Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements of Imagenetix, Inc. ("Imagenetix") presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2011.

In the opinion of management, the interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods. Operating results for the three month periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year.

Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. However, during the six months ended September 30, 2011 and the year ended March 31, 2011, the Company incurred net losses of $3,426,653 and $2,167,594, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $14,901,170 and a working capital deficit of $1,383,430 at September 30, 2011.   The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and as such raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Since inception, the Company has satisfied its capital needs through debt and equity financings and expects to fund the Company from these sources until profitability is achieved.  There can be no assurance that funds will be available at terms favorable to the Company or that future profitability can be achieved.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Management’s Plans

Management's plans to eliminate the going concern situation include, but are not limited to, the following:

Seek all options available to successfully set aside an unfavorable interim ruling in an ongoing arbitration matter with TriPharma LLC.

Increase revenue from the transition from mass market sales of its products to a licensing and royalty structure.

If necessary, the Company will continue cost cutting programs to reduce cash requirements.

Earnings Per Share

We follow the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") No. 260.  Under ASC No. 260, basic earnings per share is calculated as earnings available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as net income divided by the diluted weighted average number of common shares.
 
 
6

 
 
IMAGENETIX, INC.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The diluted weighted average number of common shares is calculated using the treasury stock method for common stock issuable pursuant to outstanding stock options and common stock warrants. See Note 7 for a discussion of commitments to issue additional shares of common stock and warrants.

Stock Based Compensation

We account for stock based compensation under ASC Nos. 718 and 505. ASC Nos. 718 and 505 require all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values.

We have selected the Black-Scholes method of valuation for share-based compensation. The charge is recognized in non-cash compensation, which is included in stock-based compensation expense, on a straight-line basis over the remaining service period based on the options’ original estimate of fair value.

We apply ASC Nos. 718 and 505 in valuing options granted to consultants and estimate the fair value of such options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value is recorded as consulting expense as services are provided. Options granted to consultants for which vesting is contingent based on future performance are measured at their then current fair value at each period end, until vested.

Research and Development

We have previously incurred expenses to develop our products and formulas, commission entities to perform clinical trials and evaluate potential products to expand our portfolio.  In addition, we have received a patent for a drug candidate which, if successful, will address periodontal diseases.  We have started the initial new drug process and have completed several animal studies.  We did not incurr any research and development expenses during the three and six months ended September 30, 2011, however we did incur research and development expenses, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations, of $0 and $19,491 for the corresponding periods of the previous fiscal year.

2. 
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820) — Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments in this ASU result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and international financial reporting standards (“IFRS”). Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. To improve consistency in application across jurisdictions some changes in wording are necessary to ensure that U.S. GAAP and IFRS fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are described in the same way. The ASU also provides for certain changes in current GAAP disclosure requirements, for example with respect to the measurement of level 3 assets and for measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in a reporting entity’s shareholders’ equity. The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively, and are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance is not anticipated to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

IMAGENETIX, INC.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220) — Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The amendments from this update will result in more converged guidance on how comprehensive income is presented under both U.S. GAAP and IFRS. With this update to ASC 220, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. The amendments in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income, nor does it affect how earnings per share is calculated or presented. Current U.S. GAAP allows reporting entities three alternatives for presenting other comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. One of those presentation options is to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. This update eliminates that option. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively, and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance is not anticipated to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

A variety of proposed or otherwise potential accounting standards are currently under study by standard-setting organizations and various regulatory agencies.  Because of the tentative and preliminary nature of these proposed standards, management has not determined whether implementation of such proposed standards would be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

SECURED NOTES PAYABLE

In June 2010, we entered into an asset based line of credit with a bank.  The terms of the agreement enabled us to borrow up to 65% of our accounts receivables and up to $300,000 of our inventory subject to certain limitations.  The maximum amount we could borrow was $1,500,000.  As of September 30, 2011, the line of credit was paid off.  The interest rate on the outstanding balance was the greater of the prime rate plus 1.75% or 5% (10% in the case of a default) plus a maintenance fee of 0.25% and an annual facility fee of 1% of the maximum borrowing amount.  On the payoff of the line of credit, the bank withdrew a secured position it had on the assets of the company.

In May 2011, we entered into a $700,000 secured note payable with the parent company of one of our customers.  The terms of the note include quarterly interest payments at a rate of 7.5% for 18 months at the end of which time the entire note is due.  In September 2011, two quarterly interest payments were deferred and added to the principal of the note.  The note is secured by the assets of the Company.  In addition, we agreed to provide a $7 per KG discount on all purchases made by the customer during the 18 month term with a guaranteed minimum discount of $70,000.  Since the $7 per KG discount is tied to the financing agreement, we are recognizing this amount as an increase to interest expense.

During fiscal year 2011, we entered into a licensing arrangement that is contingent on future performance and obligations.  As of September 30, 2011, $1,750,000 is reflected as deferred income and $400,000 is reflected as a receivable from the sale of licenses and intellectual property, the recognition of which will be dependent on future performance and obligations.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGINCIES

TriPharma Suit

On April 30, 2010, TriPharma, Inc., a customer of Imagenetix, filed a legal action in the United States Southern District Court of California, case number 10CV0933IEG, related to an Exclusive Marketing and Supply Agreement, as amended on June 19, 2008.   TriPharma asserted that Imagenetix breached the terms of the Agreement and sought injunctive relief and unspecified damages.  An unfavorable interim arbitration order was issued against the Company in September 2011 and a final order was issued in November 2011 in an amount of approximately $3,935,000.  The Company has filed a petition in the United States Southern District of California to have the arbitration order vacated.  While the exact amount of this loss is not known, a reasonable estimate, based on information currently available, is $500,000.  This amount has been recognized as a loss in the current period and appears as an accrued litigation liability.

Nikken Suit

On April 29, 2011, Imagenetix filed a legal action in the United States Central District of California, case number CV11-3727GHK (VBKx), against Nikken Inc., Et. Al.  Imagenetix claims that the defendants infringed on its U.S. Patent No. 5,596,676 entitled “Method for the Treatment of Osteoarthritis” and entered into unfair competition under the Lanham Act.  Imagenetix seeks damages of approximately $31,000,000 and injunctive relief.  The parties are currently filing motions related to this case and a reexamination of the patent has been ordered and will be undertaken by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Contingencies

We are involved in litigation from time to time in the normal course of business.

Management believes there are no such claims, which would have a material effect on our financial position.

Other agreements

We routinely enter into contracts and agreements with suppliers, manufacturers, consultants, product marketing, and sales representatives in the normal course of doing business. These agreements can be either short or long term and are normally limited to specific products and
marketing opportunities.

10.            INCOME TAXES

We have adopted ASC 740 which prescribes a comprehensive model of how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return.  ASC 740 states that a tax benefit from an uncertain position may be recognized if it is "more likely than not" that the position is sustainable, based upon its technical merits. The tax benefit of a qualifying position is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information.

Upon adoption of ASC 740, there was no impact to our consolidated financial statements.  We estimate that the unrecognized tax benefit will not change significantly within the next twelve months.  We will continue to classify income tax penalties and interest as part of general and administrative expense in our statements of operations.  Accrued interest on uncertain tax positions is not significant.  There are no penalties accrued as of September 30, 2011.  The following table summarizes the open tax years for each major jurisdiction:

Jurisdiction
Open Tax Years
 
Federal
2008 – 2010
 
California
2008 – 2010
 

As we have had significant net operating loss carry forwards, even if certain of our tax positions were disallowed, it is not foreseen that we would have to pay any taxes in the near future. Consequently, we do not calculate the impact of interest or penalties on amounts that might be disallowed.

During the period ended September 30, 2011, we reviewed our deferred tax assets and determined that, as a result of the continuing losses, we could no longer expect a greater than 50 percent likelihood of the tax benefits being realized.  Accordingly, during the three and six months ended September 30, 2011, we established a full valuation allowance against our  current and long-term deferred tax assets.

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

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION INCLUDES FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO OUR FUTURE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE. ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE CURRENTLY ANTICIPATED AND FROM HISTORICAL RESULTS DEPENDING UPON A VARIETY OF FACTORS, INCLUDING THOSE DESCRIBED BELOW UNDER THE SUB-HEADING, "RISK FACTORS." SEE ALSO OUR ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2011.
 
Overview
 
We develop, formulate and market over-the-counter, natural-based nutritional supplements and skin care products. Our products are proprietary, often supported by scientific studies which we request and are offered through multiple channels of distribution, including direct marketing companies, also known as network marketing or multi-level marketing companies, and chain store retailers. Our primary product is Celadrin® a product formulation which we sell to the mass market through retailers and on a private label basis to wholesale customers.  We also license our intellectual property to third parties.

A key part of our marketing strategy is to provide to our wholesale customers a "turnkey" approach to the marketing and distribution of our products. This turnkey approach provides these customers with all the services necessary to market our products, including developing specific product formulations, providing supporting scientific studies regarding the effectiveness of the product and arranging for the manufacture and marketing of the product.

Historically, we have sold our own branded product, Celadrin®, directly to the mass markets through retail sellers.  We currently plan to expand our activities in developing, licensing and selling products and formulations to businesses and organizations that in-turn market our products through multiple channels of distribution, including direct marketing companies, mass marketing companies, medical, health and nutritional professionals, medical newsletters and direct response radio and television. We also offer Celadrin® products through wholesale customers that in turn offer their products containing Celadrin® to mass market retailers.

Management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon the Company's financial statements. These statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have identified ten accounting principles that we believe are key to an understanding of our financial statements. These important accounting policies require management's most difficult, subjective judgments.

1.  Going Concern.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. However, during the six months ended September 30, 2011 and the year ended March 31, 2011, the Company incurred net losses of $3,426,653 and $2,167,594, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $14,901,170 at September 30, 2011.   In addition, as of September 30, 2011, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,383,430.  The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and as such raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Since inception, the Company has satisfied its capital needs through debt and equity financings and expects to fund the Company from these sources until profitability is achieved.  There can be no assurance that funds will be available at terms favorable to the Company or that future profitability can be achieved.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
 
13

 
 
2.  Cash and Cash Equivalents.
For purposes of the financial statements, we consider all highly liquid debt investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

3.  Accounts receivable.
Accounts receivable are carried at the expected net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. If there were a deterioration of a major customer’s creditworthiness, or actual defaults were higher than historical experience, our estimates of the recoverability of amounts due to us could be overstated, which could have a negative impact on operations.

4.    Inventory
Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in first-out method.  Indirect overhead costs are allocated to inventory.

5.    Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized, upon being placed in service.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful life of three to seven years, except leasehold improvements which are depreciated over the lesser of the remaining lease life or the life of the asset, using the straight-line method. We follow the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") No. 360.  Under ASC No. 360, long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by us are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We continuously evaluate the recoverability of our long-lived assets based on estimated future cash flows and the estimated fair value of such long-lived assets, and provide for impairment if such undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to recover the carrying amount of the long-lived asset.

6.   Trademarks and Patents
Patents and trademarks are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and are amortized over their estimated useful lives of from 8 to 17 years for patents and 17 years for trademarks.   The carrying value of patents and trademarks is periodically reviewed and impairments, if any, are recognized when the expected future benefit to be derived from individual intangible assets is less than its carrying value determined based on the provisions of ASC No. 360 as discussed above.

7. Stock Based Compensation
We adopted ASC Nos.718 and 505, which require that share-based payments be reflected as an expense based upon the grant-date fair value of those awards. The expense is recognized over the remaining vesting periods of the awards. The Company estimates the fair value of these awards, including stock options and warrants, using the Black-Scholes model. This model requires management to make certain estimates in the assumptions used in this model, including the expected term the award will be held, volatility of the underlying common stock, discount rate and forfeiture rate. We develop our assumptions based on our past historical trends as well as consider changes for future expectations.

8.   Revenue Recognition
 
We recognize revenue in accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (SAB104) and ASC No. 605.  SAB 104 requires that four basic criteria be met before revenue can be recognized: 1) there is evidence that an arrangement exists; 2) delivery has occurred; 3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and 4) collectability is reasonably assured. ASC No. 605 states that revenue from sales transactions where the buyer has the right to return the product shall be recognized at the time of sale only if (1) the seller’s price to the buyer is substantially fixed or determinable at the date of sale; (2) the buyer has paid the seller, or the buyer is obligated to pay the seller and the obligation is not contingent on resale of the product; (3) the buyer’s obligation to the seller would not be changed in the event of theft or physical destruction or damage of the product; (4) the buyer acquiring the product for resale has economic substance apart from that provided by the seller; (5) the seller does not have significant obligations for future performance to directly bring about resale of the product by the buyer; and (6) the amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated. We recognize revenue upon determination that all criteria for revenue recognition have been met. The criteria are usually met at the time title passes to the customer, which usually occurs upon shipment. Revenue from shipments where title passes upon delivery is deferred until the shipment has been delivered.
 
We account for payments made to customers in accordance with ASC No. 605, which states that cash consideration (including a sales incentive) given by a vendor to a customer is presumed to be a reduction of the selling prices of the vendor’s products or services and, therefore, should be characterized as a reduction of revenue when recognized in the vendor’s income statement, rather than a sales and marketing expense. We have various agreements with customers that provide for discounts and rebates. These agreements are classified as a reduction of revenue. Certain other costs associated with customers that meet the requirements of ASC No. 605 are recorded as sales and marketing expense. Vendor considerations recorded as a reduction of sales were $979,000 and $1,185,000 for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
 
We guarantee customer satisfaction. Our policy requires the customer to return the unused product to the retailer from whom they originally purchased it.  We pay the retailer for the returned product plus a handling cost. We review gross revenue for estimated returns of private label contract manufacturing products and direct-to-consumer products. The estimated returns are based upon the trailing six months of private label contract manufacturing gross sales and our historical experience for both private label contract manufacturing and direct-to-consumer product returns. However, the estimate for product returns does not reflect the impact of a large product recall resulting from product nonconformance or other factors as such events are not predictable nor is the related economic impact estimable.   We periodically assess the adequacy of this policy and record a liability as necessary.   For the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we recorded reserves of $118,000 and $86,000 for potential returns, allowances and product buy backs.
 
As part of the services we provide to our private label contract manufacturing customers, we may perform, but are not required to perform, certain research and development activities related to the development or improvement of their products. While our customers typically do not pay directly for this service, the cost of this service is included as a component of the price we charge to manufacture and deliver their products.

Royalties- we recognize revenue from royalties based on reports provided by our customers (typically 30 days after the end of the quarter on which the royalty payment is based.)

Licensing- we also derive license revenue from fees for the transfer of proven and reusable intellectual property components.  Generally, these payments will include a nonrefundable technology license fee, which will be payable upon the transfer of intellectual property.  License fees will be recognized upon the execution of the license agreement and transfer of intellectual property provided no further significant performance obligations exist and collectability is deemed probable.  If additional performance obligations are present, we defer revenue recognition until such time as the performance obligation is satisfied.

9.   Income Taxes
 
We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC No. 740.  This statement requires an asset and liability approach for accounting for income taxes and prescribes a comprehensive model of how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return.  ASC No. 740 states that a tax benefit from an uncertain position may be recognized if it is "more likely than not" that the position is sustainable, based upon its technical merits. The tax benefit of a qualifying position is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information.

10.   Research and Development
We have previously incurred expenses to develop our products and formulas, commission entities to perform clinical trials and evaluate potential products to expand our portfolio.  In addition, we have received a patent for a drug candidate which, if successful, will address periodontal diseases.  We have started the initial new drug process and have completed several animal studies.  We did not incur any research and development expenses during the three and six months ended September 30, 2011, however we did incur research and development expenses, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations, of $0 and $19,491 for the corresponding periods of the previous fiscal year.

We anticipate mass market sales to be substantially eliminated over the upcoming quarters as part of the transition to distribution and licensing sales.
 
Cost of Goods Sold
 
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased to 22.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to 44.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  This decrease was the result of the product mix, initiation of licenses and royalties revenue, reduced gross revenue and larger advertising allowances on our mass market sales during the previous fiscal year period.  We anticipate this percentage to decrease as we transition to distribution and licensing sales.
 
General and Administrative
 
General and administrative expenses decreased $759,810, a 86.7% decrease, to $116,219 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to $876,029 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.   This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in advertising expenses of approximately $622,000 and a decrease in travel related costs of approximately $36,000.  We anticipate future decreases in general and administrative expenses as we transition to distributor and licensing sales.
 
Payroll Expense
 
Payroll expense decreased to $148,162 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of 53.7% or $171,520 compared to $319,682 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.   This decrease was a result of a reduction in work force as we transition to distributor and licensing sales coupled with a reduction in non-cash compensation expense related to employee stock options for the current fiscal period compared to the previous year fiscal period.
 
Consulting Expenses
 
Consulting expenses decreased to $242,291 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of 29.3% or $100,228 compared to $342,519 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  This decrease was a result of a reduction of expenses related to the mass market segment of approximately $180,000 partially offset by an increase in legal expenses of approximately $80,000 related to two active proceedings.
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense of $56,519 was recognized during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to $25,358 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  This increase was the result of non-cash interest of approximately $42,000 related to a secured loan with the parent company of one of our customers.

Litigation Expenses
 
During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, we received an unfavorable interim order in an arbitration case with TriPharma LLC.  The final arbitration order  in the amount of approximately $3,935,000 was issued in November 2011. We have filed a petition in the United States Souther District of California to have the arbitration order vacated.  While the exact amount of this loss is not known, a reasonable estimate, based on information currently available, is $500,000.  This amount has been recognized as a loss in the current period and appears as an accrued litigation liability.
 
Provision for Income Taxes
 
During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, we set up a valuation against our deferred tax assets of approximately $3,710,000 which resulted in a tax provision during the quarter of $2,634,000 compared to a $154,900 tax provision recognized during the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Net Sales
 
Net sales for the six months ended September 30, 2011 decreased $2,883,290, a 67.0% decrease, to $1,421,696 compared to $4,304,986 for the six months ended September 30, 2010.  The primary reason for the sales decrease is a transition from mass market and wholesale sales to distribution and licensing sales.  Mass market sales reflect mark down allowances on existing store inventories.

We anticipate mass market sales to be substantially eliminated over the upcoming quarters as part of the transition to distribution and licensing sales.
 
Cost of Goods Sold
 
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased to 37.1% for the six months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 50.7% for the six months ended September 30, 2010.  This decrease was the result of the product mix, initiation of licenses and royalties revenue, reduced gross revenue and larger advertising allowances on our mass market sales during the previous fiscal year period.  We anticipate this percentage to decrease as we transition to distribution and licensing sales.
 
General and Administrative
 
General and administrative expenses decreased $1,049,494, a 71.3% decrease, to $422,314 for the six months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $1,471,808 for the six months ended September 30, 2010.   This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in advertising expenses of approximately $798,000, a decrease in travel related costs of approximately $58,000 and a reduction in research and development expenses of approximately $20,000.  We anticipate future decreases in general and administrative expenses as we transition to distributor and licensing sales.
 
Payroll Expense
 
Payroll expense decreased to $295,342 for the six months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of 47.5% or $266,870 compared to $562,212 for the six months ended September 30, 2010.   This decrease was a result of a reduction in work force as we transition to distributor and licensing sales coupled with a reduction in non-cash compensation expense related to employee stock options for the current fiscal period compared to the previous year fiscal period.
 
Consulting Expenses
 
Consulting expenses decreased to $628,131 for the six months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of 16.5% or $124,422 compared to $752,553 for the six months ended September 30, 2010.  This decrease was a result of a reduction of expenses related to the mass market segment of approximately $352,000 partially offset by an increase in legal expenses of approximately $242,000 related to two active proceedings.
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest expense of $143,717 was recognized during the six months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $114,442 for the six months ended September 30, 2010.  This increase was the result of non-cash interest of approximately $42,000 related to a secured loan with the parent company of one of our customers.

Litigation Losses
 
During the six months ended September 30, 2011, we received an unfavorable interim order in an arbitration case with TriPharma LLC. The final arbitration order in an amount of approximately $3,935,000 was issued in November 2011.  We have filed a petition in the United States Sourthern District of California to have the arbitration order vacated. While the exact amount of this loss is not known, a reasonable estimate, based on information currently available, is $500,000.  This amount has been recognized as a loss in the current period and appears as an accrued litigation liability.
 
Provision for Income Taxes
 
During the six months ended September 30, 2011, we set up a valuation against our deferred tax assets of approximately $3,710,000 which resulted in a tax provision during the six month period of $2,330,800 compared to a tax provision of $242,800 recognized during the same period of the previous fiscal year.

Liquidity
 
We have historically financed our operations internally and through debt and equity financings. At September 30, 2011, we had cash holdings of $345,417, a decrease of $53,580 compared to March 31, 2011. Our net working capital deficit at September 30, 2011, was $1,383,430 compared to a deficit of $266,692 as of March 31, 2011.  The continuing decrease is primarily the result of operating losses incurred during the six months ended September 30, 2011 which included recording an unfavorable interim ruling in an ongoing arbitration case and recording a write down of deferred tax assets.  During the first six months of fiscal  2012, we received $850,000 in cash from the deferred sale of our intellectual property and $700,000 from an investor.  The proceeds were used to pay off and close the asset based line of credit as we reposition ourselves away from the mass market in favor of intellectual property licensing and royalty sales to compliment distributor revenue.  Although our cash requirements for marketing and advertising will be eliminated with this new business model, we have no history concerning licensing and royalty revenue.

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. However, during the six months ended September 30, 2011 and the year ended March 31, 2011, the Company incurred net losses of $3,426,653 and $2,167,594, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $14,901,170 at September 30, 2011.   In addition, as of September 30, 2011, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,383,430.  The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and as such raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Since inception, the Company has satisfied its capital needs through debt and equity financings and expects to fund the Company from these sources until profitability is achieved.  There can be no assurance that funds will be available at terms favorable to the Company or that future profitability can be achieved.

New Accounting Standards

See Note 2- Recent Accounting Pronouncements- to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.
 
ITEM 4T.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
Our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2011. Based on their evaluation, they concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act was made known to them by others and was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. There was no change in our internal controls that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
TriPharma Suit

On April 30, 2010, TriPharma, Inc., a customer of Imagenetix, filed a legal action in the United States Southern District Court of California, case number 10CV0933IEG, related to an Exclusive Marketing and Supply Agreement, as amended on June 19, 2008.   TriPharma asserted that Imagenetix breached the terms of the Agreement and sought injunctive relief and unspecified damages.  An unfavorable interim order was issued against the Company in September 2011. The final arbitration order in an amount of approximately $3,935,000 was issued in November 2011.  The Company has filed a petition in the United States Southern District of California to have the arbitration order vacated. While the exact amount of this loss is not known, a reasonable estimate, based on information currently available, is $500,000.  This amount has been recognized as a loss in the current period and appears as an accrued litigation liability.

Nikken Suit

On April 29, 2011, Imagenetix filed a legal action in the United States Central District of California, case number CV11-3727GHK (VBKx), against Nikken Inc., Et. Al.  Imagenetix claims that the defendants infringed on its U.S. Patent No. 5,596,676 entitled “Method for the Treatment of Osteoarthritis” and entered into unfair competition under the Lanham Act.  Imagenetix seeks damages of approximately $31,000,000 and injunctive relief.  The parties are currently filing motions related to this case and a reexamination of the patent has been ordered and will be undertaken by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
 
ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS.

 
Risk Factors
 
You should consider the following discussion of risks as well as other information regarding our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business could be harmed.

We have had significant losses,  accumulated deficit earnings and negative working capital which may affect our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and as such raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Since inception, we have satisfied our capital needs through debt and equity financings and expect to fund the company from these sources until profitability is achieved.  There can be no assurance that funds will be available at terms favorable to us or that future profitability can be achieved.

There Is Only One Supplier for Celadrin®. If We Are Unable to Purchase Celadrin® from This Supplier, Our Business Would Be Harmed.

There is only one supplier for Celadrin®, which we use in approximately 69% of our products and which represented approximately 69% of our sales for the year ended March 31, 2011. We will rely upon Celadrin® to expand our product lines and revenue in the future. If our Celadrin® supplier goes out of business or elects for any reason not to supply us with Celadrin®, we would have to find another Celadrin® supplier or suffer a significant reduction in our revenue.
 
 
We Rely upon a Limited Number of Customers the Loss of Which Would Reduce Our Revenue and Any Earnings.

Our largest customer accounted for 48% of our net sales for the six months ended September 30, 2011 and our two largest customers accounted for 54% and 14% of our net sales for the year ended March 31, 2011.    If not replaced by other large customers, the loss of any significantly large customer could reduce our revenue and adversely affect our cash flow and earnings, if any.

We Have Recently Changed to a Licensing Model to Generate Revenue Which Could Impact Our Revenue and Profitability.

Our business model has changed from exclusively selling products directly to wholesalers, retailers, and customers to additionally licensing the sale of our products to third parties. This business model requires the third parties to commit to such an agreement and to successfully sell products with our technologies.  We have not achieved similar significant revenue producing license deals in the past.  If we are not successful at implementing a licensing model, our revenues, cash flow and earnings, if any, could be adversely affected.
 
 
22

 

We Rely upon Other Outside Suppliers to Produce Our Products Which Could Delay Our Product Deliveries.

All of our products are produced by outside manufacturers who process ingredients provided to them by our suppliers and with whom we have contracts. Our profit margins and our ability to deliver products on a timely basis are dependent upon these manufacturers and suppliers. Should any of these manufacturers or suppliers fail to provide us with product, we would be required to obtain new manufacturers and suppliers, which would be costly and time consuming and could delay our product deliveries.

Product Liability Claims Against Us Could Be Costly.

Some of our nutritional supplements contain newly-introduced ingredients or combinations of ingredients, and we have little long-term health information about individuals consuming those ingredients. If any of these products were thought or proved to be harmful, we could be subject to litigation. Although we carry product liability insurance in the face amount of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate and require our suppliers and manufacturers to include us as insured parties on their product liability insurance policies, our coverage may not be adequate to protect us from potential product liability claims and costs of defense.

We Are Subject to Intense Competition from Other Nutritional Supplement Marketers Which Could Reduce Our Revenue and Profit Margins.

Competition in the nutritional supplement market is intense. We compete with numerous companies that have longer operating histories, more products and greater name recognition and financial resources than we do. In order to compete, we could be forced to lower our product prices, which would reduce our revenue and profit margins.

We Are Highly Regulated, Which Increases Our Costs of Doing Business.

We are subject to laws and regulations which cover:

•   the formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, distribution, importation, sale and storage of our products;

•   the health and safety of food and drugs;

•   trade practice and direct selling laws; and

•   product claims and advertising by us; or for which we may be held responsible.

Compliance with these laws and regulations is time consuming and expensive. Moreover, new regulations could be adopted that would severely restrict the products we sell or our ability to continue our business. We are unable to predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can we predict what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative orders, when and if promulgated, would have on our business in the future. These future changes could, however, require the reformulation or elimination of certain products; imposition of additional record keeping and documentation requirements; imposition of new federal reporting and application requirements; modified methods of importing, manufacturing, storing or distributing certain products; and expanded or different labeling and substantiation requirements for certain products and ingredients. Any or all of these requirements could harm our business.

There Are Limitations on the Liability of Our Officers and Directors Which May Restrict Our Stockholders from Bringing Claims.

Our Bylaws substantially limit the liability of our officers and directors to us and our stockholders for negligence and breach of fiduciary or other duties to us. This limitation may prevent stockholders from bringing claims against our officers and directors in the future.

Shares of Our Common Stock Which Are Eligible for Sale by Our Stockholders May Decrease the Price of Our Common Stock.

We have 11,811,288 common shares outstanding which are freely tradable or saleable under Rule 144.  We also have outstanding common stock warrants and stock options exercisable into up to 3,191,341 shares of common stock which could become free trading if exercised.   If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock, the market price of our common stock could decrease.

There is a Limited but Potentially Volatile Trading Market in Our Common Stock, Which May Adversely Affect Our Stock Price.

Our common stock trades on the Electronic Bulletin Board. The Bulletin Board tends to be highly illiquid, in part because there is no national quotation system by which potential investors can track the market price of shares except through information received or generated by a limited number of broker-dealers that make a market in particular stocks. There is a greater chance of market volatility for securities that trade on the Bulletin Board as opposed to a national exchange or quotation system. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including:

•   The lack of readily available price quotations;

•   The absence of consistent administrative supervision of "bid" and "ask" quotations;

•   Lower trading volume; and

•   Market conditions.

There could be wide fluctuations in the market price of our common stock. These fluctuations may have an extremely negative effect on the market price of our securities and may prevent an investor from obtaining a market price equal to his purchase price when he attempts to sell our securities in the open market. In these situations, the investor may be required to either sell our securities at a market price which is lower than his purchase price, or to hold our securities for a longer period of time than he planned.
 
Because Our Common Stock May Be Classified as "Penny Stock," Trading in it Could Be Limited, and Our Stock Price Could Decline.

In the future, our common stock may fall under the definition of "penny stock" if our net tangible assets decline below $2,500,000. In such event, trading in our common stock would be limited because broker-dealers will be required to provide their customers with disclosure documents prior to allowing them to participate in transactions involving our common stock. These disclosure requirements are burdensome to broker-dealers and may discourage them from allowing their customers to participate in transactions involving our common stock.

"Penny stocks" are equity securities with a market price below $5.00 per share, other than a security that is registered on a national exchange or included for quotation on the Nasdaq system, unless, as in our case, the issuer has net tangible assets of more than $2,000,000 and has been in continuous operation for greater than three years. Issuers who have been in operation for less than three years must have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,000.
 
 
24

 

Rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act require broker-dealers engaging in transactions in penny stocks, to first provide to their customers a series of disclosures and documents, including:

•    A standardized risk disclosure document identifying the risks inherent in investment in penny stocks;

•    All compensation received by the broker-dealer in connection with the transaction;

•    Current quotation prices and other relevant market data; and

•    Monthly account statements reflecting the fair market value of the securities. In addition, these rules require that a broker-dealer obtain financial and other information from a customer, determine that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for such customer and deliver a written statement to such customer setting forth the basis for this determination.
