2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Interim Financial
Statements

statements and footnotes thereto included in our Form 10-K Report for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2008.
NOTE
3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Significant accounting policies are as follows:
Principle of
Consolidation
We
prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation
of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our
management periodically evaluates the estimates and judgments made. Management
bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various
factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual
results may differ from these estimates as a result of different assumptions or
conditions.
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. These estimates and assumptions also affect
the reported amounts of revenues, costs and expenses during the reporting
period. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on a
regular basis. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
These
estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of revenues, costs
and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates these
estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenue
includes product sales. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales in
accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statement” which is at the time customers are invoiced at shipping
point, provided title and risk of loss has passed to the customer, evidence of
an arrangement exists, fees are contractually fixed or determinable, collection
is reasonably assured through historical collection results and regular credit
evaluations, and there are no uncertainties regarding customer
acceptance.
Accounts
Receivable
Substantially
all of the Company’s accounts receivable balance is relate to trade receivables.
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear
interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of
the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The
Company will maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses
resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments for
products. Accounts with known financial issues are first reviewed and specific
estimates are recorded. The remaining accounts receivable balances are then
grouped in categories by the amount of days the balance is past due, and the
estimated loss is calculated as a percentage of the total category based upon
past history. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when it is
probable the receivable will not be recovered. No allowance for doubtful
accounts and bad debts were written off in March 31, 2009 and 2008 as the
Company was a development stage company.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2009, cash
and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in the bank.
Inventory
The
Company inventory is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value using
the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. The Company evaluates the
need to record adjustments for inventory on a regular basis. Our
policy is to evaluate all inventories including raw material (component), and
finished goods. These inventories consisted of energy drinks, pain
relief, and weight loss products. At March 31, 209, the value of the
Company’s inventory was $ 1,788,753 and $1,984,245 at December 31, 2008,
respectively.
Property and
Equipment
Property
and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful
lives of the assets using principally the straight-line method. When items are
retired or otherwise disposed of, income is charged or credited for the
difference between net book value and proceeds realized. Ordinary
maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and replacements and
betterments are capitalized.
The range
of estimated useful lives used to calculated depreciation for principal items of
property and equipment are as follow:

Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets
The
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS No.”) No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets, effective July 1, 2002. In accordance with SFAS No.
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," goodwill, represents the excess of
the purchase price and related costs over the value assigned to net tangible and
identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired and accounted for under
the purchase method, acquired in business combinations is assigned to reporting
units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination as of
the acquisition date. Under this standard, goodwill and intangibles with
indefinite useful lives are no longer amortized. The Company assesses
goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually during
the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate
impairment may have occurred in accordance with SFAS No. 142. If the carrying
value of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, the Company
records an impairment loss equal to the difference. SFAS No. 142 also requires
that the fair value of indefinite-lived purchased intangible assets be estimated
and compared to the carrying value. The Company recognizes an impairment loss
when the estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived purchased intangible
assets is less than the carrying value. The Company has
recorded goodwill associated with the acquisition of NDS Nutritional Products,
Inc. in the amount of $2,190,000 and has recognized no impairment loss as of
March 31, 2009.
Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets
In
accordance with SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and
equipment, and purchased intangibles, are reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable. Goodwill and other intangible assets are tested for
impairment. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured
by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted
future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount
of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is
recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the
fair value of the asset. There were no events or changes in
circumstances that necessitated an impairment of long lived assets.
Income
Taxes
Deferred
income taxes are provided based on the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes" ("SFAS No. 109"), to reflect the tax consequences in future
years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates
applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect
taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary
to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be
realized.
Concentration of Credit
Risk
The
Company maintains its operating cash balances in banks in Solana Beach,
California and Omaha Nebraska. The Federal Depository Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) insures accounts at each institution up to
$250,000.
Earnings Per
Share
Basic
earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution
that could occur if stock options, warrants, and other commitments to issue
common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of
common stock that could share in the earnings of the
Company.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
The fair
value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be
exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a
forced sale or liquidation.
The
carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities, income tax payable and related party
payable approximate fair value due to their most maturities.
Reclassification
Certain
prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year
presentations.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Recent
accounting pronouncements that the Company has adopted or that will be required
to adopt in the future are summarized below.
Disclosures
by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and
Interests in Variable Interest Entities
In
December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 140-4 and FIN No. 46(R) -8,
“Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial
Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities.” This FSP amends
SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishments of Liabilities,” to require public entities to provide
additional disclosures about transfers of financials assets. FSP FAS
No. 140-4 also amends FIN No. 46(R)-8, “Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities,” to require public enterprises, including sponsors that have a
variable interest entity, to provide additional disclosures about their
involvement with a variable interest entity. FSP FAS No. 140-4 also
requires certain additional disclosures, in regards to variable interest
entities, to provide greater transparency to financial statement
users. FSP FAS No. 140-4 is effective for the first reporting period
(interim or annual) ending after December 15, 2008, with early application
encouraged. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FSP FAS
No. 140-4 on its consolidated financial position and results of
operations.
Accounting
for an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) with a Settlement Amount That is
Based on the Stock of an Entity’s Consolidated Subsidiary
In
November 2008, the FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No.
08-8, “Accounting for an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) with a Settlement
Amount that is based on the Stock of an Entity’s Consolidated
Subsidiary.” EITF No. 08-8 clarifies whether a financial instrument
for which the payoff to the counterparty is based, in whole or in part, on the
stock of an entity’s consolidated subsidiary is indexed to the reporting
entity’s own stock. EITF No. 08-8 also clarifies whether or not stock
should be precluded from qualifying for the scope exception of SFAS No. 133,
“Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” or from being
within the scope of EITF No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial
Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own
Stock.” EITF No. 08-8 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or
after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of EITF No. 08-8
on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Accounting
for Defensive Intangible Assets
In
November 2008, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 08-7, “Accounting for Defensive
Intangible Assets.” EITF No. 08-7 clarifies how to account for
defensive intangible assets subsequent to initial measurement. EITF
No. 08-7 applies to all defensive intangible assets except for intangible assets
that are used in research and development activities. EITF No. 08-7
is effective for intangible assets acquired on or after the beginning of the
first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15,
2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of EITF No. 08-7
on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Equity
Method Investment Accounting Considerations
In
November 2008, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 08-6 (“EITF No. 08-6”), “Equity
Method Investment Accounting Considerations.” EITF No. 08-6 clarifies
accounting for certain transactions and impairment considerations involving the
equity method. Transactions and impairment dealt with are initial
measurement, decrease in investment value, and change in level of ownership or
degree of influence. EITF No. 08-6 is effective on a prospective
basis for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The
Company is currently assessing the impact of EITF No. 08-6 on its consolidated
financial position and results of operations.
Determining
the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not
Active
In
October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of
a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active.” This
FSP clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” in a
market that is not active. The FSP also provides examples for
determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that
financial asset is not active. FSP FAS No. 157-3 was effective upon
issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been
issued. The impact of adoption was not material to the Company’s
consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Issuer’s
Accounting for Liabilities Measured at Fair Value with a Third-Party Credit
Enhancement
In
September 2008, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 08-5 (“EITF No. 08-5”), “Issuer’s
Accounting for Liabilities Measured at Fair Value with a Third-Party Credit
Enhancement.” This FSP determines an issuer’s unit of accounting for
a liability issued with an inseparable third-party credit enhancement when it is
measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis. FSP EITF
No. 08-5 is effective on a prospective basis in the first reporting period
beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently
assessing the impact of FSP EITF No. 08-5 on its consolidated financial position
and results of operations.
Disclosures
about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement
No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date
of FASB Statement No. 161
In
September 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 133-1, “Disclosures about Credit
Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and
FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 161.” This FSP amends FASB Statement No. 133,
“Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to require
disclosures by sellers of credit derivatives, including credit derivatives
embedded in a hybrid instrument. The FSP also amends FASB
Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for
Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others,” to require
and additional disclosure about the current status of the payment/performance
risk of a guarantee. Finally, this FSP clarifies the Board’s intent
about the effective date of FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” FSP FAS No. 133-1 is
effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2008. The
Company is currently assessing the impact of FSP FAS No. 133-1 on its
consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Determining
Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are
Participating Securities
In
June 2008, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 03-6-1, “Determining Whether
Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating
Securities.” EITF No. 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in
share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting
and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing
earnings per share under the two-class method. The EITF 03-6-1 affects entities
that accrue dividends on share-based payment awards during the awards’ service
period when the dividends do not need to be returned if the employees forfeit
the award. EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of EITF
03-6-1 on its consolidated financial position and results of
operations.
Determining
Whether an Instrument (or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an entity's Own
Stock
In June
2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-5, "Determining Whether an Instrument
(or an Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock.” EITF
07-5 provides that an entity should use a two step approach to evaluate whether
an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its
own stock, including evaluating the instrument's contingent exercise and
settlement provisions. It also clarifies on the impact of foreign
currency denominated strike prices and market-based employee stock option
valuation instruments on the evaluation. EITF 07-5 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is
currently assessing the impact of EITF 07-5 on its consolidated financial
position and results of operations.
Accounting
for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion
(Including Partial Cash Settlement)
In
May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion
No. 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be
Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement).” The FSP
clarifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in
cash (including partial cash settlement) upon conversion. The FSP
requires issuers to account separately for the liability and equity components
of certain convertible debt instruments in a manner that reflects the issuer's
nonconvertible debt (unsecured debt) borrowing rate when interest cost is
recognized. The FSP requires bifurcation of a component of the debt,
classification of that component in equity and the accretion of the resulting
discount on the debt to be recognized as part of interest expense in our
consolidated statement of operations. The FSP requires retrospective
application to the terms of instruments as they existed for all periods
presented. The FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008 and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is
currently evaluating the potential impact of FSP APB 14-1 upon its consolidated
financial statements.
The
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of
accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the
preparation of financial statements. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60
days following the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity
with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles". The implementation of
this standard will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
financial position and results of operations.
Determination
of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets
In April
2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets”, which amends the factors that should be considered in
developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of
intangible assets under SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets”. The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the
useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period
of the expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under
SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) “Business Combinations” and other U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. The Company is currently
evaluating the potential impact of FSP FAS No. 142-3 on its consolidated
financial statements.
Disclosure
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosure about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of SFAS No.
133.” This statement requires that objectives for using derivative instruments
be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. The Company
is required to adopt SFAS No. 161 on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently
evaluating the potential impact of SFAS No. 161 on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
Delay
in Effective Date
In
February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 157”. This FSP delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for
all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are
recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually)
to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods
within those fiscal years. The impact of adoption was not material to the
Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of
operations.
Business
Combinations
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R) “Business
Combinations.” This Statement replaces the original SFAS No.
141. This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS
No. 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS No. 141
called the purchase
method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be
identified for each business combination. The objective of SFAS No. 141(R) is to
improve the relevance, and comparability of the information that a reporting
entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its
effects. To accomplish that, SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and
requirements for how the acquirer:
a.
|
Recognizes
and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired,
the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the
acquiree.
|
b.
|
Recognizes
and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain
from a bargain purchase.
|
c.
|
Determines
what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements
to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business
combination.
|
This
Statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the
acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting
period beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and may not be applied before
that date. The Company is unable at this time to determine the effect that its
adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will have on its consolidated results of operations
and financial condition.
Noncontrolling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No.
51
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51.” This
Statement amends the original Accounting Review Board (ARB) No. 51 “Consolidated
Financial Statements” to establish accounting and reporting standards for the
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an
ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity
in the consolidated financial statements. This Statement is effective for fiscal
years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after
December 15, 2008 and may not be applied before that date. The
Company is unable at this time to determine the effect that its adoption of SFAS
No. 160 will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial
condition.
Fair
Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of SFAS No.
115,” which becomes effective for the Company on February 1, 2008, permits
companies to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other
items at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses in earnings. Such
accounting is optional and is generally to be applied instrument by instrument.
The election of this fair-value option did not have a material effect on its
consolidated financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or
disclosures.
Fair
Value Measurements
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value
Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 provides guidance for using fair value to
measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 addresses the requests
from investors for expanded disclosure about the extent to which companies’
measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure
fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. SFAS No. 157
applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be
measured at fair value, and does not expand the use of fair value in any new
circumstances. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and was adopted by the Company in
the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. There was no material impact on the
Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition due to the
adoption of SFAS No. 157.
Accounting
Changes and Error Corrections
In May
2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,”
which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, "Accounting Changes," and SFAS No. 3,
"Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements - An Amendment of
APB Opinion No. 28”. SFAS No. 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and
reporting of accounting changes and error corrections, and it establishes
retrospective application, or the latest practicable date, as the required
method for reporting a change in accounting principle and the reporting of a
correction of an error. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and
corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 154 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 and
did not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and
financial condition.

The
Company valued the warrants using Black-Scholes option-pricing
model. The assumptions under Black Scholes are based on the market
value of the stock price at the time of issuance, the exercise price of the
warrants, life, volatility, risk free interest rate of the
warrants. The Black Scholes option-price model was the best
determinable value of the warrants that the Company “knew up front” when issuing
the warrants in accordance with EITF 96-18. The warrants had no
vesting schedule and could be exercised at the option of the parties receiving
the warrants until either terminated by contract or expiration. No
discounts were applied to the calculation through the Black Scholes option-price
model.”

ITEM
2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis contains various “forward looking statements” within the
meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
regarding future events or the future financial performance of the Company that
involve risks and uncertainties. Certain statements included in this Form 10-Q,
including, without limitation, statements related to anticipated cash flow
sources and uses, and words including but not limited to “anticipates”,
“believes”, “plans”, “expects”, “future” and similar statements or expressions,
identify forward looking statements. Any forward-looking statements herein are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties in the Company’s business, including
but not limited to, reliance on key customers and competition in its markets,
market demand, product performance, technological developments, maintenance of
relationships with key suppliers, difficulties of hiring or retaining key
personnel and any changes in current accounting rules, all of which may be
beyond the control of the Company. The Company adopted at management’s
discretion, the most conservative recognition of revenue based on the most
astringent guidelines of the SEC in terms of recognition of software licenses
and recurring revenue. Management will elect additional changes to revenue
recognition to comply with the most conservative SEC recognition on a forward
going accrual basis as the model is replicated with other similar markets (i.e.
SBDC). The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors,
including those set forth therein.
Forward-looking
statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our
actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from
those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors and risks
that could affect our results and achievements and cause them to materially
differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements include those
identified in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, as well as other factors that
we are currently unable to identify or quantify, but that may exist in the
future.
In
addition, the foregoing factors may affect generally our business, results of
operations and financial position. Forward-looking statements speak only as of
the date the statement was made. We do not undertake and specifically decline
any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Initial
Target Market: Energy
Product:
Fusion 6+ Hour Energy Boost
According
to the Beverage Marketing Corporation (2007), the market for energy drinks in
2006 exceeded $2.5 billion, which represented a 516% gain from
2000. (The category grew an additional 9% in 2008.) New
product introductions have numbered in the hundreds, accounted for a significant
percentage of the sales growth. The principal marketing channels in
2006 were convenience/gasoline stores (35.7%), mass merchandisers (16.5%), and
supermarkets (11.3%), with most of the growth occurring in mass merchandiser and
supermarket channels.
Energy
"Shots" have been particularly successful since their launch in 2004, rapidly
growing to 11.7% of total energy drink spending. Benefits include
convenient portability (small size), less carbohydrates and sugar than
full-sized drinks, added vitamins and minerals, easy consumption of the small
volume of liquid (two ounces), and no need for
refrigeration. Retailers enjoy the small footprint of the marketing
cubes, high margins, and rapid inventory turns. The small footprint
allows retailers to merchandise the shots in high-impulse
locations.
The
significance of being one of the first brands to market cannot be
overlooked. Energy Drinks began their popularity with products like
Red Bull in the late 1980’s. Although there are over 600 energy
drinks on the market today, it is estimated that Red Bull sold over 5 Billion
units in 2007. The concentrated 2 ounce energy shot drink began
approximately 3 years ago with about 60 brands in the category today; the first,
‘5 Hour Energy’ is expected to have had sales of well in excess of $100 million
for 2007. Bond launched its Fusion 6+ Hour Energy Boost at the
National Association of Convenience Stores in November of 2007 where it was
voted Best Taste.

are the Release Weight Loss line sold exclusively to GNC, the Professional
Muscular Development line sold exclusively to GNC, the Dr. Health line sold
exclusively to GNC, and the Infinite Labs product line sold through Distributors
and large retailers in the United States, Canada, and Europe.
NDS
Nutritional Products has a strong history and brings tremendous resources to our
organization. Established in 1998, NDS focuses its dynamic capabilities on
providing cutting-edge quality products in the weight loss, sports nutrition and
general health categories. Its emphasis is placed on the education of the
consumer in regards to the unique attributes of its diverse product line. Its
strength is in the health and nutrition channel, which will nicely complement
our current, rapidly growing retail distribution network in convenience stores
and mass. We have built this growing network through the introduction of our
first offering, the Fusion 6+ Hour 2 oz. Energy Shot.
NDS
Nutritional Products, Inc. is the first of what management believes
will be numerous acquisitions that will help us accomplish that goal. NDS is
strategically involved with the development of the next generation of
preventative health products, Fortified Foods and Beverages. Management believes
NDS is an appropriate fit for our company as we .anticipate, but cannot
guarantee, will immediately add significant revenue to our top line and be
accretive to our earnings next year. We have already begun to integrate NDS
distribution in the health and the nutrition channel alongside our rapidly
growing retail distribution network in convenience stores (C-stores). Not only
will the NDS acquisition allow us to add 40 additional SKUs in the fast growing
sports nutrition market for our International broker network, we have gained a
centralized infrastructure in Omaha, NE.
Competition
Management
anticipates that we will encounter competition in each market that we
enter. Patent and Trademark applications that cover new embodiments
of technology will be pursued wherever possible. While we cannot
assure that the patents and applications will block competitive products, they
should help us become a significant participant in the marketplace.
The
industry leader is Red Bull with annual sales of approximately $5
billion. The other leaders in the category include Monster,
(manufactured and distributed by Hanson Beverages), Rock Star, (now distributed
by Coca Cola along with its own brand ‘Full Throttle’), Amp, (manufactured and
distributed by Pepsi) and SoBe, (also manufactured and distributed by
Pepsi). To managements’ knowledge and observation, almost
all energy products are sold in 8 – 24 ounce cans. As of the end of
2007, there were more than 600 brands in the energy can drink business, with
close to 200 going out of business that year and 200 new entries to take their
place. Fusion is sold in a 2 ounce shot with the same ‘kick’ as a 24
ounce energy drink. This gives ‘Fusion’ a major advantage that is
stressed to the consumers in all marketing materials. Not only is it
easier to carry around a small bottle, vs. several cans, (which must stay cold),
but cans use science and technology from over ten years ago. Where
the energy can market is dominated by major brands with sales exceeding $500 mm
- $5 billion, the shot market only has approximately 30 brands, of which only
one, 5 Hour Energy, has sales exceeding $100 mm. Since 1995, there
have been great discoveries in energy producing nutrients. More
important, studies have clearly demonstrated that most ingredients are not
stable in normal carbonated beverage products and that the longer they stay in
contact with liquid, the less potent they become.
Marketing
Program
The
Company has worked hard to establish a ‘Premium’ Brand
image. Consistent with this has been the sponsorship of elite
athletes who have achieved champion status in their individual
specialties.
2008 -
L&M Racing: Competing in Supercross Motorcycle racing, L&M has two
racers, Chad Reed and Nathan Ramsey. For the 2008 season, Chad Reed
was the world champion winning 11 of 18 races. Nathan Ramsey placed

place overall. The Fusion logo was prominently displayed on jerseys,
motorcycles, the team rig and hats as well as the water bottle held on the
podium. Races were broadcast on Speed TV and CBS.
2008- –
Tara Dakides: Tara is recognized as the most accomplished female snowboarder
ever. She competes in numerous events every year including the Winter
X games which is broadcast on national television. In addition,
during the warmer months, Tara competes on the only all women Baja 1000 team and
CORR, (Champion Off Road Racing), seen on Speed TV and NBC. The
Fusion logo was prominently displayed on jerseys, her snowboard, the team rig,
hats and cars as well as the water bottle held on the podium.
2008 –
Steve McCann: Steve is a worldwide recognized BMX rider who competes in the Dew
Tour, the X Games, the US Open and several other events that are picked up by

as the water bottle held on the podium.
2008 -
Darrell Lanigan: Amazing Consistency Propelled Darrell Lanigan To First Career
World of Outlaws Late Model Series Championship In 2008. Lanigan’s
sparkling ’08 stats show two wins, 25 top-five and 36 top-10 finishes in 43
A-Mains, plus one fast time honor and 17 heat-race wins. He led 168 laps and
completed 2,254 of a possible 2,285 laps, with only three of the 31 laps he
missed coming in full-points races.
2008-2009
– Jason Ellis: Skate, MMA, Drift car and Radio personality. Jason
competes at several events throughout the year in his various disciplines, but
his greatest value to the Company comes as a radio personality on Sirius
Satellite radio where he can be heard Monday-Friday for 3 hours per day focusing
on Action Sports and the athletes who compete in them. His estimate
audience is 500K – 1 million listeners per day.
2008 –
“Ruthless” Robbie Lawler: Mixed Martial Arts, (MMA). Robbie is the
Elite XC Middleweight Champion having won his most recent match against Scott
Smith on CBS Saturday night fights, broadcast on July 26th
nationwide. The Fusion logo was prominently displayed on the middle
of his shorts where it could be seen for a good portion of the
fight.
Revenues
Revenue
from product sales is recognized upon shipment to customers at which time such
customers are invoiced. Units are shipped under the terms of FOB
shipping point when determination is made that collectibility is
probable. Revenues for services are recognized upon completion of the
services. For consulting services and other fee-for-service
arrangements, revenue is recognized upon completion of the
services. Our company has adopted the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, which provides guidance on
the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial
statements.
Results
of Operations
This increase in revenue was a direct
result in the growth in sales and marketing of the Company’s
products. The Company continued its focus on the integration
of the NDS/Infinite Labs Fusion sales teams. Fusion Premium Energy
built its distribution primarily through the convenience store channel and
FD&M, (Food, Drug and Mass). NDS/Infinite Labs has strong ties to the
specialty retail channels with its exclusive line of sports nutrition products
sold through GNC stores The Company began to see synergies in our
Military and sporting goods distribution.
Revenues
for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased to $2,507,893 from
$226,717 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. A ten-fold increase, future
revenue plans rely upon our ability to effectively introduce our products to our
target consumers, generate sales, and obtain contract manufacturing
opportunities.
Cost of
goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased to $1,801,034 as
compared to three months ended March 31, 2008 of $149,836. Our cost
of goods sold is directly related to the increase in our
sales. Management believes, but can provide no assurances the current
difficult economic climate will enable the Company to negotiate superior
supplier prices and terms throughout 2009.
General
and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased
to $546,475 from $393,936 for three months ended March 31, 2008. The
increase in general and administrative expenses relates to employing full time
employees and officers during 2008 rather than consultants, along with a
reduction in costs associated with the our status as a reporting company,
including costs associated with our filings with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission which matches with our overall business
plan. With the acquisition of NDS, we inherited a seasoned back
office with excellent administration skills. In January, we completed
the consolidation of all of our corporate operations to Omaha, NE and expect
this to further decrease the administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues.
Selling
and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 decreased to
$551,929 from $676,298 for three months ended March, 31, 2008. In
2008 we incurred heavy marketing expenses during the initial launch of our
Fusion products like athlete endorsements and multiples of trade shows that were
not part of our ongoing 2009 marketing program.
Depreciation and
amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased to $68,515 from
$9,172 for three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in
depreciation and amortization relates to the acquisition of new assets from
Nutrition Products, Inc. in the fourth quarter of the year.
We
incurred losses of approximately $460,061, and $1,076,779 for three months ended
March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008, respectively. During 2008 we made
major investments in building our products, brands and distribution, which will
not be recurring expenses going forward, but the results of which are reflected
in our increased revenues from quarter to quarter.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We have
maintained a minimum of three months of working capital since September of
2005. This reserve was intended to allow for an adequate amount of
time to secure additional funds from investors as needed. To date,
management has succeeded in securing capital as needed. Our monthly
cash requirement amount is approximately $125,000. During the three
months ended March 31, 2009, we sold 3,861,000 common shares for
$463,000.
Our cash
used in operating activities is $378,925 and $968,929 three months ended March
31, 2009 and 2008 respectively. The decrease is mainly attributable to the
decrease in operating expenses including inventory buildup during the prior
year.
Cash used
by investing activities was $0 and $1,175 three months ended March 31, 2009 and
2008, respectively. The decrease in asset was the decrease in the purchase of
assets for the Company.
Cash
provided by financing activities was $359,742 and $388,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease is due to a decrease
in raising funds from our shareholders to develop our products for sale in the
market. We sold common shares and received proceeds of $463,000 and
received proceeds from an affiliate of 52,000, and repaid our notes payables of
155, 258 the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to $388,000 in the
proceeds from the sale of our common stock three months ended 2008.
On April
20, 2009, under the terms and conditions of the Preferred Purchase Agreement, we
issued 78.3 Series B Shares to approximately 10 investors, resulting in gross
proceeds of $783,000.
On April
15, 2009, the Company entered into a twelve month Line of Credit Agreement with
U.S. Bancorp. Pursuant to this Line of Credit, the Company may draw down up Two
Hundred and Fifty-Thousand Dollars ($250,000) secured by the Company’s
inventory. Under the terms of the line of credit the Company will pay an annual
rate equal to 3.5% plus the one month Libor rate not to be less than
4.5%.
Critical
Accounting Policies
We
prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation
of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our
management periodically evaluates the estimates and judgments made. Management
bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various
factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual
results may differ from these estimates as a result of different assumptions or
conditions.

Most of our activity is the sale of our nutricutical products.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Scott
Landow 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 report. Based on that evaluation, Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective
such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii)
accumulated and communicated to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. A
controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives
of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide
absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any,
within a company have been detected.
Our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined
in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial
reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be
effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control
objectives. Furthermore, smaller reporting companies face additional
limitations. Smaller reporting companies employ fewer individuals and find it
difficult to properly segregate duties. Often, one or two individuals control
every aspect of the Company's operation and are in a position to override any
system of internal control. Additionally, smaller reporting companies tend to
utilize general accounting software packages that lack a rigorous set of
software controls.
Our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the
Company's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2009. In
making this assessment, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control -- Integrated Framework. Based on
this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
concluded that, as of March 31, 2009, our internal control over financial
reporting was effective.
b)
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
During
the Quarter ended March 31, 2009, there was no change in our internal control
over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the
Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
LACK
OF INDEPENDENT BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND AUDIT COMMITTEE
Management
is aware that an audit committee composed of the requisite number of independent
members along with a qualified financial expert has not yet been
established. Considering the costs associated with procuring and
providing the infrastructure to support an independent audit committee and the
limited number of transactions, Management has concluded that the risks
associated with the lack of an independent audit committee are not
justified. Management will periodically reevaluate this
situation.
LACK
OF SEGREGATION OF DUTIES
Management
is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties at the Company due to the
small number of employees dealing with general administrative and financial
matters. However, at this time management has decided that considering the
abilities of the employees now involved and the control procedures in place, the
risks associated with such lack of segregation are low and the potential
benefits of adding employees to clearly segregate duties do not justify the
substantial expenses associated with such increases. Management will
periodically reevaluate this situation
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
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 our company or any of our
subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any
of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries' officers or
directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a
material adverse effect.
ITEM 1A - Risk Factors
An investment in our common stock
involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following
information about these risks, together with the other information contained in
this Annual Report on Form 10-K, before investing in our common stock. If any of
the events anticipated by the risks described below occur, our results of
operations and financial condition could be adversely affected which could
result in a decline in the market price of our common stock, causing you to lose
all or part of your investment. We have updated the risk factors
previously disclosed in our registration statement on Form SB-2, filed November
22, 2006 (the “Form SB-2”) and in our Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year
ended December 31, 2008, which was filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on March 20, 2009 (the “Fiscal 2008 10–K”). We believe there
are no changes that constitute material changes from the risk factors previously
disclosed in the Fiscal 2008 10–K and the Form SB-2 except as disclosed
below.
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 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 Company business
and technology. Currently we have limited capital which is
insufficient to pursue our plans for development and growth. Our
ability to implement our growth plans will 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 will have a material adverse effect on our
business.
Nevada Law
And Our Articles Of Incorporation Protect Our Directors From Certain Types Of
Lawsuits, Which Could Make It Difficult For Us To Recover Damages From Them In
The Event Of A Lawsuit.
Nevada
law provides that our directors will not be liable to our company or to our
stockholders for monetary damages for all but certain types of conduct as
directors. Our Articles of Incorporation require us to indemnify our directors
and officers against all damages incurred in connection with our business to the
fullest extent provided or allowed by law. The exculpation provisions may have
the effect of preventing stockholders from recovering damages against our
directors caused by their negligence, poor judgment or other circumstances. The
indemnification provisions may require our company to use our assets to defend
our directors and officers against claims, including claims arising out of their
negligence, poor judgment, or other circumstances.
Because We Are 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.
Our
common stock is 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.
Pursuant
to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and current SEC regulations,
beginning with our annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal period ending May
31, 2008, we will be required to prepare assessments regarding internal controls
over financial reporting and beginning with our annual report on Form 10-K for
our fiscal period ending May 31, 2009, 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 management’s 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 Which 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 Is
Particularly Volatile Given Our Status As A Relatively Unknown Company With A
Small And Thinly Traded Public Float, Limited
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 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.
We
Depend Upon Key Management Personnel and the Loss of Any of Them Would Seriously
Disrupt Our Operations:
The
success of our company is largely dependent on the personal efforts of Scott
Landow, Ryan Zink, John Wilson and other key executives. The loss of the
services of Scott Landow, Ryan Zink, John Wilson or other key executives would
have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects. In addition, in
order for us to undertake our operations as contemplated, it will be necessary
for us to locate and hire experienced personnel who are knowledgeable in the
Nutraceutical Dietary Supplement business. Our failure to attract and
retain such experienced personnel on acceptable terms will have a material
adverse impact on our ability to grow our business.
The
nutritional supplements industry is intensely competitive. We have many
well-established competitors with substantially greater financial and other
resources than it. These factors may make it more difficult for us to
successfully implement its business plan and may adversely affect its results of
operations.
The
nutritional supplements industry is a large, highly fragmented and growing
industry, with, to management’s knowledge, no single industry participant
accounting for more than 10% of total industry retail sales. Participants
include specialty retailers, supermarkets, drugstores, mass merchants
(wholesalers), multi-level marketing organizations, mail order companies and a
variety of other smaller participants. The market is also highly sensitive to
the introduction of new products, including various prescription drugs, which
may rapidly capture a significant share of the market. Increased competition
from companies that distribute through retail or wholesale channels could have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We
are a development stage business and the only revenues we have received from
product sales since inception were nominal. Accordingly, we have not been
operational long enough to experience any of the above problems. However, since
we are a development stage business, most, if not all companies in our industry
have greater financial and other resources available to them and possess
manufacturing, distribution and marketing capabilities greater than ours. In
addition, our competitors may be more effective and efficient in integrating new
products. We may not be able to compete effectively and any of the factors
listed above may cause price reductions, reduced margins and difficulties in
gaining market share.
