PART I
ITEM 1.
BUSINESS.
Business Overview
iSatori is a consumer products firm who develops and sells proprietary nutritional products in the sports performance, weight loss and energy markets through on-line marketing, distributors and thousands of retail stores domestically and around the world. iSatori became a publically traded company on June 29, 2012. iSatori is headquartered in Golden, Colorado and its stock symbol is “IFIT.” Except as otherwise indicated by the context, all references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company,” “IFIT,” and “iSatori” refer to iSatori, Inc.
Business Description and Plan of Operation
iSatori is engaged in researching, designing, developing, contracting for the manufacture of, marketing, selling and distributing of various nutritional and dietary supplement products for the general nutrition market consumer seeking a healthier lifestyle. The “general nutrition market” may include such activities as bodybuilding or physique enhancement (i.e., increase of lean body mass and decrease in fat mass); enhanced athletic performance through increased strength and/or endurance; and proper nutrition for weight management. iSatori distributes its products to thousands of retail stores, both domestically and in some international countries. Those retail stores include and/or have included outlets such as GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, Vitamin World, Walmart, Walgreens, and other Fortune 500 companies, augmented by internet sales through various online properties. The Company’s core competencies include the development of new, innovative products, supported by creative, yet effective sales and marketing programs, all designed to expand its distribution and revenues in the rapidly growing $35 billion nutritional products industry.
Led by industry veteran Stephen Adelé, who turned a $50,000 personal investment into a multi-million dollar Company, along with a highly experienced management team (most of whom came from their prior employer together, EAS, Inc), iSatori now employs 24 full-time, and four contracted workers. iSatori leverages a unique product development process to bring to market some of the industry's leading and most technologically advanced dietary supplement products. Many of the Company’s products are the subject of trademarks, trade dress, or patents, owned by the Company or licensed from its inventors and distributed throughout the world. Further separating itself from competitors, iSatori funds independent clinical studies to discover new, efficacious products for the Company’s markets and satisfy consumer’s need for increased performance, energy and or weight loss.
Market Overview for Plan of Operation
Principal Products. iSatori is a direct online marketer and distributor to retailers of specialized nutritional supplements comprising four product families (sports nutritionals; energy products; meal replacements; and weight loss products).
•
Sports Nutritionals: Sports nutritionals, including powder and pill forms, are a $4.5 billion market, growing around 13% annually, and comprise nutritional ingredients and diet as it relates to bodybuilding, fitness and improving athletic performance. Sports nutrition’s primary goal is to enhance performance. First, it seeks to improve performance by seeking to improve body composition (e.g., muscle definition and loss of excess body fat), in order to increase speed, quickness, mobility, and strength. Second, sports nutritionals seek to help the speed of recovery from workouts in order to create more capacity for practicing and competition as the body is becoming more fit and adjusted to the coupling of the good nutrition incorporated into the workout regimen. Types of sports nutritional supplements marketed by iSatori include its category defining Bio-Active Peptides product (Bio-Gro™), advanced branched-chain amino acids powder with Methiomax™ (Amino-AMP™), beta-alanine to delay muscle fatigue (Morph®), post-workout recovery (RestorAid™), creatine (3-XL™), natural testosterone booster in both pill and powder form (Isa-Test™ and Isa-Test DA3™), and a pre-workout performance enhancer (PWR™).
5
•
Energy & Sports Drink Products: Energy products, including energy and sports drinks and shots, are an approximately $17.1 billion market, growing at 3.5% annually. iSatori’s energy supplements, Energize and Energize Bullets™, are tablets and drinks whose primary purpose is to safely “boost energy,” provided by a combination of time-released caffeine, vitamins, and herbal formulations. The growth of the Energy Products supplement category has more recently been fueled by the introduction of category-leading “energy shots,” or three ounce drinks.
•
Meal Replacements: Meal replacement protein (“MRPs”), protein-based products related to weight loss and nutritional bars, are a $6.9 billion market, growing at 11.6% annually. MRPs are either pre-packaged powdered drink mixes or edible bars, designed to replace prepared meals or serve as a healthy snack. MRPs, such as iSatori’s Eat-Smart® branded bars and powders are high in protein, high in fiber, gluten free, have a moderate amount of carbohydrates, and contain a wide array of vitamins and minerals. The majority of MRPs use protein as the basis for their formula. A broad range of people, from trained athletes to everyday busy people, consume meal replacement protein supplements for a variety of reasons, namely to replace a traditionally unhealthy meal or snack with a healthy, protein-enriched alternative product.
•
Weight Loss Products: Weight loss (pill-form) products are a $2.0 billion market, growing at 11.6% annually. Methods to promote weight loss by using nutritional supplements are generally divided into four categories: thermogenics (calorie expenditure), appetite suppressants, carbohydrate and/or fat-blocker, and those that cause behavior “mood” modification. iSatori has a strong history of marketing weight loss products. Some of the more popular weight loss supplements marketed by iSatori include Garcinia Trim, Meratrim® Platinum+, DygloTrim with patented Dyglomera ®, Sinetrim™ with Sinetrol®, hCG Activator™, Curvelle™, and MX-LS7.
The majority of the nutritional supplements iSatori sells are marketed under the iSatori brand, and the majority of the weight loss products under the BioGenetics Laboratories brand. These brands focus on supplements that iSatori believes are in high demand as well as specialty niche and proprietary formulations that iSatori believes could have strong margins. These supplements include specialty formulas, combined with proprietary delivery technologies, which iSatori believes will contribute to an individual’s positive physical changes and mental well-being.
iSatori’s attempts to position its products for extended product lifecycles as well as attempting to introduce new products. In 2013 and 2014, iSatori’s BioGenetic Laboratories line, which includes products such as Garcinia Trim, Meratrim® Platinum +, DygloTrim with patented Dyglomera ®, Sinetrim™ with Sinetrol®, and hCG Activator™ became leading weight loss products in specialty retailers, such as GNC. Other leading products include the fast growing Bio-Gro™ groups, a category defining sports nutritional product designed to enhance recovery and lean body mass, which expands in 2015 with new product introductions fortified with Bio-Gro™.
iSatori’s products are designed to appeal to a variety of demographic groups, including those seeking to lose weight, improve their workout or athletic performance, increase their energy levels, and those who want to eat healthier using tasty, convenient meal replacement options. Each product is developed with a proprietary formula and, if appropriate, a customized and/or unique delivery system. iSatori further differentiates its products by conducting clinical trials on many of its products, where it considers appropriate. To date, twelve scientific clinical studies, using the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled method (the “gold standard” of research) have been performed on iSatori products, and additional studies are currently under consideration. Each of these studies was funded either partially or entirely by iSatori and sample sizes ranged from 5 to 42 individual participants. These studies have produced scientific abstracts and then subsequently either been presented at scientific conferences or published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, such as Nutrition or JISSN (Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition).
6
Distribution. iSatori distributes its products directly to consumers through its websites and a proprietary online direct marketing system, as well as through wholesalers, specialty, online-only, grocery, convenience, drug and mass-market distribution channels via Fortune 500 partners. Through established distribution channel networks, iSatori has created channel access to over 120,000 domestic and international retail locations. iSatori products are currently sold in over 24,000 retail locations, and have confirmation they will be gaining new, additional retail distribution in the coming year. iSatori creates marketing, promotion, and packaging devices in its efforts to drive demand for its products through its established retail distribution.
iSatori, in some cases, utilizes independent brokers, who work in conjunction with iSatori’s experienced sales employees and management to oversee the grocery, drug and mass market channels. iSatori sells its products to mass-market merchandisers either directly or through distributors of nutritional supplement products. Major distributor, grocery, drug, convenience, club and mass-market customers are and/or have included:
| | | | | |
● | Albertsons | ● | Drugstore.com | ● | 24 Hour Fitness |
| | | | | |
● | Amazon.com | ● | Europa Sports | ● | 7-Eleven |
| | | | | |
● | Bally’s Total Fitness | ● | GNC | ● | Vitamin Shoppe |
| | | | | |
● | BodyBuilding.com | ● | Kroger | ● | Vitamin World |
| | | | | |
● | Costco | ● | Rite Aid | ● | Walgreen |
| | | | | |
● | CVS | ● | Super Value | ● | Walmart |
Customers. iSatori’s internal research indicates its target consumer understands and appreciates that iSatori products are well researched, premium and will oftentimes cost more than other competitive products; however, such customers are willing to spend more because of the scientific evidence and market credibility of iSatori products. This is evidenced by the company’s strong repurchase rate.
iSatori believes that it provides retailers in its distribution channels with services and products tailored to meet their individual business needs. In its mass -market distribution channel, iSatori’s managers and independent brokers work with corporate buyers focusing on new products, special promotional activities and brand and category awareness in order to attempt to increase the amount of consumer purchases of its products. The objective of these activities is to build strong relationships with retailing partners, to increase the number of stores carrying products and improve the profitability of the items sold within each trading partner.
Marketing. iSatori’s management team possesses a strong background in marketing nutritional supplements. As such, its core strategy has been to build brands within its channels of distribution that are appropriate for each product brand and to develop increased brand awareness and strong brand recognition among consumers seeking products with a reputation for quality and innovation. iSatori has utilized social media campaigns, coupons, print, radio, online and television advertising, plus cooperative and other incentive programs to build consumer awareness and generate trial and repeat purchases to drive sales revenue. Marketing and sales groups regularly review the media mix for its effectiveness in creating consumer demand and the highest return on investment dollars.
In addition, iSatori’s conventional distribution marketing and its proprietary internet marketing strategy are designed to increase awareness of proprietary brands and drive targeted traffic to iSatori’s websites to make purchases. Through iSatori’s online marketing system, its network affiliates use a multi-channel approach which includes search engine marketing, email campaigns, banner advertisements and additional affiliate programs to acquire new customers and retain a repeatable customer base.
7
Competition. The nutritional supplements market is large, growing, competitive and highly fragmented. iSatori competes with a variety of nutritional supplement companies operating in one or more distribution channels, including retail stores, online commerce, direct distribution or direct selling. In addition, packaged food and beverage companies, and large pharmaceutical companies compete in the same space, and many of these companies have greater financial and distribution resources available to them as well as many can compete through vertical integration.
Nutritional supplements sales are highly competitive with vendors competing vigorously to defend their positions within each market account. Many specialty retailers emphasize their own in -house private label brand, which creates additional competition. Some retailers have more than one private label brand. Vendors to the mass-market retailers continually analyze their own shelf space as well as that of their competitors in an effort to maximize profits for themselves and the mass-market retailer. The result is a cycle in which companies remove slower selling products from store shelves, replacing them with faster selling products.
iSatori believes it can compete favorably based on its management team’s prior experience combined with the principal competitive factors in its market, which include product innovation and quality, effectiveness, scientific evidence, brand recognition and customer service and support.
Manufacturing, Raw Materials and Principal Suppliers. All of iSatori’s products are manufactured by pre-selected FDA-regulated contract manufacturers. iSatori utilizes third-party manufacturers to provide its finished products, within the United States and Canada. Each contract manufacturer is required by iSatori to maintain the highest standards in GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices)-certification and/or compliance of quality control consistent with federal regulatory guidelines and to manufacture iSatori products according to iSatori’s strict specifications. In most cases, contract manufacturers purchase the raw materials based on iSatori’s specifications; however, from time to time, iSatori will license particular raw material ingredients and supply its own source to the manufacturer. Once produced, in addition to in-house testing performed by the contract manufacturer, iSatori may also perform independent analysis and testing. The contract manufacturer ships the finished product to distributors, customers or iSatori’s central fulfillment center in Denver, Colorado. iSatori has implemented vendor qualification programs for all of its suppliers and manufacturers, including analytical testing of purchased products. As part of the vendor program, iSatori also periodically inspects vendors’ facilities to monitor quality control and assurance procedures.
Intellectual Property. iSatori regards intellectual property, including its trademarks, service marks, website URL (domains) and other proprietary rights, as valuable assets and part of their revered brand equity. iSatori believes that protecting such intellectual property is crucial to its business strategy. iSatori pursues registrations of the registrable trademarks, service marks and patents, associated with its key products in the United States, Canada, Europe and other places it distributes its products.
iSatori formulates its products using proprietary ingredient formulations, flavorings and delivery systems. To further protect its product formulations and flavors, iSatori enters into agreements with manufacturers which provide exclusivity to certain products formulations and delivery technologies. When appropriate, iSatori will seek to protect its research and development efforts by filing patent applications for proprietary product technologies or ingredient combinations.
Seasonality. iSatori’s operations have been historically subject to minor seasonality, during the fourth fiscal quarter (October, November and December), though not necessarily in any material respect.

Existing or Probable Governmental Regulations
Overview. Many aspects of iSatori’s activities are subject to extensive regulation in the U.S. and abroad. The research, development, manufacture, processing, packaging, labeling, distribution, sale, advertising, and promotion of the Company’s products, and disposal of waste products arising from these activities, are subject to regulation by one or more federal agencies and their state equivalents, including the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”), and the Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”), as well as by comparable or similar state agencies and government authorities in those foreign countries in which iSatori distributes some of its products. iSatori’s importation of products into the U.S. is regulated by Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”).
FDA Regulation. FDA regulates almost all aspects of the manufacturing, packaging, labeling, holding, sale, and distribution of food and nutritional supplement products. The agency has broad regulatory authority in this domain, as well as a host of enforcement tools to ensure regulatory compliance. The FDA has the authority to conduct facility inspections, issue inspectional observations, and issue enforcement letters regarding non-compliance (called “untitled letters” and “warning letters”). The agency also has the power to publicize regulatory violations, to recall products that pose serious health hazards, and to pursue enforcement actions in federal courts, including product seizures, injunctions, or criminal prosecutions. The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (“FSMA”) has increased FDA’s authority with respect to food safety. As the agency implements this law, there will likely be increased regulation and increased regulatory scrutiny with respect to food and nutritional supplements.
The FDA regulates food under the FDCA and its implementing regulations. Food must be manufactured in accordance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMP”), a stringent set of regulations that prescribe extensive process controls on the manufacture, holding, labeling, packaging, and distribution of dietary supplements. FDA imposes specific requirements for the labels and labeling of food and nutritional supplements, including the requirements of the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 (“FALCPA”), which mandates declaration of the presence of major food allergens.
FDA regulates nutritional supplements (which are called “dietary supplements” under U.S. law) principally under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, or DSHEA. DSHEA defines dietary supplements as vitamins, minerals, herbs, other botanicals, amino acids and other dietary substances for human use to supplement the diet, as well as concentrates, metabolites, constituents, extracts or combinations of such dietary ingredients. Generally, under DSHEA, dietary ingredients that were on the market before October 15, 1994 may be used in dietary supplements without notifying FDA. However, a dietary ingredient that was not marketed in the United States before October 15, 1994 must be the subject of a notification submitted to FDA unless the ingredient has been present in the food supply as an article used for food and has not been chemically altered. A new dietary ingredient notification must provide FDA evidence of a history of use or other evidence of safety, and must be submitted to FDA at least 75 days before the initial marketing of the new dietary ingredient.
DSHEA permits statements of nutritional support to be included in labeling for dietary supplements without FDA pre-approval. Such statements may describe how a particular dietary ingredient affects the structure or function of the body or general well-being, but may not state that a dietary supplement will diagnose, cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent a disease unless such claim has been reviewed and approved by FDA. A company that uses a statement of nutritional support in labeling must possess evidence substantiating that the statement is truthful and not misleading. In some circumstances it is necessary to disclose on the label that FDA has not evaluated the statement, to disclose the product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent a disease, and to notify FDA about the use of the statement within 30 days of marketing the product.
Dietary supplements must be manufactured in accordance with cGMPs specific to this product category.
9
FDA’s regulation of marketed dietary supplements also includes the requirement that companies monitor the safety of their products through measures such as mandatory reporting of serious adverse events.
On December 1-2, 2014 the FDA conducted an inspection of the Company’s warehouse and operations. At the conclusion of the inspection a Form 483 was provided to the Company with four minor observations regarding the establishment of specific written procedures for quality control returns process, specific written procedures for the handling and investigation and logging of customer complaints.
The company has responded to the corrective actions Form 483 to the FDA and are awaiting final acceptance and response. The Company expects the corrective actions will suffice to the FDA requirements.
FTC Regulation. The FTC exercises jurisdiction over the advertising of various products, including food and dietary supplements. In recent years, the FTC has instituted numerous enforcement actions against dietary supplement companies for making false or misleading advertising claims and for failing to adequately substantiate claims made in advertising. These enforcement actions have often resulted in consent decrees and the payment of civil penalties and/or restitution by the companies involved.
State and Local Regulation. The Company is also subject to regulation under various state and local laws that include provisions governing, among other things, the formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, advertising and distribution of dietary supplements and over-the-counter drugs. For example, Proposition 65 in the State of California sets forth a list of substances that are deemed ones that pose a risk of carcinogenicity or birth defects. If any such ingredient is contained in a nutritional supplement, the product may be lawfully sold in California only if accompanied by a prominent warning label alerting consumers that the product contains an ingredient linked to cancer or birth defect risk. Private actions as well as California attorney general actions may be brought against non-compliant parties and can result in substantial costs and fines.
In addition, from time to time in the future, the Company may become subject to additional laws or regulations administered by the FDA, the FTC, or by other federal, state or local regulatory authorities, to the repeal of laws or regulations that the Company generally considers favorable, such as DSHEA, or to more stringent interpretations of current laws or regulations. The Company is neither able to predict the nature of such future laws, regulations, repeals or interpretations, nor what effect additional governmental regulation, if and when it occurs, would have on its business in the future. Such developments could, however, require reformulation of certain products to meet new standards, recalls or discontinuance of certain products not able to be reformulated, additional record-keeping requirements, increased documentation of the properties of certain products, additional or different labeling, additional scientific substantiation, additional personnel or other new requirements. Any such developments could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.
International Regulation. Government regulations in foreign countries may prevent or delay the introduction, or require the reformulation, of certain products. When entering new markets, the company may be required to obtain an approval, license or certification from the country’s health or comparable agency. Product labeling and packaging requirements vary from country to country as well. Compliance with such foreign governmental regulations is generally the responsibility of the Company’s distributors in those countries. These distributors are independent contractors whom the Company does not control.
Other Regulation. The Company is also subject to federal and state consumer protection laws, including laws protecting the privacy of consumer non-public information and regulations prohibiting unfair and deceptive acts and trade practices. In particular, under federal and state financial privacy laws and regulations, the Company must provide:
•
Notice to consumers of our policies on sharing non-public information with third parties;
•
Advance notice of any changes to our policies; and
•
With limited exceptions, provide consumers the right to prevent sharing of their non-public personal information with unaffiliated third parties.
10
Furthermore, the growth and demand for online commerce could result in more stringent consumer protection laws that impose additional compliance burdens on online retailers. These consumer protection laws could result in substantial compliance costs and could interfere with the conduct of the Company’s business.
There is currently uncertainty in many states whether or how existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, sales and other taxes, and libel and personal privacy apply to the Internet and commercial online retailers. These issues may take years to resolve. For example, tax authorities in a number of states, as well as a Congressional advisory commission, are currently reviewing the appropriate tax treatment of companies engaged in online commerce, and new state tax regulations may subject the Company to additional state sales and income taxes. New legislation or regulation, the application of laws and regulations from jurisdictions whose laws do not currently apply to our business, or a change in application of existing laws and regulations to the Internet and commercial online services could result in significant additional taxes on the Company’s business.
Number of Employees
iSatori currently employs 24 full-time, and four contracted workers. Additionally, from time to time, iSatori utilizes the contracted services of temporary employees, fulfillment, and manufacturing companies.

ITEM 3.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is engaged in various legal actions, claims and proceedings arising in the normal course of business, including claims related to breach of contracts, product liabilities and intellectual property matters resulting from the Company’s business activities. As with most actions such as these, an estimation of any possible and/or ultimate liability cannot always be determined. The following summaries highlight the current status of certain material commercial litigation in which the Company is involved.
On May 17, 2013 and on January 31, 2014 the Company received demand letters from the Environmental Research Corporation, “ERC” requesting substantiation of compliance with the State of California’s Proposition 65 regulations for ten of its products. In October, while the Company was awaiting the results of the compliance testing, ERC contacted the Company again requesting settlement to their initial demand letter. And in February 2014, before compliance testing or any other demand letter validation was completed, ERC contacted the Company again requesting settlement to their second demand letter. After many discussions with ERC, a lawsuit was filed by ERC for the non-compliance issues with the State of California’ Proposition 65 regulations. After many conversations and mediation attempts, both parties have agreed to a settlement, which has been approved by the iSatori Board of Directors. The documents are currently being generated for presentation to the California Court. Once accepted by the court, settlement amounts will be paid. This action is expected to happen in Q1 or Q2 2015. The Company believes this settlement of the lawsuits is in the best interest of iSatori and are not material to the business. Settlement amounts have been accrued into FY 2014 and are reflected in this 10K report.
On March 24, 2014 the Company received a summons in a civil action filed by Wise Sports Nutrition, LLC claiming alleged trademark infringement for iSatori’s, Garcinia Trim product. Company counsel has made contact with the plaintiff’s attorney and filed a response to the alleged trademark infringement with the Company’s counterclaims. The Company believes the counterclaims have strong merit and are pursuing their defense. Both parties have prepared responses and presented them to the court. The court has recently ruled in favor of iSatori and its filing of a motion for summary judgment. As a result of this ruling the trademark has been ruled as “descriptive” and therefore not eligible for trademark assignment. iSatori has been contacted by the former plaintiff in this case to discuss a favorable settlement with iSatori. Settlement discussions will get underway promptly. The Company believes now that a favorable condition exists for settlement but it is too early in the settlement proceedings to make a determination of the outcome. Therefore, no range of any possible gain or loss can be reasonably estimated as of the date of the financial statements.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the financial results and condition of iSatori, Inc. (collectively, “we,” “us,” “our,” “iSatori” or the “Company”) for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth elsewhere in this report. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”.
Overview
iSatori is a consumer products firm who develops and sells proprietary nutritional products in the sports performance, weight loss and energy markets through on-line marketing, distributors and thousands of retail stores domestically and around the world. iSatori became a publically traded company on June 29, 2012. iSatori is headquartered in Golden, Colorado and its stock symbol is “IFIT.”
Recent Developments
Following an industry wide downturn in diet/weight reduction sales in the second half of 2014, the Company moved to aggressively reorient its focus on sports fitness products, where it was experiencing the most significant growth opportunities. Even prior to the downturn, iSatori had recognized the opportunities for growth in the sports fitness arena, led by its invention and patent-pending “Bio-active Peptides,” and had begun developing plans to exploit this potentially explosive revenue opportunity. Beginning in 3Q 2014, the Company moved to expedite its planned product introductions in this market and sped up its product development cycles surrounding new product entries for the Company.
During the fourth quarter of 2014, iSatori added to its Energize brand with a new 5-day (10 tablet count) size blister-pack sold into Walgreens during December 2014. This “trial size” is expected to increase trial by new customers and includes a $1 off coupon for them to return to the retailer to purchase the larger sized product.
In line with its increased focus on the sports nutrition segments of its business, in January of 2015, the Company introduced two products to complement its growing Bio-Gro product line within in sports nutrition assortment. Pre-Gro™ is a pre-workout powder designed to deliver a high energy, muscle-building workout experience. Fortified with iSatori’s own patent-pending creation, clinically tested Bio-Gro™ Bio-Active Peptides and HydroMax® patented, stabilized glycerol to provide a noticeable muscle pump effect, combined of which will help users trigger new muscular growth from a more intense workout. Pre-Gro™ currently is available in four flavors (Artic Blue Razz, Delicious Fruit Punch, Cherry Limeade, and Lemon Drop Supreme) and more are anticipated to be released during the year. Distribution for Pre-Gro was secured for the Company’s primary channels, such as GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, Vitamin World, Europa Sports Wholesalers, Bodybuilding.com and other retailers and international markets will be shipped as product is made available. The second product innovation from iSatori, Hyper-Gro™ is a lean muscle mass gainer shake mix that contains an exclusive 5-Phase Instantized Protein Blend with beef protein isolate as its number one source. Hyper-Gro™ is also fortified with clinically tested Bio-Gro™ Bio-Active Peptides to help maximize lean muscle growth, without adding fat weight. Hyper-Gro™ is currently available in four flavors (Chocolate Cream, Smooth Vanilla, Strawberry Swirl, and Cookies & Cream), with more flavors to be added during the year as well. Distribution for Hyper-Gro was similar to Pre-Gro and all primary channels were secured and more retailers and international markets are planned for the remainder of the year as more product becomes available. Initial response to the new PRE-GRO and HYPER-GRO products has exceeded projections for the Company and even after the initial launch shipments in January 2015. iSatori has now back-logged $1.4-million in orders waiting
14
to be filled with future production runs. The Company expects to fill those product order back logs prior to the end of 1Q 2015, and into 2Q 2015.
New Distribution Customers. In January 2015, iSatori partnered in distribution with Sportika Export (based in Connecticut) the largest U.S. dietary supplement exporter in the world. Lead by industry veterans Richard White and Barry Griffing, with their expertise in export of sports supplements and wide distribution into over 130+ countries, the Company expects to gain new international distribution in the coming year through this new, exciting channel.
In February 2015, the Company shipped the opening orders of its Energize 28-count tablet to CVS Health drug stores for national distribution. The Company also received initial purchase orders from Rite-Aid drug stores for their Energize product in February, which would expand distribution in Rite-Aid drug stores, from partial to full national distribution. These customer acquisitions will increase iSatori’s retail footprint by adding over 11,000+ retail stores to its domestic distribution – increasing the Company’s ACV (all commodity volume, a measure of maximum retail distribution volume) from 18.6% to 34.1%, which includes such current retail distribution as Walmart, Walgreens, Super Value, Meijer, and other food, drug and mass retailers.
New and More Functional Warehouse & Distribution Center. In January 2015, the Company officially “cut the ribbon” on its 17,426 square foot warehouse and distribution center, located in Denver, Colorado. The facility is occupied under a four year lease, and will allow the Company to house all its finished goods under one facility. New machinery also allows the Company to bundle and package promotions, internally, and thereby reduce incurred expenses normally paid for these services. The new warehouse and distribution center is expected to decrease overall costs to the company by removing outside warehousing cost and reducing long-distance and intermittent freight expense back and forth. In conjunction with the move, a new freight agreement with a major carrier was executed to add additional cost savings to the in-direct COGS. We believe that the full implementation of the warehouse and distribution center will increase efficiencies in fulfillment, reduce overall transit and freight costs, and improve the customer experience.
Major Celebrity-Athlete Endorsement Deal. In January 2015, iSatori signed a multi-year endorsement agreement with one of the industry’s biggest influencers, C.T. Fletcher. With his nearly 2-million followers in various social media outlets, CT is known as the “master of motivation” as he accepts no excuses for not putting in the hard work and transforming your body, which are shared core values of iSatori. The Company expects that this partnership will increase brand awareness, and consumption of iSatori products, through his wide reach and influence on YouTube, where CT has close to 800,000 subscribers, and his videos have had more than 72,000,000 views since he joined YouTube in late January 2013. CT Fletcher will make a series of special retail and trade show appearances throughout the year on behalf of iSatori and the Company is excited about the new endorsement deal which should yield dividends for the brand’s equity over time.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013
Revenues
Our net revenues decreased $1 million or 9% to $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $10.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Gross revenues decreased 4% or $0.45 million to $12.17 million compared to $12.62 million. The majority of the decrease in revenues is in the diet and weight loss category, which experienced a temporary lull in the third and fourth quarters, primarily due to the lack of consumer confidence in diet aids after a popular television doctor drew criticism by congress for his unabated support of these types of supplements. Augmenting the decline in net revenues even further, were the delay in production and launch of two new products, which were anticipated for December and thus delayed until Q1-2015. This decrease in revenues was partly offset by growth in Bio-Gro revenues, which increased 158% from the previous year.
15
Adjustments to revenues for retailer advertising discounts, returns, promotional credits and coupons) increased approximately 26% to $2.66 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $2.11 million for the same period in 2013. The majority of this increase can be attributed to approximately $582 thousand in product returns due to a shift in a retail partner’s focus in that product category.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales, which includes product costs, costs of warehousing and distribution, and freight costs increased $41 thousand, or less than 1% to $4.73 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $4.69 million for the same period in 2013. However, as a percentage of net product revenues, cost of sales increased 5%, to 50% compared to 45% the previous year. This increase can be attributed to the shift in the product mix sold, which includes several items sold in promotional type configurations to help drive purchases, but carry a lower margin.
Operating Expenses
Selling and Marketing
Selling and Marketing expenses decreased $621 thousand or 21% to $2.35 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $2.97 million for the same period in 2013. Marketing expenses decreased by $732 thousand with the largest variance in television advertising, as tactics have shifted from television to online digital advertising and social media forums. Selling expenses have increased $174 thousand during 2014 with the addition of the outside sales representatives to augment key selling markets. R&D has decreased $63 thousand, with the majority of the variance in clinical studies. While both years had studies performed, the costs of the study in 2014 was less based on participants, duration, and study guidelines.
Salaries and Labor Related Expenses
Salaries and labor related expenses increased $258 thousand or 12% to $2.50 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $2.24 million for the same period in 2013. This increase can be attributed to the addition of employees, including the higher costs of benefits and taxes.
Administration
Administrative expenses decreased $504 thousand or 32% to $1.08 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to approximately $1.59 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease in expenses can be attributed to the reduction in expense related to professional fees over the two periods, along with minimal warrant/option expense related to Investor Relations contractors during 2014, which was $16 thousand compared to $300 thousand for the 2013.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and Amortization expense decreased $17 thousand or 17% to $79 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $95 thousand for the same period in 2013. This reduction between periods is due to end of the depreciable life of a piece of software, offset by the depreciation expense of new assets acquired during the year.
Other Income
For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized $301 thousand in Other Income, which included income of approximately $43 thousand related to the marketable securities held by the Company which the company acquired as a result of the Merger and $318 thousand related to the change in the value of derivative instruments. This income is offset by $60 thousand in expense for negotiated settlements.
16
For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized $74 thousand in Other Income, which included income of approximately $116 thousand related to the marketable securities held by the Company which the company acquired as a result of the Merger and $143 thousand related to the change in the value of derivative instruments. This income is offset by $185 thousand in expense for negotiated settlements.
Financing Expenses
Financing expenses decreased $23 thousand or -29% to $56 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $79 thousand for the same period in 2013. The 2013 expense is related to higher credit card fees associated with various internet auto ship offers running during that timeframe. There are no similar offers running during 2014.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $17 thousand or 52% to $50 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $33 thousand for the same period in 2013. Interest expense for 2014 was $9 thousand more than 2013, however there was an additional $8 thousand in interest income realized in 2013 when the Company cashed in a short term investment.
Loss before income taxes
As a result of the foregoing, loss before income taxes was a loss of $892 thousand, or -9% of net product revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to a loss of $956 thousand or -9% of net product revenues for the same period in 2013.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense was $279 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to an income tax expense of approximately $3 thousand for the same period in 2013. 2013. Of this, expense of $201 thousand for 2014 and income of $18 thousand for 2013 was related to the change in the provision for deferred tax asset/liability. The 2014 expense includes $57 thousand as an adjustment for income tax receivable, along with a nominal foreign tax paid on royalty income received and other state taxes paid. The 2013 benefit from the deferred tax provision was partially offset by the nominal foreign tax paid on royalty income received by the Company and a final federal payment on previous year taxes.
Net Loss
As a result of the foregoing, the Company incurred a net loss of $1.170 million, which amount is equal to -12% of net product revenues for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to a net loss of $959 thousand, which amount is equal to -9% of net product revenues for the same period in 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Position
iSatori requires significant amounts of working capital to operate its business and to pay expenses relating to the development, testing and marketing of its products. iSatori’s traditional use of cash includes primarily making significant expenditures to market new and existing products, as well as the financing of clinical studies for discovering new, efficacious products and providing necessary substantiation for claims iSatori makes concerning its current products and paying third parties to manufacture and distribute iSatori products.
iSatori’s cash and cash equivalents, consisting primarily of deposits with financial institutions, was $739 thousand at December 31, 2014, compared with $823 thousand at December 31, 2013.

If iSatori is unable to achieve projected operating results and/or obtain additional financing if and when needed, it will be required to curtail growth plans and significantly scale back its activities.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Roles of our Compensation Committee and Chief Executive Officer in Compensation Decisions, Use of Compensation Consultants and Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
The Company strives to attract, motivate, and retain high-quality executives by providing total compensation that is performance-based and competitive within the labor market in which the Company competes for executive talent as a public company in a very specialized industry. Our compensation program is intended to align the interests of management with the interests of stockholders by linking pay with performance, thereby incentivizing performance and furthering the ultimate objective of improving stockholder value.
Base salary amounts of executive officers are reviewed annually. The Compensation Committee sets the base salary level of our Chief Executive Officer, and, based on input from the Chief Executive Officer, of the other executive officers.
The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain and terminate compensation consultants or other experts to assist the Committee in its evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer, his compensation or the compensation of any of the other executive officers.
Bonus Pool
Pursuant to the terms of our employment agreement with Mr. Adelé, we are obligated to set 8% of our annual net income before taxes above a set hurdle rate aside for a bonus pool to be distributed to our management team at the discretion of the Compensation Committee upon input from our Chief Executive Officer. During fiscal 2013, the hurdle rate was 9%. The hurdle rate rose to 10% for fiscal 2014. The bonus can be accrued and paid on a quarterly basis with 70% paid and the remaining 30% carried to year end. The Company did not achieve the hurdle rate for fiscal 2014 or fiscal 2013.
Pension and Retirement Plans
We do not provide any of our executive officers with pension benefits, deferred compensation or other similar plans other than a tax qualified 401(k) defined contribution plan in which an executive officer is able to participate on the same terms as those offered to other employees, subject to plan qualification rules that limit or prohibit such participation by highly compensated employees. We have not made any employee matching contributions to our 401(k) plan since its adoption.
Employment Agreement with our Chief Executive Officer
On February 17, 2012, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Stephen Adelé effective upon consummation of the Merger (the “Employment Agreement”). Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Adelé’s annual base salary is set at $225,000. In addition, Mr. Adelé, is eligible to earn a bonus based upon the financial performance of the Company above established hurdle rates. The term of the Employment Agreement is one year, commencing on the April 5, 2012, and is renewable annually thereafter. Mr. Adele’s current employment agreement runs through April 5, 2015, with no change to the salary or bonus structure.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
iSatori, Inc.
Golden, Colorado
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of iSatori, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of iSatori, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2014 and 2013
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Nature of Business
iSatori,Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on June 29, 2012. The trading symbol of the Company on OTCBB is “IFIT”.
The Company is engaged in researching, designing, developing, contracting for the manufacture, marketing, selling and distributing of various branded nutritional and dietary supplement products for the general nutrition market. The “general nutrition market” may include such activities as body-building, physique enhancement (increase of lean body mass and decrease in fat mass) and enhanced athletic performance through increased strength and/or endurance and proper nutrition.
The Company does engage from time to time in funding of clinical studies with the objective of discovering and/or validating claims of new, efficacious products for the Company’s relevant market as well as providing necessary and appropriate substantiation for any claims which the Company may use in its marketing and advertising. The Company markets products which are under its control and which are in some way proprietary to the Company. Some of the Company’s products are the subject of trademarks owned by the Company.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis of accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The accompanying financial statements present the financial position and results of operations of the Company.
Financial Instruments
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Accordingly, cash and cash equivalents consist of petty cash, checking accounts and money market funds.
Fair Value Measurements
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820-10 establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities and requires additional disclosure about fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal (or most advantageous market) for the asset or liability in than orderly transaction between market participants at the measure date.
The Company has a number of financial instruments, including cash, receivables, inventory, payables and debt obligations. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, the line of credit and notes payable approximates their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. As further described in Note 7 the Company has issued warrants which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and result in a long-term derivative liability on the balance sheet. The actual and estimated fair values, respectively, of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| December 31, 2014 | | December 31, 2013 |
| Carrying Value | | Fair Value | | Carrying Value | | Fair Value |
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 738,725 | | $ | 738,725 | | $ | 822,876 | | $ | 822,876 |
Accounts Receivables | $ | 925,506 | | $ | 925,506 | | $ | 2,398,178 | | $ | 2,398,178 |

Derivative liability | $ | 152,849 | | $ | 152,849 | | $ | 471,015 | | $ | 471,015 |
F-6
Trade Receivables and Credit Policy
Trade receivables are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment generally within 10-60 days from the invoice date. Accounts are considered delinquent when outstanding for more than seven days past due date. The Company does not have a policy of accruing interest on past due accounts. Payments on trade receivables are applied as instructed per the customer, or to the earliest unpaid invoices. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents an estimate of amounts considered uncollectible and is determined based on management’s historical collection experience, adverse situations that may affect the customer’s ability to repay, and prevailing economic conditions. Specific accounts deemed uncollectible are written off periodically with subsequent receipts on previously written off accounts credited to bad debt expense. The allowance for doubtful accounts is $0 for each of the periods ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Receivables at each of the below respective periods consisted of the following:
| | | | | |
| December 31, 2014 | | December 31, 2013 |
Trade Receivables | $ | 951,396 | | $ | 2,323,522 |
Other | $ | (25,890) | | $ | 74,656 |
Allowance for doubtful accounts | $ | (0) | | $ | (0) |
Totals | $ | 925,506 | | $ | 2,398,178 |
In addition, the Company has recorded an allowance for customer returns in the amount of approximately $85,000 at December 31, 2014 and $70,000 at December 31, 2013 in accrued expenses.
Inventory Valuation
Inventories of nutritional and dietary supplements are stated at lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis as noted below:
| | | | | |

Notes Receivable
The Predecessor Company disposed of a dormant product line of vitamins in December 2010. As part of the consideration in this divestiture, the Company received from the purchaser of this product line an unsecured note in the amount of $ 170,000. The original note was due to be repaid on or before March 2014, where interest accrued principally at an annual rate of 5%, based upon the initial $170,000 principal and was payable monthly. As of March 31, 2013, the note was novated and a new promissory note was issued to reflect a modification in the payment terms, which includes no interest. The total note receivable balance at December 31, 2014 was $81,634, and is due to be repaid in monthly increments through May 1, 2017.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation for financial accounting purposes is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of the respective assets, ranging from three to ten years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are thereafter removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is credited or charged to income. Total depreciation expense was $65,774 and $83,450 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
F-7
Other Assets and Intangible Assets
Other assets include intangible assets which are principally direct television advertising, websites, as well as deposits and are included in Deposits and other Assets. The Company periodically performs reviews of other assets including amortizable intangible and depreciable tangible assets, for impairment purposes using undiscounted cash flow methodology. Factors considered important that may trigger an impairment of assets review include, but are not necessarily limited to: significant changes in the manner of the use of its assets involving its strategy for its overall business; significant negative industry or economic trends; or underperforming business trends. These reviews may include an analysis of the Company’s current operations and capacity utilization in conjunction with an analysis of the markets in which the Company’s business is operating.
Intangible assets are discussed below. Amortization for financial accounting purposes is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets which range from three to ten years. Amortization for 2014 and 2013 totaled $12,800 and $11,698, respectively.

Revenue Recognition
The Company operates predominantly as a distributor of its dietary supplement products through traditional large retailers and electronic intermediaries. Revenue from product sales is recognized upon transfer of title of the Company’s product to its customers. Net sales represent product sales less actual returns, allowances, discounts, and product promotions. Sales to direct customers have an unconditional money back guarantee for thirty to ninety days after the date of purchase. Sales to a select number of retail customers carry a “Sale or Return” Purchase agreement per the sales contract, where if minimum sales thresholds are not met within a required timeframe, the inventory will be returned to the Company for full credit. Other retail customers receive a percentage discount from invoice to cover any customer returns or damages they may incur. Returns, trade allowances, discounts and product promotions, were $2,656,122 and $2,114,060 for the years ending December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
In addition, the Company provides allowances for sales returns based upon estimated and known returns. Product returns are recorded as a reduction of net revenues and as a reduction of the accounts receivable balance.
The Company receives other revenues which includes but is not limited to shipping and handling charges which is charged to customers.
Cost of Sales
The Company purchases its products directly from third party manufacturers. The Company’s cost of sales include product costs, including any associated materials used in production, cost of warehousing and distribution. Included in the cost of sales are transit freight shipping and handling costs that are incurred by the Company.
F-8
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. See Note 6, “Income Taxes”.
Since 2012 was the Company’s initial tax year, there are no prior federal or state tax returns subject to examination. Accordingly, the only taxable periods subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities are the periods ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. Federal and state tax returns for the Company prior to the short form merger are open for the period ended December 31, 2011.
Leases
The Company leases its headquarters facility the “headquarters lease”, comprising approximately 10,044 square feet, in Golden (metropolitan Denver), Colorado. The total rent expense under the headquarters lease for each of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $82,863. The lease term expires January 31, 2017 and requires equal monthly payments over the remaining term. Future payments under the headquarters lease are $172,632.
On November 1, 2014, the Company entered into a lease for approximately 17,026 square feet in Denver for its warehouse operations (the “warehouse lease”. The total rent expense under the warehouse lease for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $0. The lease term expires on December 31, 2018 and calls for inflation-adjusted increasing payments over the remaining term. Future payments under the warehouse lease are $374,658.
The Company also leases miscellaneous office and warehouse equipment. In most cases, management expects that in the normal course of business these leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases as applicable.
Future Payments

2015 | | $ | 169,993 |
2016 | | $ | 174,350 |
2017 | | $ | 102,748 |
2018 | | $ | 100,199 |
Total | | $ | 547,290 |
Marketing
The Company expenses all production costs related to advertising costs as they are incurred, including print, digital and television when the advertisement has been broadcast or otherwise finished and or distributed. The Company records website costs related to its direct-to-consumer advertisements in accordance with ASC 340-20 “Capitalized Advertising Costs”. In accordance with ASC 340-20, direct response advertising costs incurred should be reported as assets and should be amortized over the estimated period of the benefits, based on the proportion of current period revenue from the advertisements to probable future revenue. As of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had deferred $0 and $7,651 respectively, related to such advertising costs. This amount was included in Deposits and other assets and was amortized over a one year period. Total Marketing expenses for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, totaled $1,500,362 and $2,232,548, respectively.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs, which include the funding of clinical research studies, as well as creation and development of new products, are expensed when incurred. Research and development costs of $99,676 and $162,297 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, are included in selling and marketing expense.
F-9
Distribution, Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping costs on purchases and shipping and handling fees related to sales charged to customers are both included in cost of sales. As mentioned in Revenue Recognition, shipping and handling revenue billed customers are reflected in other revenues.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments and trade accounts receivables. Concentrations of credit with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company’s customer bases and their dispersion across different geographic locations.
The Company maintains cash balances at one financial institution located in Colorado and one in California. Accounts at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000 per account. At times during the year, the Company’s bank balances have exceeded the FDIC limit. Management believes the risk of loss at such institutions to be minimal.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, sales to three customers made up 57% of total product revenue, with each customer representing greater than 10% of product revenue on an individual basis. These customers’ combined accounts receivable balances were 51% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2014. During the year ended December 31, 2013, sales to three customers made up 58% of total product revenue, with each customer representing greater than 10% of product revenue on an individual basis. These customers’ combined accounts receivable balances were 73% of total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2013.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, purchases from three vendors made up 63% of total inventory purchases. These vendors’ combined accounts payable balances were 44% of total accounts payable as of December 31, 2014. During the year ended December 31, 2013, purchases from two vendors made up 57% of total inventory purchases. These vendors’ combined accounts payable balances were 17% of total accounts payable as of December 31, 2013.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include but are not limited to the fair value determination of derivative instruments, NOL allowance, sales returns allowance, allowance for notes receivable and the realizable value of inventories.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) less preferred dividends for the period by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) less preferred dividends for the period by the weighted average number of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period.
Since the Company reflected a net loss for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the effect of considering any common stock equivalents, if exercisable, would have been anti-dilutive. A separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented.
The Company has the following common stock equivalents as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:
| | | | |
| | 2014 | | 2013 |
In the money stock options | | 593,081 | | 669,963 |
In the money warrants | | 420,549 | | 928,881 |
Total common stock equivalents | | 13,689,208 | | 13,862,892 |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern. The objective of ASU 2014-15 is to provide guidance on management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016, and annual and interim periods thereafter. The Company is currently evaluating impact of the adoption of this standard and do not expect it to have a significant impact on its financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, which establishes a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard designed to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies may need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current revenue recognition guidance. The ASU allows for the use of either the full or modified retrospective transition method, and the standard will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2017 unless a deferral for adoption is provided by the FASB; early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating which transition approach to use and the impact of the adoption of this standard on its financial statements.
Note 2 - Endorsement / Spokesperson / Consulting Agreements
The Company is obligated under various endorsement, spokesperson and consulting agreements with varying original terms ranging from six months to one year. These endorsers, spokespersons and consultants are generally paid a monthly fee for their services, including promotion and marketing activities per the agreements. All of these agreements may be terminated by either party upon breach or default in the terms of the agreements. The Company expensed $102,650 and $161,950 under these agreements in 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Future payments of the above mentioned contracts will run through 2015, for a total expense of $18,000.
Note 3 - Retirement Plan
Eligible employees may enroll in a company-sponsored 401(k) plan. New enrollees are able to join the plan in the calendar quarter in which they become eligible. The Company may also make a match at its discretion. During calendar years 2014 and 2013, there were no matches under this plan made by the Company.
Note 4 - Contingencies
In accordance with the accounting standards on contingencies, the Company accrues a loss contingency if it is probable and can reasonably be estimated or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements. If both of these conditions are not met, or if an exposure to loss exists in excess of the amount accrued, disclosure of the contingency shall be made when there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss or an additional loss may have been incurred. The Company is exposed to legal claims encountered in the normal course of business. See Note 5, “Litigation”. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the operating results or the financial position of the Company.
Note 5 - Litigation
The Company is engaged in various legal actions, claims and proceedings arising in the normal course of business, including claims related to breach of contracts, product liabilities and intellectual property matters resulting from the Company’s business activities. As with most actions such as these, an estimation of any possible and/or ultimate liability cannot always be determined. The following summaries highlight the current status of certain material commercial litigation in which the Company is involved.
F-11
On May 17, 2013 and on January 31, 2014 the Company received demand letters from the Environmental Research Corporation, “ERC” requesting substantiation of compliance with the State of California’s Proposition 65 regulations for ten of its products. In October, while the Company was awaiting the results of the compliance testing, ERC contacted the Company again requesting settlement to their initial demand letter. And in February 2014, before compliance testing or any other demand letter validation was completed, ERC contacted the Company again requesting settlement to their second demand letter. After many discussions with ERC, a lawsuit was filed by ERC for the non-compliance issues with the State of California’ Proposition 65 regulations. After many conversations and mediation attempts, both parties have agreed to a settlement, which has been approved by the iSatori Board of Directors. The documents are currently being generated for presentation to the California Court. Once accepted by the court, settlement amounts will be paid. This action is expected to happen in second quarter of 2015. The Company believes this settlement of the lawsuits is in the best interest of iSatori. Settlement amounts have been accrued into FY 2014 and are reflected in this 10K report.
On March 24, 2014 the Company received a summons in a civil action filed by Wise Sports Nutrition, LLC claiming alleged trademark infringement for iSatori’s, Garcinia Trim product. Company counsel has made contact with the plaintiff’s attorney and filed a response to the alleged trademark infringement with the Company’s counterclaims. The Company believes the counterclaims have strong merit and are pursuing their defense. Both parties have prepared responses and presented them to the court. The court has recently ruled in favor of iSatori and its filing of a summary judgment. As a result of this ruling the trademark has been ruled as “descriptive” and therefore not eligible for trademark assignment. iSatori has been contacted by the former plaintiff in this case to discuss a favorable settlement with iSatori. Settlement discussions will get underway promptly. The Company believes now that a favorable condition exists for settlement but it is too early in the settlement proceedings to make a determination of the outcome. Therefore, no range of any possible gain or loss can be reasonably estimated as of the date of the financial statements.
Note 6 - Income Taxes
For the years ended December 31 2014, and 2013, the Company recognized income tax expense of $278,697 and $2,828, respectively.
At December 31, 2014 and 2013, management believes there are no uncertain tax liabilities. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax (benefit)/expense. No interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were accrued at December 31, 2014 or 2013.
The Company files income tax returns in U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. There are currently no federal or state income tax examinations underway for these jurisdictions. The 2014 tax year remains open to examination by taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
Income tax provision for the periods December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 consists of the following:

As of December 31, 2014, the Company has federal and state income tax net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards of $2,031,303 which will expire at various dates from 2032 through 2034. The NOLs are projected to expire as follows:
| | | |
2032 | | $ | 434,814 |

NOL from Predecessor Company
At December 31, 2014, approximately $8.208 million of net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes and approximately $8.208 million of net operating loss carry forwards for state income tax purposes, existed and were previously generated by a predecessor company. The Tax Reform Act of 1986 contains provisions that limit the utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards if there has been a change of ownership as described in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. According to a preliminary analysis performed by the Company, it was determined that these net operating loss carry forwards would not currently be available for utilization by the Company. As such, these net operating loss carry forwards which had previously been 100% allowed for, have been removed from the deferred tax assets. The availability of the net operating loss carry forwards may be analyzed further in future accounting periods. If a positive determination is made, the net operating loss carry forwards might then be reported as deferred tax assets of the Company.
NOL from iSatori
Based upon past financial performance, the company has not been able to utilize certain NOL carry forwards. In recognition of this risk, at December 31, 2014, and 2013, a valuation allowance of $844,543 and $410,140, respectively, has been recognized on the deferred tax assets relating to the net operating loss carry forwards. Should future financial performance change and it is determined the Company can realize the use of these net operating losses, the appropriate tax expense and equity adjustments will be made.
In addition to the valuation allowance offsetting the deferred tax assets arising from net operating loss carry forwards, at certain other deferred tax assets at December 31, 2014 have been reduced by a valuation allowance for the amount of any tax benefits which, more likely than not based on current circumstances, are not expected to be realized. Should the Company achieve sufficient, sustained income in the future, some or all of the valuation allowances may be reversed.
Note 7 - Stockholders’ Equity
At December 31, 2014, there were 12,909,278 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, outstanding for the Company.
Warrants
As of December 31, 2014, there were common stock warrants outstanding to purchase aggregate shares of common stock pursuant to the warrant grants described below.
On July 15, 2011 the Company issued warrants, now totaling 420,549 shares, to purchase 3% of fully diluted shares of the common stock of the Company to Breakwater Structured Growth Opportunity Fund, L.P., (the “Breakwater warrant”) with an imputed exercise price equal to approximately one-hundredth of a dollar in connection with a $1.025 million subordinated mezzanine loan arrangement. These warrants are fully vested and expire on June 15, 2016.
Included in the aforementioned Breakwater warrant, was an obligation by the Company to, among other things, honor an irrevocable put right through which the Company agreed to purchase up to the 3% of fully diluted shares of its common stock underlying the warrant, which expires on July 15, 2016. Upon completion of the Merger, the irrevocable put right was removed.
F-14
The Company used a lattice model in developing a fair value for the Breakwater warrant obligation at December 31, 2014, using a quoted stock value of $.375 per share, which represents a discount of 50% from the closing stock price. This reduction was based on the application of a discount for lack of liquidity. Other assumptions used in the valuations include (a) risk free interest rate of .67% based on duration, (b) weighted average expected term in years of 1.58, (c) weighted average expected stock volatility of 37.13%, (d) expected dividends of 0% (e) stock price movements ranging from 1.053 to .950 and (f) risk neutral probabilities ranging from .488 to .512. These valuations resulted in net income of $318,166 and in the Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2014. In addition, as of June 28, 2013, $87,755 was reclassified to additional paid in capital from derivative liability due to the exercise of a prior warrant, and revaluations resulted in net income of $143,082 in the Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Effective January 1, 2013, the Company entered into a one year agreement, subject to quarterly cancellation at the Company’s sole discretion, with Microcap Headlines, Inc. In connection with this agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.25 per share (the “Microcap warrants”). These warrants were subject to conditional vesting schedule in one-fourth (quarterly) increments, subject to the Company’s sole discretion. The first increment was granted and fully vested on January 1, 2013, the second increment was granted and fully vested on April 1, 2013, the third increment was granted and fully vested on July 1, 2013, and the fourth increment was granted and fully vested on October 1, 2013. These vested warrants expire on January 1, 2018.
Effective July 16, 2013, the Company entered into a business consulting agreement with Optivest Global Partners, LLC. In connection with this agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.25 per share (the “Optivest warrants”). These warrants are fully vested and expire July 16, 2018. These warrants will be assignable and transferable, at Optivest’s discretion.
The fair value of the Microcap and Optivest warrants were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
The Black-Scholes assumptions used when the warrants were issued are as follows:
| | | |
| FY 2013 | |
Exercise price | $ | 2.25 | |
Expected dividends | | 0 | % |
Expected volatility | | 45.95-48.97 | % |
Risk fee interest rate | | 0.72-1.42 | % |
Expected life | | 5 years | |
Expected forfeiture | | 0 | % |
The Company assumed the 1,069,587 outstanding warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock which were issued by Integrated in fiscal years 2009 and before. Of these, 17,230 expired on July 29, 2012 and the remainder expired on May 31, 2014.

2012 Performance Incentive Plan
On September 27, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2012 Performance Incentive Plan (the Plan”). The Plan allows the Company to promote the success of the Corporation and to increase stockholder value by providing an additional means through the grant of awards to attract, motivate, retain and reward selected employees and other eligible persons. Any stock option granted in the form of an incentive stock option will be intended to comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. Only stock options granted to employees qualify for incentive stock option treatment. A stock option may be exercised in whole or in installments, which may be cumulative. Shares of common stock purchased upon the exercise of a stock option must be paid for in full at the time of the exercise in cash or such other consideration determined by the compensation committee. Payment may include tendering shares of common stock or surrendering of a stock award, or a combination of methods.
The Plan is administered by the Plan Administrator, being the Board or one or more committees appointed by the Board or another committee (within its delegated authority) to administer all or certain aspects of this Plan. The Administrator has full and exclusive power within the limitations set forth in the Plan to make all decisions and determinations regarding the selection of participants and the granting of awards; establishing the terms and conditions relating to each award; adopting rules, regulations and guidelines; and interpreting the Plan.
On January 2, 2014, the Company issued options to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to an employee with an exercise price of $2.50 per share and which contained three year vesting schedules of 1/3 each year through October 2016. These options were due to expire on October 15, 2023. In September 2014, upon termination of employment prior to vesting, these options were forfeited.
On February 10, 2014, the Company issued options to purchase 6,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to an employee with an exercise price of $2.22 per share and which contain three year vesting schedules of 1/3 each year through February 2017. These options were due to expire on February 10, 2024. In December, 2014, upon termination of employment prior to vesting, these options were forfeited.
On September 17, 2013, the Company issued options to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company stock to an employee, having an exercise price of $2.10, and which contain three year vesting schedules of 1/3 each year through September 2015. These options are due to expire on September 17, 2023.
F-16
The Company applied fair value accounting for all share based payment awards. The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The total valuation of the options granted in 2014 was $3,363. Due to their forfeiture prior to vesting, expense of $747 recognized in previous quarters of 2014 was reversed within subsequent periods of 2014, for a net expense of $0 related to 2014 grants for the year ended December 31, 2014. The total valuation of the options granted in 2013 was $30,985, which is being expensed over the three year vesting period. The expense recognized related to these options for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $10,328. The Black-Scholes assumptions used when the options were issued are as follows:
| | | | | | | |
| | FY 2014 | | | | FY 2013 | |
Exercise price | $ | 2.22-2.50 | | | $ | 2.10 | |

In addition to the above, for the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company has recognized $12,619 in share based compensation expense arising from the amortization of option awards granted prior to January 1, 2013.
Stock Awards
On July 10, 2014, the Company issued 5,603 shares of restricted stock to members of its board of directors. On September 23, 2014, the Company issued 4,098 shares of restricted stock to a new member of its board of directors. On October 28, 2014, the Company issued 7,738 shares of restricted stock to members of its board of directors. On November 13, 2014, the Company issued 4,688 shares to a new member of its board of directors. The Company is amortizing total expense related to these issuances over the restriction period which is equivalent to the directors’ one-year term. The Company has recorded share based compensation expense due to these issuances of $16,568 for the year ended December 31, 2014. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company has amortized prior expense of $9,212 to equity related to grants of restricted stock made prior to January 1, 2014.
On April 1, 2014, the Company issued 7,500 shares of its $.01 par value common stock to a business development consultant. The Company considered the fair value of the shares issued to be the most reliable measure of compensation to the consultant. At the time of issuance, the Company’s stock price was $2.17 per share, and therefore the issuance resulted in $16,275 of share based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Note 8 - Convertible Preferred Stock
In connection with the Merger, the Company assumed into its capital structure the convertible stock originally issued by Integrated. Accordingly, at December 31, 2014, the Company’s convertible preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, consisted of the following:
| | | | | | | |
| Par Value | | Shares Outstanding | | Liquidation Preference |
Series A $20 | $ | 95 | | 9,500 | | $ | 190,000 |
Series D $20 | | 130 | | 13,000 | | | 260,000 |
| $ | 225 | | 22,500 | | $ | 450,000 |
Series A $20 Convertible Preferred Stock. At December 31, 2014, the Company had 9,500 shares of its Series A $20 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred”) outstanding. Holders of the Series A Preferred are not entitled to receive any dividends, and have no voting rights unless otherwise required pursuant to Delaware law. Each share of the Series A Preferred may, at the option of the Company, be converted into the equivalent of one-fifth (1/5th) of a share of common stock at any time after (i) the closing bid price of the common stock is at least $2.00 for at least 20 trading days during any 30 consecutive trading day period, and (ii) the shares of common stock to be received on conversion have been registered or otherwise qualified for sale under applicable securities laws. The holders of the Series A Preferred have the right to convert each share into the equivalent of one-fifth (1/5th) of a share of common stock at any time. Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Series A Preferred are entitled to receive $20 per share before the holders of common stock are entitled to receive any distribution. In the event the Company enters into any consolidation, merger or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or other securities, each share of Series A Preferred will at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed into such consideration as is equal to four times the amount of consideration to be received for each share of common stock.
Series D $20 Convertible Preferred Stock. At December 31, 2014 the Company had 13,000 shares of its Series D $20 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred”) outstanding. Holders of the Series D Preferred are entitled to receive, out of funds of the Company legally available, dividends at the annual rate of $1.80 per annum per share.
The Company may redeem the Series D Preferred upon not less than 30 days’ notice, in whole or in part, for an amount of $20 per share plus all accrued but unpaid dividends applicable to such share. After notice and prior to the expiration of the 30-day notice period, holders of the Series D Preferred will have the option to convert the Series D Preferred into common stock prior to the redemption. Each share of the Series D Preferred may, at the option of the Company, be converted into the number of shares of common stock as determined by dividing $20 plus any accrued and unpaid dividends on such share by $80 at any time after (i) the closing bid price of the common stock exceeds $200.00 for 20 consecutive trading days, and (ii) the Company has sustained positive earnings per share of common stock for the two previous fiscal quarters. The holders of the Series D Preferred have the right to convert each share at any time into the number of shares of common stock as determined by dividing $20 plus any accrued and unpaid dividends on such share by $80. The holders of the Series D Preferred are entitled to receive $20 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends on such share before the holders of common stock are entitled to receive any distribution. In the event the Company enters into any consolidation, merger or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or other securities, each share of Series D Preferred will at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed into the aggregate amount of stock as would have been received had the holder converted such shares immediately prior to the transaction.

The Company entered into a renewed and expanded Credit Agreement with Colorado Business Bank West of Denver, Colorado on August 27, 2014. Borrowings under this agreement will be used to provide ongoing working capital and for other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries.
F-18
The agreement provides a revolving commitment to the Company of $2,000,000. Amounts outstanding under the agreement will be reflected in a promissory note with a principal balance of $2,000,000 and a maturity date of November 16, 2015 (the “Promissory Note”). The principal balance on the Promissory Note bears interest at the one month USD LIBOR rate measured not more often than once per month (the “Index”). Interest on any unpaid balance under the promissory note will bear interest at the Index plus 3.75% with a minimum interest rate of 4.00% per annum, and is payable monthly. The agreement requires the Company to comply with certain affirmative covenants, including a minimum current ratio of 1.5 to 1, a maximum leverage ratio of 2 to 1, and minimum tangible equity capital of $2,750,000 through November 30, 2014, and $3,000,000 thereafter, as well as providing limitations on dividends, additional indebtedness, and certain other changes.
On January 7, 2015, Colorado Business Bank provided the Company with notice of a non-monetary event of default concerning the Company’s violation of the minimum tangible equity capital covenant set forth in the loan agreement. On March 17, 2015, iSatori reached a preliminary agreement with their primary banking institution, Colorado Business Bank ("CoBiz"), in which the loan agreement and covenants will be modified and the Company will no longer be in forbearance. iSatori and CoBiz have agreed on the principal terms of the arrangement and are currently awaiting documentation from their respective legal teams. The Company has, and will continue to, enter into discussions with certain material vendors, offering early pay discounts to improve the timing of accounts receivable collection. In addition, the Company has, and will continue to, enter into discussions with certain material suppliers concerning extended credit terms to improve the flexibility of the Company's cash management program. These actions, combined with the pending agreement with CoBiz, will help ensure the Company's liquidity and compliance with its loan covenants.
The Company’s prior line of credit with Colorado Business Bank West of Denver, Colorado provided a revolving commitment to the Company in the amount of $1,500,000 and was in effect since its inception on July 16, 2012 and subsequent renewal on October 16, 2013 through the date of the renewal and expansion on August 27, 2014. Other terms of the former credit agreement were the same as those of the renewed and expanded credit agreement described above.
The outstanding balance on the Company’s revolving line of credit as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $1,620,519 and $1,220,655, respectively.
Note 10 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
The Company follows ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities that are observable for the asset or liability; or
Level 3: Unobservable pricing inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations.
ASC 820 requires financial assets and liabilities to be classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
F-19
For the purposes of marketable securities where there is an active market, the Company uses the quoted prices available for the identical asset or liability. As of December 31, 2013, $108,228 assets held for sale valued using the Level 1 mark-to-market approach. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had $34,979 assets held for sale valued using the Level 1 mark-to-market approach.
The inputs used in the fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 include the stock price at the valuation date, the exercise price of the warrant, the expected period of time the warrant will be outstanding, the annual volatility of the underlying stock price, the annual yield rate of quarterly dividends, and the risk free rate of interest relevant to the expected time period the warrant will be outstanding.
The following table represents the Company’s warrant derivative liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy:
