MusclePharm Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(March 31, 2014)

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1: Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

 

Nature of Operations

 

MusclePharm Corporation is a scientifically driven, performance lifestyle Company that develops, manufactures, markets and distributes branded nutritional supplements. We were incorporated in Nevada in 2006.  As used in this report, the terms the “Company”, “we”, “our”, “MusclePharm”, or “MP” refer to MusclePharm Corporation and its predecessors, subsidiaries and affiliates, unless the context indicates otherwise. Our principal executive offices are located in Denver, Colorado.

 

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 (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as amended for interim financial information.

 

The financial information as of December 31, 2013 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. 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 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC 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, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.

 

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MusclePharm Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries MusclePharm Canada Enterprises Corp (“MusclePharm Canada”) and Biozone Laboratories, Inc. (“Biozone”). MusclePharm Canada began operations in April 2012, and Biozone began operations in January 2014. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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 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.

MusclePharm Corporation and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(March 31, 2014)

(Unaudited)

 

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, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits.  At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had two bank accounts that exceeded the federally insured limit.

 

Restricted Cash

 

The Company segregates cash that is restricted in its use based on contractual provisions from unrestricted cash and cash equivalent balances. See Note 8(A) for further discussion on our March 31, 2014 restricted cash balance.

 

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. There is also a review of customer discounts at the period end and an accrual made for discounts earned but not yet utilized by period end.

 

Management performs ongoing evaluations of the Company’s customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. Some international customers are required to pay for their orders in advance of shipment. Management reviews accounts receivable quarterly 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. Bad debt expense recognized as a result of our valuation allowance is classified under General and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

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. The Company’s finance department contacts customers with past due balances to request payment.

 

Accounts receivable consisted of the following at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

 

   As of March 31,   As of December 31, 
   2014   2013 
Accounts receivable  $20,274,972   $14,830,487 
Less: allowance for discounts   (535,621)   (1,060,000)
Less: allowance for doubtful accounts   (105,277)   (29,307)
Accounts receivable – net  $19,634,074   $13,741,180 

 

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had the following concentrations of accounts receivable with customers:

 

Customer  As of March 31, 2014   As of December 31, 2013 
A   22%   16%
Bodybuilding.com (related party – See Note 14)   8%   14%
C   6%   24%

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market value. Product-related inventory for MusclePharm and MusclePharm Canada is maintained using the First-In First-Out method, and inventory for Biozone is maintained using the average cost method. To estimate any necessary obsolescence or lower-of-cost-or-market adjustments, various assumptions are made in regard to excess or slow-moving inventories, non-conforming inventories, expiration dates, current and future product demand, production planning and market conditions.

Prepaid Giveaways

 

Prepaid giveaways represent non-inventory sample items which are given away to aid in promotion of the brand.

 

Prepaid Sponsorship and Endorsement Fees

 

Prepaid sponsorship and endorsement fees represent fees paid in connection with Company sponsorships of certain events and trade shows as well as prepaid athlete endorsement fees, which are expensed over the period the fees are earned. A significant amount of the Company’s promotional expenses results from payments under endorsement and sponsorship contracts.  Accounting treatment for endorsement and sponsorship payments is based upon specific contract provisions.  Generally, endorsement payments are expensed straight-line over the term of the contract after giving recognition to periodic performance compliance provisions of the contract.  Prepayments made under the contracts are included in either current or long-term prepaid expenses depending on the period for which the prepayment applies.

 

Prepaid Stock Compensation

 

Prepaid stock compensation represents amounts paid with stock for future contractual benefits to be received. The Company amortizes these contractual benefits over the life of the contracts using the straight-line method.

 

Prepaid Expenses

 

Prepaid expenses consist of various payments that the Company has made in advance for goods or services to be received in the future. These prepaid expenses include legal retainers, print advertising, insurance and service contracts requiring up-front payments.

 

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 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. We review our property and equipment for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. We use an estimate of future undiscounted net cash flows of the related assets or groups of assets over their remaining lives in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. An impairment loss is calculated by determining the difference between the carrying values and the estimated fair values of these assets. We did not consider any of our property and equipment to be impaired during the three months ended March 31, 2014 or 2013.

Debt Securities

 

The Company classifies its investment securities as either held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading. The Company’s debt securities are classified as trading securities and are carried at fair value with changes recognized through net income. See Note 6 for further discussion of the Company’s debt securities.

 

Accrued Liabilities

 

Accrued liabilities consist of amounts estimated by management for future liability payments that relate to the current accounting period. Management reviews these estimates periodically to determine their reasonableness and fair presentation.

 

Debt

 

The Company defines short term debt as any debt payment due less than one year from the date of the financial statements. Long term debt is defined as any debt payment due more than one year from the date of the financial statements. Refer to Note 8 for further disclosure of debt liabilities.

 

Derivatives

 

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in equity instruments and warrants granted, and measurement of their fair value. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses Black-Scholes or lattice option-valuation models. In assessing the convertible equity instruments, management determines if the convertible equity instrument is conventional convertible equity and further if the beneficial conversion feature requires separate measurement.

 

Once derivative instruments 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 a Black-Scholes or lattice option-pricing model. Once a derivative liability ceases to exist any remaining fair value is reclassified to additional paid-in capital if redeemed or through earnings if forfeited or expired.

 

Share-Based Payments

 

Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and 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.

 

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. For all of our Canadian sales, which represent 2% of total sales, recognition occurs upon shipment.

 

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). 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 records sales allowances and discounts as a direct reduction of sales. The Company grants volume incentive rebates to certain customers based on contractually agreed upon percentages once certain thresholds have been met. These volume incentive rebates are recorded as a direct reduction to sales.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(March 31, 2014)

Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

 

   Three Months Ended March 31, 
   2014   2013 
Gross Sales  $56,705,286   $24,924,036 
           
Discounts   (6,495,832)   (2,362,869)
           
Sales – Net  $50,209,454   $22,561,167 

 

The Company has an informal 7-day right of return for products. There were nominal returns under the Company’s informal right of return policy for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Significant Customers

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had the following concentrations of revenues with customers:

 

   Three Months Ended March 31, 
Customer  2014   2013 
Bodybuilding.com (related party – See Note 14)   15%   33%
B   14%   11%

 

A loss of either of these customers could have a material adverse impact on the Company.

 

Discounts and Sales Allowances

 

We offer various discounts and sales allowances for volume rebate programs, product promotions, early payment remittances, and other discounts and allowances. We accrue for sales discounts and allowances over the period they are earned. Because of the inherent uncertainty surrounding volume rebate programs and product promotions that are based on sales thresholds, actual results could generate liabilities greater or less than the recorded amounts. Sales discounts and allowances for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were $6.5 million, or 11% of gross sales, and $2.4 million of 9% of gross sales, respectively.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales for MusclePharm and MusclePharm Canada represent costs directly related to the production, manufacturing and freight of the Company’s products purchased from third party manufacturers. For products produced by Biozone, cost of sales consists of costs for raw material, direct labor, freight expenses, and other supply and equipment rental expenses used to manufacture products.

 

Significant Vendors

 

The Company uses four non-affiliated principal manufacturers for the components of our products. We have an agreement in place with our primary manufacturer, which is in place to support our growth and ensure consistency in production and quality. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, our primary manufacturer accounted for approximately 54% of our product purchases and the next largest manufacturer accounted for 44% of product purchases. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, our primary manufacturer accounted for 97% of our product purchases.

 

Shipping and Handling

 

We ship customer orders from our distribution center in Franklin, Tennessee. The facility is operated with the Company’s equipment and employees, and all inventory is owned by the Company. Shipments to customers from our distribution center are recorded as a component of cost of sales.

 

The Company also uses a manufacturer in New York to manufacture one of the Company’s products. These orders are typically large and heavy and are drop shipped directly to our customers at the time of order. Costs associated with these shipments are recorded in cost of sales.

For Canadian sales, the product is shipped from our Canadian warehouse to our customers. Costs associated with the shipments are recorded in cost of sales.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising and promotion expenses include digital and print advertising, trade show events, athletic endorsements and sponsorships, and promotional giveaways.  Advertising expenses are recognized in the month that the advertising appears while costs associated with trade show events are expensed when the event occurs.  For major trade shows, the expenses are recognized within the calendar year over the period in which we recognize revenue associated with sales generated at the trade show. Costs related to promotional giveaways are expensed when the product is either given out at a promotional event or shipped to the customer.

 

A significant amount of the Company’s promotional expenses results from payments under endorsement and sponsorship contracts.  Accounting treatment for endorsement and sponsorship payments is based upon specific contract provisions.  Generally, endorsement payments are expensed straight-line over the term of the contract after giving recognition to periodic performance compliance provisions of the contract.  Prepayments made under the contracts are included in either current or long-term prepaid expenses depending on the period for which the prepayment applies.

 

Some of the contracts provide for contingent payments to endorsers or athletes based upon specific achievement in their sports (e.g. winning a championship).  The Company records expense for these payments when the endorser achieves the specific achievement.  

 

Advertising expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, are as follows:

 

   Three Months Ended March 31, 
   2014   2013 
           
Advertising and promotion  $6,328,487   $2,317,377 

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Beginning with the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, (included in FASB ASC Subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes — Overall), the Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.

 

The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. There were no interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period.

 

The Company uses the “treasury stock” method to determine whether there is a dilutive effect of outstanding option and warrant contracts. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 the Company reflected net loss and a dilutive net loss, and the effect of considering any common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive for the period. Therefore, separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Foreign Currency

 

MusclePharm began operations in Canada in April 2012. The Canadian Dollar was determined to be the functional currency as the majority of the transactions related to the day to day operations of the business are exchanged in Canadian Dollars. At the end of the period, the financial results of the Canadian operation are translated into the U.S. Dollar, which is the reporting currency, and added to the U.S. operations for consolidated company financial results. The revenue and expense items are translated using the average rate for the period and the assets and liabilities at the end of period rate. Transactions that have completed the accounting cycle and resulted in a gain or loss related to translation are recorded in realized gain or loss due to foreign currency translation under other income and expense on the income statement. Transactions that have not completed their accounting cycle but appear to have gain or loss due to the translation process are recorded as unrealized gain or loss due to translation and held in the equity section on the balance sheet until such date the accounting cycle of the transaction is complete and the actual realized gain or loss is recognized.

 

Reclassification

 

The Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications were for presentation purposes and had no effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows for the periods presented.

  

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, which indicates that the entire amount of a cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) related to an entity’s investment in a foreign entity should be released when one of the following occur:

 

·Sale of a subsidiary or group of net assets within a foreign entity and the sale represents the substantially complete liquidation of the investment in the foreign entity.

·Loss of a controlling financial interest in an investment in a foreign entity

·Step acquisition for a foreign entity

 

The ASU does not change the requirement to release a pro rata portion of the CTA of the foreign entity into earnings for a partial sale of an equity method investment in a foreign entity. ASU 2013-5 is effective for fiscal years (and interim periods within those fiscal years) beginning on or after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 5: Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price 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.

MusclePharm Corporation and Subsidiaries

(March 31, 2014)

(Unaudited)

 

The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  The following are the major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, using quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

 

   As of March 31,   As of December 31, 
   2014   2013 
Assets          
Debt securities – FUSE convertible notes (Level 2)  $215,000   $259,715 
Derivative instruments – FUSE warrants (Level 2)   -    119,248 
    215,000    378,963 
           
Liabilities          
Derivative liabilities  - Series D shares (Level 2)  $663,096   $1,147,330 

 

The Company’s remaining financial instruments consisted primarily of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and debt. The Company’s debt approximates fair value based upon current borrowing rates available to the Company for debt with similar maturities. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments generally approximated their fair values as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Note 6: Debt Securities

 

On November 7, 2013, the Company purchased, for an aggregate $200,000, a senior secured convertible promissory note from Fuse Science Inc.  (“Fuse”) (OTC:DROP) that matures 90 days from the date of issuance, and certain derivative instruments (Note 7), the value of which was recorded as a discount to the note to be accreted over the note’s term.  The promissory note bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum and is convertible at any time prior to the maturity date into 3,076,923 shares of Fuse common stock at the conversion rate of $0.065 per share. The Company’s ability to convert into Fuse common stock is restricted by a beneficial ownership limitation of 9.99% of the number of the common stock outstanding after giving effect to the issuance of common stock issuable upon conversion. On December 11, 2013, the Company amended the Fuse note and funded an additional $75,000 under the original terms of the note.

 

On January 3, 2014, the Company renewed the combined $275,000 senior secured convertible promissory note from Fuse with a new maturity date of January 3, 2019 and convertible into 13,750,000 shares at a conversion rate $0.02 per share.

 

The Company has classified this note as a Level 2 trading security and has used a Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the value of the conversion option and detachable derivative instrument.  Changes in the reported value of the note will be included as a component of net income.  Values of $206,855 and $174,574 attributable to the conversion option and derivative instruments, respectively, have been recorded as a discount to be accreted as interest income over the stated maturity of the note.  As of March 31, 2014, the entire discount has been accreted to interest income. See Note 18 for subsequent events related to the Fuse convertible note.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s debt securities activity for the three months ended March 31, 2014:

 

   Fuse Note 
Balance – December 31, 2013  $259,715 
Redemption of note   (275,000)
Renewal of note   275,000 
Discount for value of conversion option   (206,855)
Accretion of net discount   222,140 
Unrealized loss on debt security   (60,000)
Balance – March 31, 2014  $215,000 

 

Note 7: Derivative Instruments

 

In conjunction with the purchase of the Fuse convertible promissory note as amended and discussed in Note 6, the Company received callable warrants to purchase up to 9,165,750 shares of Fuse at an exercise price of $0.065 per share with expiration dates of 5 years from the date of issuance. The initial value of the warrants was $174,574 and was recorded as a discount against the note. Upon renewal of the convertible note as discussed in Note 6, the Company recognized the conversion option of the convertible note as a derivative instrument with an initial value of $206,855, which was recorded as a discount against the note.

Debt in default of $59,600 and $59,600 at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, is included as a component of short-term debt. Debt in default is related to certain convertible notes issues in 2012 and prior where the notes were never converted to common stock or principal repaid. The Company is in the process of contacting the note holders and negotiating settlement of the notes.

   

(A)Revolving Line of Credit

 

On December 24, 2013, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit with U.S. Bank, N.A. in the amount of $2,500,000. The line of credit matures on September 15, 2014 and accrues interest at prime plus 2%, which is payable monthly. The interest rate at March 31, 2014 was 5.25%. The note is secured by a $2,500,000 savings account held at U.S. Bank, N.A. and is shown as restricted cash in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 9: Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company identified conversion features embedded within Series D Preferred Stock issued in 2013. 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.

 

The fair value of the conversion feature is summarized as follows:

 

Derivative liability - December 31, 2013   1,147,330 
Fair value mark to market adjustment for equity instruments   (484,234)
Derivative liability – March 31, 2014  $663,096 

 

The Company recorded the day one value of derivative contracts associated with the Series D preferred stock issuance against gross proceeds raised, and expensed immediately the remaining value of the derivative as it exceeded the gross proceeds of the offering. The Company recorded a derivative expense of $0 and $96,913 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

The fair values at the commitment and re-measurement dates for the Company’s derivative liabilities were based upon the following management assumptions as of March 31, 2014:

  

   Commitment Date   Re-measurement Date 
Expected dividends   0%   0%
Expected volatility   120%   40%
Expected term:   1 year    1 year  
Risk free interest rate   0.14%   0.13%

 

Note 10: Restricted Stock Units

 

In November 2012, the Company granted 129,413 restricted stock units through restricted stock unit agreements to certain executives. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock upon vesting. The value of this award at the grant date was $449,900 and will be amortized over the vesting periods such that each tranche of restricted stock units will be fully amortized at the date of vesting. The restricted stock units vest in one tranche of 43,137 on January 1, 2013 and two tranches of 43,138 shares on January 1, 2014 and December 1, 2014. As of March 31, 2014, 86,275 restricted stock units have vested and the unamortized portion of this award is $112,989.

Of these shares, the Company estimates that 1,500,200 shares will fully vest for a total value of $16,517,202. This amount will be amortized over the vesting periods such that each tranche’s estimated shares of restricted stock will be fully amortized at the dates of vesting. The Company will periodically review this estimate for reasonableness and make adjustments as appropriate. The award vests in two tranches with 17% vesting December 31, 2013 and the remaining 83% vesting December 31, 2015 with the exception of certain executives under employment agreements that terminate prior to December 31, 2015.

In December 2013, the Company granted the independent members of the Board of Directors a restricted stock grant of 19,364 shares as part of the annual director’s compensation plan. The awarded shares were issued upon the award’s approval with ownership rights to be conveyed upon vesting. The value of this award at the grant date was $152,000, and will be amortized over the vesting periods. The restricted stock award will vest in three equal tranches on July 1, 2014, July 1, 2015, and July 1, 2016. As of March 31, 2014, no shares have vested and the unamortized portion of the awards was $113,998.

(C) Legal Matters

 

From time to time, the Company is or may become involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business or otherwise. Legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties as to timing, outcomes, costs, expenses and time expenditures by the Company’s management and others on behalf of the Company. Although there can be no assurance, based on information currently available, the Company’s management believes that the outcome of legal proceedings that are pending or threatened against the Company will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition. However, the outcome of any of these matters is neither probable nor reasonably estimable.

 

As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company was not a party to any material litigation, and there were no lawsuits settled during the period.  

 

On March 27, 2014, Plaintiff 580 Garcia Properties, LLC, filed a lawsuit for unlawful detainer in California Superior Court in Contra Costa County, Case No. PS14-0407, against Defendants Biozone Laboratories, Inc., a California corporation, and Biozone Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Nevada corporation (together, “Biozone”), represented by Paul Sievers of Manly, Stewart & Finaldi, and also against Defendants MusclePharm Corporation (“MPC”) and Biozone Laboratories, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“BLI-NV”), represented by King Parret & Droste LLP. The lawsuit seeks judicial determination of lease termination based on the landlords’ refusal to consent to lease assignment as well as incidental damages for alleged rental value even though rent payments are current, and attorney’s fees. On March 21, 2014 the Company received an eviction notice for our Biozone facility at 580 Garcia Avenue, Pittsburg, CA. The Company believes that this legal action is without merit and intends to defend this cause of action. However, if this matter is adversely determined against us, the Company is unable to quantify the amount of damages it would incur, including without limitation, moving expenses. The Company is entitled to indemnification from Biozone pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated November 12, 2013, by and among MusclePharm Corporation, a Nevada corporation, Biozone Laboratories, Inc., a Nevada corporation, Biozone Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Nevada corporation, Biozone Laboratories, Inc., a California corporation, Baker Cummins Corp. a Nevada corporation, and an indemnity agreement executed by Biozone in favor of the Company. The Company is entitled to bring indemnity claims against Biozone for this cause of action as well as other potential claims on or before the date which is nine months from January 2, 2014. 

 

 (D) Product Liability

 

As a manufacturer of nutritional supplements and other consumer products that are ingested by consumers, the Company may be subject to various product liability claims. Although we have not had any material claims to date, it is possible that current and future product liability claims could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company currently maintains product liability insurance with a deductible/retention of $10,000 per claim with an aggregate cap on retained loss of $5,000,000. At March 31, 2014, the Company had not recorded any accruals for product liabilities.

 

(E) Sponsorship and Endorsement Contract Liabilities

 

The Company has various non-cancelable endorsement and sponsorship agreements with terms expiring through 2017. The total value of outstanding payments as of March 31, 2014 was $14,536,916. The total outstanding payments are as follows:

 

Outstanding Payments  2014   2015   2016   2017   Total 
Endorsement  $1,461,000   $2,455,833   $853,333   $-   $4,770,166 
Sponsorship   3,521,250    4,832,500    1,125,000    100,000    9,578,750 
Service   128,000    60,000    -    -    188,000 
Total  $5,110,250   $7,348,333   $1,978,333   $100,000   $14,536,916 

 

(F) SEC Investigation

 

In July 2013, the Company received a formal order of investigation of the Company from the Denver Regional Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result of that formal order, the Company is conducting a review of its internal controls, disclosures of related party transactions, settlements of claims including share issuance, executive compensation, and disclosure of perquisites for the periods of 2010, 2011, and 2012. There can be no assurance that these are the only subject matters of concern, what the nature or amounts in question will be, or that these are the only periods under review.

 

Note 13: Defined Contribution Plan

 

The Company established a 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) for eligible employees of the Company. Generally, all employees of the Company who are at least twenty-one years of age and who have completed six months of entry service are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan. The 401(k) Plan is a defined contribution plan that provides that participants may make voluntary salary deferral contributions, on a pretax basis, of up to $17,500 for 2014 (subject to make-up contributions) in the form of voluntary payroll deductions. The Company may make discretionary contributions. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s matching contribution were $55,534 and $12,791, respectively.

Note 16: Biozone Acquisition

 

On January 2, 2014, the Company closed the transactions contemplated in the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) dated November 12, 2013 with BioZone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“BioZone”) and its subsidiaries, BioZone Laboratories, Inc., and Baker Cummins Corporation (collectively, the “Seller”). At closing, the Company acquired substantially all of the operating assets of BioZone, including all assets associated with QuSomes, HyperSorb and EquaSomes drug delivery technologies and the name “Biozone”, “Biozone Laboratories” and similar names and domain names (and excluding certain assets including cash on hand).

 

The base purchase price under the APA was 1.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock of which 600,000 shares were placed into escrow for a period of nine months to cover indemnification obligations and which shares are also subject to repurchase from the escrow for $10.00 per share in cash during the nine-month escrow period. The remaining 600,000 non-escrowed shares were issued to Biozone upon closing and are subject to a lockup agreement which permits private sales (subject to the lockup and certain leak out provisions). The total consideration paid by MSLP was $9,840,000 in common stock based on the stock price as of January 2, 2014. As of March 31, 2014 and the date of this report, the Company is still evaluating the extent to which there will be adjustments against the purchase price of the Biozone assets and liabilities as a result of certain claims that the Company may assert against Biozone pursuant to the indemnification provision under the APA and the 580 Garcia Lease indemnity agreement.

The Biozone acquisition is considered the acquisition of a business and was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The acquired assets and liabilities have been recognized at their estimated fair value. MusclePharm contracted a third party valuation firm to determine the fair value at the date of purchase of all identifiable tangible and intangible assets purchased in the acquisition.

 

The following reflects the allocation of the consideration to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of the Seller, based upon their estimated fair values:

Intangible amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $285,183 and is included in operating expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

With the exception of domain names, intangibles are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the assets of 2 to 18 years. We review intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. We use an estimate of future undiscounted net cash flows of the related assets or groups of assets over their remaining lives in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. An impairment loss is calculated by determining the difference between the carrying values and the estimated fair values of these assets. We did not consider any of our intangible assets to be impaired during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

 

Note 18: Subsequent Events

 

On April 2, 2014, the remaining 131,500 outstanding shares of our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock held by Dr. Philip Frost were converted into 263,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Biozone Acquisition

 

As more fully discussed in Note 16, the Company closed the transactions contemplated in the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) dated November 12, 2013 with BioZone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“BioZone”) and its subsidiaries, BioZone Laboratories, Inc., and Baker Cummins Corporation (collectively, the “Seller”).

Biozone is a developer, manufacturer, and marketer of over-the-counter drugs and preparations, cosmetics, and nutritional supplements. The acquisition of Biozone was completed to allow us to take the first steps in vertically integrating our supply chain, and will give us the opportunity to start manufacturing some of our own products, which are currently produced by third party manufacturers. We also anticipate leveraging Biozone’s research and development assets to reduce operating expenses paid to third parties for testing and certification of our products.

This 2% of gross sales increase is primarily due to promotions surrounding our Arnold product line during the Arnold Fitness Expo during first quarter. Our Arnold product line is a new product line that we developed and co-branded with Arnold Schwarzenegger and was launched in September 2013.

  

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit increased approximately $9.7 million or 119% to $17.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase was due to the successful execution of our growth strategy as well as improved supply chain optimization, operational infrastructure improvements, enterprise resource planning (ERP) and reporting systems integration and key management hires.  

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased to approximately $15.4 million, compared to approximately $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a $6.6 million increase. As a percent of sales, operating expenses decreased from 39.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to 30.8% for the same period in 2014. These expenses included necessary infrastructure improvements, new growth platforms and initiatives, and staffing increases to establish a scalable organization.

 

Advertising and promotion expenses were $6.3 million, or 12.6% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $2.3 million, or 10.3% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Of this increase, $2.2 million is for expenses related to the strategic partnership that we entered into with Arnold Schwarzenegger as more fully discussed in Note 15.

 

Salaries and benefits were $5.4 million, or 10.7% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 up from $1.2 million, or 5.5% for the same period in 2013.

Interest expense also decreased by $0.7 million for the same time period due to the elimination of convertible debt in 2013.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $2.7 million, or $0.27 per basic share outstanding and $0.23 per diluted share outstanding compared to a net loss for the same period of $7.4 million, or $(1.78) per basic and diluted share.

The following table summarizes total current assets, liabilities and working capital at March 31, 2014, compared to December 31, 2013.

Our primary source of operating cash has been through product sales. Our principal use of cash has been to purchase inventory, pay for operating expenses, and acquire capital assets. At March 31, 2014, we had cash of $3.3 million and working capital of approximately $18.3 million, compared to cash of $5.4 million and working capital of approximately $12.2 million at December 31, 2013. The working capital increase of approximately $6.1 million was due to a net increase in accounts receivables of $5.9 million, an increase in inventory of $0.9 million, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1.2 million, a decrease in derivative liabilities of $0.5 million offset by a decrease in cash of $2.1 million and a decrease in prepaid expense of $0.3 million.

 

Included in our working capital as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are restricted cash balances of $2,500,630 and $2,500,014, respectively. The restricted cash balance is cash collateral for a line of credit that we secured through US Bank in December 2013 as more fully discussed in Note 8(A) in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

The Company’s management believes that with continued growth and increased sales expansion, we will be able to fund operations with operating cash flow; however, the Company may need to continue to raise capital in order execute the business plan, which includes buying more inventory and broadening the sales platform. There can be no assurance that such capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all.

 

Our net consolidated cash inflows (outflows) are as follows:

 

   Three Months Ended March 31, 
   2014   2013 
Operating Activities  $(784,801)  $(3,216,116)
Investing Activities   (1,303,387)   (225,426)
Financing Activities   (2,902)   11,922,620 
Effect of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents   (4,247)   1,849 
Net (decrease) increase in cash  $(2,095,337)  $8,482,927 

 

Cash used in operating activities was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease in cash used in operating activities of approximately $2.4 million was primarily due to an increase in our net income of $10.1 million and unrealized losses of $0.4 million derivative assets and debt securities, offset by a decrease in non-cash expenses and income of $2.5 million, an increase in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and inventory of $1.4 million, and a decrease of $4.2 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

  

Cash used in investing activities increased to $1.3 million from $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 due to increased investments in fixed assets including leasehold improvements.

 

Cash used in financing activities was nil for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to cash flows provided by financing activities of $11.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The $11.9 million decrease was due to $16.4 million decrease in the proceeds from issuance of preferred and common shares offset by a decrease in the repayment of debt of $4.4 million and $0.1 million for the purchase of treasury shares.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Other than the operating leases, as of March 31, 2014, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. We are obligated under operating leases for the rental of office space. Future minimum rental commitments with a remaining term in excess of one year as of March 31, 2014 are as follows:

 

Years Ending December 31,     
2014 (9 months)  $967,816 
2015   868,844 
2016   355,916 
2017   291,528 
2018   291,528 
Thereafter   3,206,808 
Total minimum lease payments  $5,982,440

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and form the basis for the following discussion and analysis on critical accounting policies and estimates. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a regular basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates and those differences could have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations. Management has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of these estimates with the Board of Directors and Audit Committee.

 

A summary of our significant accounting policies is provided in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report. We believe the critical accounting policies and estimates described below reflect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. The impact and any associated risks on our business that are related to these policies are also discussed throughout this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” where such policies affect reported and expected financial results. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in annual report on Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2014.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, which indicates that the entire amount of a cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) related to an entity’s investment in a foreign entity should be released when one of the following occur:

 

·Sale of a subsidiary or group of net assets within a foreign entity and the sale represents the substantially complete liquidation of the investment in the foreign entity.

·Loss of a controlling financial interest in an investment in a foreign entity

·Step acquisition for a foreign entity

 

The ASU does not change the requirement to release a pro rata portion of the CTA of the foreign entity into earnings for a partial sale of an equity method investment in a foreign entity. ASU 2013-5 is effective for fiscal years (and interim periods within those fiscal years) beginning on or after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
