WES
CONSULTING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As
of September 30, 2010
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND
NATURE OF BUSINESS
Overview
– WES Consulting, Inc.
(the “Company”) was incorporated 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
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 includes 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 no one customer accounting for 10% or more of
consolidated net sales and no particular concentration of credit risk in one
economic sector. 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 $242,559 and $514,756 for the three months ended September, 2010
and 2009, respectively. As of September 30, 2010 the Company has an accumulated
deficit of $6,418,090 and a working capital deficit of $923,940.
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.
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.
6
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. However, management cannot provide any assurances that
the Company will be successful in accomplishing these plans. The
accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be
necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
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.
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.
7
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 September 30, 2010, accounts
receivable totaled $542,821 net of $14,029 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 September 30, 2010, substantially all of our cash
and cash equivalents were managed by a single financial
institution. As of September 30, 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
September 30, 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.
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 $17,310 at September 30, 2010 and $60,427 at June 30, 2010. Advertising
expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $125,379 and
$178,132, respectively.
Research
and Development
Research
and development expenses for new products are expensed as they are
incurred. Expenses for new product development totaled $31,924 for
the three months ended September 30, 2010 and $31,120 for the three months ended
September 30, 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.
8
Net sales
for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 includes amounts charged
to customers of $239,775 and $162,938, 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 September 30, 2010.
Operating
Leases
The
Company leases its facility under a ten year operating lease that was signed in
September 2005 and expires on December 31, 2015. The lease is on an
escalating schedule with payments during 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 September 30, 2010 was $324,056. Rent expense under this lease for
the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $80,931. The
Company also leases certain equipment under operating leases, as more fully
described in Note 10.
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.
Segment
Information
During
the three months ended September 30, 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 September 30, 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.
9
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 three months ended
September 30, 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.
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 months ended
September 30, 2010 and 2009 as the Company had losses from operations during the
three month periods in both years and therefore the effect of all potential
common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive (reduces loss per share).
There
were approximately 7,209,849 and 5,650,849 securities excluded from the
calculation of diluted loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive for
the three months ended September 30, 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
As of
September 30, 2010, the Company had the following shareholder approved stock
plan under which shares were available for equity based awards. The
2009 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), wherein 5,000,000 shares are reserved for
issuance until the Plan terminates on October 20, 2019.
10
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 September 30, 2010, the number of
shares available for issuance under the Plan was 4,191,000.

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 awards with market or performance
conditions.
Stock-based
compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of
operations for the three month periods ended September 30, 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 months ended September 30,
2010.

NOTE 8 – 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2010, the
balance owed under this line of credit was $305,051 and on June 30, 2010, the
balance owed was $320,184. The Company’s CEO, Louis Friedman, has
personally guaranteed the repayment of the loan obligation. On
September 30, 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, as
defined in the agreement. The balance owed under this line of credit
was repaid on May 17, 2010.
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 operating and capital requirements during the next 12 months. If new
business opportunities do arise, additional outside funding may be
required.
NOTE 9 – 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 $92,869 at September 30, 2010 and $99,664 at June
30, 2010.

NOTE 10 – 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 September 30, 2010 was $324,056
and $331,570 at June 30, 2010. The rent expense under this lease for the three
months ended September 30, 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. Upon
expiration of the initial letter of credit, a letter of credit in the amount of
$25,000 in lieu of a security deposit is required to be
provided. Fidelity Bank issued a standby letter of credit on
September 29, 2005. 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 $225,000.
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
monthly lease amount is $1,587 per month and expires in September
2015.

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
WES 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, and wishing to reach an
amicable solution in order to avoid the costs and uncertainties of protracted
and time consuming litigation, the Parties have agreed that the obligation to
issue 750,000 shares of WES common stock to Belmont Partners, LLC will be
considered as satisfied in full by Belmont Partners, LLC with the issuance of
three hundred fifty thousand (350,000) restricted shares of WES common
stock. Such shares were issued to Belmont on November 5,
2010.
NOTE 11–
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 losses 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 September 30, 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.
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 September 30, 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
– On October 19, 2009, the Company entered into a Merger and
Recapitalization Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with
Liberator. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Liberator merged with
and into the Company, with the Company surviving as the sole remaining entity
(the “Merger”).
Pursuant
to the Merger Agreement, each share of preferred stock of Liberator (the
“Liberator Preferred Shares”) were to be converted into one share of the
Company’s preferred stock with the provisions, rights, and designations set
forth in the Agreement (the “WES Preferred Stock”). 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.

As of September 30, 2010, outstanding warrants to purchase approximately
2,712,393 shares of common stock at exercise prices of $.25 to $1.00 will expire
at various dates within five years of March 31, 2010.
There are
2,462,393 warrants outstanding that were issued during fiscal 2009 in
conjunction with the reverse merger between Liberator and OneUp Innovations. All
of these warrants are exercisable immediately and expire on June 26, 2014, which

prices of $.50 per share (292,479 warrants), $.75 per share (292,479
warrants), and $1.00 per share (877,435 warrants.) The Company valued
these warrants at $8,716 using the above assumptions, and the expense was

with the purchase of majority control by Liberator to purchase 250,000 shares of
common stock at a fixed price of $.25 per share. The warrants were fully vested
when granted and expire on September 2, 2012. These warrants were
valued using a volatility rate of 25%, a risk-free interest rate of 4.5%, and a
fair market value on the date of grant of $.25. The warrants were
valued at $14,458 and were expensed as an expense related to the purchase of
majority control by Liberator during the three months ended September 30,
2009.
NOTE 13 – RELATED
PARTIES
On June
30, 2008, the Company had a subordinated note payable to its majority
shareholder and CEO in the amount of $310,000 and its majority shareholder’s
wife, who is also its Treasurer, in the amount of $395,000. During
fiscal 2009, the majority shareholder loaned the Company an additional $91,000,
and a former director loaned the Company $29,948. On June 26, 2009,
in connection with the merger between OneUp and Liberator, the majority
shareholder and his wife agreed to convert $700,000 of principal balance and
$132,120 of accrued but unpaid interest to preferred stock. Interest
during fiscal 2010 was accrued at the prevailing prime rate (which was 3.25%
during the entire fiscal year) and totaled $3,544. The interest accrued on these
notes during the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $861. The notes are
subordinate to all other credit facilities currently in place. As of September 30,
2010, the Company owes the former director (and current shareholder) $29,948 and
the majority shareholder’s wife $76,000.

maturity date of August 15, 2012. Upon maturity, the issuer has the
option to either repay the note plus accrued interest in cash or issue the
equivalent number of shares of common stock at $.25 per share. As of September
30, 2010, the 3% convertible note payable is carried net of the fair market
value of the embedded conversion feature of $52,063. This amount will
be amortized over the remaining life of the note as additional interest

Results of
Operations
First
Quarter of Fiscal 2011 Compared to First Quarter of Fiscal 2010
Net sales
for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased from the comparable
prior year period by $589,106, or 29%. 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 quarter
increased approximately 71% from the prior year. The Wholesale
category includes Liberator branded products sold to distributors and retailers,
non-Liberator products distributed 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 quarter of fiscal
2011, of which 94% were sold through the Wholesale channel, accounted for
$381,429 of the increase in total net sales and $122,175 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
$1,169,788 in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 to $1,200,727 in the first
quarter of fiscal 2011, an increase of approximately 3%, or
$30,939. This slight increase in Direct sales during the first
quarter of fiscal 2011 is primarily the result of sales of Tenga products
through the Direct 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 increased to 35%
for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from 32% in the comparable prior
year period. This is the result of an increase in the margin on Direct
sales (from 43% to 48%) and a decrease in margin on Wholesale sales (from 27% to
24%) during the quarter, offset in part by a increase in the Other margin
from negative 15% to a positive 24%. The improvement in
the Direct margin was the result of a price increase that was implemented
earlier this fiscal year, the introduction of several new products during the
last half of fiscal 2010, 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.
Total
operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were 42% of net
sales, or $1,094,514, compared to 45% of net sales, or $924,186, for the same
period in the prior year. The 3% increase in operating expenses was
primarily the result of higher General and Administrative and Other Selling and
Marketing expense, offset in part by slightly lower Advertising and Promotion
expense and Depreciation expense. General and Administrative expense
increased by 32%, or $139,676, as a result of higher legal expense ($45,693),
higher personnel related costs ($54,293) and higher utility costs ($12,777).
Other Selling and Marketing expense increased by 34%, or $86,230, primarily as a
result of higher personnel related costs ($114,579), offset in part by lower
internet and promotion costs.
Other
income (expense) during the first quarter decreased from expense of ($248,747)
in fiscal 2010 to expense of ($67,901) 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.
No
expense or benefit from income taxes was recorded in the three months ended
September 30, 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 $242,559, or $(0.00) per diluted share, for the three months ended
September 30, 2010 compared with a net loss of $514,756, or ($0.01) per diluted
share, for the three months ended September 30, 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 significant portion of our operating expenses are relatively
fixed, and the timing of any 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 by $243,940 to $144,719 at September 30, 2010 from
$388,659 at June 30, 2010. This decrease in cash resulted from cash used in
operating activities of $153,285, cash used in investing activities of $31,078,
and cash used in financing activities of $59,576, as more fully described
below.
Cash used
in operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2010 represents
the results of operations adjusted for non-cash depreciation $55,924, the
non-cash deferred rent accrual reversal of $7,514, and amortization of the debt
discount on the convertible notes of $12,257. Primary sources of cash during the
three months ended September 30, 2010 include a decrease in accounts receivable
of $20,051, an increase in accounts payable of $153,419 and a decrease in
prepaid expenses and other assets of $162,851. Cash was used to
increase inventory by $280,985 and decrease accrued compensation by $37,233
during the three months ended September 30, 2010.
Cash
flows used in investing activities reflects capital expenditures of $31,078
during the three months ended September, 2010.
Cash
flows used in financing activities consisted primarily of repayments and
borrowings under the line of credit of $867,133 and $852,000,
respectively. Repayment of the unsecured lines of credit was
$6,795. Repayments and borrowings of short term note payables were
$64,911 and $60,000, respectively, and repayment of equipment notes payable and
capital leases totaled $32,737.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
At
September 30, 2010, our working capital deficiency was $923,940, a decrease in
working capital of $244,541 compared to the deficiency of $679,399 at June 30,
2010. Cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2010 totaled $144,719, a
decrease of $243,940 from $388,659 at June 30, 2010.
At
September 30, 2010, we had $305,051 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 September 30, 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 September 30,
2010, we had $305,051 outstanding on this line of credit. The
Company’s CEO, Louis S. Friedman, has personally guaranteed the repayment of the
loan obligation. On September 30, 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 provided credit of up 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, as defined in the agreement. The balance owed under this line of
credit was repaid on May 17, 2010.
As
described in Note 16 –
Subsequent Events, 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 $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.
Management
believes anticipated cash flows generated from operations during the second
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 working
capital requirements required by operations during the next twelve months.
However, if product sales are less than anticipated during the six months ended
March 31, 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.
20
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 $242,559 for the three
months ended September 30, 2010 and a net loss of $1,033,952 for the year ended
June 30, 2010. As of September 30, 2010, we have an accumulated deficit of
$6,418,090 and a working capital deficit of $923,940.
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.
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 $50,000
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 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
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risk
We do not
enter into any transactions using derivative financial instruments or derivative
commodity instruments and believe that our exposure to market risk associated
with other financial instruments is not material.
We have
one line of credit which adjusts upon a change of the prime rate. As such,
we are exposed to the interest rate risk whereby a 1% increase in the prime rate
would lead to an increase of approximately $3,100 in interest expense for the
year ending June 30, 2011 (based on September 30, 2010 amounts
outstanding).
