NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

Twinlab Consolidated Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on October 24, 2013 under the laws of the State of Nevada as Mirror Me, Inc. On August 7, 2014, the Company amended its articles of incorporation and changed its name to Twinlab Consolidated Holdings, Inc.

Nature of Operations

The Company and its subsidiaries manufacture and market high-quality, science-based nutritional supplements. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Twinlab Consolidation Corporation (“TCC”); TCC’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Twinlab Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as Idea Sphere Inc.) (“THI”), NutraScience Labs, Inc. (“NutraScience”), NutraScience Labs IP Corporation, and Organic Holdings LLC (“Organic Holdings”); THI’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Twinlab Corporation (sometimes referred to herein as “Twinlab”) and ISI Brands, Inc.

These products are sold primarily through health and natural food stores and national and regional drug store chains, supermarkets, and mass-market retailers.

Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation and Unaudited Information

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. Financial results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of financial results that may be expected for the fiscal year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the SEC on April 14, 2016.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant management estimates include those with respect to returns and allowances, allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves for inventory obsolescence, the recoverability of long-lived assets and the estimated value of warrants and derivative liabilities.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the 2015 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Significant Concentration of Credit Risk

Sales to the Company’s top three customers aggregated to approximately 26% and 31% of total sales for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and approximately 26% and 36% of total sales for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Sales to one of those customers were approximately 9% and 19% of total sales for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and approximately 10% and 25% of total sales for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Accounts receivable from these customers were approximately 35% and 24% of total accounts receivable as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 – inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 – inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the underlying asset or liability.

The following table summarizes the financial instruments of the Company measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

Basic net income or loss per common share (Basic EPS) is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income or loss per common share (Diluted EPS) is computed by dividing net income or loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive potential common share equivalents then outstanding. Potential dilutive common share equivalents consist of 23,098,512 total shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants to acquire common stock using the treasury stock method and the average market price per share during the period.

For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the diluted weighted average number of shares is the same as the basic weighted average number of shares as the inclusion of any common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. The amendments in this ASU revise the accounting related to lessee accounting. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases. The new lease guidance also simplifies the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and are to be applied through a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We have not yet determined the impact on our consolidated financial statements of the adoption of this new accounting pronouncement.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Stock Compensation (Topic 718)”, which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including the income tax impacts, the classification on the statement of cash flows, and forfeitures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods. We have not yet determined the impact on our consolidated financial statements of the adoption of this new accounting pronouncement.

Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB, which the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable, we do not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of operations and realization of assets and liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Since its formation, the Company has generated losses from operations. At June 30, 2016, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $226,172. These losses were associated with start-up activities and brand infrastructure development. Recently, losses are primarily attributable to lower than planned sales resulting from low fill rates on demand due to working capital limitations, delayed product introductions and postponed marketing activities, restructuring costs and interest. Losses have been funded primarily through issuance of common stock, borrowings from our stockholders and third-party debt.

Because of this history of operating losses, significant interest expense on the Company’s debt, and the recording of significant derivative liabilities, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $32,422 at June 30, 2016. The Company also has significant debt due within the next 12 months. These continuing conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Management has addressed operating issues through the following actions: focusing on growing the core business and brands; continuing emphasis on major customers and key products; reducing manufacturing and operating costs and continuing to negotiate lower prices from major suppliers. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company obtained debt funding totaling $19,500 to fund current operations. In addition, in July 2016, the Company entered into promissory note agreements with two of its lenders whereby pursuant to draw requests made by the Company, the lenders may loan the Company up to an aggregate maximum principal amount of $9,540. See Note 10. In July and August 2016, the Company requested draws under the promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $3,724. However, the Company believes that it may need additional capital to execute its business plan. If additional funding is required, there can be no assurance that sources of funding will be available when needed on acceptable terms or at all.

NOTE 3 – INVENTORIES

Inventories consisted of the following at:

NOTE 4 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment consisted of the following at:

Assets held under capital leases are included in machinery and equipment and amounted to $1,392 and $1,737 as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization expense totaled $162 and $123 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and totaled $346 and $244 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

In 2013, the Company entered into a sale-leaseback arrangement relating to its office facilities. Under the terms of the arrangement, the Company sold an office building and surrounding land and then leased the property back under a 15-year operating lease. The Company recorded a deferred gain for the amount of the gain on the sale of the asset, to be recognized as a reduction of rent expense over the life of the lease.

NOTE 5 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets consisted of the following at:

Trademarks are amortized over periods ranging from 3 to 30 years, customer relationships are amortized over periods ranging from 15 to 16 years, and other intangible assets are amortized over 3 years. Amortization expense was $582 and $225 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and was $1,088 and $380 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

The number of shares of common stock issuable pursuant to certain warrants issued in 2015 will be increased if the Company’s audited adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) or the market price of the Company’s common stock do not meet certain defined amounts. The Company has recorded these warrants as derivative liabilities due to the variable terms of the warrant agreements. Accordingly, the Company has estimated the total fair value of the derivative liabilities at $17,053 as of June 30, 2016.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company had the following activity in its derivative liabilities account:

The value of the derivative liabilities is generally estimated using an options lattice model with multiple inputs and assumptions, including the market price of the Company’s common stock, stock price volatility and other assumptions to project EBITDA and other reset events. These inputs and assumptions are subject to management’s judgment and can vary materially from period to period.

NOTE 9 – STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

Preferred Stock

The Company has authorized 500,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. No shares of the preferred stock have been issued.

Twinlab Consolidation Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan

The only equity compensation plan currently in effect is the Twinlab Consolidation Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “TCC Plan”), which was assumed by the Company on September 16, 2014. The TCC Plan originally established a pool of 20,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance as incentive awards to employees for the purposes of attracting and retaining qualified employees who will aid in the success of the Company. From January through December 2015, the Company granted Restricted Stock Units to certain employees of the Company pursuant to the TCC Plan. Each Restricted Stock Unit relates to one share of the Company’s common stock. The Restricted Stock Unit awards vest 25% each annually on various dates through 2019. The Company estimated the grant date fair market value per share of the Restricted Stock Units and is amortizing the total estimated grant date value over the vesting periods. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, a total of 822,890 shares of common stock were issued to employees pursuant to the vesting of Restricted Stock Units. As of June 30, 2016, 11,043,396 shares remain available for use in the TCC Plan.

On August 6, 2016, the 18-month anniversary of the closing of the share purchase, the Company must pay the purchaser of the common stock the difference between $2.29 per share and either a defined market price or a price per share determined by a valuation firm acceptable to both parties. Based on a valuation performed during the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company estimated the total loss on the stock purchase price guarantee and recorded a liability included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities at June 30, 2016 of $3,210. The Company has obtained an extension of the effective date of the valuation true-up through August 20, 2016.

Our Operations

We are an integrated manufacturer, marketer, distributor and retailer of branded nutritional supplements and other natural products sold to and through domestic health and natural food stores, mass market retailers, specialty stores and websites. Internationally, we market and distribute branded nutritional supplements and other natural products to and through health and natural product distributors and retailers. An integral part of our core business strategy has been to acquire, integrate and operate businesses in the natural products industry that manufacture, market and distribute branded nutritional supplements. Following the successful acquisition of the Twinlab and Organic Holdings businesses and their premium brands referenced below, as well as the acquisition of the Nutricap book of contract manufacturing business, the Company is now primarily focused on completing the integration of these acquired assets and growing these businesses and brands to become industry leaders in the dietary supplement and natural product categories in which they compete.

We manufacture and sell nutritional products, including primarily a full line of nutritional supplements under the Twinlab® brand (including the Twinlab® Fuel family of sports nutrition products) and Reserveage™ Nutrition brand. We also manufacture and sell diet and energy products under the Metabolife® brand name, a line of products that promote joint health under the Trigosamine® brand name, and a full line of herbal teas under the Alvita® brand name. These products are sold primarily through health and natural food stores and national and regional drug store chains, supermarkets, and mass-market retailers.

We also perform contract manufacturing services and make private label products for third parties.  Our contract manufacturing business involves the manufacture of custom products to the specifications of a customer who requires finished product.  We do not market these products – we simply manufacture them and deliver them to the customer who then markets and sells the products to retailers or end users under the customer’s own brand name.

We manufacture and/or distribute one of the broadest branded product lines in the industry with approximately 550 stock keeping units, or SKUs, including approximately 250 SKUs sold internationally. We believe that as a result of our emphasis on innovation, quality, loyalty, education and customer service, our brands are widely recognized in health and natural food stores and among their customers.

We focused significantly in 2015 on successfully obtaining funding for and completing two acquisitions which form the foundation for our consolidation and growth strategy. The first was the acquisition of the customer relationships of Nutricap Labs, LLC (“Nutricap”), a provider of dietary supplement contract manufacturing services, into the Company’s subsidiary, NutraScience, on February 6, 2015, and the second was the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of Organic Holdings, LLC (“Organic Holdings”), a market leader in the healthy aging and beauty from within categories and owner of the award-winning Reserveage™ Nutrition brand. Consequently, the results of our operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2016 generally will not be comparable to the results of our operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2015.

Going Concern Uncertainty

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of operations and realization of assets and liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Since its formation, the Company has generated losses from operations. At June 30, 2016, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $226,172. These losses were associated with start-up activities and brand infrastructure development. Recently, losses are primarily attributable to lower than planned sales resulting from low fill rates on demand due to working capital limitations, delayed product introductions and postponed marketing activities, restructuring costs and interest. Losses have been funded primarily through issuance of common stock, borrowings from our stockholders and third-party debt.

Because of this history of operating losses, significant interest expense on the Company’s debt, and the recording of significant derivative liabilities, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $32,422 at June 30, 2016. The Company also has significant debt due within the next 12 months. These continuing conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Management has addressed operating issues through the following actions: focusing on growing the core business and brands; continuing emphasis on major customers and key products; reducing manufacturing and operating costs and continuing to negotiate lower prices from major suppliers. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company obtained debt funding totaling $19,500 to fund current operations. In addition, in July 2016, the Company entered into promissory note agreements with two of its lenders whereby pursuant to draw requests made by the Company, the lenders may loan the Company up to an aggregate maximum principal amount of $9,540. In July and August 2016, the Company requested draws under the promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $3,724. It is possible that we may need additional capital to execute our business plan. If additional funding is required, there can be no assurance that sources of funding will be available when needed on acceptable terms or at all.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of our financial statements required us to make estimates and assumptions that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reported periods. Significant estimates include values and lives assigned to acquired intangible assets, reserves for customer returns and allowances, uncollectible accounts receivable, valuation adjustments for slow moving, obsolete and/or damaged inventory and valuation, recoverability of long-lived assets, estimated values of stock options and warrants, share-based compensation, and the identification and valuation of derivatives. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Our critical accounting policies and estimates include the following:

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from product sales, net of estimated returns and allowances, is recognized when evidence of an arrangement is in place, related prices are fixed and determinable, contractual obligations have been satisfied, title and risk of loss have been transferred to the customer and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Shipping terms are generally freight on board shipping point.

Accounts Receivable and Allowances

Accounts receivable are derived from distributors, health and natural food stores, mass market retailers, on-line retailers, and specialty stores. We grant credit to customers and generally do not require collateral or other security. We perform credit evaluations of our customers and provide for expected claims, related to promotional items; customer discounts; shipping shortages and damages; and doubtful accounts based upon historical bad debt and claims experience. We sell predominately in the North American and European markets, with international sales transacted in U.S. Dollars.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Costs are determined using the weighted average cost method, and are reduced by an estimated reserve for obsolete inventory.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the expected undiscounted cash flows of the asset, an impairment charge is recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds fair value. The testing of these intangibles under established guidelines for impairment requires significant use of judgment and assumptions. Changes in forecasted operations and other assumptions could materially affect the estimated fair values. Changes in business conditions could potentially require adjustments to these asset valuations.

Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized, but tested for impairment on an annual basis at the end of our fiscal year and at an interim date if indicators of impairment exist.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using an asset and liability approach. Deferred income taxes are determined by applying currently enacted tax laws and rates to the cumulative temporary differences between the carrying values of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. Valuation allowances against deferred tax assets are recorded when we are unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will be realized.

Value of Warrants Issued With Debt

We estimate the grant date value of certain warrants issued with debt using the Black-Scholes pricing model or an options lattice model, recording the amounts as interest expense, debt discount or other expense amount. These estimates involve multiple inputs and assumptions, including the market price of the Company’s common stock, stock price volatility and other assumptions to project EBITDA and other reset events. These inputs and assumptions are subject to management’s judgment and can vary materially from period to period.

Share-Based Compensation

We record share-based compensation, including grants of restricted stock units, based on their grant date fair values and record compensation expense over the vesting period of the restricted stock awards.

Derivative Liabilities

We have recorded certain warrants as derivative liabilities at estimated fair value due to the variable terms of the warrant agreements. The value of the derivative liabilities are generally estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model or an options lattice model with multiple inputs and assumptions, including the market price of the Company’s common stock, stock price volatility and other assumptions to project EBITDA and other reset events. These inputs and assumptions are subject to management’s judgment and can vary materially from period to period.

Results of Operations

Net Sales

Our net sales increased $636, or approximately 3%, to $22,222 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $21,586 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. On a year-to-date basis, our net sales decreased $819, or approximately 2%, to $42,839 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $43,658 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. This year-to-date decrease in our net sales, which was partially offset by additional sales resulting from the acquisition of the Nutricap customer relationships by NutraScience on February 6, 2015 and the acquisition of Organic Holdings on October 5, 2015, resulted primarily because of our inability to process orders on a timely basis due to operating cash constraints, delayed product introductions and postponed marketing activities.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit increased $2,626, or approximately 78%, to $5,975 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $3,349 for the three months June 30, 2015, and increased $2,436, or approximately 35%, to $9,397 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $6,961 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. On a year-to-date basis, this increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to improved margins due to a strategic effort to eliminate low margin business in 2016 plus gross profit contributed by NutraScience and Organic Holdings.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1,105, or approximately 15%, to $8,567 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $7,462 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. On a year-to-date basis, our selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3,535, or approximately 24%, to $18,489 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $14,954 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses resulted from the addition of Nutricap and Organic Holdings, partially offset by positive results from a reduction in force. On April 13, 2016, the Company performed a reduction in force to right-size the number of employees against the needs of current operations. A total of 58 employees were affected in this reduction of force. Estimated costs associated with this reduction in force were $650, including costs for retention agreements, severance agreements, paid time off and COBRA exposure.

Loss on Stock Purchase Price Guarantee

On August 6, 2016, the 18-month anniversary of the closing of a share purchase agreement, the Company must pay the purchaser of the common stock the difference between $2.29 per share and either a defined market price or a price per share determined by a valuation firm acceptable to both parties. Based on a valuation performed during the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company estimated the total loss on the stock purchase price guarantee and recorded a liability included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities at June 30, 2016 of $3,210. The Company has obtained an extension of the effective date of the valuation true-up through August 20, 2016.

Interest Expense, Net

Our interest expense increased $164, or approximately 8%, to $2,147 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $1,983 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, and increased $393, or approximately 11%, to $4,107 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from $3,714 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase in interest expense is due primarily to interest on new debt incurred in 2015 to complete the Nutricap and Organic Holdings acquisitions and significant new debt incurred during the first six months of 2016, including the amortization of related debt discounts.

Gain on Change in Derivative Liabilities

We have issued warrants for the purchase of our common stock that, due to certain variable terms of the warrant agreements, are recorded as derivative liabilities at estimated fair value. The estimated value of the derivative liabilities is estimated using multiple inputs and assumptions, which are subject to management’s judgment and which could vary materially from period to period. The derivative liabilities are generally estimated at the grant date of the warrants and at subsequent financial reporting dates. Changes in the estimated value of the derivative liabilities are recorded as gains or losses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we reported a gain on change in derivative liabilities of $1,072 and during the three months ended June 30, 2015, we reported a loss on change in derivative liabilities of $10,356. Similarly, on a year-to-date basis, we reported a gain on change in derivative liabilities of $14,063 during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to a loss on change in derivative liabilities of $10,356 during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2016, we had an accumulated deficit of $226,172. Primarily because of our history of operating losses and our recording of significant derivative liabilities, we have a working capital deficiency of $32,422 at June 30, 2016. Losses have been funded primarily through issuance of common stock, borrowings from our stockholders and third-party debt and proceeds from the exercise of warrants. As of June 30, 2016, we had cash of $5,952. On an ongoing basis, we also seek to improve operating cash through trade receivables and payables management as well as inventory stocking levels. We used net cash in operating activities of $12,982 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we incurred new debt of $19,500 and in July and August 2016 incurred new debt totaling $3,724 to fund our operations. In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2015, we incurred significant new debt and completed multiple equity transactions to fund the acquisition of the Nutricap customer relationships and the Organic Holdings acquisition and to provide working capital. We also assumed certain liabilities in the acquisitions. In addition, we have recorded significant derivative liabilities associated with certain warrants issued with these new debt agreements, modified debt agreements and the issuance of shares of our common stock.

Our total indebtedness increased from $86,471 at December 31, 2015 to $91,512 at June 30, 2016. Substantially all of this increase in indebtedness resulted from new debt financings, partially offset by a reduction in our non-cash derivative liabilities, which decreased to $17,053 at June 30, 2016 from $33,091 at June 30, 2015.

The following is a discussion of debt financings completed to date in 2016. Please see Notes 6, 7 and 10 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report for expanded disclosure, including principal balances outstanding and terms of warrants issued in connection with the debt financings, and the number of common shares and terms of warrants issued in connection with the equity financings.

Cash Flows from Operating, Investing and Financing Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $12,982 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as a result of our net loss of $2,384, a non-cash gain of $14,063, increases in accounts receivable of $1,518, inventories of $952 and prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1,037 and a decrease in accounts payable of $3,515, partially offset by non-cash expenses totaling $7,929, a decrease in other assets of $97 and an increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $2,461.

By comparison, net cash provided by operating activities was $1,489 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as a result of our net loss of $22,048, a non-cash gain of $73, increases in accounts receivable of $2,441, prepaid expenses and other current assets of $594 and other assets of $76, and a decrease in checks written in excess of cash of $393, offset by non-cash expenses totaling $14,331, a decrease in inventories of $6,101, and increases in accounts payable of $5,995 and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $687.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $110, consisting of the purchase of property and equipment.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $7,418, consisting of cash paid in the Nutricap acquisition of $6,126 and the purchase of property and equipment of $1,662, partially offset by a change in restricted cash of $370.

Ongoing Funding Requirements

As set forth above, the Company obtained $23,224 in debt financing to date in 2016 to support operations. It is possible that we may need additional funding to enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues, we intend to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. There can be no assurance that any of those sources of funding will be available when needed on acceptable terms or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interests of existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of existing stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or relationships with third parties when needed or on acceptable terms, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts; abandon our business strategy of growth through acquisitions; or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. The amendments in this ASU revise the accounting related to lessee accounting. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases. The new lease guidance also simplifies the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and are to be applied through a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We have not yet determined the impact on our consolidated financial statements of the adoption of this new accounting pronouncement.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Stock Compensation (Topic 718)”, which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including the income tax impacts, the classification on the statement of cash flows, and forfeitures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods. We have not yet determined the impact on our consolidated financial statements of the adoption of this new accounting pronouncement.

Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB, which the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable, we do not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

On April 7, 2015, we entered into an operating lease agreement for premises in St. Petersburg, Florida. The term of the lease is for twelve years, commencing on May 1, 2015 and ending on April 30, 2027. We have options to extend the term of the lease for two additional periods of five years each and certain rights of first offer and rights of first refusal to lease additional space. The aggregate amount of annual base rent to be paid over the term of the lease is $4,466 for the initial premises (plus a proportionate share of annual operating expenses and taxes as set forth in the lease agreement).

Other than the operating lease agreement described above, the Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to the Company.

This item is not applicable as we are currently considered a smaller reporting company.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2016 pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2016, our management concluded that, as a result of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2016. 

In performing this evaluation, management identified certain deficiencies relating to information technology general controls (including access to programs and data, program changes, data backups), segregation of duties, review and approval, and verification procedures, primarily resulting from turnover of key management and the limited number of our accounting staff available to perform such procedures.

Based on its assessment, our management concluded that, as of June 30, 2016, the design of our system of internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to the deficiencies identified. However, management believes that the identified weaknesses have not affected our ability to present financial statements in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in this Form 10-Q. During the quarterly financial statement close we were able to recognize and adjust our financial records to properly present our financial statements and we were therefore able to present GAAP-compliant financial statements. Management does not believe that its weakness with respect to its procedures and controls have had a pervasive effect upon our financial reporting and the overall control environment due to our ability to make the necessary reconciling adjustments to our financial statements.

Management’s Remediation Initiatives

Management plans and has initiated actions to implement a number of initiatives to address the ineffective design of the system of internal control over financial reporting, including but not limited to the following:

Employ additional staff in our finance and accounting department to perform the required tasks to maintain an optimal segregation of duties, review and approval and verification procedures and provide optimal levels of oversight.

Work closely with independent internal control consultants to help improve the overall design of our system of internal control over financial reporting and promptly remediate any weaknesses that may arise during next year’s operations.

Continue to evaluate control procedures on an ongoing basis and, where possible, modify those control procedures to improve oversight.

Continue to engage independent consultants to assist accounting staff with processing transactions and preparing financial statements, especially related to complex transactions.

We believe that these additional resources will enable us to broaden the scope and quality of our controls relating to the oversight and review of financial statements and our application of relevant accounting policies. Furthermore, we plan to implement and improve systems to automate certain financial reporting processes and to improve information accuracy.

Management will continue the process of implementing our new system and reviewing existing controls, procedures and responsibilities to more closely identify financial reporting risks and the required controls to address them. Key control and compensating control procedures will be developed to ensure that weaknesses are properly addressed and related financial reporting risks are mitigated. Periodic control validation and testing will also be implemented to ensure that controls continue to operate consistently and as designed. Management plans to complete this remediation process as quickly as possible. Although we expect it will take at least a year, we cannot estimate how long it will take to remediate the material weakness in our system of internal control over financial reporting. In addition, the remediation steps we have taken, are taking and expect to take may not effectively remediate the material weakness, in which case our internal control over financial reporting would continue to be ineffective. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to complete our remedial actions successfully. Even if we are able to complete these actions successfully, these measures may not adequately address our material weakness and may take more than a year to complete. In addition, it is possible that we will discover additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting or that our existing material weakness will result in additional errors in or restatements of our financial statements. 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than discussed above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Dennis Frisco v. Organics Management, LLC d/b/a Reserveage, Reserve Life Organics, LLC d/b/a Reserveage, Wal-Staf Services, Inc., and Wal-Staf Temporary Services, Inc., Case No: 01-2014-CA-000308 Div. J, in the Circuit Court of the Eighth Judicial Circuit in and for Alachua County, Florida. The plaintiff in this matter was hired by a subsidiary of the Company, Organics Management, LLC, on a temporary basis through a third-party temporary staffing service to assist the Company with the hiring of sales people during a limited period of particularly high sales growth. As that period of unusual growth waned and services for hiring sales people were no longer necessary for the needs of the business, Organics Management ended plaintiff’s temporary staffing engagement. Plaintiff alleges that Organics Management (or one of its affiliates) in fact intended to hire him on a full-time basis and that their failure to do so was based on age and gender discrimination. The Company believes that plaintiff’s claims are without merit and is defending this case vigorously.

In re: Herbal Supplements Marketing and Sales Practice Litigation, MDL No. 2619, Case No. 1:15-cv-5070, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The Company is not a party to this matter, which joined in a multidistrict litigation a number of purported class actions arising from allegations raised by a state attorney general claiming that DNA barcoding testing conducted on behalf the attorney general indicated that certain herbal supplement products did not contain the herbal ingredients stated on the label. The Company does, however, pursuant to contractual obligations provide indemnity and defense with respect to certain of the claims in this litigation. The defendants in this litigation believe that the claims alleged by the plaintiffs are meritless and are defending this matter vigorously.

Amy Mathews v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and Wal-Mart Stores Arkansas LLC, Case No. CV-2015-0294, in the Circuit Court of Independence County, Arkansas, Civil Division. This purported class action alleges a violation of the Arkansas Deceptive Trade Practices Act based on the same allegations of the state attorney general that serve as the basis for the claims in the Herbal Supplements multidistrict litigation referenced above, and seeks certification of a class of Arkansas residents purportedly impacted by the allegations. The Company is not a party to this litigation but provides indemnity and defense with respect to certain of the claims in this litigation.

Risks and uncertainties that, if they were to occur, could materially adversely affect our business or cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this report and other public statements were set forth in the “Item 1A Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 14, 2016.

Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial conditions and/or operating results.
