Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
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. At the closing of the Merger an aggregate of 1,000 shares of Brands’ Class A common stock and 299.6 shares of Class B common stock, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Merger were converted into 29,502,750 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value, per share. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, holders of the Class A and Class B common stock were treated equally as it relates to consideration paid in connection with the Merger.
Immediately following the closing of the Merger, under the terms of an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Assets and Assumption of Obligations, the Company transferred all of its pre-Merger assets and liabilities to another wholly owned subsidiary, Superlight Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SplitCo”). Thereafter, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company transferred all of the outstanding capital stock of SplitCo to a former officer and director of Holdings in exchange for the cancellation of an aggregate of 90,304,397 shares of the Company’s common stock held by such person (the “Split-Off”), which left 20,851,336 shares of the Company’s common stock held by persons who were stockholders of the Company prior to the Merger and which constitute the Company’s “public float” prior to the Merger that will continue to represent the shares of the Company’s common stock eligible for resale without further registration by the holders thereof, until such time as the applicability of Rule 144 or other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the effectiveness of a further registration statement under the Securities Act, permits additional sales of issued shares.
The Merger is being 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 that will be 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. The stockholders’ equity section has been retroactively restated for all periods presented to reflect the accounting effect of the reverse merger transaction.
The Company sells frozen yogurt and fudge bars and offers ice creams in various flavors to retailers with stores in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maine, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida. The Company intends to expand its regional growth to a national level and global presence in sales of premium quality low-fact, low calorie, low-carbohydrate, vitamin and probiotic enriched frozen yogurt and products under the brand name of Jala.
2. 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 June 30, 2013, has a working capital deficiency of $149,659, an accumulated deficit of $4,054,571 and stockholders’ deficit of $144,664. 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.
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. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 and Form 8-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2012. 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.
All references to common stock, share and per share amounts prior to the Merger have been retroactively restated to reflect the exchange ratio of 22,701:1 of common stock for each share of Brands stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger as if the exchange had taken place as of those dates.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Financial Instruments
The Company considers the carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and notes payable to approximate their fair values because of their relatively short maturities.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from customers. The Company records an allowance for doubtful receivables, if necessary, to allow for any amounts which may be unrecoverable. The allowance is based upon an analysis of the Company’s prior collection experience, customer creditworthiness and current economic trends. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, no allowance for doubtful accounts was required.
Inventory
Inventory consists primarily of finished goods held for distribution. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. In evaluating whether inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, management considers such factors as the amount of inventory on hand and the distribution channel, the estimated time to sell such inventory, remaining shelf life and the current expected market conditions. Adjustments to reduce inventory to its net realizable value are charged to cost of goods sold.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company classifies shipping and handling costs as part of selling expense. Shipping and handling costs were $444 and $5,489 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, and $30,503 and $74,665 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at several financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Federal legislation provides for FDIC insurance of up to $250,000. Approximately $75,000 of the Company’s cash is uninsured at June 30, 2013.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as they are incurred. Improvements and betterments, which extend the lives of the assets, are capitalized. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets retired or otherwise disposed of are relieved from the appropriate accounts and any profit or loss on the sale or disposition of such assets is credited or charged to income.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized, net of discounts, rebates, promotional adjustments, price adjustments and estimated returns and upon transfer of title and risk to the customer which occurs at shipping (F.O.B. terms). Upon shipment, the Company has no further performance obligations.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, directors and others based on the estimated fair values on the date of the grant. Common stock equivalents are valued using the Black-Scholes Option-Pricing Model using the known or equivalent market value of our common stock on the date of valuation, an expected dividend yield of zero, the remaining period or maturity date of the common stock equivalent and the expected volatility of our common stock.
Income (Loss) per Common Share
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (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. There were no dilutive financial instruments issued or outstanding at June 30, 2012. As of June 30, 2013, there was an aggregate of 94,658,716 dilutive financial instruments not included in the calculation of loss per share since the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes under FASB ASC 740 – Income Taxes, which requires the use of an assets and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when realization of deferred tax assets is not considered likely.
The Company’s policy is to classify income tax assessments, if any, for interest in interest expense and for penalties in general and administrative expenses.
The Company’s income tax returns for the years from 2009 to 2012 are subject to examination by the tax authorities.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising was $4,644 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and $575 and $16,666 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.
4. INVENTORY
As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 inventory consists of the following:
| | June 30, | | | December 31, | |
| | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
Materials | | $ | - | | | $ | 91,814 | |
Finished product | | | 63,374 | | | | 184,830 | |
Total | | $ | 63,374 | | | $ | 276,644 | |
Substantially all of the cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2013 results from the write-off of obsolete packaging materials and the write-off of inventory which reached its expiration date prior to sale.
5. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, property and equipment consists of the following:
| | June 30, | | | December 31, | |
| | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
Furniture and Office Equipment | | $ | 6,138 | | | $ | 2,276 | |
Less: Accumulated depreciation | | | (2,080 | ) | | | (1,599 | ) |
Balance | | $ | 4,058 | | | $ | 677 | |
6. NOTE PAYABLE, RELATED PARTIES
In 2011, the Company received advances from two Class A common stockholders who borrowed amounts under a $200,000 bank revolving credit facility, which was guaranteed by the Company and collateralized by the Company’s assets. In November 2012, the $198,000 balance then outstanding under the line of credit was repaid by the Company from additional funds received from the stockholders. Such funds are included in “due to officers/stockholders” on the balance sheet at December 31, 2012. The line of credit with the bank was discontinued on December 3, 2012.
7. DUE TO OFFICERS/STOCKHOLDERS
As of December 31, 2012, Due to officers/stockholders was comprised of unsecured advances from three officers/stockholders and one stockholder. As of June 30, 2013, amounts payable to two officer/stockholders 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.
8. 10% SECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES
On August 12, 2012, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement to sell up to a maximum of $600,000 of the Company’s 10% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (“Notes”).
The Notes were scheduled to mature one year from issuance with interest of 10% per annum, being accrued on the unpaid principal amount of the Notes until paid upon maturity, or earlier prepayment or conversion, as defined. The Notes also contained a provision requiring mandatory conversion to common stock upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the Merger and were converted into 2,076,906 shares of common stock on the Merger date.
In August 2012 and November 2012, the Company sold $135,000 and $250,000, respectively, of the 10% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes to investors. Through June 30, 2013 total accrued interest on the Notes was $9,612 and was settled in shares of the Company’s common stock. On January 3, 2013, the note holders were notified that the conversion price in connection with the Merger would be $0.19, per unit.
The number of securities issuable upon conversion of the Notes was determined by dividing the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and accrued interest on the conversion date by the conversion price in effect. As a result, $394,612 in Notes and accrued interest was converted to an aggregate of 2,076,906 shares of the Company’s common stock in January 2013.
9. CAPITAL STOCK
Following the closing of the Merger, 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.
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.
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.

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, 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.
Additionally, on April 26, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized three (3) 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 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’s beneficially owned on the conversion date by them, 13.334% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock, calculated on the conversion date. The Company recorded the three shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock as stock-based compensation based on a current estimate of the shares converting to 36,081,083 shares of common stock of the Company in October 2013 at the per share price of $0.257 as of June 30, 2013. The estimate is based on the current common shares outstanding at June 30, 2013, and is subject to adjustment based on any additional common shares through October 26, 2013. As a result, $927,284 was recorded as stock-based compensation with a corresponding entry to additional paid-in capital.

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.
Following the closing of the Merger, the Company sold an aggregate of 3,902,993 units (“January Units”) in a private placement (the “January Private Placement”). $419,999.88 of the January Units were sold at a per unit price of $0.23. Additionally, and included in the foregoing January Unit total, an aggregate of $385,000 of bridge notes of Be Active, plus accrued interest of $9,612 converted into the January Private Placement at per January Unit price of $0.19. Each January Unit consisted of (i) one share of the Company’s common 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 January Private Placement at an exercise price of $0.30 per share. In connection with the January Private Placement, the Company and the investors entered into a 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 January Private Placement and to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective within 120 days of the filing date.
In May 2013 the Registration Rights Agreement was amended to extend the filing to 180 days from the filing 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.
Immediately following the closing of the Merger and the Private Placement, under the terms of an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Assets and Assumption of Obligations, the Company transferred all of its pre-Merger assets and liabilities to its wholly owned subsidiary, Superlight Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“SplitCo”). Thereafter, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company transferred all of the outstanding capital stock of SplitCo to a former officer and director of the Company in exchange for cancellation of an aggregate of 90,304,397 shares of the Company’s common stock held by such person.
On April 25, 2013, the Company entered into subscription agreements (the “April Agreements”) with certain accredited investors (the “April Investors”) whereby it sold an aggregate of 28,333,334 units (the “April Units”) with gross proceeds to the Company of $850,000 (the “April Private Placement”), less $150,000 of offering costs. The offering costs include 2,083,334 Units valued at $62,500 for legal fees. Each April Unit was sold for a purchase price of $0.03 per unit and consisted of: (i) one share of the Company’s Common Stock (or at the election of the April Investor who would, as a result of the purchase of the April Units, hold in excess of 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock, one share of the Company’s newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), which is convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock on a one for one basis) and (ii) a five-year warrant (the “April Warrants”) to purchase an additional share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.05 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events such as lower priced issuances, stock splits and dividends.. In connection with the April Private Placement, the Company granted the April Investors demand registration rights, commencing 30 days after the closing of the April Private Placement and ending one year after the closing of the April Private Placement, pursuant to which April Investors holding at least 50% of the outstanding securities sold in the April Private Placement 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 April Units. Additionally, the Company granted the April Investors “piggy-back” registration rights for a period of 180 days beginning on the closing date of the April Private Placement. 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.
In connection with the sale of the April Units, the Company was required to issue to the investors in the January Private Placement additional shares of Common Stock (or, at the election of such investor in the January Private Placement 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 investors under the terms of the January Private Placement. As a result of the foregoing, 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. 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 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 three (3) 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. In the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded approximately $927,000 as stock-based compensation for the three shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock based on the current estimate of approximately 36,081,000 shares of common stock of the Company to be issued upon conversion.

The decrease in gross sales of $361,903, approximately 99%, was primarily due to the lack of capital necessary for marketing and production. In addition, the Company has been focusing on new labeling and packaging of its products.
Reconciling items that included sales discounts, returns and allowances, trade spending, and slotting fees totaled $707 and $194,657 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2013 decreased $167,953 or 99% as compared to net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2012.
Cost of Goods Sold

The decrease is primarily attributable to the reduced sales and purchases related to the deficiency in working capital. In addition, substantially all of the cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2013 resulted from the write-off of obsolete packaging materials and the write-off of inventory which reached its expiration date prior to sale.
Gross Loss
Gross loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $152,086, as compared to $169,128 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $17,042 or 10%. The decrease of gross loss was related to the decrease in sales and decrease in purchases.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses, consisting of selling, general and administrative expenses, and depreciation and amortization expense, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 increased to $1,181,775 from $165,738 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $1,016,037 or 613%. The increase is primarily attributable to the $927,284 in stock-based compensation attributable to the issuance of the shares of Convertible Series B Preferred Stock, in addition to increases in professional fees of $48,477, officers’ payroll of $71,250 and rent of $11,568, offset in part by a decrease of $43,429 in selling expenses.
Selling expenses consist primarily of advertising, promotion and marketing fees. Selling expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 decreased to $29,972 from $73,401 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $43,429 or 59%. The decrease is primarily due to the reductions in storage of $11,336 and freight and delivery of $30,059.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of office, utilities, computer, internet, travel and insurance expenses. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 increased to $224,141 from $92,260 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $131,881 or 143%. The increase is primarily attributable to the increases in legal and accounting fees, officer salaries and rent expenses.
Other Expenses
Other expenses were $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $2,082 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of $2,082 or 100%, as a result of decreased interest expense.
Net Loss
Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013 increased to $1,333,861 from $336,948 for three months ended June 30, 2012, an increase in loss of $996,913 or 296%. This increase is due primarily to the reduction in sales due to the deficiency of working capital.
Loss per Common Share
Basic loss per share for the three month periods ending June 30, 2013 and 2012 is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period after giving retroactive effect in 2012 to the shares issued in January 2013 to the stockholders of Be Active Brands upon consummation of the merger. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each period. Fully diluted EPS is not provided when the effect is anti-dilutive. When the effect of dilution on loss per share is anti-dilutive, diluted loss per share equals the loss per share.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2013 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2012
Sales
Gross Sales were $122,148 and $1,308,201 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The decrease is primarily attributable to the reduced sales and purchases related to the deficiency in working capital. In addition, substantially all of the cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2013 resulted from the write-off of obsolete packaging materials and the write-off of inventory which reached its expiration date prior to sale.
Gross Loss
Gross loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $120,234, as compared to $75,141 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $45,093 or 60%. The increase of gross loss was related to the decrease in sales.

The increase is primarily attributable to the $927,284 in stock-based compensation attributable to the issuance of the shares of Convertible Series B Preferred Stock, in addition to increases in professional fees of $72,199, officers’ payroll of $145,924, offset in part by a decrease of $99,930 in selling expenses.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased to $439,710 from $215,848 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $223,862 or 104%.

Loss per Common Share
Basic loss per share for the six month periods ending June 30, 2013 and 2012 is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period after giving retroactive effect in 2012 to the shares issued in January 2013 to the stockholders of Be Active Brands upon consummation of the merger. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each period. Fully diluted EPS is not provided when the effect is anti-dilutive. When the effect of dilution on loss per share is anti-dilutive, diluted loss per share equals the loss per share.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Total current assets at June 30, 2013 were $467,634, current liabilities were $617,293 and we had negative working capital of $149,659. Significant losses from operations have been incurred since inception and there is an accumulated deficit of $4,054,571 as of June 30, 2013. Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon attaining capital to achieve profitable operations while maintaining current fixed expense levels.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, including unrecorded derivative instruments that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. We have certain warrants and options outstanding but we do not expect to receive sufficient proceeds from the exercise of these instruments unless and until the trading price of our common stock is significantly greater than the applicable exercise prices of the options and warrants and mainly following any necessary registering of underlying securities.
