Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(March 31, 2012)
(Unaudited)
Note 1 Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Operations
MusclePharm Corporation (the “Company”, “We”, “Our” or “MP”), was organized as a limited liability company in the State of Colorado on April 22, 2008. On February 18, 2010, the Company executed a reverse recapitalization with Tone in Twenty, Inc. and changed its name to MP.
During the second quarter of 2012, the Company opened operations in Canada under the subsidiary name MusclePharm Canada, Inc. The business will have distribution and sales activity on site in its warehouse in Hamilton, Ontario. The business currently employs five people.
The Company markets branded sports nutrition products.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended for interim financial information.
The financial information as of December 31, 2011 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.
Restatement
On May 14, 2012, the Company determined that a material misstatement exists in the Company’s 2011 quarterly and annual financial statements. The Company concluded that the following financial statements contained material misstatements: (i) the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, filed in an annual report on Form 10-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 16, 2012; (ii) the Company’s unaudited financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2011, filed in a quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the SEC on November 14, 2011; (iii) the Company’s unaudited financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2011, filed in a quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the SEC on August 16, 2011; and (iv) the Company’s unaudited financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2011, filed in a quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the SEC on May 23, 2011.
The foregoing financial statements contained material misstatements pertaining to the Company’s calculation of net sales and presentation of general and administrative expenses and cost of sales. The Company has determined that advertising related credits that were granted to customers fell within the guidance of ASC No. 605-50-55 (“Revenue Recognition” – Customer Payments and Incentives – Implementation Guidance and Illustrations). The guidance indicates that, absent evidence of benefit to the vendor, appropriate treatment requires netting these types of payments against revenues and not expensing as advertising expense. The Company also noted other credits and discounts that, upon further review, had been previously classified as advertising expense as a component of general and administrative expense that require a reallocation of presentation as amounts to be netted against revenues. The Company’s net loss will not be affected by this reallocation in the statement of operations.
Promotions, credits and non-specific advertising with its customers have been reclassified from general and administrative expenses to revenues.
Samples shipped to customers not clearly identifiable were reclassified from general and administrative expense to cost of sales.

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non-conforming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company operates in an industry that is subject to rapid change and intense competition. The Company's operations will be subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, regulatory and other risks, including the potential risk of business failure.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had no cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable represents trade obligations from customers that are subject to normal trade collection terms. The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and considers the need to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical collection experience and specific customer information. Accordingly, the actual amounts could vary from the recorded allowances.
The Company does not charge interest on past due receivables. Receivables are determined to be past due based on the payment terms of the original invoices. Accounts receivable at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011:
Accounts receivable | $ | 4,721,674 | $ | 2,766,776 | ||||
Less: allowance for doubtful accounts | (179,809 | ) | (197,684 | ) | ||||
Accounts receivable – net | $ | 4,541,865 | $ | 2,569,092 |
Prepaid Sponsorship Fees
Prepaid sponsorship fees represents fees paid in connection with future advertising to be received.

MusclePharm Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)
At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had the following concentrations of accounts receivable with customers:
Customer | 2012 | 2011 | ||||||
A | 36 | % | 7 | % | ||||
B | 12 | % | 3 | % | ||||
C | 3 | % | 12 | % | ||||
D | 3 | % | 10 | % | ||||
E | 9 | % | 3 | % | ||||
F | 4 | % | 36 | % |
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated to their estimated residual value over their estimated useful lives. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the assets and related accumulated depreciation are relieved from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are included in operating income in the statements of operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method for all property and equipment.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as service discontinuance or technological obsolescence, indicate that the carrying amount of the long-lived asset may not be recoverable. When such events occur, the Company compares the carrying amount of the asset to the undiscounted expected future cash flows related to the asset. If the comparison indicates that impairment is present, the amount of the impairment is calculated as the difference between the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset. If a readily determinable market price does not exist, fair value is estimated using discounted expected cash flows attributable to the asset. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded no impairment expense.
Website Development Costs
Costs incurred in the planning stage of a website are expensed, while costs incurred in the development stage are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.
The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:
· | Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
· | Level 2: Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
· | Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available. |
The following are the major categories of liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, using quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):
March 31,
2012 | December 31, 2011 | |||||||
Derivative liabilities (Level 2) | $ | 15,098,603 | $ | 7,061,238 |
The Company's financial instruments consisted primarily of accounts receivable, prepaids, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, derivative liabilities and debt. The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments generally approximated their fair values as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Revenue Recognition
The Company records revenue when all of the following have occurred: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) product has been shipped or delivered, (3) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

Beneficial Conversion Feature
For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a "beneficial conversion feature" ("BCF") and related debt discount.
When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF would be recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument. The discount would be amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.
Derivative Liabilities
Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.
Once derivative liabilities are determined, they are adjusted to reflect fair value at the end of each reporting period. Any increase or decrease in the fair value is recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Once a derivative liability ceases to exist any remaining fair value will be reclassified to additional paid in capital.
Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount
The Company may pay debt issue costs, and record debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of convertible debt. These costs are amortized over the life of the debt to interest expense. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.
Original Issue Discount
For certain convertible debt issued, the Company provides the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount is recorded to debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.
Share-Based Payments
The Company has incentive plans that reward employees with stock options, warrants, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. The amount of compensation cost for these share-based awards is measured based on the fair value of the awards, as of the date that the share-based awards are issued and adjusted to the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest.
Fair value of stock options, warrants, and stock appreciation rights, is generally determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, which incorporates assumptions about expected volatility, risk free rate, dividend yield, and expected life. Compensation cost for share-based awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
Earnings (loss) Per Share
Net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) less preferred dividends for the period by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) less preferred dividends by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.
Since the Company reflected a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, the effect of considering any common stock equivalents, if exercisable, would have been anti-dilutive. A separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented.
The Company has the following common stock equivalents at March 31, 2012 and 2011 respectively:
2012 | 2011 | |||||||
Stock options (exercise price - $0.50/share) | 1,617,500 | 2,767,500 | ||||||
Warrants (exercise price $0.002- $1.50/share) | 72,096,327 | 16,310,000 | ||||||
Convertible debt (exercise price $0.002- $0.02/share) | 2,100,000 | 46,504,410 | ||||||
Total common stock equivalents | 75,813,827 | 65,581,910 |
In the above table, some of the outstanding instruments from 2012 and 2011 contains ratchet provisions that would cause variability in the exercise price at the balance sheet date. As a result, common stock equivalents could change at each reporting period.
Reclassification
The Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation including the restatement previously mentioned. These reclassifications had no effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 requires reporting entities to disclose additional information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, ASU 2011-04 requires reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.

Note 3 Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $16,035,293 and net cash provided by operations of $1,423,375 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and a working capital deficit and stockholders’ deficit of $18,140,341 and $17,209,090 respectively, at March 31, 2012. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on Management's plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The Company may need to incur liabilities with certain related parties to sustain the Company’s existence.
The Company will require additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. The Company believes its current available cash along with anticipated revenues may be insufficient to meet its cash needs for the near future. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.
In response to these problems, management has taken the following actions:
· | seeking additional third party debt and/or equity financing, |
· | continue with the implementation of the business plan, |
· | allocate sufficient resources to continue with advertising and marketing efforts |
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The debt holders are entitled, at their option, to convert all or part of the principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at conversion prices and terms discussed above. The Company classifies embedded conversion features in these notes as a derivative liability due to management’s assessment that the Company may not have sufficient authorized number of shares of common stock required to net-share settle or due to the existence of a ratchet due to an anti-dilution provision. See Note 6 regarding accounting for derivative liabilities.

Note 6 Derivative Liabilities
The Company identified conversion features embedded within convertible debt, warrants and series A, preferred stock issued in 2011 and 2010 (see Notes 5 and 9). The Company has determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option should be accounted for at fair value as a derivative liability as the Company could not determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all transactions.

As a result of the application of ASC No. 815, the fair value of the conversion feature is summarized as follow:
Derivative liability - December 31, 2011 | $ | 7,061,238 | ||
Fair value at the commitment date for debt instruments | 1,096,808 | |||
Fair value at the commitment date for warrants issued | 2,707,774 | |||

Reclassification to additional paid in capital for financial instruments that ceased to be a derivative liability | (4,124,387 | ) | ||
Derivative liability - March 31, 2012 | $ | 15,098,603 |
The Company recorded the debt discount to the extent of the gross proceeds raised, and expensed immediately the remaining value of the derivative as it exceeded the gross proceeds of the note. The Company recorded a derivative expense of $1,456,910 and $1,359,369 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The fair value at the commitment and re-measurement dates for the Company’s derivative liabilities were based upon the following management assumptions as of March 31, 2012:
Commitment Date | Re-measurement Date | |||||||
Expected dividends | 0 | % | 0 | % | ||||
Expected volatility | 228% -249 % | 226% -249 % | ||||||
Expected term: | 6 months – 2.5 years | 6 months – 2.5 years | ||||||
Risk free interest rate | 0.12% - 0.69 % | 0.2% - 0.33 % |
Note 7 Stockholders’ Deficit
The Company has three separate series of authorized preferred stock:
(A) Series A, Convertible Preferred Stock
This class of stock has the following provisions:
· | Non-voting, |
· | No rights to dividends, |
· | No liquidation value, |
· | Convertible into 200 shares of common stock |
(B) Series B, Preferred Stock (Related Parties)
In August 2011, the Company issued an aggregate 51 shares of Series B, preferred stock to 2 of its officers and directors. The Company accounted for the share issuance at par value since there was no future economic value that could be associated with the issuance.
This class of stock has the following provisions:
· | Voting rights entitling the holders to an aggregate 51% voting control, |
· | Initially no rights to dividends, |
· | Stated value of $0.001 per share, |
· | Liquidation rights entitle the receipt of net assets on a pro-rata basis; and |
· | Non-convertible |
(C) Series C, Convertible Preferred Stock
In October 2011, the Company issued 190 shares of Series C, preferred stock, having a fair value of $190,000. Of the total shares issued, 100 shares were issued for $100,000 ($1,000 /share). The remaining 90 shares were issued for services rendered having a fair value of $90,000 ($1,000 /share), based upon the stated value per share. In March 2012, all 190 shares were converted into 19,000,000 common shares at a conversion price of $0.00001 per share.
This class of stock has the following provisions:
· | Stated Value - $1,000 per share, |
· | Non-voting, |
· | Liquidation rights entitle an amount equal to the stated value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends |
· | As long as any Series C, convertible preferred stock is outstanding, the Company is prohibited from executing various corporate actions with the majority consent of the Series C, convertible preferred stockholders authorization; and |
· | Convertible at the higher of (a) $0.01 or (b) such price that is a 50% discount to market using the average of the low 2 closing bid prices, 5 days preceding conversion |
Due to the existence of an option to convert at a variable amount, the Company has applied ASC No. 815, and treated this series of preferred stock as a derivative liability due to the potential for settlement in a variable quantity of shares. Additionally, the Company computed the fair value of the derivative liability at the commitment date and remeasurement date, which was $293 and $175, respectively, using the black-scholes assumptions below. This transaction is analogous to a dividend with a direct charge to retained earnings.

The forebearance of agreement terms valuation of $914,500 is reduced by $135,000 accrual, for items expensed in the year ended December 31, 2011, but are treated in the current period as a non-cash settlement, which nets to $779,500 as shown in the statement of cash flows as loss on debt.
(E) Stock Options
The Company applied fair value accounting for all shares based payments awards. The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes assumptions used in the year ended December 31, 2010 is as follows:
Exercise price | $ | 0.50 | ||

Note 8 Committments, Contingencies and Other Matters
(A) Operating Lease
In August 2010, the Company leased office space under a non-cancelable operating lease, expiring in December 2015.
Future minimum annual rental payments are approximately as follows:
Years Ended December 31,
2012 (9 months) | $ | 64,771 | ||
2013 | 92,421 | |||
2014 | 98,481 | |||
2015 | 104,542 | |||
Total minimum lease payments | $ | 360,215 |
Rent expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $43,573 and $44,076, respectively.
(B) Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties as to outcomes. Although there can be no assurances, based on information currently available, management believes that it is probable that the ultimate outcome of matters that are pending or threatened will not have a material effect on the company’s consolidated financial condition.
Other legal matters to which the Company is party do exist. At this time the outcome of these matters is not probable nor reasonably estimable. The Company intends to defend these matters vigorously. The company is party to the following legal matters as of March 31, 2012:
· | Plaintiff alleges the Company’s use of the tagline "Train like an unchained beast" infringes on their mark "Beast" for dietary supplements. Plaintiff's primary goal is not damages, but rather that the Company cease using the tagline. The Company believes the case is without merit. |
· | Plaintiff has filed notices of intent to commence litigation on over 200 sports nutrition and dietary supplement companies in the US and Canada, including the Company. Plaintiff alleges violations of California's Proposition 65. The Company considers this case without merit and merely an attempt by a commercial plaintiff to pressure settlements. |
· | On April 20, 2012, Musclepharm received notice of a pending lawsuit in U.S. Federal District Court in Utah alleging misevaluation of stock used to settle a debt obligation. The Company believes the Plaintiffs case is without merit. |
(C) Payroll Taxes
As of March 31, 2012 accounts payable and accrued expenses included approximately $163,000 pertaining to accrued payroll taxes. The taxes represent employee withholdings that have yet to be remitted to the taxing agencies.
Included in the $163,000 is an amount due prior to the Company becoming a publicly traded company in February 2010, when the Company existed as an LLC, which at that time had accrued payroll taxes/penalties and interest of approximately $53,000.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This report and other reports filed by our Company from time to time with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively the “Filings”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, our management as well as estimates and assumptions made by our management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to us or our management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our current view with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including those set forth in the Risk Factors on page 10. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Sales
Sales increased approximately $13.5 million or 446% to $16,560,680 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $3,033,936 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in sales was primarily attributable to increased brand awareness. Since inception, the Company has focused on an aggressive marketing plan to penetrate the market. As such, new promotional efforts have been made to increase sales by adding new customers and expanding our product line. The inclusion of new Gel squeeze tubes in various flavors has increased sales and seems to be reaching new customer demands. Another area of the increase is due to the growth in the international markets. Overall as a direct result of the aggressive marketing plan, our products are currently being offered in more retail stores, both domestic and international, and our products are receiving better shelf placement.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased approximately $3.0 million or 480% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same three months ended March 31, 2011. Meanwhile the gross profit percentage increased slightly to approximately 22% during the three months ended March 31, 2012 from 21% for the same period ending March 31, 2011.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased approximately $2.7 million over the same three months ended March 31, 2011. The increases seen in sales had corresponding increases in the general and administrative expenses bringing the total to $4,392,811 for the quarter ending March 31, 2012, as compared to $1,719,627 for the comparable three months ended March 31, 2011.
The major increase was the result of $856,000 in athlete endorsements, $1,084,000 in increases for salaries and benefits, $159,000 in stock based compensation, $146,000 through increased advertising and promotions, and other increases in general administrative expenses of $340,000. The total increase was offset by decreases in professional fees of approximately $182,000, and decrease in store support of $250,000.
Loss from Operations
The loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012, was $727,293 as compared to a loss of $1,087,225 for the comparable three months ended March 31, 2011. The improved operating performance for the period is primarily attributable to an aggressive marketing plan and the Company’s ability to gain brand recognition resulting in increased sales during the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Other Expenses
Other net expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012, were $15,308,000, as compared to $3,924,697 for the comparable three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in other expenses of $11,383,303 is primarily attributed to items shown in the table below:
Three Months Ended | ||||||||

Other income (expense) | $ | 18,422 | $ | - | ||||
$ | (15,308,000 | ) | $ | (3,924,697 | ) |
The increase in this expense category was mainly attributed to fair value changes in derivative contracts and the increase in interest expense.
Net Loss
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012, was $16,035,293 or $(0.01) loss per share as compared to $5,011,922 or loss per share of $(0.03) compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Inflation did not have a material impact on the Company’s operations for the period. Other than the foregoing, management knows of no trends, demands, or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table summarizes total current assets, liabilities and working capital at March 31, 2012, compared to December 31, 2011.
March 31, 2012 | December 31, 2011 | Increase/Decrease | ||||||||||

Our primary source of operating cash has been through the sale of equity and through the issuance of convertible secured promissory notes and other short term debt as discussed below.
At March 31, 2012, the Company had cash of $1,299,235 and working capital deficit of approximately $17.8 million, compared to cash of $659,764 and a working capital deficit of approximately $13.7 million at December 31, 2011. The working capital deficit increase of approximately $4.1 million is primarily due to an increase in derivative liabilities of approximately $8 million, and an decrease in other assets of $0.3 million offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $2 million and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of approximately $1.6 million, and $0.6 million in cash.
Cash provided by operating activities was approximately $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to cash used in operating activities of approximately $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in cash provided by operating activities of approximately $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011, was primarily due to an increased payables and deferred revenue of approximately $2.6 million, an increase in derivative liabilities of $8.2 million, a net increase in expenses related to the repayment and conversion of debt of $1 million, and a increase in depreciation and amortization $1.7 million, offset by an increase net loss of $11 million, and an increase in accounts receivable and prepaids of $0.3 million.
Cash used in investing activities increased to $0.3 million from $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 due to slightly higher spending on fixed assets. Future investments in property and equipment, as well as further development of our Internet presence will largely depend on available capital resources.
Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to cash flows provided by financing activities of approximately $1.4 million for three months ended March 31, 2011. The approximately $1.9 million decrease is due to the $3.3 million increase in repayments of debt and $0.2 million purchase of treasury stock offset by an increase proceeds from issuance of debt of $1.4 million and proceeds from warrant exercises of approximately $0.3 million.
Cash Flows From Financing Activities: For the Three Months Ended | March 31 2012 | March 31 2011 | ||||||

Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $16,035,293 and net cash provided by operations of $1,423,375 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and a working capital deficit and stockholders’ deficit of $18,140,341 and $17,209,090 respectively, at March 31, 2012. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on management's plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, sale of aged debt to third parties in exchange for free trading stock, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The Company may need to incur liabilities with certain related parties to sustain the Company’s existence.
The Company will require additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. The Company believes its current available cash along with anticipated revenues may be insufficient to meet its cash needs for the near future. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.
In response to these problems, management has taken the following actions:
• | seeking additional third party debt and/or equity financing; |
• | continue with the implementation of the business plan; |
• | allocate sufficient resources to continue with advertising and marketing efforts. |
Financings
Our primary source of operating cash has been through the sale of equity and through the issuance of convertible secured promissory notes.
The Company continues to explore potential expansion opportunities in the industry in order to boost sales, while leveraging distribution systems to consolidate lower costs. The Company needs to continue to raise money in order execute the business plan.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Other than the operating leases, as of March 31, 2012, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. We are obligated under an operating lease for the rental of office space. Future minimum rental commitments with a remaining term in excess of one year as of March 31, 2012 are as follows:
Years Ended December 31,
2012 | $ | 64,771 | ||
2013 | 92,421 | |||
2014 | 98,481 | |||
2015 | 104,542 | |||
Total minimum lease payments | $ | 360,215 |
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
19 |
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non-conforming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company operates in an industry that is subject to rapid change and intense competition. The Company’s operations will be subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, regulatory and other risks, including the potential risk of business failure.
Principles of Consolidation
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non-conforming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable represents trade obligations from customers that are subject to normal trade collection terms. The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and considers the need to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical collection experience and specific customer information. Accordingly, the actual amounts could vary from the recorded allowances.
The Company does not charge interest on past due receivables. Receivables are determined to be past due based on the payment terms of the original invoices.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.
The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:
· | Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
· | Level 2: Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
· | Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available. |
Revenue Recognition
The Company records revenue when all of the following have occurred: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) product has been shipped or delivered, (3) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.
Depending on individual customer agreements, sales are recognized either upon shipment of products to customers or upon delivery. The Company records sales allowances and discounts as a direct reduction of sales.
The Company has determined that advertising related credits that were granted to customers fell within the guidance of ASC No. 605-50-55 (“Revenue Recognition” – Customer Payments and Incentives – Implementation Guidance and Illustrations). The guidance indicates that, absent evidence of benefit to the vendor, appropriate treatment requires netting these types of payments against revenues and not expensing as advertising expense.
The Company has an informal 7-day right of return for products. There were nominal returns at the quarter ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011.

Accounts Receivable
MusclePharm performs ongoing evaluations of its customer’s financial condition and generally does not require collateral. Management reviews accounts receivable periodically and reduces the carrying amount by a valuation allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of amounts that may not be collectible. Allowances, if any, for uncollectible accounts receivable are determined based upon information available and historical experience.
Beneficial Conversion Feature
For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a “beneficial conversion feature” (“BCF”) and related debt discount.
When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF would be recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument. The discount would be amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.
Derivative Liabilities
Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.
Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount
The Company may pay debt issue costs, and record debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of convertible debt. These costs are amortized over the life of the debt to interest expense. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.
Original Issue Discount
For certain convertible debt issued, the Company provides the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount is recorded to debt discount and additional paid in capital at an amount not to exceed gross proceeds raised, reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.
Share-Based Payments
Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants, restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Share-based compensation awards issued to non- employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 requires reporting entities to disclose additional information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, ASU 2011-04 requires reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.

(B) Changes in internal control OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
This company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuer’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
1. Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer;
2. Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and
3. Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is appropriately recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods.
Management has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2011 based on the framework established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
Based on this assessment, management concluded that as of May 2012 it had material weaknesses in its internal control procedures.
The Company’s assessment identified certain material weaknesses which are set forth below:
Functional Controls and Segregation of Duties
Because of the company’s limited resources, there are limited controls over information processing, and insufficient internal controls over the accuracy, completeness and authorization of transactions.
There is an inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. Our company’s management is composed of a small number of individuals resulting in a situation where limitations on segregation of duties exist. In order to remedy this situation we would need to hire additional staff to provide greater segregation of duties. Currently, it is not feasible to hire additional staff to obtain optimal segregation of duties. Management will reassess this matter in the following year to determine whether improvement in segregation of duty is feasible.
Accordingly, as the result of identifying the above material weaknesses we have concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above were the result of the scale of our operations and are intrinsic to our small size. Management believes these weaknesses did not have a material effect on our financial results and is actively working to take remedial actions.
We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us by preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
(1) We will continue to update the documentation of our internal control processes, including formal risk assessment of our financial reporting processes.
(2) Retain staff to assist in financial and accounting controls.
Subsequent to December 31 2011, we have undertaken the following steps to address the deficiencies stated above:
· | Continued the development and documentation of internal controls and procedures surrounding the financial reporting process, primarily through the use of account reconciliations, and supervision. |
22 |
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our PEO and PFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon that evaluation, the PEO and PFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.
(c) Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within MusclePharm have been detected.
