NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Merger
On January 9, 2013, the Company, Be Active Acquisition Corp., the Company’s newly formed, wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary (“Acquisition Sub”) and Be Active Brands, Inc. (“Brands”), an entity incorporated in Delaware March 10, 2009 and based in New York, entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”). Upon closing of the transaction under the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”), Acquisition Sub merged with and into Brands, with Brands as the surviving corporation, and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Merger was accounted for as a reverse-merger and recapitalization with Brands as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes and the Company as the acquired company. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the operations reflected in the historical financial statements prior to the Merger are those of Brands and are recorded at the historical cost basis of Brands and the consolidated financial statements after completion of the Merger include the assets and liabilities of the Company and Brands, and the historical operations of the Company and Brands from the closing date of the Merger.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial statements and with the rules and regulations under Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for interim financial statements have been included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company together with the Company’s management discussion and analysis in Item 2 of this report and in the Company’s Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2013. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly-owned subsidiary and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Restatement
The Company is filing this amendment to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the period ended March 31, 2014 to amend and restate the financial statements and other financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Commencing with the January 9, 2013 private placement (described in Note 7), followed by the extinguishment of certain debt instruments and the April 26, 2013 private placement the Company issued warrants but did not properly record and present these warrants issued as derivative liabilities in the Company’s previously issued financial statements. The Company has concluded that these warrants should have been accounted for as derivative liabilities due to the existence of a ratchet feature in the instrument which will adjust the exercise price and number of warrants to be issued upon the issuance of any stock based offering at a lower price in the future. Such ratchet reset provision prohibits the Company from concluding that the warrants are indexed to our own stock, and thus derivative accounting is appropriate.
The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates.
On February 14, 2014, as a component of a private placement, the Company issued an aggregate of 66,333,330 warrants with a fair value determined using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model as $11,361,278 The pricing of this private placement triggered the reset provision in the warrants issued on April 26, 2013. Such triggering resulted in the exercise price of the previously issued warrants resetting to $0.03. The significant assumptions utilized by the Company in the valuation of these warrants were as follows:
Market Price: $0.18;
Exercise Price: $0.03;
Volatility: 134%;
Dividend Yield: zero;
Term: Five Years; and
Risk Free Rate of Return: 0.15%
The Company has reviewed all accounting transactions for the quarters and year ended December 31, 2013 and for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and has determined that derivative liability, additional paid-in capital, loss on extinguishment of debt, net income (loss), derivative expense and earnings per share needed to be restated related to the accounting for derivatives.
Restatement for the three months ended March 31, 2014:

3. GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant net losses since inception and at March 31, 2014, has an accumulated deficit of $28,605,182. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating expenses until it become profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
BE ACTIVE HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plan is to obtain such resources for the Company through sales of its products in combination with equity and/or debt financing. While as indicated in Note 7, the Company obtained approximately $1,800,000 of gross proceeds from an equity offering on February 14, 2014, there can be no assurance that this will be sufficient for the Company to continue as a going concern.
The Company resumed production of certain products for distribution on May 7, 2014.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
4. INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted income (loss) per share is computed similar to basic income (loss) per share except that the denominator for fully diluted income per share is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued in order to present their dilutive effect. The effect of outstanding warrants and convertible stock for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was anti-dilutive and did not affect the loss per share.
5. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
Property and equipment consists of the following:
| | March 31, | | | December 31, | |
| | 2014 | | | 2013 | |
Furniture and Fixtures | | $ | 6,138 | | | $ | 6,138 | |
Less: Accumulated depreciation | | | (2,799 | ) | | | (2,559 | ) |
Balance | | $ | 3,339 | | | $ | 3,579 | |
6. DUE TO OFFICERS/STOCKHOLDERS
As of December 31, 2013, amounts payable to an officer/stockholder and two stockholders comprised Due to officers/stockholders. One of the officers resigned on March 22, 2013 and is solely a stockholder. The other stockholder had resigned as an officer in a prior year. These loans are payable on demand without interest.
On February 27, 2014, that stockholder who had resigned March 2013 agreed to release the Company from its loan obligation to him of $247,021 which was recorded as forgiveness of debt income in the accompanying March 31, 2014 condensed consolidated statement of operations.

7. CAPITAL STOCK
Following the closing of the Merger, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,826,087 units (“Units”) in a private placement (“Private Placement”). $419,999.88 of the Units were sold at a per Unit price of $0.23. Additionally, an aggregate of $394,612 of the outstanding 10% convertible promissory notes and accrued interest converted into the Private Placement at a per Unit price of $0.19. Each Unit consisted of (i) one share of the Company’s common stock (or, at the election of any investor who would, as a result of the purchase of Units, become a beneficial owner of 5% or greater of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock) and (ii) a three year warrant to purchase shares of common stock equal to 100% of the number of shares of common stock sold in the Private Placement at an exercise price of $0.30 per share. In connection with the Private Placement, the Company and the investor entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) whereby the Company agreed to register the shares underlying the Units and issuable upon exercise of warrants for resale on a Registration Statement to be filed with the SEC within 60 days of the final closing of the Private Placement and to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective within 120 days of the filing date. On May 15, 2013, the Registrations Rights Agreement was amended to extend the filing date from 120 days to 180 days after the closing date. On July 2, 2013, the Registrations Rights Agreement was further amended to extend the filing date from 180 days to 240 days after the closing date. The Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 on September 25, 2013 to register an aggregate of 158,652,485 shares of the Company’s stock. The registration statement was subsequently withdrawn by the Company.
On March 8, 2013, the Board of Directors approved the authorization of 150,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001, per share, of which 40,000,000 shares have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock. Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to vote on all matters and the shares are convertible to the Company’s common stock in an amount equal to one share of common stock for each one share of Series A Preferred Stock upon notice to the Company, as defined.
On March 15, 2013, the Company commenced a second private placement, offering a minimum of $1,000,000 of units, each comprised of one share of common stock and warrants to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.05, per share, for three years at a purchase price of $0.03, per unit. The warrants are subject to registration rights, as defined and cashless exercise is permitted. On April 25, 2013, the Company consummated the private placement which began on March 15, 2013 and sold to certain accredited investors an aggregate of 28,333,334 units with gross proceeds to the Company of $850,000 less $150,000 of offering costs. The offering costs include 2,083,334 units valued at $62,500 for legal fees.
In connection with the offering, the Company granted the investors demand registration rights, commencing 30 days after the closing of the Offering and ending one year after the closing of the Offering, pursuant to which investors holding at least 50% of the outstanding securities sold in the Offering may request on 60 days’ notice, the filing of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, covering the resale of securities underlying the units. Additionally, the Company granted the investors “piggy-back” registration rights for a period of 180 days beginning on the closing date of the Offering. The Company added a Supplement to the Security Purchase Agreement, offering any investor of units who as a result of the purchase becomes a beneficial owner of 5% or more of the outstanding number of common shares, the option to purchase units consisting of one share of the Company’s new Series A Preferred Convertible Stock and a warrant.
BE ACTIVE HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In connection with the sale of the Units, the Company was required to issue to investors in the January 9, 2013 private placement (the “Prior Investors, and such offering, the “Prior Offering”) additional shares of common stock (or, at the election of such Prior Investor who would, as a result of such issuance, become the holder of in excess of 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, shares of Series A Preferred Stock), in connection with certain anti-dilution protection provided to such Prior Investors under the terms of the Prior Offering. As a result of the foregoing, in April 2013, the Company issued an aggregate of an additional (a) 3,789,473 shares of common stock (b) 19,191,458 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and (c) warrants to purchase an additional 22,980,931 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.03 per share (collectively, the “Ratchet Securities”). Furthermore, the exercise price of the warrants issued in the Prior Offering was reduced to a per share exercise price of $0.03.
In connection with the Offering and in consideration for such issuance, the shareholders released the Company from actions relating to the Company’s reverse-merger and various financings as well as from any rights under that certain Agreement of Shareholders of Be Active Brands, Inc. dated as of January 26, 2011, management determined that it was in the best interest of its stockholders to issue additional shares of common stock to certain of the original shareholders of Brands who, as a result of the reverse-merger consummated on January 9, 2013, became shareholders of the Company. Accordingly, the Company issued an aggregate of 23,054,778 shares of common stock to these original Brands shareholders, exclusive of current management, as a result of the significant dilution they experienced as a result of the Offering.
As a result of both the January 9, 2013 and April 26, 2013 private placements and conversion of debt, the Company recorded a derivative liability related to the reset feature on the exercise price of the warrants to purchase common stock issued by the Company. Such ratchet reset provision prohibits the Company from concluding that the warrants are indexed to our own stock, and thus derivative accounting is appropriate. Previously, any valuation assigned to these warrants was accounted for within additional paid-in capital. For derivative instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair market value and is then re-valued at each reporting date to its then fair value, with changes in such fair value measurement recognized in operations in the respective reporting period. The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates.
Additionally, on April 26, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized four (4) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and issued one share of Series B Preferred Stock to each of the Company’s three senior members of management. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is entitled such number of votes on all matters submitted to stockholders that is equal to (i) the product of (a) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder, (b) the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock (taking into account the effective outstanding voting rights of the Series B Preferred Stock), as of the record date for the vote and (c) 0.13334 less (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially held by such holder on such date. Additionally, on the six month anniversary date of issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock was to automatically, and without further action on the part of the holder, convert into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as would cause the holder to own, along with any other securities of the Company’s beneficially owned on the conversion date by them 13.334% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock, calculated on the conversion date. On October 25, 2013, the Company amended and restated the Certificate of Designation for Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to extend the date on which the Series B Shares would automatically convert into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, from the date six months from the date of issuance (October 26, 2013) to the twelfth month anniversary of the date of issuance of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock (April 26, 2014) which on April 22, 2014 was further extended to an indefinite date. The Company previously recorded the three shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock as stock-based compensation based at the then current estimate that the shares that would convert to shares of common stock of the Company based on the shares outstanding and current price per share at each balance sheet date. As of March 31, 2014, the Company recalculated the estimated shares to be 112,229,168 and recorded an aggregate of $10,423,447 in stock-based compensation. The estimate is based on the current common shares outstanding at March 31, 2014, a stock price of $0.11 and is subject to adjustment based on any additional common shares issued.BE ACTIVE HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On February 4, 2014, the holders representing a majority of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company voted and approved and permitted the Company to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 400,000,000 to 525,000,000, effective upon receiving approval from the Company’s Board of Directors and filing an amended Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware representing the amendment.
In January, February and March, 2014, an aggregate of 6,177,537 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was converted to 6,177,537 shares of common stock of the Company.
In January, February and March, 2014, an aggregate of 86,233,334 warrants to purchase common stock were exercised in a cashless conversion to an aggregate of 70,580,055 shares of the Company’s common stock. Upon exercise, the fair value of the warrants was calculated, the derivative liability was reduced by the prior value and the difference was recorded as a change in fair value on the statement of operations.
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
On February 12, 2014, the Company designated and authorized to issue 26,666,667 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”), par value $0.0001, per share, at a stated value of $0.0001, per share. Each holder of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote all matters submitted to shareholder vote and shall be entitled to the number of votes for each shares of Series C owned at the designated record date. Each holder of Series C Preferred Stock may convert any or all of such shares into fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock in an amount equal to one share of the Company’s common stock for each one shares of Series C Preferred Stock.
Securities Subscription Agreement
On February 14, 2014, the Company sold to certain accredited investors pursuant to a Subscription Agreement, an aggregate of 33,333,332 shares of its common stock, 26,666,667 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock and five year warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 59,999,999 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.03, per share, for gross proceeds of $1,800,000. Until the earlier of (i) three years from the closing of the Offering or (ii) such time as no investor holds any shares of common stock underlying warrants or underlying the Series C Preferred Stock, in the event the Company issues or sells common stock at a per share price equal to less than $0.03, per share, as adjusted, the Company has agreed to issue additional securities such that the aggregate purchase price paid by the investor shall equal the lower price issuance, subject to certain exceptions, as defined.
In connection with the Offering, the Company granted the investors “piggy-back” registration rights and the investors are entitled to a right of participation in future financings conducted by the Company for a period of twenty-four months.
The Company paid placement agent fees of $144,000 in cash, issued an aggregate of 599,999 shares of the Company’s common stock and issued a warrant to purchase up to 5,399,998 shares of the Company’s common stock as commission in connection with the sale of the shares and warrants. In addition, the Company permitted the conversion of an aggregate of $13,500 of unpaid fees owed to a consultant into 450,000 shares and warrants at the Offering price. In conjunction with the Offering, $100,000 was placed in an escrow account to be used for auditing and legal fees. As of March 31, 2014, the balance in the escrow account is $75,000.
On February 14, 2014, as a component of the private placement, the Company issued an aggregate of 66,333,330 warrants with a fair value determined using the Black-Scholes Pricing Model as $11,361,278 The pricing of this private placement triggered the reset provision in the warrants issued on April 26, 2013. Such triggering resulted in the exercise price of the previously issued warrants resetting to $0.03. The significant assumptions utilized by the Company in the valuation of these warrants were as follows:
Market Price: $0.18;
Exercise Price: $0.03;

CORPORATE OVERVIEW
Be Active Holdings, Inc. f/k/a Superlight, Inc. (“we” or the “Company”) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on December 27, 2007. On December 28, 2012, the Company amended and restated its Certificate of Incorporation in order to authorize the change of its name to “Be Active Holdings, Inc.” from “Super Light Inc.”
Since inception and until our merger with Be Active Brands, Inc. (“Be Active Brands”) on January 9, 2013, as further described herein, we conducted market analysis on diaper usage in our target market, researched governmental regulations for the importing of such products, and negotiated pricing with possible suppliers.
From and after the Merger, our business is conducted through our wholly owned subsidiary Be Active Brands. The discussion of our business both before and after the merger in this Form 10-Q is that of our current business which is conducted through Be Active Brands.
Be Active Brands was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 10, 2009. The Company manufactures and sells low fat, low calorie, all natural probiotic enriched frozen yogurt and ice cream under the trade name "Jala" and has trademarked its Jala cow logo.

Recent Developments
On January 9, 2013, we entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Be Active Brands and Be Active Acquisition Corp., our newly formed, wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary (“Acquisition Sub”). Upon closing of the transaction contemplated under the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”), Acquisition Sub merged with and into Be Active, and Be Active, as the surviving corporation, became our wholly-owned subsidiary.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement:
All issued and outstanding shares of Be Active’s Class A and Class B common stock were converted into the right to receive an aggregate of 29,502,750 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, holders of Be Active’s Class A and Class B common stock were treated equally as it relates to consideration paid in connection with the Merger.
In connection with the April Private Placement, management determined that it was in the best interest of its shareholders to issue additional shares of Common Stock to certain of the original investors of Be Active Brands, who, as a result of the Merger, became shareholders of the Company. As a result, the Company issued an aggregate of 23,054,778 shares of Common Stock to certain of the former shareholders of Be Active as a result of the significant dilution such shareholders experienced as a result of the April Private Placement. In consideration for such issuance, the shareholders released the Company from actions relating to the Company’s reverse merger and various financings as well as from any rights under that certain Agreement of Shareholders of Be Active Brands, Inc. dated as of January 26, 2011.
Additionally, on April 26, 2013, the Company designated four (4) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) and issued one share of Series B Preferred Stock to each of the Company’s three members of management, to wit: Saverio Pugliese, David Wolfson and Joseph Rienzi. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to such number of votes on all matters submitted to shareholders that is equal to (i) the product of (a) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder, (b) the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock (taking into account the effective outstanding voting rights of the Series B Preferred Stock), as of the record date for the vote and (c) 0.13334 less (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially held by such holder on such date. Additionally, on the six month anniversary date of the date of issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock shall automatically, and without further action on the part of the holder, convert into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as shall cause the holder to own, along with any other securities of the Company beneficially owned on the conversation date by them, 13.334% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company, calculated on the conversion date. On October 25, 2013 the Company amended and restated the Certificate of Designation for the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to extend the date on which the Series B Shares would automatically convert into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, from the date six months from the date of issuance (October 26, 2013) to the twelfth month anniversary of the date of issuance of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock (April 26, 2014). On April 22, 2014, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Certificate of Designation for the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to extend the date on which the Series B would automatically convert into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as will cause the holder to own, along with any other securities of the Company beneficially owned on the conversation date by them, 13.334% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company, from the date 12 months from the date of issuance of such Series B Shares to such date as will be determined by the Board of Directors.
