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our auditors have included a paragraph in their report on our consolidated financial statements, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, indicating that there is substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. As of and for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred a net loss of $2,157,227, has negative working capital of $4,003,289, and an accumulated deficit of $8,283,840. While subsequent to September 30, 2013, the Company has raised approximately $511,000 resulting from the sale of convertible promissory notes, additional capital may be necessary to advance the marketability of the Company's products to the point at which the Company can sustain operations. Management's plans are to continue to contain expenses, expand distribution and sales of its AquaBall™ Naturally Flavored Water as rapidly as economically possible, and raise capital through equity and debt offerings in the event additional capital is necessary to execute the Company’s business plan and achieve profitability from continuing operations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result in the event the Company is unsuccessful in its plans.
The Company has financed its operations through sales of equity and, to a lesser degree, cash flow provided by sales of AquaBall™. Despite recent sales of debt securities as described below, funds generated from sales of our Common Stock and cash flow provided by AquaBall™ sales may be insufficient to fund our operating requirements for the next twelve months. As a result we may require additional capital to continue operating as a going concern. No assurances can be given that we will be successful.
Note Offering
On June 20, 2013 the Company commenced a private offering of: (i) convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $3.3 million; and (ii) and five-year warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.10 per share (the “Warrants”) to certain accredited investors (each an “Investor” and collectively, “Investors”) (the “Offering”). To date, the Company has accepted subscription agreements from Investors resulting in the issuance of Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,615,000 (“Subscription Agreements”), which amount included $600,000 issued as consideration for the exchange of the outstanding principal and accrued interest of certain promissory notes previously issued by the Company to such Investors.
Each Note currently accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum, and matures on November 29, 2013 (the “Maturity Date”); provided, however, under the terms of the Notes, the Company may elect to extend the Maturity Date to February 28, 2014 and begin accruing interest at a rate of 14% as of the date of such extension (the “First Extension Option”), and again to May 31, 2014 and begin accruing interest at a rate of 15% per annum as of the date of such extension (the “Second Extension Option”). Each Note is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof into that number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.001 par value (“Common Stock”), equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Note, plus accrued but unpaid interest, divided by $2.00. The notes contain "anti-dilution" protection, such that if the Company conducts a qualifying equity transaction, the conversion price of the notes will be the lower of $2.00 or 90% of the price of the qualifying equity transaction. Under ASC 815, management determined that the embedded conversion feature is a derivative liability and recorded a debt discount of $259,285 based on the estimated fair value of the derivative liability. Such amount was determined by a third-party valuation firm using a Monte Carlo simulation and is being amortized into interest expense over the term of the note. Each Note is also accompanied by Warrants to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to 75% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes divided by the lower of $1.10 or the price of a qualifying equity transaction. Under ASC 815, management determined that the warrant’s price-protection feature is a derivative liability and recorded a debt discount of $903,955 based on the estimated fair value of the derivative liability. This amount is being amortized into interest expense over the term of the note.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a)
|
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
|
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to as the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that this information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation and supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized 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.
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective based on our material weakness in the form of lack of segregation of duties, which stems from our early stage status and limited capital resources to hire additional financial and administrative staff.
(b) Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that there have been no changes, in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report identified in connection with the evaluation described in the above paragraph that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, claims are made against the Company in the ordinary course of business, which could result in litigation. Claims and associated litigation are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes could occur. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters, if any, will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
On July 1, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court, the Southern District of Ohio, Cincinnati Division, against GT Beverage Company, LLC (“GT LLC”) by Dominion Liquid Technologies, LLC. The lawsuit alleges that GT LLC breached terms of a 2010 co-packing agreement, which governed the relationship between the parties. As of February 2013, Dominion amended its complaint to add the Company as a defendant in the case. Dominion is seeking monetary damages in an amount exceeding $800,000. GT LLC has filed its answer denying all of Dominion’s claims and expects to vigorously defend the suit. Summary motions are currently under review by the Court’s magistrate, and a trial will likely be set in early 2014.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our results of operations and financial condition are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, filed on April 5, 2013. You should carefully consider these risk factors in conjunction with the other information contained in this Quarterly Report. Should any of these risks materialize, our business, financial condition and future prospects could be negatively impacted. As of September 30, 2013, there have been no material changes to the disclosures made in the above-referenced Form 10-K.
