WES
CONSULTING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
As
of March 31, 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 include the
Company’s 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”) were 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, and 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 eighty point seven (80.7%) percent of the
issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Upon the
consummation of the Merger, the WES Common Stock owned by Liberator prior to the
Agreement were cancelled.
The
Merger Agreement 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.
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 $646,504 and $693,436 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and
2009, respectively. As of March 31, 2010, the Company has an accumulated deficit
of $5,955,962 and a working capital deficit of $373,911.
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 initiatives to increase gross profit margins through improved
production controls and reporting. To that end, the Company recently implemented
a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software system. We also plan to reduce
discretionary expense levels to be better aligned with current 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 development plans we have identified will require approximately
$2,000,000 of funding. We expect to invest approximately $200,000 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 $2,000,000 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 December 31, 2008 filed on February 18,
2009 and Amendment to Form 10-K filed on May 28, 2009. In addition, these
consolidated condensed financial statements and notes should also be read in
conjunction with the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 22,
2009 and Amendment to Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 24, 2010, and
Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended December 31, 2009 filed on February
19, 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 March 31, 2010, accounts
receivable totaled $457,825 net of $15,178 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 March 31,
2010, substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents were managed by a
number of financial institutions. As of March 31, 2010, none of our
cash and cash equivalents with these financial institutions 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 March
31, 2010, our financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, and other long-term debt.
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 $42,110 at March 31, 2010 and $57,625 at June 30, 2009. Advertising expense
for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $142,344 and $213,203,
respectively. Advertising expense for the nine months ended March 31,
2010 and 2009 was $560,346 and $764,437, respectively.
Research
and Development
Research
and development expenses for new products are expensed as they are
incurred. Expenses for new product development totaled $36,903 for
the three months ended March 31, 2010 and $22,647 for the three months ended
March 31, 2009. For the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009,
expenses for new product development totaled $105,603 and $142,544,
respectively. Research and development costs are included in general and
administrative expense.
8
Shipping and
Handling
Net sales
for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 includes amounts charged to
customers of $287,357 and $298,518, respectively, for shipping and handling
charges. For the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, net sales includes
amount charged to customers of $753,010 and $895,128, respectively.
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.
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
March 31, 2010 was $339,084. Rent expense under this lease for the
three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $80,931. Rent expense under this
lease for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was
$242,793.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes using an asset and liability approach.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and operating loss and
tax credit carryforwards measured by applying currently enacted tax laws. A
valuation allowance is provided to reduce net deferred tax assets to an amount
that is more likely than not to be realized. The amount of the valuation
allowance is based on the Company’s best estimate of the recoverability of its
deferred tax assets. On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted new accounting
guidance for the accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions. This
guidance seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain
aspects of measurement and recognition in accounting for income taxes and
provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, and
accounting in interim periods and requires expanded disclosure with respect to
the uncertainty in income taxes. The accounting guidance requires that the
Company recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position if
that position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit, based on the
technical merits of the position.
Segment
Information
During
the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company only
operated in one segment; therefore, segment information has not been
presented.
New
Accounting Pronouncements
In
June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
the Accounting Standards Codification ™ (“ASC”) as the sole source of
authoritative non-governmental GAAP. The ASC supersedes all non-grandfathered,
non-SEC accounting literature but does not change how the Company accounts for
transactions or the nature of related disclosures made. Instead, when referring
to guidance issued by the FASB, the Company refers to topics in the ASC rather
than individual pronouncements. The Company has adopted the ASC, which became
effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009,
and adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
In
July 2009, the Company adopted authoritative guidance for business
combinations in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” The
guidance retains the fundamental requirements that the acquisition method of
accounting (previously referred to as the purchase method of accounting) be used
for all business combinations but introduced a number of changes, including the
way assets and liabilities are valued, recognized, and measured as a result of
business combinations. ASC 805 requires an acquisition date fair value
measurement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. It also requires the
capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value and requires
acquisition-related costs to be expensed as incurred. The Company has applied
this guidance to business combinations completed since July 1,
2009.
9
In
January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair
Value Measurements”, which is an update to Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement
and Disclosures.” This update establishes further disclosure requirements
regarding transfers in and out of levels 1 and 2, and activity in level 3 fair
value measurements. In addition, companies will be required to disclose
quantitative information about the inputs used in determining fair values. ASU
2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2009, except for the new Level 3 disclosures which become
effective after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted ASU 2010-06 on
January 1, 2010, and the adoption had no impact on the Company’s financial
position or results of operations as it only amends required
disclosures.
In
February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, “Subsequent Events (Topic
855).” The amendments remove the requirements for an SEC filer
to disclose a date, in both issued and revised financial statements, through
which subsequent events have been reviewed. Revised financial
statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction
of an error or retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. ASU 2010-09 is
effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15,
2010. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-09 to
have a material effect on its 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.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share of Common
Stock
Basic
earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed on the
basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the
potentially dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants using the
“treasury stock” method and convertible securities using the “if-converted”
method.
The
Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” The following table
sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common
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 5,962,393 and 438,456 securities excluded from the calculation of
diluted loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive for the nine
months ended March 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
On
October 16, 2009, the Company’s Board of Director approved the 2009 Stock Option
Plan (the “Plan”), subject to approval by a majority vote of the shareholders.
On October 20, 2009, the holders of a majority of our voting stock approved the
Plan. The Plan reserves a total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock
for issuance under the Plan. On that date, the Board of Directors also approved
the grant of 1,077,000 stock options to 80 employees, including two officers of
the Company. These options have a five year term and are exercisable
at 25% a year, beginning on the first anniversary of the grant
date. As of March 31, 2010, 4,054,000 shares of common stock
were available for grant under the Company’s Plan.
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 nine month periods ended March 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.

As
stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Condensed Consolidated
Statement of Operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has
been reduced for estimated forfeitures in accordance with authoritative
guidance. The Company estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and
revises the original estimates, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual
forfeitures differ from those estimates.
As of
March 31, 2010, the Company’s total unrecognized compensation cost was
$44,850, which will be recognized over the vesting period of 4 years. The
Company calculated the fair value of stock-based awards in the periods presented

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 March 31,

NOTE 7 – REVOLVING
LINE OF CREDIT
On
November 10, 2009, the Company entered into a loan agreement for a revolving
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. On March 31, 2010, the balance owed
under this revolving line of credit was $201,616.
On March
19, 2008, the Company entered into a loan agreement for a revolving line of
credit with a commercial finance company that provides credit to 85% of accounts
receivable aged less than 90 days up to $500,000 and eligible inventory (as
defined in the agreement) up to a sub-limit of $220,000, such inventory loan not
to exceed 30% of the accounts receivable loan. Borrowings under the agreement
bear interest at the Prime rate plus 2% (5.25% at June 30, 2009), payable
monthly, plus a monthly service charge of 1.25% to 1.5%, depending on the
underlying collateral. On June 30, 2009, the balance owed under this
revolving line of credit was $171,433, and the loan was fully repaid on August
11, 2009.
13
Management
believes cash flows generated from operations, along with current cash and
borrowing capacity under the existing revolving 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 8 – CREDIT CARD
ADVANCE
On July
2, 2008, the Company received $350,000 from a finance company under the
terms of a credit facility that is secured by the Company’s future credit
card receivables. Terms of the credit facility require repayment on
each business day of principal and interest at a daily rate of $1,507 over a
twelve month period. The credit facility had a financing fee of 12% (equal to
$42,000) on the principal amount, which equates to an effective annual
interest rate of 21.1%. The credit facility is personally guaranteed
by the Company’s CEO and majority shareholder, Louis Friedman. On
June 3, 2009, the Company borrowed an additional $200,000 under this credit
facility. Terms of the current loan require repayment on each business day of
principal and interest at a daily rate of $1,723.08 over a six month period. The
current loan has a financing fee of 12% (equal to $24,000) on the principal
amount, which equates to an effective annual interest rate of
43.2%. The amount owed on the credit card advance was $0 at March 31,
2010 and $198,935 at June 30, 2009.
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 $106,290 at March 31, 2010 and $124,989 at June
30, 2009.
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 March 31, 2010 was $339,084 and
$356,308 at June 30, 2009. The rent expense under this lease for the three
months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $80,931, and for the nine months ended
March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $242,793.
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 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.

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 the one (1) year anniversary of the closing.
The
Company will deliver the balance 750,000 shares of common stock provided,
however, that in the event that the Company makes a claim for indemnification
pursuant to Section 7(a) of the Stock Purchase Agreement prior to the one (1)
year anniversary, the number of balance shares will be reduced by the result of
the following amount: (a) the amount of the indemnity claim pursuant to Section
7(a); divided by (b) the five (5) day average price per share of the Company’s
common stock as quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or other
electronic quotation system.
Pursuant
to a private placement memorandum and subscription agreement, on January 29,
2010, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to 12 individuals and
entities in the aggregate amount of $300,000. All of the shares were
sold to “accredited investors” as defined in 501(a) of the Securities
Act. Pursuant to Rule 506, all shares purchased in the Regulation D
Rule 506 offering were restricted in accordance with Rule 144 of the Securities
Act of 1933.
Pursuant
to an engagement letter with New Castle Financial Services, on January 29, 2010,
the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock to New Castle Financial
Services with respect to investment banking and financial services performed by
New Castle Financial Services in connection with the above private placement.
Such securities were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The
issuance of these shares was exempt from registration pursuant to
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. In addition, the Company paid
New Castle Financial Services a fee of 10% of the gross proceeds, plus a 2%
non-accountable expense allowance plus reimbursed them for $12,500 in
expenses.

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, 2009; 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 March 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.
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 March 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
– 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 within ten (10) days of the closing
of the Merger 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
the same 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.

investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under
the Securities Act, and that such person was acquiring our common stock for
investment purposes for his own investment account and not with a view to the
resale or distribution thereof, and that the investor understood that the

Comparison of Three Months
Ended March 31, 2010 and Three Months Ended March 31, 2009
Net sales
for the three months ended March 31, 2010 increased from the comparable prior
year period by $310,206, or 11%. The increase in sales was the result
of higher sales in the Direct and Wholesale channels. The Direct
category (which includes product sales through our two e-commerce sites and our
single retail store) increased from $1,407,290 in the third quarter of fiscal
2009 to $1,599,952 in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, an increase of
approximately 14%, or $192,662. We attribute this improvement to a
general improvement in the economy resulting in overall increases in consumer
online spending during the quarter, leading to consumers purchasing more of our
products, as our products are typically a discretionary purchase. As
a result of a continued focus on our Wholesale business, sales to wholesale
customers increased approximately 10% 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.
19
Gross
profit, derived from net sales less the cost of product sales, includes the cost
of materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead, and
depreciation. Gross margin as a percentage of sales increased to 34%
for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from 31% in the comparable prior year
period. This is the result of an increase in the margin on Direct sales
(from 41% to 44%) and Wholesale sales (from 25% to 29%) during the quarter
offset in part by a decrease in the Other margin from 8% to 2%. The
improvement in the Direct and Wholesale margin was the result of a price
increase that was implemented earlier this fiscal year and, to a lesser extent,
a change in the mix of products sold.
Total
operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were 32% of net
sales, or $1,008,128, compared to 35% of net sales, or $987,673, for the same
period in the prior year. The 2% increase in operating expenses was
primarily the result of higher General and Administrative expense, offset in
part by slightly lower Advertising and Promotion expense, Other Selling and
Marketing expense, and Depreciation expense. General and
Administrative expense increased by 33%, or $123,035, as a result of higher
legal expense and costs associated with being a public company.
Other
income (expense) during the third quarter decreased from expense of ($60,480) in
fiscal 2009 to expense of ($42,194) in fiscal 2010. Interest expense
and financing costs in the current quarter included $12,256 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
March 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
net income of $24,369, or $0.00 per diluted share, for the three months ended
March 31, 2010 compared with a net loss of $162,771, or ($0.00) per diluted
share, for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Net sales
for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 increased slightly from the comparable
prior year period by $28,568, or less than 1%. Direct sales increased
from $4,055,658 in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 to $4,151,558 in the
first nine months of fiscal 2010, an increase of approximately 2%, or
$95,900. Sales through the Wholesale category during the nine months
ended March 31, 2010 also increased approximately 2% from the prior year
comparable period, increasing from $3,233,570 to $3,295,001. Sales
through Direct and Wholesale channels are expected to increase on a
year-over-year basis during the remainder of fiscal 2010, as a result of the
improvement in general economic conditions. Revenue in the Other
category, which consists principally of shipping and handling fees derived from
our Direct business, decreased 14% during the first nine months of fiscal 2010
from the same time period in 2009, primarily as a result of offering “free” or
reduced shipping as a consumer incentive.
Gross
profit, derived from net sales less the cost of product sales, includes the cost
of materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead, and
depreciation. Gross margin as a percentage of sales increased
slightly to 34% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 from 34% in the
comparable prior year period. This is primarily the result of an increase
in the margin on Direct sales during the nine months (from 43% to 46%) and an
increase in the Wholesale margin to 28% from 27%. This was partially offset by
the decrease in the Other margin from 16% in the nine month period of fiscal
2009 to a slightly negative margin during the nine months of
2010. The negative margin in the Other category of $21,862
occurred as a result of offering “free” or reduced shipping and handling
promotions during fiscal 2010. In the current economic 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 nine months ended March 31, 2010 were 38% of net
sales, or $3,114,706, compared to 40% of net sales, or $3,242,761, for the same
period in the prior year. This 4% decrease in operating expenses was
the result of lower expenses in the categories including Advertising and
Promotion expense, Other Selling and Marketing expense, and Depreciation
expense. Higher costs were incurred in the General and Administrative
category, primarily as a result of higher legal expense and costs associated
with being a public company.
Other
income (expense) during the first nine months increased from expense of
($195,262) in fiscal 2009 to expense of ($341,297) in fiscal
2010. Interest (expense) and financing costs in the nine months ended
March 31, 2010 included $33,561 from the amortization of the debt discount on
the convertible notes. Expenses related to the merger with Liberator, Inc.
during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 totaled $192,167. This item
consists of the discounted face value of the $250,000 convertible note payable
to Hope Capital by the Company, who is the acquirer pursuant to ASC Topic 805
(formerly SFAS 141(revised)). The expense related to the merger
included in other income (expense) are non-cash expenses.
No
expense or benefit from income taxes was recorded in the nine months ended March
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 $646,504, or ($0.01) per diluted share, for the nine months ended
March 31, 2010 compared with a net loss of $693,436, or ($0.02) per diluted
share, for the nine months ended March 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
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 $1,504,525 to $311,108 at March 31, 2010 from
$1,815,633 at June 30, 2009. This decrease in cash resulted from cash used in
operating activities of $1,398,406 and cash used in investing activities of
$155,932, which was offset by cash provided by financing activities of $49,813,
as more fully described below.
Cash used
in operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 represents the
results of operations adjusted for non-cash depreciation $197,318 and the
non-cash deferred rent accrual reversal of $17,224, the non-cash expenses
related to the merger of $192,163, and amortization of the debt discount on the
convertible notes of $33,561. Changes in operating assets and liabilities
include an increase in accounts receivable of $111,395, an increase in inventory
of $292,083 and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of
$92,387. Additional cash was used to reduce accounts payable by
$530,244 during the nine months ended March 31, 2010, and reduce accrued
compensation and accrued expenses and interest by $15,708 and $115,903,
respectively.
Cash
flows used in investing activities reflects capital expenditures during the nine
months ended March 31, 2010. The largest component of capital expenditures
during the period was our project to upgrade the e-commerce platform and ERP
system. Expenditures on the e-commerce platform and ERP system, as of March 31,
2010, total approximately $397,337, and the systems are operational and in-use
as of September 1, 2009.
Cash
flows provided by financing activities consisted primarily of $251,500 from the
net proceeds of the sale of 1,000,000 shares of common stock on January 29,
2010, proceeds from short-term notes payable totaling $140,000, and the net
increase in the revolving line of credit totaling $30,183. Cash flows used in
financing activities are attributable to the repayment of the credit card
advance of $198,935, principal payments on notes payable and capital leases
totaling $109,434, and repayment of short-term notes payable of
$24,802.
As of
March 31, 2010, our net accounts receivable increased by $111,395, or 32%, to
$457,825 from $346,430 at June 30, 2009. The increase in accounts receivable is
primarily the result of increased sales to certain wholesale accounts during
March 2010. Management believes that our accounts receivable are
collectible net of the allowance for doubtful accounts of $15,178 at March 31,
2010.
Our net
inventory increased by $292,083, or 42%, to $992,486 as of March 31, 2010
compared to $700,403 as of June 30, 2009. The increase in
inventory is primarily in finished goods inventory and resulted from introducing
several new products during the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Sales
of new products during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, which include the Axis,
Axis Hitachi, Wing, Hipster, Flip Ramp, Esse Chaise and TENGA, totaled
approximately $427,000.
Accounts payable decreased by $530,244,
or 24%, to $1,717,601 as of March 31, 2010 compared to $2,247,845 as of June 30,
2009. The decrease in accounts payable was the result of our improved working
capital position that resulted from the net proceeds of the private placement of
Liberator, Inc.’s common stock that closed on June 26,
2009.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
At March
31, 2010, our working capital deficiency was $373,911, a decrease of $267,787
compared to the deficiency of $106,124 at June 30, 2009. However, it is an
improvement of $296,655 from a deficiency of $670,566 at the end of the prior
quarter that ended December 31, 2009. Cash and cash equivalents at March 31,
2010 totaled $311,108, a decrease of $1,504,555 from $1,815,633 at June 30,
2009.
On
November 10, 2009, the Company entered into a loan agreement for a revolving
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 February
16, 2010) plus a 2% annual facility fee and a .25% monthly collateral monitoring
fee, as defined in the agreement. The unpaid balance on this
revolving line of credit was $201,616 as of March 31, 2010.
Management
believes anticipated cash flows generated from operations during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2010, along with current cash and cash equivalents as well as
borrowing capacity under the revolving line of credit 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
three months ended June 30, 2010, 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.
22
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 $646,504 for the nine
months ended March 31, 2010 and a net loss of $3,754,982 for the year ended June
30, 2009. As of March 31, 2010, we have an accumulated deficit of $5,955,962 and
a working capital deficit of $373,911.
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 reporting. To that end, we recently implemented a new
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software system. We also plan to reduce
discretionary expense levels to be better in line with current 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
development plans we have identified will require approximately $2,000,000 of
funding. We expect to invest approximately $200,000 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 $2,000,000 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 2010 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 revolving 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 enterprise resource planning system (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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 Chief Executive Officer
(Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financing
and Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer 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.
23
Changes in Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most
recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
There
have been no material developments during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 in
any material pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or of
which any of our property is the subject.
On
January 29, 2010, we issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to 12 individuals
and entities in the aggregate amount of $300,000 in a private placement
financing. We relied on an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) and Regulation D thereof for the
issuance of these securities. We made this determination based on the
representations of the investor, which included, in pertinent part, that such
person was an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, and that such person was
acquiring our common stock for investment purposes for its own respective
account and not as a nominee or agent and not with a view to the resale or
distribution thereof, and that the investor understood that the securities may
not be sold or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities
Act or an applicable exemption therefrom.
On
January 29, 2010, we issued 100,000 shares of common stock to New Castle
Financial Services with respect to investment banking and financial services
performed by New Castle Financial Services in connection with the above private
placement. We relied on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act
pursuant to Section 4(2) for the issuance of these securities since the issuance
by us did not involve a public offering. In addition, New Castle had the
necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2) since they agreed to and
received share certificates bearing a legend stating that such shares are
restricted as they are not registered pursuant to the Securities
Act.
On April
30, 2010, we issued 166,666 shares of our common stock to an employee in
exchange for cash consideration of $50,000. We relied on an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2) and Regulation D
thereof. We made this determination based on the representations of the
investor, which included, in pertinent part, that such person was an "accredited
investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under
the Securities Act, and that such person was acquiring our common stock for
investment purposes for his own investment account and not with a view to the
resale or distribution thereof, and that the investor understood that the
securities may not be sold or otherwise disposed of without registration under
the Securities Act or an applicable exemption therefrom.
