Nature of Business |
|
Vitacost.com, Inc. (“Vitacost” or the “Company”) is a leading online retailer of healthy living products, including dietary supplements such as vitamins, minerals, herbs and other botanicals, as well as cosmetics, natural personal care products, pet products, sports nutrition and health foods. Vitacost was incorporated in 1994 and began its online retail activity in 1999. Vitacost sells a proprietary line of healthy living products as well as a wide selection of other manufacturers’ brand-name goods. The Company ships products from two distribution centers located in Lexington, North Carolina and Las Vegas, Nevada. |
|
Basis of presentation |
|
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Vitacost as of March 31, 2014, and for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information along with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for annual financial statements. In management’s opinion, Vitacost has made all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring and non-recurring adjustments) during the quarter that were considered necessary for the fair statement of the financial position and operating results of the Company. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2014, or for any other period. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial position and results of operations, contained in Vitacost’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 (the “Form 10-K”). |

Significant Accounting Policies |
|
Principles of consolidation: |
|
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vitacost and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
|
Reclassifications: |
|
Reclassifications on the 2013 consolidated statement of cash flows have been made to conform to the 2014 presentation. |
|
Earnings per share: |
|
The Company computed earnings per share by dividing its net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares, including stock options, warrants and restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The following table reconciles basic weighted-average shares outstanding to diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013: |
|
| | Three Months Ended | |
| | March 31, | |
| | 2014 | | | 2013 | |
| | (In thousands) | |
Weighted-average shares outstanding - basic | | | 34,051 | | | | 33,519 | |
Effect of dilutive securities | | | - | | | | - | |
Weighted-average shares outstanding - diluted | | | 34,051 | | | | 33,519 | |
|
For the periods where the Company reported losses, all common stock equivalents are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, since the result would be antidilutive. Securities that were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been antidilutive for the periods presented are as follows: |
|
| | Three Months Ended | |
| | March 31, | |
| | 2014 | | | 2013 | |
| | (In thousands) | |
Stock options | | | 3,013 | | | | 2,682 | |
Warrants | | | 1,681 | | | | 1,681 | |
Restricted stock units | | | 277 | | | | - | |
Total antidilutive common stock equivalents excluded from diluted earnings per share | | | 4,971 | | | | 4,363 | |
|
Restricted cash: |
|
Restricted cash consists of cash pledged as collateral to a vendor. |
|
Fair value of financial instruments: |
|
Existing accounting guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidance applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. It requires disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and about fair value measurements. This guidance enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair value. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: |
|
| Level 1: | Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | | | | | | |
|
| Level 2: | Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. | | | | | | |
|
| Level 3: | Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. | | | | | | |
|
The carrying amounts of other financial instruments, including cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. Cash and cash equivalents are a Level 1 instrument within the fair value hierarchy. |
|
|
Concentration of credit risk: |
|
|
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held by one major financial institution and for certain accounts exceed federally insured limits. These cash and cash equivalent balances could be impacted if this financial institution fails or is subjected to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, the Company has experienced no loss or lack of access to its cash and cash equivalents. |
|
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance |
|
The Company did not adopt any accounting guidance nor was there any new accounting guidance issued during the period that had or would have had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
