WES
CONSULTING, INC.
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND
NATURE OF BUSINESS
Overview
– WES Consulting, Inc.
(the “Company”) was incorporated on February 25, 1999 in the State of Florida.
Until October 19, 2009, the Company was in the business of consulting and
commercial property management. On October 19, 2009, the Company
entered into a Merger and Recapitalization Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”)
with Liberator, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Liberator”). Pursuant to the
Merger Agreement, Liberator merged with and into the Company, with the Company
surviving as the sole remaining entity (the “Merger”). References to
the “Company” in these notes include the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiaries, OneUp Innovations, Inc. and Foam Labs, Inc.
As a
result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of the common stock of
Liberator (the “Liberator Common Shares”) were converted into one share of the
Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value, which, after giving effect to the
Merger, equaled, in the aggregate, 98.4% of the total issued and outstanding
common stock of the Company (the “WES Common Stock”). Pursuant to the
Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of preferred stock of
Liberator (the “Liberator Preferred Shares”) was to be converted into one share
of the Company’s preferred stock with the provisions, rights, and designations
set forth in the Merger Agreement (the “WES Preferred Stock”). On the
execution date of the Merger Agreement, the Company was not authorized to issue
any preferred stock. The parties agreed that the Company will file an
amendment to its Articles of Incorporation authorizing the issuance of the WES
Preferred Stock, and at such time the WES Preferred Stock will be exchanged
pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. As of the execution date of
the Merger Agreement, Liberator owned 80.7% of the issued and outstanding shares
of the Company’s common stock. Upon the consummation of the Merger, the
shares of WES Common Stock owned by Liberator prior to the Merger were
cancelled.
The
Merger has been accounted for as a reverse merger, and as such the historical
financial statements of Liberator are being presented herein with those of the
Company. Also, the capital structure of the Company for all periods
presented herein is different from that appearing in the historical financial
statements of the Company due to the recapitalization accounting.
The
Company is a designer and manufacturer of various specialty furnishings for the
sexual wellness market. The Company's sales and manufacturing
operation are located in the same facility in Atlanta, Georgia. Sales
are generated through the internet and print advertisements. We have a
diversified customer base with only one customer accounting for 10% or more of
consolidated net sales and no particular concentration of credit risk in one
economic sector (see Note 6 -
Major Customers.). Foreign operations and foreign net sales
are not material.
Going Concern –
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates
continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company incurred a net loss
of $361,489 and $156,116 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively, and a net loss of $604,047 and $670,873 for the six months ended
December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, the Company
has an accumulated deficit of $6,779,578 and a working capital deficit of
$967,550.
In view
of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the
accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the
Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its
financing requirements, and the success of its future
operations. Management believes that actions presently being taken to
revise the Company’s operating and financial requirements provide the
opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
These
actions include ongoing initiatives to increase gross profit margins through
improved production controls and reporting. To that end, the Company implemented
a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software system during the first
quarter of fiscal 2010. We also plan to manage discretionary expense levels to
be better aligned with current and expected revenue
levels. Furthermore, our plan of operation in the next twelve months
continues a strategy for growth within our existing lines of business with an
on-going focus on growing domestic sales. We estimate that the operational and
strategic growth plans we have identified will require approximately $2,300,000
of funding. We expect to invest approximately $500,000 for additional inventory
of sexual wellness products and $1,800,000 on sales and marketing programs,
primarily sexual wellness advertising in magazines and on cable television. We
will also be exploring the opportunity to acquire other compatible
businesses.
6
We plan
to finance the required $2,300,000 with a combination of anticipated cash flow
from operations over the next twelve months as well as cash on hand and cash
raised through equity and debt financings.
As
previously reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 2, 2011,
the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of Web Merchants, Inc
(“WMI”). We pursued the acquisition of WMI to increase our presence
in the sexual wellness market and to begin to develop a business portfolio with
significant growth opportunities. Although there can be no assurance
in this regard, we believe that the WMI acquisition will provide the Company
with sufficient sales revenue and gross profit to allow the Company to be
profitable on an annual basis. Web Merchants, Inc. had net revenues
of $7.6 million in 2009 and net revenues of $6.2 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2010. As part of the acquisition, Web
Merchants, Inc. will relocate their New Jersey facility to the 140,000 square
foot WES Consulting, Inc. headquarters and fulfillment center in Atlanta, GA.
Full integration of the companies is expected to be completed by April of
2011.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
These
consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of our
wholly owned operating subsidiaries, OneUp Innovations, Inc. and Foam Labs,
Inc. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to
the current year presentation.
The
accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial information and with the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These consolidated
condensed financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the
Company’s consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s report on
Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010 filed on October 13,
2010.
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the
balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
period reported. Management reviews these estimates and assumptions
periodically and reflects the effect of revisions in the period that they are
determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from those
estimates and assumptions.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP in
the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions in
determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Significant estimates in these consolidated financial
statements include estimates of asset impairment, income taxes, tax valuation
reserves, restructuring reserve, loss contingencies, allowances for doubtful
accounts, share-based compensation, and useful lives for depreciation and
amortization. Actual results could differ materially from these
estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin
(“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue
Recognition.” (“SAB No. 104”). SAB No. 104
requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized:
(1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) title has
transferred; (3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and (4) collectability
is reasonably assured. The Company uses contracts and customer
purchase orders to determine the existence of an arrangement. The Company uses
shipping documents and third-party proof of delivery to verify that title has
transferred. The Company assesses whether the fee is fixed or determinable based
upon the terms of the agreement associated with the transaction. To determine
whether collection is probable, the Company assesses a number of factors,
including past transaction history with the customer and the creditworthiness of
the customer. If the Company determines that collection is not reasonably
assured, then the recognition of revenue is deferred until collection becomes
reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of
payment. During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company
deferred $20,000 in connection with its sales of products to a certain customer,
as the return rate associated with this customer could not be reasonably
estimated.
7
The
Company records product sales net of estimated product returns and discounts
from the list prices for its products. The amounts of product returns and the
discount amounts have not been material to date. The Company includes shipping
and handling costs in cost of product sales.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
For
purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt
instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
The
allowance for doubtful accounts reflects management's best estimate of probable
credit losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. The
Company determines the allowance based on historical experience, specifically
identified nonpaying accounts and other currently available
evidence. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts
monthly with a focus on significant individual past due balances over 90
days. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after
all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is
considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit
exposure related to its customers. At December 31, 2010, accounts
receivable totaled $1,079,910 net of $9,559 in the allowance for doubtful
accounts. At June 30, 2010, accounts receivable totaled $562,872 net
of $14,143 in the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of
cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Market is defined as sales price less cost to dispose and a normal profit
margin. Inventory costs include materials, labor, depreciation, and
overhead.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentration of credit
risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts
receivable. As of December 31, 2010, substantially all of our cash
and cash equivalents were managed by a single financial
institution. As of December 31, 2010, none of our cash and cash
equivalents with this financial institution exceeded FDIC insured
limits. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived
from revenue earned from customers primarily located in the United States and
Canada.
Fair
Value of Financial and Derivative Instruments
The
Company values its financial instruments in accordance with new accounting
guidance on fair value measurements, which, for certain financial assets and
liabilities, requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be
classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
•
|
Level
1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
We have no assets or liabilities valued with Level 1
inputs.
|
||
•
|
Level
2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted
prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices
for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not
active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by
observable market data. We have no assets or liabilities valued
with Level 2 inputs.
|
•
|
Level
3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity
and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies,
and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. We have
no assets or liabilities valued with Level 3
inputs.
|
At
December 31, 2010, our financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other long-term debt. The
fair values of these financial instruments approximated their carrying values
based on either their short maturity or current terms for similar
instruments.
8
Advertising
Costs
Advertising
costs are expensed in the period when the advertisements are first aired or
distributed to the public. Prepaid advertising (included in prepaid expenses)
was $18,650 at December 31, 2010 and $60,427 at June 30, 2010. Advertising
expense for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $131,249 and
$239,871, respectively.
Research
and Development
Research
and development expenses for new products are expensed as they are
incurred. Expenses for new product development totaled $32,463 for
the three months ended December 31, 2010 and $37,580 for the three months ended
December 31, 2009. Research and development costs are included in general and
administrative expense.
Shipping and
Handling
We
account for shipping and handling costs in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue
Recognition. Amounts billed to customers in sale transactions related
to shipping and handling costs are recorded as revenue. Shipping and handling
costs incurred by us are included in cost of sales in the consolidated
statements of operations.
Net sales
for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 includes amounts charged
to customers of $294,866 and $302,715, respectively, for shipping and handling
charges.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are computed
using the straight-line method over estimated service lives for financial
reporting purposes.
Expenditures
for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and
equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged
to expense as incurred. When properties are disposed of, the related costs and
accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain
or loss is recognized currently.
Impairment
or Disposal of Long Lived Assets
Long-lived
assets to be held are reviewed for events or changes in circumstances which
indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. They are tested for
recoverability using undiscounted cash flows to determine whether or not
impairment to such value has occurred as required by FASB ASC Topic
No. 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. The Company has determined that
there was no impairment at December 31, 2010.
Operating
Leases
The
Company leases its facility under a ten year operating lease that was signed in
September 2005 and expires December 31, 2015. The lease is on an
escalating schedule with the final year on the lease at $34,358 per
month. The liability for this difference in the monthly payments is
accounted for as a deferred rent liability, and the balance in this account at
December 31, 2010 was $316,541. The rent expense under this lease for
the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $80,931. The
Company also leases certain equipment under operating leases, as more fully
described in Note 12 - Commitments and
Contingencies.
Stock
Based Compensation
We
account for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718,
Compensation – Stock Compensation. We measure the cost of each stock option at
its fair value on the grant date. Each award vests over the subsequent period
during which the recipient is required to provide service in exchange for the
award (the vesting period). The cost of each award is recognized as expense in
the financial statements over the respective vesting period. The expense
recognized reflects an estimated forfeiture rate for unvested awards of
25%. All of the Company’s stock options are service-based awards, and
because the Company’s stock options are “plain vanilla,” as defined by the U. S.
Securities and Exchange Commission in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107,
they are reflected only in Stockholders’ Equity and Compensation Expense
accounts.
9
Segment
Information
During
the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company only
operated in one segment; therefore, segment information has not been
presented.
Income
Taxes
Income
taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. The asset and
liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates applicable to
the period that includes the enactment date.
As a
result of the implementation of accounting for uncertain tax positions effective
July 1, 2008, the Company did not recognize a liability for unrecognized
tax benefits and, accordingly, was not required to record any cumulative effect
adjustment to beginning of year retained earnings. As of both the date of
adoption and December 31, 2010, there was no significant liability for income
tax associated with unrecognized tax benefits.
In
evaluating a tax position for recognition, management evaluates whether it is
more-likely-than-not that a position will be sustained upon examination,
including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, based on
technical merits of the position. If the tax position meets the
more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the tax position is measured and
recognized in the Company's financial statements as the largest amount of tax
benefit that, in management's judgment, is greater than 50% likely of being
realized upon settlement.
The
Company recognizes accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as well
as any related penalties in interest expense in its consolidated statements of
operations. As of the date of adoption and during the six months ended
December 31, 2010 and 2009, there was no accrual for the payment of
interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements and Developments
In
January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value
Measurements (“ASU 2010-06”), which amends the disclosure guidance with
respect to fair value measurements. Specifically, the new guidance requires
disclosure of amounts transferred in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value
measurements, a reconciliation presented on a gross basis rather than a net
basis of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, greater disaggregation of
the assets and liabilities for which fair value measurements are presented and
more robust disclosure of the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure
Level 2 and 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and
annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, with the
exception of the new guidance around the Level 3 activity reconciliations, which
is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The
adoption of the guidance required for interim and annual reporting periods after
December 15, 2010 is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
In
October 2009, the FASB issued FASB Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic
605)—Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. FASB Accounting Standards
Update 2009-13 addresses the accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to
enable vendors to account for products or services (deliverables) separately
rather than as a combined unit. Specifically, this guidance amends the criteria
in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 605-25, Revenue
Recognition-Multiple-Element Arrangements, for separating consideration in
multiple-deliverable arrangements. This guidance establishes a selling price
hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which is based on:
(a) vendor-specific objective evidence; (b) third-party evidence; or
(c) estimates. This guidance also eliminates the residual method of
allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the
inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling
price method. In addition, this guidance significantly expands required
disclosures related to a vendor’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements.
FASB Accounting Standards Update 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue
arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or
after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of
Accounting Standards Update 2009-13 did not have a material impact on the
condensed consolidated financial statements.
We have
determined that all other recently issued accounting standards will not have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements, or do not apply to our
operations.
10
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per
Share
The loss
per share (“EPS”) is presented in accordance with the provisions of the
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). Basic EPS is calculated by
dividing the income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted
EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other
contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common
stock. Basic and diluted EPS were the same for the three and six
months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 as the Company had losses from
operations during the three and six month periods in both years and therefore
the effect of all potential common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive (reduces
loss per share).
Basic and
diluted earnings per share are the same in periods of a net loss thus there is
no effect of dilutive securities when a net loss is recorded.
There
were approximately 7,518,849 and 5,650,849 securities excluded from the
calculation of diluted loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive for
the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.
Seasonality
Our
business has a seasonal pattern. In the past three years, we have realized an
average of approximately 28% of our annual revenues in our second quarter, which
includes Christmas, and an average of approximately 29% of our revenues in the
third quarter, which includes Valentine’s Day.
NOTE 3 – STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION
Options
At
December 31, 2010, the Company had 2009 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), which is
shareholder-approved and under which 5,000,000 shares are reserved for issuance
until the Plan terminates on October 20, 2019.
Under the
Plan, eligible employees and certain independent consultants may be granted
options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares issuable
under the Plan will either be shares of the Company’s authorized but previously
unissued common stock or shares reacquired by the Company, including shares
purchased on the open market. As of December 31, 2010, the number of
shares available for issuance under the Plan was 3,132,000.

Stock-based
compensation
Stock-based
employee 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 has no outstanding awards with market or performance
conditions.
Stock-based
compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of
operations for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009
are based on awards ultimately expected to vest, and is reduced for estimated
forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if
necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those
estimates. Pre-vesting forfeitures are estimated to be approximately
25%, based on historical experience.
The
following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense by line item in the
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, all relating to employee stock
plans:

Management
reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be
recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the
carrying amount to forecasted undiscounted future cash flows expected to be
generated by the asset. If the carrying amount exceeds its estimated future cash
flows, then an impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the carrying
amount exceeds the asset’s fair value. Management has determined no asset
impairment occurred during the three and six months ended December 31,
2010.

NOTE 9 – LINE OF
CREDIT
On May
17, 2010, OneUp Innovations, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a
credit facility to provide it with an asset based line of credit of up to
$600,000 against 80% of eligible accounts receivable (as defined in the
agreement.) The term of the agreement is one year, renewable for
additional one-year terms unless either party provides written notice of
non-renewal at least 60 days prior to the end of the current financing period.
The credit facility is secured by our accounts receivable and other rights to
payment, general intangibles, inventory and equipment, and are subject to
eligibility requirements for current accounts receivable and inventory balances.
Advances under the agreement bear interest at a rate of 2% over the prime rate
(5.25% as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010) for the accounts receivable
portion of the advances and the inventory portion of the
borrowings. In addition there are collateral management fees of 0.4%
for each 10-day period that an advance on an accounts receivable invoice remains
outstanding and a 1.9% collateral management fee on the average monthly loan
outstanding on the inventory portion of any advance. On December 31, 2010, the
balance owed under this line of credit was $666,207 and on June 30, 2010, the
balance owed was $320,184. The lender temporarily increased the
credit limit on the credit facility to $750,000 through January 31,
2011. The Company’s CEO, Louis S. Friedman, personally guaranteed the
repayment of the loan obligation. On December 31, 2010, we were in
compliance with all of the financial and other covenants required under this
credit facility.
On
November 10, 2009, the Company entered into a loan agreement for a line of
credit with a commercial finance company that provides credit to 80% of domestic
accounts receivable aged less than 90 days up to $250,000. Borrowings under the
agreement bear interest at prime rate plus 6% (9.25% as of November 10, 2009)
plus a 2% annual facility fee and a .25% monthly collateral monitoring
fee. The balance owed under this line of credit was repaid on May 17,
2010.
14
Management
believes cash flows generated from operations, along with current cash and
borrowing capacity under the existing line of credit should be sufficient to
finance current working capital requirements during the next 12 months. If new
business opportunities do arise, additional outside funding may be
required.
NOTE 10 – CREDIT CARD
ADVANCE
On
November 4, 2010, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, OneUp Innovations, Inc.
(“OneUp”), and OneUp’s wholly owned subsidiary, Foam Labs, Inc. (“Foam
Labs”) entered into a receivable advance agreement with CC Funding, LLC (“Credit
Cash”), a division of Credit Cash NJ, LLC whereby Credit Cash agreed to loan
OneUp and Foam Labs a total of $400,000. The loan is secured by OneUp’s and Foam
Lab’s existing and future credit card collections. Terms of the loan call for a
repayment of $448,000, which includes a one-time finance charge of $48,000, by
May 4, 2011. This will be accomplished by Credit Cash withholding a
fixed amount each business day of $3,446 from OneUp’s credit card receipts until
full repayment is made. The loan is guaranteed by the Company and is
personally guaranteed by the Company’s CEO and controlling shareholder, Louis S.
Friedman, and the Company’s CFO, Ronald P. Scott. On December 31,
2010 the balance owed under this agreement was $308,658.
NOTE 11 – UNSECURED LINES OF
CREDIT
The
Company has drawn cash advances on three unsecured lines of credit that are in
the name of the Company and Louis S. Friedman. The terms of these unsecured
lines of credit call for monthly payments of principal and interest, with
interest rates ranging from 5% to 12%. The aggregate amount owed on the three
unsecured lines of credit was $85,884 at December 31, 2010 and $99,664 at June
30, 2010.
NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS AND
CONTINGENCIES
Operating
Leases
The
Company leases its facility under a ten year operating lease that was signed in
September 2005 and expires December 31, 2015. The lease is on an escalating
schedule with the final year on the lease at $34,358 per month. The liability
for this difference in the monthly payments is accounted for as a deferred rent
liability, and the balance in this account at December 31, 2010 was $316,451 and
$331,570 at June 30, 2010. The rent expense under this lease for the three
months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $80,931.
The lease
for the facility requires the Company to provide a standby letter of credit
payable to the lessor in the amount of $225,000 until December 31,
2010. On December 31, 2010, the standby letter of credit for $225,000
was cancelled and a letter of credit in the amount of $25,000 in lieu of a
security deposit was provided to the lessor. This letter of credit is
secured by an assignment by Leslie Vogelman, the Company’s Treasurer, to
Fidelity Bank of a Certificate of Deposit in the amount of $25,000.
The
Company leases certain material handling equipment under an operating
lease. The monthly lease amount is $4,082 per month and expires
September 2012.
The
Company also leases certain warehouse equipment under an operating
lease. The monthly lease is $508 per month and expires February
2011.
The
Company also leases certain postage equipment under an operating
lease. The monthly lease is $144 per month and expires January
2013.
The Company entered into an operating
lease for certain material handling equipment in September 2010. The

Common
Stock Issuance
On
September 2, 2009, Liberator acquired the majority of the issued and outstanding
common stock of the Company in accordance with a common stock purchase agreement
(the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) by and among Liberator and Belmont Partners,
LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“Belmont”), and the
Company. At closing, Liberator acquired 972,000 shares (80.7%) of the
Company from Belmont for a total of $240,500 in addition to the issuance by the
Company of 250,000 warrants to Belmont exercisable for an equal number of shares
of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.25, and the issuance
by the Company to Belmont of a total of 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock with 750,000 shares delivered at closing and the balance of 750,000 shares
to be delivered on September 2, 2010, the one (1) year anniversary of the
closing.
On
October 14, 2010, Belmont and the Company executed a Settlement Agreement and
General Release dated October 13, 2010 regarding the remaining 750,000 shares of
our common stock that were owed to Belmont on September 2, 2010. Without
admitting that it violated the short swing profit rules enacted under Section
16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and wishing to reach
an amicable solution in order to avoid the costs and uncertainties of protracted
and time consuming litigation, the parties agreed that the obligation to issue
750,000 shares of our common stock to Belmont will be considered as satisfied in
full by Belmont with the issuance of three hundred fifty thousand (350,000)
restricted shares of our common stock. Such shares were issued to
Belmont on November 5, 2010. The Company recorded an expense of $52,500 related
to this issuance and it was included in other income (expense) on the Statement
of Operations.
NOTE 13 –
TAXES
There is
no income tax provision (benefit) for federal or state income taxes as the
Company has incurred operating losses since inception. Deferred income taxes
reflect the net tax effects of net operating loss and tax credit carryovers and
temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax
purposes.
Utilization
of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to a
substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided
by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions.
The Company may have experienced a change of control that could result in a
substantial reduction to the previously reported net operating loss
carryforwards at June 30, 2010; however, the Company has not performed a change
of control study and, therefore, has not determined if such change has taken
place and if such a change has occurred the related reduction to the net
operating loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2010, the net
operating loss carryforwards continue to be fully reserved and any reduction in
such amounts as a result of this study would also reduce the related valuation
allowances resulting in no net impact to the financial results of the
Company.
16
The
Company applies the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)
Interpretation No.48 (“FIN 48”) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” As of December 31, 2010,
there was no significant liability for income tax associated with unrecognized
tax benefits.
With few
exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local,
and non-U.S. income tax examination by tax authorities for tax years before
2003.

Preferred Stock
– In connection with the Merger and pursuant to the Merger Agreement,
each Liberator Preferred Share was to be converted into one share of WES
Preferred Stock with the provisions, rights, and designations set forth in the
Merger Agreement. On the execution date of the Merger Agreement, the
Company was not authorized to issue any preferred stock, and the parties agreed
that the Company will take the appropriate steps to file an amendment to its
Articles of Incorporation authorizing the issuance of the WES Preferred Stock,
and at such time the WES Preferred Stock will be exchanged pursuant to the terms
of the Merger Agreement. The WES Preferred Stock will have similar
rights and preferences as the Liberator Preferred Shares and will be convertible
into 4,300,000 shares of common stock after July 1, 2011.
At such
time as the Company has filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation
authorizing the issuance of the WES Preferred Stock, the Company will have
10,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock, par value $.0001 per share, of
which 4,300,000 shares will be designated as Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock.

Net sales
for the three months ended December 31, 2010 increased from the comparable prior
year period by $662,967, or 22%. The increase in sales was primarily
the result of higher sales in the Wholesale channel and, to a lesser extent, the
Direct channel. As a result of a continued focus on our Wholesale
business, sales to wholesale customers during the second quarter increased
approximately 41% from the prior year. The Wholesale category
includes Liberator branded products sold to retailers, non-Liberator products
sold to retailers, and private label items sold to other resellers. The
Wholesale category also includes contract manufacturing services, which consists
of specialty items that are manufactured in small quantities for certain
customers, and which, to date, has not been a material part of our business.
Sales of Tenga products during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, of which 96%
were sold through the Wholesale channel, accounted for $458,760 of the increase
in total net sales and $136,932 of the increase in gross profit. The
Direct category (which includes product sales through our two e-commerce sites
and our single retail store) increased from $1,381,818 in the second quarter of
fiscal 2010 to $1,502,426 in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, an increase of
approximately 9%, or $120,608. The increase in Direct sales during
the second quarter of fiscal 2011 is primarily the result of sales of
non-Liberator products through that channel.
Gross
profit, derived from net sales less the cost of goods sold, includes the cost of
materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead, freight costs and
depreciation. Gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased to 25%
for the three months ended December 31, 2010 from 35% in the comparable prior
year period. This is the result of a decrease in the margin on Direct
sales (from 52% to 44%) and a decrease in margin on Wholesale sales (from 26% to
19%) during the quarter. In addition, the Other margin decreased from
zero to a negative 30%. The decline in the Direct margin was the
result of more frequent discounting of Liberator products during the quarter
and, to a lesser extent, a change in the mix of products sold. The decrease in
the Wholesale margin was the result of a change in product mix during the
current quarter from the same quarter in the prior year.
One of
the most frequent consumer discount offers during the three months ended
December 31, 2010 was “free” or significantly reduced shipping and handling,
which accounts for the decrease in the Other category revenue and gross profit
from the prior year comparable period. In the current competitive
environment, we anticipate the need to continue to offer “free” or reduced
shipping and handling to consumers as a promotional tool.
Total
operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2010 were 30% of net
sales, or $1,119,329, compared to 39% of net sales, or $1,182,390, for the same
period in the prior year. The 5% decrease in operating expenses was
primarily the result of lower Advertising and promotion expense and Depreciation
expense, offset in part by slightly higher Other selling and marketing expense
and General and administrative expense. General and Administrative
expense increased by 4%, or $24,822, as a result of higher legal expense
($72,643), offset in part by lower insurance expense ($37,093). Total
legal expense during the three months ended December 31, 2010 was
$83,363. Other Selling and Marketing expense increased by 15%, or
$43,090, primarily as a result of higher personnel related costs ($68,465),
offset in part by lower internet costs.
Other
income (expense) during the second quarter increased from expense of ($50,358)
in fiscal 2010 to expense of ($177,464) in fiscal 2011. Interest
expense and financing costs in the current quarter included $12,257 from the
amortization of the debt discount on the convertible notes and $48,000 in
interest expense related to the one-time finance charge on the credit card
advance. Expenses related to the merger ($52,500) consists of the fair market
value of the 350,000 shares issued to Belmont Partners, LLC in connection with a
Settlement Agreement and General Release we entered into on October 13,
2010.
No
expense or benefit from income taxes was recorded in the three months ended
December 31, 2010 or 2009. We do not expect any U.S. federal or state
income taxes to be recorded for the current fiscal year because of available net
operating loss carry-forwards.
We had a
net loss of $361,489, or $(0.01) per diluted share, for the three months ended
December 31, 2010 compared with a net loss of $156,116, or ($0.00) per diluted
share, for the three months ended December 31, 2009.

Net sales
for the six months ended December 31, 2010 increased from the comparable prior
year period by $1,252,073, or 25%. The increase in sales was
primarily the result of higher sales in the Wholesale channel and, to a lesser
extent, the Direct channel. As a result of a continued focus on our
Wholesale business, sales to wholesale customers during the first half of fiscal
2011 increased approximately 51% from the prior year. The Wholesale
category includes Liberator branded products sold to distributors and retailers,
non-Liberator products sold to retailers, and private label items sold to other
resellers. The Wholesale category also includes contract manufacturing services,
which consists of specialty items that are manufactured in small quantities for
certain customers, and which, to date, has not been a material part of our
business. Sales of Tenga products during the first six months of fiscal 2011, of
which 96% were sold through the Wholesale channel, accounted for $840,189 of the
increase in total net sales and $259,107 of the increase in gross
profit. Sales through the Direct category (which includes product
sales through our two e-commerce sites and our single retail store) increased
from $2,551,606 in the first half of fiscal 2010 to $2,703,153 in the first half
of fiscal 2011, an increase of approximately 6%, or $151,547. The
increase in Direct sales during the first six months of fiscal 2011 is due to
higher sales of both Liberator and non-Liberator products.
Gross
profit, derived from net sales less the cost of goods sold, includes the cost of
materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead, freight costs and
depreciation. Total gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased
to 29% for the six months ended December 31, 2010 from 34% in the comparable
prior year period. This is the result of a decrease in the margin on
Direct sales (from 48% to 46%) and a decrease in margin on Wholesale sales (from
26% to 21%) during the six month period. The decline in the Direct
margin was the result of more frequent discounting of Liberator products during
the six months and, to a lesser extent, a change in the mix of products sold.
The decrease in the Wholesale margin was the result of a change in product mix
during the first half of fiscal 2011 from the same period in the prior fiscal
year. This change in Wholesale product mix occurred principally in the second
quarter resulting in higher sales of non-Liberator products during that
period.
Total
operating expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2010 were 35% of net
sales, or $2,213,842, compared to 42% of net sales, or $2,106,578, for the same
period in the prior year. The 5% increase in operating expenses was
primarily the result of higher Other selling and marketing expense and General
and administrative expense offset in part by lower Advertising and promotion
expense and Depreciation expense. Other selling and marketing expense
increased by 23%, or $127,504, primarily as a result of higher personnel related
costs ($186,383), offset in part by lower internet costs ($51,520). General and
administrative expense increased by 16%, or $166,310, as a result of higher
legal expense ($123,563), personnel costs ($63,834) and facilities related costs
($43,628), offset in part by lower insurance expense ($27,495) and lower
computer software and network related costs ($14,760). Total legal
expense during the six months ended December 31, 2010 was $149,500.
22
Other
income (expense) during the first six months of fiscal 2011 decreased from
expense of ($299,103) in fiscal 2010 to expense of ($245,365) in fiscal
2011. Interest expense and financing costs in the current year
included $24,514 from the amortization of the debt discount on the convertible
notes and $48,000 in interest expense related to the one-time finance charge on
the credit card advance. Expenses related to merger ($52,500) in the current
year consist of the fair market value of the 350,000 shares issued to Belmont
Partners, LLC in connection with a Settlement Agreement and General Release we
entered into on October 13, 2010. Expenses related to merger in the prior year
consist of the $192,167 for the discounted face value of the $250,000
convertible note payable to Hope Capital, Inc., a shareholder of the
Company.
No
expense or benefit from income taxes was recorded in the six months ended
December 31, 2010 or 2009. We do not expect any U.S. federal or state
income taxes to be recorded for the current fiscal year because of available net
operating loss carry-forwards.
We had a
net loss of $604,047, or ($0.01) per diluted share, for the six months ended
December 31, 2010 compared with a net loss of $670,873, or ($0.01) per diluted
share, for the six months ended December 31, 2009.
Variability of
Results
We have
experienced significant quarterly fluctuations in operating results and
anticipate that these fluctuations may continue in future periods. As described
in previous paragraphs, operating results have fluctuated as a result of changes
in sales levels to consumers and wholesalers, competition, costs associated with
new product introductions, and increases in raw material costs. In addition,
future operating results may fluctuate as a result of factors beyond our control
such as foreign exchange fluctuation, changes in government regulations, and
economic changes in the regions in which we operate and sell. A
portion of our operating expenses are relatively fixed and the timing of
increases in expense levels is based in large part on forecasts of future sales.
Therefore, if net sales are below expectations in any given period, the adverse
impact on results of operations may be magnified by our inability to
meaningfully adjust spending in certain areas, or the inability to adjust
spending quickly enough, as in personnel and administrative costs, to compensate
for a sales shortfall. We may also choose to reduce prices or increase spending
in response to market conditions, and these decisions may have a material
adverse effect on financial condition and results of operations.
Financial
Condition
Cash and
cash equivalents decreased $4,688 to $383,971 at December 31, 2010 from $388,659
at June 30, 2010. This decrease in cash resulted from cash used in operating
activities of $614,251, cash used in investing activities of $50,156, and cash
provided by financing activities of $659,719, as more fully described
below.
Cash used
in operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2010 represents
the results of operations adjusted for non-cash depreciation ($109,503) and the
non-cash deferred rent accrual reversal of $15,029, the amortization of the debt
discount on the convertible notes of $24,514 and the expenses related to our
merger with Liberator, Inc. of $52,500. Significant changes in operating assets
and liabilities during the six months ended December 31, 2010 include an
increase in accounts receivable of $517,038, an increase in inventory of
$229,880 and an increase in accounts payable of $550,786.
Cash
flows used in investing activities reflects capital expenditures during the six
months ended December 31, 2010 of $50,156.
Cash
flows provided by financing activities are attributable to the net increase in
the asset-based line of credit of $346,023, proceeds from the credit card cash
advance of $400,000 less repayments of $91,342 and borrowings under notes
payable of $220,000 less repayments of $147,725.
As of
December 31, 2010, our net accounts receivable increased by $517,039, or 92%, to
$1,079,910 from $562,872 at June 30, 2010. The increase in accounts receivable
is primarily the result of increased sales to certain wholesale customers during
December 2010 as these customers typically increase their purchases in advance
of Christmas and Valentine’s Day. Management believes that our accounts
receivable are collectible net of the allowance for doubtful accounts of $9,559
at December 31, 2010.
23
Our net
inventory increased by $229,880, or 25%, to $1,138,731 as of December 31, 2010
compared to $908,851 as of June 30, 2010. The increase reflects an increase in
finished goods inventory in anticipation of increased product sales during the
three months ended March 31, 2011.
Accounts
payable increased by $550,786, or 35%, to $2,129,924 as of December 31, 2010
compared to $1,579,138 as of June 30, 2010. The increase in accounts payable was
primarily the result of an increase in raw materials purchases in advance of
Christmas and Valentine’s Day.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
At
December 31, 2010, our working capital deficiency was $967,550, an increase of
$288,151 compared to the deficiency of $679,399 at June 30,
2010. Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2010 totaled
$383,971, a decrease of $4,688 from $388,659 at June 30, 2010.
At
December 31, 2010, we had $666,207 outstanding on our line of credit,
compared to an outstanding balance of $320,184 at June 30,
2010.
On May
17, 2010, OneUp Innovations, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a
credit facility to provide it with an asset based line of credit of up to
$600,000 against 80% of eligible accounts receivable (as defined in the
agreement.) The term of the agreement is one year, renewable for
additional one-year terms unless either party provides written notice of
non-renewal at least 60 days prior to the end of the current financing period.
The credit facility is secured by our accounts receivable and other rights to
payment, general intangibles, inventory, and equipment, and are subject to
eligibility requirements for current accounts receivable and inventory balances.
Advances under the agreement bear interest at a rate of 2% over the prime rate
(5.25% as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010) for the accounts receivable
portion of the advances and the inventory portion of the
borrowings. In addition, there are collateral management fees of 0.4%
for each 10-day period that an advance on an accounts receivable invoice remains
outstanding and a 1.9% collateral management fee on the average monthly loan
outstanding on the inventory portion of any advance. As of December 31,
2010, we had $666,207 outstanding on this line of credit. Our CEO,
Louis S. Friedman, personally guaranteed the repayment of the loan
obligation. On December 31, 2010, we were in compliance with all
of the financial and other covenants required under this credit
facility. During the second quarter ended December 31, 2010, the
lender authorized a temporary increase in the credit limit to $750,000 until
January 31, 2011.
As
described in Note 10 – Credit Card Advance, on November 4, 2010, our wholly
owned subsidiary, OneUp Innovations, Inc. (“OneUp”), and OneUp’s wholly
owned subsidiary, Foam Labs, Inc. (“Foam Labs”), entered into a receivable
advance agreement with CC Funding, LLC (“Credit Cash”), a division of Credit
Cash NJ, LLC whereby Credit Cash agreed to loan OneUp $400,000. The loan is
secured by OneUp’s and Foam Lab’s existing and future credit card collections.
Terms of the loan call for a repayment of $448,000, which includes a one-time
finance charge of $48,000, by May 4, 2011. This will be accomplished
by Credit Cash withholding a fixed amount each business day of $3,446 from
OneUp’s credit card receipts until full repayment is made. The loan is
guaranteed by the Company and is personally guaranteed by Mr. Friedman and our
CFO, Ronald P. Scott.
Management
believes anticipated cash flows generated from operations during the third
quarter of fiscal 2011 along with current cash and cash equivalents as well as
borrowing capacity under the line of credit and borrowings under the receivable
advance agreement with Credit Cash should be sufficient to finance current
working capital requirements during the next twelve months. However, if product
sales are less than anticipated during the six months ended June 30, 2011, we
may need to raise additional funding in the near term to meet our working
capital requirements. If we raise additional capital by issuing equity
securities, our existing stockholders’ ownership will be diluted. We
cannot provide assurance that additional financing will be available in the near
term when needed, particularly in light of the current economic environment and
adverse conditions in the financial markets, or that, if available, financing
will be obtained on terms favorable to the Company or to our
stockholders. If we require additional financing in the near-term and
are unable to obtain it, this will adversely affect our ability to operate as a
going concern and may require the Company to substantially scale back operations
or cease operations altogether.
Sufficiency of
Liquidity
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates continuation of the
Company as a going concern. We incurred a net loss of $604,047 for the six
months ended December 31, 2010 and a net loss of $1,033,952 for the year ended
June 30, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, we have an accumulated deficit of
$6,779,578 and a working capital deficit of $967,550.
24
In view
of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the
accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the
Company, which in turn is dependent upon our ability to meet our financing
requirements, and the success of our future operations. Management believes that
actions presently being taken to revise our operating and financial requirements
provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going
concern.
These
actions include initiatives to increase gross profit margins through improved
production controls and manufacturing reporting. To that end, the Company
implemented a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software system during the
first quarter of fiscal 2010. We also plan to manage discretionary expense
levels to be better aligned with current and expected revenue levels.
Furthermore, our plan of operation during the next twelve months continues a
strategy for growth within our existing lines of business with an on-going focus
on growing domestic sales. We estimate that the operational and strategic growth
plans we have identified will require approximately $2,300,000 of funding. We
expect to invest approximately $500,000 for additional inventory of sexual
wellness products and $1,800,000 on sales and marketing programs, primarily
sexual wellness advertising in magazines and on cable television. We will also
be exploring the opportunity to acquire other compatible
businesses.
We plan
to finance the required $2,300,000 with a combination of cash flow from
operations as well as cash on hand and cash raised through equity and debt
financings.
As
previously reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 2, 2011,
the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of Web Merchants, Inc
(“WMI”). We pursued the acquisition of WMI to increase our presence
in the sexual wellness market and to begin to develop a business portfolio with
significant growth opportunities. Although there can be no assurance
in this regard, we believe that the WMI acquisition will provide the Company
with sufficient sales revenue and gross profit to allow the Company to be
profitable on an annual basis. Web Merchants, Inc. had net revenues
of $7.6 million in 2009 and net revenues of $6.2 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2010. As part of the acquisition, Web Merchants, Inc.
will relocate their New Jersey facility to the 140,000 square foot WES
Consulting, Inc. headquarters and fulfillment center in Atlanta,
GA. Full integration of the companies is expected to be completed by
April of 2011.
Capital
Resources
We do not
currently have any material commitments for capital expenditures. We expect
total capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal 2011 to be under $25,000
and to be funded by capital leases and, to a lesser extent, anticipated
operating cash flows and borrowings under the line of credit. This includes
capital expenditures in support of our normal operations and the integration of
Web Merchants, Inc., a Delaware corporation that we acquired on January 27, 2011
and expenditures that we may incur in conjunction with initiatives to further
upgrade our e-commerce platform and ERP system.
If our
business plans and cost estimates are inaccurate and our operations require
additional cash or if we deviate from our current plans, we could be required to
seek additional debt financing for particular projects or for ongoing
operational needs. This indebtedness could harm our business if we
are unable to obtain additional financing on reasonable terms. In
addition, any indebtedness we incur in the future could subject us to
restrictive covenants limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to
changes in, our business. If we do not comply with such covenants,
our lenders could accelerate repayment of our debt or restrict our access to
further borrowings, which in turn could restrict our operating flexibility and
endanger our ability to continue operations.
ITEM
4. Controls
and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and
Procedures
We
maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that we file or
submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported
within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files
or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As of the end of the
period covered by this quarterly report, an evaluation was carried out under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
principal executive officer (Chief Executive Officer) and principal financial
officer (Chief Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the
period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, were effective at the
reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by the Company in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in United States Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports
that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to
the management, including CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosures.
