LIBERATOR, INC.
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Overview – Liberator, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Florida on February 25, 1999, under the name of WES Consulting, Inc. to provide consulting and commercial property management services. On October 19, 2009, the Company entered into a Merger and Recapitalization Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Liberator, Inc. (fka Remark Enterprises Inc.), a Nevada corporation (“Old Liberator”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Old Liberator merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as the sole remaining entity (the “Merger”). References to the “Company” in these notes include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Web Merchants, Inc., OneUp Innovations, Inc., and Foam Labs, Inc.
As a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of the common stock of Old Liberator (the “Old 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 “Liberator Common Stock”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each issued and outstanding share of preferred stock of Old 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 “Liberator 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 Liberator Preferred Stock, and at such time the Liberator Preferred Stock will be exchanged pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. As of the execution date of the Merger Agreement, Old 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 Liberator Common Stock owned by Old 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 Old 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.
On January 27, 2011the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Web Merchants, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“WMI”) and Fyodor Petrenko and Dmitrii Spetetchii, the holders of 100% of WMI’s capital stock (the “WMI Shareholders”), to acquire 100% of WMI’s issued and outstanding equity ownership in exchange for 28,394,400 shares of our common stock to the WMI Shareholders. One of the WMI Shareholders also received $100,000 in cash, which represented $79,000 for the repayment of a loan to WMI and $21,000 in consideration for signing a non-compete agreement with the Company. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, WMI will continue to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The foregoing summary of the acquisition of WMI does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 2, 2011. In connection with the acquisition of WMI, the Board of Directors appointed Fyodor Petrenko, the President of WMI, as Executive Vice President of the Company and to the Board of Directors, filling a vacancy.
Effective February 28, 2011, the Company changed its name to “Liberator, Inc.” by filing an Articles of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Florida Department of State. A copy of the Articles of Amendment were included in the Company’s form 8-K filed on March 2, 2011.
The Company is a designer and manufacturer of various specialty furnishings for the sexual wellness market. Since the acquisition of WMI, the Company has also become an online retailer offering a full range of products 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 internet and print advertisements. We have a diversified customer base with no one customer accounting for 10% or more of consolidated net sales in the most recently completed quarter 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 had net income of $102,074 and $24,369 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and a net loss of $501,959 and $646,504 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of March 31, 2011, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $6,677,483 and a working capital deficit of $240,391.
6
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 exploiting the revenue and cost synergies that are expected to result from the WMI acquisition. In addition, the Company has an ongoing initiative 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 $1,800,000 of funding. We expect to invest approximately $1,800,000 on sales and marketing programs, primarily sexual wellness advertising in magazines, on cable television and the internet. We will also be exploring the opportunity to acquire other compatible businesses.
We plan to finance the required $1,800,000 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.
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.
As previously reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 2, 2011, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of Web Merchants, Inc. (“WMI”). We pursued the acquisition of WMI to increase our presence in the sexual wellness market and to begin to develop a business portfolio with significant growth opportunities. Although there can be no assurance in this regard, we believe that with the WMI acquisition the Company expects to incur significant revenue and cost synergies which should allow the Company to be profitable on an annual basis beginning in fiscal 2012. As part of the acquisition, WMI relocated their New Jersey facility to the 140,000 square foot Liberator, Inc. headquarters and fulfillment center in Atlanta, GA. Full integration of the companies was substantially completed by April of 2011.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of our wholly owned operating subsidiaries, OneUp Innovations, Inc., Web Merchants, 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 and amended on November 12, 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.
7
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.

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.
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, 2011, accounts receivable totaled $859,463 net of $9,559 in the allowance for doubtful accounts. At June 30, 2010, accounts receivable totaled $562,872 net of $14,143 in the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Market is defined as sales price less cost to dispose and a normal profit margin. Inventory costs include materials, labor, depreciation, and overhead.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2011, substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents were managed by two financial institutions. As of March 31, 2011, 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.
8
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 — Observable prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
||
•
|
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
|
•
|
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.
|
At March 31, 2011, 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 $9,055 at March 31, 2011 and $60,427 at June 30, 2010. Advertising expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $393,378 and $142,344, respectively.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses for new products are expensed as they are incurred. Expenses for new product development totaled $34,493 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and $36,903 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Research and development costs are included in general and administrative expense.
Shipping and Handling
We account for shipping and handling costs in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. Amounts billed to customers in sale transactions related to shipping and handling costs are recorded as revenue. Shipping and handling costs incurred by us are included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations.
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 includes amounts charged to customers of $456,307 and $287,357, 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 March 31, 2011.
9
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, 2011 was $306,357. The rent expense under this lease for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $80,931. The Company also leases certain equipment under operating leases, as more fully described in Note 13 - Commitments and Contingencies.
Stock Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. We measure the cost of each stock option at its fair value on the grant date. Each award vests over the subsequent period during which the recipient is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the vesting period). The cost of each award is recognized as expense in the financial statements over the respective vesting period. The expense recognized reflects an estimated forfeiture rate for unvested awards of 25%. All of the Company’s stock options are service-based awards, and because the Company’s stock options are “plain vanilla,” as defined by the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, they are reflected only in Stockholders’ Equity and Compensation Expense accounts.
Segment Information
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, 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 March 31, 2011, there was no significant liability for income tax associated with unrecognized tax benefits.
In evaluating a tax position for recognition, management evaluates whether it is more-likely-than-not that a position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, based on technical merits of the position. If the tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the tax position is measured and recognized in the Company's financial statements as the largest amount of tax benefit that, in management's judgment, is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement.
The Company recognizes accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as well as any related penalties in interest expense in its consolidated statements of operations. As of the date of adoption and during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, there was no accrual for the payment of interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” an amendment to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The standard requires disclosure for transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2, as well as the disclosure of Level 3 activity on a gross, rather than net, basis. The guidance also requires enhancements to certain existing disclosures. The amendments are effective as of the beginning of our fiscal year 2011, or July 1, 2010, except for the new requirements regarding Level 3 activity, which is deferred until the beginning of fiscal year 2012. The guidance is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2010, the FASB issued guidance to clarify disclosure requirements for pro-forma information on revenues and earnings for business combinations. This guidance clarifies that where comparative financial statements are presented, revenue and earnings of the combined entity should be disclosed as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current reporting period had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. This guidance also expands disclosure requirements to include a description of the nature and amount of material, non-recurring pro-forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro-forma revenue and earnings. The Company adopted the provisions of this guidance effective January 1, 2011 and there was no impact on the consolidated condensed financial statements resulting from the adoption of this guidance.
In December 2010, the FASB issued amended goodwill impairment testing guidance for reporting units with an overall nil or negative carrying amount, but a positive goodwill balance. This amended guidance requires that for these reporting units, the second stage of goodwill impairment testing should be performed when it is considered more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists. This assessment should be made by considering whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating impairment of the goodwill. The standard is effective for our fiscal year beginning July 1, 2011 and is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of outstanding options and warrants, using the treasury stock method and the average market price of our common stock during the applicable period. All outstanding stock options and warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were antidilutive in the periods presented, but could be dilutive in the future.

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.
NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION
On January 27, 2011, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Web Merchants, Inc., a privately-held company organized under the laws of Delaware (“WMI”) and Fyodor Petrenko and Dmitrii Spetetchii, the holders of 100% of WMI’s capital stock (the “WMI Shareholders”), to acquire 100% of WMI’s issued and outstanding equity ownership in exchange for 28,394,400 shares of our common stock to the WMI Shareholders. One of the WMI Shareholders also received $100,000 in cash, which represented $79,000 for the repayment of a loan to WMI and $21,000 in consideration for signing a non-compete agreement with the Company. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, WMI will continue to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The total purchase price of $2,860,440 consisted of 28,394,400 shares of the Company’s common stock at a fair value of $2,839,440 and $21,000 in cash.
The purchase price allocation is not finalized and the valuations of all tangible and intangible assets, including customer relationships, trade name and intellectual property, have not been completed. Management’s estimates and assumptions are subject to change upon the finalization of the valuation and may be adjusted in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations.
The following table presents the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on January 27, 2011, the date of acquisition:

Acquisition Related Costs
We classify costs incurred in connection with acquisitions as acquisition related costs. These costs consist primarily of transaction costs and integration costs. Transaction costs are incurred during the initial evaluation of a potential targeted acquisition and primarily relate to costs to analyze, negotiate and consummate the transaction as well as financial and legal due diligence activities. Integration costs relate to activities needed to combine the operations of an acquired enterprise into our operations.
NOTE 4 – GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The Company acquired goodwill and certain identifiable intangible assets as part of the acquisition in January 2011.

Stock-based compensation
Stock-based employee compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company has no outstanding awards with market or performance conditions.
Stock-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are based on awards ultimately expected to vest, and is reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Pre-vesting forfeitures are estimated to be approximately 25%, based on historical experience.
The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense by line item in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, all relating to employee stock plans:

Management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to forecasted undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount exceeds its estimated future cash flows, then an impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value. Management has determined no asset impairment occurred during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011.

NOTE 10 – LINE OF CREDIT
On May 17, 2010, OneUp Innovations, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a credit facility to provide it with an asset based line of credit of up to $600,000 against 80% of eligible accounts receivable (as defined in the agreement.) The term of the agreement is one year, renewable for additional one-year terms unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least 60 days prior to the end of the current financing period. The credit facility is secured by our accounts receivable and other rights to payment, general intangibles, inventory and equipment, and are subject to eligibility requirements for current accounts receivable and inventory balances. Advances under the agreement bear interest at a rate of 2% over the prime rate (5.25% as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2010) for the accounts receivable portion of the advances and the inventory portion of the borrowings. In addition there are collateral management fees of 0.4% for each 10-day period that an advance on an accounts receivable invoice remains outstanding and a 1.9% collateral management fee on the average monthly loan outstanding on the inventory portion of any advance. On March 31, 2011, the balance owed under this line of credit was $498,630 and on June 30, 2010, the balance owed was $320,184. On March 31, 2011, we were in compliance with all of the financial and other covenants required under this credit facility.
On November 10, 2009, the Company entered into a loan agreement for a line of credit with a commercial finance company that provides credit to 80% of domestic accounts receivable aged less than 90 days up to $250,000. Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at prime rate plus 6% (9.25% as of November 10, 2009) plus a 2% annual facility fee and a .25% monthly collateral monitoring fee. The balance owed under this line of credit was repaid on May 17, 2010.
Management believes cash flows generated from operations, along with current cash and borrowing capacity under the existing line of credit should be sufficient to finance current working capital requirements during the next 12 months. If new business opportunities do arise, additional outside funding may be required.
NOTE 11 – CREDIT CARD ADVANCE
On November 4, 2010, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, OneUp Innovations, Inc. (“OneUp”), and OneUp’s wholly owned subsidiary, Foam Labs, Inc. (“Foam Labs”) entered into a receivable advance agreement with CC Funding, LLC (“Credit Cash”), a division of Credit Cash NJ, LLC whereby Credit Cash agreed to loan OneUp and Foam Labs a total of $400,000. The loan is secured by OneUp’s and Foam Lab’s existing and future credit card collections. Terms of the loan call for a repayment of $448,000, which includes a one-time finance charge of $48,000, by May 4, 2011. This will be accomplished by Credit Cash withholding a fixed amount each business day of $3,446 from OneUp’s credit card receipts until full repayment is made. The loan is guaranteed by the Company and is personally guaranteed by the Company’s CEO and controlling shareholder, Louis S. Friedman, and the Company’s CFO, Ronald P. Scott. On March 31, 2011 the balance owed under this agreement was $88,105.
NOTE 12 – 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 $78,713 at March 31, 2011 and $99,664 at June 30, 2010.
NOTE 13 – 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, 2011 was $306,367 and $331,570 at June 30, 2010. The rent expense under this lease for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $80,931.
17
The lease for the facility requires the Company to provide a standby letter of credit payable to the lessor in the amount of $225,000 until December 31, 2010. On December 31, 2010, the standby letter of credit for $225,000 was cancelled and a letter of credit in the amount of $25,000 in lieu of a security deposit was provided to the lessor. This letter of credit is secured by an assignment by Leslie Vogelman, the Company’s Treasurer, to Fidelity Bank of a Certificate of Deposit in the amount of $25,000.
The Company leases certain material handling equipment under an operating lease. The monthly lease amount is $4,082 per month and expires September 2012.
The Company also leases certain 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.
Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases at March 31, 2011 are as follows:

Common Stock Issuance
On September 2, 2009, Old 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 Old Liberator and Belmont Partners, LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (“Belmont”), and the Company. At closing, Old 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.
18
On October 14, 2010, Belmont and the Company executed a Settlement Agreement and General Release dated October 13, 2010 regarding the remaining 750,000 shares of our common stock that were owed to Belmont on September 2, 2010. Without admitting that it violated the short swing profit rules enacted under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and wishing to reach an amicable solution in order to avoid the costs and uncertainties of protracted and time consuming litigation, the parties agreed that the obligation to issue 750,000 shares of our common stock to Belmont will be considered as satisfied in full by Belmont with the issuance of three hundred fifty thousand (350,000) restricted shares of our common stock. Such shares were issued to Belmont on November 5, 2010. The Company recorded an expense of $52,500 related to this issuance and it was included in other income (expense) on the Statement of Operations.
NOTE 14 – TAXES
There is no income tax provision (benefit) for federal or state income taxes as the Company has incurred operating losses since inception. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of net operating loss and tax credit carryovers and temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
Utilization of the net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and similar state provisions. The Company may have experienced a change of control that could result in a substantial reduction to the previously reported net operating loss carryforwards at June 30, 2010; however, the Company has not performed a change of control study and, therefore, has not determined if such change has taken place and if such a change has occurred the related reduction to the net operating loss carryforwards. As of March 31, 2011, 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, 2011, 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 income tax examination by tax authorities for tax years before 2007.
NOTE 15 – EQUITY
Common Stock– The Company’s authorized common stock was 175,000,000 shares at March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010.

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 Old Liberator during the three months ended September 30, 2009.
NOTE 16 – RELATED PARTIES

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased from the comparable prior year period by $2,427,209, or 77%. The increase in net sales was primarily due to the acquisition of Web Merchants, Inc. (“WMI”) that occurred on January 27, 2011. Net sales through WMI since the date of the acquisition totaled $2,031,935 and are reported entirely as Direct sales. Total sales through the Direct category (which includes product sales through our three e-commerce sites and our single retail store) increased by 119%, or $1,907,722 during the three months ended March 31, 2011, from the comparable year earlier period. As a result of a continued focus on our Wholesale business, sales to wholesale customers during the third quarter increased approximately 40% from the prior year. The Wholesale category includes Liberator branded products sold to distributors and retailers, non-Liberator products sold to retailers, and private label items sold to other resellers. The Wholesale category also includes contract manufacturing services, which consists of specialty items that are manufactured in small quantities for certain customers, and which, to date, has not been a material part of our business.
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 39% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from 34% in the comparable prior year period and primarily resulted from the additional sales and gross profit from the WMI acquisition. The increase in gross margin was partially offset by the decrease in margin on Wholesale sales (from 29% to 21%) during the quarter. The Wholesale margin decline resulted from raw material cost increases on certain key components including foam, fabric and packaging.
Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were 36% of net sales, or $1,984,346, compared to 32% of net sales, or $1,008,128, for the same period in the prior year. The increase in operating expenses was primarily the result of the acquisition of WMI on January 27, 2011 and the inclusion of their operating expenses from the date of acquisition through March 31, 2011. Operating expenses for WMI during this period totaled $815,245. Advertising and promotion expense increased from $142,344 to $393,378 with $302,610 attributable to WMI. Other selling and marketing expense increased by $331,653, with $249,565 of the increase attributable to WMI. General and administrative expense increased by $307,225, with $227,531 being WMI general and administrative expense. Total legal expense during the three months ended March 31, 2011, excluding acquisition related legal expense, was $62,300.
Other income (expense) during the third quarter increased from expense of ($42,194) in fiscal 2010 to expense of ($103,200) in fiscal 2011. Interest expense and financing costs in the current and prior year quarter included $12,257 from the amortization of the debt discount on the convertible notes. Excluding the amortization of the debt discount, interest expense increased from $30,639 in the prior year third quarter to $91,260 in the current year period, due to higher borrowing balances and higher interest rates on those higher debt balances.
No expense or benefit from income taxes was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. 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 profit of $102,074, or $0.00 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared with a net profit of $24,369, or $0.00 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 increased from the comparable prior year period by $3,679,281, or 45%. The sales increase was primarily the result of higher sales through the Direct channel, which resulted from the merger with WMI during the third quarter, and, to a lesser extent, higher sales through the Wholesale channel. Sales through the Direct category (which includes product sales through our three e-commerce sites and our single retail store) increased from $4,151,558 in the first nine months of fiscal 2010 to $6,059,268 in the first nine months of fiscal 2011, an increase of approximately 46%, or $1,907,710. As a result of a continued focus on our Wholesale business, sales to wholesale customers during the first nine months of fiscal 2011 increased approximately 47% from the same period in the prior year. The Wholesale category includes Liberator branded products sold to distributors and retailers, non-Liberator products sold to retailers, and private label items sold to other resellers. The Wholesale category also includes contract manufacturing services, which consists of specialty items that are manufactured in small quantities for certain customers, and which, to date, has not been a material part of our business.
Gross profit, derived from net sales less the cost of goods sold, includes the cost of materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead, freight costs and depreciation. Total gross margin as a percentage of sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was unchanged from the prior year period at 34%. This is the result of an increase in the margin on Direct sales (from 46% to 48%) and a decrease in margin on Wholesale sales (from 28% to 23%) during the nine month period. The increase in the Direct channel margin was due to the inclusion of the WMI sales and gross profit since the date of the acquisition. The decrease in the Wholesale margin was the result of a change in product mix during the first nine months of fiscal 2011 from the same period in the prior fiscal year. This change in Wholesale product mix occurred in the second and third quarter resulting in higher sales of non-Liberator products during that period.
Total operating expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 were 35% of net sales, or $4,198,173, compared to 38% of net sales, or $3,114,706, for the same period in the prior year. The increase in operating expenses was primarily the result of the acquisition of WMI on January 27, 2011 and the inclusion of their operating expenses from the date of acquisition through March 31, 2011. Operating expenses for WMI during this period totaled $815,245. Advertising and promotion expense increased by $89,660, with $302,610 attributable to WMI. Other selling and marketing expense increased by $459,157, with $249,565 of the increase attributable to WMI and the remaining increase being attributable to higher personnel related costs including salaries, commission expense and travel expenses. General and administrative expense increased by $473,520, with $227,531 being WMI general and administrative expense. Total legal expense during the nine months ended March 31, 2011, excluding acquisition related legal expense, was $214,703.
Other income (expense) during the first nine months of fiscal 2011 increased slightly from expense of ($341,297) in fiscal 2010 to expense of ($348,558) in fiscal 2011. Interest expense and financing costs in the current year included $24,514 from the amortization of the debt discount on the convertible notes and $48,000 in interest expense related to the one-time finance charge on the credit card advance. Expenses related to merger ($52,500) in the current year consist of the fair market value of the 350,000 shares issued to Belmont Partners, LLC in connection with a Settlement Agreement and General Release we entered into on October 13, 2010. Expenses related to merger in the prior year consist of the $192,167 for the discounted face value of the $250,000 convertible note payable to Hope Capital, Inc., a shareholder of the Company.

No expense or benefit from income taxes was recorded in the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. 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 $501,959, or ($0.01) per diluted share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 compared with a net loss of $646,504, or ($0.01) per diluted share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2010.
Variability of Results
We have experienced significant quarterly fluctuations in operating results and anticipate that these fluctuations may continue in future periods. As described in previous paragraphs, operating results have fluctuated as a result of changes in sales levels to consumers and wholesalers, competition, costs associated with new product introductions, and increases in raw material costs. In addition, future operating results may fluctuate as a result of factors beyond our control such as foreign exchange fluctuation, changes in government regulations, and economic changes in the regions in which we operate and sell. A portion of our operating expenses are relatively fixed and the timing of increases in expense levels is based in large part on forecasts of future sales. Therefore, if net sales are below expectations in any given period, the adverse impact on results of operations may be magnified by our inability to meaningfully adjust spending in certain areas, or the inability to adjust spending quickly enough, as in personnel and administrative costs, to compensate for a sales shortfall. We may also choose to reduce prices or increase spending in response to market conditions, and these decisions may have a material adverse effect on financial condition and results of operations.

As of March 31, 2011, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $615,489, compared to $311,108 in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2010.
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. Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash flow that we generate from our operations, availability of borrowings under our line of credit and cash raised through equity and debt financings.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities primarily consists of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and the effect of changes in working capital. Net cash used in operating activities was $287,066 and $1,398,406 in the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2011 of $51,455 was attributable to capital expenditures of $80,455 for the purchase of production equipment, leasehold improvements and computer equipment, less the net cash investment of $29,000 in Web Merchants, Inc.
Cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2010 of $155,932 was primarily attributable to the purchase of production equipment, computer equipment and capitalized software development costs.
25
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2011 of $463,774 was primarily attributable to borrowings from unsecured notes payable, proceeds from the credit card advance, and net borrowings under our line of credit, partially offset by the repayment of the notes and lease payable and the credit card advance.
Cash provided financing activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2010 of $49,813 was primarily attributable to the sale of common stock and borrowings under the line of credit, partially offset by the repayment of the line of credit and other obligations.
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 $501,959 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and a net loss of $1,033,952 for the year ended June 30, 2010. As of March 31, 2011, we have an accumulated deficit of $6,677,483 and a working capital deficit of $240,391.
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 exploiting the revenue and cost synergies that are expected to result from the WMI acquisition. In addition, the Company has an ongoing initiative 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 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 $1,800,000 of funding. We expect to invest approximately $1,800,000 on sales and marketing programs, primarily sexual wellness advertising in magazines, on the internet and on cable television. We will also be exploring the opportunity to acquire other compatible businesses.
We plan to finance the required $1,800,000 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 $25,000 and to be funded by capital leases and, to a lesser extent, anticipated operating cash flows and borrowings under the line of credit. This includes capital expenditures in support of our normal operations and the integration of Web Merchants, Inc., a Delaware corporation that we acquired on January 27, 2011 and expenditures that we may incur in conjunction with initiatives to further upgrade our e-commerce platform and ERP system.
If our business plans and cost estimates are inaccurate and our operations require additional cash or if we deviate from our current plans, we could be required to seek additional debt financing for particular projects or for ongoing operational needs. This indebtedness could harm our business if we are unable to obtain additional financing on reasonable terms. In addition, any indebtedness we incur in the future could subject us to restrictive covenants limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to changes in, our business. If we do not comply with such covenants, our lenders could accelerate repayment of our debt or restrict our access to further borrowings, which in turn could restrict our operating flexibility and endanger our ability to continue operations.
