Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements |
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in 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. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual consolidated financial statements and related disclosures included in the Company's Annual Report on form 10-K, filed with the SEC on April 24, 2013. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are necessary to provide a fair presentation of financial position as of September 30, 2013 and the related operating results and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been made. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations, for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future periods or for the year ending December 31, 2013. |
Prior Period Reclassifications | ' |
Prior Period Reclassifications |
Certain prior period amounts that were combined in the December 31, 2012 consolidated financial statements (accounts payable and accrued expenses, and shareholder loans and other current liabilities) have been reclassified for comparability with the September 30, 2013 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net loss. |
Use of Estimates | ' |
Use of Estimates |
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on management's knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, such estimates and assumptions are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from such estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions underlying these consolidated financial statements include: |
| |
· | Estimates of allowances for uncollectable accounts receivable, |
· | Estimates of inventory obsolescence and overhead and labor cost allocations, |
· | Estimates assuming future earning capacity of our exclusive Brazilian distribution agreement, |
· | Estimates of value of equity transactions for services rendered, |
· | Estimates of returned or damaged product, and |
· | Estimates made in our deferred income tax calculations. |
Risks and Uncertainties | ' |
Risks and Uncertainties |
The Company's business could be impacted by price pressure on its product manufacturing, acceptance of its products in the market place, new competitors, changes in federal and/or state legislation and other factors. The Company also has been experiencing significant growth which puts serious strains on its cash availability requirements. If the Company is unsuccessful in securing adequate liquidity, its plans may be curtailed. Adverse changes in these areas could negatively impact the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. |
Cash | ' |
Cash |
Cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less which are not securing any corporate obligations. |
Accounts Receivable | ' |
Accounts Receivable |
Accounts receivable are reported at their net realizable value. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors pertaining to the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. Delinquent accounts are written-off when it is determined that the amounts are uncollectible. The Company also provides for allowances against accounts receivables for product returns and cooperative advertising allowances. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the allowance for uncollectable accounts was $544,208 and $373,981, respectively. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company provided $210,000 and $110,000 respectively for defectives and product returns and $60,000 at both dates for advertising credits. |
Inventory | ' |
Inventory |
Inventory is reported at the lower of cost or market on the FIFO method. Our inventory is subject to expiration and obsolescence, accordingly quantities purchased and sell through rates are periodically monitored for potential overstocking or pending expiration as a basis for establishing the appropriate reserve for any estimated expiration or obsolescence. |
Furniture and Equipment | ' |
Furniture and Equipment |
Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciation is provided using the straight line depreciation method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 5 to 7 years. The Company recorded $77,049 and $29,195 in depreciation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Accumulated depreciation was $224,740 and $101,972 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance of equipment are charged to expense as incurred. Major replacements and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the assets. |
Long-Lived Assets | ' |
Long-Lived Assets |
The Company has adopted ASC 360-10, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell. |
Long Term Debt | ' |
Long Term Debt |
Interest expense is recognized on the outstanding loan obligation as incurred and is recorded in "Interest Expense". The Company entered into a loan agreement to purchase certain warehouse equipment on December 10, 2012 (see Note 11). |
Non-Controlling Interest | ' |
Non-Controlling Interest |
Non-controlling interest consists of the minority owned portion of the following: |
Nutra Origin, Inc. - During the fourth quarter of 2012 the Company completed its license of the Nutra Origin brand. In addition, the Company established a new subsidiary to operate the Nutra Origin brand. As part of the license agreement, the licensor was granted a 7% non-controlling interest in the newly formed subsidiary. |
Revenue Recognition | ' |
Revenue Recognition |
Revenue is recognized when a product is shipped and risk of loss is transferred. The Company manages the collection process for transactions processed on its website, but it outsources its fulfillment (delivery) process to third parties. |
The Company's revenue recognition policies are in compliance with ASC Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition", which establishes criteria that must be satisfied before revenue is realized or realizable and earned. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following four criteria are met: |
| |
· | persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, |
· | delivery has occurred, |
· | the sales price is fixed or determinable and |
· | collectability is probable. |
Shipping and handling charges related to sales transactions are recorded as sales revenues when billed to customers or included in the sales price in accordance with ASC Topic 605, "Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs". Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold. |
Research and Development | ' |
Research and Development |
The Company currently maintains a functional laboratory employing two full time chemists, a part time chemist/consultant and a lab technician that identify new technology, test product alternatives and improve existing formulations. In addition, our founder and CEO devotes a substantial portion of his time in identifying new technologies and formulations to develop new products and improve existing products with the newest technology available. ASC Topic 730, "Accounting for Research and Development Costs" requires such activities be expensed in the year incurred. Such costs include laboratory supplies, salaries, materials and consultant fees. These costs are classified as product development, salaries, selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and amounted to $137,039 and $136,927 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. |
Income Taxes | ' |
Income Taxes |
The Company accounts for income taxes under the 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. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, At September 30, 2013 and 2012, a valuation allowance was provided against our deferred tax assets. Income tax benefit is the result of Mexican operations. |
Earnings per share | ' |
Earnings per share |
The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share amounts in accordance with ASC Topic 260, "Earnings per Share". Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company. Vested warrants for 253,893 shares and vested options for 32,633 shares were excluded from the earnings per share calculation because they would be anti-dilutive. |
Segment Information | ' |
Segment Information |
ASC Topic 280, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," established standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires those enterprises to report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. Management has determined that the Company operates in one business segment, which is the commercialization and development of personal care products. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ' |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
Fair value is defined as an exit price, which is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities generally correlates to the level of pricing observability. Financial assets and liabilities with readily available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and require less judgment in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial assets and liabilities that are rarely traded or not quoted have less price observability and are generally measured at fair value using valuation models that require more judgment. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency of the asset, liability or market and the nature of the asset or liability. We currently do not have any financial assets and liabilities that are recurring that would require us to disclose them at fair value. |
Functional Currency | ' |
Functional Currency |
The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of our consolidated entities operating in the United States. The functional currency for our consolidated entity operating outside of the United States is the Mexican peso. We translate their financial statements into U.S. dollars as follows: |
| |
· | Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date. |
· | Income statement accounts are translated using the weighted average exchange rate for the period. |
|
We include translation adjustments from currency exchange and the effect of exchange rate changes on intercompany transactions of a long-term investment nature as a separate component of shareholders' equity. There are currently no transactions of a long-term investment nature, nor any gains or losses from non-U.S. currency transactions. |
