LUVU BRANDS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Luvu Brands, Inc. (the “Company” or “Luvu Brands”, formerly known as Liberator, Inc.) was incorporated in the State of Florida on February 25, 1999. References to the “Company” in these notes include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, OneUp Innovations, Inc. (“OneUp”), and Foam Labs, Inc. (“Foam Labs”).
The Company is primarily a manufacturer, designer and online retailer of various specialty brands for the sexual wellness, fashion seating and top-of-bed comfort products markets. The Company has also become an online retailer of products for the sexual wellness market. All of the Company’s operations are located in the same facility in Atlanta, Georgia, including product development, sales, manufacturing and administration. Sales are generated through internet and print advertisements. We have a diversified customer base with only one customer accounting for 10% or more of consolidated net sales in the current and prior fiscal year and no particular concentration of credit risk in one economic sector. Foreign operations and foreign net sales are not material. Our business is seasonal and as a result we experience higher sales in the second and third fiscal quarters.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Luvu Brands, Inc. and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company" “we” or "Luvu Brands") included herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. The year-end condensed balance sheet data were derived from audited consolidated financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.
Going Concern - The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. As of September 30, 2016, the Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $9,386,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $2,672,000. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
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 an ongoing initiative to increase sales, gross profits and our gross profit margin. To that end, we continued to make improvements to our e-commerce sites during 2016. At the end of fiscal 2015 we ordered new equipment to increase our fabric cutting capacity; this equipment was delivered and installed during the first quarter of fiscal 2016. At the end of fiscal 2016, we evaluated various options for increasing the throughput of our compressed foam products and during the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we purchased new equipment for installation during the second quarter of fiscal 2017. These actions should yield higher sales at a lower cost of goods sold. We also plan to continue to manage discretionary expense levels to be better aligned with current and expected revenue levels. We estimate that the operational and strategic growth plans we have identified will require approximately $200,000 of funding over the next twelve months, of which we estimate will be provided by debt financing and, to a lesser extent, cash flow from operations as well as cash on hand.
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 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, 2016 filed on September 27, 2016.
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 accounting principles generally accepted 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: income taxes; tax valuation reserves; allowances for doubtful accounts; inventory valuation and reserves, share-based compensation; and useful lives for depreciation and amortization. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenues as goods are shipped to customers and title is transferred. The criteria for recognition of revenue are when persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists and both title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Sales returns and allowances are estimated and recorded as a reduction to sales in the period in which sales are recorded.
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.
The following is a summary of Accounts Receivable as of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016.
September 30, 2016 | June 30, 2016 | |||||||
(in thousands) | ||||||||
Accounts receivable | $ | 902 | $ | 842 | ||||
Allowance for doubtful accounts | (33 | ) | (24 | ) | ||||
Allowance for discounts and returns | (16 | ) | (24 | ) | ||||
Total accounts receivable, net | $ | 853 | $ | 794 |
Inventories and Inventory Reserves
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. The company establishes reserves for excess and obsolete inventory, based on prevailing circumstances and judgment for consideration of current events, such as economic conditions, that may affect inventory. The reserve required to record inventory at lower of cost or market may be adjusted in response to changing conditions.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash accounts with banks located in Georgia. The total cash balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per bank. The Company had bank balances on deposit at September 30, 2016 that exceeded the balance insured by the FDIC by $77,523. Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers primarily located in North America and Europe.
During the three month ended September 30, 2016, we purchased 21% and 15% of total inventory purchases from two vendors.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, we purchased 21% and 15% of total inventory purchases from two vendors.
As of September 30, 2016 one of the Company’s customers (Amazon) represents 29% of the total accounts receivables compared to 32% as of June 2016.
Fair Value of Financial and Derivative Instruments
At September 30, 2016, our financial instruments included cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other debt.
The fair values of these financial instruments approximated their carrying values based on either their short maturity or current terms for similar instruments.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 (UNAUDITED)
The Company measures the fair value of its assets and liabilities under the guidance of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements, but its provisions apply to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurement.
ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants based on the highest and best use of the asset or liability. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. ASC 820 requires the Company to use valuation techniques to measure fair value that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized as follows:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or market-corroborated inputs; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions about how market participants would price the assets or liabilities.
The valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
A. Market approach - Uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
B. Income approach - Uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations about those future amounts, including present value techniques, option-pricing models and excess earnings method.
C. Cost approach - Based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).
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 $20,001 at September 30, 2016 and $19,946 at June 30, 2016. Advertising expense for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was $82,009 and $70,003, respectively.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses for new products are expensed as they are incurred. Expenses for new product development totaled $51,929 and $38,031for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Research and development costs are included in general and administrative expense.
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 of 2-10 years.
Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When properties are disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized currently.

Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets
Long-lived assets to be held are reviewed for events or changes in circumstances which indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. They are tested for recoverability using undiscounted cash flows to determine whether or not impairment to such value has occurred as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. The Company has determined that there was no impairment at September 30, 2016.
Operating Leases
On July 23, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with its landlord to extend the facilities lease by five years. The previous ten year lease was to expire on December 31, 2015. The agreement amends the lease to expire on December 31, 2020. The lease amendment was effective August 1, 2014 and included a four-month rental abatement in the amount of $117,660. In exchange for the rental abatement, the Company agreed to make improvements to the facility totaling $123,505 within six months of August 1, 2014. As of September 30, 2016, the Company has completed $65,224 of the leasehold improvements. In addition, the monthly rent on the facility decreased from the current rent of $33,139 to $29,415 per month, beginning on December 1, 2014. Beginning January 1, 2015, the monthly rent is on an escalating schedule with the final year of the lease at $35,123 per month. The rent expense under this lease for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was $88,120 and $88,120, respectively.
The Company also leases certain equipment under operating leases, as more fully described in Note 15 - Commitments and Contingencies.
Segment Information
We have identified three reportable sales channels: Direct, Wholesale and Other. Direct includes product sales through our five e-commerce sites and our single retail store. Wholesale includes Liberator branded products sold to distributors and retailers, non-Liberator products (purchased products, Jaxx and Avana 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. Other consists principally of shipping and handling fees and costs derived from our Direct business and fulfillment service fees. For the three months ending September 30, 2016, sales to and through Amazon accounted for 29% of our net sales.
The following is a summary of sales results for the Direct, Wholesale, and Other channels.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments," which aims to eliminate diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows, and other Topics. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods therein, beginning after December 15, 2017 (fiscal year 2019 for the Company). We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
All other newly issued accounting pronouncements, but not yet effective, have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.
Net Loss Per Share
In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 260 (“FASB ASC 260”), “Earnings Per Share”, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares outstanding as of September 30, 2016 and 2015, which consist of options, warrants, and convertible notes, have been excluded from the diluted net loss per common share calculations because they are anti-dilutive.
The following potentially issuable common shares were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because they would have an anti-dilutive:
September 30, | ||||||||
2016 | 2015 | |||||||
Common stock options – 2009 Plan | 3,862,000 | 4,455,500 | ||||||
Common stock options – 2015 Plan | 2,750,000 | — | ||||||
Convertible preferred stock | 4,300,000 | 4,300,000 | ||||||
Total | 10,912,000 | 8,755,500 |
Income Taxes
We utilize the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. We recognize deferred tax liabilities or assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. We regularly assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. We consider projected future taxable income and ongoing tax planning strategies in assessing the amount of the valuation allowance necessary to offset our deferred tax assets that will not be recoverable. We have recorded and continue to carry a full valuation allowance against our gross deferred tax assets that will not reverse against deferred tax liabilities within the scheduled reversal period. If we determine in the future that it is more likely than not that we will realize all or a portion of our deferred tax assets, we will adjust our valuation allowance in the period we make the determination. We expect to provide a full valuation allowance on our future tax benefits until we can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates our ability to realize these assets.
Stock Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. We measure the cost of each stock option and restricted stock award 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.

Stock Issued for Services to other than Employees
Common stock, stock options and common stock warrants issued to other than employees or directors are recorded on the basis of their fair value, as required by FASB ASC 505, which is measured as of the date required by FASB ASC 505, “Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees”. In accordance with FASB ASC 505, the stock options or common stock warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the market price of the underlying common stock on the “valuation date”, which for options and warrants related to contracts that have substantial disincentives to non-performance is the date of the contract, and for all other contracts is the vesting date. Expense related to the options and warrants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the vesting period. Where expense must be recognized prior to a valuation date, the expense is computed under the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the market price of the underlying common stock at the end of the period, and any subsequent changes in the market price of the underlying common stock up through the valuation date is reflected in the expense recorded in the subsequent period in which that change occurs.
NOTE 3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Options
At September 30, 2016, the Company had the 2009 and 2015 Stock Option Plans (the “Plans”), which are shareholder-approved and under which 3,862,000 shares are reserved for issuance under the 2009 Plan until that Plan terminates on October 20, 2019 and 5,000,000 shares are reserved for issuance under the 2015 Plan until that Plan terminates on August 31, 2025.
Under the Plans, eligible employees and certain independent consultants may be granted options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares issuable under the Plan will either be shares of the Company’s authorized but previously unissued common stock or shares reacquired by the Company, including shares purchased on the open market. As of September 30, 2016, the number of shares available for issuance under the 2015 Plan was 2,250,000. There are no shares available for issuance under the 2009 Plan, other than the 3,862,000 stock options that have already been granted.

Stock-based compensation
We account for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. We measure the cost of each stock option and 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.
Stock option-based compensation expense recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 are based on awards ultimately expected to vest, and is reduced for estimated forfeitures.

NOTE 4. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, regarding impairment of our other long-lived assets (property, plant and equipment). Our policy is to assess our long-lived assets for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying value of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and is measured as the excess of its carrying value over its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is considered not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of long-lived asset.
Assets to be disposed of and related liabilities would be separately presented in the consolidated balance sheet. Assets to be disposed of would be reported at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less costs to sell and would not be depreciated. There was no impairment as of September 30, 2016 or June 30, 2016.
NOTE 5. INVENTORIES, NET
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (which approximates first-in, first-out) or market. Market is defined as sales price less cost to dispose and a normal profit margin. Inventories consisted of the following:

Equipment and leasehold improvements, net | $ | 836 | $ | 870 |
Management reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to forecasted undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount exceeds its estimated future cash flows, then an impairment charge is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value. Management has determined no asset impairment occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2016

NOTE 12. CREDIT CARD ADVANCES
On April 24, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with Power Up Lending Group, Ltd. (“Power Up”) whereby Power Up agreed to loan OneUp and Foam Labs a total of $400,000. The loan was secured by OneUp’s and Foam Lab’s existing and future credit card collections.

Terms for this additional amount call for a repayment of $119,000, which includes a one-time finance charge of $19,000, approximately ten months after the funding date. This will be accomplished by Power Up withholding a fixed amount each business day of $566.67 from OneUp’s credit card receipts until full repayment is made. This loan was repaid in full on July 29, 2016 and was guaranteed by the Company and personally guaranteed by the Company’s CEO and controlling shareholder, Louis S. Friedman (see Note 17).
On February 22, 2016 the Company received another loan that calls for a repayment of $448,000, which includes a one-time finance charge of $48,000, approximately ten months after the funding date.

The balance of the February 22, 2016 credit card loan was deducted from this loan and the Company received net proceeds of approximately $270,000. This loan is guaranteed by the Company and is personally guaranteed by the Company’s CEO and controlling shareholder, Louis S. Friedman (see Note 17).
As of September 30, 2016, the principle amount of the credit card advances totaled $511,190, net of a discount of $65,246.
NOTE 13. LINE OF CREDIT
On May 24, 2011, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, OneUp and OneUp’s wholly owned subsidiary, Foam Labs entered into a credit facility with a finance company, Advance Financial Corporation, to provide it with an asset based line of credit of up to $750,000 against 85% of eligible accounts receivable (as defined in the agreement) for the purpose of improving working capital. The term of the agreement was one year, renewable for additional one-year terms unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal at least 90 days prior to the end of the current financing period. The credit facility was 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. Advances under the agreement were charged interest at a rate of 2.5% over the lenders Index Rate. In addition there was a Monthly Service Fee (as defined in the agreement) of up to 1.25% per month.
On September 4, 2013, the credit agreement with Advance Financial Corporation was amended and restated to increase the asset based line of credit to $1,000,000 to include an Inventory Advance (as defined in the amended and restated receivable financing agreement) of up to the lesser of $300,000 or 75% of the eligible accounts receivable loan. In addition, the amended and restated agreement changed the interest calculation to prime rate plus 3% (as of September 30, 2016, the interest rate was 6.5%) and the Monthly Service Fee was changed to .5% per month.
The Company’s CEO, Louis Friedman, has personally guaranteed the repayment of the facility. In addition, Luvu Brands has provided its corporate guarantee of the credit facility (see Note 12). On September 30, 2016, the balance owed under this line of credit was $721,474. On September 30, 2016, we were current and in compliance with all terms and conditions of this line of credit.
Management believes cash flows generated from operations, along with current cash and investments as well as borrowing capacity under the line of credit should be sufficient to finance capital requirements required by operations. If new business opportunities do arise, additional outside funding may be required.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2015
Net sales. The Company achieved record first quarter sales for the three months ended September 30, 2016 of $4,105,197, a 10% increase from the comparable prior year period. The net sales increase in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was driven primarily by a $333,000 (or 60%) increase in the combined sales of Jaxx and Avana products. Sales of Liberator branded products also increased 7% during the quarter from the comparable prior year period. These increases were partially offset by an 11% decrease in sales of Resale products, including Tenga products. Sales through the Direct channel in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 increased 13% from the same period in the prior year. The Direct sales channel consists of direct to consumer sales through our five e-Commerce sites and, to a lesser extent, our single retail store. Sales through the Wholesale channel increased 10% during the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily due to higher sales of Jaxx and Avana products. The Wholesale channel includes sales of Liberator branded products to retailers, e-merchants (including Amazon and Brookstone and others), non-Liberator products sold to retailers and e-merchants, and private label items sold to other resellers. The Other product revenue increased 78% to $194,328 in the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily as a result of greater sales of products made under contract for third parties.
Gross margin. 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. Despite a 10% increase in net sales, gross profit increased 7% to $977,099 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from $913,846 in the comparable prior year period. Gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased from 24.5% in the prior year period to 23.8% in the current year, primarily due to higher labor costs related to product assembly and packaging. The Company purchased compress and roll pack equipment that it expects to install by the end of the current calendar year. This new equipment is expected to reduce labor costs and increase production capacity to keep pace with increasing demand for the Company’s compressed products.
24
Operating expenses. Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2016 were 24% of net sales, or approximately $1,002,000, compared to 28% of net sales, or approximately $1,034,000, for the same period in the prior year. Although total operating expenses were essentially unchanged from the prior year, Other selling and marketing expense decreased 17% to approximately $285,000, primarily due to lower personnel related costs. General and administrative increased 4% to approximately $584,000, primarily due to higher business insurance expense, and costs related to providing employee health benefits mandated by the Affordable Care Act.
Other income (expense). Other income (expense) during the first quarter increased from expense of approximately ($102,000) in fiscal 2016 to expense of approximately ($152,000) during the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The increase was primarily due to higher average borrowing balances and higher interest expense on those larger balances.
Variability of Results
We have experienced significant quarterly fluctuations in operating results and anticipate that these fluctuations may continue in future periods. Operating results have fluctuated as a result of changes in sales levels to consumers and wholesalers, competition, seasonality 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 increase spending in response to market conditions, and these decisions may have a material adverse effect on financial condition and results of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table summarizes our cash flows: | ||||||||
Three Months Ended | ||||||||
September 30, | ||||||||
(Dollars in thousands) | 2016 | 2015 | ||||||
(Unaudited) | ||||||||
Cash flow data: | ||||||||

Cash used in investing activities | $ | (18 | ) | $ | (32 | ) | ||
Cash provided by (used in) financing activities | $ | 62 | $ | (56 | ) |
As of September 30, 2016, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $339,385, compared to $452,589 in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2015.
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.
25
Operating Activities
Net cash used in the operating activities was $250,040 in the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $47,856 net cash provided by the operating activities in the three months ended September 30, 2015. The primary reason for the decrease in cash provided by operating activities is the net loss of $176,689 and an increase in inventories of $80,473, an increase in accounts receivable of $67,119 and a decrease in accrued compensation of $64,264, offset in part by an increase in accounts payable of $84,766.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities in the three months ended September 30, 2016 was $17,847 and related to the purchase and installation of new production equipment during the first quarter.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2016 of $62,500 was primarily attributable to the increase of borrowings under credit card advance, offset in part by repayments of unsecured note payable, repayment of term note-shareholder and payments on equipment notes and capital leases.
Cash used in financing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2015 of $55,602 was primarily attributable to the repayment of debt obligations, offset in part by the proceeds from an unsecured note payable of $200,000.
Inflation
We cannot determine the precise effects of inflation; however, inflation continues to have an influence on the cost of materials, salaries, and transportation costs. We attempt to offset the effects of inflation through increased selling prices, productivity improvements, and reduction of costs.
Sufficiency of Liquidity
The accompanying consolidated 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 approximately $177,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and a net loss of approximately $312,000 for the year ended June 30, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, we have an accumulated deficit of approximately $9,386,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $2,672,000. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
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 an ongoing initiative to increase sales, gross profits and our gross profit margin. To that end, we continued to make improvements to our e-commerce sites during 2016. At the end of fiscal 2015 we ordered new equipment to increase our fabric cutting capacity; this equipment was delivered and installed during the first quarter of fiscal 2016. At the end of fiscal 2016, we evaluated various options for increasing the throughput of our compressed foam products and during the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we purchased new equipment for installation during the second quarter of fiscal 2017. These actions should yield higher sales at a lower cost of goods sold. We also plan to continue to manage discretionary expense levels to be better aligned with current and expected revenue levels. We estimate that the operational and strategic growth plans we have identified will require approximately $200,000 of funding, of which we estimate will be provided by debt financing and, to a lesser extent, cash flow from operations as well as cash on hand.

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT UNDER THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995.
Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include certain forward-looking statements. Those statements include, but may not be limited to, all statements regarding management’s intent, belief, and expectations, such as statements concerning our future profitability and our operating and growth strategy. Words such as believe,” anticipate,” expect,” will,” may,” should,” intend,” plan,” estimate,” predict,” potential,” continue,” likely” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
In addition, any statements that refer to our plans, expectations, strategies or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statement for any reason.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA income (loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015:
(Dollars in thousands) | Three months ended September 30, | |||||||
2016 | 2015 | |||||||
Net loss | $ | (177 | ) | $ | (222 | ) | ||
Less interest income | ||||||||
Plus interest expense, net | 152 | 102 | ||||||
Plus depreciation and amortization expense | 51 | 58 | ||||||
Plus stock-based compensation | 7 | 10 | ||||||
Adjusted EBITDA income (loss) | $ | 33 | $ | (52 | ) |
As used herein, Adjusted EBITDA income (loss) represents net loss before interest income, interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and stock-based compensation expense. We have excluded the non-cash expenses and stock-based compensation, as they do not reflect the cash-based operations of the Company. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which is not required by or defined under GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). The presentation of this financial measure is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial measures prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, including the net loss of the Company or net cash used in operating activities.
Management recognizes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the items associated with the Company’s net income or net loss as determined in accordance with GAAP, and are not a substitute for or a measure of the Company’s profitability or net earnings. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because we believe it is useful to investors as a measure of comparative operating performance and liquidity, and because it is less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from depreciation and non-cash charges for stock-based compensation expense.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We do not enter into any transactions using derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments and believe that our exposure to market risk associated with other financial instruments is not material.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer (Chief Executive Officer) and principal financial officer (Chief Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in United States Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the management, including CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
