VANITY EVENTS HOLDING, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2012 AND 2011
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND LINE OF BUSINESS
COMPANY OVERVIEW
Nature of Operations
VANITY EVENTS HOLDING, INC. (the “Company” or “Vanity” or “we” or “our”), was organized as a Delaware Corporation on August 25, 2004, and is a holding company with expanding lines of business. Utilizing the acquired trademark of America’s Cleaning Company™, Vanity had established a cleaning company offering a full range of residential and commercial cleaning services as its only operating business until December 2010. In September 2010, the Company was forced to suspend its cleaning services operations due to a lack of available funds. In December 2010, we entered into a share exchange agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) by and among the Company, Shogun Energy, Inc., a South Dakota corporation (“Shogun”), Shawn Knapp, the principal shareholder of Shogun (the “Principal Shareholder”) and the other shareholders of Shogun (the “Shogun Shareholders” and collectively with the Principal Shareholder, the “Shareholders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Shareholders exchanged an aggregate of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Shogun in exchange for 500,000 shares of the Company’s series A preferred stock (the “Exchange”). Each share of series A preferred stock shall be entitled to 1,604 pre-reverse split votes per share and shall be convertible into 1,604 pre-reverse split shares of the Company’s common stock. Upon filing an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of shares of authorized common stock so that there is an adequate amount of shares of authorized common stock for issuance upon conversion of the series A preferred stock (the “Amendment”), the shares of series A preferred stock will be automatically converted into an aggregate of 802,000,000 pre-reverse split shares of the Company’s common stock. The Exchange Agreement contains customary terms and conditions for a transaction of this type, including representations, warranties and covenants, as well as provisions describing the Exchange consideration, the process of exchanging the consideration and the effect of the Exchange. The closing of the transaction took place on December 31, 2010.
On July 26, 2011, a majority of the voting capital stock of the Company took action in lieu of a special meeting of Stockholders authorizing the Company to enter into a rescission agreement (the “Rescission Agreement”) of the share exchange agreement, dated December 31, 2010 by and among the Company, Shogun Energy, Inc., Shawn Knapp, the principal shareholder of Shogun (“Mr. Knapp”), and the other shareholders of Shogun (the “Shogun Shareholders” and collectively with Mr. Knapp, the “Shareholders”) for the purpose of rescinding the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, and upon closing (the “Closing Date”), the Exchange Agreement will be rescinded and all obligations of any party arising from such Exchange Agreement, shall, in all respects, be deemed to be null and void and of no further force and effect (the “Rescission”). Following the closing of the Rescission, no party to the Exchange Agreement shall have any further obligations of any nature whatsoever with respect to the other parties pursuant to or arising from the Exchange Agreement. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Rescission Agreement took place on September 20, 2011. The rescission has been accounted for as a spin-off of Shogun by Vanity.
At December 31, 2011, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries include Vanity Events, Inc.; America’s Cleaning Company; and Vanity Licensing, Inc.
Reverse Merger and Rescission
December 2010 Transaction
On December 31, 2010, we entered into a share exchange agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) by and among the Company, Shogun Energy, Inc., a South Dakota corporation (“Shogun”), Shawn Knapp, the principal shareholder of Shogun (the “Principal Shareholder”) and the other shareholders of Shogun (the “Shogun Shareholders” and collectively with the Principal Shareholder, the “Shareholders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Shareholders exchanged an aggregate of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Shogun in exchange for 500,000 shares of the Company’s series A preferred stock (the “Exchange”). Each share of series A preferred stock shall be entitled to 1,604 pre-reverse split votes per share and shall be convertible into 1,604 pre-reverse split shares of the Company’s common stock. Upon filing an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of shares of authorized common stock so that there is an adequate amount of shares of authorized common stock for issuance upon conversion of the series A preferred stock (the “Amendment”), the shares of series A preferred stock will be automatically converted into an aggregate of 802,000,000 pre-reverse split shares of the Company’s common stock. The Exchange Agreement contains customary terms and conditions for a transaction of this type, including representations, warranties and covenants, as well as provisions describing the Exchange consideration, the process of exchanging the consideration and the effect of the Exchange. The closing of the transaction took place on December 31, 2010.
The transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition of Vanity by Shogun but in substance as a capital transaction, rather than a business combination since Vanity had minimal operations and assets as of the closing of the transaction. The stockholders of Shogun owned a majority of the Company’s voting power immediately following the transaction and Shogun’s management has assumed operational, management and governance control. The transaction is deemed as reverse recapitalization and the accounting is similar to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill or other intangible assets should be recorded. Shogun is treated as the surviving and continuing entity. The Company did not recognize goodwill or any intangible assets in connection with this transaction. Accordingly, the Company’s historical financial statements are those of Shogun, Energy, Inc.
On July 26, 2011, a majority of the voting capital stock of the Company took action in lieu of a special meeting of Stockholders authorizing the Company to enter into a rescission agreement (the “Rescission Agreement”) of the share exchange agreement, dated December 31, 2010 by and among the Company, Shogun Energy, Inc., Shawn Knapp, the principal shareholder of Shogun (“Mr. Knapp”), and the other shareholders of Shogun (the “Shogun Shareholders” and collectively with Mr. Knapp, the “Shareholders”) for the purpose of rescinding the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, and upon closing (the “Closing Date”), the Exchange Agreement will be rescinded and all obligations of any party arising from such Exchange Agreement, shall, in all respects, be deemed to be null and void and of no further force and effect (the “Rescission”). Following the closing of the Rescission, no party to the Exchange Agreement shall have any further obligations of any nature whatsoever with respect to the other parties pursuant to or arising from the Exchange Agreement. The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Rescission Agreement took place on September 20, 2011. The rescission has been accounted for as a spin-off of Shogun by Vanity.
Current Operations
Beginning in the second quarter of 2011, management actively engaged in evolving the existing business model of the Company from a sourcing and distribution company to a licensing and marketing company. Management believed that this new business model would allow the Company to have the ability to capture revenue without many of the associated costs that come along with the production of its products.
The first major area that we are moving this model forward is in our Direct Response TV spot that leverages our Sorbco Agreement (as defined below) with the launch of the Plant Sorb product. We have also established an online ecommerce presence with www.thereisaproductforthat.com ; in both cases, we will end up receiving our revenue for products sold sequentially ahead of when we have to pay our fulfillment partners.
Sorbco Exclusive License and Distribution Agreement
On July 13, 2011, the Company entered into an exclusive license and distribution agreement (the “Sorbco Agreement”) with Plant Sorb LLC (“Sorbco”) pursuant to which the Company will have the exclusive right and license to (i) market, sell, distribute and otherwise deal in commerce with the Sorbco products in the United States through any media and (ii) use Sorbco’s trademark. The License Agreement shall have an initial term ending on July 13, 2012, and shall continue on successive one-year terms thereafter unless terminated by either party for cause. For purposes of the Sorbco Agreement, “cause” is defined as the Company not exceeding a threshold of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) of retail revenues through sales of Sorbco products during the initial term of the Sorbco Agreement.
Shogun Distribution Agreement
On September 20, 2011, the Company and Shogun entered into a non-exclusive sales distributor agreement, pursuant to which Shogun granted Vanity a non-exclusive right to distribute or sell Shogun’s products in the United States for a period of 12 months from the date of the agreement.
The Company proceeded to leverage this business model going forward by creating a short form direct response TV spot for the Sorbco products as well as establishing an online ecommerce presence with www.buyplantsorbnow.com, as well as media tested driving traffic to its stand-alone web property in an effort to generate sales for the Sorbco products and Shogun products at www.thereisaaproductforthat.com. The Company’s goal in using the direct response TV spot was if the media tests were successful, the Company would roll-out additional direct TV spots and leverage retail distributors to drive the Company’s products thru mainstream retail channels as well as traditional direct response outlets. At the end of 2011, after evaluating the media tests, management determined that it would not be profitable or beneficial for the Company to pursue this business model for the Sorbco products past the initial testing phase.
Beginning in 2012, management decided to evolve its business strategy from a licensing and marketing company to an e-commerce transactional business where the Company’s management felt it had the relevant core competency and experience to successfully build value for the Company’s shareholders.
On February 29, 2012, the Company entered into a domain name assignment agreement with Greg Pippo, the Company’s chief financial officer (the “Assignor”), pursuant to which the Assignor assigned all of his rights, title and interest and goodwill in or associated with the domain names www.buyborroworsell.com and www.buyborroworsell.net (the “Domain Names”), together with any unregistered or registered trademarks, service marks, copyrights or other intellectual property or property rights based on or in any way related to the Domain Names.
On April 4, 2012, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Aegis Agreement”) with Aegis Worldwide, LLC, an entity controlled by Greg Pippo (the “Seller”), pursuant to which the Seller agreed to sell, transfer, convey, and deliver to the Company, all of Seller’s right, title and interest and goodwill in or associated with certain domain names (the “Aegis Domain Names”) along with any information or materials proprietary to the Seller that relate to the business or affairs associated with the Aegis Domain Names which is of a confidential nature, including, but not limited to, trade secrets, information or materials relating to existing or proposed products (in all and various stages of development), “know-how”, marketing techniques and materials, marketing and development plans and pricing policies (the “Assets").
Simultaneously with the execution of the Aegis Agreement, on April 4, 2012, the parties entered into an option agreement, pursuant to which Seller shall have the option to purchase the Assets and all enhancements to the Assets from the Company in consideration for (i) an amount in cash equal to the net proceeds used by the Company for the enhancement of the Assets on or after April 4, 2012 and (ii) the cancellation of the Shares. The option is exercisable beginning on the twelve month anniversary of the Closing Date and terminating on the 24 month anniversary of the Closing Date.
The cornerstone of our plan is the development of an online marketplace for many different types of goods. The Company will be developing innovative transactional e-commerce sites through a variety of different web properties. In these challenging economic times, we believe that consumers need access to many different types of goods leveraging the economies that come with shared consumption, along with a convenient and user friendly way to sell or monetize the goods that they currently own.
Our web properties will house several stand-alone sites specifically addressing areas management has identified as attractive in the world of fractional ownership. What that in turn means is that the consumer will not own the goods unless they are purchased outright, instead they will enjoy the use of them through the access that their membership fees allow. The Company plans to offer strong mobile applications to support these sites, as well as leveraging both social and traditional media to build consumer awareness.
Management plans on developing an engaging community experience filled with user feedback and industry specific content will further enhance the attractiveness of each stand-alone site. At this time these sites are in the planning and development stages. The stand-alone sites that the company plans to launch are WatchLender.com, ToysLender.com, SneakerLender.com, Shoelender.com, ElectronicsLender.com and CoutureLender.com. The company plans to work closely with outsourced third party developers to build out these web and mobile platforms during the first half of 2012.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN
Changes in Basis of Presentation
The 2011 financial information has been recast so that the basis of presentation is consistent with that of the 2012 financial information. This recast reflects the 1-for-300 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock that became effective on February 10, 2012.
We have incurred a net loss of $17,160,300 for the three months ended March 31, 2012; of this loss, $11,305,883 was the result of a net, non-cash expense from the change in value of derivative instruments and $5,748,658 was the result of a non-cash expense for debt discount and financing expense related to the issuance and modification of derivative instruments. As of March 31, 2012 we have negative working capital of $18,774,008 and a stockholders’ deficit of $15,524,008. As a result, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern at March 31, 2012.
Management has implemented new business plans as described above. Our ability to implement our current business plan and continue as a going concern ultimately is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies and to achieve profitable operations.
There can be no assurances that funds will be available to the Company when needed or, if available, that such funds would be available under favorable terms. In the event that the Company is unable to generate adequate revenues to cover expenses and cannot obtain additional funds in the near future, the Company may seek protection under bankruptcy laws. To date, management has not considered this alternative, nor does management view it as a likely occurrence, since the Company is progressing with various potential sources of new capital and we anticipate a successful outcome from these activities. However, capital markets remain difficult and there can be no certainty of a successful outcome from these activities.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business and does not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2012.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2011 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but do not include all disclosures required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition”. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred and title has transferred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is not recognized on product sales transacted on a test or pilot basis. Instead, receipts from these types of transactions offset marketing expenses.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Our short-term financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses consist primarily of instruments without extended maturities, the fair value of which, based on management’s estimates, reasonably approximate their book value. The fair value of our notes and advances payable is based on management estimates and reasonably approximates their book value based on their current maturity.
Fair value measurements
ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the amount that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also 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. ASC 820 describes the following three levels of inputs that may be used:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
In accordance with ASC 820, the following table represents the fair value hierarchy for our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2011:
| | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |
Assets | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 34,205 | | | $ | - | | | $ | - | | | $ | 34,205 | |
Total Assets | | $ | 34,205 | | | $ | - | | | $ | - | | | $ | 34,205 | |

Total Liabilities | | $ | - | | | $ | - | | | $ | 18,070,959 | | | $ | 18,070,959 | |
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for these items:
Conversion derivative liability — these instruments consist of certain of our notes which are convertible based on a discount to the market value of our common stock. These instruments were valued using pricing models which incorporate the Company’s stock price, volatility, U.S. risk free rate, dividend rate and estimated life.
The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities (warrant derivative liability and conversion derivative liability) for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Balance at beginning of year | | $ | 353,136 | |
Additions to derivative instruments | | | 5,768,249 | |
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities | | | 11,305,883 | |
Balance at end of period | | $ | 17,427,268 | |
LOSS PER SHARE
We utilize ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share” for calculating the basic and diluted loss per share. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. There were 111,107,116 common share equivalents at March 31, 2012 and 3,851,481 at March 31, 2011, which have been excluded from the computation of the weighted average diluted shares.
INCOME TAXES
We utilize ASC 740 “Income Taxes” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.
The Company made a comprehensive review of its portfolio of uncertain tax positions in accordance with recognition standards established by the guidance. As a result of this review, the Company concluded that at this time there are no uncertain tax positions that would result in tax liability to the Company. There was no cumulative effect on retained earnings as a result of applying the provisions of this guidance.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 – CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
The Company has identified the embedded derivatives related to its convertible notes, consisting of the conversion feature, its preferred stock, consisting of the conversion feature, and its warrants. Since certain of the notes are convertible into a variable number of shares, the conversion features of those debentures are recorded as derivative liabilities. Since the warrants and the conversion feature of the preferred stock have a price reset feature, they are recorded as derivative liabilities. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date and to adjust to fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date.
Greystone 100K Financing
On March 21, 2012, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Greystone Capital Partners LLC ("Greystone") providing for the sale by the Company to Greystone of a 8% convertible debenture in the principal amount of up to $100,000 (the “Debenture”). The Debenture matures on the first anniversary of the date of issuance (the “Maturity Date”) and bears an interest rate of 8% per annum, payable semi-annually and on the Maturity Date. Greystone may convert, at any time, the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Debenture into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) at a conversion price per share equal to the lesser of (i) a ninety percent (90%) discount of the average of the closing bid price of the Common Stock during the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion as quoted by Bloomberg, LP or (ii) the average of the closing bid price per share during the five (5) trading days prior to the date of any such conversion (the “Conversion Price”).
With the exception of the shares that the Company is obligated to issue to previous investors, for as long as the Debenture is outstanding, the Conversion Price of the Debenture shall be subject to adjustment for issuances of Common Stock or securities convertible into common stock or exercisable for shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of less than the then-effective Conversion Price, on any unconverted amounts, such that the then applicable Conversion Price shall be adjusted using full-ratchet anti-dilution on such new issuances subject, to customary carve outs, including restricted shares granted to officers, and directors and consultants.
The conversion features of the March 2012 debenture contains a variable conversion rate As a result, we have classified the conversion feature as a derivative liability in the financial statements. At issue, we have recorded a conversion feature liability of $1,398,576. The value of the conversion feature liability was determined using the Black-Scholes method based on the following assumptions: (1) risk free interest rate of 0.185%; (2) dividend yield of 0%; (3) volatility factor of the expected market price of our common stock of 718%; and (4) an expected life of 1 year. The Company has allocated $100,000 to debt discount, to be amortized over the life of the debt, with the balance of $1,298,576 being charged to expense at issue.
The warrants with price reset features have been adjusted due to the issuance of debt on March 21, 2012. As a result, those warrants now total 2,843,139 with an exercise price of $0.153. The Company has recorded expense related to the change in fair value of the warrants through the date of adjustment in the amount of $2,255,845. The Company has also recorded an expense of $3,694,644 due to the increase in the fair value of the warrants as a result of the modification.
The conversion feature of the preferred stock has been adjusted due to the subsequent issuance of debt. As a result, the conversion price is now $0.153 per share or an aggregate of 490,196 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company has recorded expense related to the change in fair value of the conversion feature of the preferred stock through the date of adjustment in the amount of $505,000. The Company has also recorded an expense of $514,020 due to the increase in the fair value of the conversion feature as a result of the modification.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012 we recorded additions to our derivative conversion liabilities related to the conversion feature attributable to interest accrued during the period. These additions aggregated $161,009 which has been charged to interest expense.
At March 31, 2012, we recalculated the fair value of our embedded conversion features and warrants subject to derivative accounting and have determined that their fair value at December 31, 2011 was $17,427,268. The value of the conversion liabilities and warrant liabilities was determined using the Black-Scholes method based on the following assumptions: (1) risk free interest rate of 0.185% - 1.0%; (2) dividend yield of 0%; (3) volatility factor of the expected market price of our common stock of 538% - 710%; and (4) an expected life of 1 – 4.25 years. We recorded expense of $8,545,038 during the three months ended March 31, 2012.
The Company is in default on five of its notes, aggregating $390,100 of unpaid principal and $52,967 on unpaid accrued interest. The Company has not repaid principal or accrued but unpaid interest that has become due and payable under the notes. The Company is currently working with the note holders on making arrangements to honor its obligations under the notes, however, there can be no assurance that any such arrangements will ever materialize or be permissible or sufficient to cover any or all of the obligations under the notes.

It is important to note that our actual results could differ materially from those included in such forward-looking statements.
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included herein.
Overview
The Company is a holding company with expanding lines of business. Utilizing their licensed trademark of America’s Cleaning Company™, Vanity established a cleaning company offering residential and commercial cleaning services. This company intended to expand its reach through national franchising. In addition, the Company also sought out, licenses, develops, promotes, and brings to market various innovative consumer and commercial products. Upon the closing of transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, the Company shifted its operations beginning in 2011 to focus on the business of Shogun Energy, Inc.
Shogun’s goal is to produce a premium line of energy drinks that are unique and appealing to all demographics, which adds to the allure of its product and the value of its brand. Shogun operates with the four warrior attributes in mind: loyalty to our customers; honor and pride in ourselves to produce an excellent product; confidence to promote our energy drink; and determination to toil long hours in order to perfect our product. Currently, Shogun’s only product is the Shogun Energy® drink which is available in regular and sugar-free. Shogun packages its Shogun Energy® drinks in 8.4-ounce and/or 16-ounce aluminum cans. Both drinks have a light carbonated citrus-ginger ale flavor and unlike others does not have a sticky after taste. Shogun does not directly manufacture our Shogun Energy® drink, but instead outsource the manufacturing process to third party bottlers and contract packers. Shogun continually seeks to expand distribution of our products by entering into agreements with regional bottlers or other direct store delivery distributors with established sales, marketing and distribution organizations.
After careful review of the Company’s business model during the first half of 2011, the Company determined that the capital requirements and time to market for the products and services of Shogun were greater than had been previously expected. As such, on June 30, 2011, the Company and Shogun entered into the Rescission Agreement, which relieved the Company of further capital investment in the Shogun business and will allowed the Company to streamline its business operations and operate under a more efficient business model on a going forward basis. The assets, liabilities and operations of Shogun were spun-off on September 20, 2011 pursuant to the Rescission Agreement.
Beginning in the second quarter of 2011, management actively engaged in evolving the existing business model of the Company from a sourcing and distribution company to a licensing and marketing company. Management believed that this new business model would allow the Company to have the ability to capture revenue without many of the associated costs that come along with the production of its products.
On May 24, 2011, the Company entered into a non-exclusive license agreement (the “Sorbco Non-Exclusive License Agreement”) with Plant Sorb LLC (“Sorbco”) pursuant to which the Company has the non-exclusive right and license to (i) market, sell, distribute and otherwise deal in commerce with certain Sorbco products in the United States through any media and (ii) use Sorbco’s trademark. The Sorbco Non-Exclusive License Agreement had an initial term commencing on the date of the Sorbco Non-Exclusive License Agreement and ending on May 31, 2011, and continues on a month-to-month basis thereafter unless terminated by either party on not less than thirty (30) days’ notice prior to the end of the initial term or any month-to-month extension. On July 13, 2011, the Company entered into an exclusive license and distribution agreement (the “Sorbco Exclusive License Agreement” and together with the Sorbco Non-Exclusive License Agreement the “Sorbco Agreement”) with Sorbco pursuant to which the Company has the exclusive right and license to (i) market, sell, distribute and otherwise deal in commerce with the Sorbco products in the United States through any media and (ii) use Sorbco’s trademark. The Sorbco Exclusive License Agreement shall have an initial term ending on July 13, 2012, and shall continue on successive one-year terms thereafter unless terminated by either party for cause. For purposes of the Sorbco Exclusive License Agreement, “cause” is defined as the Company not exceeding a threshold of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000.00) of retail revenues through sales of Sorbco products during the initial term of the Sorbco Exclusive License Agreement.
On September 20, 2011, the Company and Shogun entered into a non-exclusive sales distributor agreement, pursuant to which Shogun granted Vanity a non-exclusive right to distribute or sell Shogun’s products in the United States for a period of 12 months from the date of the Agreement.
The Company proceeded to leverage this business model going forward by creating a short form direct response TV spot for the Sorbco products as well as establishing an online ecommerce presence with www.buyplantsorbnow.com, as well as media tested driving traffic to its stand-alone web property in an effort to generate sales for the Sorbco products and Shogun products at www.thereisaaproductforthat.com. The Company’s goal in using the direct response TV spotwas if the media tests were successful, the Company would roll-out additional direct TV spots and leverage retail distributors to drive the Company’s products thru mainstream retail channels as well as traditional direct response outlets. At the end of 2011, after evaluating the media tests, management determined that it would not be profitable or beneficial for the Company to pursue this business model for the Sorbco products past the initial testing phase.
Beginning in 2012, management decided to evolve its business strategy from a licensing and marketing company to an e-commerce transactional business where the Company’s management felt it had the relevant core competency and experience to successfully build value for the Company’s shareholders.
On February 29, 2012, the Company entered into a domain name assignment agreement with Greg Pippo, the Company’s chief financial officer (the “Assignor”), pursuant to which the Assignor assigned all of his rights, title and interest and goodwill in or associated with the domain names www.buyborroworsell.com and www.buyborroworsell.net (the “Domain Names”), together with any unregistered or registered trademarks, service marks, copyrights or other intellectual property or property rights based on or in any way related to the Domain Names. In consideration for the assignment of the Domain Names, the Corporation agreed to pay the Assignor $2,500 for the fees and expenses related to the Domain Names incurred by the Assignor to date.
On April 4, 2012, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Aegis Agreement”) with Aegis Worldwide, LLC, an entity controlled by Greg Pippo, the Company’s chief financial officer (the “Seller”), pursuant to which the Seller agreed to sell, transfer, convey, and deliver to the Company, all of Seller’s right, title and interest and goodwill in or associated with certain domain names (the “Aegis Domain Names”) along with any information or materials proprietary to the Seller that relate to the business or affairs associated with the Aegis Domain Names which is of a confidential nature, including, but not limited to, trade secrets, information or materials relating to existing or proposed products (in all and various stages of development), “know-how”, marketing techniques and materials, marketing and development plans and pricing policies (the “Assets”)). In consideration for the purchase of the Assets, the Company agreed issue Seller 1,000,000 shares of Company’s common stock.
Simultaneously with the execution of the Aegis Agreement, on April 4, 2012, the parties entered into an option agreement, pursuant to which Seller shall have the option to purchase the Assets and all enhancements to the Assets from the Company in consideration for (i) an amount in cash equal to the net proceeds used by the Company for the enhancement of the Assets on or after April 4, 2012 and (ii) the cancellation of the Shares. The option is exercisable beginning on the twelve month anniversary of the Closing Date and terminating on the 24 month anniversary of the Closing Date.
The cornerstone of our plan is the development of an online marketplace for many different types of goods. The Company will be developing innovative transactional e-commerce sites through a variety of different web properties. In these challenging economic times, we believe that consumers need access to many different types of goods leveraging the economies that come with shared consumption, along with a convenient and user friendly way to sell or monetize the goods that they currently own.
Our web properties will house several stand-alone sites specifically addressing areas management has identified as attractive in the world of fractional ownership. What that in turn means is that the consumer will not own the goods unless they are purchased outright, instead they will enjoy the use of them through the access that their membership fees allow. The Company plans to offer strong mobile applications to support these sites, as well as leveraging both social and traditional media to build consumer awareness.
Management plans on developing an engaging community experience filled with user feedback and industry specific content will further enhance the attractiveness of each stand-alone site. At this time these sites are in the planning and development stages. The stand-alone sites that the company plans to launch are WatchLender.com, ToysLender.com, SneakerLender.com, Shoelender.com, ElectronicsLender.com and CoutureLender.com. The company plans to work closely with outsourced third party developers to build out these web and mobile platforms during the first half of 2012.
Recent Developments
On September 30, 2011, the Board of Directors and a majority of the voting capital stock of the Company took action by written consent authorizing the Company to amend its Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to (1) effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock") at the ratio of 300-for-1 (the “Reverse Stock Split”), and (2) increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock of the Company from 350,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 shares (the “Authorized Capital Change” and collectively with the Reverse Stock Split, the “Corporate Actions”). The Authorized Capital Change became effective on November 18, 2011. The reverse stock split became effective on February 10, 2012. Unless otherwise stated, all share and per share amounts in these financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect the effects of the reverse stock split.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting our financial statements; we believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments:
Use of Estimates - These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and, accordingly, require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Going Concern - The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, and do not reflect any adjustments related to the uncertainty surrounding our recurring losses or accumulated deficit
Revenue Recognition - We recognize revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition”. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred and title has transferred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is not recognized on product sales transacted on a test or pilot basis. Instead, receipts from these types of transactions offset marketing expenses.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments — Our short-term financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and other liabilities, consist primarily of instruments without extended maturities, the fair value of which, based on management’s estimates, reasonably approximate their book value. The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments is determined using option pricing models.
Results of Operations
Three Months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the Three Months ended March 31, 2011
The results of operations for the corresponding 2012 and 2011 periods include Shogun’s operations through September 20, 2011, the date of closing on the Rescission. All of the revenue reported in the 2011 period resulted from Shogun’s operations. Comparisons between the comparable periods are not necessarily indicative of our future operations.
Revenues:
Net sales were $424 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to net sales of $30,561 for the 2011 period, a decrease of $30,137, or 98.61%. The principal reason for the decrease in sales in 2012 is directly related to spin-off of the Shogun operations in September of 2011. Our revenues subsequent to the spin-off have been minimal as we implement our current business plan.
Operating expense:
Selling expense was $56,869 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, with no comparable expense in the current 2012 period. The reason for the decrease in 2012 is directly related to spin-off of the Shogun operations in September of 2011.
General and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $90,843, as compared to $274,582 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $183,739, or 66.92%. The principal reason for the decrease in expense in 2012 is directly related to spin-off of the Shogun operations in September of 2011. Current general and administrative expense consists primarily of payroll and professional fees.
Other income (expense):
We had expense from the change in the fair value of our derivative liabilities of $11,305,883 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to income of $24,402 in the comparable 2011 period. The change in the fair value of our derivative liabilities resulted primarily from the changes in our stock price and the volatility of our common stock during the reported periods. Refer to Note 3 to the financial statements for further discussion of our derivative liabilities.
We reported interest expense of $5,763,998 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared with interest expense of $67,066 during the three months ended March 31, 2011. Interest expense during the 2012 period consists primarily of the expense associated with the price resets of certain of our derivative instruments aggregating $4,208,664 and derivative liabilities issued during the period whose fair values exceeded the proceeds of the debt aggregating $1,459,585. The balance of the expense for the 2012 period relates to the amortization of debt discount and interest accrued on the debt. Interest expense for the 2011 period relates to the amortization of debt discount and interest accrued on the debt.
Net loss:
We reported net losses of $17,160,300 and $354,166 during the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, resulting from the components described above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2012 we had a working capital deficit of $18,774,008. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 we raised $100,000 in cash proceeds from the sale of a convertible debenture (see below).
Operating Activities - For the three months ended March 31, 2012, net cash used in operating activities was $82,119, primarily attributable to a loss of $105,759 (after adjusting for non-cash items), partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $23,640. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $35,289, primarily attributable to a loss of $323,478 (after adjusting for non-cash items) partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $277,494.
Investing Activities - For the three months ended March 31, 2011, net cash used in investing activities was $1,166, related to the purchases of furniture and equipment, with no expenditures in the current 2012 period.
Financing Activities - For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, net cash provided by financing activities was $100,000 and $38,306, respectively. Net proceeds from loans obtained through bank, related parties and others were $100,000 and $55,720 during 2012 and 2011, respectively. During 2011 we repaid a bank overdraft of $17,414.
Our continuation as a going concern for a period longer than the current fiscal year is dependent upon our ability to obtain necessary additional funds to continue operations and expansion of our business, to determine the existence, discovery and successful exploitation of potential revenue sources that will be financed primarily through available working capital, the sales of securities and convertible debt, issuance of notes payable other debt or a combination thereof, depending upon the transaction size, market conditions and other factors.
On March 21, 2012, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Greystone Capital Partners LLC , an accredited investor (the “Investor”), providing for the sale by the Company to the Investor of a 8% convertible debenture in the principal amount of up to $100,000 (the “Debenture”). The Debenture matures on the first anniversary of the date of issuance (the “Maturity Date”) and bears interest a rate of 8% per annum, payable semi-annually and on the Maturity Date. The Investor may convert, at any time, the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Debenture into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) at a conversion price per share equal to the lesser of (i) a ninety percent (90%) discount of the average of the closing bid price of the Common Stock during the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion as quoted by Bloomberg, LP or (ii) the average of the closing bid price per share during the five (5) trading days prior to the date of any such conversion (the “Conversion Price”).
With the exception of the shares that the Company is obligated to issue to previous investors, for as long as the Debenture is outstanding, the Conversion Price of the Debenture shall be subject to adjustment for issuances of Common Stock or securities convertible into common stock or exercisable for shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of less than the then-effective Conversion Price, on any unconverted amounts, such that the then applicable Conversion Price shall be adjusted using full-ratchet anti-dilution on such new issuances subject, to customary carve outs, including restricted shares granted to officers, and directors and consultants.
We presently do not have any other available credit, bank financing or other external sources of liquidity. We will need to obtain additional capital in order to expand operations and become profitable. In order to obtain capital, we may need to sell additional shares of our common stock or borrow funds from private lenders. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional funding.
We will still need additional capital in order to continue operations until we are able to achieve positive operating cash flow. Additional capital is being sought, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain such investments. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. However, the trading price of our common stock and a downturn in the equity and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to us, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek alternative financing. Furthermore, if we issue additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail our operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities in which we have financial guarantees, subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments or other contingent arrangements that expose us to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities or any other obligations under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides us with financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or 1934 Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the quarter ended September 30, 2011 we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the 1934 Act. Based on this evaluation, because of the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of March 31, 2012.
Management has identified control deficiencies regarding the lack of segregation of duties and the need for a stronger internal control environment. Management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses are due to the small size of the Company’s accounting staff. The small size of the Company’s accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in the future, such as segregation of duties, due to the cost/benefit of such remediation.
To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of external legal and accounting professionals. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.
These control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of account balances that would result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our consolidated financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q were fairly stated in accordance with US GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that despite our material weaknesses, our consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with US GAAP.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Changes in Internal Controls
During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting
