PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information that you should consider before investing in the common stock. You should carefully read the entire prospectus, including “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the consolidated financial statements, before making an investment decision. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those described in “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” All references to “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “company” mean Luxeyard, Inc.

 

Business Overview

 

We function as a member-based online marketplace for luxury consumer products we source from merchants and offer to our members through our website via a “flash sale” or “daily deal” at deep discounts to retail prices.  In January 2012, we launched our website www.Luxeyard.com and began operations. Initially, we focused on household furnishings and goods such as furniture, lighting and bedding. On March 27, 2012, we launched LuxeStyle, our apparel and accessories line.  As our member base and merchant selection increase, we expect to expand our offerings to include other consumer goods such as travel, gourmet food and beverages, consumer services events and gift cards.

 

Each week we conduct several “flash sale” events on our website in which we feature merchandise at steep discounts to suggested retail prices.  At the beginning of each event, members receive an email describing the featured products and it directs them to our website to participate.  We list events on the member homepage of our website and each event remains on our site for three to five days, depending on demand and quantity offered. 

  

In addition to flash sales, we also feature a “Daily Deal” whereby we offer a single product on our website for a 24 hour period.  Similar to flash sales, our members receive email notifications when deals commence, directing them to the member homepage for more details.  Unlike other deal of the day models, members are not required to purchase a minimum number of products before the deal becomes active.  In some cases, when our group buy feature is active, as more members participate in the deal, the purchase price decreases. Group buying, also known as collective buying, offers products and services at significantly reduced prices on the condition that a minimum number of buyers would make the purchase.

 

Members purchase products directly through our website via credit card and, in most cases, products ship directly from the merchant’s location to the member.

 

With our Concierge Buying program, we use a model similarly used by companies such as Facebook and Pinterest to determine customer wants. The customer participates interactively with us by pinning or liking a product. We accumulate data to determine what products customers are interested in and we then source the most popular products and offer those to the members via a sale that features special notifications and discounts for those who contributed to the process.

 

In April, we began a Business to Business program through which we source containers of goods and sell them to retailers via our business to business website.

 

The retailers are offered products prior to the arrival of the container shipments and any unsold items from the container shipment are then offered on our website. The Business to Business program is operating under the TradeYard dba and offers flash sales to businesses and daily deals to businesses.

 

We manage and operate the LeatherGroups web-site.

 

We operate in an extremely competitive “flash sales” space within internet retail, which has experienced significant growth in the number of flash sales sites over the last 24 months, and in the amount of financial support by major private equity firms. We believe our company can distinguish itself in this environment based on consumer inter-activeness of the site, our dynamic marketing plan, supply chain expertise, and engagement of industry influences through our LuxeLife Trendsetter program. In addition, we are actively exploring strategic acquisitions, geographic expansion (including initiatives in India and Australia), and product line diversification, to position the company for revenue and profitability growth. Our success will depend, among other factors, on the company’s ability to acquire and retain active members in cost-efficient ways, attract merchants at favorable terms, and regularly introduce deals of high value, quality, and relevance to our members.

 

Our financial statements as of December 31, 2011 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued a report that included an explanatory paragraph referring to our recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations and expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity financing or other capital, attain further operating efficiencies, reduce expenditures, and, ultimately, generate additional revenue. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We are continually evaluating opportunities to raise additional funds through public or private equity financings, as well as evaluating prospective business partners, and will continue to do so. However, if adequate funds are not available to us when we need them, and we are unable to enter into some form of strategic relationship that will give us access to additional cash resources, we will be required to even further curtail our operations which would, in turn, further raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The anticipated amount of capital we will need to continue as a going concern is estimated at $750,000. If we fail to acquire and retain members, our revenue and business will be harmed.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this report, before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our shares of common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should read the section entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” below for a discussion of what types of statements are forward-looking statements, as well as the significance of such statements in the context of this report.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

We have a history of operating losses and there can be no assurance that we can achieve or maintain profitability.

 

We have a history of operating losses and may not achieve or sustain profitability. We cannot guarantee that we will become profitable.  Even if we achieve profitability, given the competitive and evolving nature of the industry in which we operate, we may be unable to sustain or increase profitability and our failure to do so would adversely affect our business, including our ability to raise additional funds.

 

Our operating results may fluctuate significantly and our stock price could decline or fluctuate if our results do not meet the expectation of analysts or investors.

 

We expect to experience substantial variations in our net sales and operating results from quarter to quarter.  As a result of fluctuations in our revenue and operating expenses that may occur, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations are not a good indication of our future performance. It is possible that in some future quarter or quarters, our operating results will be below the expectations of securities analysts or investors. In that case, our common stock price could fluctuate significantly or decline.

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing.

 

Our financial statements as of December 31, 2011 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued a report that included an explanatory paragraph referring to our recurring net losses and negative cash flows from operations and expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity financing or other capital, attain further operating efficiencies, reduce expenditures, and, ultimately, generate additional revenue. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We are continually evaluating opportunities to raise additional funds through public or private equity financings, as well as evaluating prospective business partners, and will continue to do so. However, if adequate funds are not available to us when we need them, and we are unable to enter into some form of strategic relationship that will give us access to additional cash resources, we will be required to even further curtail our operations which would, in turn, further raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We expect to spend approximately $4,319,715 on online marketing and advertising initiatives relating to member acquisition for the next twelve months and expect to continue to spend significant amounts to acquire additional members. We must acquire and retain members that purchase our deals in order to increase revenue and achieve profitability. We cannot assure you that the revenue from members we acquire will ultimately exceed the cost of acquiring members. If consumers do not perceive our offers to be of high value and quality or if we fail to introduce new and more relevant deals, we may not be able to acquire or retain members. If we are unable to acquire and retain members who purchase our deals in numbers sufficient to grow our business, or if members cease to purchase our deals, the revenue we generate may decrease and our operating results will be adversely affected.

 

In addition, some of our new members are originated from word-of-mouth or other non-paid referrals including other members, and therefore we must ensure that our members will remain loyal to our service in order for us to continue receiving those referrals. If our efforts to satisfy our members are not successful, we may not be able to acquire new members in sufficient numbers to grow our business or we may be required to incur significantly higher marketing expenses in order to acquire new members. Further, we believe that our success is influenced by the level of communication and sharing among members. If the level of usage by our member base does not grow as expected, we may suffer a decline in member growth or revenue. A failure to acquire members or a significant decrease in the level of member usage after or the launch of our website would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

If we fail to acquire and retain members, our revenue and business will be harmed.

A failure to acquire members or a significant decrease in the level of member usage after or the launch of our website would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

If we fail to initially attract merchants or fail to add new merchants after the launch of our website, our revenue and business will be harmed.

 

We depend on our ability to attract and retain merchants that are prepared to offer products or services on compelling terms through our marketplace. We currently do not have any long-term arrangements with the vendors to guarantee the availability of deals that offer attractive quality, value and variety to consumers or favorable payment terms to the Company.  We must attract and then retain merchants in order to generate and increase revenue and achieve profitability. If merchants do not find our marketing and promotional services effective or do not believe that utilizing our services provide them with a long-term increase in customers, revenue or profit, they may not make, or continue to make, offers through our marketplace. In addition, we may experience attrition in our merchants in the ordinary course of business resulting from several factors, including losses to competitors and merchant closures or bankruptcies. If we are unable to attract merchants in numbers sufficient to grow our business, or if too many merchants are unwilling to offer products or services with compelling terms through our marketplace or offer favorable payment terms to us, we may sell fewer deals and our operating results will be adversely affected.

 

If our efforts to market, advertise and promote products and services from our merchants are not successful, or if merchants do not believe that utilizing our services provides them with a long-term increase in customers, revenue or profit, we may not be able to attract and retain merchants in sufficient numbers to grow our business or we may be required to incur significantly higher marketing expenses or accept lower margins in order to attract merchants. A failure to attract merchants, a significant increase in merchant attrition or decrease in merchant growth would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.

 

Our business is highly competitive.  Competition presents an ongoing threat to the success of our business.

 

The online group buying market is extremely competitive and we expect competition in e-commerce generally, and group buying in particular, to continue to increase because there are no significant barriers to entry. A substantial number of group buying sites that feature similar business models exist and may continue to emerge. In addition to such competitors, we expect to increasingly compete against other large internet and technology-based businesses, such as Amazon, Google and Microsoft, each of which has launched initiatives which are directly competitive to our business. We also expect to compete against other internet sites that are focused on specific communities or interests and offer discount arrangements related to such communities or interests. We also compete with traditional offline discount services, as well as newspapers, magazines and other traditional media companies who provide coupons and discounts on products and services.

 

We believe that our ability to compete depends upon many factors both within and beyond our control, including the following:

 

·the size and composition of our member base and the number of merchants we feature;
·the timing and market acceptance of deals we offer, including the developments and enhancements to those deals offered by us or our competitors;
·member and merchant service and support efforts;
·selling and marketing efforts;
·ease of use, performance, price and reliability of services offered either by us or our competitors;

 

9
 

 

·our ability to cost-effectively manage our operations; and
·our reputation and brand strength relative to our competitors.

 

Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources and larger member bases than we do. These factors may allow our competitors to benefit from their existing customer or member base with lower customer acquisition costs or to respond more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies and changes in consumer habits. These competitors may engage in more extensive research and development efforts, undertake more far-reaching marketing campaigns and adopt more aggressive pricing policies, which may allow them to build larger member bases or generate revenue from their member bases more effectively than we do. Our competitors may offer deals that are similar to the deals we offer or that achieve greater market acceptance than the deals we offer. This could attract members away from our websites, reduce our market share and adversely impact our revenue. In addition, we are dependent on some of our existing or potential competitors for banner advertisements and other marketing initiatives to acquire new members. Our ability to utilize their platforms to acquire new members may be adversely affected if they choose to compete more directly with us.

 

If we are unable to retain favorable terms with our merchants, our revenue may be adversely affected.

 

The success of our business depends in part on our ability to attract, retain and increase the number of merchants who use our service.  If merchants decide that utilizing our services no longer provides an effective means of attracting new customers or selling their goods and services, they may demand a higher percentage of the gross billings from each deal sold. This would adversely affect our revenue.

 

In addition, some competitors may accept lower margins, or negative margins, to attract attention and acquire new members. If competitors engage in group buying initiatives in which merchants receive a higher percentage of the gross billings than we offer, we may be forced to pay a higher percentage of the gross billings than we offer, which may reduce our revenue.

 

Our business relies heavily on email and other messaging services, and any restrictions on the sending of emails or messages or a decrease in member willingness to receive messages could adversely affect our revenue and business.

 

Our business will be highly dependent upon email and other messaging services. Deals offered through emails and other messages sent by us, or on our behalf by our affiliates, are expected to generate a substantial portion of our revenue. Because of the importance of email and other messaging services to our businesses, if we are unable to successfully deliver emails or messages to our members or potential members, or if members decline to open our emails or messages, our revenue and profitability would be adversely affected. Actions by third parties to block, impose restrictions on, or charge for the delivery of emails or other messages could also materially and adversely impact our business. From time to time, internet service providers block bulk email transmissions or otherwise experience technical difficulties that result in our inability to successfully deliver emails or other messages to third parties. In addition, our use of email and other messaging services to send communications about our website or other matters may result in legal claims against us, which if successful might limit or prohibit our ability to send emails or other messages. Any disruption or restriction on the distribution of emails or other messages or any increase in the associated costs would materially and adversely affect our revenue and profitability.

 

If our merchants do not meet the needs and expectations of our members, our business could suffer.

 

Our business will depend on providing high-quality luxury deals and our brand and reputation may be harmed by actions taken by merchants that are outside our control. Any shortcomings of one or more of our merchants, particularly with respect to delivery of products or an issue affecting the quality of the deal offered or the products or services sold, may be attributed by our members to us, thus damaging our reputation, brand value and potentially affecting our results of operations. In addition, negative publicity and member sentiment generated as a result of fraudulent or deceptive conduct by our merchants could damage our reputation, reduce our ability to attract new members or retain our current members, and diminish the value of our brand.

Our business depends substantially on the continuing efforts of our senior management and other key personnel, and our business may be severely disrupted if we lost their services.

 

Our future success heavily depends on the continued service of our senior management and other key employees. If one or more of our senior executives are unable or unwilling to continue to work for us in their present positions, we may have to spend a considerable amount of time and resources searching, recruiting, and integrating the replacements into our operations, which would substantially divert management’s attention from our business and severely disrupt our business. This may also adversely affect our ability to execute our business strategy. Key executives are Braden Richter, Chief Executive Officer and President, Bryan Semmens, Chief financial Officer, Jerry Wilkerson, Chief Technology Officer and Chief Operating Officer, and Josh Thompson, Chief Marketing Officer, The Chief Financial Officer was not contractually bound to the Company and recently left the Company. The company operates in an industry that changes rapidly and is highly competitive, and it may be difficult to attract new candidates if any of our senior executives leave. Moreover, if any of our senior executives joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, suppliers, know-how, and key employees.

 

If one or more of our senior executives are unable or unwilling to continue to work for us in their present positions, we may have to spend a considerable amount of time and resources searching, recruiting, and integrating the replacements into our operations, which would substantially divert management’s attention from our business and severely disrupt our business. This may also adversely affect our ability to execute our business strategy. Moreover, if any of our senior executives joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose customers, suppliers, know-how, and key employees.

 

Our senior management member, Jerome Wilkerson, COO/CTO, owns a business that is in potential competition with our business.

 

Mr. Wilkerson has been our Chief Technology and Information Officer since November 8, 2011.  Mr. Wilkerson has also served as Chief Technical & Information Officer of our subsidiary, LY Retail-California, since September 2011. Since 2002 he has also owned his own retail ecommerce business, Home Loft, Inc., with which LuxeYard is currently under a Management Services Agreement.  This business is a retail business that sells furniture under various brand names through Internet websites which may be in potential competition with our business. 

 

Our senior management’s limited experience managing a publicly traded company may divert management’s attention from operations and harm our business.

 

Our senior management team has relatively limited experience managing a publicly traded company and complying with federal securities laws, including compliance with recently adopted disclosure requirements on a timely basis.  Our management will be required to design and implement appropriate programs and policies in responding to increased legal, regulatory compliance and reporting requirements, and any failure to do so could lead to the imposition of fines and penalties and harm our business.

 

We may be unable to attract and retain qualified, experienced, highly skilled personnel, which could adversely affect the implementation of our business plan.

 

Our success depends to a significant degree upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate skilled and qualified personnel. As we become a more mature company in the future, we may find our recruiting and retention efforts more challenging. We will be seeking to hire a significant number of personnel, including certain key management personnel. If we do not succeed in attracting, hiring and integrating excellent personnel, or retaining and motivating existing personnel, we may be unable to grow effectively. The loss of any key employee, including members of our senior management team, and our inability to attract highly skilled personnel with sufficient experience in our industries could harm our business.

 

Our business is impacted by general economic conditions and related uncertainties affecting markets in which we operate.

 

General economic conditions, in particular conditions that impact consumer spending and construction and industrial activity, could adversely impact our business. These conditions could result in reduced demand for our deals, increased order cancellations and returns, an increased risk of excess and obsolete inventories and increased pressure on the prices of our products.

 

Difficult economic conditions could also increase the risk of extending credit to our retailers. Although we believe that our use of a commercial factor reduces such risk, the factor may at any time terminate or limit its approval of shipments to a particular customer, and the likelihood of the factor doing so may increase as a result of current economic conditions.  Such an action by the factor could result in the loss of future sales to the affected customer.

 

We depend on the continued growth of online commerce.

 

The business of selling goods and services over the internet, particularly through coupons, is dynamic and relatively new. Concerns about fraud, privacy and other problems may discourage additional consumers and merchants from adopting the internet as a medium of commerce. In order to expand our member base, we must appeal to and acquire members who historically have used traditional means of commerce to purchase goods and services and may prefer internet analogues to our offerings, such as the retailer’s own website. If these consumers prove to be less active than our earlier members, or we are unable to gain efficiencies in our operating costs, including our cost of acquiring new members, our business could be adversely impacted.

Government regulation of the internet and e-commerce is evolving, and unfavorable changes or failure by us to comply with these regulations could substantially harm our business and results of operations.

 

We are subject to general business regulations and laws as well as regulations and laws specifically governing the internet and e-commerce. Existing and future regulations and laws could impede the growth of the internet or other online services. These regulations and laws may involve taxation, tariffs, member privacy, anti-spam, data protection, content, copyrights, distribution, electronic contracts and other communications, consumer protection, the provision of online payment services and the characteristics and quality of services. It is not clear how existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, sales and other taxes, libel and personal privacy apply to the internet as the vast majority of these laws were adopted prior to the advent of the internet and do not contemplate or address the unique issues raised by the internet or e-commerce. In addition, it is possible that governments of one or more countries may seek to censor content available on our websites and applications or may even attempt to completely block access to our websites. Adverse legal or regulatory developments could substantially harm our business. In particular, in the event that we are restricted, in whole or in part, from operating in one or more countries, our ability to retain or increase our member base may be adversely affected and we may not be able to maintain or grow our revenue as anticipated.

 

Failure to comply with federal, state and international privacy laws and regulations, or the expansion of current or the enactment of new privacy laws or regulations, could adversely affect our business.

 

A variety of federal and state laws and regulations govern the collection, use, retention, sharing and security of consumer data. The existing privacy-related laws and regulations are evolving and subject to potentially differing interpretations. In addition, various federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatory bodies may expand current or enact new laws regarding privacy matters. For example, recently there have been Congressional hearings and increased attention to the capture and use of location-based information relating to users of smartphones and other mobile devices. We will post privacy policies and practices concerning the collection, use and disclosure of member data on our websites and applications. Several internet companies have incurred penalties for failing to abide by the representations made in their privacy policies and practices. In addition, several states have adopted legislation that requires businesses to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices to protect sensitive personal information and to provide notice to consumers in the event of a security breach. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with our posted privacy policies or with any data-related consent orders, Federal Trade Commission requirements or orders or other federal, state or international privacy or consumer protection-related laws, regulations or industry self-regulatory principles could result in claims, proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others or other liabilities, which could adversely affect our business. In addition, a failure or perceived failure to comply with industry standards or with our own privacy policies and practices could result in a loss of members or merchants and adversely affect our business. Federal and state governmental authorities continue to evaluate the privacy implications inherent in the use of third-party web “cookies” for behavioral advertising. The regulation of these cookies and other current online advertising practices could adversely affect our business.

 

We may suffer liability as a result of information retrieved from or transmitted over the internet and claims related to our service offerings.

 

We may be sued for defamation, civil rights infringement, negligence, patent, copyright or trademark infringement, invasion of privacy, personal injury, product liability, breach of contract, unfair competition, discrimination, antitrust or other legal claims relating to information that is published or made available on our websites or service offerings we make available. In addition, we could incur significant costs in investigating and defending such claims, even if we ultimately are not found liable. If any of these events occurs, our net income could be materially and adversely affected.

 

We are subject to risks associated with information disseminated through our websites and applications, including consumer data, content that is produced by our staff and errors or omissions related to our product offerings. Such information, whether accurate or inaccurate, may result in our being sued by our merchants, members or third parties and as a result our revenue and goodwill could be materially and adversely affected.

Our business depends on our ability to maintain and scale the network infrastructure necessary to operate our websites and applications, and any significant disruption in service on our websites or applications could result in a loss of members, customers or merchants.

 

Members access our deals through our websites. Our reputation and ability to acquire, retain and serve our members and customers are dependent upon the reliable performance of our websites and the underlying network infrastructure. As our member base and the amount of information shared on our websites continue to grow, we will need an increasing amount of network capacity and computing power. We have spent and expect to continue to spend substantial amounts on data centers and equipment and related network infrastructure to handle the traffic on our websites and applications. The operation of these systems is expensive and complex and could result in operational failures. In the event that our member base or the amount of traffic on our websites grows more quickly than anticipated, we may be required to incur significant additional costs. Interruptions in these systems, whether due to system failures, computer viruses or physical or electronic break-ins, could affect the security or availability of our websites and applications, and prevent our members from accessing our services. A substantial portion of our network infrastructure is hosted by third-party providers. Any disruption in these services or any failure of these providers to handle existing or increased traffic could significantly harm our business. Any financial or other difficulties these providers face may adversely affect our business, and we exercise little control over these providers, which increases our vulnerability to problems with the services they provide. If we do not maintain or expand our network infrastructure successfully or if we experience operational failures, we could lose current and potential members and merchants, which could harm our operating results and financial condition.

 

Our business depends on the development and maintenance of the internet infrastructure.

 

The success of our services depends largely on the development and maintenance of the internet infrastructure. This includes maintenance of a reliable network backbone with the necessary speed, data capacity and security, as well as timely development of complementary products, for providing reliable internet access and services. The internet has experienced, and is likely to continue to experience, significant growth in the number of users and amount of traffic. The internet infrastructure may be unable to support such demands. In addition, increasing numbers of users, increasing bandwidth requirements or problems caused by viruses, worms, malware and similar programs may harm the performance of the internet. The backbone computers of the internet have been the targets of such programs. The internet has experienced a variety of outages and other delays as a result of damage to portions of its infrastructure, and it could face outages and delays in the future. These outages and delays could reduce the level of internet usage generally as well as the level of usage of our services, which could adversely impact our business.

 

We will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company.

 

We face increased legal, accounting, administrative and other costs and expenses as a public company that we do not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, including the requirements of Section 404, as well as new rules and regulations subsequently implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”), impose additional reporting and other obligations on public companies. We expect that compliance with these public company requirements will increase our costs and make some activities more time-consuming. A number of those requirements will require us to carry out activities we have not done previously. For example, we will adopt new internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. In addition, we will incur additional expenses associated with our SEC reporting requirements. Furthermore, if we identify any issues in complying with those requirements (for example, if we or our accountants identify a material weakness or significant deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting), we could incur additional costs rectifying those issues, and the existence of those issues could adversely affect us, our reputation or investor perceptions of us. We also expect that it will be difficult and expensive to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. Advocacy efforts by stockholders and third parties may also prompt even more changes in corporate governance and reporting requirements. We expect that the additional reporting and other obligations imposed on us by these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and the costs of our related legal, accounting and administrative activities significantly. These increased costs will require us to divert a significant amount of money that we could otherwise use to expand our business and achieve our strategic objectives.

Our ability to raise capital in the future may be limited, and our failure to raise capital when needed could prevent us from growing.

 

We may in the future be required to raise capital through public or private financing or other arrangements. Such financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and our failure to raise capital when needed could harm our business. Additional equity financing may dilute the interests of our common stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants and could reduce our profitability. If we cannot raise funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to grow our business or respond to competitive pressures. The anticipated amount of capital we will need to continue as a going concern is estimated at $750,000.

 

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock

 

Our common stock has a limited trading market, which could affect your ability to sell shares of our common stock and the price you may receive for our common stock.

 

Our common stock is currently traded on the OTCQB under the symbol “LUXR.” There is only limited trading activity in our securities. We have a relatively small public float compared to the number of our shares outstanding. Accordingly, we cannot predict the extent to which investors’ interest in our common stock will provide an active and liquid trading market. Due to our limited public float, we may be vulnerable to investors taking a “short position” in our common stock, which would likely have a depressing effect on the price of our common stock and add increased volatility to our trading market.  The volatility of the market for our common stock could have a materially adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. There cannot be any guarantee that an active trading market for our securities will develop or, if such a market does develop, will be sustained. Accordingly, investors must be able to bear the financial risk of losing their entire investment in our common stock.

 

Our common stock is quoted only on the OTCQB, which may have an unfavorable impact on our stock price and liquidity.

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB. The OTCQB is a significantly more limited market than the New York Stock Exchange or The NASDAQ Stock Market. The quotation of our shares on the OTCQB may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential stockholders to trade shares of our common stock, could depress the trading price of our common stock, and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the future.

 

If we are unable to adequately fund our operations, we may be forced to voluntarily file for deregistration of our common stock with the SEC.

 

Compliance with the periodic reporting requirements required by the SEC consumes a considerable amount of both internal, as well external, resources and represents a significant cost for us.  We estimate that we will incur approximately $250,000 in costs in connection with compliance with the periodic reporting requirements required by the SEC on an annual basis.  If we are unable to continue to devote adequate funding and the resources needed to maintain such compliance, while continuing our operations, we may be forced to deregister with the SEC.  If we file for deregistration, our common stock will no longer be listed on the OTCQB, and it may suffer a decrease in, or absence of, liquidity as after the deregistration process is complete, our common stock will only be tradable on the “Pink Sheets.”

 

Because we became public by means of a “reverse merger,” we may not be able to attract the attention of major brokerage firms.

 

Additional risks may exist since we will become public through a “reverse merger.” Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of us since there is little incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of our common stock. We cannot assure you that brokerage firms will want to conduct any secondary offerings on behalf of our company in the future.

The sale of securities by us in any equity or debt financing could result in dilution to our existing stockholders and have a material adverse effect on our earnings.

 

Any sale of common stock by us in a future private placement offering could result in dilution to the existing stockholders as a direct result of our issuance of additional shares of our capital stock.  In addition, our business strategy may include expansion through internal growth, by acquiring members email lists, or by establishing strategic relationships with targeted customers and vendor.  In order to do so, or to finance the cost of our other activities, we may issue additional equity securities that could dilute our stockholders’ stock ownership.  We may also assume additional debt and incur impairment losses related to goodwill and other tangible assets if we acquire another company and this could negatively impact our earnings and results of operations.

 

There may be future sales or other dilution of our common stock, including from the conversion of our 8% preferred stock, and the exercise of our warrants, which may materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock and negatively impact a holder’s investments.

 

We are not restricted from issuing additional common stock, including any securities that are convertible into or exercisable for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock or any substantially similar securities. We may issue additional preferred stock, except, if it ranks senior to, or on parity with, our 8% preferred stock, we must obtain the consent of holders of our 8% preferred stock. In addition, quarterly dividends payable on our 8% preferred stock may be paid “in-kind,” at our option, in additional shares of 8% preferred stock. The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of issuances of common stock, 8% preferred stock, warrants or similar securities in the market in the future or the perception that such issuances could occur. For example, if we issue preferred stock in the future that (i) has a preference over our common stock with respect to the payment of dividends or upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, (ii) has voting rights that dilute the voting power of our common stock or (iii) is convertible into our common stock, the rights of holders of our common stock or the market price of our common stock could be adversely affected.

 

Each share of our 8% preferred stock is convertible into, and each warrant is exercisable for, at the option of the holder, shares of our common stock. The conversion or exercise of some or all of our 8% preferred stock or warrants, as applicable, will dilute the ownership interest of existing holders of our common stock. Any sales in the public market of our common stock issuable upon such conversion or exercise could adversely affect prevailing market prices of the outstanding shares of our common stock or 8% preferred stock or warrants. In addition, the existence of our 8% preferred stock and warrants may encourage short selling or arbitrage trading activity by market participants because the conversion of our 8% preferred stock or exercise of our warrants could depress the price of our common stock.

 

Furthermore, grants of restricted common stock and options have been made to our officers and key employees under our management incentive and other employee incentive plans.

 

Together with these grants, there are currently outstanding 8,904,287 shares of our 8% preferred stock that are currently convertible into 8,904,287 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 24,099,003 shares of our common stock and 3,608,246 stock grants relating to various agreements. Upon the vesting of restricted shares, the conversion of our 8% preferred stock or the exercise of warrants and options, these securities would have a dilutive effect on our outstanding shares of common stock.

 

Future sales of our common stock in the public market could lower the price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise funds in future securities offerings.

 

Future sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the then prevailing market price of our common stock and could make it more difficult for us to raise funds in the future through a public offering of its securities.

 

The market price of our common stock may be volatile and may be affected by market conditions beyond our control.

 

The market price of our common stock is subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other factors:

 

·variations in our operating results and market conditions specific to companies offering group-buying deals;
·changes in financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts;
·the emergence of new competitors;
·operating and market price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable;
·changes in our board or management;

 

15
 

 

·sales or purchases of our common stock by insiders;
·commencement of, or involvement in, litigation;
·changes in governmental regulations; and
·general economic conditions and slow or negative growth of related markets.

 

In addition, if the market for stocks in our industry, or the stock market in general, experiences a loss of investor confidence, the market price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition or results of operations. If any of the foregoing occurs it could cause the price of our common stock to fall and may expose us to lawsuits that, even if unsuccessful, could be costly to defend and a distraction to the board of directors and management.

 

We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future, and you must rely on increases in the market prices of our common stock for returns on your investment.

 

For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock. Accordingly, investors must be prepared to rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation to earn an investment return, which may never occur. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our board of directors deems relevant.

 

We are subject to penny stock regulations and restrictions and you may have difficulty selling shares of our common stock.

 

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define so-called “penny stocks” as an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. Our shares of common stock are “penny stock” and we are subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act (the “Penny Stock Rule”). This rule imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (generally, individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouses). For transactions covered by Rule 15g-9, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. As a result, this rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect the ability of purchasers to sell any of our securities in the secondary market.

 

For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require delivery, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about sales commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock.

 

There can be no assurance that our shares of common stock will qualify for exemption from the Penny Stock Rule. In any event, even if our common stock was exempt from the Penny Stock Rule, we would remain subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act, which gives the SEC the authority to restrict any person from participating in a distribution of penny stock if the SEC finds that such a restriction would be in the public interest.

 

16
 

 

Until the conversion of our 8% preferred stock or the exercise of our warrants, holders of these securities do not have identical rights as holders of our common stock, but they will be subject to all changes made with respect to our common stock.

 

Before converting shares of our 8% preferred stock, holders of our 8% preferred stock are not entitled to any rights with respect to our common stock (other than voting rights and rights to receive dividends or other distributions on our common stock), but they are subject to all changes affecting our common stock. In addition, holders of warrants are not entitled to any rights with respect to our common stock (including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on our common stock), but they also will be subject to all changes affecting our common stock. Even though holders of our 8% preferred stock vote on an as-converted basis with holders of our common stock, they will only be entitled to exercise all of the rights of a holder of our common stock upon conversion of their 8% preferred stock and only as to matters for which the record date occurs on or after the applicable conversion date and to the extent permitted by law, although they will be subject to any changes in the powers, preferences or special rights of our common stock that may occur as a result of any stockholder action. Similarly, holders of our warrants will have rights with respect to our common stock only if they receive our common stock upon exercise of the warrants and only as of the date when such holder becomes a record owner of the shares of our common stock upon such exercise. For example, with respect to warrants, if an amendment is proposed to our certificate of incorporation or bylaws requiring stockholder approval and the record date for determining the stockholders of record entitled to vote on the amendment occurs prior to the date a warrant holder is deemed to be the owner of the shares of our common stock due upon exercise of the warrants, the exercising warrant holder will not be entitled to vote on the amendment, although such holder will nevertheless be subject to any changes in the powers, preferences or special rights of our common stock.

 

In the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, our 8% preferred stock will rank senior to our common stock but junior to all of our liabilities.

 

In the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, the holders of our 8% preferred stock may exercise their rights to convert all or a portion of stock into common stock. Each holder of 8% preferred stock that does not exercise its rights to convert shall be entitled to receive out of our assets, for each share of 8% preferred stock, cash in an amount equal to (i) the original issue price plus (ii) all accrued but unpaid dividends on the shares, before any payment or distribution shall be made on the common stock, but after payment of all outstanding indebtedness and all amounts due on liquidation, dissolution or winding-up in respect of all preferred stock of the Corporation which by its terms is senior to the 8% preferred stock, if any.

 

Our 8% preferred stock is perpetual in nature.

 

Shares of our 8% preferred stock represent a perpetual interest in the Company and, unlike indebtedness, will not give rise to a claim for payment of a principal amount at a particular date. Therefore, holders should be aware that they may be required to bear the financial risks of an investment in our 8% preferred stock for an indefinite period of time, unless such holders convert, at their option, their shares of 8% preferred stock into common stock.

 

A fundamental transaction with respect to us may trigger certain rights for the purpose of our 8% preferred stock.

 

The certificate of designations of our 8% preferred stock contains a covenant that if a “fundamental transaction”, as defined in the certificate of designations of our 8% preferred stock, occurs, then such event will be treated as liquidation for purposes of a liquidation preference in the certificate of designations. In which case, the holders of our 8% preferred stock may exercise their rights to convert all or a portion of stock into common stock. Each holder of preferred stock that does not exercise its rights to convert shall be entitled to receive out of our assets, for each share of preferred stock, cash in an amount equal to (i) the original issue price plus (ii) all accrued but unpaid dividends on the shares, before any payment or distribution shall be made on the common stock, but after payment of all outstanding indebtedness and all amounts due on liquidation, dissolution or winding-up in respect of all preferred stock of the Corporation which by its terms is senior to the 8% preferred stock, if any. Any change of control transaction with respect to the Company may also negatively affect the liquidity, value or volatility of our common stock and thereby negatively impact the value of our 8% preferred stock (and our warrants). Additionally, the provisions of our 8% preferred stock related to fundamental transactions could have the effect of discouraging third parties from pursuing certain transactions with us, which may otherwise be in the best interest of our stockholders.

 

The adjustment to the exercise price for warrants exercised in connection with an anti-dilutive adjustment event may not adequately compensate you for any lost value of your warrants as a result of such transaction.

 

If a specified corporate event or transaction constituting a dilutive event occurs, under certain circumstances we will decrease the exercise price for warrants exercised in connection with such dilutive adjustment event. The decrease in the exercise price will be determined based on the date on which the dilutive event occurs or becomes effective and the price paid per share of our common stock in such dilutive event. The adjustment to the exercise price for warrants exercised in connection with a dilutive event may not adequately compensate you for any lost value of your warrants as a result of such dilutive event.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, principally in the sections entitled “Description of Business,” “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this prospectus, including statements regarding future events, our future financial performance, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by terminology including “anticipates,” “believes,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “should,” or “will” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Although we do not make forward looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks outlined under “Risk Factors” or elsewhere in this prospectus, which may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risk factors, nor can we address the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.

 

You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement, each of which applies only as of the date of this prospectus. Before you invest in our securities, you should be aware that the occurrence of the events described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus could negatively affect our business, operating results, financial condition and stock price. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus to conform our statements to actual results or changed expectations.

  

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We plan to retain any earnings for the foreseeable future for our operations. We have never paid any dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements and such other factors as our Board of Directors deems relevant. In addition, our credit facility restricts our ability to pay dividends.

 

Each holder of our 8% preferred stock, in preference and priority to the holders of all other classes of stock, shall be entitled to receive, with respect to each share of 8% preferred stock, dividends, commencing from the date of issuance of such share of preferred stock, at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. The 8% preferred stock dividends are cumulative, whether or not earned or declared, and are to be paid by us quarterly in arrears on the first business day of January, April, July and October in each year. The 8% preferred stock dividends are to be paid to each holder of 8% preferred stock in cash out of legally available funds. The 8% preferred stock dividends may also be paid in shares of common stock under certain circumstances.

  

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the selling stockholders. However, we may receive up to approximately $3,434,285 in the aggregate upon the exercise of the warrants if the holders exercise them for cash. The registration of common stock pursuant to this prospectus does not necessarily mean that any of those shares will ultimately be offered or sold by the selling stockholders. We intend to use the proceeds received from any cash exercise of the warrants for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

18
 

 

DILUTION

 

We are not selling any of the shares of our common stock or 8% preferred stock in this offering. All of the shares sold in this offering will be held by the selling stockholders at the time of the sale, so that no dilution will result from the sale of the shares.

 

PENNY STOCK CONSIDERATIONS

 

Our common stock will be a penny stock, therefore, trading in our securities is subject to penny stock considerations. Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the SEC.

 

Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system). Penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The broker-dealer must also make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our securities, which could severely limit their market price and liquidity of our securities. These requirements may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect your ability to resell our common stock.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Business Overview

 

We function as a member-based online marketplace for luxury consumer products we source from merchants and offer to our members through our website via a “flash sale” or “daily deal” at deep discounts to retail prices.  In January 2012, our launched our website www.Luxeyard.com and began operations. We launched with the product line of home goods and furniture. On March 27, 2012, we launched LuxeStyle apparel line. Initially, we focused on household furnishings and goods such as furniture, lighting and bedding. We recently expanded into apparel and accessories.   As our member base and merchant selection increase, we expect to expand our offerings to include other consumer goods such as travel, gourmet food and beverages, consumer services events and gift cards.

 

Each week we conduct several “flash sale” events on our website in which we feature merchandise at steep discounts to suggested retail prices.  At the beginning of each event, members receive an email describing the featured products and directing them to our website to participate.  We list events on the member homepage of our website and each event remains on our site for three to five days, depending on demand and quantity offered.

 

In addition to flash sales, we also feature a “Daily Deal” whereby we offer a single product on our website for a 24 hour period.  Similar to flash sales, our members receive email notifications when deals commence, directing them to the member homepage for more details.  Unlike other deal of the day models, members are not required to purchase a minimum number of products before the deal becomes active.  In some cases, when our Group Buy feature is active, as more members participate in the deal, the purchase price decreases.

 

Members purchase products directly through our website via credit card and, in most cases, products ship directly from the merchant’s location to the member.

 

With our Concierge Buying program, we use a model similarly used by companies such as Facebook and Pinterest to determine customer wants. We then source the most popular products and offer those to the members via a sale that features special notifications and discounts for those who contributed to the process.

 

In April we began a Business to Business program through which we source containers of goods and sell them to retailers. The retailers are offered products prior to the arrival of the container shipments and any unsold items from the container shipment are then offered on our website.

 

We operate in an extremely competitive “flash sales” space within internet retail, which has experienced significant growth in the number of flash sales sites over the last 24 months, and in the amount of financial support by major private equity firms. We believe our company can distinguish itself in this environment based on consumer inter-activeness of the site, our dynamic marketing plan, supply chain expertise, and engagement of industry influences through our LuxeLife Trendsetter program. In addition, we are actively exploring strategic acquisitions, geographic expansion (including initiatives in India and Australia), and product line diversification, to position the company for revenue and profitability growth. Our success will depend, among other factors, on the company’s ability to acquire and retain active members in cost-efficient ways, attract merchants at favorable terms, and regularly introduce deals of high value, quality, and relevance to our members.

 

Our Corporate History and Background

 

We incorporated under the laws of the Delaware on December 31, 2007 under name “Top Gear, Inc.” From inception until the closing of the securities exchange (“Securities Exchange”) with LY Retail, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“LY Retail-Texas”) on November 8, 2011, we sought to develop and commercialize a kosher certification service with a goal of becoming a leading kosher food certification organization.  During that time, we had no revenue and our operations were limited to capital formation, organization and development of our business plan.  As a result of the Securities Exchange, we ceased our prior operations and we now operate as an e-commerce marketplace that connects merchants to consumers by offering luxury goods and services at a discount.

 

25
 

 

LY Retail-Texas was organized as a limited liability company under the laws of Texas on April 20, 2011. Immediately prior to the closing of the Securities Exchange, Amir Mireskandari and Khaled Alattar were the members of LY Retail-Texas. 

 

On November 8, 2011 and concurrently with the Securities Exchange transaction, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary under name LY Retail, LLC (“LY Retail-CA”) in the State of California. All of the operating activity of the Company was transferred to LY Retail-CA and LY Retail-Texas ceased all activity.

 

Acquisition of LY Retail-Texas

 

On November 8, 2011, we completed the Securities Exchange whereby we acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of LY Retail-Texas in exchange for 30,349,998 shares of our common stock which shares constituted approximately 52.43% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of and immediately after the consummation of the Securities Exchange. As a result of the Securities Exchange, LY Retail-Texas became our wholly owned subsidiary and Amir Mireskandari and Khaled Alattar became our principal stockholders. The Securities Exchange was treated as a recapitalization effected through a securities exchange, with LY Retail-Texas as the accounting acquirer and the Company the accounting acquiree. 

 

Reorganization and Spin-Out

 

On November 8, 2011 and immediately prior to the Securities Exchange, we (i) entered into a contribution and assumption agreement (the “Contribution and Assumption Agreement”) with TGRE SubCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation formed as our wholly owned subsidiary for the purposes of spinning out the operations of Top Gear, Inc. (“SpinCo”) pursuant to which we contributed all of our assets to SpinCo and SpinCo assumed all of our debts and other liabilities (the “Reorganization”); and (ii) immediately following the Reorganization, we entered into an agreement of sale (the “Agreement of Sale”) with Omri Amos Shalom (“Shalom”) and Akiva Bergman (“Bergman”), our former principal shareholders, pursuant to which we sold to Shalom and Bergman all of our interest in SpinCo in exchange for a total of 119,000,000 shares of our common stock held by Shalom and Bergman (the “Spin-Out”).  The shares of common stock acquired from Shalom and Bergman in the Spin-Out were cancelled following the Securities Exchange.

 

Financing Transactions

 

November 2011 Equity Offering

On November 8, 2011 and immediately following the Securities Exchange, we completed a private offering of units consisting of an aggregate of (i) 3,150,012 shares of our common stock, (ii) Series A warrants to purchase 1,574,998 shares of common stock which have a five-year term and an initial per share exercise price of $0.30, subject to adjustment as described below (the “Series A Warrants”), and (iii) Series B warrants to purchase 1,574,998 shares of common stock which have a five-year term and an initial per share exercise price of $0.60, subject to adjustment as described below (the “Series B Warrants”).  The price per unit was $0.20 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $630,000.  As described below, approximately $217,500 of the Purchase Price was paid via the delivery to the Company of promissory notes previously issued by LY Retail-Texas to certain of its bridge investors (which such investors included the LY Retail-Texas Members).

 

·Subscription Agreement. The units were offered and sold to the subscribers in the offering pursuant to a subscription agreement dated as of November 8, 2011.

 

Exchange of Bridge Notes.  Certain of the subscribers (each, a “Bridge Investor” and collectively the “Bridge Investors”) delivered promissory notes issued by LY Retail-Texas prior to the Securities Exchange (each, a “Bridge Note” and collectively the “Bridge Notes”) as payment of such Bridge Investor’s purchase price for the units.  To the extent the principal amount of a Bridge Investor’s Bridge Note was greater than such Bridge Investor’s purchase price for the units, the Company, on behalf of LY Retail-Texas, paid the remaining principal amount of such Bridge Note from the proceeds of the offering.  Accordingly, Bridge Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $217,500 were exchanged for units in the offering and the Company paid $62,500 of the remaining principal amount of the Bridge Notes to the Bridge Investors out of the proceeds from the offering.  As a result, the Bridge Notes are deemed to be cancelled and are of no further force and effect.

Antidilution Protection.  Subject to certain exceptions, if at any time during the twelve (12) months following the closing of the offering the Company issues or sells shares of its common stock at a price per share less than $0.30 (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction), the Company is required to promptly thereafter issue to each subscriber following such new issuance that number of shares of its common stock equal to the greater of (I) zero and (II) the difference of (i) the quotient of (x) such subscriber’s purchase price divided by (y) the price per share of the new issuance, less (ii) the number of shares of common stock previously issued to such Subscriber pursuant to the Subscription Agreement (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction).

 

·Warrants. The Series A Warrants have a five-year term and are exercisable for an aggregate of 1,574,998 shares of our common stock at an initial per share exercise price of $0.30, subject to adjustment as set forth below.  The Series B Warrants have a five-year term and are exercisable for an aggregate of 1,574,998 shares of our common stock at an initial per share exercise price of $0.60 (the exercise price was reset to $0.30 effective May 1, 2012), subject to certain adjustment, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications, mergers or other corporate changes.  In addition, subject to certain exceptions, if at any time after the closing date, the Company issues or sells any shares of its common stock at a price per share less than the exercise price of the applicable warrant, then immediately after such new issuance, the exercise price of the applicable warrant then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the price per share of such new issuance.  If the warrants are not registered with the Securities Act, the warrants can be exercised on a cashless basis.

 

·Registration Rights Agreement. In connection with offering, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the subscribers granting the subscribers piggy-back registration rights with respect to the shares and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants.

 

·Lock-Up Agreements. In connection with offering, we entered into lock-up agreements with each of Braden Richter, our newly appointed President and Chief Executive Officer and member of our Board of Directors, Kevin Walker, our newly appointed Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Secretary, Jerry Wilkerson, our newly appointed Chief Technology and Information Officer, Joshua Thompson, our newly appointed Chief Marketing Officer, and Khaled Alattar, one of our new principal stockholders, pursuant to which each of them agreed not to transfer any of our capital stock held directly or indirectly by them for an eighteen month period following the closing of the offering.  In addition, we entered into a lock-up/leak-out agreement with Amir Mireskandari, our newly appointed Chairman of our Board of Directors and one of our new principal stockholders, pursuant to which he agreed not to transfer any of our capital stock held directly or indirectly by him for a nine month period following the closing of the offering and for the nine months thereafter to limit any transfers to 850,000 shares of common stock in any 30 day period and 170,000 shares of common stock on any single day.

 

December 2011 Equity Offering

On December 15, 2011 we completed a private offering of units consisting of an aggregate of (i) 2,250,016 shares of our common stock, (ii) Series A Warrants to purchase 1,125,008 shares of our common stock which have a five-year term and an initial per share exercise price of $0.30, subject to adjustment, and (iii) Series B Warrants to purchase 1,125,008 shares of our common stock which have a five-year term and an initial per share exercise price of $0.60 (the exercise price was reset to $0.30 effective May 1, 2012), subject to adjustment.  The price per unit was $0.20 for an aggregate purchase price of $450,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The subscribers are entitled to piggy-back registration rights with respect to the shares and the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants and other similar rights as the offering closed on November 8, 2011.

 

January 2012 Term Note

On January 25, 2012 we borrowed cash in the amount $25,000 from one of our shareholders. The loan bears 10% annual interest and has a maturity of April 20, 2012.  The loan is evidenced by a promissory note. This note was converted to a debenture in the April 2012 financing.

 

27
 

 

Convertible Debentures

 

During the period from January to April, 2012 we entered into several Debenture Purchase Agreements with certain investors whereby we issued and sold to the investors 10% Convertible Debentures which are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.30 per share, subject to adjustment. The conversion price is adjusted downward if, at any period that the debentures are outstanding, the Company issues any additional stock or securities convertible into shares of common stock at a price less than the applicable conversion price. The aggregate original principal amount of all Convertible Debentures is $2,915,000. Based on the aggregate original principal amount sold, the minimum number of common shares we may be required to issue is 9,716,667, which may be increased if we issue common stock at a price less than the applicable conversion price.

 

May 2012 Equity Offering

On May 31, 2012 we completed the sale of units pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated May 24, 2012. The units sold in the offering consisted of an aggregate of (i) 8,904,287 shares of our 8% preferred stock, (ii) Series C warrants to purchase 8,904,287 shares of our common stock which have a five-year term and an initial per share exercise price of $0.50, subject to adjustment, (iii) Series D warrants to purchase up to 4,452,144 shares of common stock which have a 90-day term and an initial per share exercise price of $0.35, subject to adjustment, and (iv) Series E warrants to purchase up to 4,452,143 shares of common stock which have a five-year term and an initial per share exercise price of $0.50, subject to adjustment. The price per unit was $0.35 for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $3,116,500, which includes $225,000 from investors that converted existing debt into the offering. Maxim Group LLC was the placement agent for the offering.

 

Forward Split and Name Change

 

On November 30, 2011, the Board and the shareholders representing more than 50% of our common stock approved a 1:17 forward split and change in the Company’s name. The forward split was declared effective by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, as of February 8, 2012. All share and per share amounts in this prospectus, and in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, reflect the forward split for all periods presented.

 

On January 9, 2012, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to change the corporate name from “Top Gear, Inc.” to “Luxeyard, Inc.” The amendment was effective as of January 9, 2012. In connection with the name change, we have applied for a new trading symbol “LUXR” for the Company’s common stock, which is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Both the name change and symbol change have been approved by FINRA and became effective as of February 13, 2012.

 

Asset Purchase Transaction

 

On February 22, 2012, LY Retail-CA completed an asset purchase of eOpulence, LLC, a New York limited liability Company (“eOpulence”) for an aggregate purchase price consisting of options to purchase 300,000 shares of the common stock of the Company under the Company’s 2012 Stock Option Plan at an exercise price of $0.30 per share. The options were issued to Antonio Lopez, the majority owner of eOpulence. We also entered into a lock-up agreement with Mr. Lopez pursuant to which he agreed not to transfer any of the options, or the common shares received as a result of his exercise of the options, for an eighteen month period following the closing of the transaction.

 

Increase in Authorized Shares

 

Effective May 2, 2012, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to increase the total number of authorized shares from one hundred million (100,000,000) shares of which all were common stock, to five hundred fifty million (550,000,000) shares of which five hundred million (500,000,000) shares shall be common stock, par value $0.0001, and fifty million (50,000,000) shares shall be blank check preferred stock, par value $0.0001. The amendment was declared effective as of May 2, 2012.

Our Service

 

We function as a member-based online marketplace for luxury consumer products. We source from merchants and offer to our members through our website via a “flash sale” or “daily deal” at deep discounts to retail prices.  In January 2012, we launched our website www.Luxeyard.com and began operations.

We recently expanded into apparel and accessories.   As our member base and merchant selection increase, we expect to expand our offerings to include other consumer goods such as travel, gourmet food and beverages, consumer services events and gift cards. On May 1, 2012, we entered into operating agreements with Jaxon International, LLC (Jaxon) and Home Loft, Inc. to operate its Leather Groups (LG) website. Jaxon is a traditional “bricks and mortar” retail location and LG is a retail web site. On August 6, 2012, we entered into a Management Services Agreement with Ferris Holding Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation, DBA “Bari Leather Furniture” (Bari) to operate its Bari Leather Furniture website. Both Bari and Jaxon Management Services Agreements have been since terminated.

 

Each week we conduct several “flash sale” events on our website in which we feature merchandise at steep discounts to suggested retail prices.  At the beginning of each event, members receive an email describing the featured products and directing them to our website to participate.  We list events on the member homepage of our website and each event remains on our site for three to five days, depending on demand and quantity offered.

Members purchase products directly through our website via credit card and, in most cases, products ship directly from the merchant’s location to the member.

 

With our Concierge Buying program, we use a model similar to Facebook and Pinterest to determine what customers want. We then source the most popular products and offer those to the members via a sale that features special notifications and discounts for those who contributed to the process.

 

In April, we began a Business to Business program through which we source containers of goods and sell them to retailers via our business to business website. The retailers are offered products prior to the arrival of the container shipments and any unsold items from the container shipment are then offered on our website. The Business to Business program is operating under the TradeYard dba and offers flash sales to businesses and daily deals to businesses.

 

Over the next twelve months, we anticipate expenses of up to $12.4 million, including general, administrative and corporate expenses and we expect revenue of up to $29.3 million and cost of goods sold of $20.8 million. We anticipate that we will need an additional $4 million in financing in the next twelve months to facilitate our growth. We have implemented cost savings measures to reduce our overhead, including reduction in staff and reduction in facilities. We intend to pursue our strategy of acquiring the targeted companies that will increase our revenue and at the same time reduce our cost of obtaining merchandise because we will be able to obtain greater discounts with larger orders. We will also be able to leverage our infrastructure and obtain economies of scale and replicate our technology across the various verticals. Based on the historical results for LG, combined with the expected growth for our web sales, we expect to be able to execute our business plan.

 

We manage and operate the LeatherGroups web-site.

 

Additionally, we syndicate sales events and product sales with other flash sale and daily deal websites wherein we provide goods to be sold on their websites.

 

Distribution

 

We are distributing our offerings directly to members through email, our website, and social networks.

 

Email .  We send emails containing descriptions of each week’s flash sales and each deal of the day.  Members are able to link directly from the email to the deals on our website to learn more and participate.

 

Websites.   Visitors are prompted to register as a member when they first visit our website and thereafter use the website as a portal to view access and participate in our deals.

 

Social Networks.   We publish our deals through various social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.  Notifications are tailored to the particular format of each social networking platform.

Marketing

 

We have increased our visibility, and are continuing to build our brand and source members through a variety of marketing initiatives, including search engine marketing, directory listing, social media marketing, referral programs and affiliate marketing, “pay per click” programs, news and reviews and email campaigns. We launched an extensive marketing campaign in November, 2011.

 

Search Engine Marketing. We have created an extensive keyword-rich home page and secondary pages to improve search engine rankings. We first initiate an in-depth market analysis from which reveal how the target audience and competitors currently interact online, who the key influencers are, and the ways to connect with our target audience in a transparent non-obtrusive fashion. Then we seek to develop an understanding of how our business model, our target market, our competition, and our specific goals intersect and interact.  This critical business intelligence focuses on current and future trends in our industry. During this intelligence gathering we are also able to specifically identify the underlying nature and extent of our business needs, competition, and desired outcome.  In addition we can identify any concerns we may have in regards to the types of development necessary for our web site, the effect of the marketing on our brand name, when we can expect results, and also allow us to lay the strategic foundation for our ongoing social media marketing, pay per click and link building campaigns.

 

Social Media Marketing.   An effective social media marketing strategy involves strategic business intelligence gathering and a clear understanding of our industry, competitors and target market. Our social media identity and the venues in which we created an extensive presence are readily identified once we have clearly identified our target market and desired marketing approach. We infiltrate various social media venues including but not limited to: social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, trade organizations and associated blogs, RSS directories, discussion boards and forums, news/social aggregate sites, mashups, microblogging, online video and photo sharing, podcasting, product sharing, service sharing, public relations and social media releases, social networks, fan clubs, group applications, widgets, events and Wikipedia, where we develop an extensive network of link building, bookmarking and tagging to our online destination. In the future we will also develop and utilize our internal forum so that our members can review our deals on our website.

 

Link Building and Affiliate Marketing.   We believe that one of the hardest parts of web marketing is building link recognition. Obtaining massive numbers of relevant “referral links” has become one of the central focuses of web marketing strategy. The ideal mixture of link building options are selected to craft a customized link plan made for long run return on investment and high ranking results.

Operations

 

Our business operations are divided into the following core functions:

 

Identification of Luxury Deals

 

Sourcing .  We feature or plan to expand to the following types of products for our website:

 

·Volume Discount Items – From time to time, merchants may have overstocked inventory or production lines that have excess capacity and therefore increase production that can be consumed regularly. These products are mostly cataloged, photography ready and have a market based pricing. We seek discounts of 40-60% of regular wholesale prices with a minimum number of units guaranteed by the merchant; and
·Discontinued Items – This category primarily targets distributors.  Products in this category may include excess inventory, retailer discontinued items and seasonal items.  We contact such vendors seeking to dispose of such items on a mass scale; and
· Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) – We source products with established brands on an OEM basis, with a strong focus on the value proposition and at times exclusive products for our website.

 

Sourcing Process.  The process of sourcing our offerings includes the following:

 

· Vendor Negotiations – Our team of buyers negotiates price reductions to regular wholesale prices based on commitments for product depth.  We do not offer products unless merchants are committed to significant price discounts.
·Securing Product – Vendors commit to availability of product when a product is featured. We verify and confirm allocation or availability of products before featuring the product in a deal.
·Price Comparisons – Our sourcing groups canvas retail and internet suppliers for price comparisons for similar products.  We do not offer products unless there is a substantial discount to similar products.
·Vendor Agreements – Vendor agreements play a crucial role in our business model. We leverage our group buying power to obtain extremely discounted pricing on luxury items. We obtain agreements with our vendors before featuring the vendor’s products on our website. We do not enter into formal agreements with our vendors. Instead, we intend to source products through individual purchase orders.

 

The E-Commerce Platform

 

We post deals on our website, via email and on social network websites. Daily deals are automatically sent to our members, “tweeted” to our Twitter account, and posted to our Facebook page.

 

Logistics & Shipping

 

Almost all items sold on our website are shipped directly from vendors to our member customers. We coordinate deliveries through package and “less than truckload” (LTL) delivery companies to achieve savings in rates for our members. Our member care department coordinates and monitors shipments from vendors to member customers. Members are able to track shipments through our website. We also purchase containers of goods directly from manufactures and warehouse and ship these goods ourselves.

 

Customer Service

 

We have a dedicated member care group with two primary functions. One is to answer questions about products, procedures and our business philosophy.  In addition, our member care group monitors shipments, delivery problems and handles other aspects of post purchase issues that arise.  All customer returns are sent directly to suppliers.  Member Care and Finance coordinate this process.

Competition

 

In the past few years, the number of group buying sites has grown rapidly. The markets for the products that we offer are very competitive, are rapidly evolving and have relatively low barriers to entry. In addition to other online retailers, we compete with the physical stores, catalogs and websites of traditional offline retailers. Competition may increase in the future, which could require us to reduce prices, increase advertising expenditures or take other actions that may have an adverse effect on our operating results. We believe that competition in our market is based predominantly on:

 

·price;
·brand recognition;
·product selection;
·product availability;
·ease-of-use of website; and
·order delivery performance and customer service.

 

We compete with a variety of group buying websites such as GroupOn.com, Gilte.com, OneKingsLane.com and Woot.com.  In addition we compete with multi-category retailers such as Google.com, Amazon.com, Overstock.com and Wal-Mart and specialty retailers or manufacturers. Many of our competitors have greater brand recognition, longer operating histories, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. New technologies and the continued enhancement of existing technologies also may increase competitive pressures on our company.

 

We compete not only for members, but also for favorable merchant selection and product allocations. Some of our competitors could enter into exclusive distribution arrangements with our merchants and deny us access to their products, devote greater resources to marketing and promotional campaigns and devote substantially more resources to their website and systems development than us. In addition, some merchants whose products are offered on our website may also sell their products directly to end-users.

 

We believe that we enjoy the following competitive advantages:

 

· Our management team has a proven record of success in launching internet startups and a successful experience in the home furnishings industry.  Braden Richter, our President and Chief Executive Officer, has been an entrepreneur for over twenty-five years.  We believe his knowledge of design and sales strategy gleaned from previous experience with leading U.S. furniture retailers help us gain success in the luxury group-buying markets and in our negotiations with merchants.
· We provide deeper discounts by delivering higher sales volume to merchants, thereby lowering prices for our members.  We negotiate merchandise prices based on purchase or closeout volume and opportunity buys. Sourcing is price sensitive and low mark-up margins are strictly enforced, so that members are benefit from low prices on our products.
·We position our brand as a luxury website and offer products on an “exclusive” or “limited” basis which we believe makes providers of high-end products more comfortable in featuring their products on our website at reduced prices.
· To maximize sales and ensure positive cash flow, we leverage viral digital media marketing avenues with a particular emphasis on the social aspect of group buying.

 

Strategic Alliance

 

On April 16, 2012, we announced a strategic alliance with buyinvite, one of Australia's premier members-only private sale sites.  Our two companies launched joint sales events featuring each other's respective brands to a collective audience of over two million members.  buyinvite is one of Australia's leading flash retail websites with over 1.2 million members throughout Australia and New Zealand. It is the only 100 percent Australian owned and operated shopping club.

 

For Luxeyard, the partnership represents an international sales channel that extends its distribution to a new, scalable consumer marketplace. Under the agreement, buyinvite operates sales featuring products from Luxeyard, exposing its members to a wide range of U.S. designer apparel, accessories and home furnishings.

Government Regulation

 

We are subject to a number of laws and regulations that affect companies generally and specifically those conducting business on the internet, many of which are still evolving and could be interpreted in ways that could harm our business.  Existing and future laws and regulations may impede our growth. These regulations and laws may cover taxation, privacy, data protection, pricing, content, copyrights, distribution, mobile communications, electronic contracts and other communications, consumer protection, web services, the provision of online payment services, unencumbered internet access to our services, the design and operation of websites, and the characteristics and quality of products and services. It is not clear how existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, libel, and personal privacy apply to the internet, e-commerce, digital content and web services. Unfavorable regulations and laws could diminish the demand for our products and services and increase our cost of doing business.

We rely on various intellectual property laws and contractual restrictions to protect our proprietary rights in products and services. We have acquired and registered our domain names with regulatory bodies in an effort to protect these intellectual property rights. It is our policy to enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees and contractors and nondisclosure agreements with our suppliers and strategic partners in order to limit access to and disclosure of our proprietary information. We cannot assure you that these contractual arrangements or the other steps taken by us to protect our intellectual property will prove sufficient to prevent misappropriation of our technology or to deter independent third-party development of similar technologies.

 

We do not have any trademarks as of the date of this prospectus.

 

Employees

 

As of February 2013, we had 12 full-time employees. From time to time, we may hire additional workers on a contract basis as the need arises.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

On May 2, 2012, the Company and Pacific Capital Group, Inc. (“PCG”) executed a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) that contemplates PCG providing consulting services to the Company in exchange for an option to purchase shares of the Company.  In subsequent discussions and email correspondence, the parties have considered various quantities of shares to be subject to purchase by PCG, and the most recent amount under consideration was 2,000,000.  In emails between the Company and PCG, both parties have discussed whether “the deal is dead” without an investment from PCG and, to date, the parties have not resolved the number of shares PCG is eligible to purchase.  Accordingly, there are outstanding, unresolved disputes between the parties with respect to the MOU related to: (i) whether the MOU constitutes a binding agreement and, if so, (ii) the number of option shares, if any, subject to the MOU, and (iii) the scope of PCG’s consulting services contemplated by the MOU.

 

On September 24, 2012, the Company received $1,500,000 in connection with the settlement of a lawsuit filed by the Company and Amir Mireskandari, the chairman of the Board of Directors and interim CEO, against certain shareholders of the Company on August 23, 2012 in the US District Court by the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division.

 

On September 18, 2012, Khaled Alattar filed suit against the Company in the District Court of Harris County, Texas. The Company was joined in the lawsuit by other defendants.  The defendants in the action include various persons or entities who plaintiff alleges aided in fraud against the plaintiff.  The plaintiff alleges that the defendants unlawfully “pumped” the Company’s stock and then “dumped” the Company’s unrestricted stock.  Plaintiff seeks actual damages, exemplary damages, disgorgement of profits, attorney’s fees, and other litigation costs.  The Company believes that the case is without merit and intends to defend it vigorously.

  

On October 12, 2012, Jinsun, LLC filed suit against LuxeYard Chairman and interim Chief Executive Officer, Amir Mireskandari in the 157th District Court of Harris County, Texas for breach of contract.  Jinsun seeks damages for Mr. Mireskandari’s alleged breach of the Company’s Lock-up and Lock-out Agreements.  Plaintiff claims loss in value to the Company’s stock and financing ability.  On November 12, 2012, Mr. Mireskandari filed an answer to the complaint and counterclaim against Jinsun for breach of contract and attorneys’ fees for a groundless suit.

 

On October 23, 2012, XL Marketing Corp. filed suit against the Company in the New York State Supreme Court, alleging breach of contract and seeking damages in the amount of $201,000 (including interest and attorneys’ fees) in unpaid invoices. The Company believes that the case is without merit and intends to defend it vigorously.

 

On November 9, 2012, the Company filed suit in the 127th District Court of Harris County, Texas against the Company’s former CEO, Braden Richter, his wife, Victoria Richter, and the Richters’ furniture store, Jaxon International, LLC.  This proceeding stemmed from Mr. Richter’s alleged conspiracy with defendants in a prior suit during the parties’ settlement negotiations in Texas, and breach of fiduciary duties in his handling of the Jaxon related-party transaction during his time as CEO of the Company.  The complaint also alleges conspiracy between the defendants.  The Company seeks damages in an amount exceeding $500,000.

 

On November 13, 2012, LY Retail, LLC (California), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, filed suit in Los Angeles Superior Court against Ferris Holding Co. dba Bari Leather Furniture (“Bari”), Lou Ferris, Tom Tilaro, Braden Richter, Victoria Richter, Jaxon International, LLC, Bryan Semmens, First Data Merchant Services Corp., and Banc of America Merchant Services, LLC for breach of contract, fraud, conspiracy, among other claims.  This case stems from a breach of the management services agreement between the Company and Bari, and other defendants’ conspiracy to convert Company funds.  The Company seeks damages in an amount exceeding $600,000.

 

On December 18, 2012, the Company and LY Retail, LLC (California), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, filed suit in Los Angeles Superior Court against Braden Richter, Victoria Richter, and Jaxon International, LLC (“Jaxon”) for fraud, conspiracy, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, among other claims. The case stems from Jaxon’s breach of the management services agreement between the Company and Jaxon, and our former CEO, Braden Richter and the other defendants’ fraud and breach of fiduciary duties stemming from this related-party transaction.

 

On December 27, 2012, an Involuntary Petition for bankruptcy, entitled In re Luxeyard, Inc. (Case No. 12-bk-51986-BR), was filed against the Company by three creditors of the Company. The petition was filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California. The date that jurisdiction was assumed was December 27, 2012. The Petitioners have claimed that they have debts totaling $66,220.

 

The Company believes that the Petitioners’ claims are without merit, fraudulent and unsubstantiated, brought in bad faith by friends and business associates of our previous CEO, Mr. Braden Richter, who was terminated for cause. The Company intends to aggressively contest the involuntary bankruptcy petition and will pursue all available grounds for dismissal.

 

The Company had filed suit against Defendant Kevan Casey and his associates for manipulation of the Company’s stock price. The Company has strong evidence showing that some of these defendants were working and continue to work with Mr. Richter. Mr. Richter was terminated for cause on October 23, 2012 stemming from this conspiracy and other violations of his duties as CEO. Subsequently, the Board of Director’s investigation revealed that Mr. Richter had filed a personal Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition in 2006 and received a discharge of more than $80 million in debt in 2007. The investigation also revealed that Mr. Richter conspired with his wife, Victoria Richter, to defraud the Company. Mr. and Mrs. Richter, through their company, Jaxon International, LLC, received a $308,000 loan from the Company and refused to pay it back. The Company then filed suit against Mr. and Mrs. Richter on December 18, 2012 for fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, conspiracy, and conversion, among other causes of action, in Los Angeles Superior Court (case no. BC497730).

 

The involuntary petition was filed against the Company by a business associate of Mr. Richter, Mr. Philip Ison of Ison Furniture, LLC, who has falsified a $16,000 claim against the Company, and has included another of his associated companies, based overseas, which has no colorable claim against the Company. Mr. Richter and Mr. Ison engineered this petition despite Mr. Ison’s withholding from LuxeYard over $100,000 worth of the Company’s inventory which currently remains in his possession and that he is refusing to release.

 

The Company strongly believes this is an attempt by Mr. Richter, who has stated that he has a business affiliation with Mr. Casey and Mr. Ison, to harm the Company. LuxeYard has pending litigation against the aforementioned parties and is confident that it will prevail against these fraudulent attempts to ruin LuxeYard before its legitimate claims against Mr. Richter and related parties can be brought to light.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, as well as for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, and should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Registration Statement.

 

Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the Risk Factors, Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Business sections in this Registration Statement. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.

 

Overview

 

We function as an online marketplace for luxury consumer products. We source from merchants and offer products to our members through our website via a “flash sale” or “daily deal” at deep discounts to retail prices.  In January 2012, we launched our website www.LuxeYard.com and began operations. We launched with the product line of home goods and furniture. On March 27, 2012, we launched our LuxeStyle vertical, consisting of apparel lines. Initially, we focused on household furnishings and goods such as furniture, lighting and bedding. As our member base and merchant selection increase, we expect to expand our offerings to include other consumer goods such as travel, gourmet food and beverages, consumer services events and gift cards. On May 1, 2012, we entered into operating agreements with Jaxon International, LLC (Jaxon) and Home Loft, Inc. to operate its Leather Groups (LG) website. Jaxon is a traditional “brick and mortar” retail location and LG is a retail web site. Subsequent to September 30, 2012, the operating agreement with Jaxon was terminated. On August 6, 2012, we entered into a Management Services Agreement with Ferris Holding Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation, DBA “Bari Leather Furniture” (Bari) to operate its Bari Leather Furniture website. Effective September 27, 2012, the operating agreement with Ferris Holding Company, Inc. was also terminated.

 

Each week we conduct several “flash sale” events on our website in which we feature merchandise at steep discounts to suggested retail prices.  At the beginning of each event, members receive an email describing the featured products and directing them to our website to participate.  We list events on the member homepage of our website and each event remains on our site for three days or longer, depending on demand and quantity offered. We also offer products in “static” events, which are available for sale until our inventory is depleted.

 

In addition to flash sales, we also feature a “Daily Deal” whereby we offer a single product on our website for a 24 hour period.  Similar to flash sales, our members receive email notifications when deals commence, directing them to the member homepage for more details.  Unlike other deal of the day models, members are not required to purchase a minimum number of products before the deal becomes active.  In some cases, when our Group Buy feature is active, as more members participate in the deal, the purchase price decreases.

 

Members purchase products directly through our website via credit card and, in most cases, products ship directly from the merchant’s location to the member.

 

With our Concierge Buying program, we use a platform similar to Facebook and Pinterest to determine what items are in high demand by our customers. We then source the most popular products and offer those items to or members via a sale that features special notifications and discounts for those who contributed to the process.

 

In April, we began a business-to-business program through which we source containers of goods and sell them to retailers via our business-to-business website [TradeYardUSA.com]. The retailers are offered products prior to the arrival of the container shipments and any unsold items from the container shipment are then offered on our website. The business-to-business program is operating under the TradeYard dba and offers flash sales to businesses and daily deals to businesses.

 

We manage the LeatherGroups web-site [LeatherGroups.com]. We also have syndicate sales events and product sales with other flash sale and daily deal websites wherein we provide goods to be sold on their websites.

Recent Developments

 

Financing

 

We raised approximately $1,080,000 in gross proceeds in 2011 from two separate offerings. In addition, Bridge Notes in the principal amount of approximately $217,500 were exchanged for units in the offering and $62,500 in Bridge Notes was paid out of the proceeds of the offering.

 

In 2012, we have raised approximately $2,915,000 in debentures and raised $3,116,500 from securities units offering (the “offering”). This amount includes Bridge Notes in the amounts of $225,000 exchanged for units in the offering. Gross proceeds from the offering were $2,891,500.  Accordingly, we had $5,806,500 in actual gross proceeds from the debentures and offering after deducting the principal amount of Bridge Notes exchanged at the closing of the offering, but before deducting any expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the offering.

 

Debentures

 

During the period from January to April 2012, we entered into certain Debenture Purchase Agreements (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain investors (the “Holder” or “Holders”) whereby we issued and sold to the Holders certain 10% Convertible Debentures which are convertible into shares of our common stock (collectively, the “Notes”), $0.0001 par value per share (the “Shares”), at a conversion price of $0.30 per share, subject to adjustment. The aggregate original principal amount of all Notes is $2,915,000. Based on the aggregate original principal amount sold by the Company, the minimum Shares we may be required to issue is 9,716,667.

 

Securities

 

On May 24, 2012, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with several investors whereby the Company sold units consisting of (i) 8,904,287 shares of its 8% Convertible Preferred Stock common stock (the “Shares”), (ii) Series C warrants to purchase 8,904,287 shares of its common stock which have a five-year term and an initial per share exercise price of $0.50, subject to adjustment (the “Series C Warrants”), (iii) Series D warrants to purchase 4,452,144 shares of common stock which have a 90 day term from the effectiveness of the Form S-1 filed with the SEC on June 18, 2012 and an initial per share exercise price of $0.35, subject to adjustment (the “Series D Warrants”), and (iv) 4,452,143 Series E warrants which have a five-year term and an initial per share exercise price of $0.50, subject to adjustment and exercise of the Series D Warrants (the “Series E Warrants”). The price per unit was $0.35 for an aggregate purchase price of $3,116,500.

 

Increase in Authorized Shares

 

Effective May 2, 2012, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to increase the total number of authorized shares to five hundred fifty million (550,000,000) shares of which five hundred million (500,000,000) shares shall be common stock, par value $0.0001, and fifty million (50,000,000) shares shall be blank check preferred stock, par value $0.0001. The Amendment was declared effective as of May 2, 2012.

 

Operating Agreements

 

On May 1, 2012, the Company entered into an operating agreement with Jaxon International, LLC, a California Limited Liability Company (“Jaxon”). Jaxon is owned by the wife of the Company’s CEO and Director. Subsequent to September 30, 2012, the operating agreement with Jaxon was terminated.

 

On May 1, 2012, the Company entered into an operating agreement with HomeLoft, Inc. to operate its LeatherGroups (LG) web site. HomeLoft is owned by the Company’s Chief Operating Officer.

 

On August 6, 2012 the Company entered a Management Services Agreement with Ferris Holding Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation, DBA “Bari Leather Furniture” (Bari) to operate its Bari Leather Furniture website. Effective September 27, 2012, the operating agreement with Ferris Holding Company, Inc. was terminated.

 

Our Business

 

We have successfully launched our web site and our home furnishings and apparel divisions. Additionally, we have experienced growth in membership, which were 732,149 on November 15, 2012. We are focused on strengthening our relationships with vendors/suppliers and forming strategic alliances with other web-based merchants who act as distribution partners. During the next twelve months, we expect to take the following steps in connection with the further development of our business and the implementation of our plan of operations::

 

·Continue scaling our marketing campaign to attract a high volume of quality members to our website. Marketing initiatives consist of search engine optimization, social media marketing, referral and affiliate marketing programs, pay-per-click search and display advertising and public relations;
·Expand upon our member relations and communication activities, with email retention and activation campaigns, additional editorial content and Celebrity Trendsetter involvement that will increase our site traffic and build our brand;
·Continue to improve upon the ability for our website to deliver a high-quality consumer ecommerce experience, the hallmark of which is access to luxury products at affordable prices for our members;
·Identify and partner with more merchants whose products we want to feature on our website.  We believe featuring a variety of merchants makes our marketplace more attractive to members;
·Expand our product offering to include additional vertical market segments, which may include travel, gourmet food and beverages, consumer services, events and gift cards;

 

37
 

 

·Establish new domestic and international syndication partnerships with companies whose existing customer base can extend the distribution of our products;
· Build on the momentum of our Concierge Buying and Group Buy features, which currently differentiate us and we believe hold tremendous value as consumers increasingly leverage their collective buying power to identify, share and pay for products at the intersection of social, mobile and ecommerce technologies;
· Expand our business-to-business operation into a key market differentiator and one that will scale on the basis of our ability to source products for thousands of smaller vendors and
   

Expand our buying power with the addition of like-kind website alliances through operating agreements and/or acquisitions.

 

As two of the operational agreements we entered into were terminated, our revenue decreased and our projected growth has declined. Over the next twelve months, we expect to grow steadily while improving profitability. We anticipate that we will need additional financing in the next twelve months to improve operations and facilitate our growth. We have implemented cost savings measures to reduce our overhead, including reduction in staff and reduction in facilities. We intend to pursue our strategy of establishing alliances through operating agreements and/or acquisitions with the targeted companies that will increase our revenue and at the same time reduce our cost of obtaining merchandise because we will be able to obtain greater discounts with larger orders. We will also be able to leverage our infrastructure and obtain economies of scale and replicate our technology across the various verticals. 

 

Results of Operations

 

Results of Operations for the Nine Month Ended September 30, 2012

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we had revenues of $1,435,433 compared to revenue of $0 for the period from inception to September 30, 2011. For the three month period ended September, 30, 2012 our revenue was $574,381 representing a 19% quarter-to-quarter decrease. The decrease is mainly brought about by the termination of our operating agreements with Jaxon and Ferris Holding Company and our decreased sales from our website in the third quarter. Our net profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $6,020,384 and for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 was $3,402,370 compared to a $47,544 loss for the period from inception to September 30, 2011. The income was primarily from a gain on our complex derivatives of $19,361,166 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 and a gain of $5,862,241 for the three month period ended September 30, 2012. These gains were triggered by a drop in the market value of our common shares. Operating loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 was $13,289,725 and for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 was $3,613,370. A contributing factor to this loss was the fair market value of the 343,894 restricted shares issued for services provided by our CEO and various vendors in the amount of $98,049 and 5,752,072 restricted shares valuing $5,867,967 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. Our other significant expenses were payroll of $1 Million for the three month and $2.3 Million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and marketing of $141,000 for the three month and $717,055 for nine month periods ended September 30, 2012. As of September 30, 2012, we had total current assets of $802,922 and total current liabilities of $5,710,245 compared to total current assets of $326,842 and total current liabilities of $390,091 at December 31, 2011.

  

The Company recognized revenue and cost of goods sold for operating the Jaxon retail store. The Company paid a monthly overhead allocation of $45,000 to cover Jason’s fixed operating expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded $457,968 of sales and $236,944 of cost of goods sold for the Jaxon store. An overhead allocation of $180,000 was paid to Jaxon during the period.

 

The Company paid a $50,000 non-refundable deposit to HomeLoft. For operating the HomeLoft’s Leathergroups.com website, the Company receives all of the revenue for products that it sells and recognizes the costs of goods sold. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded $172,067 of sales and $47,720 of cost of goods sold for Leathergroups.

 

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2011

 

We have conducted minimal operations during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and we have generated revenues of $2,038 during this period.  We had net losses of $1,038,447 for fiscal 2011. Our auditor has expressed doubt as to whether we are able to continue to operate as going concern due to the fact that we have had limited revenues since inception and will need to raise capital to further our operations.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2012 we had cash of $448,474 compared to cash of $154,400, on December 31, 2011. Our primary uses of cash were for marketing expenses, employee compensation, and working capital. The main sources of cash were from the proceeds from the private offering of its securities, from the issuances of debt in the form of debentures and from the settlement of a lawsuit filed by the Company and Amir Mireskandari, the chairman of the Board of Directors (Mireskandari v. Gann), against certain shareholders of the Company. The following trends are reasonably likely to result in a material decrease in our liquidity over the near to long term:

 

38
 

 

¨An increase in working capital requirements,
¨Our plans to acquire additional web-sites and compatible businesses
¨Infrastructure Improvements
¨Addition of administrative and sales personnel as the business grows,
¨Increases in advertising, public relations and sales promotions as we commence operations,
¨Development of new members and market initiation, and
¨The cost of being a public company and the continued increase in costs due to governmental compliance activities.

 

The following summarizes the key components of the Company’s cash flows for the nine months 2012 and for fiscal 2011:

 

    Nine Months 
Ended 
September 30,
2012
    For the 
Period from 
April 20
(Inception) to 
September 30,
2011
 
Cash flows used in operating activities   $ (5,311,048 )   $ (34,933 )
Cash flows used in investing activities     (362,603 )     (1,774 )
Cash flows from financing activities     5,967,725       120,000  
                 
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents   $ 294,074     $ 83,293  

 

We plan to fund our activities during the fiscal 2012 and beyond through the sale of debt or equity securities or bank financing. We are subject to certain restrictions under the terms of the private placements that closed in 2011 and 2012 which could affect our ability to obtain additional financing. We cannot be certain that such funding will be available on acceptable terms or available at all. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing debt or equity securities or through bank financing, our stockholders may experience significant dilution. If we are unable to raise funds when required or on acceptable terms, we may have to significantly scale back, or discontinue, our operations. 

  

Going Concern

 

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. As of September 30, 2012, we have generated minimal revenues since inception.  We expect to finance our operations primarily through our existing cash, our operations and any future financing.  However, there exists substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern because we will be required to obtain additional capital in the future to continue our operations and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain such capital, through equity or debt financing, or any combination thereof, or on satisfactory terms or at all. Additionally, no assurance can be given that any such financing, if obtained, will be adequate to meet our capital needs. If adequate capital cannot be obtained on a timely basis and on satisfactory terms, our operations would be materially negatively impacted. Therefore, there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to complete additional offerings is dependent on the state of the debt and/or equity markets at the time of any proposed offering, and such market’s reception of the Company and the offering terms. There is no assurance that capital in any form would be available to us, and if available, on terms and conditions that are acceptable.

 

Our business is capital intensive. Our ability to grow is dependent upon favorably obtaining outside capital and generating cash flows from operating activities necessary to fund our investment activities. There is no assurance that we will be able to achieve profitability. Since our future operations will continue to be dependent on successful execution of our business plan and our acquisition activities and our ability to seek and secure capital from external sources, should we be unable to achieve sustainable profitability this could cause any equity investment in the Company to decline in value.

 

39
 

 

Major sources of funds in the past for us have included the debt or equity markets. While we have achieved a significant increase in our Gross Margin from the flash web site and from our Management Services Agreements, we do not have positive cash flow. We will have to rely on these capital markets to fund future operations and growth. Our business model is focused on acquiring LeatherGroups and other verticals as well as retail sales from our web-site and wholesale sales generated by TradeYard. Our ability to generate future revenues and operating cash flow will depend on successful retail and wholesale sales and the ability to execute our business plan, which will require us to continue to raise equity or debt capital from outside sources.

 

The Company has ongoing capital commitments to acquire LeatherGroups subject to their underlying terms. Subject to the Company’s due diligence investigation of LG and its online business and subject to the parties’ negotiations and execution of a definitive agreement, the Company has capital commitments to acquire LG for $250,000 cash to be paid over four months, and 350,000 options to purchase shares of LuxeYard common stock and the amount of options equal to the quotient of $122,500 divided by the difference between the average closing market stock price of LuxeYard, Inc. common shares during the five trading days immediately prior to the transaction closing, and $0.35. Failure to meet such ongoing commitments may result in the loss of the ability to make this acquisition. This ongoing commitment may also cause us to seek additional capital from sources outside of the Company. The current uncertainty in the credit and capital markets, and the economic downturn, may restrict our ability to obtain needed capital.

 

In the current fiscal year, we continue to seek additional financing for our planned development and growth activities. We obtain financing through various methods, including issuing debt securities, equity securities, bank debt, or combinations of these instruments which could result in dilution to existing security holders and increased debt and leverage. No assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain funding under any loan commitments or any additional financing on favorable terms, if at all.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Use of Estimates

 

The financial statements are prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and expenses for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2012 and the period from inception to September 30, 2011. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.  

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Most of our vendor relationships follow a traditional retail model and only do revenue sharing in a small segment of apparel sales. We recognize revenue from product sales when the following four criteria are met: pervasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

We provide all customer care and support for the merchandise sold on our website and we are not acting as agents for the vendors. Our members have a relationship only with us and we are responsible for fulfillment and customer satisfaction. We have traditional merchant-vendor relationships with our vendors and are not acting as their agent.

 

Product sales represent revenue from the sale of products and related shipping fees where we are the seller of record. Product sales and shipping revenues, net of promotional discounts, rebates, and return allowances, are recorded when the products are shipped and title passes to customers. Retail sales to customers are made pursuant to a sales contract that provides for transfer of both title and risk of loss upon our delivery to the carrier.

 

We record and report revenue on the gross amount billed to customers when the following indicators are met:

 

·    we are the primary obligor in the transaction

·    we are subject to inventory risk and credit risk for amount billed to the customer

·    we have latitude in establishing prices and selecting suppliers

 

If we have a revenue sharing arrangement with a vendor, that sale is recorded net of the vendors share.

 

40
 

 

Deferred Revenue

 

Deferred revenue represents all payments received from customers in excess of revenue earned based on money received for products that have not shipped.

 

Refunds

 

At the end of the accounting period, we record an allowance for estimated customer refunds. We accrue costs associated with refunds in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets. The cost of refunds where the amount payable to the merchant is recoverable is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as a reduction to revenue.

 

Inventories 

 

Inventories, consisting of products available for sale, are primarily accounted for using the first-in first-out (“FIFO”) method, and are valued at the lower of cost or market value. This valuation requires us to make judgments, based on currently-available information about likely method of disposition, such as through sales to individual customers, returns to product vendors, or liquidations, and expected recoverable values of each disposition category

 

Income Taxes

 

We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. Significant judgment is required in evaluating our tax positions and determining our provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. For example, our effective tax rate could be adversely affected by earnings being lower than anticipated in countries where we have lower statutory rates and higher than anticipated in countries where we have higher statutory rates, by changes in foreign currency exchange rates, by changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, or by changes in the relevant tax, accounting and other laws, regulations, principles and interpretations.

 

We are subject to audit in various jurisdictions, and such jurisdictions may assess additional income tax against us. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, the final determination of any tax audits and any related litigation could be materially different from historical income tax provisions and accruals. The results of an audit or litigation could have a material effect on our operating results or cash flows in the period or periods for which that determination is made.

 

We account for income taxes using the liability method, under which deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized based upon anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. We regularly review deferred tax assets to assess their potential realization and establish a valuation allowance for portions of such assets to reduce the carrying value if we do not consider it to be more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

 

Stock Options

 

We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The determination of the grant date fair value of options using an option-pricing model is affected by our estimated common stock fair value as well as assumptions regarding a number of other complex and subjective variables. These variables include the fair value of our common stock, our expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the options, stock option exercise and cancellation behaviors, risk-free interest rates, and expected dividends, which are estimated as follows:

 

· Fair Value of Our Common Stock.   Prior to our reverse merger in November 2011 and subsequent stock split in February 2012, our stock had been publicly traded but with the business model of the predecessor company, Top Gear, Inc. Accordingly, until we began operations as Luxeyard, Inc. We estimated the fair value of common stock as discussed in "Common Stock Valuations" below.

 

· Expected Term.   The expected term represents the period of time the stock options are expected to be outstanding and is based on the "simplified method" allowed under SEC guidance. We used the "simplified method" due to the lack of sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to otherwise estimate the expected life of the stock options.

 

· Volatility.   Because prior to our reverse merger in November 2011 and subsequent stock split in February 2012, our stock had been publicly traded but with the business model of the predecessor company, Top Gear, Inc., the expected stock price volatility was estimated by taking the average historic price volatility for publicly-traded options of comparable industry peers similar in size, stage of life cycle and financial leverage, based on daily price observations over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. We did not rely on implied volatilities of traded options in our industry peers' common stock because the volume of activity was relatively low. We intend to continue to consistently apply this process using the same or similar public companies until a sufficient amount of historical information regarding the volatility of our own common stock share price becomes available, or unless circumstances change such that the identified companies are no longer similar to us, in which case, more suitable companies whose share prices are publicly available would be utilized in the calculation.

 

41
 

 

· Risk-free Interest Rate.   The risk-free interest rate is based on the yields of U.S. Treasury securities with maturities similar to the expected term of the options for each option group.

 

· Dividend Yield.   We do not presently plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, we used an expected dividend yield of zero.

 

If any of the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton model changes significantly, stock-based compensation for future awards may differ materially compared with the awards granted previously.

 

Common Stock Valuation

 

The fair value of the common stock underlying our stock options was determined by our board of directors, or the Board, which intended that all options granted were exercisable at a price per share not less than the per share fair value of our common stock underlying those options on the date of grant. The assumptions we use in the valuation model are based on future expectations combined with management judgment. In the absence of a public trading market prior to our initial public offering in November 2011, the Board, with input from management, exercised significant judgment and considered numerous objective and subjective factors to determine the fair value of our common stock as of the date of each option grant, including the following factors:

 

the prices, rights, preferences and privileges of our preferred stock relative to the common stock;
the prices of our preferred stock sold to outside investors in arms-length transactions;
our operating and financial performance;
current business conditions and projections;
the hiring of key personnel;
the history of our company and the introduction of new products and services;
our stage of development;
the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event for the shares of common stock underlying these stock options, such as an initial public offering or sale of our company, given prevailing market conditions;
any adjustment necessary to recognize a lack of marketability for our common stock;
the market performance of comparable publicly-traded companies; and
the U.S. and global capital market conditions.

 

Derivative and Fair Value

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Financial instruments are recorded at fair value in accordance with the standard for “Fair Value Measurements codified within ASC 820.” Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 -Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 -Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3 -Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

 

The Company has derivative instruments, in the form of warrants and embedded conversion options, that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs.

 

42
 

 

Other Estimates

 

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, accounts receivable – related party, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and convertible debentures approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We consider cash on hand and demand deposits with original maturities of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.

 

43
 

 

Share-Based Payments

 

The Company accounts for share-based awards to employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718 “Stock Compensation”. Under this guidance, stock compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite employee service period (generally the vesting period). The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payments using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

Share-based awards to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with ASC 505-50, wherein such awards are expensed over the period in which the related services are rendered at their fair value.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, sales or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to an investment in our securities.

 

Management Consideration of Alternative Business Strategies

 

In order to continue to protect and increase shareholder value management believes that it may, from time to time, consider alternative management strategies to create value for the company or additional revenues.  Strategies to be reviewed may include acquisitions; roll-ups; strategic alliances; joint ventures on large projects; and/or mergers.

 

Management will only consider these options where it believes the result would be to increase shareholder value while continuing the viability of the company.

Director Compensation

Management directors are not compensated for their service as directors; however they may receive compensation for their services as employees of the Company.

2012 Stock Option Plan

 

On February 24, 2012, the Board and majority shareholders of the Company approved the Luxeyard, Inc. 2012 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan gives us the ability to grant stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights (SARs), and other stock-based awards (collectively, “Awards”) to employees or consultants of the Company or of any subsidiary of the Company and to non-employee members of our advisory board or our Board of Directors or the board of directors of any of our subsidiaries. Our Board of Directors believes that adoption of the Plan is in the best interests of our company and our stockholders because the ability to grant stock options and make other stock-based awards under the Plan is an important factor in attracting, stimulating and retaining qualified and distinguished personnel with proven ability and vision to serve as employees, officers, consultants or members of the Board of Directors of our company and our subsidiaries, and to chart our course towards continued growth and financial success. Therefore, our Board of Directors believes the Plan will be a key component of our compensation program.

 

As of September 30, 2012, 2,508,547 shares of our common stock remained available for future grants under the Plan.

Our authorized capital stock consists of 500,000,000 shares of common stock at a par value of $0.0001 per share and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock at a par value of $0.0001 per share, of which 10,000,000 is designated as 8% Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock. As of January 24, 2013, 81,059,895 shares of our common stock and 8,904,287 shares of our 8% preferred stock were issued and outstanding.

 

Common Stock

 

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Our common stock does not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of our common stock representing a majority of the voting power of our capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of our stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our certificate of incorporation. Although there are no provisions in our charter or by-laws that may delay, defer or prevent a change in control, the board of directors is authorized, without shareholder approval, to issue shares of preferred stock that may contain rights or restrictions that could have this effect. Holders of common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. Holders of our common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Our certificate of incorporation provides that we are authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Our Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue from time to time the preferred stock in one or more series for such consideration and with such relative rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions that the board may determine. The preferences, powers, rights and restrictions of different series of preferred stock may differ with respect to dividend rates, amounts payable on liquidation, voting rights, conversion rights, redemption provisions, sinking fund provisions and purchase funds and other matters. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock.

 

8% Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock

 

On May 25, 2012, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Designation (the “Certificate”) establishing the voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights of the 8% preferred stock.

 

Dividends. Each holder of Shares is entitled to receive dividends at the rate of eight percent per year of the original issue price of $0.35 per share, as adjusted for any combinations, consolidations, recapitalizations, reorganizations, reclassifications, stock distributions, stock dividends (other than any dividend paid on the 8% Convertible Preferred Stock) or splits. The 8% preferred stock dividends are cumulative, whether or not earned or declared, and are to be paid quarterly. The Company may elect pay dividends in cash, or the Company may elect to pay the dividends in shares of Common Stock if certain equity conditions occur, including this Registration Statement being effective. The number of shares that the Company will pay in the form of a dividend is determined by dividing the amount of the 8% preferred stock due by the market price of the Common Stock on the date that dividend is payable. As a result of the Company’s option to elect to pay dividends in the form of Common Stock in lieu of cash, the Company is registering 441,275 shares of Common Stock for the 8,904,287 shares of 8% preferred stock that have been issued. This figure is based on a common stock per share price of $1.13 per share, the last sale price of our shares as reported by the OTCQB on June 13, 2012 (which was the last practicable date before the initial Registration Statement on Form S-1 was filed), over a two year period at a 8% dividend per year.

 

55
 

 

Liquidation Rights. Upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company, the holders of the Shares may exercise their rights to convert all or a portion of their Shares into common stock. Each holder of Shares that does not exercise its rights to convert shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company, for each Share, cash in an amount equal to (i) the original issue price plus (ii) all accrued but unpaid dividends on the shares, before any payment or distribution shall be made on the Junior Stock (as defined in the Certificate), but after payment of all outstanding indebtedness and all amounts due on liquidation, dissolution or winding-up in respect of all preferred stock of the Company which by its terms is senior to the Shares, if any. If the assets of the Company available for distribution to the holders of the Shares upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company are insufficient to pay the full preferential amount to which the holders are entitled, then the holders of the Shares shall share in such distribution of assets pro rata in accordance with the amount that would be payable on such distribution if the amounts to which the holders of Shares were entitled were paid in full. A Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Certificate) shall be treated as a liquidation for purposed of the liquidation preference contained in the Certificate. Prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, the holders of Shares may exercise their rights to convert all or a portion of their Shares into Common Stock.

 

Voting Rights . With respect to any matter on which the holders of common stock shall be entitled to vote, the holders of Shares shall vote together with the holders of common stock, and not as a separate class, and each share shall have a number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock then issuable upon conversion.

 

Optional Conversion by Holder . The holder of any Shares has the right at such holder's option to convert the Shares into such number of shares of fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock as is determined by dividing the original issue price by the conversion price, multiplied by the number of Shares being converted. The “conversion price” is the lower of (i) $0.35 per share (subject to the adjustments to the conversion price listed below); or (ii) the Market Price on the date of such conversion for which the Conversion Price is being applied; provided, however, solely for purposes of clause (ii), the Market Price shall never be less than $0.10 (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock combinations and similar events affecting the Common Stock).

 

Adjustments to Conversion Price. The conversion price of the Shares are subject to adjustment upon certain events, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or other corporate changes. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, if at any time after the Closing Date, the Company issues or sells any shares of its common stock (including options and convertible securities) at a price per share less than the applicable conversion price of the Shares then in effect issue price (each, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the conversion price of the Shares then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the price per share of such Dilutive Issuance.

 

Warrants

 

The Series A Warrants have a five-year term and are exercisable for an aggregate of 2,700,006 shares of our common stock at an initial per share exercise price of $0.30, subject to adjustment as set forth below. 

 

The Series B Warrants have a five-year term and are exercisable for an aggregate of 2,700,006 shares of our common stock at an initial per share exercise price of $0.60 (the exercise price was reset to $0.30 effective May 1, 2012), subject to certain adjustment, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications, mergers or other corporate changes.  In addition, subject to certain exceptions, if at any time after the closing date, the Company issues or sells any shares of its common stock at a price per share less than the exercise price of the applicable warrant, then immediately after such new issuance, the exercise price of the applicable warrant then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the price per share of such new issuance.  If the warrants are not registered with the Securities Act, the warrants can be exercised on a cashless basis.

 

The Series C Warrants have a five-year term and are exercisable for an aggregate of up to 8,904,287 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial per share exercise price of $0.50, subject to adjustment as set forth below.

 

The Series D Warrants have a 90 day term from the effectiveness of this registration statement and are exercisable for an aggregate of up to 4,452,144 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial per share exercise price of $0.35, subject to adjustment as set forth below.

 

The Series E Warrants have a five-year term and are exercisable for an aggregate of up to 4,452,143 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial per share exercise price of $0.50, subject to adjustment as set forth below. The Series E Warrants can not be exercised unless the Series D warrants are exercised.

 

56
 

 

The exercise prices of the Series C Warrants, Series D Warrants and Series E Warrants are subject to adjustment upon certain events, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications, mergers or other corporate changes. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, if at any time after the closing date, the Company issues or sells any shares of its common stock (including options and convertible securities) at a price per share less than the exercise price of the applicable Warrant (each, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the exercise price of the applicable Warrants then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the price per share of such Dilutive Issuance. The warrants can be exercised on a cashless basis if certain conditions are met.

 

Purchase Rights . In addition to any adjustments pursuant to the warrant, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any options, convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of common stock, then the holder will be entitled to acquire the aggregate purchase rights which the holder could have acquired if the holder had held the number of shares of common stock acquirable upon complete exercise of the warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such purchase rights.

 

Fundamental Transactions. The Company may not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the warrant) unless (i) the successor entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under the warrant in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the holders of a majority of the Company warrants outstanding on such date (the “Required Holders”) and approved by the Required Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and (ii) the successor entity is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an approved exchange.

 

Limitation on Directors’ Liability

 

Delaware law authorizes Delaware corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of their directors to them and their stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a director’s fiduciary duty of care. The duty of care requires that, when acting on behalf of the corporation, directors must exercise an informed business judgment based on all material information reasonably available to them. Absent the limitations Delaware law authorizes, directors of Delaware corporations are accountable to those corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for conduct constituting gross negligence in the exercise of their duty of care. Delaware law enables Delaware corporations to limit available relief to equitable remedies such as injunction or rescission. Our certificate of incorporation limits the liability of our directors to us and our stockholders to the fullest extent Delaware law permits. Specifically, no director will be personally liable for monetary damages for any breach of the director’s fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:

 

for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”); and
for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

This provision could have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and may discourage or deter our stockholders or management from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their duty of care, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited us and our stockholders. Our bylaws provide indemnification to our officers and directors and other specified persons with respect to their conduct in various capacities. See “Indemnification of Directors and Officers.”

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or person controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of the DGCL and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

 

Provisions of the DGCL and our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and takeover bids that our board of directors may consider inadequate and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in improved terms for our stockholders.

 

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute. We were subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti-takeover statute. In general, Section 203 of the DGCL prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years following the time the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination or the acquisition of shares that resulted in a stockholder becoming an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own) 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. The existence of this provision would be expected to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the board of directors, including discouraging attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by stockholders.

 

We are not subject to Section 203 of the DGCL because we do not have a class of voting stock that is listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders and we have not elected by a provision in our original certificate of incorporation to be governed by Section 203. Unless we adopt an amendment of our certificate of incorporation by action of our stockholders expressly electing not to be governed by Section 203, we would generally become subject to Section 203 of the DGCL at such time that we have a class of voting stock that is either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders, except that the restrictions contained in Section 203 would not apply if the business combination is with an interested stockholder who became an interested stockholder before the time that we have a class of voting stock that is either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders.

 

 Amendments to Our Certificate of Incorporation. Under the DGCL, the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon and a majority of the outstanding stock of each class entitled to vote thereon is required to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation. Under the DGCL, the holders of the outstanding shares of a class of our capital stock shall be entitled to vote as a class upon a proposed amendment, whether or not entitled to vote thereon by the certificate of incorporation, if the amendment would:

 

increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of such class;
increase or decrease the par value of the shares of such class; or
alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the shares of such class so as to affect them adversely.

 

If any proposed amendment would alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of one or more series of any class of our capital stock so as to affect them adversely, but shall not so affect the entire class, then only the shares of the series so affected by the amendment shall be considered a separate class for the purposes of this provision.

 

Vacancies in the Board of Directors. Our bylaws provide that, subject to limitations, any vacancy occurring in our board of directors for any reason may be filled by a majority of the remaining members of our board of directors then in office, even if such majority is less than a quorum. Each director so elected shall hold office until the expiration of the term of the other directors. Each such directors shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until the earlier of his or her death, resignation or removal.

 

Special Meetings of Stockholders. Under our bylaws, special meetings of stockholders may be called at any time by our President whenever so directed in writing by a majority of the entire board of directors. Special meetings can also be called whenever one-third of the number of shares of our capital stock entitled to vote at such meeting shall, in writing, request one. Under the DGCL, written notice of any special meeting must be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the special meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting.

 

58
 

 

No Cumulative Voting. The DGCL provides that stockholders are denied the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless our certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will not provide for cumulative voting.

Our common stock is listed on the OTCQB under the symbol “LUXR.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The common shares being offered for resale by the selling stockholders consist of 17,371,458 shares. We will pay any fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the securities.

 

Each selling stockholder of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the OTCQB or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

 

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

privately negotiated transactions;

 

settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

 

in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

 

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

 

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

 

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

60
 

 

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling stockholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

 

The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

 

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of securities of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION OF
SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of our company under Delaware law or otherwise, our company has been advised that the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.

LUXEYARD INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

1. Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

 

Basis of Presentation

 

Luxeyard Inc., (the “Company”, “we” or “our”), a Delaware Corporation, is an internet company selling luxury goods on a flash web site. Luxeyard, Inc. is the parent company of the wholly owned subsidiaries, LY Retail, LLC (“LY Retail Texas”), incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas on April 20, 2011 and LY Retail, LLC incorporated in the State of California on November 8, 2011.

 

We have prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. These consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in our opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated balance sheets, operating results, and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for 2012 due to seasonal and other factors. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company has incurred operating losses and negative operating cash flows which raise doubt on its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management Plans to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The Company continues to implement plans to enhance its ability to continue as a going concern. We continue to make web-site improvements to make our site more accessible and improve purchasing. We have eliminated unprofitable operating agreements with Jaxon and Bari and continue to enhance our operating agreement with LeatherGroups, so that we can obtain economies of scale in our sales, marketing and administrative costs. We have reduced our salary expense from reduction of our work force.

 

The Company has not yet established a positive cash flow on a company-wide basis. It will be necessary for the Company to obtain additional funding from the private or public debt or equity markets in the future. However, the Company cannot offer any assurance that it will be successful in executing the aforementioned plans to continue as a going concern. The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2012 do not include any adjustments that might result from the inability to implement or execute the Company’s plans to improve our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Luxeyard, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, LY Retail Texas and LY Retail, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the period from inception to September 30, 2011. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue from product sales when the following four criteria are met: pervasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

We provide all customer care and support for the merchandise sold on our website and we are not acting as agents for the vendors. Our members have a relationship only with us and we are responsible for fulfillment and customer satisfaction. We have traditional merchant-vendor relationships with our vendors and are not acting as their agent.

 

F-5
 

 

Product sales represent revenue from the sale of products and related shipping fees where we are the seller of record. Product sales and shipping revenues, net of promotional discounts, rebates, and return allowances, are recorded when the products are shipped and title passes to customers. Retail sales to customers are made pursuant to a sales contract that provides for transfer of both title and risk of loss upon our delivery to the carrier.

 

We record and report revenue on the gross amount billed to customers when the following indicators are met:

· we are the primary obligor in the transaction

· we are subject to inventory risk and credit risk for amount billed to the customer

· we have latitude in establishing prices and selecting suppliers

 

Sales, where we have a revenue sharing arrangement with a vendor, are recorded net of the vendors’ share.

 

Refunds

 

At the end of the accounting period, we record an allowance for estimated customer refunds. We accrue costs associated with refunds in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets. The cost of refunds where the amount payable to the merchant is recoverable is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as a reduction to revenue.

 

Inventories 

 

Inventories, consisting of products available for sale, are primarily accounted for using the first-in first-out (“FIFO”) method, and are valued at the lower of cost or market value. This valuation requires us to make judgments, based on currently-available information about likely method of disposition, such as through sales to individual customers, returns to product vendors, or liquidations, and expected recoverable values of each disposition category.

 

Earnings (Loss) per Common Share

 

The Company’s Series C, D and E warrants participate in dividends (“participating securities”) and as such, we are required to use the two-class method in computing earnings per share. The calculation of basic earnings per share (EPS) using the two-class method excludes income attributable to these participating securities from the numerator and excludes the dilutive impact of those shares from the denominator. Fully diluted earnings per common share is computed similar to basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The dilutive effect of our share-based awards is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes that all share-based awards are exercised and the hypothetical proceeds from exercise are used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The dilutive effect of our Series A convertible preferred stock and convertible debentures is computed using the if-converted method, which assumes conversion at the beginning of the year.

 

The following represents a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012:

   

Three months ended September 30, 2012   Net income attributable to
common shareholders 
(Numerator)
    Shares 
(Denominator)

Common stock equivalents related to the Series A convertible preferred stock of 8,904,287 were not included in the denominators of the diluted earnings per common share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Convertible debentures     -       -          
Diluted earnings per common share   $ (14,704,091 )     74,666,494     $ (0.20 )

 

Common stock equivalents related to the convertible debentures and the Series A convertible preferred stock of 17,637,620 were not included in the denominators of the diluted earnings per common share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Financial instruments are recorded at fair value in accordance with the standard for “Fair Value Measurements codified within ASC 820.” Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 -Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 -Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3 -Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment. The following table presents the derivative financial instruments, the Company’s only financial liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis, and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

 

    September 30, 2012     Level 1     Level 2     Level 3  
Warrants   $ 3,092,018       -       -     $ 3,092,018  
Embedded conversion options     984,380       -       -       984,380  
Total   $ 4,076,398       -       -     $ 4,076,398  

 

   December 31, 2011   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
Warrants  $158,758   $-   $-   $158,758 
Embedded conversion options   -    -    -    - 
Total  $158,758   $-   $-   $158,758 

 

The following table provides a summary of the changes in fair value, including net transfers in and/or out, of the derivative financial instruments, measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs:

 

Balance at December 31, 2011   $ 158,758  
Fair value of embedded conversion derivative liability at issuance charged to debt discount     2,927,881  
Fair value of derivative liability related to warrants issued     21,982,187  
Settlement of derivative liabilities     (1,631,262 )
Derivative gains in other expense     (19,361,166 )
Balance at September 30, 2012   $ 4,076,398  

 

The fair value of the derivative liabilities are calculated at the time of issuance and the Company records a derivative liability for the calculated value. Changes in the fair value of the derivative liabilities are recorded in other expense in the consolidated statement of operations. The derivatives related to the embedded conversion options and warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model on the issuance date with the following assumptions:

 

Risk-free interest rate - 0.10% to 0.77%
Stock price - $0.69 to $1.32
Dividend yield - 0%
Volatility factor - 151% to 440%
Expected life (years) - 1.76 to 5.0 years

 

At September 30, 2012, the derivatives related to the embedded conversion options and warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

Risk-free interest rate - 0.17% to 0.63%
Stock price - $0.15
Dividend yield - 0%
Volatility factor - 232% to 414%
Expected life (years) - 1.34 to 4.65 years

 

As indicated above, the Company’s stock price is a key input in the Black-Scholes model. The stock price as of September 30, 2012 was lower than on the initial measurement date of the derivative instruments, which resulted to a lower derivative liability as of September 30, 2012 and a derivative gain for the period then ended.

 

Share-Based Payments

 

The Company accounts for share-based awards to employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718 “ Stock Compensation” . Under this guidance, stock compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite employee service period (generally the vesting period). The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payments using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

F-7
 

 

Share-based awards to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with ASC 505-50, wherein such awards are expensed over the period in which the related services are rendered at their fair value.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain accounts in the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year financial statement presentation.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

 

3. Asset Purchase

 

On February 22, 2012 we acquired certain office equipment and other related assets of eOpulence, LLC for a total purchase price of $260,297 equivalent to the fair value of 300,000 common stock options. These options have an exercise price of $0.30 per share and will expire on November 30, 2021. The fair value was calculated using the Black-Scholes pricing model using the following assumptions:

 

Risk-free interest rate - 2.7%
Stock price - $0.90
Dividend yield - 0%
Volatility factor - 216%
Expected life (years) - 3.0 years

 

We recognized an impairment loss related to the assets acquired of $192,753 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, because the fair market value of the acquired assets was less than the consideration paid.

 

4.   Related Party Transactions

 

Braden Richter, the Company’s former CEO and Director is related to the sublessor of our subleased office space in Los Angeles, California.  Payments on the sub-lease were $66,944 from March 1 (inception) to September 30, 2012. The Company paid a deposit on this lease of $29,797. In April 2012, the Company issued 300,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $240,000 to the CEO as consulting fees. Subsequent to September 30, 2012, Braden was terminated from his role of CEO and Director.  

 

Steve Beauregard, our former COO, is the founder and a majority stockholder in Regard Solutions, Inc., (“Regard”). We had an agreement with Regard for Technical Services and Project Management. Steve Beauregard was terminated from his role of COO effective August 17, 2012. As such, the agreement with Regard was also terminated. The Company incurred expenses of $511,818, from Regard for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. In April 2012, the Company issued 50,000 restricted shares of common stock with a fair value of $40,000 to Regard as finder’s fee.

 

On May 1, 2012, the Company entered into a management agreement with Jaxon International, LLC (Jaxon), a company owned by the wife of the Company’s former CEO and Director. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company managed Jaxon’s retail store business and paid Jaxon a monthly overhead allocation of $45,000 to cover its fixed operating expenses. In exchange, the Company receives and recognized all revenues generated from the retail stores as well as the related cost of goods sold since it bore the risks and rewards related to the sales. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded $457,968 of sales and $228,968 of cost of goods sold in connection with this agreement.

 

On May 31, 2012 the Company loaned $308,000 to Jaxon. This note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum and is payable on demand. The purpose of the loan was to buy out the equity interest of the other member in anticipation of the Company’s acquisition of Jaxon. Subsequent to September 30, 2012, this agreement was terminated. The Company has a pending litigation with Braden Richter, the former CEO to recoup damages resulting from the agreement as well as the collection of the related note receivable.

 

On May 1, 2012, the Company entered into a management agreement with Home Loft, Inc. to manage its LeatherGroups (LG) web site. Home Loft is owned by the Company’s new COO. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company paid a $50,000 deposit to Home Loft which is reported as other asset in the consolidated balance sheet. In exchange, the Company receives and recognizes all revenues for all products sold in the website as well as the related cost of goods sold since it bears the risk and rewards related to these sales. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded $172,067 of sales and $47,720 of cost of goods sold in connection with this agreement.

 

In May and June 2012, the Company received three advances from a shareholder totaling $50,000 which remained outstanding as of September 30, 2012. These advances bear no interest and are due on demand.

 

During the third quarter of 2012, the Company’s chairman of the Board of Directors and interim CEO, loaned the Company a total of $575,000. The notes bear no interest and are payable when the Company closes an equity or equity linked financing of $500,000 and above. The note holder also has the option to convert the notes into securities issuable in such financing. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company made repayments to the notes amounting to $225,000. As of September 30, 2012, the notes have an outstanding balance of $350,000.

These debentures are convertible to 9,716,667 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.30 per share and mature on January 31, 2014.  The related debenture agreement also provides for a mandatory conversion any time prior to the maturity date if all of the following criteria are met: a) the common shares underlying the debentures are registered in a registration statement under the Securities Act or are available for resale pursuant to Rule 144; b) the Company’s share prices for a period of 10 consecutive days remain at or above $1 and c) the daily volume of the Company’s stock during such consecutive 10 day period is at least 50,000. At the same time, the conversion price is adjusted downward if, at any period that the debentures are outstanding, the Company issues any additional stock or securities convertible into shares of common stock at a price less than the applicable conversion price.

 

In connection with the sale of the convertible debentures, the Company incurred costs from third parties amounting to $145,450. These costs were recognized as deferred financing costs and amortized over the term of the debentures. Amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 amounted to $26,674.

 

The Company evaluated the terms of the debentures under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 815-15 and determined that the embedded conversion option of the debentures require derivative accounting treatment due to reset provisions in the conversion price. The fair value of the embedded conversion option amounted to $5,967,574 of which $2,427,881 was recognized as a debt discount to the debentures and the difference of $3,539,693 as a “day 1” derivative loss. The debt discount is accreted to interest expense over the term of the debentures. Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 amounted to $1,368,728.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, debentures plus accrued interest of $299,972 were converted into 1,000,307 shares of common stock. Upon conversion of the debentures, the Company recognized the unamortized discount to interest expense, the derivative liability related to the embedded conversion option was marked to market at the date of conversion and the fair value of $1,098,914 was reclassified to additional paid in capital.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company issued bridge notes to two lenders totaling $500,000.

The warrant agreements provide that for a period of 1 year from issuance, the exercise price of the warrants shall be adjusted downward if the Company issues any additional common stock or securities convertible into shares of common stock at a price less than the applicable exercise price. These notes were fully paid as of September 30, 2012.

 

The Company evaluated the terms of the warrants under FASB ASC 815-15 and determined that the warrants require derivative accounting treatment due to reset provisions in the exercise price. The fair value of the warrants amounted to $816,599 of which $500,000 was recognized as a debt discount to the bridge notes and the difference of $316,599 as a “day 1” derivative loss. Upon full payment of the notes, the debt discount was fully amortized to interest expense.

 

In June 2012, the warrants were exercised and the Company issued 378,000 shares of common stock to the lenders. The related derivative liability was marked to market at the date of exercise and the fair value of $532,349 was reclassified to additional paid in capital.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors

Luxeyard, Inc.

Los Angeles, CA

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Luxeyard, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the period from April 20, 2011 (inception) to December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Luxeyard, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the period from April 20, 2011 (inception) to December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

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

LUXEYARD INC.

DECEMBER 31, 2011

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.   Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations

 

Basis of Presentation

 

Luxeyard Inc., (the “Company”, “we” or “our”), a Delaware Corporation, is an internet company selling luxury goods on a flash web site. Luxeyard, Inc. is the parent company of the wholly owned subsidiaries, LY Retail, LLC (“LY Retail Texas”), incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas on April 20, 2011 and LY Retail, LLC (“LY Retail”) incorporated in the State of California on November 8, 2011. The Company has adopted a fiscal year end of December 31.

 

Nature of Operations

 

On November 8, 2011, Top Gear Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Top Gear”) acquired all of the membership units of LY Retail Texas on April 20, 2011. LY Retail Texas exchanged all of its membership for the issuance of 1,785,294 shares (30,350,000 shares post-split) of Top Gear’s common stock pursuant to a Securities Exchange Agreement between LY Retail Texas, LY Retail Texas’s former members, Top Gear and the former principal stockholders of Top Gear.  As a result of this transaction, LY Retail Texas became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Top Gear and its former members became the controlling stockholders of Top Gear.  The transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization of Top Gear affected by a securities exchange, wherein LY Retail Texas is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes.

 

Immediately prior to the securities exchange, Top Gear contributed substantially all of its assets and liabilities to a subsidiary and then spun out the subsidiary to its former controlling stockholders in exchange for the cancellation of a total of 7,000,000 shares (pre-split) of our common stock previously held by them.

 

Concurrently with this transaction, LY Retail was incorporated in the State of California as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company on November 8, 2011 and all of the operating activity of the Company was transferred to LY Retail and LY Retail Texas ceased all activity. At year end LY Retail and LY Retail Texas are wholly owned subsidiaries of Top Gear.

 

On January 9, 2012, Top Gear filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to change the corporate name from “Top Gear, Inc.” to “Luxeyard, Inc.” The amendment was effective as of January 9, 2012. The name change was declared effective by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, as of February 13, 2012.

 

Going Concern

 

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. As of December 31, 2011, we have generated minimal revenues since inception.  We expect to finance our operations primarily through our existing cash, our operations and any future financing.  However, there exists substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern because we will be required to obtain additional capital in the future to continue our operations and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain such capital, through equity or debt financing, or any combination thereof, or on satisfactory terms or at all. Additionally, no assurance can be given that any such financing, if obtained, will be adequate to meet our capital needs. If adequate capital cannot be obtained on a timely basis and on satisfactory terms, our operations would be materially negatively impacted. Therefore, there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to complete additional offerings is dependent on the state of the debt and/or equity markets at the time of any proposed offering, and such market’s reception of the Company and the offering terms. There is no assurance that capital in any form would be available to us, and if available, on terms and conditions that are acceptable.

 

Our business is capital intensive. Our ability to grow is dependent upon favorably obtaining outside capital and generating cash flows from operating activities necessary to fund our investment activities. There is no assurance that we will be able to achieve profitability. Since our future operations will continue to be dependent on successful execution of our business plan and our acquisition activities and our ability to seek and secure capital from external sources, should we be unable to achieve sustainable profitability this could cause any equity investment in the Company to decline in value.

 

Major sources of funds in the past for us have included the debt or equity markets. While we have achieved a significant increase in our Gross Margin from the flash web site and from our Management Services Agreements, we do not have positive cash flow. We will have to rely on these capital markets to fund future operations and growth. Our business model is focused on acquiring LeatherGroups and other verticals as well as retail sales from our web-site and wholesale sales generated by TradeYard. Our ability to generate future revenues and operating cash flow will depend on successful retail and wholesale sales and the ability to execute our business plan, which will require us to continue to raise equity or debt capital from outside sources.

 

The Company has ongoing capital commitments to acquire LeatherGroups (LG) subject to their underlying terms. Subject to the Company’s due diligence investigation of LG and its online business and subject to the parties’ negotiations and execution of a definitive agreement, the Company has capital commitments to acquire LG for $250,000 cash to be paid over four months, and 350,000 options to purchase shares of LuxeYard, Inc. common stock and the amount of options equal ot the quotient of $122,500 divided by the difference between the average closing market stock price of LuxeYard, Inc. common shares during the five trading days immediately prior to the transaction closing, and $0.35. Failure to meet such ongoing commitments may result in the loss of the ability to make these acquisitions. These ongoing commitments may also cause us to seek additional capital from sources outside of the Company. The current uncertainty in the credit and capital markets, and the economic downturn, may restrict our ability to obtain needed capital.

 

In the current fiscal year, we continue to seek additional financing for our planned development and growth activities. We plan to obtain financing through various methods, including issuing debt securities, equity securities, bank debt, or combinations of these instruments which could result in dilution to existing security holders and increased debt and leverage. No assurance can be given that we will be able to obtain funding under any loan commitments or any additional financing on favorable terms, if at all.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Luxeyard, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, LY Retail Texas and LY Retail. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The financial statements are prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2011, and expenses for the period ended December 31, 2011, and cumulative from inception. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of reporting within the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash represents proceeds from the sale of the Company’s common stock which is held in escrow as of December 31, 2011. These were released to the Company on February 10, 2012.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company’s accounts receivable are derived from amounts due from the credit card company that processes the credit card transactions from customers. Since accounts are settled daily, the balance represents one day’s sales. The Company records an allowance for uncollectible accounts which reduces the stated value of receivables on the balance sheet. This allowance is calculated based on a historical estimate. The allowance for uncollectible accounts at December 31, 2011 was $0.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, generally three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over their estimated useful economic lives or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Management periodically evaluates economic lives in order to determine recoverability in light of current technological conditions and expected cash flows. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expenses as incurred.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue from product sales when the following four criteria are met: pervasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Product sales represent revenue from the sale of products and related shipping fees where we are the seller of record. Product sales and shipping revenues, net of promotional discounts, rebates, and return allowances, are recorded when the products are shipped and title passes to customers. Retail sales to customers are made pursuant to a sales contract that provides for transfer of both title and risk of loss upon our delivery to the carrier.

 

We record and report revenue on the gross amount billed to customers when the following indicators are met:

·we are the primary obligor in the transaction
·we are subject to inventory risk and credit risk for amount billed to the customer
·we have latitude in establishing prices and selecting suppliers

 

F-18
 

 

Deferred Revenue

 

Deferred revenue represents all payments received from customers in excess of revenue earned based on money received for products that have not shipped.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales consists primarily of direct costs associated with the goods and services the Company provides. Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in revenues. Shipping and handling costs are reported as a component of cost of sales.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

Sales and marketing costs consist primarily of payroll and related expenses for personnel engaged in marketing, customer service and sales functions, advertising and promotional expenditures and payments made to agencies for emails and other marketing activities and advertising expense.

 

Advertising and other promotional costs, are expensed as incurred,

 

Loss per Common Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the period ended December 31, 2011 are the same as any incremental common stock equivalent would be anti-dilutive.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified according to the financial statement classification of the assets and liabilities generating the differences.

 

The Company maintains a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax assets. The Company establishes a valuation allowance based upon the potential likelihood of realizing the deferred tax asset and taking into consideration the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the current period. Future realization of the deferred tax benefit depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period under the Federal tax laws.

 

Changes in circumstances, such as the Company generating taxable income, could cause a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset. Any change in the valuation allowance will be included in income in the year of the change in estimate.

 

The Company also accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 which addresses how we should recognize, measure and present in our financial statements uncertain tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken in a tax return. Pursuant to this guidance, the Company can recognize a tax benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that a particular tax position will be sustained upon examination or audit. To the extent the “more likely than not” standard has been satisfied, the benefit associated with a tax position is measured as the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. No liability for unrecognized tax benefits was recorded as of December 31, 2011.

 

F-19
 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Financial instruments are recorded at fair value in accordance with the standard for “Fair Value Measurements codified within ASC 820.” Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2—Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3—Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment. Our derivative liabilities are classified as level 3.

 

   Level 1   Level 2   Level 3 
Derivative liability - warrants  $-   $-   $158,758 
Total  $-   $-   $158,758 

 

The fair value of the warrant liabilities at inception and at December 31, 2011 was approximately $158,000, accordingly, we did not recognize any derivative gain or loss when the instruments were marked to market at year-end.

 

Share-Based Payments

 

The Company accounts for share-based awards to employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718 “Stock Compensation” . Under this guidance, stock compensation expense is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite employee service period (generally the vesting period). The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payments using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

Share-based awards to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with ASC 505-50, wherein such awards are expensed over the period in which the related services are rendered at their fair value.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

 

3.  Merger

 

On November 8, 2011, the Company entered into a series of transactions pursuant to which it acquired LY Retail Texas, spun-out the Company’s prior operations from the Company’s former principal stockholders, directors and officers, and completed a private offering of its securities.   The following summarizes the foregoing transactions:

 

F-20
 

 

Acquisition of LY Retail Texas.   The Company acquired all of the membership interests of LY Retail Texas in exchange for the issuance of 30,350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to a Securities Exchange Agreement between the Company, its former principal stockholders, LY Retail Texas and the former members of LY Retail Texas.  As a result of this transaction, LY Retail Texas became our wholly owned subsidiary and the former members of LY Retail Texas became our controlling stockholders.  The transaction was accounted for as reverse merger and a recapitalization effected by a securities exchange, wherein LY Retail Texas is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes.

 

Reorganization and Spin-Out of Top Gear Business.   Immediately prior to the acquisition of LY Retail Texas, the Company contributed substantially all of our assets to SpinCo, and, in exchange, SpinCo assumed all of the Company’s liabilities.  In addition, the Company transferred all of its ownership interest in SpinCo to Shalom and Bergman in exchange for the cancellation of a total of 119,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock previously held by Shalom and Bergman.

 

Financing Transactions.   Immediately following the acquisition of LY Retail Texas, the Company completed a private offering of units consisting of an aggregate of (i) 3,150,012 shares of the Company’s common stock, (ii) Series A warrants to purchase 1,575,000 shares of common stock which have a five-year term and a per share exercise price of $ 0.30, and (iii) Series B warrants to purchase 1,575,000 shares of common stock which have a five-year term and a per share exercise price of $ 0.60.   The aggregate purchase price of the units was approximately $630,000.

 

On December 15, 2011, the Company completed a second private offering of (i) the aggregate number of shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of the Company at a per share purchase price of $0.20 in an aggregate of 2,250,000 shares of Common Stock (ii) a five year warrant to initially acquire up to 1,125,000 of additional shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.30 per share Series A Warrants (iii) a five year warrant to initially acquire up to 1,125,000 of additional shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.60 per share the “Series B Warrants”. The aggregate purchase price of the units was approximately $450,000.

 

Subject to certain exceptions, if at any time during the twelve (12) months following the closing of the offering the Company issues or sells shares of its common stock at a price per share less than $0.30 (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction), the Company is required to promptly thereafter issue to each subscriber following such new issuance that number of shares of its common stock equal to the greater of (I) zero and (II) the difference of (i) the quotient of (x) such subscriber’s purchase price divided by (y) the price per share of the new issuance, less (ii) the number of shares of common stock previously issued to such Subscriber pursuant to the Subscription Agreement (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction). 

 

Exchange of Bridge Notes.   Certain of the Subscribers (each, a “Bridge Investor” and collectively the “Bridge Investors”) delivered promissory notes issued by LY Retail Texas prior to the securities exchange mentioned above (each, a “Bridge Note” and collectively the “Bridge Notes”) as payment of such Bridge Investor’s purchase price for the units.  To the extent the principal amount of a Bridge Investor’s Bridge Note was greater than such Bridge Investor’s purchase price for the units, the Company, on behalf of LY Retail Texas, paid the remaining principal amount of such Bridge Note from the proceeds of the Offering.  Accordingly, Bridge Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $217,500 were exchanged for units in the Offering and the Company paid $62,500 of the remaining principal amount of the Bridge Notes to the Bridge Investors out of the proceeds from the Offering.  As a result, the Bridge Notes are deemed to be cancelled and are of no further force and effect.

 

Forward Split.    On February 14, 2012 the Company effectuated a 17:1 forward stock split of its common stock.  The forward split was retroactively applied resulting in a price per share of $0.20; (ii) an exercise price of the Series A Warrants of $0.30 per share; and (iii) the exercise price of the Series B Warrants of $0.60 per share.

 

Registration Rights Agreement

 

On the Closing Date and in connection with Offering, we entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Subscribers granting the Subscribers piggy-back registration rights with respect to the Shares and the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”).

 

F-21

6.  Income Taxes

 

The Company’s net deferred income tax asset as of December 31, 2011, after applying enacted corporate income tax rates, are as follows:

 

Net operating loss carry forward  $333,943 
Valuation allowance   (333,943)
Total   - 

 

As of December 31, 2011, the Company has unused net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $954,000 which will begin to expire in 2031. The Company provided a full valuation allowance to the deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2011 because it is not presently known whether future taxable income will be sufficient to utilize the loss carryforwards.

 

The Tax Reform Act of 1986 limits the use of net operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards in certain situations where changes occur in the stock ownership of a company. In the event the Company has a change in ownership, utilization of the net operating loss carry-forwards could be restricted.

10.  Stock Option Plan

 

In September 2011, the Company adopted the 2011 Stock Option Plan (the Plan). The Plan provides for the granting of options to purchase shares of common stock to employees and consultants of the Company. Options granted under the Plan may be either incentive stock options (ISOs) or non-qualified stock options (NSOs). ISOs may be granted only to Company employees (including officers and directors who may also be employees). NSOs may be granted to Company employees and consultants. The Company reserved 13,005,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan as of December 31, 2011, of which 8,876,546 were subject to outstanding options and other awards and 4,128,454 were available for future grants of share-based awards.

 

Options under the Plan may be granted for periods of up to ten years and at prices no less than 85% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant as determined by the Board of Directors, provided, however, that (i) the exercise price of an ISO and NSO shall not be less than 100% and 85% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant, respectively, and (ii) the exercise price of an ISO and NSO granted to a 10% shareholder shall not be less than 110% of the estimated fair value of the shares on the date of grant. The Board of Directors determined the value of the underlying stock by considering a number of factors, including historical and projected results, the risks the Company faced at the time of issuance, the rights of the Company’s preferred securities and the lack of liquidity of the Company’s common stock. Options granted under the Plan generally vest ratably over a 36 month period. It is the Company’s policy to grant stock options to employees and nonemployees at exercise prices equal to the fair value of the underlying stock at the date of the grant.

 

The following is a summary of stock options granted, canceled, and outstanding under the plan for the year ended December 31, 2011:

At December 31, 2011, 4,128,454 options remained available for future grants under the Plan. The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the period ended December 31, 2011 was $ 0.03. Outstanding options as of December 31, 2011 have an intrinsic value of zero.

 

The options were valued using the Black-Scholes-pricing model. Significant assumptions used in the valuation include the following:

 

Expected term   5.40 - 5.84 years 
Expected volatility   415% - 447%. 
Risk free interest rate   0.82% - 2.03
Expected dividend yield   0%

 

During the period ended December 31, 2011, stock compensation expense recognized under the plan was $84,325.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law allows a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation will not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the directors breached the duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit. Our certificate of incorporation provides for this limitation of liability.

 

Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was, is or is threatened to be made, party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who are, or were, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests, provided that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer, director, employee or agent is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or directors has actually and reasonably incurred.

 

Section 145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him under Section 145.

 

64
 

 

Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and shall pay expenses incurred (including attorneys’ fees) in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon receipt of an undertaking, by an indemnified person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under this section or otherwise.

 

The indemnification rights set forth above shall not be exclusive of any other right which an indemnified person may have or hereafter acquire under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such person.

 

We maintain a general liability insurance policy that covers liabilities of directors and officers of our corporation arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.

The above securities were offered and sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) promulgated under the Securities Act.  The Company made this determination based on the representations of the investors which included, in pertinent part, that each such investor was an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D and upon such further representations from each investor that (i) such investor is acquiring the securities for its own account for investment and not for the account of any other person and not with a view to or for distribution, assignment or resale in connection with any distribution within the meaning of the Securities Act, (ii) such investor agrees not to sell or otherwise transfer the purchased securities or shares underlying such securities unless they are registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or an exemption or exemptions from such registration are available, (iii) such investor has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that such investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in us, (iv) such investor  had access to all of the Company’s documents, records, and books pertaining to the investment and was provided the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers regarding the terms and conditions of the Offering and to obtain any additional information which the Company possessed or was able to acquire without unreasonable effort and expense, and (v) such investor has no need for the liquidity in its investment in us and could afford the complete loss of such investment.

The shares of common stock issued to the former members of Luxeyard in connection with the Securities Exchange were offered and sold in a private transaction in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.  Our reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act was based upon the following factors: (a) the issuance of the securities was an isolated private transaction by us which did not involve a public offering; (b) there were only a limited number of offerees; (c) there were no subsequent or contemporaneous public offerings of the securities by us; (d) the securities were not broken down into smaller denominations; and (e) the negotiations for the sale of the stock took place directly between the offerees and us.


Item 16. Exhibits.

 

See Exhibit Index following the signature page.

 

Item 17. Undertakings.

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

i. To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

ii. To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

 

iii. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

66
 

 

(5) Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
