PART I

ITEM 1.

BUSINESS.

Overview

As Seen On TV, Inc. (“ASTV”, “we”, or the “Company”) is a direct response marketing company and owner of AsSeenOnTV.com and eDiets.com. We identify, develop and market consumer products for global distribution via TV, Internet and retail channels. Following our February 2013 acquisition of eDiets.com, Inc. (“eDiets”), our business is organized along two segments. The As Seen On TV (“ASTV”) segment is a direct response marketing company that identifies and advises in the development and marketing of consumer products. The eDiets segment is a subscription-based nationwide weight-loss oriented digital subscription service, and, until our discontinuance of the meal delivery component in September 2013, provided dietary and wellness oriented meal delivery services. In fiscal 2014, the ASTV and eDiets segments represented approximately 62% and 38%, respectively, of our annual net revenues. In fiscal 2013, the ASTV and eDiets segments represented approximately 92% and 8%, respectively, of our annual net revenues. Our fiscal 2013 net revenues included one month revenues from eDiets’ of approximately $794,000.

Since closing the acquisition of eDiets, we have begun implementing internal changes which, when completed, will permit us to operate as a combined organization, utilizing common information and communication systems, operating procedures, financial controls and human resources practices. Furthermore, as discussed below, subsequent to the period covered by this report and effective April 2, 2014, we completed the acquisition of Infusion Brands, Inc.

Subsequent Events

Infusion Merger

On April 2, 2014, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Infusion Merger Agreement”) with Infusion Brands International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“IBI”), Infusion Brands, Inc. (“Infusion” or “Infusion Brands”), a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of IBI, and ASTV Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Effective April 2, 2014. ASTV Merger Sub, Inc. merged with and into Infusion, with Infusion continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Infusion Merger”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Infusion Merger Agreement the Company issued to IBI 452,960,490 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Infusion common stock. As a result, IBI became the majority shareholder of the Company, owning approximately 85.2% of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of the date of the Infusion Merger and 75% of Company’s outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis. Pursuant to the terms of the Infusion Merger Agreement, the Company also agreed to increase the size of its board of directors from 5 to 7, to cause three of its existing directors to resign and to appoint 5 new persons, designated by IBI, to the Company board of directors. Kevin Harrington, Randolph Pohlman and Ronald C. Pruett, Jr. resigned from the Company’s board of directors and Robert DeCecco, Shadron Stastney, Dennis W. Healey, Mary Mather and Allen Clary were appointed to the Company’s board of directors. Mr. Clary subsequently resigned in June 2014. Following these actions, the Company’s board of directors is now comprised of Mr. DeCecco, chairperson, Kevin A. Richardson, II, Greg Adams, Mr. Stastney, Mr. Healey and Ms. Mather.

Each of Ms. Mather and Messrs. DeCecco, and Stastney is party to an employment agreement with IBI, each of which was assigned to Infusion in connection with the Infusion Merger.

Under the Infusion Merger Agreement, the Company agreed to assume from Infusion all obligations for indebtedness for borrowed money of Infusion outstanding at the closing of the Infusion Merger and all agreements relating to that indebtedness. This indebtedness is primarily comprised of a Senior Secured Debenture issued to Vicis Capital Master Fund in the principal amount of $11,000,000, bearing interest at a rate of 6% until June 30, 2014, 9% from July 1, 2014 until June 30, 2015, and 12% from July 1, 2015 until the maturity date of June 30, 2016 (the “Senior Secured Debenture”). The Senior Secured Debenture is collateralized by all assets of the Company and guaranteed by each other Credit Party (as defined below), which guaranty will be collateralized by substantially all of the assets of those other Credit Parties. The Senior Secured Debenture is subject to customary covenants and events of default.

Pursuant to the terms of the Infusion Merger Agreement, IBI may require the Company to file a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of the Company’s common stock issued to IBI pursuant to the Infusion Merger. The Company has also agreed, at its cost and subject to certain limitations, to maintain the same level of director indemnification and insurance coverage as those in place for Infusion and IBI immediately prior to the Infusion Merger.

The Infusion Merger transaction was accorded reverse merger accounting treatment under the provision of Financial Accounting Standards Board, Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 805, whereby Infusion became the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and the Company (As Seen On TV, Inc.) was treated as the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). Accordingly, effective with the merger closing, the historical financial records of the Company are those of the accounting acquirer adjusted to reflect the legal capital of the accounting acquiree.

Infusion History and Business Summary

Infusion, formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of IBI, is a Nevada corporation organized in July 2008. IBI, currently our majority shareholder, is quoted on the Pink Sheets. Infusion is engaged in identifying affordable and demonstrable products to market through direct-to-consumer channels such as television infomercials, live shopping networks, and ecommerce channels. Its products are also sold through web sites operated by the live shopping networks that agree to carry its products and its own proprietary websites, such as www.infusionbrands.com and www.dualtools.com. Infusion’s principal product has been the DualSaw ™ with its patented counter rotating dual blade technology. Infusion has been operating at a loss since its inception.  

In addition, Infusion owns 100% of the membership interests of Ronco Funding LLC.  The sole assets of Ronco Funding LLC are a participation interest in the secured debt of Ronco Holdings, Inc. and an option to procure the remaining interest in such secured debt for an additional $2,350,000. Ronco Holdings is a Delaware company. Infusion also holds the right to designate the majority of the board of directors of Ronco Holdings. Its products include, but are not limited to the Showtime Rotisserie & BBQ, 5-Tray Electric Food Dehydrator, Veg-o-Matic, Smart Juicer and Pocket Fisherman. Due to the rights to the Ronco Holdings secured debt and control over the Ronco Holdings board of directors, for accounting purposes, Ronco Holdings is treated as a variable interest entity, and Infusion is the primary beneficiary.

As of April 2, 2014, the effective date of the merger, Infusion has 19 employees, all of which are full time, and Ronco Holdings has 15 employees, all of which are full time.

Note Purchase Agreement

Pursuant to a Senior Note Purchase Agreement dated as of April 3, 2014, by and among the Company, Infusion, eDiets.com, Inc., Tru Hair, Inc., TV Goods Holding Corporation, Ronco Funding LLC (collectively, the “Credit Parties”), and MIG7 Infusion, LLC (“MIG7” and such agreement, the “Note Purchase Agreement”), the Credit Parties sold to MIG7 a senior secured note having a principal amount of $10,180,000 bearing interest at 14% and having a maturity date of April 3, 2015 (the “MIG7 Note”). The MIG7 Note is subject to automatic extension for an additional 180-day period in the event that the Credit Parties have requested such extension in writing at least 60 days prior to the original maturity date, no event of default under the Note Purchase Agreement is then in existence, and the Company’s consolidated revenues, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and EBITDA for the 12 months immediately preceding the request equal or exceed $39,000,000 and $6,000,000, respectively. During such extension the MIG7 Note would bear interest at a rate of 15.5%. Funding of the amounts borrowed under the MIG7 Note was made in two tranches, with the first funding of $7,400,000 occurring on April 3, 2014, and the second funding, which resulted in funding of an aggregate gross amount of $10,180,000 under the Note Purchase Agreement, occurring on May 1, 2014.

Under the Note Purchase Agreement, MIG7 is entitled to two board observer seats on each Credit Party’s board of directors, and, upon the written request of MIG7, to the nomination of two individuals selected by MIG7 for election to the board of directors of each Credit Party as full voting members of such boards.

Under the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company also issued a warrant to purchase 4.99% of the common stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis, on the date of exercise, to MIG7 Warrant, LLC, an affiliate of MIG7, at any time on or before the maturity date of the Note at an exercise price of $0.001 per share. As of June 16, 2014, the warrant was exercisable to purchase up to 30,136,713 shares of common stock. The warrant expires on May 1, 2015, unless extended an additional six months in the event the MIG7 Note is extended.

The Note Purchase Agreement contains a number of covenants restricting, among other things, dividends, liens, redemptions of securities, debt, mergers and acquisitions, asset sales, transactions with affiliates, capital expenditures, and prepayments and modifications of subordinated debt instruments. The Note Purchase Agreement contains customary events of default as well as events of default for failing to achieve certain targets for consolidated revenues and consolidated EBITDA for the 2014 and 2015 calendar years. Among other remedies, upon an event of default MIG7 would be entitled to sweep and retain 65% of all cash deposited in the operating account of the Company until all obligations owing to MIG7 are paid in full.



2



 


The obligations of the Credit Parties under the Note are collateralized by substantially all of their respective assets under a Security Agreement between the Credit Parties and MIG7 and the Company has agreed to pledge the stock of all other Credit Parties that are corporations under a Pledge Agreement.

In connection with the Note Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, the Credit Parties, MIG7, and Vicis Capital Master Fund entered into an intercreditor agreement pursuant to which MIG7, and Vicis Capital Master Fund agreed among other matters to share priority under and allocation of amounts owing to each of them under the Senior Secured Debenture held by Vicis Capital Master Fund and under the MIG7 Note.

ASTV segment

ASTV generates revenues primarily from three channels: direct response sales of consumer products, sale of consumer products through a “live-shop” TV venue and ownership of the url, AsSeenOnTV.com, which operates as a web based outlet for our Company and other direct response businesses.

Inventors and entrepreneurs submit products or business concepts for our review. Once we identify a suitable product or concept, we negotiate to obtain marketing and distribution rights. These marketing and distribution agreements stipulate profit sharing, typically in the form of a royalty to the inventor or product owner. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have marketed several products with limited success.

Industry

Direct response marketing is a form of marketing designed to solicit a direct response which is specific and quantifiable. The delivery of the response is direct between the viewer and the advertiser, as the customer responds to the marketer directly. In direct response marketing, marketers use broadcast media to get customers to contact them directly. Cable networks represent the traditional conduit for direct response television programming. Historically, direct response television programming has aired on cable networks during off-peak periods. The deregulation of the cable television industry in 1984 and the resulting proliferation of channels dedicated to particular demographic units, pursuits or lifestyles have created additional opportunities for direct response programming. We believe the continued growth of satellite and cable subscribers has positioned direct response television as an effective marketing channel with significant domestic and international growth prospects.

The leading product categories for direct response television programs include:

·

cosmetics,

·

fitness/exercise products,

·

diet/nutrition products,

·

kitchen tools and appliances,

·

self-improvement/education/motivation courses, and

·

music and home videos/DVDs.

Typically direct response television programs incorporate an infomercial in either short form (30 seconds to five minutes) or long form (approximately 30 minutes) direct response programs. The formats discuss and demonstrate products and provide a toll-free number or website for viewers to purchase. Direct response television marketing can create rapid customer awareness and brand loyalty.

As the industry has developed, the variety of products and services promoted through direct response television programs has steadily increased. Direct response television programs are now routinely used to introduce new products, drive retail traffic, schedule demonstrations and build product and brand awareness for products ranging from automobiles to mutual funds.

Recent years have also seen a convergence of direct response television programs with Internet direct response marketing. Virtually all direct response television programs now display a website in addition to a toll-free telephone number. The addition of an ecommerce component can enhance sales. We believe the principal competitive factors include authenticity of information, unique content and distinctiveness and quality of product, brand recognition and price.

Product development and marketing

We provide resources to develop consumer products from initial concepts to global distribution. We do not manufacture products. We solicit product submissions through numerous sources including inventors, product owners, design companies, manufacturers, advertising and media agencies, production houses, and trade shows. We employ internal methodology utilizing several selection criteria to evaluate product submissions. Each product is graded on its internal system; points are awarded for various factors such as product design, application, target market, retail price, competitive products, and proprietary nature of the product. The selection process may include market tests in which the potential market demand for a product is quantified on the basis of its performance in certain test markets. Upon our acceptance, we attempt to negotiate exclusive marketing rights.

We design, create and produce direct response marketing campaigns primarily in the form of infomercial programming. We seek to maintain a low cost structure. We do not incur any expense for product research and development (excluding costs associated with our selection and testing process). We internally perform product testing, marketing development, media buying and direct response television production and outsource to third parties functions such as manufacturing, order processing and fulfillment. While there are no guarantees that a product will be successful, we believe that this allows us to reduce our risk by controlling variable costs.

We believe media exposure of a direct response television campaign can reduce barriers to gain access to retail outlets which can increase profitability for a consumer product. Viable consumer products possess customer awareness and brand loyalty. We seek to extend product lifecycles through other distribution channels such as home shopping channels and retail outlets. Thereafter, we seek to penetrate retail outlets which include the Internet, retail, catalog, radio and print.

Supply and distribution

We typically work with third party distributors, suppliers and manufactures on a per order basis. In the event that a manufacturer is unable to meet supply or manufacturing requirements at some time in the future, we may suffer short-term interruptions of delivery of certain products while we establish an alternative source. In most cases, alternative sources are readily available and we have established working relationships with several third party distributors, suppliers and manufacturers. We also rely on third party carriers for product shipments, including shipments to and from distribution facilities.

We have a contractual arrangement with a third party, Delivery Agent, LLC, under which Delivery Agent, LLC manages and fulfills all sales that take place over the internet of third party products on our website AsSeenOnTV.com. Under that arrangement, we do not recognize the total revenue from the transaction but rather Delivery Agent, LLC, pays us a fee calculated as a percentage of net product sales, defined as total sales of products and Orders On Demand (OOD) offers on the website, less amounts attributable to returns. In the direct response industry, purchased items are generally returnable for a certain period of time after purchase. We believe that our return experience is within the customary range for the direct response industry.

eDiets segment

eDiets develops and markets Internet-based diet and fitness programs primarily through the url eDiets.com. eDiets also offered, through September 2013, a subscription-based nationwide weight loss oriented meal delivery service. Digital diet plans are personalized according to an individual’s weight goals, food and cooking preferences, and include the related shopping lists and recipes. eDiets offers a variety of different digital diet plans, including internally developed plans and online personalized meal plans.

In addition to a digital diet plan, subscribers receive access to support offerings including interactive online information, communities and education as well as telephone and online support. Substantially all digital subscribers purchase programs via credit/debit cards, with renewals billed automatically on a monthly basis, until cancellation. eDiets also offers message boards on various topics of interest to its subscribers, online meetings presented by a dietitian and customer service representatives.

Industry

The weight loss industry in the U.S. is large and continues to grow. According to Marketdata Enterprises, Inc. in a 2011 report, eDiets’ particular segment, the online dieting market, was estimated to grow from approximately $990.0 million in 2010 to $1.2 billion in 2014. We believe the growing population of overweight and obese people who are motivated by both an increasing awareness of the health benefits of weight loss and the desire to improve their lives is driving the growth of weight-loss solutions. We also believe eDiets’ comprehensive and integrated digital weight-loss offerings provides eDiets with the products to well service this expanding market.

Marketing

eDiets advertises on its websites and in its email newsletters. Over the last few years eDiets’ cost to acquire subscribers through banner advertisements on the major online portals has risen as a result of rapidly rising online advertising rates. eDiets has responded by shifting an increasing percentage of its advertising budget to web-based ventures and paid search programs. eDiets typically experiences its weakest conversion rates during the fourth calendar quarter due to the November and December holiday season, and it moderates its advertising expenditures accordingly.

Competition

The direct response marketing industry is a large, fragmented and competitive industry. The United States direct response marketing industry has a diverse set of channels, including direct mail, telemarketing, television, radio, newspaper, magazines and others. The list of market leaders fluctuates constantly. Companies marketing popular products dominate the airwaves and control media time. Furthermore, established brick-and-mortar retail competitors have recently made efforts to sell products through direct response marketing channels. Several competitors, including All Star Marketing Group, Telebrand Corp. and Hampton Direct, Inc. are significantly larger and have greater financial resources than we do and may be able to devote greater resources for the development and promotion of their services and products. We believe the principal competitive factors include authenticity of information, unique content and distinctiveness and quality of product, brand recognition and price.

The eDiets segment faces significant competition. Its most significant competitor is www.weightwatchers.com, which is owned by Weight Watchers® International. eDiets also competes with privately-held Waterfront Media, Inc., which operates a variety of diet and self-help-oriented websites including www.southbeachdiet.com, and with the WebMD® Weight Loss Center operated by WebMD, Inc. Many of eDiets’ competitors are significantly larger and have greater financial resources than we do and may be able to devote greater resources for the development and promotion of their services and products. eDiets mainly competes in the areas of program efficacy, price, customer service and brand recognition.

Intellectual property

Our success depends on the goodwill associated with our trademarks and other proprietary intellectual property rights. We attempt to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights through a combination of trademark, copyright and patent law, trade secret protection and confidentiality agreements with our employees and marketing and advertising partners. We pursue the registration of our domain names, trademarks and service marks and patents in the United States and abroad.

We have received U.S. trademark registration with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the USPTO) for U.S. trademarks for “TV Goods” and PITCH TANK®.

A substantial amount of uncertainty exists concerning the application of the intellectual property laws to the Internet and there can be no assurance that existing laws provide adequate protection of proprietary intellectual property. The steps we take to protect our proprietary rights may not be adequate and third parties may infringe or misappropriate copyrights, trademarks, service marks and similar proprietary rights.

In addition to www.astvinc.com, www.asseenontv.com, www.ediets.com, www.infusionbrands.com, www.ronco.com and www.dualtools.com we own multiple domain names that we may or may not operate in the future. However, as with phone numbers, we do not have and cannot acquire any property rights in an Internet address. The regulation of domain names in the United States and in other countries is also subject to change. Regulatory bodies could establish additional top-level domains, appoint additional domain name registrars or modify the requirements for holding domain names. As a result, we might not be able to maintain our domain names or obtain comparable domain names, which could harm our business.

Government regulation

There is an increasing number of laws and regulations being promulgated by the United States government, governments of individual states and governments overseas that pertain to the Internet and doing business online. In addition, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals are under consideration by federal, state, local and foreign governments and agencies. Laws or regulations have been or may be adopted with respect to the Internet relating to:

·

liability for information retrieved from or transmitted over the Internet;

·

online content regulation;

clearly identify affiliations with third parties that may collect information or sponsor activities on a company’s website; and

·

obtain express parental consent prior to collecting and using personal identifying information obtained from children under 13 years of age.

These regulations also include enforcement and redress provisions. We have implemented programs designed to enhance the protection of the privacy of our visitors and comply with these regulations. However, the FTC’s regulatory and enforcement efforts may adversely affect its ability to collect personal information from visitors and customers and therefore limit its marketing efforts.

Due to the global nature of the Internet, it is possible that, although transmissions by our Company over the Internet originate primarily in the United States, the governments of other foreign countries might attempt to regulate our transmissions or prosecute us for violations of their laws. In the future, these laws may be modified or new laws may be enacted. We may unintentionally violate these laws to the extent that our transmissions are sent to or made available in these jurisdictions. Like domestic regulations that may apply to our activities, even if compliance is possible the cost of compliance may be burdensome. Any of these developments could cause our business to suffer. In addition, as our services are available over the Internet in multiple states and foreign countries, these jurisdictions may claim that we are required to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in each state or foreign country. The failure by us to qualify as a foreign corporation in a jurisdiction where we are required to do so could subject us to taxes and penalties and could result in our inability to enforce contracts in such jurisdictions.

This area is uncertain and developing. Any new legislation or regulation or the application or interpretation of existing laws may have an adverse effect on our business. Even if our activities are not restricted by any new legislation, the cost of compliance may become burdensome, especially as different jurisdictions adopt different approaches to regulation.

In addition, each of our segments are subject to particular government regulation specific to its business as described below.

ASTV segment

ASTV’s business is subject to a number of governmental regulations, including the Mail or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule and related regulations of the FTC. These regulations prohibit unfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in connection with mail and telephone order sales and require sellers of mail and telephone order merchandise to conform to certain rules of conduct with respect to shipping dates and shipping delays. We are also subject to regulations of the U.S. Postal Service and various state and local consumer protection agencies relating to matters such as advertising, order solicitation, shipment deadlines and customer refunds and returns. In addition, imported merchandise is subject to import and customs duties and, in some cases, import quotas.

eDiets segment

Content may be accessed on eDiets’ website and this content may be downloaded by visitors and subsequently transmitted to others over the Internet. This could result in claims made against us based on a variety of theories, including, but not limited to, tort, contract and intellectual property violations. We could also be exposed to liability with respect to content that may be posted by visitors. It is also possible that if any information contains errors or false or misleading information or statements, third parties could make claims against us for losses incurred in reliance upon such information. In addition, eDiets may be subject to claims alleging that, by directly or indirectly providing links to other websites, eDiets is liable in tort, contract or intellectual property, for the wrongful actions of third party website operators. The Communications Decency Act of 1996, as amended, provides that, under certain circumstances, a provider of Internet services shall not be treated as a publisher or speaker of any information provided by a third-party content provider. This safe harbor has been interpreted to exempt certain activities of providers of Internet services. However, as a result of certain of eDiets’ activities, we may be prevented from being able to take advantage of this safe harbor provision. Any claims brought against us in this respect may have a material and adverse effect on our business.

The FTC and certain states’ regulatory authorities regulate advertising and consumer matters such as unfair and deceptive trade practices. The FTC renewed its focus on claims made in weight-loss advertisements, announcing, for example, guidelines effective December 2009 concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising. In addition, the State of Florida, where our corporate offices are located, regulates certain marketing and disclosure requirements for weight loss providers. The nature of eDiets’ interactive Internet activities may subject us to similar legislation in a number of other states. Although we intend to conduct our operations in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and regularly review our operations to verify compliance, we cannot ensure that aspects of our operations will not be reviewed and challenged by the regulatory authorities and that if challenged that we would prevail. Furthermore, we cannot ensure that new laws or regulations governing weight loss and nutrition services providers will not be enacted, or existing laws or regulations interpreted or implied in the future in such way as to cause harm to our business.

eDiets relies to varying degrees on online advertising and e-mail in its marketing efforts. The use of e-mail advertising may become less effective in the future for a number of reasons. Some of these reasons are regulatory, as legislators attempt to address problems related to perceived deceptive practices in unsolicited bulk e-mails. For example, the Federal CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, which became effective January 1, 2004, places requirements on certain commercial e-mail activity relating to, among other things, making conspicuous and effective opt-out procedures available to the recipient and the identification and location of the sender. eDiets has implemented procedures to ensure compliance with the Federal CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, but future legislation or regulatory developments under existing laws may have a negative impact on our ability to advertise by e-mail. E-mail advertising also may become less effective in the future for non-regulatory reasons, including the sheer volume of unsolicited e-mail being received, increased use of “white lists” through which only pre-approved sender addresses are not filtered, and other e-mail filtering systems which may become more robust in response to recent viruses and worms circulating on the Internet.

Furthermore, we cannot provide any assurance that future regulation of commercial e-mail will not also impose significant costs or restrictions on even subscriber-based or “opt-in” e-mail services such as the eDiets newsletter service. As part of the public debate on commercial e-mail regulations, for example, some have advocated an electronic stamp program applicable to commercial e-mail generally, and it is unclear what exceptions, if any, there would be under such a program for a periodic newsletter service such as ours if such a program were passed as legislation.

Employees

At June 15, 2014, we employed 30 full-time employees of which 5 are senior management. We believe that we maintain a satisfactory working relationship with our employees and have not experienced any labor disputes or any difficulty in recruiting staff for operations.

Our history

We are a Florida corporation organized in November 2006. On May 28, 2010, we completed an Agreement and Plan of Merger with TV Goods Holding Corporation, a Florida corporation (“TV Goods”) and our wholly owned subsidiary, TV Goods Acquisition, Inc. (“Acquisition Sub”), pursuant to which TV Goods merged with Acquisition Sub and continues its business as a wholly owned subsidiary of our Company. The transaction was accorded reverse recapitalization accounting treatment under the provision of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 805 whereby TV Goods became the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and our Company was treated as the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer).

On May 27, 2011, we entered into a binding letter agreement with Seen on TV, LLC, an unaffiliated Nevada limited liability company, and Ms. Mary Beth Gearhart (formerly Fasano), its President. The letter agreement provided that we would obtain ownership of certain Seen on TV intangible assets, primarily consisting of the domain names “asseenontv.com” and “seenontv.com”. Upon entering into the binding letter agreement, we issued 250,000 shares of our common stock, with a fair value of $500,000 on the contract date, and an initial cash payment of $25,000 to Ms. Gearhart. In addition, we granted warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock, initially exercisable at $7.00 per share, for a period of three years with a grant date fair value of $162,192. Further, we agreed to make five additional monthly payments of $5,000 to the seller and a $10,000 contribution to a designated charitable contribution, all of which payments were made. All payments made under the initial letter agreement, including the fair value of securities and an additional $7,000 paid to the UK for use of the URL “asseenontv.co.uk” totaled $729,450. On June 28, 2012, we finalized the asset purchase agreement with Seen on TV, LLC, agreeing to:

·

pay an additional $1,560,000 in cash,

·

issue an additional 250,000 shares of our common stock,

·

issue 250,000 common stock purchase warrants, exercisable at $0.64 per share for three years from issuance,

·

modifying the exercise price of the 50,000 common stock purchase warrants issued in May 2011 from $7.00 per share to $1.00 per share and extending their term, and

·

making five annual payments of $10,000 per year to a charitable organization designated by Seen on TV.

We agreed that until December 31, 2014, so long as Ms. Gearhart owns at least 250,000 shares of our common stock received under the purchase agreement, if we were to issue additional shares of common stock, Ms. Gearhart will be entitled to receive additional shares sufficient to maintain her proportional ownership in our Company. As a result of private placements of our securities that we completed in November 2012 and December 2012, the Company issued an additional 284,757 shares of common stock and as a result primarily of our acquisition of eDiets, we issued an additional 316,267 shares of common stock. Following the Infusion Merger Agreement, we issued an additional 7,113,375 shares under this provision.

On February 28, 2013, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of eDiets pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among our company, eDiets Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of our Company, and eDiets.com, dated October 31, 2012 (the “eDiets Acquisition”). At closing, we issued an aggregate of 19,077,270 shares of our common stock, at the ratio of 1.2667 shares of our common stock for each outstanding share of eDiets’ common stock, to the eDiets’ shareholders. Following the closing, eDiets became a wholly owned subsidiary of our Company.

The total purchase price for eDiets was approximately $15.1 million. The purchase price consisted of approximately (i) $2.4 million in cash, (ii) $11.1 million in the Company’s common stock, valued based on the closing price of the stock on February 28, 2013, (iii) $0.9 million representing the fair value of the Company’s options issued to eDiets’ employees and warrants issued to eDiets consultants, and (iv) assumed liability of $600,000 in principal and $92,057 of related accrued interest in eDiets notes payable to related parties converted into 988,654 shares of common stock at $0.70 per share in accordance with the agreement and 494,328 warrants of the Company. In accordance with accounting standards of business combinations, we accounted for the acquisition of eDiets under the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method, the acquired assets and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition were recorded in the consolidated financial statements at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets had been recorded as goodwill. eDiets’ results of operations are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS.

Before you invest in our securities, you should be aware that there are various risks. You should consider carefully these risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K before you decide to purchase our securities. If any of the following risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

Our auditors have reported that there are substantial doubts as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. Since inception we have experienced recurring losses from operations, which losses have caused an accumulated deficit of approximately $22.9 million as of March 31, 2014. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses in future periods until we are successful in significantly increasing our revenues and/or reducing our operating expenses. There are no assurances that we will be able to raise our revenues to a level which supports profitable operations and provides sufficient funds to pay our obligations. If we are unable to meet those obligations, we would be required to raise additional debt or equity financing. Such financing, if available, may dilute our shareholders’ ownership interest in our Company. If we raise capital in the future by issuing additional securities, shareholders may experience dilution and a decline in the value of their shares of our common stock.

There are no assurances we will realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of eDiets and Infusion.

In February 2013 we closed the eDiets Acquisition and in April 2014 we closed the Infusion Merger. The future success of these acquisitions will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated growth opportunities and synergies from combining ASTV, eDiets and Infusion. We are in the early stages of integrating Infusion’s operations into our historical operations. The integration of the three companies will be a time consuming and expensive process and may disrupt our operations if it is not completed in a timely and efficient manner. In addition, we may not achieve anticipated synergies or other benefits of the mergers. The combined company may encounter the following difficulties, costs and delays involved in integrating these operations:

·

failure to integrate the three companies’ businesses and operations;

·

failure to successfully manage relationships with customers and other important relationships;

·

failure of customers to continue using the services of the combined company;

·

difficulties in successfully integrating the management teams and employees of our company and Infusion;

·

challenges encountered in managing larger operations;

·

the loss of key employees;

·

failure to manage the growth and growth strategies of both companies;

·

diversion of the attention of management from other ongoing business concerns;

·

potential incompatibility of technologies and systems;

·

potential impairment charges incurred to write down the carrying amount of intangible assets generated as a result of the mergers; and

·

potential incompatibility of business cultures.

If the combined company’s operations after the mergers do not meet the expectations of the customers of our companies before the mergers, then these customers may cease doing business with the combined company altogether, which would harm our results of operations and financial condition. If the management team is not able to develop strategies and implement a business plan that successfully addresses these difficulties, we may not realize the anticipated benefits of the merger. In particular, we are likely to realize lower earnings per share, which may have an adverse impact on our Company and the market price of our common stock.

We may never achieve or sustain profitability.

We may continue to incur losses as we attempt to develop and expand our operations and to market and sell our products. We entered into the mergers with eDiets and Infusion in part because of expected synergies with these companies, including operating a larger entity with greater critical mass of direct response marketing which could reduce the media buying pricing for the combined company and lower expenses due to an elimination in certain duplicate administrative costs, such as finance, legal, and marketing. There are no assurances; however, these expected cost savings will materialize. While we expect that our revenues will increase following the merger with Infusion as a result of consolidating that company’s results of operations with ours, because of the uncertainty regarding the scope of increased revenues and expected cost savings, there are no assurances that we will ever achieve or sustain profitability.

We have reported operational losses since inception, eDiets, Infusion and Ronco have histories of losses, and we cannot anticipate with any degree of certainty what our revenues will be in future periods.

At March 31, 2014, we had a cash balance of approximately $5,000 and a working capital deficit of $2.9 million. Even if we are able to substantially increase revenues and reduce operating expenses following the Infusion Merger, we may need to raise additional capital. In order to continue operating, the combined company may need to obtain additional financing, either through borrowings, public offerings, private offerings, or some type of business combination, such as a merger, or buyout, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in such pursuits. In the past, we have actively pursued a variety of funding sources including private offerings and have consummated certain transactions in order to address their respective capital requirements. However, we may be unable to acquire the additional funding necessary to continue operating. Accordingly, if we are unable to generate adequate cash from operations, and if we are unable to find sources of funding, it may be necessary for us to sell one or more lines of business or all or a portion of our assets, enter into a business combination, or reduce or eliminate operations. These possibilities, to the extent available, may be on terms that result in significant dilution to our shareholders or that result in our shareholders losing all of their investment in our Company.

We have $10,180,000 principal amount MIG7 Note which matures on April 3, 2015, unless extended for an additional 180-day period, and we may not have available capital to satisfy such note when it becomes due.

The MIG7 Note is collateralized by all of our assets. We currently do not have sufficient cash to satisfy the note when it becomes due and there are no assurances we will be able to raise the funds if necessary.

Our contractual arrangements with Ronco Holdings, LLC may not be as effective in providing control over Ronco Holdings as direct ownership.


We have no equity ownership interest in Ronco Holdings, as we hold a participation interest in the secured debt of Ronco Holdings and an option to procure the remaining interest in such secured debt for an additional $2,350,000. While we also hold the right to designate the majority of the board of directors of Ronco Holdings, these arrangements may not be as effective in providing control over Ronco Holdings as direct ownership. In addition, we cannot assure you that Ronco Holdings management and shareholders would always act in our best interests.


We have to satisfy registration rights provisions under a 2010 Private Placement and we are obligated to make pro rata payments to the subscribers of the 2010 Private Placement in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of $156,000.

Under the terms of a private placement conducted in 2010, we provided that we would use our best reasonable effort to cause a registration statement to become effective within 180 days of the termination date of the offering. We failed to comply with the registration rights provision and are obligated to make pro rata payments to the subscribers under the private placement in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of $156,000. The payment of this amount remains due and, when paid, will reduce our available cash and could adversely impact funds available for operations.

Our operations are subject to the general risks of the direct response television industry including product liability claims, the amounts of which could exceed our insurance coverage.

Our operations could be impacted by both genuine and fictitious claims regarding products we market. Although primarily all of the consumer products we market are not our property, we could potentially suffer losses from a significant product liability judgment against us. Any such significant product liability judgment could also result in a loss of consumer confidence in our products as well as an actual or perceived loss of value of our brand, materially impacting consumer demand. Although we carry a limited amount of product liability insurance, the amount of liability from product liability claims may exceed the amount of any insurance proceeds received by us. If we should be required to pay a product liability claim in excess of our insurance coverage, our working capital would be adversely impacted in future periods.

Our business would be harmed if manufacturers and service providers are unable to deliver products or provide services in a timely and cost effective manner, or if we are unable to timely fulfill orders.

We do not have any long-term contracts with manufacturers, suppliers or other service providers for our products. We do not produce or manufacture the products we market, and we utilizes third party companies to fulfill consumer orders and provide telemarketing services. If any manufacturer or supplier is unable, either temporarily or permanently, to manufacture or deliver products or provide services to us in a timely and cost effective manner, it could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Our ability to provide effective customer service and efficiently fulfill orders for merchandise depends, to a large degree, on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of the manufacturing and related call centers, distribution centers, and management information systems run by third parties. Any material disruption or slowdown in manufacturing, order processing or fulfillment systems resulting from strikes or labor disputes, telephone down times, electrical outages, mechanical problems, human error or accidents, fire, natural disasters, adverse weather conditions or comparable events could cause delays in our ability to receive and fulfill orders and may cause orders to be lost or to be shipped or delivered late. As a result, these disruptions could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations in future periods.

We are not affiliated with any of the “As Seen On TV” or “Seen On TV” retail stores and “As Seen On TV” and “Seen On TV” are not subject to trademark protection and therefore have been, and will continue to be used by third parties, including online and retail applications with no connections, nor benefits, to our Company.

We are not affiliated with any of the “As Seen On TV” or “Seen on TV” retail stores. While we rely on “As Seen On TV” and “Seen On TV” for name recognition and marketing, such terms are not subject to trademark registration or common law protection. Therefore, our competitors have, and will continue to use such terms in the market. The inability to register the terms may subject our Company to negative public perception in the event that one of our competitors sells or distributes a negatively received product under an “As Seen On TV” or “Seen On TV” label. Furthermore, the inability to register “As Seen On TV” or “Seen On TV” may prevent us from developing a unique brand that exclusively benefits our Company.

We may not be successful in finding or marketing new products. Our financial performance is dependent on the disproportionate success of a small group of products.

Our business, operations and financial performance depends on our ability to attract and market new products on a consistent basis. In the direct marketing industry, the average product life cycle varies from six months to four years, based on numerous factors, including competition, product features, distribution channels utilized, cost of goods sold and effectiveness of advertising. Less successful products have shorter life cycles. The majority of products are submitted by inventors. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring rights to quality products. We select new products based upon management’s expertise and limited market studies. As a result, we need to acquire the rights to quality products with sufficient margins and consumer appeal to justify the acquisition costs. There can be no assurance that chosen products will generate sufficient revenues to justify the acquisition and marketing costs. In addition, our business and results of operations is dependent on the disproportionate success of a small group of products, which we do not produce or manufacture. It is likely that the majority of the products we market may fail to generate significant revenues. Furthermore it is likely we will market more products which fail to generate significant revenues as opposed to products which generate significant revenues. Our sales and profitability has been in the past and will continue to be in the future adversely affected if we are unable to develop a sufficient number of successful products.



11



 


We may not be able to respond in a timely and cost effective manner to changes in consumer preferences.

Our merchandise is subject to changing consumer preferences. A shift in consumer preferences away from the merchandise we offer would result in significantly reduced revenues. Our future success depends in part on our ability to anticipate and respond to changes in consumer preferences. Failure to anticipate and respond to changing consumer preferences in the products we market could lead to, among other things, lower sales of products, significant markdowns or write-offs of inventory, increased merchandise returns and lower margins. In addition, eDiets’ success depends, to a large degree, upon the continued popularity of its program versus various other weight loss, weight management and fitness regimens, such as low carbohydrate diets, appetite suppressants and diets featured in the published media. Changes in consumer tastes and preferences away from eDiets’ digital weight-loss programs, and any failure to provide innovative responses to these changes, may have a materially adverse impact on its revenues. If we are not successful in anticipating and responding to changes in consumer preferences, our results of operations in future periods will be materially adversely impacted.

eDiets depends heavily on its network infrastructure and its failure could result in unanticipated expenses and prevent subscribers from effectively utilizing services, which could negatively impact eDiets’ ability to attract and retain subscribers.

eDiets’ ability to successfully create and deliver its content depends in large part on the capacity, reliability and security of networking hardware, software and telecommunications infrastructure. Failures of network infrastructure could result in unanticipated expenses to address such failures and could prevent subscribers from effectively utilizing services, which could prevent eDiets from retaining and attracting subscribers. The hardware infrastructures on which the eDiets’ system operates are located in Chicago, Illinois and Lithia Springs, Georgia. eDiets does not currently have a formal disaster recovery plan. Its system is susceptible to natural and man-made disasters, including terrorism, earthquakes, fires, floods, power loss and vandalism. Further, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, electronic break-ins or other similar disruptive problems could adversely affect the operation of its systems. eDiets’ insurance policies may not adequately compensate us for any losses that may occur due to any damages or interruptions in its systems. Accordingly, we could incur capital expenditures in the event of unanticipated damage.

The unauthorized access of confidential member information that eDiets transmits over public networks could adversely affect its ability to attract and retain subscribers.

eDiets’ subscribers transmit confidential information to it over public networks, and the unauthorized access of such information by third parties could harm its reputation and significantly hinder its efforts to attract and retain subscribers. eDiets relies on a variety of security techniques and authentication technology licensed from third parties to provide the security and authentication technology to effect secure transmission of confidential information, including customer credit card numbers. Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other developments may result in a compromise or breach of the technology it uses to protect customer transaction data and adversely affect its ability to attract and retain customers.

eDiets may be subject to health-related claims from its customers which may negatively affect its business.

eDiets’ weight loss program does not include medical treatment or medical advice, and it does not engage physicians or nurses to monitor the progress of customers. Many people who are overweight suffer from other physical conditions, and target consumers could be considered a high-risk population. A customer who experiences health problems could allege or bring a lawsuit against eDiets on the basis that those problems were caused or worsened by participating in its weight management program. Defending against such claims, regardless of their merit and ultimate outcome, would likely be lengthy and costly, and adversely affect our results of operations and eDiets’ general liability insurance may not cover claims of these types.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES

Because the market for our common stock is limited, persons who purchase our common stock may not be able to resell their shares at or above the purchase price paid for them.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board which is not a liquid market. There is currently only a limited public market for our common stock. We cannot assure you that an active public market for our common stock will develop or be sustained in the future. If an active market for our common stock does not develop or is not sustained, the price may continue to decline.

Because we are subject to the “penny stock” rules, brokers cannot generally solicit the purchase of our common stock which adversely affects its liquidity and market price.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The market price of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board has been substantially less than $5.00 per share and we do not meet any of the other rule exclusions, and therefore our common stock is currently considered a “penny stock” according to SEC rules. This designation requires any broker-dealer selling these securities to disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities. SEC regulations also require additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a “penny stock,” including the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and its associated risks. These requirements severely limit the liquidity of securities in the secondary market because few broker or dealers are likely to undertake these compliance activities and this limited liquidity will make it more difficult for an investor to sell his shares of our common stock in the secondary market should the investor wish to liquidate the investment. In addition to the applicability of the penny stock rules, other risks associated with trading in penny stocks could also be price fluctuations and the lack of a liquid market.

Due to factors beyond our control, the market price of our common stock price may be volatile.

Any of the following factors could affect the market price of our common stock:

·

failure to increase revenues in each succeeding quarter;

·

failure to achieve and maintain profitability;

·

the loss of distribution relationships;

·

the sale of a large amount of common stock by our shareholders;

·

announcement of a pending or completed acquisition or failure to complete a proposed acquisition;

·

adverse court ruling or regulatory action;

·

failure to meet financial analysts’ performance expectations;

·

changes in earnings or loss estimates and recommendations by financial analysts;

·

changes in market valuations of similar companies;

·

short selling activities;

·

announcement of a change in the direction of our business;

·

actual or anticipated variations in quarterly or in forecasted results of operations; or

·

announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, commercial relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted. A securities class action suit against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s time and attention, which would otherwise be used to benefit our business.

Shares eligible for sale or convertible into shares in the future could negatively affect our stock price and dilute shareholders.

The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock or the perception that these sales could occur. This might also make it more difficult for us to raise funds through the issuance of securities. As we may also issue and/or register additional shares, options, or warrants in the future in connection with capital raising activities, acquisitions, compensation or otherwise, we cannot predict what effect, if any, market sales of shares held by any shareholder or the availability of these shares for future sale will have on the market price of our common stock.

The exercise of the warrants and options will result in dilution to existing shareholders and could negatively affect the market price for our common stock.

At June 16, 2014, we had outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 94,634,234 shares of common stock exercisable at various prices and options to purchase an aggregate of 7,148,836 shares of common stock exercisable at various prices. As a result of the Infusion Merger Agreement, outstanding warrants include a warrant to purchase 30,136,173 shares as of June 16, 2014, representing 4.99% of the common stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis, on the date of exercise, at an exercise price of $0.001 per share. If all the warrants and options are exercised, based on 531,815,115 shares of common stock issued and outstanding on June 16, 2014, our issued and outstanding shares would increase by 19%. In the event that a liquid market for our common stock develops, of which there is no assurance, to the extent that holders of our warrants and options exercise such convertible securities, our existing shareholders will experience dilution to their ownership interest in our Company. In addition, to the extent that holders of convertible securities convert such securities and then sell the underlying shares of common stock in the open market, the market price of our common stock may decrease due to the additional shares in the market.

The purchase price protection features of our securities issued under its securities purchase agreement dated October 28, 2011 and November 14, 2012 could require us to issue a substantially greater number of shares of common stock, which will cause dilution to our shareholders.

Under a securities purchase agreement effective October 28, 2011 and securities purchase agreement effective November 14, 2012, purchasers may receive additional shares of common stock in the event we issue additional securities, at an effective price per share that is less than the initial issuance price of the shares under the respective securities purchase agreement. The warrants issued pursuant to the above referenced agreements also contain provisions entitling the holders of such warrants to cashless exercise rights in the event we fail to register the underlying shares of common stock at or prior to the time the warrants are exercised. In addition, if at any time while the warrants are outstanding we issue securities at an effective price per share less than the exercise price of the respective warrants, then, subject to certain exempt issuances, the exercise price of the warrants may be reduced to such discounted price.

The change in value of our derivative liabilities could have a material effect on our financial results in future periods.

In connection with recent financings, we have issued a significant number of warrants and other securities that, as a result of the terms of these warrants and other securities, each are considered a derivative liability under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. At each of our financial reporting periods, we are required to determine the fair value of such derivatives and record the fair value adjustments as non-cash unrealized gains or losses. The share price of our common stock represents the primary underlying variable that impacts the value of the derivative instruments. Additional factors that impact the value of the derivative instruments include the volatility of our stock price, our credit rating, discount rates, and stated interest rates. Due to the volatile nature of our share price, we expect that we will recognize non-cash gains or losses on its derivative instruments each reporting period and that the amount of such non-cash gains or losses could be material.

Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may delay or prevent a take-over which may not be in the best interests of our shareholders.

Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects, which include when and by whom special meetings of our shareholders may be called, and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt. In addition, certain provisions of the Florida Business Corporations Act also may be deemed to have certain anti-takeover effects which include that control of shares acquired in excess of certain specified thresholds will not possess any voting rights unless these voting rights are approved by a majority of a corporation's disinterested shareholders. Further, our articles of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors in their sole discretion. Our board may, without shareholder approval, issue shares of preferred stock with dividends, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock.

ITEM 2.

PROPERTY.

Our corporate offices are located in Clearwater, Florida. This location is approximately 10,500 square feet which includes approximately 5,000 square feet of studio production space. On February 1, 2012, we entered into a new 36-month lease agreement on our existing headquarters facility. Terms of the lease provided for a base rent payment of $7,875 per month for the first 12 months, increasing 3% per year thereafter. On August 23, 2013, the lease on our headquarters facility was amended, decreasing our base rent payments to $5,688 per month and extending the term of the lease through January 31, 2018. The amended lease further provides for annual increases in the base rent commencing February 1, 2015, based on the Consumer Price Index of the immediately preceding calendar year but in no event less than 3% per annum. The lease contains no provisions for a change in the base rent based on future events or contingent occurrences. This location is sufficient to support current and anticipated operations.

ITEM 3.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

From time to time, we are periodically a party to or otherwise involved in legal proceedings arising in the normal and ordinary course of business. As of the date of this report, except as otherwise disclosed below, we are not aware of any other proceeding, threatened or pending, against us which, if determined adversely, would have a material effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Subsequent to the period covered by this report, on or about June 13, 2014, the Company became aware of a former director of the Company filing a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, styled Michael Cimino v. As Seen On TV, Inc., Steven A. Rogai and Ronald C. Pruett, Jr., Case No. 2:14-cv-03461-GAM, alleging that the Company breached certain settlement and equity compensation matters relating to the director’s resignation from the Company in 2011. The complaint also names the Company’s former chief executive officers as defendants. The plaintiff is seeking approximately $3.5 million in damages, pre and post judgment interest, attorneys’ fees, together with an unspecified amount of punitive damages. The Company, based on its preliminary review, believes that the claims are without merit. In addition, as the Company has not yet been served in this matter, it has not determined the potential liability associated with the claims, if any. In the event the plaintiff takes any further steps to prosecute the lawsuit, the Company intends to retain counsel and vigorously defend the action.

Dividend Policy

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. Payment of dividends will be within the sole discretion of our board and will depend, among other factors, upon our earnings, capital requirements and our operating and financial condition. In addition, under Florida law, we may declare and pay dividends on our capital stock either out of our surplus, as defined in the relevant Florida statutes, or if there is no such surplus, out of our net profits for the year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding year. If, however, the capital of our Company computed in accordance with the relevant Florida statutes, has been diminished by depreciation in the value of our property, or by losses, or otherwise, to an amount less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets, we are prohibited from declaring and paying out of such net profits any dividends upon any shares of our capital stock until the deficiency in the amount of capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets shall have been repaired. We have no present intention to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

ITEM 7.

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

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under “Item 1A. Risk Factors”, “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information” and “Business” sections in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.

Overview

As Seen On TV, Inc. is a direct response and retail marketing company and owner of AsSeenOnTV.com, eDiets.com, and effective April 2, 2014, Infusion Brands, Inc. We identify, develop and market consumer products for global distribution via TV, Internet and retail channels. In February 2013 we acquired eDiets.com, Inc. and following this transaction our business is organized along two segments. The ASTV segment is a direct response marketing company that identifies and advises in the development and marketing of consumer products. The eDiets segment is a subscription-based nationwide weight-loss oriented digital subscription service.

Although the Company made the decision to divest its dietary meal component in September 2013, when considering the acquisition of eDiets, we believed that the combination could create a stronger, more scalable business and facilitate our strategic objective of becoming one of the top providers of ecommerce products and solutions.

Subsequent to the period covered by this report, on April 2, 2014, the Company entered into the Infusion Merger Agreement with IBI, Infusion, and ASTV Merger Sub, Inc. Effective April 2, 2014. ASTV Merger Sub, Inc. merged with and into Infusion, with Infusion continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Pursuant to the terms of the Infusion Merger Agreement the Company issued to IBI 452,960,490 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Infusion common stock. As a result, IBI became the majority shareholder of the Company, owning approximately 85.2% of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of the date of the Infusion Merger and 75% of Company’s outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis.

The Infusion merger transaction will be treated as a reverse merger under the acquisition method in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC – Business Combinations, whereby Infusion will be the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and the Company (As Seen On TV, Inc.) the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). Accordingly, effective with the merger closing, the historical financial records of the Company are those of the accounting acquirer, adjusted to reflect the legal capital of the accounting acquiree.

Infusion is an international consumer brands products company that creates, designs, distributes and sells consumer products through international distribution channels. Infusion products include a line of Do It Yourself (“DIY”) innovative power tools marketed under the DualTool® brand, which includes innovative saws, drills, sanders and polishers to the growing DIY consumer market and a growing line of cleaning products under the DOC brand. In addition, under the well-recognized Ronco® brand, the Company markets an extensive line of household consumer products, primarily through Direct Response (“DR”) channels, including the Pocket Fisherman, Showtime Rotisserie, Veg-O-Matic and Smart Juicer, among others.

Infusion and Ronco intend to continue to expand their marketing efforts targeting traditional established DIY and home goods retail outlets in the US and internationally as well as TV and print media.

Management believes that the acquisition of Infusion, with their international distribution channels and expanding product lines, could significantly improve the Company’s operational results. Further, Infusion will be able to capitalize on the Company’s ecommerce platforms already in place which we believe have been significantly enhanced by our recent restructuring program.



17



 


Since the closing of the acquisitions of eDiets and Infusion, we have undertaken extensive internal changes which we believe, when completed, will enable us to operate as a combined organization, utilizing common information and communication systems, operating procedures, financial controls and human resources practices. Those changes include a significant reduction in personnel and an enhanced emphasis brought about in part through the divestiture of our meal delivery service in our second fiscal quarter allowing the Company to better focus our limited resources on the eDiets digital subscription-based plans. In addition, we have directed significant Company resources to develop and deploy our ecommerce platforms on behalf of third parties, which we believe may prove more profitable for the Company. Under this structure, we would not recognize total revenue with sales transactions but rather a negotiated percentage of each transaction. This approach, if successful, would eliminate many costs and the administrative burden of purchasing and carrying inventories, while capitalizing on our ecommerce platforms and distribution potential already owned by the Company.

We believe this shift in focus to ecommerce based revenues could be accomplished principally through maximizing resources and assets already held by the Company. While we currently receive a royalty through our ownership of the url AsSeenOnTV.com, this outlet presents the opportunity to generate revenues from both referrals or the placement and distribution of our own products or products for which we will receive a licensing fee. Distribution of third party products through this channel provides us with the opportunity to expand revenues without a costly proportionate expansion of infrastructure, including support personal and inventory purchase and management costs.

In furtherance of our shift to focus to ecommerce platforms and to reduce operating expenses, on October 11, 2013, the Company completed the sale to Chefs Diet National Co., LLC (“Chef’s Diet”), a subsidiary of Chef’s Diet Corp., of certain assets (the “Meal Delivery Assets”) relating to the eDiets meal delivery business pursuant to an Asset Purchase and Revenue Sharing Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated August 23, 1013 between eDiets and Chef’s Diet. The disposed assets consist primarily of a customer database of active and inactive eDiets customers. In addition, eDiets granted Chef’s Diet a perpetual royalty-free license to content and certain other intellectual property used in connection with the eDiets meal delivery business. As a result of the sale of our Meal Delivery Assets component, the financial statements included in the Annual Report have been presented in accordance with the provisions of ASC 205-20 Discontinued Operations for all periods presented.

The base sales price of $1.1 million consisted of an initial cash payment of $200,000, which was collected prior to March 31, 2014, plus deferred cash payments totaling $900,000 payable as follows: (i) eight quarterly payments beginning January 1, 2014, in an amount equal to the greater of $56,250 or 7% of adjusted gross revenue for the immediately preceding period, and (ii) eight quarterly payments beginning January 1, 2016, in an amount equal to the greater of $56,250 or 5% of adjusted gross revenue for the immediately preceding period. In addition, Chef’s Diet will make up to four quarterly bonus payments of up to $50,000 each if it meets certain customer acquisition and retention targets. The elimination of our meal delivery program, while having a negative effect on revenues in the near term, has had, and is expected to have, a significant reduction in operating expenses. As a result of this divestiture, the meal delivery component of our dietary programs has been recorded as a discontinued operation in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In connection with the Agreement, the Company retained a perpetual, nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty free right and license to use the Meal Delivery Assets in its business provided that it shall not utilize such assets to promote any fresh, frozen or prepared meal program, as defined.

We continue to face a number of challenges during fiscal 2015, including operating within the highly competitive industries, effectively responding to ever changing consumer preferences and completing our Infusion Brands and eDiets integrations. We may also need additional fundings to provide the resources necessary to continue in business and to realize the expected benefits of our initiatives. In light of the Company’s results from operations, the Company intends to continue to evaluate various possibilities, including: (i) raising additional capital through the issuance of common or preferred stock, securities convertible into common stock, or secured or unsecured debt, (ii) selling one or more lines of business, or all or a portion of the Company’s assets, (iii) entering into a business combination, and (iv) aggressively restructuring existing operations, including reducing or eliminating less promising operations or liquidating assets. These possibilities, to the extent available, may be on terms that result in significant dilution to the Company’s shareholders or that result in the Company’s shareholders losing all of their investment in the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in effecting any of the above possibilities.

We reported a net loss of approximately $9.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. At March 31, 2014, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $2.9 million, an accumulated deficit of approximately $22.9 million and cash used in operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 of approximately $3 million. Subsequent to the period covered by this report, pursuant to a Senior Note Purchase Agreement dated as of April 3, 2014, by and among the Company, Infusion, eDiets.com, Inc., Tru Hair, Inc., TV Goods Holding Corporation, Ronco Funding LLC (collectively, the “Credit Parties”), and MIG7 Infusion, LLC (“MIG7” and such agreement, the “Note Purchase Agreement”), the Credit Parties sold to MIG7 a senior secured note having a principal amount of $10,180,000 bearing interest at 14% and having a maturity date of April 3, 2015 (the “MIG7 Note”). The MIG7 Note is subject to automatic extension for an additional 180-day period in the event that the Credit Parties have requested such extension in writing at least 60 days prior to the original maturity date, no event of default under the Note Purchase Agreement is then in existence, and the Company’s consolidated revenues, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and EBITDA for the 12 months immediately preceding the request equal or exceed $39,000,000 and $6,000,000, respectively. During such extension the MIG7 Note would bear interest at a rate of 15.5%. Funding of the amounts borrowed under the MIG7 Note was made in two tranches, with the first funding of $7,400,000 occurring on April 3, 2014, and the second funding, which resulted in funding of an aggregate gross amount of $10,180,000 under the Note Purchase Agreement, occurring on May 1, 2014.

Results of operations

The Company’s meal delivery operations were a component for our eDiets subsidiary which delivered fresh and frozen diet or wellness focused meals to our customers. Management believes the divestiture of this component, as described above, will allow the Company to streamline its operations and focus its limited dietary resources on ecommerce based platforms, which it believes is the future of the dietary and wellness industries.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, the Company’s discontinued meal delivery component had operational losses of $15,165,000. As a result of this divestiture, the Company recognized a non-cash charge of $14,631,000, including a write down of goodwill of $9,300,000 and $5,331,000 in identifiable intangible assets, resulting from the Company’s determination that it would not be able to recover the carrying value of its investment in this component and that it would not be able to recover the carrying value of its finite-lived intangible assets in this component and therefore recorded the related loss in discontinued operations. As a result of this impairment, the Company carries no remaining goodwill. No tangible assets or liabilities were transferred in the divestiture of the meal delivery component.

The results of operations for the meal delivery component has been reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. The following table summarizes the results of operations for the discontinued component:

Following our acquisition of eDiets.com completed February 28, 2013 we began reporting our operations in two segments. The ASTV segment is a direct response marketing company that identifies and advises in the development and marketing of consumer products. The eDiets segment is a subscription-based nationwide weight-loss oriented digital subscription service and, until our discontinuance of the meal delivery component in September 2013, provided dietary and wellness oriented meal delivery services. See Note 4.

We measure the profit or loss of our segments or “segment operating income (loss).” We define segment operating income (loss) as income from operations before warrant revaluation income or loss, net interest expenses and income taxes and excludes unallocated corporate overhead. We have no intersegment revenues, profits or losses. The amounts under the caption, “Corporate and Other” in this table are unallocated corporate overhead items. Loss from discontinued operations for fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, reflects the losses from our meal delivery component and impairment of diet related intangibles including $5,331,000 in identifiable intangibles and $9,300,000 in related goodwill.

Revenues

ASTV segment


We generate revenues in our ASTV segment from a number of sources. In the fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 periods, these sources included:

·

heater sales (fiscal 2013),

·

other product sales, and

·

royalty fees.

While there can be no assurance, management believes that continuing to develop a marketing strategy based upon distributing developed products through our AsSeenOnTV.com url, will ultimately prove a successful strategy.



20



 


ASTV segment revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 declined 87% from the comparable period of the preceding year. This very sharp decline was due to the absence of sales of our heater unit during the current year. Revenues related to the Company’s heater products totaled approximately 64% of total revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013. The suspension of these revenues represents the Company’s intentional shift in focus from traditional direct response, inventory intensive model, to an ecommerce based model which we believe requires less capital per revenue dollar and improvement of the Company’s long-term prospects.

Product sales represent limited ASTV sales of various consumer direct response products. These sales declined during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, compared to the prior year as the Company reduced expenditures on media spending to conserve cash during its restructuring resulting in reduced product sales revenue.

Commission and royalty fees income, totaling $509,200 and $304,200 in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, primarily represent fees received by the Company under an agreement associated with our AsSeenOnTV.com url and partnership fees associated with products appearing on home shopping networks. The royalty fees includes minimum fees due the Company resulting from its acquisition of the AsSeenOnTV.com url, completed in June 2012. While there can be no assurance, it is hoped that these royalty fees will increase in the future as web-related revenues for those utilizing our website increase.

Infomercial production ceased during the current fiscal year. This reflected the Company’s decision to shift away from infomercial production to ecommerce driven sales of consumer products, including ecommerce dietary products which the Company believes has a higher earnings potential. The Company has no plans to develop infomercial production operations in the future.

Under the terms of an agreement dated November 20, 2013, Tru Hair, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, licensed certain trademarks to a third party in exchange for a cash payment of $25,000 and an undertaking by the third party to use reasonable best efforts to market, distribute and sell certain items held by Tru Hair, Inc.

eDiets segment

The Company intends to continue to focus its diet related programs on ecommerce platforms. As discussed above, on October 11, 2013, the Company completed the sale to Chef’s Diet of certain assets relating to the eDiets meal delivery component. The elimination of our meal delivery program, while having a negative effect on revenues for the current periods, has, and will continue to, significantly reduce operating expenses. It will also enable us to dedicate our limited dietary related resources to developing our ecommerce platforms.

Cost of revenues

Overall, cost of revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 represented 68% of revenues compared to 74% of revenues for the prior fiscal year. This decrease between the periods is due primarily to the significant change in the overall product mix and strategy from tangible products inventoried, held and sold by the Company to an ecommerce based approach. Management of the Company plans to continue to expand this model in the future for more Infusion Brand products. The Company believes that, while there can be no assurance, the shift in emphasis in the ASTV segment away from a traditional distribution of purchased inventory items to a more ecommerce based subscription or royalty based model will better utilize the Company’s limited resources, providing a higher return.

Costs associated with the ASTV segment product sales include the direct costs of purchasing the products marketed as well as fulfillment costs associated with the taking and shipment of orders, merchant discount fees, royalties, commissions and shipping and freight costs, which can, and as happened in fiscal 2014 did, exceed the related revenues resulting in a loss. The Company does not manufacture any products in-house and relies on third-party suppliers, located primarily outside of the United States, for its inventory. Accordingly, our cost of products acquired for sale could vary significantly if fuel and transportation costs were to increase in the future. Costs associated with the eDiets segment sales, reflecting our dietary ecommerce programs, include credit card fees, product costs, fulfillment and shipping costs, as well as costs associated with revenue sharing or royalty costs related to license agreements with third party nutrition and fitness companies, Internet access fees and compensation for nutritional professionals.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses, consisting of selling and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses, declined sharply for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014, compared to the comparable periods of the preceding year. The bulk of this decrease is reflected in selling and marketing expenses attributable to the absence of selling and marketing expenses related to the Company’s heater sales campaign in the prior year which accounted for 64% of total revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013. There were no comparable heater sales or related costs for the fiscal year March 31, 2014.

General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $1,300,000 or 19% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, compared to the preceding year. This decline was due in large part to the shift in sales focus between the periods to a more ecommerce structure as mentioned above. Administrative salaries and related cost declined approximately $430,000 as a direct result of a reduction in administrative staff as a cost reduction measure. While there can be no assurances, we anticipate administrative salaries as a percentage of revenues to continue to decline in future periods as a result of our acquisition of Infusion Brands, completed in April 2014. Stock based compensation also declined between the periods from $1,375,000 in fiscal 2013 to $944,000 for fiscal 2014. This decline of approximately $431,000 reflects the accelerated vesting of options as part of our termination agreement with our former CEO in March 2013, which totaled expense recognition of approximately $550,000.

In both fiscal 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized costs associated with mergers as incurred. For fiscal 2014 we recognized merger related costs associated with the Infusion Brands transaction, completed in fiscal 2015, of $157,600. During fiscal 2013, we recognized merger related costs associated with the eDiets transaction of $277,700. Insurance related costs increased between the periods by approximately $303,000 due in part to our acquisition of eDiets and related coverages.

Other (income) expenses

Other (income) expense primarily consists of the non-cash income or expense recognized on the periodic revaluation of the fair value of financing related warrants outstanding at the end of each period that, based on their provisions, are carried as liabilities on the Company’s records. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, we reported warrant revaluation income of approximately $10,760,000. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 we reported warrant revaluation income of approximately $13,951,000. These periodic revaluations have, and most likely will continue to, result in significant, non-cash income or expense being recognized at the end of any given period depending on fluctuations in the market value of our stock on each remeasurement date. In addition, in May 2014 the Company completed a financing with gross proceeds of $10,180,000, which contained a provision requiring the issuance of warrants representing 4.99% of our total outstanding shares with an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. Provisions within these warrants will also require fair value recognition of the related liability with income or expense recognition in addition to those outstanding at March 31, 2014. Investors should not place undue emphasis on our other income resulting from our revaluation of warrants outstanding when evaluating our actual operating performance.

Liquidity and capital resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet the company’s needs for cash to operate the business. At March 31, 2014, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $2.9 million as compared to a working capital deficit of approximately $9.6 million at March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2014, our current assets decreased 91% and our current liabilities decreased 78%, respectively, from March 31, 2013. The sharp decrease in current liabilities was primarily due to a sharp decline in the Company’s warrant liabilities, decreasing from approximately $11,700,000 to $930,000 between the periods. This decline was attributable to a significant drop in the market price of our common stock, used in determining the fair value of the liability at the respective balance sheet dates. Principal changes in current assets at March 31, 2014 compared to March 31, 2013 include a decline in cash from approximately $2.4 million to $5,000 attributable primarily to operational losses during the period and sharp decline in accounts receivable reflecting our sharp decline in sales revenue, following the cessation of our heater sales program and our operational restructuring toward ecommerce based operations.

Net cash used in operating activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, was approximately $3 million. This use of cash was due in large part to our operational losses and decreases in the balance in accounts payable offset by a decrease in trade accounts receivable and inventory levels. The decline in accounts receivable and inventory levels primarily resulted from the wind-down of the Company’s heater sales program at the end of fiscal 2013.

These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses in future periods until we are successful in significantly increasing our revenues and/or reducing our operating expenses. There are no assurances that we will be able to raise our revenues to a level which supports profitable operations and provides sufficient funds to pay our obligations. If we are unable to meet those obligations, we would be required to raise additional debt or equity financing. Such financing, if available, may dilute our shareholders’ ownership interest in our Company. If we raise capital in the future by issuing additional securities, shareholders may experience dilution and a decline in the value of their shares of our common stock.

As discussed above, subsequent to the period covered by this report, and in connection with the Infusion Merger, pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement dated as of April 3, 2014, by and among the Credit Parties, and MIG7, the Credit Parties sold to MIG7 a Note. Funding of the amounts borrowed under the Note was made in two tranches, with the first funding of $7,400,000 occurring on April 3, 2014, and the second funding, which resulted in funding of an aggregate gross amount of $10,180,000 under the Note Purchase Agreement, occurring on May 1, 2014.

Under the Note Purchase Agreement, MIG7 is entitled to two board observer seats on each Credit Party’s board of directors, and, upon the written request of MIG7, to the nomination of two individuals selected by MIG7 for election to the board of directors of each Credit Party as full voting members of such boards.

Under the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company has delivered a warrant to purchase 4.9% of the common stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis to MIG7 Warrant, LLC, an affiliate of MIG7, at any time on or before the maturity date of the Note at an exercise price of $0.001 per share.

The Note Purchase Agreement contains a number of covenants restricting, among other things, dividends, liens, redemptions of securities, debt, mergers and acquisitions, asset sales, transactions with affiliates, capital expenditures, and prepayments and modifications of subordinated debt instruments. The Note Purchase Agreement contains customary events of default as well as events of default for failing to achieve certain targets for consolidated revenues and consolidated EBITDA for the 2014 and 2015 calendar years. Among other remedies, upon an event of default MIG7 would be entitled to sweep and retain 65% of all cash deposited in the operating account of the Company until all obligations owing to MIG7 are paid in full.

The obligations of the Credit Parties under the Note are collateralized by substantially all of their respective assets under a Security Agreement between the Credit Parties and MIG7 and the Company has agreed to pledge the stock of all other Credit Parties that are corporations under a Pledge Agreement.

In connection with the Note Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, the Credit Parties, MIG7, and Vicis Capital Master Fund entered into an intercreditor agreement pursuant to which MIG7, and Vicis Capital Master Fund agreed among other matters to share priority under and allocation of amounts owing to each of them under the Senior Secured Debenture held by Vicis Capital Master Fund and under the Note.

Commitments

In connection with the eDiets acquisition, on September 10, 2012, the Company received notice of a complaint filed in Broward County, Florida by an eDiets stockholder against eDiets, members of the board of directors of eDiets and the Company, alleging that eDiets breached its fiduciary duty to its stockholders by entering into the transaction for inadequate consideration. Prior to the deadline for the defendants to answer the complaint, the plaintiff and the defendants in the case filed a stipulation with the court allowing the plaintiff to file an amended complaint. The Company’s acquisition of eDiets was consummated on February 28, 2013. On November 19, 2013, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the case without prejudice.

On May 2, 2013, effective May 1, 2013, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Ronald C. Pruett Jr. to serve as our chief executive officer. The term of the agreement was for one year and provided for successive one-year periods unless a notice of non-renewal is given by either party or the agreement is otherwise terminated sooner in accordance with its provisions. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Pruett received an annual base salary of $275,000, together with an additional salary of $275,000 during the first year of his employment with us. Mr. Pruett also received an option grant to purchase 425,000 shares (the “First Option Grant”) of our common stock and a second option grant to purchase 2,625,000 shares (the “Second Option Grant”) of our common stock, subject to vesting. The First Option Grant vested on the grant date, May 6, 2013, and had a per share exercise price equal to $0.35, the average of the high bid and low asked prices of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on the trading day immediately preceding the grant date. The Second Option Grant had a per share exercise price equal to $0.70. A portion of the Second Option Grant, 656,250 options, vested on May 6, 2013. Following the Infusion Merger, Mr. Pruett resigned as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (and all positions with our subsidiaries). Mr. Pruett elected to terminate his employment effective May 1, 2014. The termination agreement modified certain terms of his employment agreement and provided that Mr. Pruett was entitled to receive the balance of additional salary due him totaling approximately $72,000, which will be paid over a period of approximately three months beginning May 1, 2014. In addition, in accordance with our stock option plans, his options granted, both vested and unvested, will expire 90-days from the date of his resignation.

On June 13, 2013, TV Goods, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a termination agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with Presser Direct, LLC (“Presser Direct”) under which it terminated a Purchasing and Marketing Agreement (the “P & M Agreement”) between TV Goods and Presser Direct dated March 7, 2012, relating to the manufacture, marketing, sale and distribution of the SeasonAire heater and related product lines. Under the Termination Agreement, TV Goods agreed to pay approximately $309,000 related to previously purchased inventory and approximately $146,000 attributable to royalty payments under the P & M Agreement, of which $65,000 was to be held in escrow pending delivery of replacements for damaged or defective SeasonAire heaters and related products previously sold by TV Goods. TV Goods also agreed to transfer title to certain assets relating to the products, including infomercials and intellectual property, to Presser Direct. Presser Direct agreed to pay TV Goods $50,000 for existing SeasonAire inventory, to assume obligations to make all royalty payments relating to SeasonAire sales after July 31, 2013 and to assume all liabilities relating to the SeasonAire products after June 13, 2013, except for certain warranty obligations relating to SeasonAire products sold prior to that date. TV Goods and Presser Direct released each other from all obligations under the P & M Agreement, so that the only surviving obligations were those arising under the Termination Agreement.

Leases

On February 1, 2012, the Company entered into a new 36-month lease agreement on our existing headquarters facility. Terms of the lease provide for a base rent payments of approximately $7,900 per month for the first twelve months, increasing 3% per year thereafter. The lease contained no provisions for a change in the base rent based on future events or contingent occurrences. In accordance with the provisions ASC 840-Leases, the Company is recognizing lease expenses on a straight-line basis, which total $8,100 per month over the lease term.

On August 23, 2013, the lease on our headquarters facility was amended, decreasing our base rent payments to approximately $5,700 per month and extending the term of the lease through January 31, 2018. The amended lease further provides for annual increases in the base rent commencing February 1, 2015, based on the Consumer Price Index of the immediately preceding calendar year but in no event less than 3% per annum. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 840 – Leases, the Company is recognizing lease expense on a straight line basis, which totals approximately $5,900 per month over the lease term.

During September 2012, eDiets entered into a one year lease for office space in Pompano Beach, Florida. The lease covered approximately 8,800 square feet at a monthly base rent of $9,800 per month. The Company did not renew this lease upon expiration and no longer occupies this facility.

The following is a schedule by year of future minimum rental payments required under our lease agreement on March 31, 2014:

Base rent expense recognized by the Company, attributable to its headquarters facility and eDiets facility was approximately $131,000 and $107,000 for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Other Commitments

Under the terms of a 2010 private placement, the Company provided that it would use its best reasonable efforts to cause the related registration statement to become effective within 180 days of the termination date, July 26, 2010, of the offering. We have failed to comply with this registration rights provision and are obligated to make pro rata payments to the subscribers under the 2010 private placement in an amount equal to 1% per month of the aggregate amount invested by the subscribers up to a maximum of 6% of the aggregate amount invested by the subscribers. The maximum amount of penalty to which the Company may be subject is $156,000. The Company had recognized an accrued penalty of $156,000 at both March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, respectively.

Critical accounting policies

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. Critical accounting policies and the significant estimates made in accordance with them are regularly discussed with our audit committee. Those policies are discussed in our consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto.

Accounting Standards Updates

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360):  Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” The amendments in the ASU change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures to this area. It also addresses sources of confusion and inconsistent application related to financial reporting of discontinued operations guidance in GAAP. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. In addition, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. The new guidance also requires disclosure of the pre-tax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an organization that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. This disclosure will provide users with information about the ongoing trends in a reporting organization’s results from continuing operations. The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this ASU will have on its financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB has issued No. 2014-09, “Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. The guidance in this update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”. In addition, the existing requirements for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of nonfinancial assets that are not in a contract with a customer (for example, assets within the scope of Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, and intangible assets within the scope of Topic 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other) are amended to be consistent with the guidance on recognition and measurement (including the constraint on revenue) in this Update. Under the new guidance, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in ASU No. 2014-09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this ASU will have on its financial statements.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of the date of this report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. 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 were effective such that the information relating to our Company, required to be disclosed in our SEC reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed 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. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

·

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

·

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

·

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations, our management does not expect that our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide full assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, with a company have been detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework — 1992. Management's assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of these controls. Based on this assessment, our management has concluded that as of March 31, 2014, our internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial report. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to a permanent exemption of the SEC that permits the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Accordingly, our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014, has not been audited by our auditors, EisnerAmper LLP or any other independent registered accounting firm.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.  There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Stastney, resolved issues relating to a failure to disclose a material conflict of interest to the trustee of the Fund, and the engagement in an undisclosed principal transaction with the Fund. In conjunction with the Order, Mr. Stastney agreed to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Sections 206(2) and 206(3) of the Advisers Act, to be barred from association with any investment adviser, broker, dealer, municipal securities dealer, or transfer agent and prohibited from serving or acting as an employee, officer, director, member of an advisory board, investment adviser or depositor of, or principal underwriter for, a registered investment company or affiliated person of such investment adviser, depositor, or principal underwriter, with the right to apply for reentry after eighteen months (except that he may continue to remain associated with Vicis Capital, LLC as a managing member solely for the purpose of engaging in activities and taking actions that are reasonably necessary to wind down the Fund, subject to the oversight of an independent monitor paid for by Mr. Stastney), and pay disgorgement of $2,033,710.46, prejudgment interest of $501,385.06, and a civil monetary penalty of $375,000.

There are no family relationships between any of the executive officers and directors. Each director is elected at our annual meeting of shareholders and holds office until the next annual meeting of shareholders, or until his successor is elected and qualified.

Corporate governance

Summary of corporate governance framework

We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of honest and ethical conduct in running our business efficiently, serving our shareholders’ interests and maintaining our integrity in the marketplace. To further this commitment, we have adopted our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which applies to all our directors, officers and employees. To assist in its governance, our board has formed three standing committees composed entirely of independent directors, Audit, Compensation and Governance and Nominating committees. A discussion of each committee’s function is set forth below. Our by-laws, the charters of each board committee, our Code Business Conduct and Ethics provide the framework for our corporate governance. Copies of our by-laws, committee charters, Code of Business Conduct and Ethics are available without charge upon written request to our Corporate Secretary.

Board of directors

The board of directors oversees our business affairs and monitors the performance of management. In accordance with our corporate governance principles, the independent members of our board of directors do not involve themselves in day-to-day operations. The independent directors keep themselves informed through discussions with our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, and by reading the reports and other materials that we send them and by participating in board of directors and committee meetings. Directors are elected for a one year term and hold office until their successors have been elected and duly qualified unless the director resigns or by reason of death or other cause is unable to serve in the capacity of director. If any director resigns, dies or is otherwise unable to serve out his or her term, or if the board increases the number of directors, the board may fill any vacancy by a vote of a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum exists. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall serve for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor. Vacancies occurring by reason of the removal of directors without cause may only be filled by vote of the shareholders.

We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates which may be recommended by our shareholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our board of directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. Further, when identifying nominees to serve as director, while we do not have a policy regarding the consideration of diversity in selecting directors, we seek to create a board of directors that is strong in its collective knowledge and has a diversity of skills and experience with respect to accounting and finance, management and leadership, vision and strategy, business operations, business judgment, industry knowledge and corporate governance. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our shareholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our board has not considered or adopted any of these policies as, excluding the director nomination rights granted to MIG7 in April 2014 under the Note Purchase Agreement, we have never received a recommendation from any shareholder for any candidate to serve on our board of directors. Given our relative size, we do not anticipate that any of our shareholders will make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all members of our board will participate in the consideration of director nominees. In considering a director nominee, it is likely that our board will consider the professional and/or educational background of any nominee with a view towards how this person might bring a different viewpoint or experience to our board.

Board leadership structure and board’s role in risk oversight

Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a number of risks, including liquidity risk, operational risk, strategic risk and reputation risk. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of the risks we face, while the board, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, the board of directors has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed. To do this, the Chairman of the Audit Committee and other members of our board of directors meet regularly with management to discuss strategy and risks we face. Our chief financial officer attends all board meetings and is available to address any questions or concerns raised by the board on risk management and any other matters. The independent members of the board work together to provide strong, independent oversight of our management and affairs through its standing committees and, when necessary, special meetings of independent directors.

Director independence

While the OTC Bulletin Board does not impose any qualitative standards requiring companies to have independent directors, the board of directors has determined that two of our directors, Mr. Adams and Mr. Richardson have no relationship which, in the opinion of the board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and each is an “independent director” as defined in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.

Our independent directors may meet at any time in their sole discretion without any other directors or representatives of management present. Each independent director has access to the members of our management team or other employees as well as full access to our books and records. We have no policy limiting, and exert no control over, meetings of our independent directors.

Board committees

The board of directors has a standing Audit and Compensation committee. Each committee has a written charter. Copies of the committee charters are available without charge upon written request to our Corporate Secretary. All committee members are independent directors. Information concerning the current membership and function of each committee is as follows:

the qualifications and independence of our independent registered public accountants.

The board has determined that Mr. Adams qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC.

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing our compensation programs and practices, including our executive compensation plans and incentive compensation plans. The chief executive officer provides input to the committee with respect to the individual performance and compensation recommendations for the other executive officers. Although the committee’s charter authorizes the committee to retain an independent consultant, no third party compensation consultant was engaged for fiscal 2014.

Director qualifications

The following is a discussion for each director of the specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that our board of directors to conclude that the individual should be serving as a director of the Company.

Robert DeCecco – Mr. DeCecco’s experience as chief executive officer of IBI was the primary factor considered by the Board. Specifically, the Board viewed favorably his experience in the direct response marketing industry, together with his management expertise, in reaching their conclusion.

Dennis Healey – Mr. Healey’s extensive experience in corporate finance and public company management were factors considered by the board. Specifically, the board viewed favorably his roles at Viragen, Inc. and our company, together with his experience in public accounting and his membership the Florida Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants AICPA in reaching their conclusion.

Mary Mather – Ms. Mather’s extensive experience in corporate finance and accounting were factors considered by the board.

Greg Adams – Mr. Adams’ extensive experience in corporate finance and public company management were factors considered by the board. Specifically, the board viewed favorably his roles at Green Earth Technologies, Inc., EDGAR Online, Inc., PRT Group, Inc. and Blenheim Group Plc., together with his experience at KPMG and his involvement with the AICPA in reaching their conclusion.

Kevin Richardson, II – Mr. Richardson’s extensive experience in corporate finance and as a small cap and micro cap investor were factors considered by the board. Specifically, the board viewed his experience at Prides Capital LLC and Prides Capital Partners LLC, as well as Blum Capital, Tudor Investment Corporation, Fidelity Management and Research and Kidder, Peabody & Co., together with his service on public company boards, including eDiets’, in reaching their conclusion.

Shadron Stastney – Mr. Stastney’s extensive experience in corporate finance and serving on numerous board of directors of public companies were factors considered by the board. Specifically, the board viewed favorably his experience in the direct response marketing industry.

In addition to the each of the individual skills and background described above, the board also concluded that each of these individuals will continue to provide knowledgeable advice to our other directors and to senior management on numerous issues facing our company and on the development and execution of our strategy.

Code of Ethics and Business Conduct

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to provide guiding principles to all of our employees. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics does not cover every issue that may arise, but it sets out basic principles to guide our employees and provides that all of our employees must conduct themselves accordingly and seek to avoid even the appearance of improper behavior. Any employee who violates our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics will be subject to disciplinary action, up to an including termination of his or her employment.

Generally, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics provides guidelines regarding:

·

compliance with laws, rules and regulations;

·

conflicts of interest;

·

insider trading;

·

corporate opportunities;

·

competition and fair dealing;

·

discrimination and harassment;

·

health and safety;

·

record keeping;

·

confidentiality;

·

protection and proper use of company assets;

·

payments to government personnel;

·

·

compliance procedures.

We have also adopted a Code of Ethics for our senior financial personnel who are also subject to specific policies regarding:

·

disclosures made in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission;

·

deficiencies in internal controls or fraud involving management or other employees who have a significant role in our financial reporting, disclosure or internal controls;

·

conflicts of interests; and

·

knowledge of material violations of securities or other laws, rules or regulations to which we are subject.

A copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available without charge upon written request to our Corporate Secretary.

Director compensation

Pursuant to independent director agreements, we have agreed to pay our independent directors an annual fee of $18,000 for serving on the board of directors and an additional $3,000 per year for serving as a committee chairperson and $2,000 per year for serving on a committee in a non chairperson position. In addition, in fiscal 2013 we issued each independent director options to purchase up to 25,000 shares of our common stock. The independent director options are exercisable at 100% of the closing price of our common stock as reporting on the OTC Bulletin board on the date prior to such director’s appointment to the board. Options to purchase 12,500 shares of common stock vest 12 months from date of appointment to the board, and options to purchase 12,500 shares vest 24 months from date of appointment. The options are issued pursuant and subject to our equity incentive plan.

The information in the following table provides information paid for director compensation in fiscal 2014, excluding any reimbursement of out-of-pocket travel and lodging expenses which we may have paid.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of our common shares and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, and to the best of our knowledge, all executive officers, directors and persons holding greater than 10% of our issued and outstanding stock have filed the required reports in a timely manner during fiscal 2014.

Dennis W. Healey

Effective on October 28, 2011, we entered into a three year employment agreement with Mr. Healey to serve as our Chief Financial Officer. Under the agreement Mr. Healey receives base compensation per annum of $140,000. Under the agreement, Mr. Healey is, in addition to base compensation, entitled to such bonus compensation as determined by our board of directors from time to time. In addition, he is entitled to receive reimbursement for all reasonable travel, entertainment and miscellaneous expenses incurred in connection with the performance of his duties, as well as up to a vacation of two weeks per annum and participation in in any pension, insurance or other employment benefit plan as maintained by us for our executives, including programs of life and medical insurance and reimbursement of membership fees in professional organizations.

We have agreed to maintain a minimum of $5,000,000 of directors and officers liability coverage during his employment term and to indemnify him to the fullest extent permitted under Florida law. In the event of termination for death or disability, his estate is entitled to receive three months base salary at the then current rate, payable in a lump sum and continued payment for a payment of one year following his death of benefits under any employee benefit plan extended from time to time by us to our senior executives. In the event he is terminated for cause or without good reason, as defined under the agreement, he has no right to compensation or reimbursement or to participate in any benefit programs, except as may otherwise be provided by law, for any period subsequent to the effective date of termination. In the event of termination without cause, for good reason or change of control, as defined under the agreement, we are obligated to pay him 12 months base salary at the then current rate, to be paid from the date of termination until paid in full, any accrued benefits under any employee benefit plan extended to him, and he is entitled to immediate vesting of all granted but unvested options and the payment on a pro rate basis of any bonus or other payments earned in connection with any bonus plan to which he is a participant. The agreement also contains a non-competition and non-solicitation provision for a period of up to nine months from the date of termination.

Steve Rogai

On March 13, 2013, Steve Rogai and the Company entered into an Agreement and General Release (“Severance Agreement”) terminating his employment as chief executive officer as of that date. As part of this agreement and under the provisions of Mr. Rogai’s employment agreement, Mr. Rogai received severance including: (i) twelve (12) months base salary totaling $225,000, payable in four equal quarterly installments; (ii) quarterly payments totaling $14,091 representing reimbursement of one years’ health insurance premiums; (iii) $5,990 in accrued but unused vacation pay; and (iv) $3,000 in transitional auto allowance.

Employment Agreements Subsequent to Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2014

Each of Ms. Mather and Messrs. DeCecco, and Stastney is party to an employment agreement with IBI, each of which was assigned to Infusion in connection with the Infusion Merger. The agreements provide for base salaries in the amount of $260,000 for Mr. DeCecco, $150,000 for Ms. Mather, and $175,000 for Mr. Stastney. Each agreement also provides for ordinary executive benefits and perquisites, and imposes standard non-competition and non-solicitation covenants. The agreements contain a provision which provides that for 360 days following any change in control, the termination or resignation of the employee will be treated as a termination without cause. As such, the employee would be entitled to severance compensation equal to the remaining compensation left for the term of his agreement, and all unvested stock, stock equivalents or stock options would immediately vest in full, free of Company-imposed restrictions. “Change in control” means either: (i) any person, entity or group acquires 51% or more of either the outstanding shares of common stock or the combined voting power of the company's outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; or (ii) Infusion's shareholders approve a reorganization, merger or consolidation with respect to which persons who were the shareholders of Infusion immediately prior to such event no longer own 51% or great of the outstanding voting securities of Infusion. In connection with the Infusion Merger, each such employee has executed an amendment to their employment agreement with Infusion to set the expiration date of the employment agreements at June 15, 2018, and waive for 360 days any right to change in control payments to which they might otherwise be entitled upon resignation or termination for cause following the Infusion Merger.

Equity incentive plans

We presently have three equity compensation plans, including the As Seen On TV, Inc. 2010 Equity Compensation Plan, as amended, which we refer to as the Executive Plan, the As Seen On TV, Inc. Non-Executive Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, which we refer to as the Non-Executive Plan and the As Seen On TV, Inc. 2013 Equity Compensation Plan, as amended, which we refer to as the 2013 Plan. The purpose of the each plan is to attract, retain and provide incentives to our employees, officers, directors and consultants thereby increasing shareholder value. Following is a description of these plans.

In June 2010 our board of directors adopted our Executive Plan and our Non-Executive Plan and initially reserved 600,000 shares and 500,000 shares, respectively, for grants under these plans. Our shareholders approved these plans in March 2010 and May 2010, respectively. In February 2011, in connection with a reverse split of our common stock which would have proportionally reduced the number of shares reserved for issuance under these plans, our shareholders approved amendments to these plans changing the number of shares reserved for issuance to 300,000 shares and 300,000 shares, respectively.

In September 2012 our board of directors adopted our 2013 Plan and we initially reserved 3,000,000 shares for grants under this plan. During March 2013 our board of directors increased the number of shares available for grants under this plan to 6,000,000 shares and during May 2013 to 9,000,000 shares. This plan was approved by a vote of our shareholders on September 16, 2013.

At March 31, 2014 there are outstanding:

·

options to purchase 700,000 shares of our common stock under the Executive Plan with exercise prices ranging from $0.82 to $2,20 per share;

·

options to purchase 600,000 shares of our common stock under the Non-Executive Plan with exercise prices ranging from $0.68 to $0.96 per share; and

·

options to purchase 4,532,500 shares of our common stock under the 2013 Plan with exercise prices ranging from $0.35 to $0.70 per share.

·

options to purchase 1,841,336 shares of our common stock to the former eDiets option holders in connection with the acquisition with exercise prices ranging from $0.21 to $17.84 per share.

Other than the number of shares reserved for issuance under each plan, the terms of the Executive Plan, the Non-Executive Plan and the 2013 Plan are identical.

The plans each provide for the grant of incentive stock options, or ISOs, nonqualified stock options, or NSOs, stock purchase rights, stock appreciation rights and restricted and unrestricted stock awards. Such shares are currently authorized and unissued, but reserved for issuance. The Executive Plan is reserved primarily for our executive officers and the Non-Executive Plan is reserved primarily for our non-executive employees. Grants under the 2013 Plan are made to our directors, executive officers, employees and consultants. Each plan has a term of 10 years. Accordingly, no grants may be made under the any plan after the 10 year anniversary of its date of adoption, but each plan will continue thereafter while previously granted stock options or stock awards remain outstanding and unexercised.



38



 


These plans are administered by our board of directors or a committee appointed by the board of directors, which we refer to as the Committee. The Committee has the power and authority to make grants of stock options or stock awards or any combination thereof to eligible persons under the plan, including the selection of such recipients, the determination of the size of the grant, and the determination of the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the plans, of any such grant including, but not limited to:

·

approval of the forms of agreement for use;

·

the applicable exercise price;

·

the applicable exercise periods;

·

the applicable vesting period;

·

the acceleration or waiver of forfeiture provisions; and

·

any other restrictions or limitations regarding the stock option or stock award.

The Committee also has the authority, in its discretion, to prescribe, amend and rescind the administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the plans, as it from time to time deems advisable. The Committee may construe and interpret the terms of the plans and any stock options or stock awards issued under the plans and any agreements relating thereto and otherwise supervise the administration of the plans. In addition, the Committee may modify or amend each stock option or stock award granted under the plans. All decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the plans are final and binding on all persons, including our company and all plan participants.

Our employees, directors and consultants providing services to us are eligible to be granted non-qualified stock options and stock awards under the plans. Our employees are also eligible to receive incentive stock options. The Committee shall select from among the eligible persons under the plans as recommended by our senior management, from time to time in its sole discretion, to make certain grants of stock options or stock awards, and the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, the number of shares covered by each grant.

Stock options may be granted to eligible persons alone or in addition to stock awards under the plans. Any stock option granted under the plans will be in such form as the Committee approves, and the provisions of a stock option award need not be the same with respect to each optionee. Recipients of stock options must enter into a stock option agreement with us, in the form determined by the Committee, setting forth the term, the exercise price and provisions regarding exercisability of the stock options granted thereunder. The Committee may grant either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options or a combination thereof, but the Committee may not grant incentive stock options to any individual who is not our employee. To the extent that any stock option does not qualify as an incentive stock option, it constitutes a separate non-qualified stock option. The Committee may not grant to any employee incentive stock options that first become exercisable in any calendar year in an amount exceeding $100,000.

Incentive stock options and nonstatutory stock options may not be granted at less than the fair market value of the underlying common stock at the date of the grant. Incentive stock options may not be granted at less than 110% of fair market value if the employee owns or is deemed to own more than 10% of the combined voting power of the all classes of our stock at the time of the grant. Stock options can be exercisable at various dates, as determined by the Committee and will expire no more than 10 years from the grant date, or no more than five years for any stock option granted to an employee who owns or is deemed to own 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of our stock. Once vested, stock options granted under the plans are exercisable in whole or in part at any time during the option period by giving written notice to us and paying the option price:

·

in cash or by certified check,

·

through delivery of shares of common stock having a fair market value equal to the purchase price, or

·

a combination of these methods.

The Committee may also permit cashless exercises of stock options.

Stock options issued under the plans may not be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During an optionee’s lifetime, a stock option may be exercised only by the optionee. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, stock options that are exercisable at the time of a recipient’s termination of service with our company will continue to be exercisable for three months thereafter, or for 12 months thereafter if the optionee’s employment is terminated due to their death or disability.



39



 


Stock appreciation rights may be granted to eligible persons alone or in addition to stock options or other stock awards under the plans. The Committee will determine the number of shares of common stock to which the stock appreciation rights shall relate. Each stock appreciation right will have an exercise period determined by the Committee not to exceed 10 years from the grant date. Upon exercise of a stock appreciation right, the holder will receive cash or a number of shares of common stock equal to:

·

the number of shares for which the stock appreciation right is exercised multiplied by the appreciation in the fair market value of a share of common stock between the stock appreciation right grant date and exercise date, divided by

·

the fair market value of a share of common stock on the exercise date of the stock appreciation right.

Stock purchase rights may be granted to eligible persons alone or in addition to stock options or other stock awards under the plans. A stock purchase right allows a recipient to purchase a share of common stock at a price determined by the Committee. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, we have the right to repurchase the shares of common stock acquired upon exercise of the stock purchase right upon the recipient’s termination of service, for any reason, prior to the satisfaction of the vesting conditions established by the Committee. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, our right of repurchase will lapse as to 1/6th of the purchase shares on the date that is six months after the grant date, and as to an additional 1/6th of such shares every six months thereafter. Upon exercise of a stock purchase right, the purchaser will have all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares of common stock acquired.

Stock purchase rights may not be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and during a recipient’s lifetime, a purchase grant may be exercised only by the recipient. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if a recipient’s service to us terminates for any reason, all stock purchase rights held by the recipient will automatically terminate.

Restricted and unrestricted stock awards may be granted to eligible persons alone or in addition to stock options or other stock awards under the plans. Shares of common stock granted in connection with a restricted stock award are generally subject to forfeiture upon:

·

termination of the recipient’s service with our company prior to vesting. or

·

the failure by the recipient to meet performance goals established by the Committee as a condition of vesting.

Shares of common stock subject to a restricted stock award cannot be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until the applicable restrictions lapse. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, holders of shares of common stock granted in connection with a restricted stock award have the right to vote such shares and to receive any cash dividends with respect thereto during the restriction period. Any stock dividends will be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying shares of restricted stock. Unrestricted stock awards are outright grants of shares of common stock that are not subject to forfeiture.

If:

·

we merge or consolidate with another corporation,

·

there is an exchange of substantially all of our outstanding stock for shares of another entity in which our shareholders will own less than 50% of the voting shares of the surviving entity, or

·

we sell substantially all of our assets,

then, unless otherwise provided by the Committee in a grantee’s option or award agreement, each outstanding and unexercised stock option or stock award may be assumed by the successor corporation or an equivalent option, or stock award will be substituted by the successor. If, however, the successor does not assume the stock options and stock awards or substitute equivalent stock options or stock awards, then each outstanding and unexercised stock option and stock award shall become exercisable for a period of at least 20 days prior to the effective date of such transaction and our right of repurchase with respect to shares covered by all outstanding stock purchase rights and all restrictions with respect to restricted stock awards will lapse. Any stock options, or stock awards that are not exercised during such 20-day period shall terminate at the end of such period.

Stock options and stock awards made under the plans will be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of common stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the common stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of common stock effected without receipt of consideration by us.

eDiets’ plans

Pursuant to a merger agreement with eDiets, effective February 28, 2013, upon the closing of the transaction we assumed the eDiets.com Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan and the eDiets.com, Inc. Stock Option Plan and all options issuable under such plans totaling 2,913,807 options.

At the effective time of the merger with eDiets, each eDiets option that remained outstanding and unexercised following the effective time was deemed amended and is now exercisable for shares of our common stock. The terms and conditions of the options remained the same, except that the number of shares covered by the option, and the exercise price was adjusted to reflect the exchange ratio of 1.2667. The exercise price per share is now equal to the exercise price prior to the effective time, divided by the exchange ratio.

ITEM 13.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

Transactions with Related Persons

During our second fiscal quarter 2014, the Company repaid $50,000 in principal to our director (Kevin Richardson II), and the remaining $50,000 was repaid with related interest in the third quarter.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

As Seen On TV, Inc.



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of As Seen On TV, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2014. The 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 audit 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 consolidated financial position of As Seen On TV, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans considering these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.

Description of Our Business and Liquidity

Description of Our Business

As Seen On TV, Inc. (“ASTV”, “we”, “our” or the “Company”) is a direct response marketing company and owner of AsSeenOnTV.com and eDiets.com. We identify, develop and market consumer products for global distribution via TV, Internet and retail channels. Following our February 2013 acquisition of eDiets.com, Inc. (“eDiets”), our business is organized along two segments. The As Seen On TV (“ASTV”) segment is a direct response marketing company that identifies and advises in the development and marketing of consumer products. The eDiets segment is a subscription-based nationwide weight-loss oriented digital subscription service and, until our discontinuance of the meal delivery component in September 2013, provided dietary and wellness oriented meal delivery services. See Note 4.

On February 28, 2013, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of eDiets pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among our Company, eDiets Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of our Company, and eDiets, dated October 31, 2012. Following the closing, eDiets became a wholly owned subsidiary of our Company (See Note 3). Accordingly, the operating results of eDiets are included in the financial statements from the acquisition date.

Effective April 2, 2014, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Infusion Brands International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“IBI”), Infusion Brands, Inc. (“Infusion” or “Infusion Brands”), a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of IBI, ASTV Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Infusion Merger”). Effective April 2, 2014. ASTV Merger Sub, Inc. merged with and into Infusion Brands, Inc., with Infusion Brands, Inc. continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The merger transaction will be accounted for as a reverse merger under the provision of Financial Accounting Standards Board, Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 805, whereby Infusion Brands, Inc. became the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and the Company (As Seen On TV, Inc.) was treated as the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). The historical financial records of the Company will be those of the accounting acquirer adjusted to reflect the legal capital of the accounting acquiree. (See Note 15).


ASTV, a Florida corporation, was organized in November 2006. Our executive offices are located in Clearwater, Florida.


ASTV


ASTV generates revenues primarily from three channels, including direct response sales of consumer products, sale of consumer products through a “live-shop” TV venue and ownership of the url AsSeenOnTV.com which operates as a web based outlet for our Company and other direct response businesses.

Inventors and entrepreneurs submit products or business concepts for our review. Once we identify a suitable product or concept, we negotiate to obtain marketing and distribution rights. These marketing and distribution agreements typically provide for revenue sharing in the form of a royalty to the inventor or product owner. As of the date of this report, we have marketed several products with limited success.

Under the terms of an agreement dated November 20, 2013, Tru Hair, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, licensed certain trademarks to a third party in exchange for a cash payment of $25,000 and an undertaking by the third party to use reasonable best efforts to market, distribute and sell certain items held by Tru Hair, Inc.

eDiets


eDiets develops and markets Internet-based diet and fitness programs, primarily through the url eDiets.com. eDiets also offered through September 2013, a subscription-based nationwide weight-loss oriented meal delivery service. Digital diet plans are personalized according to an individual’s weight goals, food and cooking preferences, and include the related shopping lists and recipes.

Liquidity and Going Concern

At March 31, 2014, we had a cash balance of $5,400, a working capital deficit of approximately $2.9 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $22.9 million. We have experienced losses from operations since our inception, and we have relied on a series of private placements and convertible debentures to fund our operations. The Company cannot predict how long it will continue to incur losses or whether it will ever become profitable.

Pursuant to a Senior Note Purchase Agreement dated as of April 3, 2014, by and among the Company, IBI, Infusion, eDiets.com, Inc., Tru Hair, Inc., TV Goods Holding Corporation, Ronco Funding LLC (collectively, the “Credit Parties”), and MIG7 Infusion, LLC (“MIG7” and such agreement, the “Note Purchase Agreement”), the Credit Parties sold to MIG7 a senior secured note having a principal amount of $10,180,000 bearing interest at 14% and having a maturity date of April 3, 2015 (the “MIG7 Note”).  See Note 15.

We have undertaken, and will continue to implement, various measures to address our financial condition, including:


·

Significantly curtailing costs and consolidating operations, where feasible.

·

Seeking debt, equity and other forms of financing, including funding through strategic partnerships.

·

Reducing operations to conserve cash.

·

Deferring certain marketing activities.

·

Investigating and pursuing transactions with third parties, including strategic transactions and relationships.


There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure the additional funding we need. If our efforts to do so are unsuccessful, we will be required to further reduce or eliminate our operations and/or seek relief through a filing under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Note 2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of 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 amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Our management believes the estimates utilized in preparing our consolidated financial statements are reasonable. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on an evaluation of our outstanding accounts receivable including the age of amounts due, the financial condition of our specific customers, knowledge of our industry unit and historical bad debt experience. This evaluation methodology has proved to provide a reasonable estimate of bad debt expense in the past and we intend to continue to employ this approach in our analysis of collectability.



F-9



AS SEEN ON TV, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)



Allowance for Sales Returns: In the direct response industry, purchased items are generally returnable for a certain period after purchase. We attempt to estimate returns and provide an allowance for sales returns where applicable. Our estimates are based on historical experience and knowledge of the products sold. The allowance for estimated sales returns totaled $0 and approximately $157,000 at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses.

Goodwill: Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to periodic testing for impairment in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350 -- Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. The test for impairment was to be conducted annually or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change indicating that the fair value of the goodwill may be below its carrying amount. In connection with the Company’s decision to divest the dietary meal delivery component in September 2013, the Company determined that it would not be able to recover the carrying value of its investment in this component and therefore recorded a loss of $9,300,000 related to the associated goodwill, which was recorded in loss from discontinued operations.

The following provides a roll-forward of the Company’s goodwill:

Balance as of April 1, 2013

$

9,300,000

 

Impairment

 

(9,300,000

)

Balance as of March 31, 2014

$

 


Intangible Assets: Intangible assets include acquired customer relationships, urls and trademarks. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets of five years in accordance with ASC Topic 350 -- Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. Long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. In connection with the Company’s decision to divest the dietary meal delivery component in September 2013, the Company determined that it would not be able to recover the carrying value of its finite-lived intangible assets in this component and therefore recorded a loss of approximately $5,331,000 which represented the excess carrying value over the related fair value of these assets, which was recorded in loss from discontinued operations.

Income Taxes: We use the asset and liability method to determine our income tax expense or benefit. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any resulting net deferred tax assets are evaluated for recoverability and, accordingly, a valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are recorded in the balance sheet at cost, which approximates fair value. All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are to be considered cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash totaling $83,267 and $450,000 at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, represents funds held by eDiets credit card processors.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue from product sales in accordance with FASB ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition. Following agreements or orders from customers, we ship products to our customers often through a third party facilitator. Revenue from product sales is only recognized when substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to our customers, the selling price is fixed and collection is reasonably assured. Typically, these criteria are met when our customer’s order is received and we receive acknowledgment of receipt by a third party shipper and collection is reasonably assured.



F-10



AS SEEN ON TV, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)



We recognized deferred revenue for our dietary meal delivery program as payment was made in advance of the actual meal delivery. We also recognize deferred revenue related to our online dietary subscription services as payments are made in advance of the full subscription period. As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, we had deferred revenue of approximately $39,000 and $174,000, respectively.

The Company has a return policy on its ASTV sales whereby the customer can return any product within 60-days of receipt for a full refund, excluding shipping and handling. However, historically the Company has accepted returns past 60-days of receipt. The Company provides an allowance for returns based upon specific product warranty agreements and past experience and industry knowledge. All significant returns for the periods presented have been offset against gross sales. The Company also provides a reserve for warranties, which is not significant and is included in accrued expense.

eDiets’ meal delivery revenue, through the divestiture date, was recognized upon delivery and transfer of title to the product. This occurred upon shipment from the Company’s fulfillment center and delivery to the end-customer. eDiets’ digital revenue is generated by the Company offering membership subscriptions to the proprietary content contained in its websites. Subscriptions were paid in advance, mainly via credit/debit cards, and cash receipts are recognized as deferred revenue and are recorded as revenue on a straight-line basis over the period of the digital plan subscription. Commencing in fiscal 2014, the Company changed its billing policies for subscriptions, charging our customers on a monthly basis rather than annually in advance.

Receivables

Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from the sale of our direct response, home shopping related products and dietary programs. Our allowance for doubtful accounts at March 31, 2014, and 2013, totaled $22,000 and $152,000, respectively. The allowances are estimated based on historical customer experience and industry knowledge.

Inventories and Advances on Inventory Purchases

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using a first-in, first-out, or FIFO, method. We review our inventory for excess or obsolete inventory and write-down obsolete or otherwise unmarketable inventory to its estimated net realizable value.

Advances on inventory purchases represent payments made to our product suppliers in advance of delivery to the Company. It is common industry practice to require a substantial deposit against products ordered before commencement of manufacturing, particularly with off-shore suppliers. Additional advance payments may also be required upon achievement of certain agreed upon manufacturing or shipment benchmarks. Upon delivery and receipt by the Company of the items ordered, and the Company taking title to the goods, the balances are transferred to inventory.

Property and Equipment, net

We record property, equipment and leasehold improvements at historical cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are recorded to expense; additions and improvements are capitalized. We provide for depreciation using the straight-line method at rates that approximate the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the remaining term of the lease.

Property and equipment, net consists of the following:

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted effect of all common shares issued and outstanding and is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation plus the number of common shares, if any, that would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding.

Subsequent to March 31, 2014, the Company entered into two transactions issuing a material number of common shares and warrants. See Note 15. On April 2, 2014, the Company entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger issuing 452,960,490 shares of common stock. On April 3, 2014, the Company entered into a Senior Note Purchase Agreement in the principal amount of $10,180,000, which transaction included the issuance of a common stock purchase warrant, exercisable at $0.0001 per share until April 3, 2015, unless extended, for 4.99% of the Company’s common stock outstanding on a fully diluted basis on the date of exercise.  The above earnings (loss) per share calculations do not reflect these additional common shares and warrants which, if included, would have had a material dilutive effect on income per share from continuing operations for both fiscal 2014 and 2013.

Share-Based Payments

We recognize share-based compensation expense on stock option awards under the provisions of ASC 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation. Compensation expense is recognized on that portion of option awards that are expected to ultimately vest over the vesting period from the date of grant. All options granted vest over their requisite service periods which can vary from 6 months to 5 years. We granted no stock options or other equity awards which vest based on performance or market criteria. We had applied an estimated forfeiture rate to all share-based awards, which represents that portion we expected would be forfeited over the vesting period. We reevaluate this analysis periodically and adjust our estimated forfeiture rate as necessary.

We utilized the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of our stock options. Calculating share-based compensation expense requires the input of highly subjective judgment and assumptions, including estimates of expected life of the award, stock price volatility, forfeiture rates and risk-free interest rates. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based awards represent our best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our share-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

In addition, under the provisions of ASC 805—Business Combinations, the Company recognized as stock-based compensation the difference in fair value between the eDiets options outstanding at the acquisition date and the replacement ASTV options granted. The fair value of the eDiets’ options replaced was recorded as consideration transferred in the acquisition. The excess fair value of the ASTV replacement options over the fair value of the eDiets options was recognized as compensation cost in the year ended March 31, 2013 since substantially all the options were fully vested. Accordingly, the Company recorded $694,000 in stock-based compensation in March 2013 related to these replacement options.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review our long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, and acquired intangibles subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. Impairment losses are recorded for the excess, if any, of the carrying value over the fair value of the long-lived assets. In connection with the Company’s decision to divest the eDiets dietary meal delivery component in September 2013, the Company determined that it would not be able to recover the carrying value of its finite-lived intangible assets in that component and therefore recorded a loss of approximately $5,331,000, which represented the excess carrying value over the related fair value of these assets, which was recorded in loss from discontinued operations.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740 — Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, we consider tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which we operate, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of FASB ASC 740 — Income Taxes.

FASB ASC 740 also requires that we recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are held with financial institutions in the United States and from time to time we may have balances that exceed the amount of insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation on such deposits. Concentration of credit risk with respect to our trade accounts receivable to our customers is limited to approximately $94,000 at March 31, 2014. Credit is extended to our customers, based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and collateral is not required.

Advertising and Promotional Costs

Advertising and promotional costs are expensed when incurred and totaled approximately $35,000 and $170,000 for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB ASC 820 requires disclosures about the fair value of all financial instruments, whether or not recognized, for financial statement purposes. Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments are based on pertinent information available to us on March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Accordingly, the estimates presented in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized on disposition of the financial instruments.

FASB ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded instruments and listed equities.

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 includes financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models consider various assumptions, including volatility factors, current market prices and contractual prices for the underlying financial instruments. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of notes payable are based on borrowing rates that are available to the Company for loans with similar terms, collateral and maturity. The estimated fair value of notes payable approximates the carrying value. Determination of fair value of related party payables is not practicable due to their related party nature.

Accounting Standards Updates

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360):  Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” The amendments in the ASU change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures to this area. It also addresses sources of confusion and inconsistent application related to financial reporting of discontinued operations guidance in GAAP. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. In addition, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. The new guidance also requires disclosure of the pre-tax income attributable to a disposal of a significant part of an organization that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. This disclosure will provide users with information about the ongoing trends in a reporting organization’s results from continuing operations. The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this ASU will have on its financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB has issued No. 2014-09, “Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. The guidance in this update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”. In addition, the existing requirements for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of nonfinancial assets that are not in a contract with a customer (for example, assets within the scope of Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, and intangible assets within the scope of Topic 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other) are amended to be consistent with the guidance on recognition and measurement (including the constraint on revenue) in this Update. Under the new guidance, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in ASU No. 2014-09 are effect for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this ASU will have on its financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. All inter-company account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and certain prior period amounts, including those related to discontinued operations, have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

Note 3.

eDiets Acquisition and Sale of Meal Delivery Service

On February 28, 2013, the Company completed the purchase of 100% of the outstanding common stock of eDiets.com, Inc., a publicly held company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (“eDiets”), offering subscription-based weight-loss oriented meal delivery service and individualized digital subscription-based weight-loss and wellness programs. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among our Company, eDiets Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of our Company, and eDiets, dated October 31, 2012 we issued an aggregate of 19,077,686 shares of our common stock, at the ratio of 1.2667 shares of our common stock for each outstanding share of eDiets’ common stock, to the eDiets’ stockholders. Following the closing, eDiets became a wholly owned subsidiary of our Company.

At completion, we believed the acquisition of eDiets could create a more scalable business and facilitate our strategic objective of becoming one of the top providers of ecommerce products and solutions. In addition, while there were no assurances, it was anticipated that the acquisition would allow us to expand our product offerings, realize potential synergies in marketing and media purchases, realize potential cost savings in administrative expenses and the costs associated with public company compliance, and take advantage of product cross-selling opportunities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)



The total purchase price for eDiets was approximately $15.1 million. The purchase price consisted of approximately (i) $2.4 million in cash, (ii) $11.1 million in the Company’s common stock, valued based on the closing price of the stock on February 28, 2013, (iii) $0.9 million representing the fair value of the Company’s options issued to eDiets’ employees and warrants issued to eDiets consultants, and (iv) assumed liability of $600,000 in principal and $92,057 of related accrued interest in eDiets notes payable to related parties, which converted into 988,654 shares of common stock at $0.70 per share and warrants to purchase 494,328 shares of common stock of the Company, all pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger. In accordance with accounting standards of business combinations, we accounted for the acquisition of eDiets under the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition were recorded in the consolidated financial statements at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets has been recorded as goodwill. eDiets’ results of operations are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

The determination of the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed required management to make significant estimates and assumptions. We determined the fair value by applying established valuation techniques, based on information that management believed to be relevant to this determination. The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:

The purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired by $9,300,000, which was recorded as goodwill. Acquisition costs, consisting of legal, consulting and other costs related to the acquisition aggregated approximately $278,000 and included $82,650 for an acquisition consulting fee payable in 142,500 shares of common stock which were issued in July 2013.

In connection with the Company’s decision to divest the dietary meal delivery component in September 2013, the Company determined that it would not be able to recover the carrying value of its investment in this component and therefore recorded a loss which is included in discontinued operations. See Note 4.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any revenues or expenses related to the eDiets business on or prior to February 28, 2013, the closing date of the acquisition. The consolidated statements of operations for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 include a loss from discontinued operations of approximately $15,326,000 and $440,000, respectively, related to eDiets.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company acquired an aggregate of $463,672 of notes payable, consisting of $100,000 due to a former director of eDiets, $100,000 due to a former director of eDiets who is currently a director of the Company and $263,672 due to a former landlord of eDiets. The annual interest rate on the director and former director notes is 5%. The landlord note is interest free, absent default.

In addition, under the provisions of ASC 805—Business Combinations, the Company recognized as stock-based compensation the difference in fair value between the eDiets options outstanding at the acquisition date and the replacement ASTV options granted. The fair value of the eDiets’ options replaced was recorded as consideration in the acquisition. The excess fair value of the ASTV replacement options over the fair value of the eDiets options, totaling approximately $694,000, was recognized as compensation cost in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013.

At the time of acquisition, eDiets had approximately $61.2 million in net operating loss carryforwards. Those net operating loss carryforwards will be subject to the Internal Revenue Code 382 ownership change rules which will limit future use by eDiets, as a subsidiary of the Company, to approximately $0.50 million per year.

Note 4.

Discontinued Operations

On October 11, 2013, the Company completed the sale to Chefs Diet National Co., LLC (“Chef’s Diet”), a subsidiary of Chef’s Diet Corp., of certain assets (the “Meal Delivery Assets”) relating to the eDiets meal delivery business pursuant to an Asset Purchase and Revenue Sharing Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated August 23, 2013 between eDiets and Chef’s Diet. The disposed assets consist primarily of a customer database of active and inactive eDiets customers. In addition, eDiets granted Chef’s Diet a perpetual royalty-free license to content and certain other intellectual property used in connection with the eDiets meal delivery business. While the transaction was not completed until October 11, 2013, the transaction met the criteria of held-for-sale accounting as of September 30, 2013 and has been presented in accordance with the provisions of ASC 205-20 Discontinued Operations for all periods presented.

The base sales price of $1.1 million consisted of an initial cash payment of $200,000, of which $100,000 was collected prior to September 30, 2013, with the additional $100,000 collected during the three months ended December 31, 2013, plus deferred cash payments totaling $900,000 payable as follows: (i) eight quarterly payments beginning April 1, 2014 in an amount equal to the greater of $56,250 or 7% of adjusted gross revenue for the immediately preceding period, and (ii) eight quarterly payments beginning April 1, 2016 in an amount equal to the greater of $56,250 or 5% of adjusted gross revenue for the immediately preceding period. In addition, Chef’s Diet will make up to four quarterly bonus payments of up to $50,000 each if it meets certain customer acquisition and retention targets.

The Company’s meal delivery operations were a component of our eDiets subsidiary which delivered fresh and frozen diet or wellness focused meals to our customers. Management believes this divestiture allowed the Company to streamline its operations and better focus its limited recourses on ecommerce based platforms, which it believes is the future of the dietary and wellness industries.

In connection with the Agreement, the Company retained a perpetual, nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty free right and license to use the Meal Delivery Assets in its business provided that it shall not utilize such assets to promote any fresh, frozen or prepared meal program, as defined.

For the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s meal delivery component had operational losses of $1,812,507 and $439,710, respectively. As a result of this divestiture, the Company recognized a non-cash charge of $14,631,000, including a write down of goodwill of $9,300,000 and $5,331,000 in identifiable intangible assets, resulting from the Company’s determination that it would not be able to recover the carrying value of its investment in this component and that it would not be able to recover the carrying value of its finite-lived intangible assets in this component and therefore recorded the related loss in discontinued operations. As a result of this impairment, the Company carries no remaining goodwill. No tangible assets or liabilities were transferred in the divestiture of the meal delivery component.

The results of operations for the meal delivery component has been reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. The following table summarizes the results of operations for the discontinued component:

Warrant Liabilities

Warrants issued in connection with several private placements contain provisions that protect holders from a decline in the issue price of our common stock (or “down-round” provisions) or that contain net settlement provisions. The Company accounts for these warrants as liabilities instead of equity. Down-round provisions reduce the exercise or conversion price of a warrant or convertible instrument if a company either issues equity shares for a price that is lower than the exercise or conversion price of those instruments or issues new warrants or convertible instruments that have a lower exercise or conversion price. Net settlement provisions allow the holder of the warrant to surrender shares underlying the warrant equal to the exercise price as payment of its exercise price, instead of physically exercising the warrant by paying cash. The Company evaluates whether warrants to acquire its common stock contain provisions that protect holders from declines in the stock price or otherwise could result in modification of the exercise price and/or shares to be issued under the respective warrant agreements based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option.

The Company recognizes these warrants as liabilities at their fair value and remeasures them at fair value on each reporting date.

Note 9.

Income Taxes

At March 31, 2014 and 2013, we had gross deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities of $11.26 million and $ 7.60 million, respectively. We determined that it is not “more likely than not” that such assets will be realized, and as such have applied a valuation allowance of $11.26 million and $7.60 million as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We evaluate our ability to realize our deferred tax assets each period and adjust the amount of our valuation allowance, if necessary. We operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to audit in those jurisdictions. Because of the complex issues involved, any claims can require an extended period to resolve.

FASB ASC 740 – Income Taxes requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. A review of all available positive and negative evidence needs to be considered, including our current and past performance, the market environment in which we operate, the utilization of past tax credits and length of carry-back and carry-forward periods. Forming a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed is difficult when there is negative objective evidence such as cumulative losses in recent years. Cumulative losses weigh heavily in the overall assessment. We have applied a 100% valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2014 and 2013.

A reconciliation between the amount of income tax benefit determined by applying the applicable US statutory income tax rate to pre-tax loss is as follows:

The valuation allowance increased by approximately $3.66 million for the year ended March 31, 2014. For the year ended March 31, 2013, the valuation allowance initially increased by approximately $2.49 million. Then, as a result of the eDiets acquisition (see Note 3), it increased by $.86 million, resulting in a net increase for the year of $3.35 million.

If there is an ownership change, as defined under Internal Revenue Code section 382, the use of net operating loss and credit carry-forwards may be subject to limitation on use. On October 28, 2011, the Company underwent an ownership change, as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 382, which, in general, limits the use of prior year net operating tax losses in future years to approximately $1.5 million per year.

On February 28, 2013, eDiets was acquired with its approximately $61.2 million in net operating loss carry forwards. These net operating loss carry forwards will be subject to the Internal Revenue Code 382 ownership change rules which will limit future use by eDiets, as a subsidiary of the Company, to approximately $0.5 million per year.

If additional ownership changes, as defined under Internal Revenue Code Section 382, occur in the future, the use of the net operating losses listed above could be subject to further limitations.

Uncertain Tax Positions

We have no unrecognized income tax benefits as of March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013. There have been no material changes in unrecognized tax benefits through March 31, 2014. The fiscal years March 31, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are considered open tax years in U.S. federal and state tax jurisdictions. We currently do not have any audit investigations in any jurisdiction.

Note 10.

Related Party Transactions

Concurrent with the Company’s acquisition of eDiets on February 28, 2013, the Company issued 988,654 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 494,328 shares of common stock in settlement of $600,000 of eDiets related party debt and $92,057 in related interest to an eDiets director and one former director.

Prior to the deadline for the defendants to answer the complaint, the plaintiff and the defendants in the case filed a stipulation with the court allowing the plaintiff to file an amended complaint. The Company’s acquisition of eDiets was consummated on February 28, 2013. On November 19, 2013, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the case without prejudice.

On May 2, 2013, effective May 1, 2013, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Ronald C. Pruett Jr. to serve as our chief executive officer. The term of the agreement was for one year and provided for successive one-year periods unless a notice of non-renewal is given by either party or the agreement is otherwise terminated sooner in accordance with its provisions. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Pruett received an annual base salary of $275,000, together with an additional salary of $275,000 during the first year of his employment with us. Mr. Pruett’s base salary may be increased from time to time as determined by the compensation committee of the board of directors. Mr. Pruett voluntarily waived his right to receive payments on his additional salary of $275,000 beginning with the payroll period ending February 10, 2014, continuing until Mr. Pruett otherwise notifies the Company. In addition to his base salary, Mr. Pruett was entitled to receive an annual cash bonus calculated by reference to our actual performance during the immediately preceding fiscal year measured against a revenue and adjusted EBITDA (earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization) target to be established by Mr. Pruett and the compensation committee and approved by the board of directors. Mr. Pruett and the compensation committee did not establish a revenue and adjusted EBITDA target for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2014. Mr. Pruett also received an option grant to purchase 425,000 shares (the “First Option Grant”) of our common stock and a second option grant to purchase 2,625,000 shares (the “Second Option Grant”) of our common stock. The First Option Grant vested on the grant date, May 6, 2013, and has a per share exercise price equal to $0.35, the average of the high bid and low asked prices of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on the trading day immediately preceding the grant date. The Second Option Grant had a per share exercise price equal to $0.70. The Second Option Grant vests in four equal tranches on May 6, 2013, May 1, 2014, November 1, 2014 and May 1, 2015. Provided that the agreement had not been terminated, on December 31, 2013, Mr. Pruett became entitled to receive subsequent grants of stock and options, at the compensation committee’s option, with an aggregate value of at least $918,750, vesting in four equal tranches on the grant date, May 1, 2014, November 1, 2014 and May 1, 2015. Mr. Pruett was not granted any additional stock options.

If Mr. Pruett’s employment was terminated due to death, his estate would receive (i) six months’ base salary at his then current rate in a lump sum payment and (ii) one year of continued coverage under the Company’s employee benefit plans. If Mr. Pruett’s employment is terminated due to disability, he was to receive (i) six months’ base salary at his then current rate, (ii) one year of continued coverage under the Company’s employee benefit plans and (iii) any earned but unpaid bonuses, provided that the Company may credit against such amounts any proceeds paid to Mr. Pruett with respect to any disability policy maintained for his benefit. If Mr. Pruett’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or following a change in control or by Mr. Pruett for good reason or following a change in control, Mr. Pruett would have received (i) 12 months’ base salary at his then current rate, (ii) continued provision during such 12-month period of benefits under the Company’s employee benefit plans, (iii) immediate vesting of all granted but unvested stock options and (iv) a prorated payment of any bonus or other payments earned in connection with any bonus plan in which Mr. Pruett participated at the time of termination. The amount of each payment under (i) shall be reduced by one dollar for each three dollars otherwise payable, until the aggregate amount of all such reductions, together with the aggregate amount of bonus reductions described above, equals $275,000. Mr. Pruett would not be entitled to any compensation if his employment is terminated by the Company for cause or by Mr. Pruett in the absence of good reason.

Mr. Pruett voluntarily waived his right to receive Additional Compensation, as defined in Section 3(a) of his employment agreement with the Company, beginning with the payroll period ending February 10, 2014 and continuing until Mr. Pruett otherwise notified the Company. Following the Infusion Merger, he resigned as a director, April 2, 2014 and as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (and all positions with our subsidiaries), effective as of April 10, 2014. Mr. Pruett elected to terminate his employment effective May 1, 2014. The termination agreement modified certain terms of his employment agreement and provided that Mr. Pruett was entitled to receive the balance of additional salary due him totaling approximately $72,000, which will be paid over a period of approximately three months beginning May 1, 2014. In addition, in accordance with our stock option plans, options granted, both vested and unvested, will expire 90-days from the date of his resignation.

Leases

On February 1, 2012, the Company entered into a new 36-month lease agreement on our existing headquarters facility. Terms of the lease provide for a base rent payments of approximately $7,900 per month for the first twelve months, increasing 3% per year thereafter. The lease contained no provisions for a change in the base rent based on future events or contingent occurrences. In accordance with the provisions ASC 840-Leases, the Company is recognizing lease expenses on a straight-line basis, which total $8,100 per month over the lease term.

On August 23, 2013, the lease on our headquarters facility was amended, decreasing our base rent payments to approximately $5,700 per month and extending the term of the lease through January 31, 2018. The amended lease further provides for annual increases in the base rent commencing February 1, 2015, based on the Consumer Price Index of the immediately preceding calendar year but in no event less than 3% per annum. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 840 – Leases, the Company is recognizing lease expense on a straight line basis, which totals approximately $5,900 per month over the lease term.

During September 2012, eDiets entered into a one year lease for office space in Pompano Beach, Florida. The lease covered approximately 8,800 square feet at a monthly base rent of $9,800 per month. The Company did not renew this lease upon expiration and no longer occupies this facility.

The actual number of warrants to be granted under the agreement was subject to adjustment downward up to 50%, based upon certain performance goals being achieved relating to weight-loss. These provisions constitute a performance commitment within the meaning of ASC 505 — Equity. In accordance with ASC 505 — Equity, when equity instruments are issued to non-employees in exchange for the receipt of goods or services the equity instruments are measured at fair value at the earlier of the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete. The agreement did not contain a sufficiently large disincentive for nonperformance as forfeiture of the equity instrument is the sole remedy in the event of nonperformance. Therefore, a final measurement date could not be established until performance was complete and ASC 505 — Equity requires the recognition of expense from the transaction be measured at the then-current lowest aggregate fair value at each reporting period with changes in those lowest aggregate fair values between the reporting periods recognized in earnings. The first of two performance goals was met during March 2013 reducing the potential adjustment downward to 25%. On May 15, 2013, the second performance goal was not achieved and warrants to purchase 1,625,000 shares of common stock exercisable at prices from $0.01 to $2.00 per share were forfeited.

In March 2014, the Company determined that the unamortized prepaid component remaining under the licensing and endorsement had no further value as the Company is no longer using Eight Entertainment LLC for celebrity endorsements, advertising, or promotional programs and the remaining $79,000 was charged to campaign talent expense.  Further, in March 2014, the Company determined that performance under this agreement was complete under the provisions of ASC 505 for purposes of warrant valuation with no further valuations required.

The Company recognized marketing expense (income) under this agreement of approximately $(18,000) and $263,000, including approximately $(143,000) and $217,000 attributable to the warrants issued and $204,000 and $46,000 attributable to the cash component for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Equity Compensation Plans

In May 2010, the Company adopted its 2010 Executive Equity Incentive Plan and 2010 Non Executive Equity Incentive Plan (collectively, the “2010 Plans”) and granted 600,000 options and 450,000 options, respectively.

The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes options pricing model using the assumptions established at that time.

On June 4, 2012, the Company issued 30,000 options to a direct response consultant. The fair value of the options granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes options pricing model using the assumptions established at that time.

As the options vested upon grant, the entire fair value of $25,100 was charged to stock-based compensation immediately and is included in general and administrative expenses.

On September 24, 2012, the Company’s board of directors adopted the 2013 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2013 Plan” and, together with the 2010 Plans, the “Plans”) with terms similar to the previously adopted 2010 Plans. The 2013 Plan authorized the issuance of up to 3,000,000 options to purchase common stock. The 2013 Plan was modified in March 2013 authorizing the issuance of up to 6,000,000 options. On May 6, 2013, the 2013 Plan was further modified, increasing the shares of common stock reserved for issuance under such plan to 9,000,000 shares.

On December 15, 2012, the compensation committee granted 2,075,000 options from the remaining available options under the Plans. The options were granted to 17 employees and directors of the Company. The options granted vest at 20% per year over a five-year period and expire ten years from grant date. The fair value of the options granted was estimated on the grant date using the Black Scholes options pricing model using the assumptions established at that time.

On May 2, 2013, effective May 1, 2013, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Ronald C. Pruett Jr. to serve as our chief executive officer. As a component of his compensation package the board of directors approved an option grant to purchase 425,000 shares (the “First Option Grant”) of our common stock and a second option grant to purchase 2,625,000 shares (the “Second Option Grant”) of our common stock. The First Option Grant vested on the grant date, May 6, 2013, and has a per share exercise price equal to $0.35, the average of the high bid and low asked prices of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on the trading day immediately preceding the grant date. The Second Option Grant has a per share exercise price equal to $0.70. The Second Option Grant vests in four equal tranches on May 6, 2013, May 1, 2014, November 1, 2014 and May 1, 2015. Provided that the agreement has not been terminated, on December 31, 2013, Mr. Pruett became entitled to receive subsequent grants of stock and options, at the compensation committee’s discretion, with an aggregate value of at least $918,750, vesting in four equal tranches on the grant date, May 1, 2014, November 1, 2014 and May 1, 2015. Mr. Pruett was not granted any additional stock options. The following table includes the assumptions used in valuing these grants:

Mr. Pruett elected to terminate his employment effective May 1, 2014. The termination agreement modified certain terms of his employment agreement and provided that Mr. Pruett was entitled to receive the balance of additional salary due him totaling approximately $72,000, which will be paid over a period of approximately three months beginning May 1, 2014. In addition, in accordance with our stock option plans, options granted, both vested and unvested, will expire 90-days from the date of his resignation.

On August 1, 2013, the Company issued 500,000 stock options to Henrik Sandell to serve as the Company’s chief operating officer.

The weighted average grant date fair value of unvested options at March 31, 2014, was approximately $1,020,000 and will be expensed over a weighted average period of 1.17 years.

As of March 31, 2014, there were 5,392,500 options available for further issuance under the Plans.

In addition, under the provisions of ASC 805—Business Combinations, the Company recognized as stock-based compensation the difference in fair value between the eDiets options outstanding at the acquisition date and the replacement ASTV options granted. The fair value of the eDiets’ options replaced of $604,218 was recorded as consideration transferred in the acquisition. The excess fair value of the ASTV replacement options over the fair value of the eDiets options was recognized as compensation cost in the year ended March 31, 2013 since substantially all of the options were fully vested. Accordingly, the Company recorded $694,000 in stock-based compensation in March 2013.

No tax benefits are attributable to our share based compensation expense recorded in the accompanying financial statements because we are in a net operating loss position and a full valuation allowance is maintained for all net deferred tax assets. For stock options, the amount of the tax deductions is generally the excess of the fair market value of our shares of common stock over the exercise price of the stock options at the date of exercise.

In the event of any stock split of our outstanding shares of common stock, the board of directors in its discretion may elect to maintain the stated amount of shares reserved under the Plans without giving effect to such stock split. Subject to the limitation on the aggregate number of shares issuable under the Plans, there is no maximum or minimum number of shares as to which a stock grant or plan option may be granted to any person. Grants under the Plans may either be (i) ISOs, (ii) NSOs (iii) awards of our common stock or (iv) rights to make direct purchases of our common stock which may be subject to certain restrictions. Any option granted under the Plans must provide for an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant, but the exercise price of any ISO granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of our outstanding common stock must not be less than 110% of fair market value on the date of the grant. The Plans further provide that with respect to ISOs the aggregate fair market value of the common stock underlying the options which are exercisable by any option holder during any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. The term of each plan option and the manner in which it may be exercised is determined by the board of directors or the compensation committee, provided that no option may be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of its grant and, in the case of an incentive option granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of the common stock, no more than five years after the date of the grant.

At the effective time of the merger with eDiets, each eDiets option that remained outstanding and unexercised following the effective time was deemed amended and is now exercisable for shares of our common stock. The terms and conditions of the options remained the same, except that the number of shares covered by the option, and the exercise price was adjusted to reflect the exchange ratio of 1.2667. The exercise price per share is now equal to the exercise price prior to the effective time, divided by the exchange ratio. The above discussion reflects options and shares adjusted for the exchange ratio.

Segment Reporting

Commencing February 28, 2013, effective with the Company’s acquisition of eDiets, the Company organized its business into two operating segments to better align its organization based upon the Company’s management structure, products and services offered, markets served and types of customers. The ASTV segment derives its revenues from the marketing and sale of consumer direct response products, including Internet and TV “live shop” venues. The eDiets segment is a subscription-based nationwide weight-loss oriented digital subscription service and, until our discontinuance of the meal delivery component in September 2013, provided dietary and wellness oriented meal delivery services. See Note 4. Management reviews financial information presented on an operating segment basis for the purpose of making certain operating decisions and assessing financial performance.

Corporate and other expenses include costs that are not specific to a particular segment but are general to the group; included are expenses incurred for administrative and accounting staff, general liability and other insurance, professional fees and other similar corporate expenses. Corporate and other assets include cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and deposits.

The following tables reflect results of operations from our business segments for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

Subsequent Events

Infusion Merger


On April 2, 2014, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Infusion Merger Agreement”) with Infusion Brands International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“IBI”), Infusion Brands, Inc. (“Infusion”), a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of IBI, and ASTV Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Effective April 2, 2014. ASTV Merger Sub, Inc. merged with and into Infusion, with Infusion continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Infusion Merger”). Infusion, formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of IBI, is a Nevada corporation organized in July 2008. Infusion is engaged in identifying affordable and demonstrable products to market principally to domestic customers through direct-to-consumer channels such as television infomercials, live shopping networks, and ecommerce channels. Its products are also sold through web sites operated by the live shopping networks that agree to carry its products and its own proprietary websites. Infusion has been operating at a loss since its inception.

In addition, Infusion owns 100% of the membership interests of Ronco Funding LLC.  The sole assets of Ronco Funding LLC are a participation interest in the secured debt of Ronco Holdings, Inc. (“Ronco Holdings”) and an option to procure the remaining interest in such secured debt for an additional $2,350,000. Ronco Holdings is a Delaware company. Infusion also holds the right to designate the majority of the board of directors of Ronco Holdings.  Ronco Holdings products include, but are not limited to the Showtime Rotisserie & BBQ, 5-Tray Electric Food Dehydrator, Veg-o-Matic, Smart Juicer and Pocket Fisherman. Due to the ownership and rights to the Ronco Holdings secured debt and control over the Ronco Holdings board of directors, for accounting purposes, Ronco Holdings is treated as a variable interest entity, with Infusion being the primary beneficiary.

Pursuant to the terms of the Infusion Merger Agreement the Company issued to IBI 452,960,490 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Infusion common stock. As a result, IBI became the majority shareholder of the Company, owning approximately 85.2% of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of the date of the Infusion Merger and 75% of Company’s outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis. Pursuant to the terms of the Infusion Merger Agreement, the Company also agreed to increase the size of its board of directors from 5 to 7, to cause three of its existing directors to resign and to appoint 5 new persons, designated by IBI, to the Company board of directors. Kevin Harrington, Randolph Pohlman and Ronald C. Pruett, Jr. resigned from the Company’s board of directors and Robert DeCecco, Shadron Stastney, Dennis W. Healey, Mary Mather and Allen Clary were appointed to the Company’s board of directors. Mr. Clary subsequently resigned in June 2014. Following these actions, the Company’s board of directors is now comprised of Mr. DeCecco, chairperson, Kevin A. Richardson, II, Greg Adams, Mr. Stastney, Mr. Healey and Ms. Mather. Mr. Greg Adams and Mr. Kevin Richardson, II are each considered “independent” within the meaning of meaning of Rule 5605 of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules.

Under the Infusion Merger Agreement, the Company agreed to assume from Infusion all obligations for indebtedness for borrowed money of Infusion outstanding at the closing of the Infusion Merger and all agreements relating to that indebtedness. This indebtedness is primarily comprised of a Senior Secured Debenture issued to Vicis Capital Master Fund in the principal amount of $11,000,000, bearing interest at a rate of 6% until June 30, 2014, 9% from July 1, 2014 until June 30, 2015, and 12% from July 1, 2015 until the maturity date of June 30, 2016 (the “Senior Secured Debenture”). The Senior Secured Debenture is collateralized by all assets of the Company and guaranteed by each other Credit Party (as defined below), which guaranty will be collateralized by substantially all of the assets of those other Credit Parties. The Senior Secured Debenture is subject to customary covenants and events of default.

Pursuant to the terms of the Infusion Merger Agreement, IBI may require the Company to file a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of the Company’s common stock issued to IBI pursuant to the Infusion Merger. The Company has also agreed, at its cost and subject to certain limitations, to maintain the same level of director indemnification and insurance coverage as those in place for Infusion and IBI immediately prior to the Infusion Merger.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)



The Infusion Merger transaction will be treated as a reverse merger under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board, Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 805, whereby Infusion will be the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and the Company (As Seen On TV, Inc.) will be treated as the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). Accordingly, effective with the merger closing, the historical financial records of the Company will be those of the accounting acquirer adjusted to reflect the legal capital of the accounting acquiree.

Note Purchase Agreement

Pursuant to a Senior Note Purchase Agreement dated as of April 3, 2014, by and among the Company, Infusion, eDiets.com, Inc., Tru Hair, Inc., TV Goods Holding Corporation, Ronco Funding LLC (collectively, the “Credit Parties”), and MIG7 Infusion, LLC (“MIG7”), the Credit Parties sold to MIG7 a senior secured note having a principal amount of $10,180,000 bearing interest at 14% and having a maturity date of April 3, 2015 (the “MIG7 Note”). The MIG7 Note is subject to automatic extension for an additional 180-day period in the event that the Credit Parties have requested such extension in writing at least 60 days prior to the original maturity date, no event of default under the Senior Note Purchase Agreement is then in existence, and the Company’s consolidated revenues, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and EBITDA for the 12 months immediately preceding the request equal or exceed $39,000,000 and $6,000,000, respectively. During such extension the MIG7 Note would bear interest at a rate of 15.5%. Funding of the amounts borrowed under the MIG7 Note was made in two tranches, with the first funding of $7,400,000 occurring on April 3, 2014, and the second funding, which resulted in funding of an aggregate gross amount of $10,180,000 under the Senior Note Purchase Agreement, occurring on May 1, 2014.

Under the Senior Note Purchase Agreement, MIG7 is entitled to two board observer seats on each Credit Party’s board of directors, and, upon the written request of MIG7, to the nomination of two individuals selected by MIG7 for election to the board of directors of each Credit Party as full voting members of such boards.

Under the Senior Note Purchase Agreement, the Company also issued a warrant to purchase 4.99% of the common stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis, on the date of exercise, to MIG7 Warrant, LLC, an affiliate of MIG7, at any time on or before the maturity date of the Note at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The warrant expires on April 3, 2015, unless extended an additional six months if the MIG7 Note is extended.

The Senior Note Purchase Agreement contains a number of covenants restricting, among other things, dividends, liens, redemptions of securities, debt, mergers and acquisitions, asset sales, transactions with affiliates, capital expenditures, and prepayments and modifications of subordinated debt instruments. The Senior Note Purchase Agreement contains customary events of default as well as events of default for failing to achieve certain targets for consolidated revenues and consolidated EBITDA for the 2014 and 2015 calendar years. Among other remedies, upon an event of default, MIG7 would be entitled to sweep and retain 65% of all cash deposited in the operating account of the Company until all obligations owing to MIG7 are paid in full.

The obligations of the Credit Parties under the Note are collateralized by substantially all of their respective assets under a Security Agreement between the Credit Parties and MIG7 and the Company has agreed to pledge the stock of all other Credit Parties that are corporations under a Pledge Agreement.

In connection with the Senior Note Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, the Credit Parties, MIG7, and Vicis Capital Master Fund entered into an intercreditor agreement pursuant to which MIG7, and Vicis Capital Master Fund agreed among other matters to share priority under and allocation of amounts owing to each of them under the Senior Secured Debenture held by Vicis Capital Master Fund and under the MIG7 Note.

Mr. Stastney is a member in and chief operating officer of Vicis Capital, LLC, the investment advisor to Vicis Capital Master Fund. Vicis Capital Master Fund is the holder of the Senior Secured Debenture.

Each of Ms. Mather and Messrs. DeCecco, and Stastney is party to an employment agreement with IBI, each of which was assigned to Infusion in connection with the Infusion Merger.

AS SEEN ON TV, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)



Other Matters

On April 2, 2014, concurrent with the execution of the Infusion Merger Agreement, Mr. Kevin Harrington resigned his position as chairman and member of our board of directors. On June 5, 2014, Mr. Harrington entered into an agreement terminating his Services Agreement dated October 28, 2011, receiving approximately $53,000 in full and complete settlement of all amounts due under his Services Agreement.

Subsequent to the period covered by this report, on or about June 13, 2014, the Company became aware of a former director of the Company filing a complaint in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, styled Michael Cimino v. As Seen On TV, Inc., Steven A. Rogai and Ronald C. Pruett, Jr., Case No. 2:14-cv-03461-GAM, alleging that the Company breached certain settlement and equity compensation matters relating to the director’s resignation from the Company in 2011. The complaint also names the Company’s former chief executive officers as defendants. The plaintiff is seeking approximately $3.5 million in damages, pre and post judgment interest, attorneys’ fees, together with an unspecified amount of punitive damages. The Company, based on its preliminary review, believes that the claims are without merit. In addition, as the Company has not yet been served in this matter, it has not determined the potential liability associated with the claims, if any. In the event the plaintiff takes any further steps to prosecute the lawsuit, the Company intends to retain counsel and vigorously defend the action.
