Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 2 of Part I of
this report, includes forward-looking statements. These statements
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance
or achievements to be materially different from any future results,
levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or
implied by forward-looking statements.
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by
terminology such as “may,” “should,”
“expects,” “plans,”
“anticipates,” “believes,”
“estimates,” “predicts,”
“potential,” “proposed,”
“intended,” or “continue” or the negative
of these terms or other comparable terminology. You should read
statements that contain these words carefully, because they discuss
our expectations about our future operating results or our future
financial condition or state other “forward-looking”
information. There may be events in the future that we are not able
to accurately predict or control. Before you invest in our
securities, you should be aware that the occurrence of any of the
events described in this Quarterly Report could substantially harm
our business, results of operations and financial condition, and
that upon the occurrence of any of these events, the trading price
of our securities could decline and you could lose all or part of
your investment. Although we believe that the expectations
reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we
cannot guarantee future results, growth rates, levels of activity,
performance or achievements. We are under no duty to update any of
the forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly
Report to conform these statements to actual results.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2018 AND 2017
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Summary
FitLife Brands, Inc. (the
“Company”) is a national provider of innovative and
proprietary nutritional supplements for health-conscious consumers
marketed under the brand names NDS Nutrition Products™
(www.ndsnutrition.com),
PMD™ (www.pmdsports.com),
SirenLabs™ (www.sirenlabs.com),
CoreActive™ (www.coreactivenutrition.com),
and Metis Nutrition™ (www.metisnutrition.com) (together,
“NDS
Products”). With the
consummation of the acquisition of iSatori, Inc.
(“iSatori”) on October 1, 2015, the Company added several brands to its product
portfolio, including iSatori (www.isatori.com),
BioGenetic Laboratories, and Energize (together,
“iSatori
Products”). The NDS
Products are distributed principally through franchised General
Nutrition Centers, Inc. (“GNC”) stores located both domestically and
internationally, and, with the addition of Metis Nutrition, through
corporate GNC stores in the United States. The iSatori
Products are sold through more than 25,000 retail locations, which
include specialty, mass, and online.
The Company was incorporated in the State of
Nevada on July 26, 2005. In October 2008, the Company acquired the
assets of NDS Nutritional Products, Inc., a Nebraska corporation,
and moved those assets into its wholly owned subsidiary NDS
Nutrition Products, Inc., a Florida corporation
(“NDS”). The Company’s NDS Products
are sold through NDS and the iSatori Products are sold through
iSatori, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company, which the Company acquired in October
2015.
The Company is headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska.
For more information on the Company, please go

The Company’s common stock currently trades under the symbol
“FTLF” on the OTC:PINK market.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying interim condensed unaudited consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with
the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
a fair presentation are included. Operating results for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2018. While management of the Company believes the
disclosures presented herein are adequate and not misleading, these
interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the audited condensed consolidated financial
statements and the footnotes thereto for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2017, as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form
10-K.
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:
Principles of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated condensed
financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements
are published, and (iii) the reported amount of net sales and
expense recognized during the periods presented. Adjustments made
with respect to the use of estimates often relate to improved
information not previously available. Uncertainties with respect to
such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of
financial statements; accordingly, actual results could differ from
these estimates.
These estimates and assumptions also affect the
reported amounts of accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill
revenue, costs and expense and valuations of long term assets,
realization of deferred tax assets and fair value of equity
instruments issued for services during the reporting
period. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions
on a regular basis. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
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 because all warrants and stock
options outstanding are anti-dilutive. At June 30, 2018 and 2017,
we excluded the all outstanding options and warrants which entitle
the holders thereof to acquire shares of common stock as their
effect would have been anti-dilutive. The following securities that
were excluded are as follows:
|

Goodwill
The Company had goodwill of $225,000,
as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, as a
result of the acquisition of NDS in October 2008. The Company
adopted ASC Topic 350 – Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets.
In accordance with ASC Topic 350, goodwill, which represents the
excess of 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 ASC Topic 350. 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. ASC
Topic 350 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.
As of
June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were no indicators of
impairment for the recorded goodwill of $225,000,
respectively.
Customer Concentration
Gross sales prior to reduction for
vendor funded discounts and coupons to GNC during the six month
period ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were $8,380,000 and
$11,546,000, respectively, representing 80.3% and 81.9% of total
revenue, respectively. Gross accounts receivable attributable to
GNC as of June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 were $2,015,000
and $3,115,000,
respectively, representing 78.6% and 84.7% of the Company’s
total accounts receivable balance,
respectively.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company’s revenue is comprised of sales of nutritional
supplements to consumers, primarily through GNC
stores.
In
September 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (ASU No. 2014-09) regarding
revenue recognition. The new standard provides authoritative
guidance clarifying the principles for recognizing revenue and
developing a common revenue standard for U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. The core principle of the guidance is that
an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of
promised goods to customers in an amount that reflects the
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in the
exchange for those goods. The ASU became effective January 1,
2018.
Due to
the nature of the products sold by the Company, the adoption of the
new standard has had no quantitative effect on the financial
statements. However, the guidance requires additional
disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand
the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is
recognized.
The
Company previously recognized revenue when risk of loss transferred
to our customers and collection of the receivable was reasonably
assured, which generally occurs when the product is shipped. A
product is not shipped without an order from the customer and
credit acceptance procedures performed. The Company allows for
returns within 30 days of purchase from end-users. GNC may return
purchased products to the Company under certain circumstances,
which include expired or soon to be expired products located in GNC
corporate stores or at any of its distribution centers, and
products that are subject to a recall or that contain an ingredient
or ingredients that are subject to a recall by the
FDA.
Under
the new guidance, revenue is recognized when control of promised
goods is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects
the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those
goods. The Company reviews its sales transactions to identify
contractual rights, performance obligations, and transaction
prices, including the allocation of prices to separate performance
obligations, if applicable. Revenue and costs of sales are
recognized once products are delivered to the customer’s
control and performance obligations are satisfied.
All
products sold by the Company are distinct individual products and
consist of nutritional supplements and related supplies. The
products are offered for sale solely as finished goods, and there
are no performance obligations required post-shipment for customers
to derive the expected value from them. Other than promotional
activities, which can vary from time to time but nevertheless are
entirely within the Company’s control, contracts with
customers contain no incentives or discounts that could cause
revenue to be allocated or adjusted over time.
Control
of products we sell transfers to customers upon shipment from our
facilities, and the Company’s performance obligations are
satisfied at that time. Shipping and handling activities are
performed before the customer obtains control of the goods and
therefore represent a fulfillment activity rather than promised
goods to the customer. Payment for sales are generally made by
check, credit card, or wire transfer. Historically the Company has
not experienced any significant payment delays from
customers.
We
provide a 30-day right of return for our products. A right of
return does not represent a separate performance obligation, but
because customers are allowed to return products, the consideration
to which the Company expects to be entitled is variable. Upon
evaluation of returns, the Company determined that substantially
less than 5% of products are returned, and therefore believes it is
probable that such returns will not cause a significant reversal of
revenue in the future. We assess our contracts and the
reasonableness of our conclusions on a quarterly
basis.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. This update will require the
recognition of a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease
liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease
payments, for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. For
operating leases, the asset and liability will be expensed over the
lease term on a straight-line basis, with all cash flows included
in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. For
finance leases, interest on the lease liability will be recognized
separately from the amortization of the right-of-use asset in the
statement of comprehensive income and the repayment of the
principal portion of the lease liability will be classified as a
financing activity while the interest component will be included in
the operating section of the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-02
is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Upon
adoption, leases will be recognized and measured at the beginning
of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective
approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the
adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its financial statements and related
disclosures.
Other
recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its
Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did
not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on
the Company’s present or future financial
statements.
NOTE 4 – MERCHANT AGREEMENT
In
December 2017, the Company, through
NDS and iSatori (together, the “Subsidiaries”),
entered into a Merchant Agreement with Compass Bank, d/b/a Commercial Billing Service
(“Compass”) (“Factor”). Under the terms of the Merchant
Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions to
funding, the Subsidiaries agreed to sell to Compass, and Compass
agreed to purchase from the Subsidiaries, certain accounts owing
from customers of such Subsidiaries, including GNC. All amounts due
under the terms of the Merchant Agreement, totaling up to $5.0
million, are guaranteed by the Company under the terms of a
Continuing Guarantee. The Company pays
a fee calculated based on the London Interbank Offering Rate
(LIBOR) plus 550 basis points, which fee is based on the
outstanding gross amount of accounts receivable factored in excess
of total cash collected by Compass from customers against such
amounts. The applicable LIBOR rate as of June 30, 2018 was 2.1%.
Additionally, the Company is charged a non-utilization fee by which
the average outstanding amount of obligations is less than $2.0
million. The Company has pledged collateral of all present and
future inventory, accounts, accounts receivable, general
intangibles and returned goods, together with all reserves,
balances, deposits, and property at any time owing to the credit of
the Company with Compass and any and all substitutions, accessions,
additions, parts, accessories, attachments, replacements, proceeds
and products of, for and to inventory, whether now or hereafter
owned, existing, created, arising or acquired. The Merchant
Agreement renews automatically unless either party terminates with
a written notice within thirty days of the anniversary
date.
Under
the terms of the Merchant Agreement, all factored receivables are
sold with recourse, which requires the Company to repurchase any
receivables, if demanded, not paid on time causing such receivables
to be accounted for as a secured financing arrangement and not as a
sale of financial assets. Receivables are presented net of
allowance for doubtful accounts with the recourse amount
potentially due Compass in the event of untimely payment presented
under current liabilities as a secured financing obligation. There
were no invoices factored under this Merchant Agreement during the
year ended December 31, 2017.
During
the six month period ended June 30, 2018, the Company sold to the
factor, on a recourse basis, an aggregate of $8,152,000 of
invoices, net of credit memos, for cash proceeds of $7,784,000. In
addition, the Company also incurred fees and other charges in the
aggregate of $61,000 which was reflected as part of interest
expense in the accompanying statement of operations. As of June 30,
2018, total due from Factor amounted to $307,000 which represents
the 20% holdback for invoices it had not yet
collected.
For
financial statement presentation purposes, since the receivables
were sold with recourse, the Company reflected the amount due from
Factor on the accompanying balance sheet as follows:

NOTE 7 – NOTES PAYABLE
The
Company had previously obtained a line of credit
(“LOC”) of $3
million and a separate term loan of $2.6 million with a financial
institution, U.S. Bank. Both loans were secured by the
Company’s tangible and intangible assets, and had an average
interest rate of 5% per annum. The LOC matured in December 2017, as
amended, while the term loan did not mature until August 2018. As
of December 31, 2017, the outstanding balance of these notes
payable totaled $2,365,000 and was deemed in default due to
non-compliance with certain financial covenants.
In
January 2018, the Company paid U.S. Bank a total of $2,365,000 to
settle the outstanding balance of LOC and the term note payable. As
of June 30, 2018, the LOC and Term Note payable had been fully
paid.

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
On December 31, 2014, various plaintiffs,
individually and on behalf of a purported nationwide and sub-class
of purchasers, filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of California, captioned Ryan et al. v. Gencor
Nutrients, Inc. et al., Case
No.: 4:14-CV-05682. The lawsuit includes claims made against the
manufacturer and various producers and sellers of products
containing a nutritional supplement known as Testofen, which is
manufactured and sold by Gencor Nutrients, Inc.
(“Gencor”). Specifically, the Ryan plaintiffs allege
that various defendants have manufactured, marketed and/or sold
Testofen, or nutritional supplements containing Testofen, and in
doing so represented to the public that Testofen had been
clinically proven to increase free testosterone levels. According
to the plaintiffs, those claims are false and/or not statistically
proven. Plaintiffs seek relief under violations of the Racketeering
Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act, breach of express and implied
warranties, and violations of unfair trade practices in violation
of California, Pennsylvania, and Arizona law. NDS utilizes Testofen
in a limited number of nutritional supplements it manufactures and
sells pursuant to a license agreement with
Gencor.
On
February 19, 2015, this matter was transferred to the Central
District of California to the Honorable Manuel Real. Judge Real had
previously issued an order dismissing a similar lawsuit that had
been filed by the same lawyer who represents the plaintiffs in the
Ryan matter. The United States Court of Appeals reversed part of
the dismissal issued by Judge Real and remanded the case back down
to the district court for further proceedings. As a result, the
parties in the Ryan matter issued a joint status report and that
matter is again active.
We
are currently not involved in any litigation except noted above
that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition or results of operations. Other than described
above, 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 its
subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company, our
common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of the Company’s or
our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities
as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse
effect.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition
and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our
financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in
this report. This discussion and analysis may contain
forward-looking statements based on assumptions about our future
business.

Results of Operations
Comparison of Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2018 to the Three
and Six Months Ended June 30, 2017
Net
Sales. Revenue for
the three months ended June 30, 2018 decreased 12.8% to $4,379,000
as compared to $5,022,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2017. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased
15.3% to $8,993,000 as compared to $10,612,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2017. Revenue for the three- and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2018 compared to the prior three and six-month
periods, in part, reflects declining traffic trends and lower
unit sales at retail leading to lower same store sales in GNC, our
principal distribution channel, as well as certain inventory level
adjustments by GNC resulting from such trends. While no assurances
can be given, management believes the negative trends affecting GNC
and the overall retail segment have stabilized. Moreover, declining
sales at retail during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018
were partially offset by a substantial increase in online
sales. As a result of the macro
issues affecting retail generally, management is focused on
developing its omnichannel product sales capability through its
retail partners and online through ecommerce platforms to drive
additional incremental sales. While sales derived from such
channels were not material as a percentage of total sales during
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018, management
believes the its online channels will provide significant
incremental growth opportunities in the
long-term.
Cost of Goods
Sold. Cost of goods
sold for the three months ended June 30, 2018 decreased to
$2,573,000 as compared to $3,499,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2017. The decrease during the three-month period is
principally attributable to lower total sales volumes. Cost of
goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2018 decreased to
$5,271,000 as compared to $7,168,000 for the six months ended June
30, 2017. The decrease during the six-month period is
principally attributable to lower sales in the
period.
Gross Profit
Margin. Gross profit for
the three months ended June 30 2018 increased to $1,806,000
as compared to $1,523,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 2017. Gross profit for the six months
ended June 30, 2018 increased to $3,722,000 as compared to $3,444,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2017. The increase during the three and six month period
is principally attributable to reduced returns and vendor funded
discounts.
Gross
margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 increased
to 41.2% and 41.4% from 30.3% and 32.5% for the comparable three
and six month periods last year. The increase in gross margin was
primarily attributable to materially lower vendor funded discounts
and reduced write-off activity.
General and Administrative
Expense. General and administrative expense for the
three months ended June 30, 2018 decreased to $856,000 as compared
to $1,010,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in general and
administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018 is
principally attributable to ongoing cost reduction initiatives,
subletting certain facilities and lower headcount. General and
administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018
decreased to $1,709,000 as compared to $2,170,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in general and
administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018 is
similarly attributable to ongoing cost reduction
initiatives.
Selling and Marketing
Expense. Selling and
marketing expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018
decreased to $718,000 as compared to $913,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2017. Selling and marketing expense for the six
months ended June 30, 2018 decreased to $1,523,000 as compared to
$1,861,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The
decrease in selling and marketing expense for the three and six and
month periods ended June 30, 2018 is principally the result of
budgetary controls.
Depreciation and
Amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the
three months ended June 30, 2018 decreased to $18,000 as compared
to $117,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2017. Depreciation and amortization for the six months ended
June 30, 2018 decreased to $38,000 as compared to
$237,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
The decrease in both periods was primarily attributable to decrease
in amortization expense due to the write-off of certain intangible
assets during the fourth quarter of 2017.
Net
Income/(Loss). We
generated a net income of $170,000 for the three-month period ended
June 30, 2018 as compared to a net loss of $(551,000) for the three
months ended June 30, 2017. We generated a net income of $388,000
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 as compared to a net
loss of $(884,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The
change from a net loss to net income for the three- and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2018 compared to the comparable period last
year is principally attributable to stronger margins and reduced
operating expense, which offset lower sales
volumes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June
30, 2018, we had positive working capital of approximately
$913,000, compared to $369,000 at December 31, 2017. Our principal
sources of liquidity at June 30, 2018 consisted of $940,000 of cash
and $1,848,000 from accounts receivable. The increase in working
capital is principally attributable to the payment of the line of
credit and term loan, both of which were current liabilities at
December 31, 2017.
The Company has historically financed its
operations primarily through cash flow from operations and equity
and debt financings, and more recently, the factoring of accounts
receivable. The Company has also provided for its cash needs
by issuing common stock, options and warrants for certain operating
costs, including consulting and professional fees. The
Company currently anticipates that cash derived from operations and
existing cash resources will be sufficient to provide for the
Company’s liquidity for the next 12 months.
In
December 2017, the Company, through its Subsidiaries, entered into
the Merchant Agreement with Compass. Under the terms of the
Merchant Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions to funding, the Subsidiaries agreed to sell to Compass,
and Compass agreed to purchase from the Subsidiaries, certain
accounts owing from customers of such Subsidiaries, including GNC.
On January 22, 2018, the Subsidiaries sold to Compass accounts
receivable under the Merchant Agreement aggregating approximately
$2.0 million, the proceeds from which were used to pay U.S. Bank,
inclusive of a payment of approximately $360,000 from the Company,
all principal and accrued interest due and owed U.S. Bank under the
terms of the Notes and revolving line of credit.
The
Company is dependent on cash flow from operations and the
accumulation of additional receivables available to sell to Compass
under the terms of the Merchant Agreement to satisfy its working
capital requirements. No assurances can be given that cash flow
from operations and/or that the Company will have access to
additional capital under the terms of the Merchant Agreement
necessary to provide for the Company’s liquidity for the next
twelve months. Should the Company be unable to generate sufficient
revenue in the future to achieve positive cash flow from
operations, and/or should capital be unavailable under the terms of
the Merchant Agreement, additional working capital will be
required. Management at present has no intention to raise
additional working capital through the sale of equity or debt
securities and believes the agreement with Compass will provide
sufficient capital necessary to operate the business over the next
twelve months. In the event the Company fails to achieve positive
cash flow from operations, additional capital is unavailable under
the terms of the Merchant Agreement, and management is otherwise
unable to secure additional working capital through the issuance of
equity or debt securities, the Company’s business would be
materially and adversely harmed.
During
the six month period ended June 30, 2018, the Company sold to the
factor, on a recourse basis, an aggregate of $8,152,000 of
invoices, net of credit memos, for cash proceeds of $7,784,000. In
addition, the Company also incurred fees and other charges in the
aggregate of $61,000 which was reflected as part of interest
expense in the accompanying statement of operations. As of June 30,
2018, total due from Factor amounted to $307,000 which represents
the 20% holdback for invoices it had not yet
collected.
Cash Provided by
Operations. Our cash
provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30,
2018 was $882,000, as compared to $424,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2017. The increase is principally attributable to
variations in certain working capital accounts resulting from our
agreement with Compass. Net working capital decreased to $913,000
as of the quarter ended June 30, 2018 compared to $2,612,000 as of
June 30, 2017.
Cash Provided by (Used in)
Investing Activities. Cash provided by investing activities for the six
months ended June 30, 2018 was $2,000 as compared to $(10,000) used
in investing activities for the six months ended June 30,
2017.
Cash Used in Financing
Activities. Our cash used in
financing activities for the six months ended June 30,
2018 was $(1,206,000) as compared to cash used in financing
activities of $(276,000) during the six months ended June 30, 2017.
The primary difference was the payoff of all amounts owed to U.S.
Bank under both the line of credit and term loan during the six
months ended June 30, 2018 plus the impact of the factoring
arrangement with Compass.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements,
which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation
of these consolidated financial statements and related disclosures
requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expense, and related
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate, on an
on-going basis, our estimates and judgments, including those
related to the useful life of the assets. We base our estimates on
historical experience and assumptions that we believe 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.
The
methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most
critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the
results that we report in our consolidated financial statements.
The SEC considers an entity’s most critical accounting
policies to be those policies that are both most important to the
portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results of
operations and those that require management’s most
difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of
the need to make estimates about matters that are inherently
uncertain at the time of estimation. For a more detailed discussion
of the accounting policies of the Company, see Note 3 of the Notes
to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements,
“Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies.”
We
believe the following critical accounting policies, among others,
require significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation
of our consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements
are published, and (iii) the reported amount of net sales and
expense recognized during the periods presented. Adjustments made
with respect to the use of estimates often relate to improved
information not previously available. Uncertainties with respect to
such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of
financial statements; accordingly, actual results could differ from
these estimates.
These estimates and assumptions also
affect the reported amounts of accounts receivable, inventories,
goodwill, revenue, costs and expense and valuations of long term
assets, allowance for deferred tax assets and equity instruments
issued for services during the reporting period. Management
evaluates these estimates and assumptions on a regular
basis. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Goodwill
The Company had goodwill with a
carrying value of $225,000 as of June 30, 2018 and December 31,
2017, respectively, as a result of the acquisition of NDS in
October 2008. The Company adopted ASC Topic 350 –
Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets.
In accordance with ASC Topic 350, goodwill, which represents the
excess of 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 ASC Topic 350. 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. ASC
Topic 350 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.
Identifiable intangible assets are stated at cost and accounted for
based on whether the useful life of the asset is finite or
indefinite. Identified intangible assets with finite useful lives
are amortized using the straight-line methods over their estimated
useful lives, which was originally ten years. Intangible assets
with indefinite lives are not amortized to operations, but instead
are reviewed for impairment at least annually, or more frequently
if there is an indicator of impairment.
As of
June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were no indicators of
impairment for the recorded goodwill of $225,000,
respectively.
Share Based Payment
The Company issues stock options, warrants and common stock as
share-based compensation to employees and non-employees. The
Company accounts for its share-based compensation to employees in
accordance with FASB ASC718 “Compensation - Stock
Compensation.” Stock-based compensation cost is
measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of
the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service
period.
The Company
accounts for share-based compensation issued to non-employees and
consultants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50
“Equity - Based Payment to
Non-Employees.” Measurement of share-based payment
transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of
whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services
received, or (b) the equity instruments issued. The final fair
value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the
performance completion date. For interim periods, the fair value is
estimated and the percentage of completion is applied to that
estimate to determine the cumulative expense recorded.
The Company
values stock compensation based on the market price on the
measurement date. For employees this is the date of grant, and for
non-employees, this is the date of performance completion. The
Company values stock options and warrants using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model.
Revenue Recognition
The
Company’s revenue is comprised of sales of nutritional
supplements to consumers, primarily through GNC
stores.
In
September 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (ASU No. 2014-09) regarding
revenue recognition. The new standard provides authoritative
guidance clarifying the principles for recognizing revenue and
developing a common revenue standard for U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. The core principle of the guidance is that
an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of
promised goods to customers in an amount that reflects the
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in the
exchange for those goods or services. The ASU became effective
January 1, 2018.
Due to
the nature of the products sold by the Company, the adoption of the
new standard has had no quantitative effect on the financial
statements. However, the guidance requires additional
disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand
the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is
recognized.
The
Company previously recognized revenue when risk of loss transferred
to our customers and collection of the receivable was reasonably
assured, which generally occurs when the product is shipped. A
product is not shipped without an order from the customer and
credit acceptance procedures performed. The Company allows for
returns within 30 days of purchase from end-users. GNC may return
purchased products to the Company under certain circumstances,
which include expired or soon to be expired products located in GNC
corporate stores or at any of its distribution centers, and
products that are subject to a recall or that contain an ingredient
or ingredients that are subject to a recall by the
FDA.
Under
the new guidance, revenue is recognized when control of promised
goods is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects
the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those
goods. The Company reviews its sales transactions to identify
contractual rights, performance obligations, and transaction
prices, including the allocation of prices to separate performance
obligations, if applicable. Revenue and costs of sales are
recognized once products are delivered to the customer’s
control and performance obligations are satisfied.
All
products sold by the Company are distinct individual products and
consist of nutritional supplements and related supplies. The
products are offered for sale solely as finished goods, and there
are no performance obligations required post-shipment for customers
to derive the expected value from them. Other than promotional
activities, which can vary from time to time but nevertheless are
entirely within the Company’s control, contracts with
customers contain no incentives or discounts that could cause
revenue to be allocated or adjusted over time.
Control
of products we sell transfers to customers upon shipment from our
facilities, and the Company’s performance obligations are
satisfied at that time. Shipping and handling activities are
performed before the customer obtains control of the goods and
therefore represent a fulfillment activity rather than promised
goods to the customer. Payment for sales are generally made by
check, credit card, or wire transfer. Historically the Company has
not experienced any significant payment delays from
customers.
We
provide a 30-day right of return for our products. A right of
return does not represent a separate performance obligation, but
because customers are allowed to return products, the consideration
to which the Company expects to be entitled is variable. Upon
evaluation of returns, the Company determined that substantially
less than 5% of products are returned, and therefore believes it is
probable that such returns will not cause a significant reversal of
revenue in the future. We assess our contracts and the
reasonableness of our conclusions on a quarterly
basis.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
Our
business is currently conducted principally in the United States.
As a result, our financial results are not affected by factors such
as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or economic
conditions in foreign markets. We do not engage in hedging
transactions to reduce our exposure to changes in currency exchange
rates, although as the geographical scope of our business broadens,
we may do so in the future.
Our
exposure to risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to
our investments in short-term financial instruments. Investments in
both fixed rate and floating rate interest earning instruments
carry some interest rate risk. The fair value of fixed rate
securities may fall due to a rise in interest rates, while floating
rate securities may produce less income than expected if interest
rates fall. Partly as a result of this, our future interest income
may fall short of expectations due to changes in interest rates or
we may suffer losses in principal if we are forced to sell
securities that have fallen in estimated fair value due to changes
in interest rates. However, as substantially all of our cash
equivalents consist of bank deposits and short-term money market
instruments, we do not expect any material change with respect to
our net income as a result of an interest rate change.
We
do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any
hedging activities.
ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange
Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and
evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management
recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of
achieving the desired control objectives, and management is
required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit
relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure
controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable
assurance that the controls and procedures would meet their
objectives. As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of
the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this
report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance
level.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over our financial reporting. In order to evaluate
the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as
required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management has
conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in
Internal Control — Integrated Framework, issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(“COSO”). Our system of internal control over
financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Management has
used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal
Control-Integrated Framework published by the COSO to evaluate the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
Based on this assessment, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer have concluded that our internal control over
financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2018. This
Quarterly Report does not include an attestation report of our
independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal
control over financial reporting. Our internal control over
financial reporting was not subject to attestation by our
independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary
rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s
report in this Quarterly Report. There has been no change in our
internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent
fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial
reporting.
(b) Changes
in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in our internal controls over financial
reporting or in other factors that could materially affect, or are
reasonably likely to affect, our internal controls over financial
reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2018. There have not
been any significant changes in the Company’s critical
accounting policies identified since the Company filed its Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2017.
PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On December 31, 2014, various plaintiffs,
individually and on behalf of a purported nationwide and sub-class
of purchasers, filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of California, captioned Ryan et al. v. Gencor
Nutrients, Inc. et al., Case
No.: 4:14-CV-05682. The lawsuit includes claims made against the
manufacturer and various producers and sellers of products
containing a nutritional supplement known as Testofen, which is
manufactured and sold by Gencor Nutrients, Inc.
(“Gencor”). Specifically, the Ryan plaintiffs allege
that various defendants have manufactured, marketed and/or sold
Testofen, or nutritional supplements containing Testofen, and in
doing so represented to the public that Testofen had been
clinically proven to increase free testosterone levels. According
to the plaintiffs, those claims are false and/or not statistically
proven. Plaintiffs seek relief under violations of the Racketeering
Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act, breach of express and implied
warranties, and violations of unfair trade practices in violation
of California, Pennsylvania, and Arizona law. NDS utilizes Testofen
in a limited number of nutritional supplements it manufactures and
sells pursuant to a license agreement with
Gencor.
On
February 19, 2015 this matter was transferred to the Central
District of California to the Honorable Manuel Real. Judge Real had
previously issued an order dismissing a similar lawsuit that had
been filed by the same lawyer who represents the plaintiffs in the
Ryan matter. The United States Court of Appeals reversed part of
the dismissal issued by Judge Real and remanded the case back down
to the district court for further proceedings. As a result, the
parties in the Ryan matter issued a joint status report and that
matter is again active.
We
are currently not involved in any litigation except noted above
that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition or results of operations. Other than described
above, 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 its
subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company, our
common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of the Company’s 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
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,
2017, filed on April 17, 2018. 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, 2018, there are no risk factors
identified by the Company in addition to the risk factors
previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk
Factors” in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2017.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY
SECURITIES
None.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR
SECURITIES
There
were no defaults upon senior securities during the three-month
period ended June 30, 2018 that were not previously disclosed by
the Company in a Current Report on Form 8-K or its periodic
reports.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
There
is no information with respect to which information is not
otherwise called for by this form.
