Explanatory Note

 

On May 14, 2012, MusclePharm Corporation's (the "Company") independent registered public accounting firm and the Company's board of directors (the "Board") determined, after consultation with Company management that the Company's unaudited financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2011, filed in a quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on May 23, 2011, contained certain material misstatements. Our financial statements contained in this amended quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A restate a previous [error] in accounting for the Company's calculation of net sales and presentation of general and administrative expenses. The Company has determined that advertising related credits that were granted to customers fell within the guidance of ASC No. 605-50-55 ("Revenue Recognition" - Customer Payments and Incentives - Implementation Guidance and Illustrations).

 

T he foregoing guidance indicates that, absent evidence of benefit to the vendor, appropriate U.S. GAAP treatment requires netting these types of payments against gross revenues and not as advertising expense. The Company also noted other credits and discounts that, upon further review, had been previously classified as advertising expense as a component of general and administrative expense that require a reallocation of presentation as amounts to be netted against gross revenues. Additionally, for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company reclassified certain items classified as samples originally included as an advertising expense to cost of sales. There were no such reclassifications for 2010.

 

The Company previously deducted certain credits and promotions as general and administrative expenses. After a thorough analysis and review as noted above, the Company has determined to net any credits and promotions directly against gross sales instead of classifying the same amounts as an advertising expense. Because this accounting change is a reclassification of expenses in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations, the Company's net loss will not be affected by the restatement, nor does the restatement affect the net loss amounts reported in this unaudited quarterly financial statements. The financial statements contained herein have been restated solely for 2011.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation (Restated)

 

Nature of Operations

 

MusclePharm Corporation (the “Company”, or “MP”), was organized as a limited liability company in the State of Colorado on April 22, 2008. On February 18, 2010, the Company executed a reverse recapitalization with Tone in Twenty, Inc. and changed its name to MusclePharm Corporation.

 

The Company markets branded sports nutrition products.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information.

 

The financial information as of December 31, 2010 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

 

Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.

 

Restatement

 

On May 14, 2012, the Company determined that a material misstatement exists in the Company’s 2011 quarterly and 2011 and 2010 annual financial statements. The Company concluded that the following financial statements contained material misstatements: (i) the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, filed in an annual report on Form 10-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 16, 2012; (ii) the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed in an annual report on Form 10-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 1, 2011; (iii) the Company’s unaudited financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2011, filed in a quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the SEC on November 14, 2011; (iv) the Company’s unaudited financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2011, filed in a quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the SEC on August 16, 2011; and (v) the Company’s unaudited financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2011, filed in a quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the SEC on May 23, 2011.

 

The foregoing financial statements contained material misstatements pertaining to the Company’s calculation of net sales and presentation of general and administrative expenses and cost of sales. The Company has determined that advertising related credits that were granted to customers fell within the guidance of ASC No. 605-50-55 (“ Revenue Recognition” – Customer Payments and Incentives – Implementation Guidance and Illustrations) . The guidance indicates that, absent evidence of benefit to the vendor, appropriate treatment requires netting these types of payments against revenues and not expensing as advertising expense. The Company also noted other credits and discounts that, upon further review, had been previously classified as advertising expense as a component of general and administrative expense that require a reallocation of presentation as amounts to be netted against revenues. The Company’s net loss and loss per share will not be affected by this reallocation in the statement of operations. Additionally, for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company reclassified certain items classified as samples originally included as an advertising expense to cost of sales. There were no such reclassifications for 2010.

 

Promotions, credits and non-specific advertising with its customers have been reclassified from general and administrative expenses to revenues.

 

Samples shipped to customers not clearly identifiable were reclassified from general and administrative expense to cost of sales.

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions impact, among others, the following: the fair value of share-based payments, fair value of derivative liabilities, estimates of the probability and potential magnitude of contingent liabilities and the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets due to continuing operating losses.

 

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from our estimates.

 

Risks and uncertainties

 

The Company operates in an industry that is subject to rapid change and intense competition. The Company's operations will be subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, regulatory and other risks, including the potential risk of business failure.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at March 31, 2011 and at December 31, 2010.

 

The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits.

 

As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had cash in bank accounts which exceeded the federally insured limits by $96,741 and $0, respectively.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable represents trade obligations from customers that are subject to normal trade collection terms. The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and considers the need to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical collection experience and specific customer information. Accordingly, the actual amounts could vary from the recorded allowances.

 

The Company does not charge interest on past due receivables. Receivables are determined to be past due based on the payment terms of the original invoices.

Accounts receivable at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

 

Accounts receivable  $2,123,286   $542,863 
Less: allowance for doubtful accounts   (102,301)   (116,102)
Accounts receivable – net  $2,020,985   $426,761 

 

The Company recorded bad debt expense of $0 and $1,889 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company recorded a bad debt recovery of $13,801 during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

 

At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had the following concentrations of accounts receivable with customers:

 

Customer  2011   2010 
A   34%   40%
B   14%   24%
C   11%   -%
D   10%   11%

 

Inventory

 

At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company maintained finished goods inventory for apparel of $31,011 and $0, respectively, which was stated at the lower of cost or market. Costs were determined by the first-in first-out method.

 

At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company did not manufacture or physically hold any supplement inventory. Inventory is held and distributed by the Company’s co-manufacturers.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated to their estimated residual value over their estimated useful lives. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the assets and related accumulated depreciation are relieved from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are included in operating income in the statements of operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method for all property and equipment.

Website Development Costs

 

Costs incurred in the planning stage of a website are expensed, while costs incurred in the development stage are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as service discontinuance or technological obsolescence, indicate that the carrying amount of the long-lived asset may not be recoverable. When such events occur, the Company compares the carrying amount of the asset to the undiscounted expected future cash flows related to the asset. If the comparison indicates that an impairment is present, the amount of the impairment is calculated as the difference between the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset. If a readily determinable market price does not exist, fair value is estimated using discounted expected cash flows attributable to the asset.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.

 

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2: Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

 

The following are the major categories of liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, using quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

     2011   2010 
             
Derivative liabilities Level 2  $2,149,429   $622,944 

 

The Company's financial instruments consisted primarily of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid and other, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and short term debt. The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments generally approximated their fair values as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Revenue Recognition (Restated)

 

The Company records revenue when all of the following have occurred: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) product has been shipped or delivered, (3) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

 Depending on individual customer agreements, sales are recognized either upon shipment of products to customers or upon delivery. For one of our largest customers, which represents 9% of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011, revenue is recognized upon delivery.

 

The Company has determined that advertising related credits that were granted to customers fell within the guidance of ASC No. 605-50-55 (“ Revenue Recognition” – Customer Payments and Incentives – Implementation Guidance and Illustrations) .. The guidance indicates that, absent evidence of benefit to the vendor, appropriate treatment requires netting these types of payments against revenues and not expensing as advertising expense.

 

The Company records store support, giveaways, sales allowances and discounts as a direct reduction of sales. The Company recorded reductions to gross revenues totaling approximately $637,279 and $112,314 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

 

           March      
    March           31,     March  
    2011           2011     31,

Sales - Net   $ 3,517,774     $ 483,838     $ 3,033,936     $ 1,258,588  

 

The Company has an informal 7-day right of return for products. However, there were nominal returns for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

 

At March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had the following concentrations of revenues with customers:

Cost of Sales (Restated)

 

Cost of sales represents costs directly related to the production and manufacturing of the Company’s products.

 

Cost of sales increased by $77,326 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to a reclassification from advertising expense to cost of sales due to our restatement.

Beneficial Conversion Feature

 

For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a "beneficial conversion feature" ("BCF") and related debt discount.

 

When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF would be recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument. The discount would be amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.

 

Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had derivative liabilities in the amounts of $2,149,429 and $622,944, respectively.

Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount

 

The Company may pay debt issue costs, and record debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of convertible debt. These costs are amortized over the life of the debt to interest expense. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

 

Original Issue Discount

 

For certain convertible debt issued, the Company provides the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount is recorded to debt discount and additional paid in capital at an amount not to exceed gross proceeds raised, reducing the face amount of the note and is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

Share-based payments

 

Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants, restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Share-based compensation awards issued to non- employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable.

 

Earnings per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

 

Since the Company reflected a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, 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 at March 31, 2011 and 2010:

 

   2011   2010 
Stock options (exercise price - $0.50/share)   2,767,500    - 
Warrants (exercise price - $0.025 - $1.50/share)   16,310,000    - 
Convertible debt   46,504,410    2,202,000 
Total common stock equivalents   65,581,910    2,202,000 

 

In the above table, some of the outstanding convertible debt from 2011 and 2010 contains discount to market provisions that would cause variability in the exercise price at the balance sheet date. As a result, common stock equivalents could change at each reporting period.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain items in the 2010 unaudited financial statement presentation have been reclassified to confirm to the 2011 presentation. Such reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net loss or the balance sheet and statement of cash flows.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued updated guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. This update requires new disclosures on significant transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy (including the reasons for these transfers) and the reasons for any transfers in or out of Level 3. This update also requires a reconciliation of recurring Level 3 measurements about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis. In addition to these new disclosure requirements, this update clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements. For example, this update clarifies that reporting entities are required to provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities rather than each major category of assets and liabilities. This update also clarifies the requirement for entities to disclose information about both the valuation techniques and inputs used in estimating Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. This update will become effective for the Company with the interim and annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2010, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will become effective for the Company with the interim and annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2011. The Company will not be required to provide the amended disclosures for any previous periods presented for comparative purposes. Other than requiring additional disclosures, adoption of this update will not have a material effect on the Company's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2010, the FASB issued an exposure draft on lease accounting that would require entities to recognize assets and liabilities arising from lease contracts on the balance sheet. The proposed exposure draft states that lessees and lessors should apply a “right-of-use model” in accounting for all leases. Under the proposed model, lessees would recognize an asset for the right to use the leased asset, and a liability for the obligation to make rental payments over the lease term. The lease term is defined as the longest possible term that is “more likely than not” to occur. The accounting by a lessor would reflect its retained exposure to the risks or benefits of the underlying leased asset. A lessor would recognize an asset representing its right to receive lease payments based on the expected term of the lease. Comments on this exposure draft were due by December 15, 2010 and the final standard is expected to be issued in the second quarter of 2011. The Company believes that the proposed standard, as currently drafted, will have neither a material impact on its reported financial position and reported results of operations, nor a material impact on the liquidity of the Company.

In August 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, or ASU 2010-05, which amends ASC 820 to provide clarification of a circumstance in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available. A reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following methods: 1) a valuation technique that uses a) the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or b) quoted prices for similar liabilities (or similar liabilities when traded as assets) and/or 2) a valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of ASC 820. ASU 2010-05 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to adjust to include inputs relating to the existence of transfer restrictions on that liability. The adoption did not have a material impact on our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements

 

In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations . This ASU requires a public entity to disclose pro forma information for business combinations that occurred in the current reporting period. The disclosures include pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the annual reporting period. If comparative financial statements are presented, the pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the comparable prior reporting period should be reported as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the current year had been as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. ASU 2010-29 affects any public entity as defined by Topic 805 that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis. ASU 2010-29 is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-29 to have an effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Note 3 Going Concern and Liquidity

 

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $5,011,922 and net cash used in operations of $868,808 for the three months ended March 31, 2011; and a working capital deficit and stockholders’ deficit of $3,530,722 and $2,130,839, respectively, at March 31, 2011. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on Management's plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, sale of aged debt to third parties in exchange for free trading stock, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The Company may need to incur liabilities with certain related parties to sustain the Company’s existence.

 

The Company will require additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. The Company believes its current available cash along with anticipated revenues may be insufficient to meet its cash needs for the near future. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

 

In response to these problems, management has taken the following actions:

 

seeking additional third party debt and/or equity financing,

 

continue with the implementation of the business plan,

 

increase product prices as well as reducing discounts and free samples,

 

obtain manufacturing agreements which provide for lower production costs,

 

generate new sales from international customers; and

 

allocate sufficient resources to continue with advertising and marketing efforts

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company recorded a derivative expense for $1,359,369 during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

 

The fair value at the commitment and remeasurement dates were based upon the following management assumptions:

 

    Commitment Date     Remeasurement Date  
Expected dividends     0 %     0 %
Expected volatility     150-180 %     180 %
Expected term: conversion feature   0.50 – 3 years     0.06 – 3 years  
Risk free interest rate     0.11% - 2.76 %     0.11 – 1.16 %

(B) Stock Options

 

On February 1, 2010, the Company's board of directors and shareholders approved the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan ("2010 Plan"). The 2010 Plan allows the Company to grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights to key employees and directors of the Company or its subsidiaries, consultants, advisors and service providers. 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 Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Only stock options granted to employees qualify for incentive stock option treatment. No incentive stock option shall be granted after February 1, 2020, which is 10 years from the date the 2010 Plan was initially adopted. 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 2010 Plan will be administered by the compensation committee. The compensation committee has full and exclusive power within the limitations set forth in the 2010 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 2010 Plan. The Compensation Committee will determine the appropriate mix of stock options and stock awards to be granted to best achieve the objectives of the Plan. The 2010 Plan may be amended by the Board or the compensation committee, without the approval of stockholders, but no such amendments may increase the number of shares issuable under the 2010 Plan or adversely affect any outstanding awards without the consent of the holders thereof. The total number of shares that may be issued shall not exceed 5,000,000, subject to adjustment in the event of certain recapitalizations, reorganizations and similar transactions.

 

On April 2, 2010, the Company's board of directors authorized the issuance of 2,767,500 stock options, having a fair value of $630,990, which was expensed immediately since all stock options vested immediately. These options expire on April 2, 2015.

 

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 Black-Scholes assumptions used in the year ended December 31, 2010 is as follows:

 

Exercise price  $0.50 
Expected dividends   0%
Expected volatility   74.8%
Risk fee interest rate   1.4%
Expected life of option   2.5 years

A settlement, of $96,783, was reached on November 10, 2010. During 2010, the Company repaid $25,000, leaving a remaining balance of $71,783 due to factor. In January 2011, the Company paid $10,000.

 

At March 31, 2011, the Company no longer factors its accounts receivable.

 

On February 28, 2011, the remaining $65,930, inclusive of fees and interest, was settled with the issuance of 2,187,666 shares of common stock, having a fair value of $126,885 ($0.058/share), based upon the quoted closing trading price (Note 7(A)). The Company recorded a loss on this debt settlement of $60,955.

 

(B)Litigations, Claims and Assessments

 

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm its business.

The Company is currently aware of the following legal proceeding that they believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse affect on its business, financial condition or operating results:

 

On December 22, 2010, the Company became involved in a business dispute with a manufacturer, seller and distributor of their product line (the “manufacturer”) regarding their respective obligations. The parties settled their dispute in private mediation. As a result of the settlement, the Company agreed to pay a maximum of $425,000. The Company issued 511,509 shares in 2010 of common stock having a fair value of $100,000 (See Note 9(B)). Although stayed by court order, case will not be officially dismissed until May 21, 2011, after the Company satisfies the settlement with the manufacturer. The Company has been granted a 30 day extension to June 21, 2011.

 

Note 9 Subsequent Event

 

On April 18, 2011, the board of directors approved authorized an increase in authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 150,000,000 to 500,000,000 and authorized the 10,000,000 shares of blank-check preferred stock

 

Conversion of Debt and Common Stock Payable and Accrued Interest

 

During the period April 1, 2011 to May 23, 2011, noteholders converted common stock payable and notes as follows:

 

   Quantity         
Common stock payable   9,717,821   $329,000    $0.025 - $0.043 
Convertible debt   5,279,476   $157915    $0.027 - $0.030 
Total   14,997,297   $486,915      

 

Issuance of Convertible Debt

 

The Company issued convertible notes totaling $649,900. These notes had the following provisions:

 

Interest rate 8% - 12%,

Notes are due between 20 days and 3 years from issuance,

 

Conversion rates equal to a variable percentage by applying a specified formula that utilizes the average of quoted closing prices; and

Unsecured

 

The investor is entitled at its option to convert all or part of the principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price as discussed above. The Company classified the embedded conversion feature as a derivative liability due to management’s assessment that the Company may not have sufficient authorized number of shares of common stock required to net-share settle. The Company will compute the fair value of these instruments using a black-scholes option pricing model.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

This report and other reports filed by our Company from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, our management as well as estimates and assumptions made by our management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to us or our management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our current view with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

 

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period – basic and diluted     146,560,444       26,113,000  

 

Sales (restated)

 

Sales were approximately $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to $1.3 million for the comparable three months ended March 31, 2010. The significant increase in sales was primarily attributable to increased brand awareness. Since inception, the Company has focused on an aggressive marketing plan to penetrate the market. As a direct result of the aggressive marketing plan, our products are currently being offered in more retail stores, both domestic and international, and our products are receiving better shelf placement.

 

Gross Profit (restated)

 

Gross profit percentage decreased from 31% during the three months ended March 31, 2010 to 21% during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in the gross profit percentage is primarily attributable to the restatement of advertising expenses as a discount to be netted with gross revenues of $483,838 and samples of $77,326 shipped to customers not clearly identifiable reclassified to cost of sales.

 

General and Administrative Expenses (restated)

 

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011, were $1,719,627, as compared to $2,636,612 for the comparable three months ended March 31, 2010. The $916,985 decrease is mainly attributable to a substantial decrease in stock based compensation of $435,866 and the restatement of advertising expenses as a discount to be netted with gross revenues of $561,164 and non clearly identifiable samples reclassified from general and administrative expenses and added to cost of sales. The major decrease in stock based compensation was offset by a slight increase in employee compensation. The Company’s employee headcount increased from 12 employees during the three months ended March 31, 2010, to 15 employees during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

 

Loss from Operations

 

Loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011, was $1,087,225 as compared to $2,251,656 for the comparable three months ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in operating loss is primarily attributable to the aggressive marketing plan and the Company’s ability to gain brand recognition resulting in increased sales during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010.

 

Other expenses

 

Other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011, were $3,924,696, as compared to $358,060 for the comparable three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in other expenses of $3,566,636 is primarily attributable features associated with the financing transactions the Company entered into during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The Company issued $1,482,000 in convertible notes during the three months ended March 31, 2011. These notes bore interest at rates ranging from 8% to 12% per annum. Interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2010, increased approximately $161,000 as compared to the comparable three months ended March 31, 2010. In addition, the convertible notes contained embedded derivatives, due to the Company not being able to determine the number of shares needed to settle the conversion priveledge. As a result, on the commitment date of each financing, the Company recorded an aggregate derivative expenses of $1,359,369 and on the date of remeasurement, which is March 31, 2011, a change in fair market value of $131,717. There were no derivative liabilities recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

  

28
 

 

The Company also issued shares of the Company’s common stock to satisfy aged accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt. The Company recorded a loss on settlement in the amount of $1,914,689 as a result of these transactions.

 

Net Loss

 

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011, was $5,011,922 or loss per share of $(0.03), as compared to $2,609,716 or loss per share of $(0.10) for the comparable three months ended March 31, 2010.

 

Inflation did not have a material impact on the Company’s operations for the period. Other than the foregoing, management knows of no trends, demands, or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The following table summarizes total current assets, liabilities and working capital at March 31, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010.

 

   March 31,
2011
(unaudited)
   December 31,
2010
(audited)
   Increase/Decrease 
Current Assets  $3,135,697   $1,406,310   $1,729,387 
Current Liabilities  $6,666,419   $4,215,649   $2,450,770 
Working Capital (Deficit)  $(3,530,722)  $(2,809,339)  $(721,383)

 

As March 31, 2011, we had a working capital deficit of $3,530,722, as compared to a working capital deficit of $2,809,339, at December 31, 2010, a decrease of $(721,383). The decrease is primarily attributable to the Company issuing $1,482,000 in convertible notes during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The Company continues to devote significant resources to continue aggressively market the product line.

 

Net cash used for operating activities for the three months ended March 31 2011 and 2010 was $(868,808) and $(605,628), respectively. The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $(5,011,922) and $(2,609,716), respectively.

 

Net cash used for investing activities for the three months ended March 31 2011 and 2010 was $(253,823) and $(650), respectively. The Company purchased gym and office equipment during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

 

Net cash obtained through all financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $1,412,300, as compared to $606,278 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

 

Going Concern

 

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $5,011,922 and net cash used in operations of $868,808 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, and a working capital deficit and stockholders’ deficit of $3,530,722 and $2,130,839, respectively, at March 31, 2011. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on Management's plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, sale of aged debt to third parties in exchange for free trading stock, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The Company may need to incur liabilities with certain related parties to sustain the Company’s existence.

 

29
 

 

The Company will require additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. The Company believes its current available cash along with anticipated revenues may be insufficient to meet its cash needs for the near future. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

 

In response to these problems, management has taken the following actions:

 

seeking additional third party debt and/or equity financing;

 

continue with the implementation of the business plan;

 

increase product prices as well as reducing discounts and free samples;

 

obtain manufacturing agreements which provide for lower production costs;

 

generate new sales from international customers; and

 

allocate sufficient resources to continue with advertising and marketing efforts.

 

Financings

 

Our primary source of operating cash has been through the sale of equity and through the issuance of convertible secured promissory notes and other short term debt as discussed below.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company raised gross proceeds of $677,000 through the sale of (10 day to 90 day) convertible notes at a conversion price of the average 10 day trade pricing divided by 200% of outstanding principal balance. The notes bear interest at a rate of 8%.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company raised gross proceeds of $100,000 through the sale of (1 year) convertible notes at a conversion price of $0.03 per share. The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 6%.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company raised gross proceeds of $130,000 through the sale of (9 months to 1 year) convertible notes at a conversion price of 60% of the average of the lowest three closing prices in the ten days preceding a conversion date. The notes bear interest at annual rates of between 8% - 10%.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company raised gross proceeds of $100,000 through the sale of (1 year) convertible notes at a conversion price of $0.03 per share. The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 6%.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company raised gross proceeds of $50,000 through the sale of (9 months to 1 year) convertible notes at a conversion price of 65% of the average of the lowest three closing prices in the 30 days preceding conversion. The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 8%.

 

The Company continues to explore potential expansion opportunities in the industry in order to boost sales, while leveraging distribution systems to consolidate lower costs. The Company needs to continue to raise money in order execute the business plan.

 

30
 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Other than the operating leases, as of March 31, 2011, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The Company believes the following accounting policies are critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its financial statements:

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable represents trade obligations from customers that are subject to normal trade collection terms. The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and considers the need to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical collection experience and specific customer information. Accordingly, the actual amounts could vary from the recorded allowances.

 

The Company does not charge interest on past due receivables. Receivables are determined to be past due based on the payment terms of the original invoices.

 

Revenue Recognition (Restated)

 

The Company records revenue when all of the following have occurred: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) product has been shipped or delivered, (3) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Depending on individual customer agreements, sales are recognized either upon shipment of products to customers or upon delivery. The Company records sales allowances and discounts as a direct reduction of sales. The Company has determined that advertising related credits that were granted to customers fell within the guidance of ASC No. 605-50-55 (“ Revenue Recognition” – Customer Payments and Incentives – Implementation Guidance and Illustrations) . The guidance indicates that, absent evidence of benefit to the vendor, appropriate treatment requires netting these types of payments against revenues and not expensing as advertising expense

 

The Company has an informal 7-day right of return for products. However, there were nominal returns for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

 

Beneficial Conversion Feature

 

For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a “beneficial conversion feature” (“BCF”) and related debt discount.

 

When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF would be recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument. The discount would be amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.

 

Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount

 

The Company may pay debt issue costs, and record debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of convertible debt. These costs are amortized over the life of the debt to interest expense. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

 

Original Issue Discount

 

For certain convertible debt issued, the Company provides the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount is recorded to debt discount and additional paid in capital at an amount not to exceed gross proceeds raised, reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

Share-based payments

 

Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants, restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Share-based compensation awards issued to non- employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. This update requires new disclosures on significant transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy (including the reasons for these transfers) and the reasons for any transfers in or out of Level 3. This update also requires a reconciliation of recurring Level 3 measurements about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis. In addition to these new disclosure requirements, this update clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements. For example, this update clarifies that reporting entities are required to provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities rather than each major category of assets and liabilities. This update also clarifies the requirement for entities to disclose information about both the valuation techniques and inputs used in estimating Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. This update will become effective for the Company with the interim and annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2010, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will become effective for the Company with the interim and annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2011. The Company will not be required to provide the amended disclosures for any previous periods presented for comparative purposes. Other than requiring additional disclosures, adoption of this update will not have a material effect on the Company's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2010, the FASB issued an exposure draft on lease accounting that would require entities to recognize assets and liabilities arising from lease contracts on the balance sheet. The proposed exposure draft states that lessees and lessors should apply a “right-of-use model” in accounting for all leases. Under the proposed model, lessees would recognize an asset for the right to use the leased asset, and a liability for the obligation to make rental payments over the lease term. The lease term is defined as the longest possible term that is “more likely than not” to occur. The accounting by a lessor would reflect its retained exposure to the risks or benefits of the underlying leased asset. A lessor would recognize an asset representing its right to receive lease payments based on the expected term of the lease. Comments on this exposure draft were due by December 15, 2010 and the final standard is expected to be issued in the second quarter of 2011. The Company believes that the proposed standard, as currently drafted, will have neither a material impact on its reported financial position and reported results of operations, nor a material impact on the liquidity of the Company.

 

In August 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, or ASU 2010-05, which amends ASC 820 to provide clarification of a circumstance in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available. A reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following methods: 1) a valuation technique that uses a) the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or b) quoted prices for similar liabilities (or similar liabilities when traded as assets) and/or 2) a valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of ASC 820. ASU 2010-05 also clarifies that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to adjust to include inputs relating to the existence of transfer restrictions on that liability. The adoption did not have a material impact on our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. This ASU requires a public entity to disclose pro forma information for business combinations that occurred in the current reporting period. The disclosures include pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the annual reporting period. If comparative financial statements are presented, the pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the comparable prior reporting period should be reported as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the current year had been as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. ASU 2010-29 affects any public entity as defined by Topic 805 that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis. ASU 2010-29 is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-29 to have an effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.

 

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(a) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(c) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in report that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 

 

(b) CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

This company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the issuer’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

1.           Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the issuer;

 

2.           Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the issuer are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the registrant; and

 

3.           Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the issuer’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is appropriately recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods.

 

Management has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2011 based on the framework established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).

 

Based on this assessment, management concluded that as of May 2012 it had material weaknesses in its internal control procedures.

 

The Company’s assessment identified certain material weaknesses which are set forth below:

 

Functional Controls and Segregation of Duties

 

Because of the company’s limited resources, there are limited controls over information processing, and insufficient internal controls over the accuracy, completeness and authorization of transactions.

 

There is an inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. Our company’s management is composed of a small number of individuals resulting in a situation where limitations on segregation of duties exist. In order to remedy this situation we would need to hire additional staff to provide greater segregation of duties. Currently, it is not feasible to hire additional staff to obtain optimal segregation of duties. Management will reassess this matter in the following year to determine whether improvement in segregation of duty is feasible.

 

Accordingly, as the result of identifying the above material weaknesses we have concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company’s internal controls.

 

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above were the result of the scale of our operations and are intrinsic to our small size. Management believes these weaknesses did not have a material effect on our financial results and is actively working to take remedial actions.

  

We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to us by preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

 

(1) We will continue to update the documentation of our internal control processes, including formal risk assessment of our financial reporting processes.

 

(2) Retain staff to assist in financial and accounting controls.

 

Subsequent to December 31 2011, we have undertaken the following steps to address the deficiencies stated above:

 

· Continued the development and documentation of internal controls and procedures surrounding the financial reporting process, primarily through the use of account reconciliations, and supervision.

 

33
 

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our PEO and PFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon that evaluation, the PEO and PFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.

 

(c) Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

 

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within MusclePharm have been detected.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
