Note 1 Description of Business
Passport Arts, Inc. (“PPOR” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 2, 2008 and sold art from an on-line gallery. On January 31, 2011, PPOR reincorporated in Delaware, and changed its name to Soupman, Inc.
On December 15, 2010, PPOR acquired The Original Soupman, Inc. (“OSM”) and OSM’s wholly-owned subsidiary, International Gourmet Soups, Inc. (“IGS”) which owns 80% of Kiosk Concepts, Inc. (“Kiosk”), collectively “the Company” and ceased its art sales business.
The Company manufactures and sells a variety of soups to grocery chains and franchisees.
Note 2 Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they may not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2012, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation, for the year ended August 31, 2012. The interim results for the period ended November 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.
Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Soupman, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries and subsidiaries in which it has a controlling interest. The Company reports non-controlling interests in one of its subsidiaries as a component of equity separate from the Company’s equity. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassification
The Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation including the restatement previously mentioned. These reclassifications had no effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented.
Uses of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions impact both assets and liabilities, including but not limited to: net realizable value of accounts receivable, estimated useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment, the valuation of intangible assets, estimate of fair value of share based payments and derivative liabilities, estimates of tax liabilities and estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non-conforming events. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s operations are subject to risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, regulatory and other risks including the potential risk of business failure. These conditions may limit our access to capital. See Note 13 – Going Concern.
The Company has experienced, and in the future expects to continue to experience, variability in its sales and earnings. The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others, (i) the uncertainty associated with the success of franchisees, (ii) the cyclical nature of the soup business, (iii) general economic conditions and (iv) the related volatility of prices pertaining to the cost of sales.

Cash
The Company minimizes credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution(s). The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits; at November 30, 2012 and August 31, 2011, respectively, the balances exceeded the federally insured limit by $0 and $9,183, respectively. The Company has no cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on its accounts receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries. The allowance is based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current receivables aging, and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.
Property and equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. There were no impairment charges taken for the three months ended November, 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Intangible Assets
Amortization of identifiable intangible assets is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.
Intangible assets are reviewed quarterly for impairment or if indicators of potential impairment exist. There were no impairment charges taken for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.
The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:
● | Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
● | Level 2 - Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
● | Level 3 – Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available. |

The following are the major categories of liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of November 30, 2012 and 2011, using quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):
| | November 20, 2012 | | | August 31, 2011 | |
Derivative Liabilities (Level 3) | | $ | 375,524 | | | $ | 513,493 | |
The Level 3 valuation relates to derivative liabilities measured using management's estimates of fair value as well as other significant inputs, such as volatility and risk free interest rate, which may be unobservable. See Note 9.
The Company has determined the estimated fair value amounts presented in these financial statements using available market information and appropriate methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The estimates presented in the financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
Fair value estimates are based upon pertinent information available. The Company has determined that the carrying value of all financial instruments approximates fair value. The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and debt. The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments generally approximated their fair values as of November 30, 2012 and August 31, 2012, respectively, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Derivative Liabilities
Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments, such as ratchet provisions or conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.
Once derivative liabilities are determined, they are adjusted to reflect fair value at the end of each reporting period. Any increase or decrease in the fair value is recorded in results of operations as a change in fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model.
Beneficial Conversion Feature
For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a "beneficial conversion feature" ("BCF") and related debt discount.
When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument. The discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.
Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount
The Company may pay debt issue costs, and record debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of convertible debt. These costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.
Share-based payments
Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants, restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Share-based compensation awards issued to non- employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable.
Fair value of stock options and warrants, is determined using a Black-Scholes pricing model, which incorporates assumptions about expected volatility, risk free rate, dividend yield, and expected life. Compensation cost for share-based awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings/loss per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss attributable to the Company that is available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential of shares of common stock outstanding during the period including stock warrants, using the treasury stock method (by using the average stock price for the period to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of warrants), and convertible debt, using the if-converted method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential of shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive.

The Company has the following potential common stock equivalents at November 30, 2012 and August 31, 2012:
| | November 30, 2012 | | | August 31, 2012 | |
Stock options (exercise price - $0.50 - $0.75/share) | | | 1,975,000 | | | | 1,975,000 | |
Warrants (exercise price $0.75- $1.25/share) | | | 2,035,852 | | | | 1,952,135 | |

Convertible debt - derivatives liabilities (exercise price $0.29 - $1/share) | | | 1,988,208 | | | | 2,556,016 | |
Total common stock equivalents | | | 7,199,326 | | | | 7,683,417 | |
Certain of the outstanding convertible debt and warrants contain ratchet provisions that would cause variability in the exercise price at the balance sheet date. As a result, common stock equivalents may change at each reporting period.
The Company reflected a net loss for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and the year ended August 31, 2011; therefore, the effect of considering any common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive; consequently, a separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented.
Segments
The Company operates in only one segment.
Variable Interest Entities
A variable interest entity is a legal entity, other than an individual, used for business purposes that either (a) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities, or (b) has equity investors that lack certain characteristics of controlling interest.
A legal entity is required to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or is entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both.
On December 29, 2009, OSM purchased all of the assets of Soup Kitchen International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Soup Kitchen”) for $100,000 and guaranteed $3,670,000 of Soup Kitchen’s secured debt. In addition, OSM agreed to pay Soup Kitchen royalties of 1% of all of OSM sales for five years (through 2014), which will represent substantively all of Soup Kitchen’s revenue. See Note 8(C) regarding amounts still under guarantee.
The guaranty of the secured debt was a significant part of the Acquisition, because the assets acquired by OSM comprised substantially all of the income producing assets of Soup Kitchen, creating an obligation on the part of OSM that is almost certain to occur. In addition, the assets securing the debt were the assets obtained in the acquisition.
Management has determined that Soup Kitchen is a variable interest entity. Accordingly, the remaining post-acquisition net assets of Soup Kitchen have been consolidated with OSM’s net assets as of December 29, 2009; however, each entity still maintains its separate legal existence.
Non-controlling Interest
In December 2009, OSM acquired 80% of Kiosk, and reported the third party’s 20% as a non-controlling interest. As part of the Company’s merger in December 2010 with OSM, the Company began to report this non-controlling interest on its financial statements.

The corresponding debts above are more fully discussed below:
(A) Convertible Debt – Unsecured – Derivative Liabilities
During the three months ended November 30, 2012, the Company issued convertible unsecured debt and warrants that had an embedded conversion feature. The convertible debt includes the following terms:
| | November 30, 2012 | |
Interest Rate | | 8% | |
Default interest rate | | N/A | |
Maturity | March 21, 2013 to May 30, 2013 | |
Conversion terms | Fixed conversion price of $1.00 | $ 265,000 | |
The debt holders are entitled, at their option, to convert all or part of the principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion prices and terms discussed above. In addition the Company issued 66,250 3-year warrants in connection with these convertible notes.
The Company classifies embedded conversion features in these notes and warrants as a derivative liability due to the existence of anti-dilution provisions in the form of a ratchet feature; see Note 9. These notes will automatically convert into common shares of the Company upon the Company raising $2 million or more in additional funding, on the same terms and conditions as provided to the new investor(s).
During the three months ended November 30, 2012 the Company repaid $53,000 of its convertible unsecured debt - derivative liability and paid an early payment penalty of $26,500, which is shown on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations as a loss entitled “Prepayment of debt penalty.”

(B) Convertible Debt – Unsecured
During the three months ended November 30, 2012 the Company issued convertible debt. The convertible debt includes the following terms:
Interest Rate | | | 12% | |
Default interest rate | | | N/A | |
Term | 1 year | |
Maturity | September 20, 2013 to October 15, 2013 | |
Conversion terms | Fixed conversion price of $0.75 | | 304,000 | |
The debt holders are entitled, at their option, to convert all or part of the principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion prices and terms discussed above. In addition, the Company issued 121,600 shares of its common stock in connection with these convertible notes (which was recorded as debt discount); see note 8(E). Debt holders are also entitled to receive 12,500 shares per $100,000 invested should their loans not be repaid within 3 months from the date of the loan; see Note 14 for any shares issued under these terms.
In connection with these borrowings, the Company incurred debt issue costs of $76,946. In connections with all borrowings $70,130 was amortized during the three months ended November 30, 2012; the remaining balance of $198,173 will be amortized during the 12 months ended November 30, 2013.
Should the Company raise $1 million in this series of notes (in which $954,000 has been raised), all debt holders of this series of notes could receive either a portion (not to exceed the full amount) of their investment or the full amount of their investment back prior to maturity based on additional funding. The amount received shall be either 8% of the then funded amount (if additional funding is less than $3 million) or an amount equal to 100% of their investment plus accrued interest if the addition funding is in excess of $3 million. To date, the amount raised under this investment has not exceeded $1 million; therefore no amounts are due investors.
In addition, in the event the Company defaults on these loans (defined as nonpayment of note within three months after maturity) debt holders at their option, may convert the amount then due (including accrued interest) into common shares of the Company at a 35% discount to the average of the then lowest three days closing prices for the then preceding 20 days. As of the date of this filing, no notes were in default; however should the Company default on these notes, they will be treated as a derivative liability.
Convertible debt consists of the following activity and terms:
Balance - August 31, 2012 | | $ | 650,000 | |
Borrowings during the three months ended November 30, 2012 | | | 304,000 | |

During the three months ended November 30, 2012 the Company accrued $66,754 in interest on its secured debt and made payment of $30,709 on accrued interest.
In May, 2011 the Company entered into a 13-month forbearance agreement with a secured debt holder to avoid default. As part of the agreement, the Company was to reserve 500,000 of its common shares for the benefit of the debt holder. In August 2012, the Company entered into a second 13-month forbearance agreement with the same debt holder (representing $1,500,000 of the Company’s secured debt.) The debt holder received 550,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, having a fair value of $396,000 ($0.72/share) based on the quoted closing trading price of the Company’s stock on the date of the forbearance, which was charged to other expense; the debt holder also received the 500,000 shares (which were previously reserved for the benefit of the debt holder), having a fair value of $425,000 ($0.85/share) based on the closing price of the Company’s stock, which was recorded to debt. Per the second forbearance agreement, proceeds from the debt holder’s sale of the original 500,000 shares will reduce the amount owed the by the Company to the debt holder dollar-for-dollar but not to exceed the total amount of the debt. The Company will review the debt holder’s sales of these shares on a quarterly basis, and may either decrease or increase the Company’s recorded debt based on the dollar amount received from the stock sales, offsetting the aggregate as either a gain on or loss from debt settlement.

November 30, 2012
(Unaudited)
For the three months ended November 30, 2012, and 2011, the Company recorded a royalty expense of $56,250.
The Company is obligated to issue 10,000 shares of its common stock to a key employee each month. In addition the Company has agreed to issues an additional 800,000 shares (400,000 each on June 1, 2013 and June 1, 2014) to its Chairman, plus up to an additional one-million shares based on the Company sales and stock performance.
The Company is obligated to pay a consultant 267,108 shares, which vest monthly through July 2013.
Litigations, Claims and Assessments
From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm its business.
On September 21, 2009, a former Chairman of the Board of Soup Kitchen as successor to Commerce Bank (the “lender”) commenced an action to enforce certain guarantees given by the defendants to the lender regarding Soup Kitchen’s defaulted loan. In August 2011 the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with this individual which was extended in August 2012 to September 2013; see Note 8(C).
On May 31, 2010, a chapter 7 petition for involuntary bankruptcy was filed against Soup Kitchen.
On October 26, 2010, a third party action was filed in the Soup Kitchen bankruptcy case by the defendants against the Company, certain principals of the Company and other third parties. The action seeks, among other things, to invalidate the Company’s purchase of assets from Soup Kitchen. The Company is defending this action believing it to be without merit, especially in the light of the facts that (1) an independent appraisal was performed prior to the asset transfer, (2) an additional independent appraisal was performed by a third party in May of 2012, which showed Soup Kitchen had no value, (3) the Company paid $100,000 in cash and guaranteed secured debt in the amount of approximately $3,670,000; and (4) shareholder approval was obtained. Mediation in this case is still ongoing.
Soupman, Inc. is one of several defendants in a lawsuit filed by Gourmet Sales and Marketing, LLC (“GSM”) in July 2011. GSM claims that it is owed $37,500 in sales commissions based upon an August 2009 sales and marketing agreement. Aside from the claim for an accounting, compensatory damages and/or punitive damages are demanded with respect to the other claims. The Company served its answer to the complaint in October 2011, in which they denied the allegations of the complaint with respect to the claims of liability and asserted numerous defenses and affirmative defenses. The matter is now in the discovery phase of litigation. In Company counsel’s opinion, the complaint lacks merit as the agreement that forms the basis of GSM’s claims may be invalid and unenforceable, GSM is not owed any money, and the Company believes that punitive damages are without basis.
No assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of these actions or its effect on the Company. If the Company is not successful in its defense of these actions it could have a material adverse effect on its business, as well as current and expected future operations.
Note 13 Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had a net loss of approximately $1.2 million and net cash used in operations of approximately $0.4 million for the three months ended November 30, 2012, and a working capital deficit of approximately $8.6 million and a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $8.3 million at November 30, 2012. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on management's plans, which may include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The Company may need to incur liabilities with certain related parties to sustain the Company’s existence.
The Company will require additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. The Company believes its current available cash along with anticipated revenues will be insufficient to meet its cash needs for the near future. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, assumptions and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described in our reports that we file or furnish with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

General
Overview
On December 15, 2010, we entered into a Merger Agreement in which The Original Soupman, Inc. (“OSM”) was merged with and into OSM Merge, Inc. our subsidiary. All the shares of OSM were converted into an aggregate of 14,004,230 shares of our common stock and 1,987,783 shares of our preferred stock. In addition, principal and interest on $4,673,000 of OSM’s convertible notes were converted into 4,830,256 shares of our common stock.
On January 31, 2011, we reincorporated in Delaware and changed our name from Passport Arts, Inc. to Soupman, Inc. Thereafter, our stock began trading on the OTC-Bulletin Board under the symbol SOUP.
We currently manufacture and sell soup to grocery chains, the New York City School System and other outlets and to our franchised restaurants under the brand name “The Original Soupman”.
Our Company manufactures and sells soups under the “Original SoupMan” brand. We sell our soups in a new innovative Tetra-Recart self stable packaging in the canned soup aisle where most “heat & serve” retail soup purchases are made. We believe that with the new, shelf-stable, Tetra-Recart packaging that allows our soups to be displayed in the canned soup aisle, many consumers will choose the SoupMan’s famous soups from Al Yeganeh over the other typical inferior tasting canned soups. We believe we will capture the health conscientious consumers who are aware that recent reports have warned consumers that canned products contain BPA, a known cancer causing agent. Tetra Recart packaging is BPA free and recyclable.
We also have franchised and licensed restaurants in specifically designated heavy traffic locations such as casinos, airports, and other travel destinations including the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut. We sell the Original SoupMan soups in bulk 8 lb. frozen “heat ‘n serve” pouches to our franchised and licensed restaurants. The bulk 8 lb. pouches are also used for the Original SoupMan soups and products which we sell to the New York City Public School system.
We currently manufacture and sell soup to grocery chains, the New York City Public School System and other outlets and to our franchised restaurants under the brand name “The Original Soupman”. Our brand is well known throughout the industry and our Chicken Vegetable soup has been rated as the best chicken soup in America by Consumer Reports.
Results of Operations – Three Months ended November 30, 2012
The following table summarizes our operating results for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and November 30, 2011.
| �� | November 30, 2012 | | | November 30, 2011 | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Net loss including noncontrolling interest | | | | | | | | |
Less: net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest | | | | | | | | |
Net loss attributable to Soupman | | | | | | | | |
For the three months ended November 30, 2012 and November 30, 2011, soup sales accounted for 92% and 86% of overall revenues, and franchise revenues accounted for the remaining 8% and 14% respectively. The increase in soup sales of approximately 119% was primarily attributed to the sales of our new shelf stable Tetra Recart carton soups coupled with the fact that during the prior year we stopped manufacturing frozen soups in anticipation of the Tetra Recart.
Net loss attributable to Soupman for the three months ended November 30, 2012 was $1,214,483, or $0.04 per share (basic and diluted) compared to a loss of $1,219,588 or $0.04 per share for the three months ended November 30, 2011. The net loss decrease of $5,105 was attributable to the increase in revenue and a decrease in operating expenses, which was offset by a $240,837 increase in other expense.
Cost of Sales as a percent of soup revenues was 74% for the three months ended November 30, 2012 compared to 91% for the three months ended November 30, 2011. This decrease is attributable to the higher margins realized on the new Tetra Recart product, which was partially offset by slotting fees, expenses for the roll out of the new product and promotions. The prior year number includes the disposition of obsolete inventory of frozen packaging of $21,527 as we began to move from the frozen food aisle in anticipation of the new Tetra Recart packaging.
Operating expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and November 30, 2011 were $1,176,649 and $1,264,532, respectively and as a percentage of total revenue were 149% and 329%, for the respective periods. The operating expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2012 and November 30, 2011 include approximately $301,556 and $527,137 of expenses for the issuance of shares and stock options; approximately $269,402 and $259,887 for payroll, payroll taxes and benefits; $279,835 and $255,124 in professional fees which include legal, accounting, strategic planning, public relations and branding and marketing; $89,505 and $11,983 for promotion; $56,250 for both years for royalties; $38,748 and $3,119 for advertising; and $23,969 and $32,605 for insurance.
Other expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2012 were $306,795 compared to $65,958 for the three months ended November 30, 2011. The increase is primarily due to an increase in interest expense on new convertible notes issued and as a result of the accounting for the derivative value of such debt. We also had costs associated with the issuance of stock in conjunction with the issuance of convertible notes which was charged to other expense.
Liquidity and Capital
| | As at November 30, 2012 | | | As at August 31, 2012 | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Working capital (deficit) | | | | | | | | |
At November 30, 2012, we had cash of $207,343 as compared to $174,315 at August 31, 2012. The working capital deficit at November 30, 2012 of $8,634,043 and as of August 31, 2012 of $7,874,123 or an increase of $759,920 is attributable primarily to increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses and convertible debt, partially offset by increases in cash and other assets, primarily prepaid expenses. It should also be noted that included in the current liabilities as at November 30, 2012 are the current liabilities in the amount of $4,978,625 of Soup Kitchen International, Inc. a company not owned by us but included, for accounting purposes, in the financial statements as a “variable interest entity”, which negatively impact the total working capital deficit shown above (see note 3 Variable Interest Entities to the Soupman, Inc. and subsidiaries and Soup Kitchen International, Inc. Financial Statements).
For the three months ended November 30, 2012 cash used in operating activities was $420,666 as compared to $331,226 for the three months ended November 30, 2011. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities for the three months ended November 30, 2012 were losses from operations offset by increases in stock issued for services, amortization of dent discount and debt issue costs and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended November 30, 2012 was $25,826, which is from an increase in due from franchisees.
Net cash provided by financing activities for three months ended November 30, 2012 was $479,520 which includes net proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes of $532,520 offset by the repayment of debt of $53,000.
Current and Future Financing Needs
We have incurred a stockholders’ deficit of $ 8,285,840 through November 30, 2012 and have incurred a net loss of $1,214,483 for the three months ended November 30, 2012. We have incurred negative cash flow from operations since inception and have primarily financed our operations through the sale of stock and convertible notes. At November 30, 2012, we had debt of $4,947,724 and a working capital deficit of $8,634,043. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our debt in the amount of $4,947,724 includes a guarantee of Soup Kitchen International Inc’s debt in the amount of $2,990,897 all of which is past due. See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the report. We have spent, and expect to continue to spend, substantial amounts in connection with implementing our business strategy, including the promotion of our new shelf stable tetra recart packaging, our advertising and marketing campaign, and fees in connection with regulatory compliance and corporate governance. The actual amount of funds we will need to operate is subject to many factors, some of which are beyond our control. If our anticipated sales for the next few months do not meet our expectations, our existing resources will not be sufficient to meet our cash flow requirements. Furthermore, if our expenses exceed our anticipations, we will need additional funds to implement our business plan. We will not be able to fully establish our business if we do not have adequate working capital so we will need to raise additional funds, whether through a stock offering or otherwise.
We are obligated to pay the minority stockholder of Kiosk a royalty equal to 3% of the gross sales of all of its soup on the first $50,000,000 of gross sales, 2% on gross sales between $50,000,000 and $75,000,000, and 1% on gross sales thereafter. We are required to pay a minimum of $225,000 per year if the gross sales threshold is not met. Payments are due quarterly for ongoing services through June 30, 2014. The annual payments are as follows:
Years Ending August 31, | |
2013 (remaining 9 months) | | $ | 168,750 | |
2014 | | | 187,500 | |
Total | | | 356,250 | |
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company has adopted and maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Form 10-Q, is collected, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As required under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15, the Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control
The Company has implemented certain procedures over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 12a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended November 30, 2012 such as segregation of duties and daily reporting of certain financial information. This will ensure that all information that is required to be disclosed is done so in a timely manner.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
On September 21, 2009, Penny Fern Hart, a former Chairman of the Board of Soup Kitchen International, Inc. (“SKI”), as successor to the Commerce Bank loan to SKI, commenced an action in N.Y. State Supreme Court, Case Index # 602538/09, against John Bello, Maj-Britt Rosenbaum and William McCreery (the “Defendants”) to enforce certain guarantees given by the Defendants to Commerce Bank regarding SKI’s defaulted loan. On October 26, 2010, a third party action was filed in this case by the Defendants against OSM, certain principals of OSM and other third parties. The action seeks, among other things, to invalidate OSM’s purchase of assets from SKI. On May 2, 2011, a proceeding was brought against the Company, certain principals of the Company and other third parties by the bankruptcy trustee for SKI seeking to avoid and/or recover the value of assets of SKI, re-alleging various claims made in the October 26, 2010 action. On October 22, 2011, the presiding judge in the bankruptcy action stayed the remaining third-party claims, in the Penny Fern Hart matter, and ordered all the parties to confer and submit a discovery schedule for the bankruptcy action. The Company intends to vigorously defend these actions believing them to be wholly without merit, especially in the light of the fact that an independent appraisal was performed prior to the asset transfer to OSM which completely supported the fairness of the asset transfer to OSM in which OSM paid $100,000 in cash, guaranteed secured debt in the amount of $3,670,000, and has since paid $ 352,907 in respect of SKI payables (including $ 256,205 owed to Al Yeganeh. In addition, there was SKI shareholder approval obtained in connection with the transaction. No assurance, however, can be given as to the ultimate outcome of these actions or their effect on the Company. If the Company is not successful in its defense of these actions it could have a material adverse effect on its business and operations.
Soupman, Inc. is one of several defendants in a lawsuit filed by Gourmet Sales and Marketing, LLC (“GSM”) in July 2011. GSM claims that it is owed sales commissions based upon an August 2009 sales and marketing agreement. Aside from the claim for an accounting, compensatory damages and/or punitive damages are demanded with respect to the other claims. The Company served its answer to the complaint in October 2011, in which they denied the allegations of the complaint with respect to the claims of liability and asserted numerous defenses and affirmative defenses. The matter is now in the discovery phase of litigation. In Company counsel’s opinion, the complaint lacks merit as the agreement that forms the basis of GSM’s claims may be invalid and unenforceable, GSM is not owed any money, and the Company believes that punitive damages are without basis.
No assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of these actions or its effect on the Company. If the Company is not successful in its defense of this action it could have a material adverse effect on its business, as well as current and expected future operations.
