NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
June 30, 2017
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Organization and Business
Overview
True Drinks Holdings, Inc. (the
“Company”, “us” or “we”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada
in January 2001 and is the holding company for True Drinks, Inc.
(“True Drinks”), a beverage company incorporated in the
state of Delaware in January 2012 that specializes in all-natural,
vitamin-enhanced drinks. Our primary business is the development,
marketing, sale and distribution of our flagship product,
AquaBall® Naturally Flavored Water, a zero-sugar,
zero-calorie, preservative-free, vitamin-enhanced, naturally
flavored water drink. 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 online and through
our existing database of customers.
Our principal place of business is 18662 MacArthur
Boulevard, Suite 110, Irvine, California, 92612. Our telephone
number is (949) 203-3500. Our corporate website address is
http://www.truedrinks.com. Our common stock, par value $0.001 per
share (“Common
Stock”), is currently
listed for quotation on the OTC Pink Marketplace under the symbol
“TRUU".
Basis of
Presentation and Going
Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheet as of December 31, 2016, which has been derived from audited
financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2016, and the accompanying interim
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by
management pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (“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 fairly present the Company’s financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows 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 six-month
period ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017,
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, 2016 filed with the SEC on March 31,
2017.
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplates continuation
of the Company as a going concern. As of and for the six months
ended June 30, 2017, the Company had a net loss of $2,684,170, has
negative working capital of $266,638, and an accumulated deficit of
$38,478,376. The Company had $232,487 in cash at June 30, 2017 with
$209,674 of this cash being restricted, as discussed below. The
Company may require additional capital to execute its business
plan, marketing and operating plan, and therefore sustain
operations, which capital may not be available on favorable terms,
if at all. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result in the
event the Company was unable to generate sufficient cash from
operations, execute its business, marking or operating plan, or
obtain additional working capital, if necessary.
Principles of Consolidation
The
accompanying condensed consolidated 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 condensed consolidated financial
statements.
Use of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States 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
At June 30, 2017, the Company had $209,674 in
restricted cash with a financial institution securing a letter of
credit. The letter of credit matures on August 31, 2017 and was
issued as part of the contractual obligations related to the
Licensing Agreement entered into with Disney Consumer Products,
Inc. (“Disney”) during the quarter ended September 30,
2015.
Accounts Receivable
The
Company records its trade accounts receivable at net realizable
value. This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated
sales returns and allowances, and uncollectible accounts to reflect
any losses anticipated and charged to the provision for doubtful
accounts. Credit is extended to our customers based on an
evaluation of their financial condition; generally, collateral is
not required. An estimate of uncollectible amounts is made by
management based upon historical bad debts, current customer
receivable balances, age of customer receivable balances, the
customer’s financial condition and current economic trends,
all of which are subject to change. Actual uncollected amounts have
historically been consistent with the Company’s expectations.
Receivables are charged off against the reserve for doubtful
accounts when, in management’s estimation, further collection
efforts would not result in a reasonable likelihood of receipt, or
later as proscribed by statutory regulations.
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 funds in excess of the federally insured amount, 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.
All production of AquaBall® is done by
Niagara, under the terms and conditions of the Niagara Agreement.
Niagara handles all aspects of production, including the
procurement of all raw materials necessary to produce
AquaBall®. We currently utilize a separate facility to handle
any necessary repackaging of AquaBall®
into six packs or 15-packs for club
customers.
During
the second quarter of 2017, we relied significantly on one supplier
for 100% of our purchases of certain raw materials for Bazi®.
Bazi, Inc. has sourced these raw materials from this supplier since
2007 and does not anticipate any issues with the supply of these
raw materials.
We
did not have any significant concentrations in either sales or
accounts receivable during the three months ended June 30, 2017 or
2016. No customers exceeded 10% of the Company’s sales or
accounts receivable during the three months ended June 30, 2017 or
2016.
A significant portion of our revenue comes from
sales of the AquaBall®
Naturally Flavored Water.
For the
three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, sales of AquaBall®
accounted for 98% and 90% of the Company’s total revenue,
respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, sales of
AquaBall® accounted for 97% and 91% of the Company’s
total revenue, respectively.
Inventory
The
Company contracts for the manufacture for resale a vitamin-enhanced
flavored water beverage and a liquid dietary
supplement.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (based
on the first-in, first-out method) or market (net realizable
value). Cost includes shipping and handling fees and costs, which
are subsequently expensed to cost of sales. The Company provides
for estimated losses from obsolete or slow-moving inventories, and
writes down the cost of inventory at the time such determinations
are made. Reserves are estimated based on inventory on hand,
historical sales activity, industry trends, the retail environment,
and the expected net realizable value.
The Company maintained inventory reserves of
$110,000 as of December 31, 2016. This inventory reserve is related
to our remaining finished goods inventory of
AquaBall®,
prior to the production of our preservative-free new formulation of
AquaBall®
produced by Niagara. The prior
formulation AquaBall®
is still being sold, but only to
select accounts at a reduced price. As of June 30, 2017, all such
product has been removed from our inventories and a reserve is no
longer necessary.
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 June 30, 2017.
Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets
As
a result of acquisitions, we have goodwill and other identifiable
intangible assets. In business combinations, goodwill is generally
determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration
transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in
the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and
liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Accounting for
acquired goodwill in accordance with GAAP requires significant
judgment with respect to the determination of the valuation of the
acquired assets and liabilities assumed in order to determine the
final amount of goodwill recorded in business combinations.
Goodwill is not amortized, rather, it is evaluated for impairment
on an annual basis, or more frequently when a triggering event
occurs between annual tests that would more likely than not reduce
the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. Such
impairment evaluations compare the reporting unit’s estimated
fair value to its carrying value.
Identifiable
intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships
recognized in business combinations. Identifiable intangible assets
with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives,
which represent the period over which the asset is expected to
contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows.
Identifiable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever
events and circumstances indicate the carrying value of such assets
or liabilities may not be recoverable and exceed their fair value.
If an impairment loss exists, the carrying amount of the
identifiable intangible asset is adjusted to a new cost basis. The
new cost basis is amortized over the remaining useful life of the
asset. Tests for impairment or recoverability require significant
management judgment, and future events affecting cash flows and
market conditions could adversely impact the valuation of these
assets and result in impairment losses.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, we
recognized impairment on identifiable intangible assets of $679,411
related to the interlocking spherical bottle patent acquired in the
acquisition of GT Beverage Company, Inc., and adjusted the carrying
value of this patent to $250,000 as of December 31,
2016. As of June 30, 2017,
no additional impairment had been recognized on identifiable
intangible assets.
Income Taxes
As
the Company’s calculated provision (benefit) for income tax
is based on annual expected tax rates, no income expense was
recorded for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.
At June 30, 2017, 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 six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, general and
administrative expenses included stock based compensation expense
of $163,736 and $123,108, respectively.
The Company uses a Black-Scholes option-pricing
model (the “Black-Scholes
Model”) to estimate the
fair value of outstanding stock options and warrants not accounted
for as derivatives. 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 or warrant. The expected life is based on the
contractual term of the option or warrant and expected exercise
and, in the case of options, post-vesting employment termination
behavior. Currently, our model inputs are based on the simplified
approach provided by Staff Accounting Bulletin
(“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.
The
fair value for restricted stock awards is calculated based on the
stock price on the date of grant.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company does not have any assets or liabilities carried at fair
value on a recurring or non-recurring basis, except for derivative
liabilities.
The
Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts
receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and debt.
Management believes that the carrying amount of these financial
instruments approximates their fair values, due to their relatively
short-term nature.
Derivative Instruments
A derivative is an instrument whose value is
“derived” from an underlying instrument or index such
as a future, forward, swap, option contract, or other financial
instrument with similar characteristics, including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts
(“embedded
derivatives”) and for
hedging activities. As a matter of policy, the Company does not
invest in financial derivatives or engage in hedging transactions.
However, the Company has entered into complex financing
transactions that involve financial instruments containing certain
features that have resulted in the instruments being deemed
derivatives or containing embedded derivatives. Derivatives
and embedded derivatives, if applicable, are measured at fair value
using the binomial lattice (“Binomial
Lattice”) pricing model
and marked to market and reflected on our condensed consolidated
statement of operations as other (income) expense at each reporting
period. However, such new and/or complex instruments may have
immature or limited markets. As a result, the pricing models used
for valuation of derivatives often incorporate significant
estimates and assumptions, which may impact the level of precision
in the financial statements. Furthermore, depending on the terms of
a derivative or embedded derivative, the valuation of derivatives
may be removed from the financial statements upon conversion of the
underlying instrument into some other security.
Basic and Diluted Income (loss) per share
Our computation of earnings per share
(“EPS”) includes basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS
is measured as the income (loss) available to common stockholders
divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential
dilution, using the treasury stock method, that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised
or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of
common stock that then shared in the income (loss) of the Company
as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods
presented, or issuance date, if later. In computing diluted income
(loss) per share, the treasury stock method assumes that
outstanding options and warrants are exercised and the proceeds are
used to purchase common stock at the average market price during
the period. Options and warrants may have a dilutive effect under
the treasury stock method only when the average market price of the
common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the
options and warrants. Potential common shares that have an
antidilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or
decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of
diluted EPS.
Income (loss) per common share is computed by
dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding during the respective periods. Basic
and diluted (loss) per common share is the same for periods in
which the Company reported an operating loss because all warrants
and stock options outstanding are anti-dilutive. At June 30, 2017
and 2016, we excluded 124,347,592 and
165,817,654,
respectively, shares of Common
Stock equivalents as their effect would have been
anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Except
as noted below, 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.
In
May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts
with Customers: Topic 606. This ASU outlines a single comprehensive
model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from
contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue
recognition guidance. This accounting standard is effective for
annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017,
including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.
Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact this accounting standard will have on the Company's
financial statements.
On February 25, 2016, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 2016-2, “Leases” (Topic 842),
which is intended to improve financial reporting for lease
transactions. This ASU will require organizations that lease
assets, such as real estate, airplanes and manufacturing equipment,
to recognize on their balance sheet the assets and liabilities for
the rights to use those assets for the lease term and obligations
to make lease payments created by those leases that have terms of
greater than 12 months. The recognition, measurement, and
presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a
lessee primarily will depend on its classification as finance or
operating lease. This ASU will also require disclosures to help
investors and other financial statement users better understand the
amount and timing of cash flows arising from leases. These
disclosures will include qualitative and quantitative requirements,
providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the
financial statements. The ASU is effective for the Company for the
year ending December 31, 2019 and interim reporting periods within
that year, and early adoption is permitted. Management has not yet
determined the effect of this ASU on the Company's financial
statements.
In August 2016, FASB issued ASU No.
2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of
Certain Cash Receipts and Cash
Payments,” (“ASU 2016-15”) which eliminates the diversity in
practice related to the classification of certain cash receipts and
payments. ASU 2016-15 designates the appropriate cash flow
classification, including requirements to allocate certain
components of these cash receipts and payments among operating,
investing and financing activities. The retrospective transition
method, requiring adjustment to all comparative periods presented,
is required unless it is impracticable for some of the amendments,
in which case those amendments would be prospectively adopted as of
the earliest date practicable. ASU 2016-15 is effective for the
Company’s annual and interim reporting periods beginning
January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effect
this guidance will have on our financial statements and related
disclosures.
In
November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash
Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of
cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of
cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as
restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. ASU 2016-18 will
become effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2019, or
fiscal 2019. ASU 2016-18 is required to be applied retrospectively.
Upon the adoption, amounts described as restricted cash will be
included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the
beginning-of-period and end-of-period amounts shown on the
statements of cash flows.
NOTE 2 — SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Securities
Our authorized capital
stock currently consists of 300.0 million shares of Common Stock,

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series
B Preferred”),
200,000 shares have been designated as Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock (“Series
C Preferred”) and 50,000
shares have been designated as Series D Convertible Preferred Stock
(“Series
D Preferred”). Below is a
summary of the rights and preferences associated with each type of
security.
Common
Stock. The holders of Common

Company issued an aggregate total of 40,200 shares of Series D
Preferred for $100 per share as a part of a private placement of
shares of Series D Preferred (the “Series D
Financing”). As
additional consideration, investors in the Series D Financing
received warrants to purchase up to 53,600,014 shares of Common
Stock, an amount equal to 200% of the Series D Conversion Shares
issuable upon conversion of shares of Series D Preferred purchased
under the Series D Financing, exercisable for $0.15 per share. In
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase
Agreement executed in connection with the Series D Financing, all

NOTE 5 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The
Company leases its corporate office in Irvine, California on a
one-year term. The current lease term is set to expire on September
30, 2017. Total rent expense related to the Company's operating
lease for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $29,490. Total
remaining payments on the lease through September 30, 2017 are
$14,229.
The
Company maintains employment agreements with certain key members of
management. The agreements provide for minimum base salaries,
eligibility for stock options, performance bonuses and severance
payments.
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.
We
are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could
have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or
results of operations.
NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The
application of fair value measurements may be on a recurring or
nonrecurring basis depending on the accounting principles
applicable to the specific asset or liability or whether management
has elected to carry the item at its estimated fair value. FASB ASC
820-10-35 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on
whether the inputs to those techniques are observable or
unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from
independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the
Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs
create the following fair value hierarchy:
-
Level
1: Observable inputs such as
quoted prices in active markets;
-
Level
2: Inputs, other than the
quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either
directly or indirectly; and
-
Level
3: Unobservable inputs in which
there is little or no market data, which require the reporting
entity to develop its own assumptions.
This
hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when
available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when
estimating fair value.
The Company assesses its recurring fair value
measurements as defined by FASB ASC 810. Liabilities measured at
estimated fair value on a recurring basis include derivative
liabilities. Transfers between fair value classifications occur
when there are changes in pricing observability levels. Transfers
of financial liabilities among the levels occur at the beginning of
the reporting period. There were no transfers
between Level 1, Level 2 and/or Level 3 during the six months ended
June 30, 2017. The Company had no Level 1 or 2 fair value
measurements at June 30, 2017 or December 31,
2016.
The
following table presents the estimated fair value of financial
liabilities measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis

NOTE 7 – LICENSING AGREEMENTS
We first entered into licensing agreements with
Disney Consumer Products, Inc. (“Disney”) and an 18-month licensing agreement with
Marvel Characters, B.V. (“Marvel”) (collectively, the
“Licensing
Agreements”) in 2012.
Each Licensing Agreement allows us to feature popular Disney and
Marvel characters on AquaBall®
Naturally Flavored Water, allowing
AquaBall®
to stand out among other beverages
marketed towards children. Under the terms and conditions of the
Licensing Agreements, we work with the Disney and Marvel teams to
create colorful, eye-catching labels that surround the entire
spherical shape of each AquaBall®.
Once the label designs are approved, we work with Disney and Marvel
to set retail calendars, rotating the placement of different
AquaBall®
designs over the course of the
year.
In March 2017, the Company and Disney entered
into a renewed Licensing Agreement, which extended the
Company’s license with Disney through March 31, 2019. The
terms of the Disney Agreement entitle Disney to receive a royalty
rate of 5% on sales of AquaBall®
Naturally Flavored Water adorned with
Disney characters, paid quarterly, with a total guarantee of
$807,000 over the period from April 1, 2017 through March 31, 2019.
In addition, the Company is required to make a ‘common
marketing fund’ contribution equal to 1% of sales due
annually during the agreement.
On August 22, 2015, the
Company and Marvel entered
into a renewed Licensing Agreement to extend the Company's license
to feature certain
Marvel characters on bottles of AquaBall® Naturally
Flavored Water through December 31, 2017. The Marvel Agreement requires the Company to pay
to Marvel a 5% royalty rate
on sales of AquaBall® Naturally Flavored Water adorned with
Marvel characters, paid quarterly, through December 31, 2017, with
a total guarantee of $200,000 over the period from January 1, 2016
through December 31, 2017.
NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES
The Company does not
have significant income tax expense or benefit for the six months
ended June 30, 2017 or 2016. Tax net operating loss carryforwards
have resulted in a net deferred tax asset with a 100% valuation
allowance applied against such asset at June 30, 2017 and 2016.
Such tax net operating loss carryforwards
(“NOL”) approximated
$35.5 million at June 30, 2017. Some or all of such NOL may be
limited by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue
Code.
The income tax effect of temporary differences between financial
and tax reporting and net operating loss carryforwards gives rise
to a deferred tax asset at June 30, 2017 and 2016 as
follows:

NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Secured Note Financing
On July 26, 2017, the Company commenced an
offering of Senior Secured Promissory Notes (the
“Secured Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of up
to $1.5 million to certain accredited investors (the
“Secured Note
Financing”). As
additional consideration for participating in the Secured Note
Financing, investors will receive five-year warrants, exercisable
for $0.15 per share, to purchase that number of shares of the
Company’s Common Stock equal to 50% of the principal amount
of the Secured Note purchased, divided by $0.15 per share. Between
July 26, 2017 and July 31, 2017, the Company offered and sold
Secured Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $750,000 and
issued Warrants to purchase up to 2.5 million shares of Common
Stock to participating investors.
The
Secured Notes (i) bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, (ii)
have a maturity date of 1.5 years from the date of issuance, and
(iii) are subject to a pre-payment and change in control premium of
125% of the principal amount of the Secured Notes at the time of
pre-payment or change in control, as the case may be. To secure the
Company’s obligations under the Secured Notes, the Company
granted to participating investors a continuing security interest
in substantially all of the Company’s assets pursuant to the
terms and conditions of a Security Agreement (the “Security
Agreement”).
Management has
reviewed and evaluated subsequent events and transactions occurring
after the balance sheet date through the filing of this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q and determined that, except as disclosed
herein, no subsequent events occurred.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains
“forward-looking” statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend
to identify forward-looking statements in this report by using
words such as “believes,” “intends,”
“expects,” “may,” “will,”
“should,” “plan,” “projected,”
“contemplates,” “anticipates,”
“estimates,” “predicts,”
“potential,” “continue,” or similar
terminology. These statements are based on our beliefs as well as
assumptions we made using information currently available to us. We
undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events, or otherwise. Because these statements reflect our
current views concerning future events, these statements involve
risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Actual future results may
differ significantly from the results discussed in the
forward-looking statements. These risks include changes in demand
for our products, changes in the level of operating expenses, our
ability to expand our network of customers, changes in general
economic conditions that impact consumer behavior and spending,
product supply, the availability, amount, and cost of capital to us
and our use of such capital, and other risks discussed in this
report. Additional risks that may affect our performance are
discussed under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2016.
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of
operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed
consolidated financial statements included elsewhere within this
Quarterly Report. Fluctuations in annual and quarterly results may
occur as a result of factors affecting demand for our products such
as the timing of new product introductions by us and by our
competitors and our customers’ political and budgetary
constraints. Due to such fluctuations, historical results and
percentage relationships are not necessarily indicative of the
operating results for any future period.
Overview
True Drinks Holdings, Inc., the holding company
for True Drinks, Inc., is a healthy beverage provider which
produces several unique products. Our flagship product is
AquaBall® Naturally Flavored Water which we believe to be the
healthiest children's beverage on the market. True Drinks has
licensing agreements with Disney Consumer Products, Inc.
(“Disney”) and Marvel Characters, B.V.
(“Marvel”) for use of their characters on bottles of
AquaBall®. AquaBall® is a naturally flavored,
vitamin-enhanced, zero-calorie, preservative-free, dye-free,
sugar-free alternative to juice and soda. AquaBall® is
currently available in four flavors: fruit punch, grape, strawberry
lemonade and berry. Our target consumers: kids, young adults, and
their guardians, are attracted to the product by the entertainment
and media characters on the bottle and continue to consume the
beverage because of its health benefits and great taste. True
Drinks Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”, “us” or “we”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada
in January 2001 and is the holding company for True Drinks, Inc.
(“True Drinks”), a beverage company incorporated in the
state of Delaware in January 2012.
We
distribute AquaBall® nationally through select retail
channels, such as grocery stores, mass merchandisers, convenience
stores and online. We also market and distribute Bazi® All
Natural Energy, a liquid nutritional supplement drink, which is
currently distributed online and through our existing database of
customers.
True
Drinks is continuing to innovate to meet the healthy hydration
demands of the American consumer. Health and wellness awareness has
increased significantly, resulting in growing demand for beverages
with little or no calories and natural ingredients. AquaBall®
is directly responsive to this need for children and we plan to
increase our offerings for this and other age groups.
Our
strategy is to continue to (i) grow our presence - both in store
and online - and continue to build out our distribution network,
(ii) increase brand awareness though public relations, social media
and guerrilla marketing and (iii) expand our platform through line
extensions.
Sales
of beverages tend to be seasonal with the highest volume typically
realized during the summer and warmer months. However, as our sales
velocity and distribution has been increasing over the year this
trend may not apply to us. As a result, our operating results from
one fiscal quarter to the next may not be comparable. Additionally,
our operating results are affected by numerous factors, including
changes in consumer preference for beverage products, competitive
pricing in the marketplace and weather conditions.
Our principal place of business is 18662 MacArthur
Boulevard, Suite 110, Irvine, California, 92612. Our telephone
number is (949) 203-3500. Our corporate website address is
http://www.truedrinks.com. Our common stock, par value $0.001 per
share (“Common
Stock”), is currently
listed for quotation on the OTC Pink Marketplace under the symbol
“TRUU.”
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. 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,
2016.
Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 to the Three
Months Ended June 30, 2016.
Net Sales
Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2017
were $1,934,953, compared with sales of $482,969
for the three months ended June 30,
2016, a 301% increase. This increase is primarily the result
of chain authorizations secured by our sales team for shelf resets
at retailers beginning in February 2017 and continuing through June
2017. These authorizations have also allowed our team to secure
distributor partners in 45 states. Many of these distributors
received their initial shipments in February and March, with the
remaining distributors having received their initial shipments in
April through June. Our
marketing and sales teams are now focused on increasing brand
awareness and improving velocities moving through our current
retailers, as well as adding new placements with strategic
accounts.
The
percentage that each product category represented of our net sales
is as follows:

Gross Profit (Loss) and Gross Margin
Gross profit for the three months ended June
30, 2017 was $709,700, compared to gross loss of $39,734 for the
three months ended June 30, 2016. Gross profit as a percentage
of revenue (gross margin) during the three months ended June 30,
2017 was 37%, compared to negative 8% for the same period in
2016. This increase in gross profit is a great improvement for
our Company, and is a direct result of our relationship with
Niagara Bottling, LLC (“Niagara”) who provides finished goods to the
Company and bills the Company for the product as it is shipped to
customers, reducing our costs and improving product quality. It is
also attributable to our shift away from focusing on the low-margin
club channel to mainstream grocery and convenience channels. We
expect to maintain gross margins in the 30-40% range moving
forward.
Sales, General and Administrative Expense
Sales,
general and administrative expenses were $3,094,996 for the three
months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $2,617,039 for the three
months ended June 30, 2016. This period over period increase of
$477,957 is the result of increased direct selling expenses and
marketing expenses at new retailers, each resulting from the first
quarter of 2017 being a much more active selling season for
AquaBall® as we continue to introduce our new
preservative-free product to the marketplace. As a percentage of
sales, sales, general and administrative expense was 160% of sales
compared to 542% in the same period in 2016. This figure will
continue to improve as we move past introductory expenses incurred
while introducing our brand and our new, preservative free
formulation of Aqua Ball® to new retailers and
distributors.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities
The Company recorded a change in fair value of
derivative liabilities of a loss of $4,168 for the three months
ended June 30, 2017, as compared to a loss of $1,164,905
for the change in fair value of
derivative liabilities for the three months ended June 30,
2016.
Interest Expense
Interest
expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $24,432, as
compared to interest expense of $16,990 for the three months ended
June 30, 2016.
Income Taxes
There
is no income tax expense recorded for the three months ended June
30, 2017 and 2016, as the Company’s calculated provision
(benefit) for income tax is based on annual expected tax rates. As
of June 30, 2017, the Company has tax net operating loss
carryforwards and a related deferred tax asset, offset by a full
valuation allowance.
Net Loss
Our net loss for the three months ended June 30,
2017 was $2,413,896 as compared to a net loss of
$3,838,668
for the three months ended June 30,
2016. This year-over-year improvement of approximately $1.4 million
is due to an increase of almost $0.75 million in gross profit, and
$1.2 million in other income partially offset by an increase in
operating expenses of approximately $0.4 million. On a per share
basis, our loss was $0.01 per share for the three months ended June
30, 2017, as compared to a loss of $0.03 per share for the three
months ended June 30, 2016.
Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 to the Six Months
Ended June 30, 2016.
Net Sales
Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2016
were $3,464,705, compared with sales of $1,066,267 for the six
months ended June 30, 2016, a 225% increase. The increase in
sales for the three months ended June 30, 2017 is primarily the
result of chain authorizations secured by our sales team for reset
of accounts beginning in February 2017 and continuing through June
2017. These authorizations have also allowed our team to secure
distributor partners in 45 states. Many of these distributors
received their initial shipments in February and March, with the
remaining distributors having received their initial shipments in
April through June. Our

Gross Profit (Loss) and Gross Margin
Gross profit
for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $1,264,840, compared to
gross loss of $189,847 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.
Gross profit as a percentage of revenue (gross margin) during
the six months ended June 30, 2017 was 37%. This increase in
gross profit is a great improvement for our Company, and is a
direct result of our relationship with Niagara Bottling who
provides finished goods to the Company and bills the Company for
the product as it is shipped to customers, reducing our costs and
improving product quality. It is also attributable to our shift
away from focusing on the low-margin club channel to the mainstream
grocery and convenience channels. We expect to maintain margins in
the 30-40% range moving forward.
Sales, General and Administrative Expense
Sales,
general and administrative expenses were $6,096,435 for the six
months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $4,754,302 for the six
months ended June 30, 2016. This increase was due to increased
marketing expenditures and direct selling expenses related to sales
during the 2017 period. As a percentage of sales, our sales,
general and administrative expense was 176% of sales compared to
446% in the same period in 2016. This figure will continue to
improve as we move past introductory expenses incurred while
introducing our brand and our new, preservative free formulation of
Aqua Ball® to new retailers and distributors.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities
The
Company recorded a gain on the change in fair value of derivative
liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 of $2,239,350,
as compared to a loss of $25,540 for the change in fair value of
derivative liabilities for the six months ended June 30,
2016.
Interest Income
Interest
expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $44,917, as
compared to interest expense of $29,204 for the six months ended
June 30, 2016.
Income Taxes
There
is no income tax expense recorded for the six months ended June 30,
2017 and 2016, due to the Company's net losses. As of June 30,
2017, the Company has tax net operating loss carryforwards and a
related deferred tax asset, offset by a full valuation
allowance.
Net Loss
Our
net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $2,684,170 as
compared to a net loss of $5,017,816 for the six months ended June
30, 2016. This year-over-year improvement of approximately $2.3
million in net income is due to an increase in gross profit of
approximately $1.45 million and $2.2 million in other income
partially offset by an increase in operating expenses of about $1.3
million. On a per share basis, our loss was $0.02 per share for the
six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to a loss of $0.05 per
share for the six months ended June 30, 2016.
We expect to continue to incur a net loss in subsequent periods,
and plan to fund our operations using proceeds received from
capital raising activities until our operations become profitable.
Although we anticipate a continued growth in sales and gross
margins as a result of increased velocity, distribution and brand
awareness these increases may not occur, may take longer than
anticipated, or may not be sufficient to produce net income in any
subsequent quarters.
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,
2016, 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. For the six months ended June 30, 2017,
the Company had a net loss of $2,684,170, negative working capital
of $266,638, and an accumulated deficit of $38,478,376. Although,
during the year ended December 31, 2016 and the six-months ended
June 30, 2017 the Company raised approximately $10.0 million from
financing activities, including sale of shares of Series C
Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D Convertible Preferred
Stock, additional capital will 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/or debt
offerings 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
cash flow provided by sales of its products. Despite recent sales
of preferred stock as described below, funds generated from sales
of shares of our preferred stock or other equity or debt
securities, and cash flow provided by 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. In the event we are unable to obtain
additional financing in the next year, we may not be able to fund
our working capital requirements, and therefore may be unable to
continue as a going concern.
Recent Capital Raising Activity
January 2016 Note
Exchange. On January 20, 2016,
the Company and holders of senior subordinated secured promissory
notes (“Secured
Notes”) in
the principal amount of $500,000 entered into Note Exchange
Agreements pursuant to which the holders agreed to convert the
outstanding principal balance of their Secured Notes into an
aggregate total of 4,413 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred
Stock (“Series C
Preferred”) and warrants
to purchase up to an agate total of 1,029,413 shares of Common
Stock for $0.17 per share. Neither holder received warrants to
purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock in connection
with their respective Secured Notes, and agreed to waive any unpaid
interest accrued under the Secured Notes prior to the execution of
the Note Exchange Agreement.
April 2016 Series C
Offering. On April 13, 2016,
the Company and Red Beard Holdings, LLC (“Red Beard”) entered into a Securities Purchase
Agreement, pursuant to which Red Beard agreed to purchase an
aggregate total of 50,000 shares of Series C Preferred for $100 per
share over the course of two closings. The Company issued 25,000
shares of Series C Preferred to Red Beard on April 13, 2016. As
additional consideration, investors will receive five-year warrants
to purchase up to an aggregate total of approximately 33.3 million
shares of Common Stock for $0.15 per share. On April 13, 2016, the
Company issued to Red Beard warrants to purchase approximately 16.7
million shares of Common Stock.
On
July 13, 2016, the Securities Purchase Agreement was amended to
modify the closing schedule for the remaining 25,000 shares of
Series C Preferred to be purchased. As amended, 10,000 shares of
Series C Preferred were purchased on July 15, 2016, and the
remaining 25,000 shares were purchased between August 31, 2016 and
September 13, 2016.
Series D Offering and Warrant
Exchange. On February 8, 2017,
the Company and certain accredited investors entered into
Securities Purchase Agreements, for the private placement of up to
50,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock
(“Series D
Preferred”) for $100 per
share. As additional consideration for participation in the private
placement, investors received warrants to purchase up to 200% of
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of
Series D Preferred purchased, with an exercise price of $0.15 per
share (the “Series D
Financing”).
In
February 2017, the Company issued an aggregate total of 31,750
shares of Series D Preferred, as well as warrants to purchase up to
an aggregate total of 42,333,341 shares of Common Stock. Between
February 2017 and March 2017, the Company issued an additional
5,000 shares of Series D Preferred and warrants to purchase up to
an aggregate total of 6,666,669 shares of Common Stock. Between
April 1, 2017 and May 17, 2017, the Company has issued an
additional 3,450 shares of Series D Preferred and warrants to
purchase up to an aggregate total of 2,300,002 shares of Common
Stock. The issuance of the shares of Series D Preferred during the
six months ended June 30, 2017 resulted in gross proceeds to the
Company of $4.02 million. Each warrant issued during the Series D
Financing contains a price protection feature that adjusts the
exercise price in the event of certain dilutive issuances of
securities. Such price protection feature is determined to be a
derivative liability and, as such, the value of all such warrants
issued during the six months, totaling $2,381,931, was recorded to
derivative liabilities.
Warrant Exchange.
Beginning on February 8, 2017, the
Company and certain holders of outstanding Common Stock purchase
warrants (the “Outstanding
Warrants”), entered into
Warrant Exchange Agreements, pursuant to which each holder agreed to cancel
their respective Outstanding Warrants in exchange for one-half of a
share of Common Stock for every share of Common Stock otherwise
issuable upon exercise of Outstanding Warrants. The Company expects
to issue up to 79.0 million shares of Common Stock in exchange for
the cancellation of 158.0 million Outstanding Warrants, including
the Warrants issued in connection with the Series D Financing, over
the course of the Warrant Exchange Program.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company issued 75,406,468
shares of Common Stock in exchange for the cancellation of
150,812,909 Outstanding Warrants.
Off-Balance Sheet Items
We
had no off-balance sheet items as of June 30, 2017.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not a required disclosure for smaller reporting
companies.
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 (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.
We
are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could
have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or
results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding,
inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board,
government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or,
to the knowledge of the executive officers of the Company or any of
our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company, or
our Common Stock in which an adverse decision could have a material
adverse effect.
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, 2016, filed on
March 31, 2017. 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 June 30, 2017, there have been the following
changes to the disclosures made in the above-referenced Form
10-K.
We may not be able to satisfy recently incurred debt obligations
when due.
We recently issued Senior Secured Promissory Notes
(the “Secured
Notes”) in the aggregate
principal amount of $750,000, which Secured Notes will mature in
January 2019. Additionally, we granted the holders of the Secured
Notes a continuing security interest in substantially all of our
assets to secure our obligations under the Secured
Notes.
If we are unable to successfully execute our
business and marketing plan, we may not achieve profitability, and
may not be able to satisfy our obligations under the Secured Notes
when due, or otherwise satisfy the debt covenants. We may seek
additional financing to satisfy our obligations, which financing
may not be available on a timely basis, on terms that are
acceptable or at all. Failure to meet our obligations under the
Secured Notes, including paying off the Secured Notes when it
becomes due and payable would result in a default of the Secured
Notes, which default would have a material
adverse effect our business, results of operations and financial
condition, and therefore threaten our financial
viability.
Substantially all
of our assets are pledged to secure obligations under our
outstanding indebtedness.
We
have granted a continuing security interest in substantially all of
our assets to the holders of the Secured Notes we issued in July
2017 as security for our obligations under the Secured Notes. If we
default on any of our obligations under the Secured Notes, the
holders of the Secured Notes will be entitled to exercise remedies
available to them resulting from such default, including increasing
the applicable interest rate on all amounts outstanding under the
Secured Notes, declaring all amounts due thereunder immediately due
and payable, assuming control of the pledged assets. Our results of
operations and financial condition would be materially harmed as a
result of the Secured Note holders’ exercise of their
remedies in the event of a default.
