MusclePharm Corporation and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(June 30, 2013)

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1: Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

 

Nature of Operations

 

MusclePharm Corporation (the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “MusclePharm”), was incorporated in the state of Nevada on August 4, 2006 under the name Tone in Twenty for the purpose of engaging in the business of providing personal fitness training using isometric techniques. The Company is headquartered in Denver, Colorado.

 

MusclePharm currently manufactures and markets a wide-ranging variety of high-quality sports nutrition products.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as amended for interim financial information.

 

The financial information as of December 31, 2012 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and filed with the SEC on April 1, 2013. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.

  

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MusclePharm Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary MusclePharm Canada Enterprises Corp (“MusclePharm Canada”). MusclePharm Canada began operations in April of 2012. All intercompany accounts and transactions between MusclePharm Corporation and MusclePharm Canada have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

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

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

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

MusclePharm Corporation and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(June 30, 2013)

(Unaudited)

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable represents trade obligations from customers that are subject to normal trade collection terms. Prior to July 1, the accounts receivable were sent directly to the Company’s third party manufacturer and netted with any outstanding liabilities to the manufacturer (see Note 11). Liabilities to the manufacturer totaled $4,213,394 at June 30, 2013 and are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and considers the need to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical collection experience and specific customer information. Accordingly, the actual amounts could vary from the recorded allowances. There is also a review of customer discounts at the period end and an accrual made for discounts earned but not yet received by quarter end.

 

Management reserves for bad debt expense based on the aging of accounts receivable. Bad debt expense is classified under general & administrative expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

The Company does not charge interest on past due receivables. Receivables are determined to be past due based on the payment terms of the original invoices. Accounts receivable consisted of the following at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

 

   As of 
June 30, 2013
   As of 
December 31, 2012
 
Accounts receivable  $10,492,646   $4,416,193 
Less: allowance for discounts   (1,004,000)   (1,088,720)
Less: allowance for doubtful accounts   (253,552)   (25,129)
Accounts receivable – net  $9,235,094   $3,302,344 

 

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had the following concentrations of accounts receivable with significant customers:

 

Customer  As of June 30, 2013   As of December 31, 2012 
A   14%   19%
B   8%   6%
C   7%   0%

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market value. Product-related inventories are primarily maintained using the average cost method.

 

Prepaid Giveaways

 

Prepaid giveaways represent non-inventory sample items, which are given away to aid in promotion of the brand.

 

Prepaid Sponsorship Fees

 

Prepaid sponsorship fees represents fees paid in connection with future advertising to be received.

 

Property and Equipment

 

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

Website Development Costs

 

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

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as service discontinuance or technological obsolescence, indicate that the carrying amount of the long-lived asset may not be recoverable. When such events occur, the Company compares the carrying amount of the asset to the undiscounted expected future cash flows related to the asset. If the comparison indicates that impairment is present, the amount of the impairment is calculated as the difference between the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset. If a readily determinable market price does not exist, fair value is estimated using discounted expected cash flows attributable to the asset. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded no impairment expense.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

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

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

 

·Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
·Level 2: Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
·Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

 

The following are the major categories of liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, using quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

 

   As of June 30, 2013   As of December 31, 2012 
           
Derivative liabilities (Level 2)  $2,369,032   $- 

 

The Company’s financial instruments consisted primarily of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and debt. The Company’s debt approximates fair value based upon current borrowing rates available to the Company for debt with similar maturities. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments generally approximated their fair values as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

Depending on individual customer agreements, sales are recognized either upon shipment of products to customers or upon delivery. For all of our Canadian sales, which represent 3% of total sales, recognition occurs upon shipment.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(June 30, 2013)

(Unaudited)

 

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

 

The Company records sales allowances and discounts as a direct reduction of sales.

 

Sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

 

   Three Months Ended June 30,   Six Months Ended June 30, 
   2013   2012   2013   2012 
Sales  $28,515,483   $18,869,103   $53,439,519   $38,171,872 
                     
Discounts   (3,035,424)   (3,439,763)   (5,398,293)   (6,181,852)
                     
Sales - Net  $25,480,059   $15,429,340   $48,041,226   $31,990,020 

 

The Company has an informal seven day right of return for products. There were nominal returns for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company had the following concentrations of revenues with significant customers:

 

   Six Months Ended June 30, 
Customer  2013   2012 
A   31%   40%
B   12%   11%
C   6%   17%

 

Licensing Income and Royalty Revenue

 

On May 5, 2011, the Company granted an exclusive indefinite license to market, manufacture, design and sell the Company’s existing apparel line. The licensee paid an initial fee of $250,000 in June 2011, and will pay the Company a 10% net royalty based on its net income at the end of each fiscal year. To date, no royalty revenue has been earned by the Company.

 

Cost of Sales

 

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

 

Shipping and Handling

 

Until March 1, 2013 MusclePharm used a manufacturer from Tennessee to ship directly to our customers, and after that date MusclePharm took control of the shipping and began shipping product to our customers from a previously leased 152,000 square foot distribution center in Franklin, Tennessee in close proximity of our manufacturer. Our products are transported from our manufacturer to the MusclePharm distribution center, but title does not pass from the manufacturer until loaded on the truck for shipment. Through June 30, 2013, MusclePharm does not take title to our products (see Note 11). The facility in Franklin, Tennessee is operated with the Company’s equipment and employees. This transition away from having our Tennessee manufacturer ship product for us is an effort to reduce our costs and improve gross margins.

 

The Company also uses a manufacturer in New York for the manufacture of one of the Company’s products. These orders are typically large and heavy and are drop shipped directly to our customers at the time of order.

 

Costs associated to the shipments are recorded in cost of sales. For Canadian sales, the product is shipped from our Canadian warehouse to our customers. Costs associated with the shipments are recorded as shipping.

Advertising

 

The Company expenses advertising costs when incurred.

 

Advertising expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

 

   Three Months Ended June 30,   Six Months Ended June 30, 
   2013   2012   2013   2012 
                     
Advertising  $3,275,200   $2,044,005   $5,592,577   $3,976,840 

 

Beneficial Conversion Feature

 

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

 

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

 

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities

 

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities consists of the Company’s trade payables as well as amounts estimated by management for future liability payments that relate to the current accounting period. Management reviews these estimates periodically to determine their reasonableness and fair presentation.

 

Debt

 

The Company defines short term debt as any debt payment due less than one year from the date of the financial statements. Long term debt is defined as any debt payment due more than one year from the date of the financial statements. Refer to Note 4 for further disclosure of debt liabilities.

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in equity instruments and warrants granted, and measurement of their fair value. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible equity instruments, management determines if the convertible equity instrument is conventional convertible equity and further if the beneficial conversion feature requires separate measurement.

 

Once derivative liabilities are determined, they are adjusted to reflect fair value at the end of each reporting period. Any increase or decrease in the fair value is recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Once a derivative liability ceases to exist any remaining fair value is reclassified to additional paid in capital.

 

Deferred Equity Costs

 

The Company may pay costs related to the underwriting and offering of equity securities. These costs are treated as a reduction to equity capital raised and recorded in equity when the share issuances are recorded. Until the shares are recorded or until offering is aborted, these costs will be held on the balance sheet as a deferred asset.

 

Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount

 

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

Original Issue Discount

 

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

 

Share-Based Payments

 

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

 

Earnings (loss) Per Share

 

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

 

The Company uses an “if converted” method to determine whether there is a dilutive effect of outstanding option and warrant contracts. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, all of the Company’s convertible debt options and 625,028 warrants had exercise prices below of the Company’s period end market price of the common stock into which they convert. The adjusted dilutive net loss reflects the add back of approximately $349 of interest expense related to the convertible debt and the reduction of $9,449,050 of gains on derivative contracts for the three months ended June 30, 2012. For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the three months ended June 30, 2012 the Company reflected net loss and a dilutive net loss, respectively, and the effect of considering any common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive for these periods. Therefore, separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented.

  

The Company has the following common stock equivalents for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively:

 

   Six Months Ended June 30, 
   2013   2012 
Stock options (exercise price - $425/share)   670    1,903 
Warrants (exercise price $4 – $1,275/share)   330,089    84,820 
Convertible debt (exercise price $17/share)   -    2,471 
Total common stock equivalents   330,759    89,194 

 

In the above table, some of the outstanding instruments from 2013 and 2012 contain ratchet provisions that would cause variability in the exercise price at the balance sheet date. As a result, common stock equivalents could change at each reporting period.

 

Foreign Currency

 

MusclePharm began operations in Canada in April of 2012. The Canadian Dollar was determined to be the functional currency as the majority of the transactions related to the day to day operations of the business are exchanged in Canadian Dollars. At the end of the period, the financial results of the Canadian operation are translated into United States Dollars, which is our reporting currency, and added to the U.S. operations for consolidated company financial results. The revenue and expense items are translated using the average rate for the period and the assets and liabilities at the end of period rate. Transactions that have completed the accounting cycle and resulted in a gain or loss related to translation are recorded in realized gain or loss due to foreign currency translation under other income expense on the income statement. Transactions that have not completed their accounting cycle but appear to have gain or loss due to the translation process are recorded as unrealized gain or loss due to translation and held in the equity section on the balance sheet until such date the accounting cycle of the transaction is complete and the actual realized gain or loss is recognized.

Convertible Debt – Secured - Derivative Liabilities

 

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company issued convertible debt totaling $519,950. The convertible debt includes the following terms:

 

      Year Ended 
      December 31, 2012 
      Amount of 
      Principal Raised 
Interest Rate      8% - 10% 
Default interest rate      0% - 20% 
Maturity      January 3, 2012 to October 11, 2014 
         
Conversion terms 1  62% of lowest trade price for the last 7 trading days       100,000 
Conversion terms 2  65% of the lowest trade price in the 30 trading days previous to the conversion       19,950 
Conversion terms 3  35% multiplied by the average of the lowest three (3) trading prices (as defined below) for the common stock during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date.       400,000 
      $519,950 

 

The debt holders are entitled, at their option, to convert all or part of the principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion prices and terms discussed above. The Company classifies embedded conversion features in these notes as a derivative liability due to management’s assessment that the Company may not have sufficient authorized number of shares of common stock required to net-share settle or due to the existence of a ratchet due to an anti-dilution provision. See Note 5 regarding accounting for derivative liabilities.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company amortized $335,433 and $184,031, respectively in debt issue costs.

 

Note 5: Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company identified conversion features embedded within consulting agreements and Series D Preferred Stock issued in 2013. The Company has determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option should be accounted for at fair value as a derivative liability as the Company could not determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all transactions.

 

The fair value of the conversion feature is summarized as follows:

 

Derivative liability - December 31, 2012  $- 
Fair value at the commitment date for equity instruments   8,175,459 
Fair value at the commitment date for warrants issued   96,913 
Fair value mark to market adjustment for equity instruments   5,716,688 
Fair value mark to market adjustment for warrants   55,275 
Conversion instruments exercised   (11,675,303)
Derivative liability – June 30, 2013  $2,369,032 

 

The Company recorded the day 1 value of derivative contracts associated with the Series D preferred stock issuance against gross proceeds raised, and expensed immediately the remaining value of the derivative as it exceeded the gross proceeds of the offering. The Company recorded a derivative expense of $96,913 and $2,486,451 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

The fair value at the commitment and re-measurement dates for the Company’s derivative liabilities were based upon the following management assumptions:

 

   Commitment Date   Re-measurement Date 
Expected dividends   0%   0%
Expected volatility   118% - 123%    107%
Expected term:   1 year    17 months – 1 year 
Risk free interest rate   0.14% - 0.15%    0.15%

 

Note 6: Restricted Stock Units

 

In November 2012, the Company granted the Executive Vice President and Co-Chairman, Mr. John H. Bluher, 70,589 restricted stock units through a restricted stock unit agreement. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock upon vesting. The value of this award at the grant date was $245,400 and will be amortized over the vesting periods such that each tranche of restricted stock units will be fully amortized at the date of vesting.  The restricted stock units vest in one tranche of 23,529 on January 1, 2013 and two tranches of 23,530 shares on January 1, 2014 and December 1, 2014.  As of June 30, 2013, 23,529 restricted stock units have vested and the unamortized portion of this award is $123,036.

 

In November 2012, the Company granted the Chief Financial Officer, Mr. L. Gary Davis, 58,824 restricted stock units through a restricted stock unit agreement. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock upon vesting. The value of this award at the grant date was $204,500 and will be amortized over the vesting periods such that each tranche of restricted stock units will be fully amortized at the date of vesting.  The restricted stock units vest in three tranches of 19,608 shares each on January 1, 2013 and 2014, and December 1, 2014.  As of June 30, 2013, 19,608 restricted stock units have vested and the unamortized portion of this award is $102,530.

Note 7: Stockholders’ Equity

 

The Company has four separate series of authorized preferred stock:

 

On November 26, 2012, the Company (i) effected a 1-for-850 reverse stock split of our common stock, including a proportionate reduction in the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 2.36 billion shares to 2.8 million shares of common stock, and (ii) amended our articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock (post reverse stock split) from 2,941,177 to 100 million effective November 27, 2012.  All share and per share amounts in this document have been changed to give effect to the reverse stock split.

 

(A) Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

 

This class of stock has the following provisions:

 

·Non-voting,
·No rights to dividends,
·No liquidation value, and
·Convertible into 200 shares of common stock.

 

(B) Series B Preferred Stock (Related Parties)

 

In August 2011, the Company issued an aggregate of 51 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to two of its officers. The Company accounted for the share issuance at par value as there was no future economic value that could be associated with the issuance.

 

This class of stock has the following provisions:

 

·Voting rights entitling the holders to an aggregate 51% voting control,
·No rights to dividends,
·Stated value of $0.001 per share,
·Liquidation rights entitle the receipt of net assets on a pro-rata basis with the holders of our common stock; and
·Non-convertible.

 

(C) Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

 

In October 2011, the Company issued 190 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, having a fair value of $190,000. Of the total shares issued, 100 shares were issued for $100,000 ($1,000 /share). The remaining 90 shares were issued for services rendered having a fair value of $90,000 ($1,000 /share), based upon the stated value per share. In March 2012, all 190 shares were converted into 22,353 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.0085 per share and a loss of $614,984.

 

This class of stock has the following provisions:

 

·Stated Value - $1,000 per share,
·Non-voting,
·Liquidation rights entitle an amount equal to the stated value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends,
·As long as any Series C, Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company is prohibited from executing various corporate actions without the majority consent of the holders of Series C, Convertible Preferred Stockholders authorization; and
·Convertible at the higher of (a) $0.01 or (b) such price that is a 50% discount to market using the average of the low two closing bid prices, five days preceding conversion.

 

Due to the existence of an option to convert at a variable amount, the Company treated this series of preferred stock as a derivative liability due to the potential for settlement in a variable quantity of shares. Additionally, the Company computed the fair value of the derivative liability at the commitment date and re-measurement date, which was $293 and $175, respectively, using the Black-Scholes assumptions below. This transaction is analogous to a dividend with a direct charge to retained earnings.

(D) Series D Convertible Preferred Stock

 

In January 2013 the board of directors authorized 1,600,000 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock. Between January 16, 2013 and February 4, 2013, the Company entered into separate subscription agreements with certain investors in connection with the offering, pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of Preferred Stock for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $12 million. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on January 11, 2013 (the “Certificate of Designation”), each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into two shares of common stock, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Certificate of Designation.

 

The shares of Series D have the following provisions:

 

·Voting rights based on number of common shares of conversion option;
·Initially no rights to dividends;
·Liquidation rights entitle an amount equal to the stated value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends,
·Convertible into 2 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment.

 

(E) Common Stock

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company issued the following common stock:

 

Transaction Type  Quantity
(#)
   Valuation 
($)
   Range of Value
per Share 
($)
 
Conversion of Series D preferred stock to common stock   2,710,000    11,675,481    2.80 – 7.54 
Cash and warrants   953,236    8,059,330    8.26 – 9.32 
Executive/Board of Director compensation   62,289    264,879    3.48 – 6.00 
Stock issued for services and to settle liabilities   1,262,830    9,894,844    4.02 – 12.99 
Total   4,988,355    29,894,534    2.80 – 12.99 

 

The fair value of all stock issuances above is based upon either the quoted closing trading price on the date of issuance, the value of derivative instrument at the date of conversion, contract value where the fair value was stated by the contract, or net proceeds from capital raised after giving effect to the cost of capital raised.

 

(F) Stock Options

 

The Company applied fair value accounting for all shares based payments awards. The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes assumptions used when the options were issued in the year ended December 31, 2010 are as follows:

 

Exercise price  $425 
Expected dividends   0%
Expected volatility   74.8%
Risk fee interest rate   1.4%
Expected life of option   5 years 
Expected forfeiture   0%

(I) Consulting Agreement

 

On July 19, 2012, we entered into a consulting agreement (the “Original GRQ Consulting Agreement”) with GRQ Consultants, Inc. (“GRQ”, and together with Melechdavid, collectively, the “Consultants”).

Further, until July 12, 2014, the Company is required to ensure that GRQ shall maintain its 4.2% fully diluted equity position. The term of the Original GRQ Consulting Agreement is 12 months.

 

On April 2, 2013, the Company entered into a first amendment to the Original Melechdavid Consulting Agreement with Melechdavid, effective as of March 28, 2013 (the “Melechdavid Amended Agreement”). Pursuant to the Melechdavid Amended Agreement, Melechdavid agreed to cap the shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) that it is entitled to receive under the Original Melechdavid Consulting Agreement to no more than 570,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, after giving effect to the 1-for-850 reverse stock split of the Common Stock effected by the Company on November 26, 2012. In connection with the execution and delivery of the Melechdavid Amended Agreement, the Company issued Melechdavid an aggregate of 341,247 shares of Common Stock on March 29, 2013 and 228,753 shares of Common Stock on April 5, 2013 as full satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under the Original Melechdavid Consulting Agreement.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 that was filed with the SEC on April 1, 2013.

 

Forward-Looking Information

 

Certain statements contained in this report on Form 10-Q are not statements of historical fact and constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the various provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including, without limitation, the statements specifically identified as forward-looking statements within this report. Many of these statements contain risk factors as well. In addition, certain statements in our future filings with the SEC, in press releases and in oral and written statements made by or with our approvals which are not statements of historical fact constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Examples of forward-looking statements, include, but are not limited to: (i) projections of capital expenditures, revenues, income or loss, earnings or loss per share, capital structure, and other financial items, (ii) statements of our plans and objectives or our management or board of directors, (iii) statements of future economic performance and (iv) statements of assumptions underlying such statements. Words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “targeted,” “may,” “will” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those identified in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and filed with the SEC on April 1, 2013.

 

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

 

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report on Form 10-Q.

Results of Operations

 

For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (unaudited):

  

   Three Months Ended

Sales - gross

 

Gross sales increased approximately $9.6 million or 51% to $28,516,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $18,869,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in sales was due primarily to increased awareness of our product brand, combined with hiring additional sales and marketing staff, and adding new products in an effort to expand our customer base. Since inception, we have focused on an aggressive marketing plan to penetrate the market. As such, significant promotional expenditures have been made to increase product sales through adding new customers and expanding our product line.

 

In this quarter the Company launched a women’s line named FitMiss. The momentum is beginning to show increasing sales for this new product line. The Company believes it has a good position for market share with a women’s line of products. The Company is also considering other new products. Overall as a direct result of our aggressive marketing plan, our products are currently being offered in more retail stores, both domestically and internationally, receiving better shelf placement, and receiving recognized awards compared to the prior period. At the 2012 Bodybuilding.com Supplement Awards, we received three Awards of Excellence; (i) the “Brand of the Year” award, (ii) the “Packaging of the Year” award, and (iii) the “Pre-Workout Supplement of the Year” award for AssaultTM, and MusclePharm remains the product of choice for the Ultimate Fighting Championship, UFC.

 

Discounts and sales allowances

 

Discounts and sales allowances for the three months ended June 30, 2013 decreased to approximately $3,035,000 or 10.6% of gross sales as compared to $3,440,000 or 18.2% of gross sales for the three months ended June 30, 2012. This decrease in discounts and allowances is a result driven by continued efforts to place controls around discounting and greater efforts to define customer terms and allowances.

 

23
 

 

Sales - net

 

Net sales increased approximately $10.1 million or 65% to $25,480,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $15,429,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. A significant growth area for the Company was nutritional product sales in international markets. International sales are included in the results of operations and increased approximately $3.5 million or 56% to $9,833,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $6,302,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit increased approximately $5.4 million or 218% to $7,913,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $2,487,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The gross profit percentage increased to approximately 31% of net sales during the three months ended June 30, 2013, from 16% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. This increase was primarily due to the reduction in discounts as a percentage of sales, new product pricing from our Tennessee manufacturer, and the reduction of shipping costs. As discussed in Note 2 of the financial statements for shipping, the Company is handling its own shipping and has decreased the cost to ship product to the customer thereby increasing gross profit. Shipping expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was 2.6% of net sales down from 3.2% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2013 the discounts as a percentage of gross sales was 10.6% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012 of 18.2%. We have also experienced a decrease in cost of goods sold as a result of improved product pricing For the three months ended June 30, 2013 the cost of goods as a percentage to sales was 69% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012 of 84%. We expect to focus on streamlining our operations and seek operating efficiencies in order to further improve our gross profit percentage.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013, increased to approximately $10,654,000, compared to approximately $4,151,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 a 157% increase. Part of the reason for this increase in G&A is two consulting contracts of GRQ and Melechdavid. These contracts, categorized in the table below as professional fees, were entered into by the Company to promote the growth and expansion necessary to expand and raise capital and repay the previous existing debt by which the Company was encumbered. The total amount booked as expense for these advisory contracts in the second quarter of 2013 totaled approximately $3.0 million and these contracts were satisfied as explained in Note 7 Stockholder’s Equity. This expense represents 46% of the total increase in the general and administrative expenses. The Company’s obligations under the GRQ and Melechdavid agreements were completely satisfied as of July 12, 2013 and the agreements have not been renewed or extended.

 

The 65% increase in sales necessitated increases in our general and administrative expenses and included $1,231,000 in the area of advertising and promotions used to promote brand and product awareness. We expect as we continue to promote our brand and products, these areas and levels of promotion will hold steady or increase relative to overall efforts to increase product awareness and sales.

 

Another area of increase is consulting expenses of $567,000 related to consulting on a variety of matters including investor relations, product research and development, product certifications, capital acquisition, and debt retirement.

 

The $6.5 million increase in general and administrative expenses including the significant items listed above were partially offset by the decrease of $182,000 in stock based compensation.

 

The following table provides an overview of expense categories and percentage of net revenue:

 

   Three Months Ended June 30, 
   2013   % of

Total G&A Expense  $10,654,272    41.80%  $4,151,076    26.90%

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

Discounts and sales allowances

 

Discounts and sales allowances for the six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased to approximately $5,398,000 or 10.1% of gross sales as compared to $6,182,000 or 16.2% of gross sales for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This decrease in discounts and allowances is a result driven by continued efforts to place controls around discounting and greater efforts to define customer terms and allowances.

 

Sales - net

 

Net sales increased approximately $16.1 million or 50% to $48,041,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $31,990,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. A significant growth area for the Company was nutritional product sales in international markets. International sales are included in the results of operations and increased approximately $7.5 million or 84% to $16,456,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $8,963,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit increased approximately $9.9 million or 161% to $16,078,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $6,152,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The gross profit percentage increased to approximately 33% of net sales during the six months ended June 30, 2013, from 19% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This increase was primarily due to the reduction in discounts as a percentage of sales, new product pricing from our Tennessee manufacturer, and the reduction of shipping costs. As discussed in Note 2 of the financial statements for shipping, the Company is handling its own shipping and has decreased the cost to ship product to the customer thereby increasing gross profit. Shipping expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was 2.3% of net sales down from 3.3% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2013 the discounts as a percentage of gross sales was 10.1% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012 of 16.2%. We have also experienced a decrease in cost of goods sold as a result of improved product pricing For the six months ended June 30, 2013 the cost of goods as a percentage to sales was 67% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012 of 81%. We expect to focus on streamlining our operations and seek operating efficiencies in order to further improve our gross profit percentage.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013, increased to approximately $19,541,000, compared to approximately $8,544,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 a 129%, increase. A primary reason for this increase in G&A is two consulting contracts of GRQ and Melechdavid. These contracts, categorized in the table below as professional fees, were entered into by the Company to promote the growth and expansion necessary to expand and raise capital and repay the previous existing debt by which the Company was encumbered. The total amount booked as expense for these advisory contracts in the first half of 2013 totaled approximately $6,592,000 and these contracts were satisfied as explained in Note 7 Stockholder’s Equity. This expense represents 60% of the total increase in the general and administrative expenses. The Company’s obligations under the GRQ and Melechdavid agreements were completely satisfied as of July 12, 2013 and the agreements have not been renewed or extended.

 

The 50% increase in sales necessitated increases in our general and administrative expenses and included $1,616,000 in the area of advertising and promotions used to promote brand and product awareness. We expect as we continue to promote our brand and products, these areas and levels of promotion will hold steady or increase relative to overall efforts to increase product awareness and sales. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in apparel and athlete endorsement/sponsorship of $307,000. Another area of increase is legal fees of $276,000 related to efforts required to obtain financing and dispute resolutions.

 

The $11 million increase in general and administrative expenses including the significant items listed above were partially offset by the decrease of $342,000 in stock based compensation.

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

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The following table summarizes total current assets, liabilities and working capital at June 30, 2013, compared to December 31, 2012.

  

   June 30, 2013   December 31, 2012   Increase/Decrease 
Current Assets  $21,748,744   $4,949,881   $16,798,863 
Current Liabilities  $10,641,490   $16,520,456   $(5,878,966)
Working Capital (Deficit)  $11,107,254   $(11,570,575)  $22,677,829 

 

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

 

The Company’s management believes current levels of liquidity are sufficient for current operations, but additional capital may be needed to execute the business plan, which includes buying more inventory. There can be no assurance that such capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all.

 

On March 27, 2013, MusclePharm sold an aggregate of 703,236 shares of its common stock, $0.001 par value per share at a per share price of $8.50 in a private placement to certain accredited investors for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $5,977,506, thereby providing working capital.

On June 3, 2013, MusclePharm sold an aggregate of 150,000 shares of its common stock, $0.001 par value per share at a per share price of $10.00 in a private placement to certain accredited investors, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1,398,139 thereby providing working capital.

 

The common stock was sold pursuant to subscription agreements dated June 3, 2013 between the Company and the Purchasers. The Subscription Agreements contained customary terms regarding, among other things, representations and warranties and indemnification.

 

At June 30, 2013, we had cash of $8,656,000 and working capital of approximately $11,107,000 compared to cash of $0 and a working capital deficit of approximately $11,571,000 at December 31, 2012. The working capital increase of approximately $22,678,000 was primarily due to a net increase in cash of $8,656,000, an increase in accounts receivable of $5,933,000 and a decrease in current liabilities of $5,879,000.

 

Cash used in operating activities was $5,164,810 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $438,007 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in cash used in operating activities of approximately $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012, was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable and prepaid expense of approximately $7.6 million, an increase in the amortization of prepaid stock compensation of $2.9 million, a decrease in customer deposits of approximately $1.5 million, a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $2.7 million, and a decrease on loss on settlement of approximately $3.3 million offset by a decrease in derivative expense and change in fair value of derivatives of approximately $4.9 million, a decrease in inventory of approximately $0.3 million, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of approximately $1.2 million and a decrease in net loss of approximately $70,000.

 

Cash used in investing activities decreased to $353,566 from $579,859 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, due to slightly lower spending on fixed assets. Future investments in property and equipment, as well as further development of our Internet presence will largely depend on available capital resources.

 

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $14,168,061 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to cash flows used in financing activities of $266,660 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The approximately $14.4 million increase was due to primarily to the net increase of approximately $18.4 million net proceeds from equity offerings, a decrease of approximately $0.4 million in the repurchase of common stock and a decrease of approximately $0.1 million in debt issue costs offset by a decrease of approximately $4.1 million in proceeds from issuance of debt and an increase in debt repayment of approximately $0.3 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

 

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

 

 Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

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

 

We perform ongoing evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and generally do not require collateral. Management reviews accounts receivable periodically and reduces the carrying amount by a valuation allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of amounts that may not be collectible. Allowances, if any, for uncollectible accounts receivable are determined based upon information available and historical experience.

 

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

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

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

 

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

  

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

 

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

 

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

 

29
 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

Depending on individual customer agreements, sales are recognized either upon shipment of products to customers or upon delivery. We record sales allowances and discounts as a direct reduction of sales.

 

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

 

We have an informal seven day right to return products. There were nominal returns at the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

Foreign Currency

 

We began operations in Canada in April 2012. The Canadian Dollar was determined to be the functional currency as the majority of the transactions related to the day to day operations of the business are exchanged in Canadian Dollars. At the end of the period, the financial results of the Canadian operation are translated into United States Dollars, which is the reporting currency, and added to the U.S. operations for consolidated company financial results. The revenue and expense items are translated using the average rate for the period and the assets and liabilities at the end of period rate. Transactions that have completed the accounting cycle and resulted in a gain or loss related to translation are recorded in realized gain or loss due to foreign currency translation under other income expense on the income statement. Transactions that have not completed their accounting cycle but appear to have gain or loss due to the translation process are recorded as unrealized gain or loss due to translation and held in the equity section on the balance sheet until such date the accounting cycle of a transaction is complete and the actual realized gain or loss is recognized.

 

Beneficial Conversion Feature

 

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

 

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

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

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

 

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

 

Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount

 

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

 

Original Issue Discount

 

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

 

30
 

 

Share-Based Payments

 

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

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Not Applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
