LIVEWIRE ERGOGENICS INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2014
The Company
LiveWire MC2, LLC (“LVWR”) was organized under the laws of the State of California on January 7, 2008 as a limited liability company. LVWR was formed for the purpose of developing and marketing consumable energy supplements. LVWR adopted December 31 as the fiscal year end.
On June 30, 2011, LVWR, together with its members, entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), for a share exchange with SF Blu Vu, Inc., (“SF Blu”), a public Nevada shell corporation. SF Blu Vu Inc. was formed in Nevada on October 9, 2007 under the name Semper Flowers, Inc. On May 15, 2009 the Company changed its name to SF Blu Vu, Inc. The Purchase Agreement was ultimately completed on August 31, 2011. Under the terms of the purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), SF Blu issued 36,000,000 (30,000,000 shares pre stock split of 1 additional share for every five shares held) of their common shares for 100% of the members’ interest in LVWR. Subsequent to the Purchase Agreement, the members of LVWR owned 60% of common shares of SF Blu, effectively obtaining operational and management control of SF Blu. For accounting purposes, the transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of business combinations, and accordingly the transaction has been treated as a recapitalization of LVWR, the accounting acquirer in this transaction, with SF Blu (the shell) as the legal acquirer.
Subsequent to the Purchase Agreement the financial statements presented are those of LVWR, as if the Purchase Agreement had been in effect retroactively for all periods presented. Immediately following completion of the Purchase Agreement, LVWR and their stockholders had effective control of SF Blu even though SF Blu had acquired LVWR. For accounting purposes, LVWR will be deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction will be treated as a recapitalization of LVWR i.e., a capital transaction involving the issuance of shares by SF Blu for the members’ interest in LVWR. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of LVWR, became the historical financial statements of SF Blu at the closing of the Purchase Agreement, and SF Blu’s assets, liabilities and results of operations have been consolidated with those of LVWR commencing as of August 31, 2011, the date the Purchase Agreement closed. SF Blu is considered the accounting acquiree, or legal acquirer, in this transaction. No step-up in basis or intangible assets or goodwill will be recorded in this transaction. As this transaction is being accounted for as a reverse acquisition, all direct costs of the transaction have been charged to additional paid-in capital. All professional fees and other costs associated with transaction have been charged to additional paid-in-capital.
Subsequent to the Purchase Agreement being completed, SF Blu as the legal acquirer and surviving company, together with their controlling stockholders from LVWR changed the name of SF Blu to LiveWire Ergogenics, Inc. (“LiveWire”) on September 20, 2011. Hereafter, SF Blu, LVWR, or LiveWire are referred to as the “Company”, unless specific reference is made to an individual entity.
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
In contemplation, and in connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company’s directors on July 19, 2011 adopted resolutions determining the Designations, Rights and Preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A”) consisting of One Million (1,000,000) shares. The Series A is senior to the common stock and all other shares of Preferred Stock that may be later authorized. Each outstanding share of Series A has One Thousand (1,000) votes on all matters submitted to the stockholders and votes with the common stock on all matters. The Series A shares vote separately as a class has the right to elect three persons to serve on the board of directors. The shares of Series A (i) do not have a liquidation preference; (ii) do not accrue, earn, or participate in any dividends; (iii) are not subject to redemption by the Corporation; and (iv) each share of Series A has one thousand (1,000) votes per share and votes with the common stock on all matters. As such, the Series A has voting control of the Company and may use its majority control to affect the interests of the Company’s common stockholders.
After December 31, 2012, each outstanding share of Series A may be converted, at the option of the owner, into fifty (50) shares of the Company's common stock; provided however, that no conversion shall be permitted unless (i) the Company's common stock is quoted for public trading in the United States or other international securities market and (ii) the Company's market capitalization (i.e., the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock multiplied by the daily closing price) has exceeded Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) for 90 consecutive trading days. These provisions, if executed by the holders of the Series A, may significantly dilute the Company’s common stockholders after December 31, 2012.
On July 19, 2011, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of the newly created Series A to Weed & Co. LLP, (“Weed & Co”) or its designee, in exchange for a $100,000 reduction of the outstanding accounts payable, being the equivalent of One Cent ($0.1) per share of Series A. Weed & Co., had provided legal services to SF Blu as a shell prior to the Purchase Agreement, and to the Company subsequent to the Purchase Agreement. Subsequent to the issuance of the Series A, Weed & Co assigned the Series A to a third party. On July 21, 2011 in connection with this Series A issuance, a Contingent Option Agreement (“Contingent Option”) was entered into between the two primary members of LVWR and the holder of the issued Series A. Under the terms of this Contingent Option the holder of the Series A is not allowed to transfer, sell or borrow against the Series A shares. Under the Contingent Option the two members of LVWR could purchase the issued Series A under the following circumstances:
-
|
Provided that LVWR becomes a subsidiary of a public entity any time prior to December 31, 2012, the two members of LVWR could purchase the Series A for $400,000.
|
-
|
Provided that LVWR becomes a subsidiary of a public entity, and that entity has not secured an investment of $350,000 prior to December 31, 2011 or March 31, 2012, the two members of LVWR could purchase the Series A for $2.
|
-
|
Provided that LVWR becomes a subsidiary of a public entity, and that entity has not secured an investment of $600,000 prior to June 30, 2012, the two members of LVWR could purchase the Series A for $2.
|
-
|
Provided that LVWR becomes a subsidiary of a public entity, and that entity has not secured an investment of $850,000 prior to December 31, 2012, the two members of LVWR could purchase the Series A for $2.
|
-
|
Provided that LVWR becomes a subsidiary of a public entity, and that entity reports cumulative gross revenue of $600,000 by June 30, 2012, the two members of LVWR could purchase the Series A for $2.
|
-
|
Provided that LVWR becomes a subsidiary of a public entity, and that entity reports cumulative gross revenue of $1,500,000 by December 31, 2012, the two members of LVWR could purchase the Series A for $2.
|
-
|
Provided that LVWR becomes a subsidiary of a public entity, and that entity secures funding in excess of $200,000 through the efforts of the two members, then the two members of LVWR could purchase the Series A for $2.
|
Based on the above noted terms of the Contingent Option the Company accounted for the issued Series A, similar to that of the 36,000,000 (30,000,000 shares pre stock split of 1 additional share for every five shares held) shares of common stock issued with the Purchase Agreement, as the terms of the Contingent Option are effectively made to ensure that the Series A, and any benefit there under, would ultimately reside with the LVWR members. Accordingly, the Series A are treated as having been issued by the accounting acquirer, or LVWR, since inception for all periods presented.
In March 2012, Bill Hodson and Brad Nichols exercised their rights under the Contingent Option Agreement dated July 21, 2011 with Rick Darnell. Based upon the Agreement and fulfillment of contingencies in the Agreement, Bill Hodson and Brad Nichols each acquired 500,000 shares of the Series A from Rick Darnell for $2.00.
On December 4, 2012, the Company reached an agreement with the holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock to surrender and cancel all outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. A copy of the Acknowledgement of Surrender and Cancelation of the Series A Preferred Stock is attached as Exhibit 4.4 to the Form 8-k filed on December 4, 2012. The surrender and cancelation of the Series A Preferred Stock improves the Company’s capital structure because it eliminated the super voting provisions and conversion features that, if exercised by the holders, might dilute the common stockholders of the Company.
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Interim Financial Statements
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with LVWR’s financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on April 14, 2014. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read, or have access to, the audited consolidated financial statements for the preceding period, and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending December 31, 2014.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Advertising
Advertising is expensed as incurred and is included in selling costs on the accompanying statements of operations. Advertising and marketing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $19,000 and $14,000, respectively.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, a customer’s historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company has established, based on a review of its outstanding balances, an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $28,098.
Basis of Accounting
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the basis of accounting generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and with Form 10-Q and article 8 of the Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Under this basis of accounting, revenues are recorded as earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred.
Cash and Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Derivative Liabilities
The Company assessed the classification of its derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2014, which consist of convertible instruments and rights to shares of the Company’s common stock, and determined that such derivatives meet the criteria for liability classification under ASC 815.
ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as described.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value using the FIFO method. Inventory consists primarily of finished goods and packaging materials and production supplies, i.e. packaged consumable energy supplements, manufactured under contract, and the wrappers and containers they are sold in. A periodic inventory system is maintained by 100% count. Inventory is replaced periodically to maintain the optimum stock on hand available for immediate shipment.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB ASC 820-Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results, but did expand certain disclosures.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:
Level 1:
|
Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
|
Level 2:
|
Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
|
Level 3:
|
Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.
|
The Company did not have any Level 2 or Level 3 assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2014, with the exception of its convertible notes payable. The carrying amounts of these liabilities at March 31, 2014 approximate their respective fair value based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.
Cash is considered to be highly liquid and easily tradable as of March 31, 2014 and therefore classified as Level 1 within our fair value hierarchy.
In addition, FASB ASC 825-10-25 Fair Value Option, or ASC 825-10-25, was effective for January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10-25 expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value options for any of its qualifying financial instruments.
Convertible Instruments
The Company evaluates and accounts for conversion options embedded in its convertible instruments in accordance with professional standards for “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.
Professional standards generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. Professional standards also provide an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as defined under professional standards as “The Meaning of “Conventional Convertible Debt Instrument”.
The Company accounts for convertible instruments (when it has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) in accordance with professional standards when “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features,” as those professional standards pertain to “Certain Convertible Instruments.” Accordingly, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their earliest date of redemption. The Company also records when necessary deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.
ASC 815-40 provides that, among other things, generally, if an event is not within the entity’s control could or require net cash settlement, then the contract shall be classified as an asset or a liability.
Income Taxes
Prior to the Purchase Agreement LVWR was taxed as a limited liability company, which is a ‘pass through entity’ for tax purposes. Taxable income flowed through to its members, and income taxes were not levied at the company level. Subsequent to the reverse merger LVWR became a subsidiary of the SF Blu and is taxed at the Company’s marginal corporate rate. The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of ASC Section 740-10-30, which is an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in their consolidated financial statements or tax returns.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for the grant of stock options and restricted stock awards in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation.” ASC 718 requires companies to recognize in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity based compensation.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Recognition of Revenue
Sales are recorded at the time title of goods sold passes to customers, which based on shipping terms which generally occurs when the product is shipped to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Based on prior experience, the Company reasonably estimates its sales returns and warranty reserves. Sales are presented net of discounts and allowances. Discounts and allowances are determined when a sale is negotiated. The Company does not grant price adjustments after a sale is complete. The Company warrants its products sold on the internet with a right of exchange by means of an approved Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA). Returns of unused merchandise are similarly authorized. Warranty and return policy for product sold through retail distribution channels is negotiated with each customer.
The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from sales of their consumable energy supplement products through distributors who distribute their products to retailers. The Company also sells their products directly to consumers; this is normally done through internet sales. This portion of their sales is minimal.
Shipping costs
Shipping costs are included in cost of goods sold and totaled approximately $4,400 and $2,900 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Earnings (loss) per common share
The Company utilizes the guidance per FASB Codification “ASC 260 "Earnings Per Share". Basic earnings per share is calculated on the weighted effect of all common shares issued and outstanding, and is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share, which is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation, plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding, is not presented separately as it is anti-dilutive. Such securities, shown below, presented on a common share equivalent basis and outstanding as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 have been excluded from the per share computations:

Long Lived Assets
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”). ASC 360-10 requires those long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior period data to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported net loss.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
A variety of accounting standards have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date. We regularly review all new pronouncements that have been issued since the filing of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 to determine their impact, if any, on our consolidated financial statements. The Company does not expect the adoption of any of these standards to have a material impact once adopted.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a net loss of $2,817,264 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, and has an accumulated deficit of $6,768,195 as of March 31, 2014. The Company has not yet established an adequate ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease development of operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, develop a reliable source of revenues, and achieve a profitable level of operations the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plans to continue as a going concern include raising additional capital through increased sales of product and by sale of common shares. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and depreciated using straight line methods over the estimated useful lives of the related assets ranging from three to five years. Maintenance and repairs are expensed currently. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs is charged to operations as incurred. Major overhaul that extends the useful life of existing assets is capitalized. When equipment is retired or disposed, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated and the resulting profit or loss is recognized in income.
Depreciation expense amounted to $1,891 and $1,898 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company purchased equipment for cash totaling $5,000.

NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued as follows:
Acquisition
On May 13, 2014 the Company completed the acquisition of a majority stake of Apple Rush Company, Inc. (“APRU”), pursuant to a Memorandum of Understanding which the Company had disclosed on Form 8K filed on March 10, 2014.
Under the final terms of the transaction, the Company acquired from Robert Corr, the former CEO of APRU, and members of Mr. Corr’s family, 10,000,000 shares of super-majority convertible preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”) for a purchase price of $50,000 and 4 million restricted shares of the Company’s common stock. Each share of Preferred Stock has a face value of $1.00 and is convertible into APRU common stock at a conversion price equal to the average closing price of APRU for the ten (10) trading days immediately prior to a notice of conversion, less a discount of twenty percent (20%). As of May 13, 2014, the Preferred Stock was convertible into 18,115,942,028 shares of APRU and as of that date the Company provided to APRU a notice of conversion for 5,000,000 shares of the Preferred Stock convertible into 9,057,971,014 restricted shares of APRU. The Company also reached an agreement with APRU on May 13, 2014, to acquire from APRU 7,252,034,443 newly issued restricted shares of APRU common stock (the “Common Stock”) in exchange for 1,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the conversion of the Preferred Stock and the acquisition of the Common Stock the Company owns 16,310,005,457 shares of APRU common stock representing approximately 77% of the outstanding common stock of APRU.
The Company intends to treat the acquisition of the Preferred Stock and the Common Stock as an acquisition of property and APRU will continue to operate and trade as a separate public company.

In April 2014, the Company issued 519,751 shares of common stock valued at $0.048 per share totalling $25,000 for partial conversion of a $53,000 convertible note.

INTRODUCTION
The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting: (i) our plan of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We are engaged in the sale and marketing of energy chew products. Our product delivers a blend of ingredients that provides an energy boost similar to a large cup of coffee, but is about the size of a Starburst candy. The product is not a gum; it dissolves quickly and is an alternative to drinks or shots.
Results of Operations
The financial information with respect to the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 that is discussed below is unaudited. In the opinion of management, such information contains all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full fiscal years.
Company Overview for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we incurred a net loss of $2,817,264. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we incurred a net loss of $280,876. The increase in 2014 is primarily attributable to an increase of $1,891,000 in stock based compensation as well as an increase of $618,310 in interest expense.
Comparison of the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013
Sales. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, sales of our products amounted to $63,034, as compared to $17,788 in the corresponding 2013 period. The increase is primarily attributable to finalizing the education process with new distributors. The company signed several new distributors in the fourth quarter of 2013, but due to the amount of time required for new distributors to become fully educated on the product line, it can take up to 30 days before the company will start receiving purchase orders. The first quarter of 2014, the Company received purchase orders from several of the aforementioned distributors that are now offering LiveWire product in five new territories.
Costs and Expenses
Cost of goods sold. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, cost of goods sold was $18,449 compared to $8,297 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in revenue had a direct effect on the cost of sales for the three month period ended March 31, 2014.
Gross profit. For the three months ended March 31, 2104, our gross profit was $44,585 (71% of revenue) compared to a gross profit of $9,491 (53% of revenue) for the three months ended March31, 2013. The increase in our gross profit relates to the streamlining of manufacturing and production as well as the Company’s concentration on bulk sales which requires less packaging and in turn increases gross profit.
General and Administrative. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, general and administrative expenses amounted to $2,075,380, as compared to $233,165 in the corresponding 2013 period. The increase in general and administrative expenses resulted from approximately $1,891,000 charged to stock based compensation in 2014 compared to $0 in the corresponding period in 2013.
Selling Costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, selling costs amounted to $19,252 and $13,751, respectively. The increase in selling costs is attributed to developing packaging and sales materials for all sales channels as well as an increase in advertising and promotions to stimulate sales growth.
Depreciation. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, depreciation expense amounted to $1,891 and $1,898, respectively.
Financing expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, finance expenses were $623,210 and $4,900, respectively. The primary increase is due to the issuance of shares recorded as interest totaling $614,200.
Loss on settlement of debt. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, loss on settlement of debt totaled $99,988 and $0 respectively. The increase relates to the Company settling debts by issuing shares of common and preferred stock as well as the forgiveness of approximately $45,000 in convertible debt.
Gain on change in fair value of derivative liability. As described in our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, we issued convertible notes with certain conversion features that have certain reset provisions. All of which, we are required to bifurcate from the host financial instrument and mark to market each reporting period. We recorded the initial fair value of the reset provision as a liability with an offset to equity or debt discount and subsequently mark to market the reset provision liability at each reporting cycle.
For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we recorded a gain of $0 in change in fair value of the derivative liability including initial non-cash interest as compared to $42,767 for the same period in the previous year. Also, the Company amortized beneficial conversion feature expense on convertible notes of $42,128 during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $79,420 for the same period in the previous year.
Going Concern
We have an accumulated deficit of $6,768,195 and our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $326,265 as of March 31, 2014. We may require additional funding to sustain our operations and satisfy our contractual obligations for our planned operations. Our ability to establish the Company as a going concern is may be dependent upon our ability to obtain additional funding in order to finance our planned operations.
Plan of Operations
For the remainder of fiscal 2014, we will focus on attempting to continue increase our revenue through the sale of our products which we hope to achieve through increased market penetration. We have managed both the financial structure and sales of the Company to maximize value for our shareholders. We have seen increases in revenues in each of our last four quarters and have added a couple of new distribution deals that will give us additional traction in key parts of the country. We expect revenues to continue in a strong growth pattern as sales create excitement for our brand and inquiry's increase on a daily basis. We are expanding our national distribution network and with continued growth over the next couple of quarters we can achieve positive cash flow and begin generating operating profits during the current year. We have shored up our balance sheet by converting much of the unfavorable debt to long term financing with several accredited investors with notes convertible at .20/share, eliminating debt of two founders, reducing salaries of key executives to $1/year and paying off debt convertible below the market. These business decisions confirm our commitment to the long term viability of the Company and our desire to become a household name in the future.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, our cash flows from operations were not sufficient for us to meet our operating commitments. Our cash flows from operations continue to be, and are expected to continue to be, insufficient to meet our operating commitments throughout the remainder of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.
Working Capital. As of March 31, 2014, we had a working capital deficit of $326,265 and cash of $67,458, while at December 31, 2013 we had a working capital deficit of $772,935 and cash of $8,342. The decrease in our working capital deficit is primarily attributable to the decrease in accounts payable, related party payables, convertible debentures and notes payable.
Cash Flow. Net cash used in or provided by operating, investing and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities relates to the purchase of equipment.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has evaluated recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA and the SEC and we have not identified any that would have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, or statements.
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.
Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure, controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosures, controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. During the most recently completed three months ended March 31, 2014, there has been no significant change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
We do not have an independent body to oversee our internal control over financial reporting and lack segregation of duties due to the limited nature and resources of the Company.
In light of these material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and procedures in order to conclude that our financial statements included in this report were fairly stated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Accordingly, we believe that despite our material weaknesses, our financial statements included in this report are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
We plan to rectify these weaknesses by implementing an independent board of directors and hiring additional accounting personnel once we have additional resources to do so. We have also hired a new financial consultant who possesses additional financial reporting experience to assist the Company in future fillings.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management, with the participation the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer performed an evaluation as to whether any change in our internal controls over financial reporting occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer concluded that no change occurred in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.
