Youngevity International, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
September 30, 2017
Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Description of
Business
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim
financial information. Accordingly, 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.
The statements presented as of September 30, 2017 and for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 are unaudited. In
the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all
normal recurring and other adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation, and to make the financial statements not misleading.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
included in the Company’s Form 10-K/A for the year ended
December 31, 2016. The results for interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the entire
year.
Youngevity
International, Inc. (the “Company”) consolidates all
wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform to the current
year presentations including the Company’s adoption of
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-17 pertaining
to the presentation of deferred tax assets
and liabilities as noncurrent with retrospective application effective January
1, 2017. This resulted in a reclassification from deferred tax
assets, net current to deferred tax assets, net
long-term. These
reclassifications did not affect revenue, total costs and expenses,
income (loss) from operations, or net income (loss).
The adoption of ASU No. 2015-17
resulted in a reclassification of deferred tax assets, net current
of $565,000 to deferred tax assets,
net long-term on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December
31, 2016.
As
previously reported on the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the
year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on August 14, 2017, the Company restated the interim
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the quarter ended
September 30, 2016 previously filed by the Company in its quarterly
report on Form 10-Q for the same period. This was due to an error
in the presentation of cash flow activity under the Company’s
factoring facility. This quarterly report for the quarter ended
September 30, 2017 reflects the restated numbers for the nine
months ended September 30, 2016.
Nature of Business
The Company, founded in 1996, develops and distributes health and
nutrition related products through its global independent direct
selling network, also known as multi-level marketing, and sells
coffee products to commercial customers. The Company
operates in two business segments, its direct selling segment where
products are offered through a global distribution network of
preferred customers and distributors and its commercial coffee
segment where products are sold directly to businesses. In the
following text, the terms “we,” “our,” and
“us” may refer, as the context requires, to the Company
or collectively to the Company and its subsidiaries.
The Company operates through the following domestic wholly-owned
subsidiaries: AL Global Corporation, which operates its direct
selling networks, CLR Roasters, LLC (“CLR”), its
commercial coffee business, 2400 Boswell LLC, MK Collaborative LLC,
Youngevity Global LLC and the wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries
Youngevity Australia Pty. Ltd., Youngevity NZ, Ltd., Siles
Plantation Family Group S.A. (“Siles”), located in
Nicaragua, Youngevity Mexico S.A. de CV, Youngevity Israel, Ltd.,
Youngevity Russia, LLC, Youngevity Colombia S.A.S, Youngevity
International Singapore Pte. Ltd., Mialisia Canada, Inc., Legacy
for Life Limited (Hong Kong). The Company also operates through the
BellaVita Group LLC, with operations in; Taiwan, Hong Kong,
Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and Japan.
The Company also operates subsidiary branches of Youngevity Global
LLC in the Philippines and Taiwan.
Reverse Stock Split
On June 5, 2017, the Company filed a certificate to amend its
Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse split on a
one-for-twenty basis (the “Reverse Split”), whereby,
every twenty shares of the Company’s common stock, par value
$0.001 per share (the “Common Stock or “common
stock”), were exchanged for one share of its common stock.
The Reverse Split became effective on June 7, 2017. All common
stock share and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect
retrospective application of the Reverse Split, unless otherwise
indicated. The Common Stock began trading on a reverse split basis
at the market opening on June 8, 2017.
-5-
NASDAQ Listing
Effective June 21, 2017, the Common Stock began trading on the
NASDAQ Stock Market LLC’s NASDAQ Capital Market, under the
symbol “YGYI”. Prior to the Company’s uplisting
to NASDAQ, the Company’s common stock had been traded on the
OTCQX market.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(“GAAP”) requires the Company 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
revenue and expense for each reporting period. Estimates are
used in accounting for, among other things, allowances for doubtful
accounts, deferred taxes, and related valuation allowances,
fair value of derivative liabilities, uncertain tax positions, loss
contingencies, fair value of options granted under our stock based
compensation plan, fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in
business combinations, capital leases, asset impairments, estimates
of future cash flows used to evaluate impairments, useful lives of
property, equipment and intangible assets, value of contingent
acquisition debt, inventory obsolescence, and sales
returns.
Actual results may differ from previously estimated amounts and
such differences may be material to the condensed consolidated
financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed
periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected
prospectively in the period they occur.
Liquidity
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared and presented on a basis assuming the Company will
continue as a going concern. The Company has sustained significant
operating losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of
$4,893,000, compared to operating income in the prior year of
$3,263,000. The losses in the current year were primarily due to
lower than anticipated revenues, increases in legal fees,
distributor events and sales and marketing costs. Net cash used in
operating activities was $1,783,000 in the current year. Based on
its current cash levels and its current rate of cash requirements,
the Company will need to raise additional capital and will need to
significantly reduce its expenses from current levels to be able to
continue as a going concern.
The
Company has already commenced the process to increase its Crestmark
line of credit during the fourth quarter of this year and the
Company is considering multiple alternatives, including, but not
limited to, additional equity financings and debt financings.
Depending on market conditions, we cannot be sure that additional
capital will be available when needed or that, if available, it
will be obtained on terms favorable to us or to our
stockholders.
The
Company believes that legal fees will decrease in the future from
the levels spent in the current year. Furthermore, the Company
expects to get reimbursements from its insurance company for legal
fees already incurred. The Company expects costs related to
distributor events will decrease next year from current year levels
as its costs in the current year were unusually high due to the
twentieth anniversary convention held in Dallas in August and
one-time events held at the beginning of the year to stabilize the
sales force due to the departure of the previous president and
high-level sales management and distributors. The Company
anticipates revenues to start growing again and it intends to make
necessary cost reductions related to international programs that
are not performing and also reduce non-essential
expenses.
Failure
to raise additional funds from the issuance of equity securities
and failure to implement cost reductions could adversely affect the
Company’s ability to operate as a going concern. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be
necessary from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers only its monetary liquid assets with original
maturities of three months or less as cash and cash
equivalents.
Earnings Per Share
Basic
earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss)
attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number
of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings
per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common
stockholders by the sum of the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding during the period and the weighted-average
number of dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the
period, using the treasury stock method. Dilutive common share
equivalents are comprised of in-the-money stock options, warrants
and convertible preferred stock and common stock associated with
the Company's convertible notes based on the average stock price
for each period using the treasury stock
method.
-6-
Since the Company incurred a loss for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2017, 7,506,283 common share equivalents were
not included in the weighted-average calculations since their
effect would have been anti-dilutive.
The
incremental dilutive common share equivalents for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2016 were 392,720 and 374,563,
respectively.
Income and loss per share amounts and weighted average shares
outstanding for all periods have been retroactively adjusted to
reflect the Company’s 1-for-20 Reverse Split, which was
effective June 7, 2017.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance
with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock
Compensation,” which
establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for
employee services. Under such provisions, stock based compensation
cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair
value of the award, and is recognized as an expense, under the
straight-line method, over the vesting period of the equity
grant.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees
in accordance with authoritative guidance for equity based payments
to non-employees. Stock options issued to non-employees are
accounted for at their estimated fair value, determined using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of options
granted to non-employees is re-measured as they vest, and the
resulting increase in value, if any, is recognized as expense
during the period the related services are rendered.
Factoring Agreement
The Company has a factoring agreement (“Factoring
Agreement”) with Crestmark Bank (“Crestmark”)
related to the Company’s accounts receivable resulting from
sales of certain products within its commercial coffee segment.
Effective May 1, 2016, the Company entered into a third amendment
to the factoring agreement (“Agreement”). Under the
terms of the Agreement, all new receivables assigned to Crestmark
shall be “Client Risk Receivables” and no further
credit approvals will be provided by Crestmark. Additionally, the
Agreement expands the factoring facility to include advanced
borrowings against eligible inventory up to 50% of landed cost of
finished goods inventory that meet certain criteria, not to exceed
the lesser of $1,000,000 or 85% of the value of the accounts
receivables already advanced with a maximum overall borrowing of
$3,000,000. Interest accrues on the outstanding balance and a
factoring commission is charged for each invoice factored which is
calculated as the greater of $5.00 or 0.75% to 0.875% of the gross
invoice amount and is recorded as interest expense. In addition,
the Company and the Company’s CEO, Mr. Wallach have entered
into a Guaranty and Security Agreement with Crestmark Bank
guaranteeing payments in the event that CLR were to default. This
Agreement is effective until February 1, 2019.
The Company accounts for the sale of receivables under the
Factoring Agreement as secured borrowings with a pledge of the
subject inventories and receivables as well as all bank deposits as
collateral, in accordance with the authoritative guidance for
accounting for transfers and servicing of financial assets and
extinguishments of liabilities. The caption “Accounts
receivable, due from factoring company” on the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheets in the amount of
approximately $3,088,000 and $1,078,000 as of September 30,
2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, reflects the related
collateralized accounts.
The Company's outstanding liability related to the Factoring
Agreement was approximately $3,014,000 and $1,290,000 as of
September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and is
included in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated
balance sheets.
Plantation Costs
The Company’s commercial coffee segment CLR includes the
results of the Siles Plantation Family Group (“Siles”),
which is a 500 acre coffee plantation and a dry-processing facility
located on 26 acres both located in Matagalpa, Nicaragua. Siles is
a wholly-owned subsidiary of CLR, and the results of
CLR include the depreciation and amortization of capitalized
costs, development and maintenance and harvesting costs of
Siles. In accordance with US generally accepted accounting
principles (“GAAP”), plantation maintenance and
harvesting costs for commercially producing coffee farms are
charged against earnings when sold. Deferred harvest costs
accumulate throughout the year, and are expensed over the remainder
of the year as the coffee is sold. The difference between actual
harvest costs incurred and the amount of harvest costs recognized
as expense is recorded as either an increase or decrease in
deferred harvest costs, which is reported as an asset and included
with prepaid expenses and other current assets in the condensed
consolidated balance sheets. Once the harvest is complete, the
harvest cost is then recognized as the inventory
value.
As of December 31, 2016, the inventory related to the 2016 harvest
was $112,000. As of September 30, 2017, all previously harvested
coffee from the 2016 harvest had been sold.
In April 2017, the Company completed the 2017 harvest in Nicaragua
and approximately $552,000 of deferred harvest costs were
reclassified as inventory during the quarter ended June 30, 2017.
The remaining inventory as of September 30, 2017 is
$361,000.
-7-
Costs associated with the 2018 harvest as of September 30, 2017
total approximately $200,000 and are included in prepaid expenses
and other current assets as deferred harvest costs on the
Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Related Party Transactions
Richard Renton
Richard Renton is a member of the Board of Directors and owns and
operates with his wife Roxanna Renton, Northwest Nutraceuticals,
Inc., a supplier of certain inventory items sold by the Company.
The Company made purchases of approximately $61,000 and $33,000
from Northwest Nutraceuticals Inc., for the three months ended
September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $142,000 and $83,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,
respectively. In addition, Mr. Renton and his wife are distributors
of the Company and can earn commissions on product
sales.
Other Relationship Transactions
Hernandez, Hernandez, Export Y Company
The Company’s coffee segment, CLR, is associated with
Hernandez, Hernandez, Export Y Company (“H&H”), a
Nicaragua company, through sourcing arrangements to procure
Nicaraguan green coffee beans and in March 2014 as part of the
Siles acquisition, CLR engaged the owners of H&H as employees
to manage Siles. The Company made purchases of approximately
$3,533,000 and $2,700,000 from this supplier for the three months
ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and $8,707,000 and
$7,400,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,
respectively.
In addition, CLR sold approximately $2,387,000 and $0 for the three
months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and
$3,934,000 and $2,200,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
2017 and 2016, respectively, of green coffee beans to H&H
Coffee Group Export, a Florida based company which is affiliated
with H&H.
In March 2017, the Company entered a settlement agreement and
release with H&H Coffee Group Export pursuant to which it was
agreed that $150,000 owed to H&H Coffee Group Export for
services that had been rendered would be settled by the issuance of
Common Stock. In May 2017, the Company issued to H&H Coffee
Group Export 27,500 shares of Common Stock in accordance with this
agreement.
In
May 2017, the Company entered a settlement agreement with Alain
Piedra Hernandez, one of the owners of H&H and the operating
manager of Siles, who was issued a non-qualified stock option for
the purchase of 75,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock
at a price of $2.00 with an expiration date of three years, in lieu
of an obligation due from the Company to H&H as relates to a
Sourcing and Supply Agreement with H&H. During the three months
ended September 30, 2017 the Company replaced the non-qualified
stock option and issued a warrant agreement with the same terms.
There was no financial impact related to the cancellation of the
option and the issuance of the warrant. As of September 30, 2017
the warrant remains outstanding.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when the
following four criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been
rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and
collectability is reasonably assured. The Company ships the
majority of its direct selling segment products directly to the
distributors primarily via UPS, USPS or FedEx and receives
substantially all payments for these sales in the form of credit
card transactions. The Company regularly monitors its use of credit
card or merchant services to ensure that its financial risk related
to credit quality and credit concentrations is actively managed.
Revenue is recognized upon passage of title and risk of loss to
customers when product is shipped from the fulfillment facility.
The Company ships the majority of its coffee segment products via
common carrier and invoices its customer for the products. Revenue
is recognized when the title and risk of loss is passed to the
customer under the terms of the shipping arrangement, typically,
FOB shipping point.
Sales revenue and a reserve for estimated returns are recorded net
of sales tax when product is shipped.
Deferred Revenues and Costs
Deferred revenues relate primarily to the Heritage Makers product
line and represent the Company’s obligation for points
purchased by customers that have not yet been redeemed for product.
Cash received for points sold is recorded as deferred revenue.
Revenue is recognized when customers redeem the points and the
product is shipped. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016,
the balance in deferred revenues was approximately $1,999,000 and
$1,870,000 respectively, of which the portion attributable to
Heritage Makers was approximately $1,800,000 and $1,662,000,
respectively. The remaining balance of approximately
$199,000 and $208,000 as of September 30, 2017 and December
31, 2016, related primarily to the Company’s 2018 and 2017
conventions, respectively, whereby attendees pre-enroll in the
events and the Company does not recognize this revenue until the
conventions occur.
-8-
Deferred costs relate to Heritage Makers prepaid commissions that
are recognized in expense at the time the related revenue is
recognized. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the
balance in deferred costs was approximately $414,000 and $415,000
respectively, and was included in prepaid expenses and current
assets.
Commitments and Contingencies
We are, from time to time, the subject of claims and suits arising
out of matters occurring during the operation of our business. We
are not presently party to any legal proceedings that, if
determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together
have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results,
financial condition or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome,
current legal proceedings are having an adverse impact on us
because of litigation costs, diversion of management resources and
other factors.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In
January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update
(“ASU”) No. 2017-04, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic
350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU
simplifies the test for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 from
the goodwill impairment test. Companies will now perform the
goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting
unit with its carrying amount, recognizing an impairment charge for
the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting
unit’s fair value not to exceed the total amount of goodwill
allocated to that reporting unit. An entity still has the option to
perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to
determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The
amendments in this update are effective for goodwill impairment
tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early
adoption permitted for goodwill impairment tests performed after
January 1, 2017. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of
this adoption on its consolidated financial
statements.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-17, Consolidation
(Topic 810): Interests Held through
Related Parties That Are under Common Control. This standard amends
the guidance issued with ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810):
Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis in order to make it less
likely that a single decision maker would individually meet the
characteristics to be the primary beneficiary of a Variable
Interest Entity ("VIE"). When a decision maker or service provider
considers indirect interests held through related parties under
common control, they perform two steps. The second step was amended
with this ASU to say that the decision maker should consider
interests held by these related parties on a proportionate basis
when determining the primary beneficiary of the VIE rather than in
their entirety as was called for in the previous guidance. This ASU
was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016,
and early adoption was not permitted. The Company adopted ASU
2016-17 effective the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The adoption of
ASU 2016-17 did not have a significant impact on its consolidated
financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard requires lessees to
recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet
and requires expanded disclosures about leasing arrangements. The
Company expects to adopt the standard no later than January 1,
2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the new
standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements, which will consist primarily of a balance sheet gross
up of our operating leases. The Company has not evaluated the
impact that this new standard will have on its consolidated
financial statements; however, it is expected to gross-up the
consolidated balance sheet as a result of recognizing a lease asset
along with a similar lease liability.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes
(Topic 740): Balance Sheet
Classification of Deferred Taxes. This guidance requires that
entities with a classified statement of financial position present
all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. This update
is effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2016, which required the Company to
adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Early
adoption was permitted for financial statements that have not been
previously issued and may be applied on either a prospective or
retrospective basis. The Company adopted ASU 2015-17
effective the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The adoption of ASU
2015-17 did not have a significant impact on its consolidated
financial statements other than
the netting of current and long-term deferred tax assets and
liabilities in the non-current section of the balance sheet and
footnote disclosures.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the
Measurement of Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement
of Inventory.” The amendments in ASU 2015-11
require an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost or
market. Market could be replacement cost, net realizable value, or
net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin.
The amendments do not apply to inventory that is measured using
last-in, first out (LIFO) or the retail inventory
method. The amendments apply to all other inventory,
which includes inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out
(FIFO) or average cost. The amendments should be applied
prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the
beginning of an interim or annual reporting
period. Management is currently assessing the effect
that ASU 2015-11 will have on the Company’s condensed
consolidated financial statements and related
disclosures. Included in management’s assessment
is the determination of an effective adoption date and transition
method for adoption. The Company expects to complete the
initial assessment process, including the selection of an effective
adoption date and transition method for adoption, by December 31,
2017.
In May
2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic
606). The new revenue recognition standard provides a
five-step analysis of contracts to determine when and how revenue
is recognized. The core principle is that a company should
recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or
services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration
to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those
goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective
date of ASU No. 2014-09 for all entities by one year to annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The FASB has
issued several updates subsequently including implementation
guidance on principal versus agent considerations, on how an entity
should account for licensing arrangements with customers, and to
improve guidance on assessing collectability, presentation of sales
taxes, noncash consideration, and contract modifications and
completed contracts at transition. The amendments in this series of
updates shall be applied either retrospectively to each period
presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of
adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company continues to
assess the impact of this ASU, and related subsequent updates, will
have on its consolidated financial statements. As of September 30,
2017, the Company is in the process of reviewing the guidance to
identify how this ASU will apply to the Company’s revenue
reporting process. The final impact of this ASU on the
Company’s financial statements will not be known until the
assessment is complete. The Company will update its disclosure in
future periods as the analysis is completed.
-9-
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 regarding ASC topic
No. 205, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern. The
standard requires all companies to evaluate if conditions or events
raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue
as a going concern and requires different disclosure of items that
raise substantial doubt that are, or are not, alleviated as a
result of consideration of management’s plans. The new
guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15,
2016. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-15
did not have a significant impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
Note
2. Income
Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC
Topic 740, “Income Taxes,”
under the asset and liability method
which includes the recognition of deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that
have been included in the condensed consolidated financial
statements. Under this approach, deferred taxes are recorded for
the future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid. The
provision for income taxes represents income taxes paid or payable
for the current year plus the change in deferred taxes during the
year. Deferred taxes result from differences between the financial
statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities, and are adjusted
for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted. The
effects of future changes in income tax laws or rates are not
anticipated.
Income taxes for the interim periods are computed using the
effective tax rates estimated to be applicable for the full fiscal
year, as adjusted for any discrete taxable events that occur during
the period.
The Company files income tax returns in the United States
(“U.S.”) on a federal basis and in many U.S. state and
foreign jurisdictions. Certain tax years remain open to examination
by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is
subject.
Note
3. Inventory and
Costs of Revenues
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is
determined using the first-in, first-out method. The Company
records an inventory reserve for estimated excess and obsolete
inventory based upon historical turnover, market conditions and
assumptions about future demand for its products. When applicable,
expiration dates of certain inventory items with a definite life
are taken into consideration.
Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

handling costs, royalties associated with certain products,
transaction banking costs, warehouse labor costs and depreciation
on certain assets.
Note 4. Acquisitions and Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations under the
acquisition method and allocates the total purchase price for
acquired businesses to the tangible and identified intangible
assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated
fair values. When a business combination includes the exchange of
the Company’s Common Stock, the value of the Common Stock is
determined using the closing market price as of the date such
shares were tendered to the selling parties. The fair values
assigned to tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and
liabilities assumed are based on management or third-party
estimates and assumptions that utilize established valuation
techniques appropriate for the Company’s industry and each
acquired business. Goodwill is recorded as the excess, if any, of
the aggregate fair value of consideration exchanged for an acquired
business over the fair value (measured as of the acquisition date)
of total net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired. A
liability for contingent consideration, if applicable, is recorded
at fair value as of the acquisition date. In determining the fair
value of such contingent consideration, management estimates the
amount to be paid based on probable outcomes and expectations on
financial performance of the related acquired business. The fair
value of contingent consideration is reassessed quarterly, with any
change in the estimated value charged to operations in the period
of the change. Increases or decreases in the fair value of the
contingent consideration obligations can result from changes in
actual or estimated revenue streams, discount periods, discount
rates and probabilities that contingencies will be
met.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company
entered into three acquisitions, which are detailed below. The
acquisitions were conducted in an effort to expand the
Company’s distributor network, enhance and expand its product
portfolio, and diversify its product mix. As such, the major
purpose for all of the business combinations was to increase
revenue and profitability. The acquisitions were structured as
asset purchases which resulted in the recognition of certain
intangible assets.
-10-
Sorvana International, LLC
Effective July 1, 2017, the Company acquired certain assets and
assumed certain liabilities of Sorvana International, LLC
“Sorvana”. Sorvana was the result of the unification of
the two companies FreeLife International, Inc.
“FreeLife”, and L’dara. Sorvana offers a variety
of products with the addition of the FreeLife and L’dara
product lines. Sorvana offers an extensive line of health and
wellness product solutions including healthy weight loss
supplements, energy and performance products and skin care product
lines as well as organic product options. As a result of this
business combination, the Company’s distributors and
customers will have access to Sorvana’s unique line of
products and Sorvana’s distributors and clients will gain
access to products offered by the Company.
The contingent consideration’s estimated fair value at the
date of acquisition was $3,487,000 as determined by management
using a discounted cash flow methodology. The acquisition related
costs, such as legal costs and other professional fees were minimal
and expensed as incurred. In addition, the Company has assumed
certain liabilities in accordance with the agreement.
The
Company is obligated to make monthly payments based on a percentage
of the Sorvana distributor revenue derived from sales of the
Company’s products and a percentage of royalty revenue
derived from sales of Sorvana’s products until the earlier of
the date that is twelve (12) years from the closing date or such
time as the Company has paid to Sorvana aggregate cash payments of
the Sorvana distributor revenue and royalty revenue equal to a
predetermined maximum aggregate purchase
price.
The assets acquired were recorded at estimated fair values as of
the date of the acquisition. The fair values of the acquired assets
have not been finalized pending further information that may impact
the valuation of certain assets or liabilities. The preliminary
purchase price allocation is as follows (in
thousands):

Total
purchase price
|
$3,487
|
The preliminary fair value of intangible assets acquired was
determined through the use of a discounted cash flow methodology.
The trademarks and trade name, customer-related intangible and
distributor organization intangible are being amortized over their
estimated useful life of ten (10) years using the straight-line
method which is believed to approximate the time-line within which
the economic benefit of the underlying intangible asset will be
realized.
The Company expects to finalize the valuations within one (1) year
from the acquisition date.
The revenue impact from the Sorvana acquisition, included in the
condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2017 was approximately
$2,082,000.
The pro-forma effect assuming the business combination with Sorvana
discussed above had occurred at the beginning of the year is not
presented as the information was not available.
BellaVita Group, LLC
Effective
March 1, 2017, the Company acquired certain assets of BellaVita
Group, LLC “BellaVita” a direct sales company and
producer of health and beauty products with locations and customers
primarily in the Asian market.
The contingent consideration’s estimated fair value at the
date of acquisition was $1,750,000 as determined by management
using a discounted cash flow methodology. The acquisition related
costs, such as legal costs and other professional fees were minimal
and expensed as incurred. In addition, the Company has assumed
certain liabilities in accordance with the agreement.
During the three months ended September 30, 2017 the Company
determined that the initial estimated fair value of the acquisition
should be reduced by $15,000 from $1,750,000 to
$1,735,000.
The Company is obligated to make monthly payments based on a
percentage of the BellaVita distributor revenue derived from sales
of the Company’s products and a percentage of royalty revenue
derived from sales of BellaVita products until the earlier of the
date that is twelve (12) years from the closing date or such time
as the Company has paid to BellaVita aggregate cash payments of the
BellaVita distributor revenue and royalty revenue equal to a
predetermined maximum aggregate purchase price.

The Company is obligated to make monthly payments based on a
percentage of the Ricolife distributor revenue derived from sales
of the Company’s products and a percentage of royalty revenue
derived from sales of Ricolife products until the earlier of the
date that is twelve (12) years from the closing date or such time
as the Company has paid to Ricolife aggregate cash payments of the
Ricolife distributor revenue and royalty revenue equal to a
predetermined maximum aggregate purchase price.

Note 5. Intangible Assets and Goodwill
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are comprised of distributor organizations,
trademarks and tradenames, customer relationships and internally
developed software. The Company's acquired intangible
assets, which are subject to amortization over their estimated
useful lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
intangible asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is
recognized when the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds
its fair value.
Intangible assets consist of the following (in
thousands):

Amortization expense related to intangible assets was approximately
$712,000 and $537,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017
and 2016, respectively. Amortization expense related to intangible
assets was approximately $2,047,000 and $1,746,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,
respectively.
Trade names, which do not have legal, regulatory, contractual,
competitive, economic, or other factors that limit the useful lives
are considered indefinite lived assets and are not amortized but
are tested for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these
assets may not be recoverable. Approximately $2,267,000 in
trademarks from business combinations have been identified as
having indefinite lives.
Goodwill
Goodwill is recorded as the excess, if any, of the aggregate fair
value of consideration exchanged for an acquired business over the
fair value (measured as of the acquisition date) of total net
tangible and identified intangible assets acquired. In accordance
with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC
Topic 350, “Intangibles —
Goodwill and Other”, goodwill and other intangible assets with
indefinite lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment on
an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be
recoverable. The Company conducts annual reviews for goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangible assets in the fourth quarter or
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully
recoverable.
The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether
it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that
goodwill is impaired. After considering the totality of events and
circumstances, the Company determines whether it is more likely
than not that goodwill is not impaired. If impairment is
indicated, then the Company conducts the two-step impairment
testing process. The first step compares the Company’s fair
value to its net book value. If the fair value is less than the net
book value, the second step of the test compares the implied fair
value of the Company’s goodwill to its carrying amount. If
the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, the
Company would recognize an impairment loss equal to that excess
amount. The testing is generally performed at the “reporting
unit” level. A reporting unit is the operating segment, or a
business one level below that operating segment (referred to as a
component) if discrete financial information is prepared and
regularly reviewed by management at the component level. The
Company has determined that its reporting units for goodwill
impairment testing are the Company’s reportable segments. As
such, the Company analyzed its goodwill balances separately for the
commercial coffee reporting unit and the direct selling reporting
unit. The goodwill balance as of September 30, 2017 and December
31, 2016 was $6,323,000. There were no triggering events indicating
impairment of goodwill or intangible assets during the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

aggregate debt discount of approximately $2,565,000, resulting from
the allocated portion of issuance costs to the 2017 Notes and to
the allocation of offering proceeds to the separable warrant
liabilities, and to the bifurcated embedded conversion option. See
Notes 7 & 8 below.
The Company recorded $1,931,000 of debt discounts which included an
embedded conversion feature of $330,000 and $1,601,000 related to
the detachable warrants. The embedded conversion feature discount
and the detachable warrants discount are amortized to interest
expense over the life of the Notes. During the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2017 the Company recorded $107,000 of
amortization related to the debt discounts. The quarterly
amortization of the debt discounts is approximately $160,000. As of
September 30, 2017 the remaining balance of the unamortized debt
discount is approximately $1,824,000
With respect to the aggregate offering, the Company paid $634,000
in issuance costs. The issuance costs are amortized to interest
expense over the term of the Notes. During the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2017 the Company recorded $36,000
amortization related to the issuance costs. The quarterly
amortization of the issuance costs is approximately $53,000 and is
recorded as interest expense. As of September 30, 2017 the
remaining balance of the unamortized issuance cost is approximately
$599,000.
In connection with the 2017 Private Placement, the Company also
entered into the “Registration Rights Agreement” with
the investors in the 2017 Private Placement. The Registration
Rights Agreement requires that we file a registration statement
(the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and
Exchange Commission within ninety (90) days of the final closing
date of the Private Placement for the resale by the investors of
all of the shares Common Stock underlying the senior convertible
notes and warrants and all shares of Common Stock issuable upon any
stock split, dividend or other distribution, recapitalization or
similar event with respect thereto (the “Registrable
Securities”) and that the Initial Registration Statement be
declared effective by the SEC within 180 days of the final closing
date of the 2017 Private Placement or if the registration statement
is reviewed by the SEC 210 days after the final closing date or the
2017 Private Placement. Upon the occurrence of certain events (each
an “Event”), the Company will be required to pay to the
investors liquidated damages of 1.0% of their respective aggregate
purchase price upon the date of the Event and then monthly
thereafter until the Event is cured. In no event may the aggregate
amount of liquidated damages payable to each of the investors
exceed in the aggregate 10% of the aggregate purchase price paid by
such investor for the Registrable Securities. The Registration
Statement was declared effective on September 27,
2017.

Note 7. Derivative Liability
The Company recognizes and measures the warrants and the
embedded conversion features issued in conjunction with our July
2017, November 2015, and July 2014 Private Placements in accordance
with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and
Hedging. The accounting
guidance sets forth a two-step model to be applied in determining
whether a financial instrument is indexed to an entity’s own
stock, which would qualify such financial instruments for a scope
exception. This scope exception specifies that a contract that
would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative financial
instrument would not be considered as such if the contract is both
(i) indexed to the entity’s own stock and
(ii) classified in the stockholders’ equity section of
the entity’s balance sheet. The Company determined
that certain warrants and embedded conversion features issued in
our private placements are ineligible for equity classification due
to anti-dilution provisions set forth therein.
Derivative liabilities are recorded at their estimated fair value
(see Note 8, below) at the issuance date and are revalued at each
subsequent reporting date. The Company will continue to revalue the
derivative liability on each subsequent balance sheet date until
the securities to which the derivative liabilities relate are
exercised or expire.
Various factors are considered in the pricing models the Company
uses to value the derivative liabilities, including its current
stock price, the remaining life, the volatility of its stock price,
and the risk free interest rate. Future changes in these factors
may have a significant impact on the computed fair value of the
liability. As such, the Company expects future changes in the fair
values to continue and may vary significantly from period to
period. The warrant and embedded liability and revaluations
have not had a cash impact on our working capital, liquidity or
business operations.
Warrants
In July and August of 2017, the Company issued 1,149,712 three-year
warrants to investors and the placement agent in the 2017 Private
Placement. The exercise price of the warrants is protected against
down-round financing throughout the term of the warrant. Pursuant
to ASC Topic 815, the fair value of the warrants of approximately
$2,334,000 was recorded as a derivative liability on the issuance
dates. The estimated fair values of the warrants were
computed at issuance using a Monte Carlo option pricing model, with
the following assumptions: stock price volatility 63.32%, risk-free
rate 1.51%, annual dividend yield 0% and expected life 3.0
years.
Increases
or decreases in fair value of the derivative liability are included
as a component of total other expense in the accompanying
condensed consolidated statements of operations for the
respective period. The changes to the derivative liability for
warrants resulted in a decrease to the liability of approximately
$1,519,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared
to decrease in the liability of approximately $369,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2016. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2017 the liability decreased by approximately
$788,000 compared to a decrease of approximately $535,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
The estimated fair value of the outstanding warrant liabilities was
$4,128,000 and $3,345,000 as of September 30, 2017 and
December 31, 2016,
respectively.
The Company did not revalue the warrants associated with the July
2017 Private Placement as of September 30, 2017 as the change in
the fair value would be insignificant.
The estimated fair value of the warrants were computed as
of September 30, 2017 and as of December 31, 2016 using
Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo option pricing models, using the
following assumptions:

Embedded Conversion Derivatives
Upon
issuance of the 2017 Notes, the Company recorded a derivative for
the embedded conversion option. The Company estimated the fair
value of the embedded conversion option, as of the issuance date
using a Monte Carlo simulation. The analysis utilized in
calculating the embedded derivative upon issuance was calculated
using the following assumptions:

price
|
$4.63
|

price volatility
|
63.32%
|
Risk-free
interest rate
|

|
The fair value estimate of the embedded conversion option is a
Level 3 measurement. The roll-forward of the Level 3 fair value
measurement, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, is as
follows (in thousands):

|

|
The Company did not revalue the embedded conversion liability
associated with the July 2017 Private Placement as of September 30,
2017 as the change in the fair value would be
insignificant.
Note 8. Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
Fair value measurements are performed in accordance with the
guidance provided by ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures.” ASC
Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received
from selling an asset, or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market
prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters.
Where observable prices or parameters are not available, valuation
models are applied.
ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an
entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the
use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Assets and
liabilities recorded at fair value in the financial statements are
categorized based upon the hierarchy of levels of judgment
associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value.
Hierarchical levels directly related to the amount of subjectivity
associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and
liabilities, are as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to
access.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included
in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and
liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or
similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or
other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by
observable market data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supportable by little
or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of
the asset or liability.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments,
including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
payable and accrued liabilities, capital lease obligations and
deferred revenue approximate their fair values based on their
short-term nature. The carrying amount of the Company’s long
term notes payable approximates its fair value based on interest
rates available to the Company for similar debt instruments and
similar remaining maturities.
The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration related to
the Company's business combinations is recorded using significant
unobservable measures and other fair value inputs and is therefore
classified as a Level 3 financial instrument.
In
connection with the Company’s Private Placements, the Company
issued warrants to purchase shares of its Common Stock and recorded
embedded conversion features which are accounted for as derivative
liabilities (see Note 7 above.) The estimated fair value of the
derivatives is recorded using significant unobservable measures and
other fair value inputs and is therefore classified as a Level 3
financial instrument.

The fair value of the contingent acquisition liabilities are
evaluated each reporting period using projected revenues, discount
rates, and projected timing of revenues. Projected contingent
payment amounts are discounted back to the current period using a
discount rate. Projected revenues are based on the Company’s
most recent internal operational budgets and long-range strategic
plans. Increases in projected revenues will result in higher fair
value measurements. Increases in discount rates and the time to
payment will result in lower fair value measurements. Increases
(decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation may result in a
significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. During the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 the net adjustment
to the fair value of the contingent acquisition debt was a decrease
of $340,000 and $1,020,000, respectively. During the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2016 the net adjustment to the fair
value of the contingent acquisition debt was a decrease of $315,000
and a decrease of $1,185,000, respectively.
Note 9. Stockholders’ Equity
The Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended,
authorize the issuance of two classes of stock to be designated
“Common Stock” and “Preferred
Stock”.
Common Stock
On May 31, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a
reverse stock split in order to meet certain criteria in
preparation for the Company’s uplisting on the NASDAQ Capital
Market.
On June 5, 2017, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to
the Company’s Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware to effect a one-for-twenty reverse
stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common
stock. As a result of the Reverse Split, every twenty shares of the
Company issued and outstanding common stock were automatically
combined and reclassified into one share of the Company’s
common stock. The Reverse Split affected all issued and outstanding
shares of common stock, as well as common stock underlying stock
options, warrants outstanding, including common stock equivalents
issuable under convertible notes and preferred shares. No
fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Split.
Stockholders who would otherwise hold a fractional share of common
stock will receive cash payment for the fractional
share.
-21-
The Reverse Split became effective on June 7, 2017. All disclosures
of shares and per share data in these condensed consolidated
financial statements and related notes have been retroactively
adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split for all periods
presented.
The total number of authorized shares
of common stock was reduced from 600,000,000 to 50,000,000.
The total number of shares of stock which the Company has authority
to issue is 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per
share and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per
share, of which 161,135 shares have been designated as Series A
convertible preferred stock, par value $.001 per share
(“Series A Convertible
Preferred”).
As of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016 there were
19,723,285 and 19,634,345 shares of Common Stock outstanding,
respectively. The holders of the Common Stock are entitled
to one vote for each share held at all meetings of stockholders
(and written actions in lieu of meetings).
Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company had 161,135 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016,
and accrued dividends of approximately $121,000 and $112,000,
respectively. The holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock are entitled to receive a cumulative dividend at a rate of
8.0% per year, payable annually either in cash or shares of the
Company's Common Stock at the Company's election. Shares
of Common Stock paid as accrued dividends are valued at $10.00 per
share. Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred is
convertible into two shares of the Company's Common Stock. The
holders of Series A Convertible Preferred are entitled to receive
payments upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company
before any amount is paid to the holders of Common Stock. The
holders of Series A Convertible Preferred have no voting rights,
except as required by law.
Repurchase of Common Stock
On December 11, 2012, the Company authorized a share repurchase
program to repurchase up to 750,000 of the Company's issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock from time to time on the open
market or via private transactions through block
trades. A total of 196,594 shares have been repurchased
to-date as of September 30, 2017 at a weighted-average cost of
$5.30. There were no repurchases during the nine months ended
September 30, 2017. The remaining number of shares authorized for
repurchase under the plan as of September 30, 2017 is
553,406.
Advisory Agreements
ProActive Capital Resources Group, LLC. On September 1,
2015, the Company entered into an agreement with ProActive
Capital Resources
Group, LLC (“PCG”), pursuant to which PCG agreed
to provide investor relations services for six (6) months in
exchange for fees paid in cash of $6,000 per month and 5,000 shares
of restricted common stock to be issued upon successfully meeting
certain criteria in accordance with the agreement. Subsequent
to September 1, 2015 this agreement has been extended under the
same terms with the monthly cash payment remaining at $6,000 per
month and 5,000 shares of restricted common stock for every six (6)
months of service performed.
As of September 30, 2017, the
Company has issued 15,000 shares of restricted common stock
in connection with this agreement and
accrued for the estimated per share value on each subsequent six
(6) month periods based on the price of Company’s common
stock at each respective date. As of September 30, 2017, the
Company has accrued for 10,000 shares of restricted stock that have
been earned and not issued. The fair value of the shares to be
issued are recorded as prepaid advisory fees and are included in
prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company’s
condensed consolidated balance sheets and is amortized on a
pro-rata basis over the term of the respective periods. During
the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the
Company recorded expense of approximately $14,000 and $15,000,
respectively and $42,000 and $46,000, during the nine months ended
September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, in connection with
amortization of the stock
issuance.
Warrants
As of September 30, 2017, warrants to purchase 2,710,066 shares
of the Company's common stock at prices ranging from
$2.00 to $10.00 were outstanding. All warrants are exercisable as
of September 30, 2017 and expire at various dates through November
2020 and have a weighted average remaining term of approximately
2.37 years and are included in the table below as of September 30,
2017.
Warrants – Private Placement
During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company
issued warrants through a Private Placement, to purchase 1,149,712
shares of its common stock, exercisable at $5.56 per share,
respectively, and expire between July 2020 and August 2020. (See
Note 6, above.)
-22-
Warrants – Other Issuance
In
May 2017, the Company entered a settlement agreement with Alain
Piedra Hernandez, one of the owners of H&H and the operating
manager of Siles, who was issued a non-qualified stock option for
the purchase of 75,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock
at a price of $2.00 with an expiration date of three years, in lieu
of an obligation due from the Company to H&H as relates to a
Sourcing and Supply Agreement with H&H. During the three months
ended September 30, 2017 the Company cancelled the non-qualified
stock option and issued a warrant agreement with the same terms.
The fair value of the warrant was $232,000 and was recorded in
general and administrative in the condensed consolidated statements
of operations.
There was no financial impact change in the valuation related to
the cancellation of the option and the issuance of the warrant. As
of September 30, 2017 the warrant remains outstanding.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company issued a
warrant as compensation to an associated Youngevity distributor to
purchase 37,500 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a
price of $4.66 with an expiration date of three years. The warrant
was exercised on a cashless basis and 21,875 shares of common stock
were issued during the three months ended September 30, 2017. The
fair value of the warrant was $109,000 and was recorded in
distributor compensation in the condensed consolidated statements
of operations.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model
(“Black-Scholes model”) to estimate the fair value of
the warrants.
A summary of the warrant activity for the nine months ended
September 30, 2017 is presented in the following

Stock Options
On May 16, 2012, the Company established the 2012 Stock Option Plan
(“Plan”) authorizing the granting of options for up to
2,000,000 shares of Common Stock. On February 23, 2017, the
Company’s board of directors received the approval of our
stockholders, to amend the 2012 Stock Option Plan
(“Plan”) to increase the number of shares of common
stock available for grant and to expand the types of awards
available for grant under the Plan. The amendment of the Plan
increased the number of authorized shares of the Company’s
common stock that may be delivered pursuant to awards granted
during the life of the plan from 2,000,000 to 4,000,000
shares.
The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term growth and
profitability of the Company by (i) providing key people and
consultants with incentives to improve stockholder value and to
contribute to the growth and financial success of the Company and
(ii) enabling the Company to attract, retain and reward the best
available persons for positions of substantial responsibility. The
Plan allows for the grant of: (a) incentive stock options; (b)
nonqualified stock options; (c) stock appreciation rights; (d)
restricted stock; and (e) other stock-based and cash-based awards
to eligible individuals qualifying under Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code, in any combination (collectively,
“Options”). At September 30, 2017, the Company had
1,874,380 shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the
Plan.

The weighted-average fair value per share of the granted options
for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was
approximately $3.05 and $1.80, respectively.
Stock based compensation expense included in the condensed
consolidated statements of operations was a credit of $46,000 and
$166,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016,
respectively, and $440,000 and $292,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
As of September 30, 2017, there was approximately $1,702,000 of
total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock
options granted under the Plan. The expense is expected to be
recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.68
years.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model
(“Black-Scholes model”) to estimate the fair value of
stock options. The use of a valuation model requires the Company to
make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs.
Expected volatility is calculated based on the historical
volatility of the Company’s stock price over
the expected term of the option. The expected life is based on
the contractual life of the option and expected employee
exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The
risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon
issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life assumed at
the date of the grant.
Restricted Stock Units
On
August 9, 2017, the Company issued restricted stock units for an
aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock, to its employees,
board members and consultants. These shares of common stock will be
issued upon vesting of the restricted stock units. Vesting occurs
on the sixth year anniversary of the grant date, over a six-year
period, with 10% vesting on the third-year, 15% on the fourth-year,
50% on the fifth-year and 25% on the sixth-year anniversary of the
vesting commencement date.
The fair value of each restricted stock unit is based on the
closing price on the grant date, and is recognized as stock based
compensation expense over the vesting term of the award. Restricted
stock based compensation expense included in the condensed
consolidated statements of operations was $32,000 for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2017.
As of September 30, 2017, total unrecognized stock-based
compensation expense related to restricted stock units was
approximately $1,309,000 which will be recognized over a weighted
average period of 5.86 years.
Note 10. Segment and Geographical
Information
The
Company is a leading omni-direct lifestyle company offering a
hybrid of the direct selling business model that also offers
e-commerce and the power of social selling. Assembling a
virtual Main Street of products and services under one corporate
entity, Youngevity offers products from top selling retail
categories: health/nutrition, home/family, food/beverage (including
coffee), spa/beauty, apparel/jewelry, as well as innovative
services. The Company operates in
two segments: the direct selling segment where products are offered
through a global distribution network of preferred customers and
distributors and the commercial coffee segment where roasted and
green coffee bean products are sold directly to
businesses.
The Company’s segments reflect the manner in which the
business is managed and how the Company allocates resources and
assesses performance. The Company’s chief operating decision
maker is the Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s chief
operating decision maker evaluates segment performance primarily
based on revenue and segment operating income. The principal
measures and factors the Company considered in determining the
number of reportable segments were revenue, gross margin
percentage, sales channel, customer type and competitive risks. In
addition, each reporting segment has similar products and
customers, similar methods of marketing and distribution and a
similar regulatory environment.
-24-
The accounting policies of the segments are consistent with those
described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
Segment revenue excludes intercompany revenue eliminated in the
consolidation. The following tables present certain financial

In the direct selling segment we sell health and wellness products
on a global basis and offer a wide range of products through an
international direct selling network of independent distributors.
Our multiple independent selling forces sell a variety of products
through friend-to-friend marketing and social
networking.
We also engage in the commercial sale of coffee. We own
a traditional coffee roasting business, CLR that sells roasted and
unroasted coffee and produces coffee under its own Café La
Rica brand, Josie’s Java House brand and Javalution brands.
CLR produces coffee under a variety of private labels through major
national sales outlets and major customers including cruise lines
and office coffee service operators. During fiscal 2014 CLR
acquired the Siles Plantation Family Group, a coffee plantation and
dry-processing facility located in Matagalpa, Nicaragua, an ideal
coffee growing region that is historically known for high quality
coffee production. The dry-processing facility is approximately 26
acres and the plantation is approximately 500 acres and produces
100 percent Arabica coffee beans that are shade grown, Rainforest
Alliance Certified™ and Fair Trade Certified™. The
plantation, dry-processing facility and existing U.S. based coffee
roaster facilities allows CLR to control the coffee production
process from field to cup.
The
Company conducts its operations primarily in the United States. For
the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 approximately
12% and 9%, respectively, of the Company’s sales were derived
from sales outside the United States. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2017 and 2016 approximately 11% and 9%, respectively,
of the Company’s sales were derived from sales outside the
United States.

Revenues
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, our revenue
increased 1.9% to $44,395,000 as compared to $43,562,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2016. During the three months
ended September 30, 2017, we derived approximately 85% of our
revenue from our direct sales and approximately 15% of our revenue
from our commercial coffee sales. Direct selling segment
revenues decreased by $622,000 or 1.6% to $37,954,000 as compared
to $38,576,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This
decrease was primarily attributed to a decrease of $5,366,000 in
revenues from existing business offset by additional revenues of
$4,744,000 derived from the Company’s 2016 and 2017
acquisitions compared to the prior period. The decrease in existing
business was primarily due to reduction in revenues related to key
management and distributors moving to another direct selling
company. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, commercial
coffee segment revenues increased by $1,455,000 or 29.2% to
$6,441,000 as compared to $4,986,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2016. This increase was primarily attributed to
increased revenues in our green coffee business.

Cost of Revenues
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, overall cost of
revenues increased approximately 8.4% to $18,631,000 as compared to
$17,194,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The
direct selling segment cost of revenues increased 1.1% when
compared to the same period last year as a result of product mix.
The commercial coffee segment cost of revenues increased 26.8% when
compared to the same period last year. This was primarily
attributable to increases in
revenues related to the green coffee business.
Cost of revenues includes the cost of inventory including green
coffee, shipping and handling costs incurred in connection with
shipments to customers, direct labor and benefits costs, royalties
associated with certain products, transaction merchant fees and
depreciation on certain assets.
Gross Profit
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, gross profit
decreased approximately 2.3% to $25,764,000 as compared to
$26,368,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Overall
gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased to 58.0%,
compared to 60.5% in the same period last year.
Gross profit in the direct selling segment decreased by 2.9% to
$25,472,000 from $26,233,000 in the prior period as a result of the
changes in revenues and costs discussed above. Gross profit as a
percentage of revenues in the direct selling segment decreased by
approximately 0.9% to 67.1% for the three months ended September
30, 2017, compared to 68.0% in the same period last year. This was
primarily due to increased social selling discounts offered in the
current period.
Gross profit in the commercial coffee segment increased by
116% to $292,000 compared to $135,000 in the prior period. The
increase in gross profit in the commercial coffee segment was
primarily due to the increase in green coffee revenues discussed
above. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues in the commercial
coffee segment increased by 1.8% to 4.5% for the period ended
September 30, 2017, compared to 2.7% in the same period last
year.

Operating Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, our operating
expenses increased approximately 6.9% to $27,581,000 as compared to
$25,792,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Included
in operating expense is distributor compensation paid to our
independent distributors in the direct selling segment. For the
three months ended September 30, 2017, distributor compensation
decreased 3.9% to $17,391,000 from $18,101,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2016. This decrease was primarily attributable
to the decrease in revenues and lower commissions paid on
discounted items. Distributor compensation as a percentage of
direct selling revenues decreased to 45.8% for the three months
ended September 30, 2017 as compared to 46.9% for the three months
ended September 30, 2016.
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the sales and
marketing expense increased 28.1% to $4,074,000 from $3,181,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to expenses
related to the Company’s twentieth anniversary convention
held in Dallas, Texas in August 2017 and increase in wages and
related benefits. Sales and marketing expenses also increased in
the commercial coffee segment primarily due to increased wages and
advertising expense related to the agreement with the Miami
Marlins.
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the general and
administrative expense increased 35.6% to $6,116,000 from
$4,510,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 primarily
due to increases in costs related to legal fees, computer and
internet related costs, international expansion, investor
relations, wages and related benefits, amortization and stock based
compensation costs. In addition, the Company revalued the
contingent liability, which resulted in a benefit of $339,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to a benefit of
$315,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2016.
Operating (Loss) Income
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, operating loss
increased to $1,817,000 compared to operating income of $576,000
for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This was primarily
due to the lower gross profit and the increase in operating
expenses discussed above.
Total Other Expense
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, total other expense
decreased by $36,000 to $541,000 as compared to other expense of
$577,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Total other
expense includes net interest expense, the change in the fair value
of warrant derivative and extinguishment loss on
debt.
Net interest expense increased by $806,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2017 to $1,752,000 as compared to $946,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 2016. Interest expense
includes interest payments related to acquisitions and other
operating debt, interest payments to investors associated with the
2014, 2015 and 2017 Private Placement transactions of $1,043,000
and related non-cash amortization costs of $710,000 and other
non-cash costs of $8,000. Net interest expense also includes $9,000
in interest income.
Change in fair value of warrant derivative liability increased by
$1,150,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 to
$1,519,000 compared to $369,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2016. Various factors are considered in the pricing
models we use to value the warrants, including our current stock
price, the remaining life of the warrants, the volatility of our
stock price, and the risk free interest rate. Future changes in
these factors may have a significant impact on the computed fair
value of the warrant liability. As such, we expect future changes
in the fair value of the warrants to continue and may vary
significantly from year to year (see Note 7, to the condensed
consolidated financial statements.)
We
recorded a non-cash extinguishment loss on debt of $308,000 in the
current quarter ended September 30, 2017 as a result of the
repayment of $4,200,349 in notes including interest to the three
investors from the November 2015 Private Placement through issuance
of a new July 2017 note. This loss represents the difference
between the reacquisition value of the new debt to the holders of
the notes and the carrying amount of the holder’s
extinguished debt (see Note 6, to the condensed consolidated
financial statements.)
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under 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 and operating loss and
tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using statutory 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 from a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the effective date of the
change. The Company has determined through consideration of all
positive and negative evidence that the US deferred tax assets are
more likely than not to be realized. The Company does not have a
valuation allowance in the US Federal tax jurisdiction. A valuation
allowance remains on the state and foreign tax attributes that are
likely to expire before realization. We have recognized an income
tax benefit of $1,290,000, which is our estimated federal, state
and foreign income tax benefit for the three months ended September
30, 2017. The income tax benefit for the three months ended
September 30, 2016 was $68,000. The current effective tax rate for
the three months ended September 30, 2017 was 54.7% compared to the
Federal statutory tax rate of 35%.
-28-
Net (Loss) Income
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company reported
a net loss of $1,068,000 as compared to net income of $67,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 2016. The primary reason for
the increase in net loss when compared to the prior period was due
to a net loss before income taxes of $2,358,000 in 2017 compared to
a net loss before income taxes in 2016 of $1,000.
Nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to nine months ended

Revenues
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, our revenues
increased 0.3% to $124,655,000 as compared to $124,264,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2016. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2017, we derived approximately 86% of our
revenue from our direct sales and approximately 14% of our revenue
from our commercial coffee sales. Direct selling segment
revenues decreased by $3,659,000 or 3.3% to $106,734,000 as
compared to $110,393,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
2016. This decrease was primarily attributed to a decrease of
$13,242,000 in revenues from existing business offset by additional
revenues of $9,583,000 derived from our Company’s 2016 and
2017 acquisitions compared to the prior period. The decrease in
existing business was primarily due to reduction in revenues
related to key management and distributors moving to another direct
selling company. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017,
commercial coffee segment revenues increased by $4,050,000 or 29.2%
to $17,921,000 as compared to $13,871,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2016. This increase was primarily attributed to
increased revenues in our green coffee business and coffee roasting
business.

Cost of Revenues
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, overall cost of
revenues increased approximately 7.8% to $52,923,000 as compared to
$49,102,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The
direct selling segment cost of revenues decreased 1.4% when
compared to the same period last year, primarily as a result of
lower revenues and lower shipping costs during the nine months
ended September 30, 2017. The commercial coffee segment cost of
revenues increased 32.2% when compared to the same period last
year. This was primarily attributable to increases
in revenues related to the green
coffee business, and additional costs incurred due to inventory
adjustments, increased direct labor costs, repairs and maintenance
and depreciation expense.
Cost of revenues includes the cost of inventory including green
coffee, shipping and handling costs incurred in connection with
shipments to customers, direct labor and benefits costs, royalties
associated with certain products, transaction merchant fees and
depreciation on certain assets.
Gross Profit
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, gross profit
decreased approximately 4.6% to $71,732,000 as compared to
$75,162,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Overall
gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased to 57.5%,
compared to 60.5% in the same period last year.
Gross profit in the direct selling segment decreased by 4.2% to
$71,522,000 from $74,690,000 in the prior period as a result of the
changes in revenues and costs discussed above. Gross profit as a
percentage of revenues in the direct selling segment decreased by
approximately 0.7% to 67.0% for the nine months ended September 30,
2017, compared to 67.7% in the same period last year. This was
primarily due to increased social selling discounts offered in the
current year compared to the prior year.
-29-
Gross profit in the commercial coffee segment decreased by
55.5% to $210,000 compared to $472,000 in the prior period. The
decrease in gross profit in the commercial coffee segment was
primarily due to an increase in costs discussed above. Gross profit
as a percentage of revenues in the commercial coffee segment
decreased by 2.2% to 1.2% for the period ended September 30, 2017,
compared to 3.4% in the same period last year.

Operating Expenses
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, our operating
expenses increased approximately 6.6% to $76,625,000 as compared to
$71,899,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Included
in operating expense is distributor compensation paid to our
independent distributors in the direct selling segment. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2017, distributor compensation
decreased 2.7% to $49,496,000 from $50,871,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2016. This decrease was primarily attributable
to the decrease in revenues. Distributor compensation as a
percentage of direct selling revenues increased to 46.4% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to 46.1% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was primarily
attributable to an increase in incentive payouts.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the sales and
marketing expense increased 39.8% to $10,650,000 from $7,619,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily due to
increases in convention and distributor events costs, increased
wages and related benefits and increased marketing
expenses.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the general and
administrative expense increased 22.9% to $16,479,000 from
$13,409,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily
due to legal fees, computer and internet related costs,
international expansion, investor relations, depreciation,
amortization and stock based compensation costs. In addition, the
contingent liability revaluation resulted in a benefit of
$1,019,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to
a benefit of $1,185,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
2016.
Operating (Loss) Income
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, operating loss
increased to $4,893,000 as compared to operating income of
$3,263,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This was
primarily due to the lower gross profit and the increase in
operating expenses discussed above.
Total Other Expense
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, total other expense
increased by $1,123,000 to $3,727,000 as compared to $2,604,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Total other expense
includes net interest expense, the change in the fair value of
warrant derivative and extinguishment loss on debt.
Net interest expense increased by $1,068,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2017 to $4,207,000 compared to $3,139,000 in
2016. Interest expense includes interest payments related to
acquisitions and other operating debt, interest payments to
investors associated with our Private Placement transactions of
$2,773,000, $1,270,000 non-cash amortization costs and $22,000 of
other non-cash interest. In addition we recorded $231,000 related
to issuance costs associated with our 2017 Private Placement. Net
interest expense also includes $67,000 in interest
income.
Change in fair value of warrant derivative liability increased by
$253,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to $788,000
compared to $535,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Various factors are considered in the pricing models we use to
value the warrants, including our current stock price, the
remaining life of the warrants, the volatility of our stock price,
and the risk free interest rate. Future changes in these factors
may have a significant impact on the computed fair value of the
warrant liability. As such, we expect future changes in the fair
value of the warrants to continue and may vary significantly from
year to year (see Note 7, to the condensed
consolidated financial statements.)
-30-
We
recorded a non-cash extinguishment loss on debt of $308,000 in the
current quarter ended September 30, 2017 as a result of the
repayment of $4,200,349 in notes including interest to the three
investors from the November 2015 Private Placement through issuance
of a new July 2017 note. This loss represents the difference
between the reacquisition value of the new debt to the holders of
the notes and the carrying amount of the holder’s
extinguished debt (see Note 6, to the condensed consolidated
financial statements.)
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under 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 and operating loss and
tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using statutory 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 from a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the effective date of the
change. The Company has determined through consideration of all
positive and negative evidence that the US deferred tax assets are
more likely than not to be realized. The Company does not have a
valuation allowance in the US Federal tax jurisdiction. A valuation
allowance remains on the state and foreign tax attributes that are
likely to expire before realization. We have recognized an income
tax benefit of $2,763,000, which is our estimated federal, state
and foreign income tax benefit for the nine months ended September
30, 2017. The income tax expense for the nine months ended
September 30, 2016 was $550,000. The current effective tax rate for
the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 32.1% compared to the
Federal statutory tax rate of 35%.
Net Income (Loss)
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company reported
a net loss of $5,857,000 as compared to net income of $109,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The primary reason for
the decrease in net income to a loss when compared to the prior
period was due to a net loss before income taxes of $8,620,000 in
2017 compared to net income before income taxes in 2016 of
$659,000.
Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization) as adjusted to remove the effect of stock
based compensation expense, the change in the fair value of the
warrant derivative and extinguishment
loss on debt or "Adjusted EBITDA," decreased to a negative $359,000
for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to
$1,620,000 in 2016 and decreased to a negative $851,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $6,420,000 in
2016, respectively.
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with our
results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provides
useful information about our period-over-period growth. Adjusted
EBITDA is presented because management believes it provides
additional information with respect to the performance of our
fundamental business activities and is also frequently used by
securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the
evaluation of comparable companies. We also rely on Adjusted EBITDA
as a primary measure to review and assess the operating performance
of our company and our management team.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. We calculate
adjusted EBITDA by taking net income, and adding back the expenses
related to interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization,
stock based compensation expense, extinguishment loss on debt and
the change in the fair value of the warrant derivative, as each of
those elements are calculated in accordance with
GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as a
substitute for net income (loss) (as determined in accordance with
GAAP) for the purpose of analyzing our operating performance or
financial position, as Adjusted EBITDA is not defined by
GAAP.
A reconciliation of our adjusted EBITDA to net income
(loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
At September 30, 2017 we had cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $1,373,000 as compared to cash and cash equivalents
of $869,000 as of December 31, 2016.
Cash Flows
Cash used in operating activities. Net cash used in operating activities for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $1,783,000
as compared to net cash used in operating activities of
$697,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Net cash
used in operating activities consisted of a net loss of
$5,857,000, offset by net non-cash operating activity of
$1,101,000 and by $2,973,000 in changes in operating assets and
liabilities.
Net non-cash operating expenses included $3,230,000 in depreciation
and amortization, $471,000 in stock based compensation expense,
$281,000 related to the amortization of deferred financing costs
associated with our Private Placements, $799,000 related to the
amortization of debt discounts, $172,000 related to the
amortization of warrant issuance costs, $200,000 for stock issued
for services, $106,000 related to stock issuance costs associated
with debt financing, $341,000 related to warrant issuance costs for
other compensation, $308,000 in extinguishment of debt and $42,000
in other non-cash items, offset by $788,000 related to the
change in the fair value of warrant derivative liability, $195,000
in expenses allocated in profit sharing agreement that relates to
contingent debt, $1,020,000 related to the change in the fair value
of contingent acquisition debt and $2,846,000 related to the change
in deferred taxes.
Changes in operating assets and liabilities were attributable to
decreases in working capital, primarily related changes in accounts
receivable of $1,452,000and decrease in prepaid expenses and other
current assets of $282,000. Increases in working capital primarily
related to changes in inventory of $440,000, changes in, accounts
payable of $2,143,000, accrued distributor compensation of
$515,000, changes in deferred revenues of $129,000 and changes in
accrued expenses and other liabilities of $1,480,000.
Cash used in investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities for
the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $865,000 as compared
to net cash used in investing activities of $1,026,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2016. Net cash used in investing
activities consisted of purchases of property and equipment,
leasehold improvements and cash expenditures related to business
acquisitions.
Cash provided by financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was
$3,154,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared
to net cash provided by financing activities of $34,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Net cash provided by financing activities consisted of proceeds
from the exercise of stock options $28,000, proceeds from factoring
of $1,723,000 and $2,720,000 of net proceeds related to the
Convertible Notes Payable associated with our July 2017 Private
Placement, offset by $159,000 in payments to reduce notes payable,
$440,000 in payments related to contingent acquisition debt, and
$718,000 in payments related to capital lease financing
obligations.
Future Liquidity Needs
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared and presented on a basis assuming we will continue as a
going concern. We have sustained significant operating losses for
the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $4,893,000, compared to
operating income in the prior year of $3,263,000. The losses in the
current year were primarily due to lower than anticipated revenues,
increases in legal fees, distributor events and sales and marketing
costs. Net cash used in operating activities was $1,783,000 in the
current year. Based on our current cash levels and our current rate
of cash requirements, we will need to raise additional capital and
we will need to significantly reduce our expenses from current
levels to be able to continue as a going concern.
We have
already commenced the process to increase our Crestmark line of
credit during the fourth quarter of this year and we are
considering multiple alternatives, including, but not limited to,
additional equity financings and debt financings. Depending on
market conditions, we cannot be sure that additional capital will
be available when needed or that, if available, it will be obtained
on terms favorable to us or to our stockholders.
-32-
We believe our legal fees will decrease in the future from the
levels spent in the current year. Furthermore, we expect to get
reimbursements from our insurance company for legal fees already
incurred. We expect costs related to distributor events will
decrease next year from current year levels as our costs in the
current year were unusually high due to the twentieth anniversary
convention held in Dallas in
August and one-time events held at the beginning of the year to
stabilize the sales force due to the departure of the previous
president and high-level sales management and distributors. We
anticipate revenues to start growing again and we intend to make
necessary cost reductions related to our international programs
that are not performing and also reduce non-essential
expenses.
Failure
to raise additional funds from the issuance of equity securities
and failure to implement cost reductions could adversely affect our
ability to operate as a going concern. The financial statements do
not include any adjustments that might be necessary from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There were no off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30,
2017.
Contractual Obligations
Subsequent to the filing of our Annual Report for the year ended
December 31, 2016, we have entered into Convertible Notes Payable
by way of our 2017 Private Placement and contingent debt associated
with the 2017 acquisitions; see Note 4 and Note 6, respectively, to
the condensed consolidated financial statements. There were no
other material changes from those disclosed in in our annual
report.
Critical Accounting Policies
The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, which require us to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the unaudited financial statements and
revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. Information with respect to our
critical accounting policies which we believe could have the most
significant effect on our reported results and require subjective
or complex judgments by management is contained in Item 7,
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for
the year ended December 31, 2016.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In
January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update
(“ASU”) No. 2017-04, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic
350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU
simplifies the test for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 from
the goodwill impairment test. Companies will now perform the
goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting
unit with its carrying amount, recognizing an impairment charge for
the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting
unit’s fair value not to exceed the total amount of goodwill
allocated to that reporting unit. An entity still has the option to
perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to
determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The
amendments in this update are effective for goodwill impairment
tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early
adoption permitted for goodwill impairment tests performed after
January 1, 2017. We are evaluating the potential impact of this
adoption on our consolidated financial
statements.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-17, Consolidation (Topic
810): Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common
Control. This standard amends the guidance issued with ASU 2015-02,
Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis
in order to make it less likely that a single decision maker would
individually meet the characteristics to be the primary beneficiary
of a Variable Interest Entity ("VIE"). When a decision maker or
service provider considers indirect interests held through related
parties under common control, they perform two steps. The second
step was amended with this ASU to say that the decision maker
should consider interests held by these related parties on a
proportionate basis when determining the primary beneficiary of the
VIE rather than in their entirety as was called for in the previous
guidance. This ASU was effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2016, and early adoption was not permitted. We adopted
ASU 2016-17 effective the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The
adoption of ASU 2016-17 did not have a significant impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).
The standard requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease
liabilities on the balance sheet and requires expanded disclosures
about leasing arrangements. We expect to adopt the standard no
later than January 1, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the
impact that the new standard will have on our consolidated
financial statements, which will consist primarily of a balance
sheet gross up of our operating leases. We have not evaluated the
impact of this new standard will have on our consolidated financial
statements; however it is expected to gross-up the consolidated
balance sheet as a result of recognizing a lease asset along with a
similar lease liability.
In
November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic
740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. This guidance
requires that entities with a classified statement of financial
position present all deferred tax assets and liabilities as
noncurrent. This update is effective for annual and interim periods
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, which required
the Company to adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of
fiscal 2017. Early adoption was permitted for financial statements
that have not been previously issued and may be applied on either a
prospective or retrospective basis. We adopted ASU 2015-17
effective the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The adoption of ASU
2015-17 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated
financial statements other than the netting of current and
long-term deferred tax assets and liabilities in the non-current
section of the balance sheet and footnote disclosures.
-33-
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the
Measurement of Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement
of Inventory.” The amendments in ASU 2015-11
require an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost or
market. Market could be replacement cost, net realizable value, or
net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin.
The amendments do not apply to inventory that is measured using
last-in, first out (LIFO) or the retail inventory
method. The amendments apply to all other inventory,
which includes inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out
(FIFO) or average cost. The amendments should be applied
prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the
beginning of an interim or annual reporting
period. Management is currently assessing the effect
that ASU 2015-11 will have on our condensed consolidated financial
statements and related disclosures. Included in
management’s assessment is the determination of an effective
adoption date and transition method for adoption. We expect to
complete our initial assessment process, including the selection of
an effective adoption date and transition method for adoption, by
December 31, 2017.
In May
2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic
606). The new revenue recognition standard provides a
five-step analysis of contracts to determine when and how revenue
is recognized. The core principle is that a company should
recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or
services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration
to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those
goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective
date of ASU No. 2014-09 for all entities by one year to annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The FASB has
issued several updates subsequently including implementation
guidance on principal versus agent considerations, on how an entity
should account for licensing arrangements with customers, and to
improve guidance on assessing collectability, presentation of sales
taxes, noncash consideration, and contract modifications and
completed contracts at transition. The amendments in this series of
updates shall be applied either retrospectively to each period
presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of
adoption. Early adoption is permitted. We continue to assess the
impact of this ASU, and related subsequent updates, will have on
our consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2017, we
are in the process of reviewing the guidance to identify how this
ASU will apply to our revenue reporting process. The final impact
of this ASU on our financial statements will not be known until the
assessment is complete. We will update our disclosures in future
periods as the analysis is completed.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 regarding ASC topic
No. 205, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern. The
standard requires all companies to evaluate if conditions or events
raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue
as a going concern and requires different disclosure of items that
raise substantial doubt that are, or are not, alleviated as a
result of consideration of management’s plans. The new
guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15,
2016. The adoption
of ASU No. 2014-15 did not have
a significant impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
ITEM 3. Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a Smaller Reporting Company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the
Exchange Act and in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are
electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are
not required to provide the information requested by this Item 3 of
Part I.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of
September 30, 2017, the end of the quarterly fiscal period covered
by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of
September 30, 2017, such disclosure controls and procedures were
effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by
us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and
Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated
and communicated to our management, including our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate
to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
(b)
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial
reporting that occurred during our third quarter of fiscal year
2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal controls over financial
reporting.
-34-
PART II. OTHER
INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are, from time to time, the subject of claims and suits arising
out of matters occurring during the operation of our business. We
are not presently party to any legal proceedings that, if
determined adversely to us, would individually or taken together
have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results,
financial condition or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome,
litigation has adversely impacted our business because of defense
costs, diversion of management resources and other
factors.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk.
Investors should carefully consider the risks described in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K/A as filed with the SEC on August 14,
2017, and all of the information contained in our public filings
before deciding whether to purchase our common stock. The following
information and updates should be read in conjunction with the
information disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A,
“Risk Factors,” contained in our Annual Report on Form
10-K/A as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2017. Except as set forth
below, there have been no material revisions to the “Risk
Factors” as set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A as
filed with the SEC on August 14, 2017.
We cannot assure you that the common stock will remain listed on
the NASDAQ Capital
Market.
Our shares of common stock are currently listed on the NASDAQ
Capital Market. Although we currently meet the listing
standards of the NASDAQ Capital Market, we cannot assure you that
we will be able to maintain the continued listing standards of the
NASDAQ Capital Market. If we fail to satisfy the continued
listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, such as the
corporate governance requirements, minimum bid price requirement or
the minimum stockholder’s equity requirement, the NASDAQ
Capital Market may take steps to de-list our common stock. If we
are delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market then our common stock
will trade, if at all, only on the over-the-counter market, such as
the OTC Bulletin Board securities market, and then only if one or
more registered broker-dealer market makers comply with quotation
requirements. In addition, delisting of our common stock could
depress our stock price, substantially limit liquidity of our
common stock and materially adversely affect our ability to raise
capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Delisting from the
NASDAQ Capital Market could also have other negative results,
including the potential loss of confidence by suppliers and
employees, the loss of institutional investor interest and fewer
business development opportunities.
The reverse stock split that was effected in June 2017 may decrease
the liquidity of the shares of the Common Stock.
The
liquidity of the shares of our Common Stock may be affected
adversely by the reverse stock split given the reduced number of
shares that are now outstanding. In addition, the reverse stock
split increased the number of shareholders who own odd lots (less
than 100 shares) of the Common Stock, creating the potential for
such shareholders to experience an increase in the cost of selling
their shares and greater difficulty effecting such
sales.
There can be no assurance that the reverse stock split, improved
the trading liquidity of the Common Stock.
Although
we believe that a higher market price of our Common Stock may help
generate greater or broader investor interest, there can be no
assurance that the reverse stock split will result in a share price
that will attract new investors, including institutional
investors.
There is substantial risk about our ability to continue as a going
concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future
financing.
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared and presented on a basis assuming we will continue as a
going concern. We have sustained significant operating losses in
the current year of $4,893,000, compared to operating income in the
prior year of $3,263,000. The losses in the current year were
primarily due to lower than anticipated revenues, increases in
legal fees, distributor events and sales and marketing costs. Net
cash used in operating activities was $1,783,000 in the current
year. Based on our current cash levels and our current rate of cash
requirements, we will need to raise additional capital and we will
need to significantly reduce our expenses from current levels to be
able to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance
that we can raise capital upon favorable terms, if at all, or that
we can significantly reduce our expenses.
The failure to comply with the terms of our outstanding Notes could
result in a default under the terms of the notes and, if uncured,
it could potentially result in action against the pledged assets of
CLR.
We currently have outstanding convertible notes in the principal
amount of $3,000,000 (the “November 2015 Notes) that we
issued to investors in November 2015 that are secured by certain of
our assets and those of CLR other than its inventory and accounts
receivable. We have also issued an additional $4,750,000 in
principal amount of notes (the “September 2014
Notes”) in September 2014 Offering (the “September 2014
Offering”) secured by CLR’s pledge of the
Nicaragua green coffee beans acquired with the proceeds, the
contract rights under a letter of intent and all proceeds of the
foregoing (which lien is junior to CLR’s factoring agreement
and equipment lease but senior to all of its other obligations), In
July and August of 2017, we issued notes in the aggregate principal
amount of $7,254,349, all of which are outstanding. Stephan
Wallach, our Chief Executive Officer, has also personally
guaranteed the repayment of the November 2015 Notes and the
September 2014 Notes, and has agreed not to sell, transfer or
pledge 30 million shares of our common stock that he owns so long
as his personal guaranty is in effect. The November 2015 Notes
mature in 2018, the September 2014 Notes mature in 2019 and the
2017 notes mature in 2020. The November 2015 Notes and the
September 2014 Notes require us, among other things, to
maintain the security interest given by CLR for the notes and all
of the notes require us to make quarterly installments of interest,
reserve a sufficient number of our shares of common stock for
conversion requests and honor any conversion requests made by the
investors to convert their notes into shares of our common stock.
If we fail to comply with the terms of the notes, the note holders
could declare a default under the notes and if the default were to
remain uncured, as secured creditors they would have the right to
proceed against the collateral secured by the loans. Any action by
secured creditors to proceed against CLR assets or our
assets would likely have a serious disruptive effect on our
coffee and direct selling operations.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED
SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
All sales of unregistered securities during the three months ended
September 30, 2017 have been previously reported except for the
sales of unregistered securities set forth below.
ProActive Capital Group, LLC. On
September 1, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with
ProActive Capital
Group, LLC or PCG Advisory Group (“PCG”),
pursuant to which PCG agreed to provide investor relations services
for six (6) months in exchange for fees paid in cash of $6,000 per
month and 5,000 shares of restricted common stock to be issued upon
successfully meeting certain criteria in accordance with the
agreement. Subsequent to September 1, 2015 this agreement has
been extended under the same terms with the monthly cash payment
remaining at $6,000 per month and 5,000 shares of restricted common
stock for every six (6) months of service performed. As of September 30, 2017, the Company has
issued 15,000 shares of restricted common stock in connection with this agreement and accrued for
the estimated per share value on each subsequent six (6) month
periods based on the price of Company’s common stock at each
respective date.
In May 2017, the Company issued a warrant as compensation to an
associated Youngevity distributor to purchase 37,500 shares of the
Company’s Common Stock at a price of $4.66 with an expiration
date of three years. The warrant was exercised on a cashless basis
and 21,875 shares of common stock were issued during the three
months ended September 30, 2017.
On December 11, 2012, the Company authorized a share repurchase
program to repurchase up to 750,000 of the Company's issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock from time to time the open
market or via private transactions through block trades. The
initial expiration date for the stock repurchase program was
December 31, 2013. On October 7, 2013, the Board voted to extend
the stock repurchase program until a date is set to revoke the
program.
As of September 30, 2017 the total number of shares that may yet be
purchased under the share repurchase program was 553,406. There
were no shares repurchased during the nine months ended September
30, 2017.
The
offers, sales and issuances of the securities described above were
deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in
reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506
promulgated under Regulation D promulgated thereunder as
transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. The
recipients of securities in each of these transactions acquired the
securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale
in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate
legends were affixed to the securities issued in these
transactions. Each of the recipients of securities in these
transactions was an accredited investor within the meaning of Rule
501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act and had adequate
access, through employment, business or other relationships, to
information about the Registrant.
