Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1: Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

 

MusclePharm Corporation (the “Company”) is a scientifically driven, performance lifestyle Company that develops, manufactures, markets and distributes branded nutritional supplements. The Company was incorporated in Nevada in 2006, and principal executive offices are located in Denver, Colorado.

 

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, and for the three and six months then ended, have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”) for interim financial information. The amounts as of December 31, 2013 have been derived from the Company’s annual audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) to state fairly the financial position of the Company and its results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, filed on March 31, 2014 (the “Form 10-K”).

 

The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014 or any future period and the Company makes no representations related thereto.

 

Reclassification

 

The Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented.

 

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MusclePharm Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries MusclePharm Canada Enterprises Corp (“MusclePharm Canada”) and Biozone Laboratories, Inc. (“Biozone”). MusclePharm Canada began operations in April 2012 and Biozone was acquired in January 2014. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The accounting estimates and assumptions that require management’s most significant, difficult, and subjective judgment include the recognition and measurement of allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserve, derivatives, and sales discounts and allowances reserve among others. Actual results experienced by the Company may differ from management’s estimates.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

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

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") amended the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. The amendments are based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. MusclePharm is required to adopt the amendments in the first quarter of 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. MusclePharm is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments and the transition alternatives on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The cash balance at times may exceed federally insured limits, and at June 30, 2014 we had one bank account that exceeded the federally insured limit, and at December 31, 2013 we had two bank accounts that exceeded the federally insured limit.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable represents trade obligations from customers that are subject to normal trade collection terms. The Company’s finance department monitors the status of customer receivables and takes actions to collect past due balances as necessary. The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and considers the need to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical collection experience and specific customer information. Accordingly, the actual amounts could vary from the recorded allowances. There is also a review of customer discounts at the period end and an accrual made for discounts earned but not yet utilized by period end.

 

Management performs ongoing evaluations of the Company’s customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. Some international customers are required to pay for their orders in advance of shipment. Management reviews accounts receivable quarterly and reduces the carrying amount by a valuation allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of amounts that may not be collectible. Allowances, if any, for uncollectible accounts receivable are determined based upon the aging of accounts receivable, changes in customer credit worthiness, general market and economic conditions, and historical experience. Bad debt expense recognized as a result of our valuation allowance is classified under Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

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

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market value. The cost of product inventory for MusclePharm and MusclePharm Canada is computed using actual cost on a First-In First-Out basis, and the cost of inventory for Biozone is computed using an average cost basis. Adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to its net realizable value are made, if required, and estimates are made for obsolescence, excess or slow-moving inventories, non-conforming inventories, and expired inventory.

 

Prepaid Giveaways

 

Prepaid giveaways represent non-inventory samples, which are given away to aid in promotion of the brand and products.

 

Prepaid Sponsorship and Endorsement Fees

 

Prepaid sponsorship and endorsement fees represent fees paid in connection with Company sponsorships of certain events and trade shows as well as prepaid athlete endorsement fees, which are expensed over the period the fees are earned. A significant amount of the Company’s promotional expenses results from payments under endorsement and sponsorship contracts.  Accounting treatment for endorsement and sponsorship payments is based upon specific contract provisions.  Generally, endorsement and sponsorship payments are expensed straight-line over the term of the contract after giving recognition to periodic performance compliance provisions of the contract.  Prepayments made under the contracts are included in either current or long-term prepaid expenses depending on the performance period for which the prepayment applies.

 

Prepaid Stock Compensation

 

Prepaid stock compensation represents amounts paid with stock for future contractual benefits to be received. The Company amortizes these contractual benefits over the life of the contracts using the straight-line method.

Prepaid Expenses

 

Prepaid expenses consist of various payments that the Company has made in advance for goods or services to be received in the future. These prepaid expenses include legal retainers, print advertising, insurance and service contracts requiring up-front payments.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated to their estimated residual value over their estimated useful lives. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the assets and related accumulated depreciation are relieved from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are included in the Statements of Operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method for all property and equipment. We review our property and equipment for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. We use an estimate of future undiscounted net cash flows of the related assets or groups of assets over their remaining lives in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. An impairment loss is calculated by determining the difference between the carrying values and the estimated fair values of these assets. We did not consider any of our property and equipment to be impaired during the six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their related useful lives, using a straight-line basis consistent with the underlying expected future cash flows related to the specific intangible asset. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances exist that indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When indicators of impairment exist, an estimate of undiscounted net cash flows is used in measuring whether the carrying amount of the asset or related asset group is recoverable. Measurement of the amount of impairment, if any, is based upon the difference between the asset's carrying value and estimated fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques, including market and income approaches as considered necessary. See Note 15 for further disclosure of intangible assets.

 

Accrued Liabilities

 

Accrued liabilities consist of amounts estimated by management for future liability payments that relate to the current accounting period. Management reviews these estimates periodically to determine their reasonableness and fair presentation.

 

Debt

 

The Company defines short term debt as any debt payment due less than one year from the date of the financial statements. Long term debt is defined as any debt payment due more than one year from the date of the financial statements. Refer to Note 6 for further disclosure of debt liabilities.

 

Derivatives

 

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

 

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

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

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

MusclePharm Corporation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consisted primarily of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable. The Company’s notes payable approximate fair value based upon current borrowing rates available to the Company for debt with similar maturities. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments generally approximated their fair values as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

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

 

Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

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

 

The Company records sales allowances and discounts as a direct reduction of sales. The Company grants volume incentive rebates to certain customers based on contractually agreed upon percentages once certain thresholds have been met. These volume incentive rebates are recorded as a direct reduction to sales.

 

The Company has determined that customer advertising related credits are accounted for based on the guidance of ASC No. 605-50-55 (“Revenue Recognition” – Customer Payments and Incentives), which indicates that, absent evidence of benefit to the vendor, appropriate treatment requires netting these types of payments against revenues and not expensing as advertising expense.

 

Advertising and Promotion

 

Advertising and promotion expenses include digital and print advertising, trade show events, athletic endorsements and sponsorships, and promotional giveaways.  Advertising expenses are recognized in the month that the advertising appears while costs associated with trade show events are expensed when the event occurs.  For major trade shows, the expenses are recognized within the calendar year over the period in which we recognize revenue associated with sales generated at the trade show. Costs related to promotional giveaways are expensed when the product is either given out at a promotional event or shipped to the customer.

 

A significant amount of the Company’s promotional expenses results from payments under endorsement and sponsorship contracts.  Accounting treatment for endorsement and sponsorship payments is based upon specific contract provisions.  Generally, endorsement payments are expensed straight-line over the term of the contract after giving recognition to periodic performance compliance provisions of the contract.  Prepayments made under the contracts are included in either current or long-term prepaid expenses depending on the period for which the prepayment applies.

 

Some of the contracts provide for contingent payments to endorsers or athletes based upon specific achievement in their sports (e.g. winning a championship).  The Company records expense for these payments when the endorser achieves the specific achievement.

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Beginning with the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, (included in FASB ASC Subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes — Overall), the Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.

 

The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. There were no interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

 

Foreign Currency

 

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

Note 7: Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company identified conversion features embedded within Series D Preferred Stock issued in January 2013.

Derivative liability - December 31, 2013   1,147,330 
Fair value mark to market adjustment for equity instruments   (373,944)
Conversion instruments exercise   (773,386)
Derivative liability – June 30, 2014  $- 

 

The Company recorded the day one value of derivative contracts associated with the Series D preferred stock issuance against gross proceeds raised, and expensed immediately the remaining value of the derivative as it exceeded the gross proceeds of the offering. The Company recorded a derivative expense of $0 and $96,913 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

On April 2, 2014, the remaining outstanding shares of Series D preferred stock were converted into common shares thereby eliminating the remaining derivative liability for the embedded conversion option as of that date. Of the derivative liability that was eliminated, $773,254 was reclassified to Additional paid-in capital in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Series D Convertible Preferred Stock

 

In January 2013 the board of directors authorized 1,600,000 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock. Between January 16, 2013 and February 4, 2013, the Company entered into separate subscription agreements with certain investors in connection with the offering, pursuant to which the Company sold an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of Preferred Stock for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $12 million. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on January 11, 2013 (the “Certificate of Designation”), each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into two shares of common stock, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Certificate of Designation. On April 2, 2014, the remaining 131,500 shares of outstanding Series D convertible preferred stock were converted to 263,000 shares of common stock.

 

Common Stock

Transaction Type  Quantity
(#)
   Valuation

The fair value of all stock issuances above is based upon either the quoted closing trading price on the date of issuance or the value of derivative instrument at the date of conversion. See Note 14 for further details of the Biozone acquisition.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

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

(Unaudited)

 

The Company uses the “treasury stock” method to determine whether there is a dilutive effect of outstanding option and warrant contracts. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 the Company reflected net loss and a dilutive net loss, and the effect of considering any common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive for the period. Therefore, separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

 

The Company has the following common stock equivalents as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively:

 

   As of June 30, 
   2014   2013 
Stock options (exercise price – $425/share)   472    670 
Warrants (exercise price – $4 /share)   -    330,000

Contingencies

 

For all legal proceedings, at each reporting period, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that addresses accounting for contingencies.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in litigation matters and claims in the normal course of business. In the past, the Company and its subsidiaries have litigated these matters. The Company expects it or its subsidiaries will be involved in legal proceedings in the future. These existing and any future legal actions may harm the Company’s business. Litigation could severely disrupt or shut down the business operations or strategic partners of the Company’s subsidiaries, which in turn would significantly harm ongoing relations with them and cause the Company to lose revenues. The cost associated with legal proceedings are typically high, relatively unpredictable and not completely within the Company’s control. These costs may be materially higher than expected, which could adversely affect the Company’s operating results and lead to volatility in the price of its common stock. Whether or not determined in the Company’s favor or ultimately settled, litigation diverts managerial, technical, legal and financial resources from the Company’s business operations. Furthermore, an adverse decision in any of these legal actions could subject the Company to significant liabilities, lost revenue, negatively impact the Company’s stock price or its business and consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Additionally, as a manufacturer of nutritional supplements and other consumer products that are ingested by consumers, the Company may be subject to various product liability claims. Although we have not had any material claims to date, it is possible that current and future product liability claims could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company currently maintains product liability insurance with a deductible/retention of $10,000 per claim with an aggregate cap on retained loss of $20,000,000. At June 30, 2014 the Company had not recorded any accruals for product liability claims.

 

See Part II, Item I of Form 10Q for further discussion of legal proceedings that the Company is party to.

  

Sponsorship and Endorsement Contract Liabilities

 

The Company has various non-cancelable endorsement and sponsorship agreements with terms expiring through 2018. The total value of outstanding payments as of June 30, 2014 was $37,102,417. The total outstanding payments are as follows:

 

Outstanding Payments  2014   2015   2016   2017   2018   Total 
Endorsement  $3,730,750   $8,280,834   $6,490,833   $6,600,000   $3,500,000   $28,602,417 
Sponsorship   2,357,500    4,905,000    1,137,500    100,000    -    8,500,000 
Total  $6,088,250   $13,185,834   $7,628,333   $6,700,000   $3,500,000   $37,102,417 

 

SEC Investigation

 

In July 2013, the Company received a formal order of investigation of the Company from the Denver Regional Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result of that formal order, the Company is conducting a review of its internal controls, disclosures of related party transactions, settlements of claims including share issuance, executive compensation, and disclosure of perquisites for the periods of 2010, 2011, and 2012. There can be no assurance that these are the only subject matters of concern, what the nature or amounts in question will be, or that these are the only periods under review. As of June 30, 2014 and the date of this report, there have been no changes in the status of the investigation. See Note 16.

 

Note 11: Defined Contribution Plan

 

The Company established a 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) for eligible employees of the Company. Generally, all employees of the Company who are at least twenty-one years of age and who have completed six months of service are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan. The 401(k) Plan is a defined contribution plan that provides that participants may make voluntary salary deferral contributions, on a pretax basis, of up to $17,500 for 2014 (subject to make-up contributions) in the form of voluntary payroll deductions. The Company may make discretionary contributions. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 the Company’s matching contribution was $148,745 and $28,530, respectively.

 

Note 12: Related Party Transactions

The Company maintained a business relationship with Bodybuilding.com prior to hiring Mr. DeLuca.

Note 14: Biozone Acquisition

 

On January 2, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of BioZone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“BioZone”) for $9,840,000 in MusclePharm common stock.

 

The base purchase price under the asset purchase agreement was 1.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock of which 600,000 shares were placed into escrow for a period of nine months to cover indemnification obligations and which shares are also subject to repurchase from the escrow for $10.00 per share in cash during the nine-month escrow period. The remaining 600,000 non-escrowed shares were issued to Biozone upon closing and are subject to a lockup agreement which permits private sales (subject to the lockup and certain leak out provisions). The total consideration was $9,840,000 in common stock based on the stock price as of January 2, 2014. As of June 30, 2014 and the date of this report, the Company is still evaluating the extent to which there will be adjustments against the purchase price of the Biozone assets and liabilities as a result of certain claims that the Company may assert against Biozone pursuant to the indemnification provision under the APA and the 580 Garcia Lease indemnity agreement.

 

The Biozone acquisition is considered an acquisition of a business and was accounted for in accordance with accounting guidance for business combinations. The acquired assets and liabilities have been recognized at their estimated fair value, and the purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. MusclePharm contracted a third party valuation firm to determine the fair value at the date of purchase of all identifiable tangible and intangible assets purchased in the acquisition. Based upon the fair values acquired, the purchase price allocation is as follows:

Note 16: Insurance Recovery

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company received confirmation from its insurance carrier that legal fees and expenses incurred by the Company in the course of complying with SEC subpoenas and information requests as part of the ongoing SEC investigation as more fully described in Note 10 would be eligible for reimbursement under existing insurance policies. Upon receiving this confirmation, the Company determined it was probable, as defined in ASC 450, that certain legal fees and expenses incurred by the Company would be recoverable under these insurance policies and recorded a receivable of $1,342,843 consisting of fees and expenses incurred from January 1, 2014 through June 30, 2014. Of this receivable, $358,671 related to expenses previously recognized in first quarter 2014 as a component of Professional fees in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, professional fees would have been $1,292,517 and $2,077,090 without giving effect to the insurance recovery receivable.

Sales - Net

 

Net sales increased approximately $21.3 million or 83% to $46.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $25.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in sales was due primarily to new sales channels, new product lines, and increased brand awareness.

 

The sales increases in our product lines are due to the successful execution of our growth strategy, which includes increasing our product distribution and sales through increased brand awareness, marketing and promotion, and sponsorships and endorsements both domestically and internationally. The following is a summary of the growth in the channels:

 

·Food, Drug and Mass (FDM) is a new distribution channel for us in 2014, which was launched in fourth quarter 2013 and accounted for $5.0 million of our sales increase.

 

·Our international distribution channel has been another key area of growth in 2014, with an increase of $10.7 million, or 119%, to $19.7 million compared to $9.0 million during the same period 2013.

 

·Our Specialty distribution channel, which includes distributors and online retailers grew by $2.6 million, or 16%, to $19.0 million compared to $16.4 million during the same period 2013.

 

·Biozone Laboratories, Inc., which we acquired in January 2014, accounted for $2.9 million of our sales growth.

 

Discounts and Sales Allowances

 

Discounts and sales allowances as a percent of gross sales for the three months ended June 30, 2014 decreased from 11% of gross sales for the three month period ended June 30, 2013 to 10% of gross sales for the three months ended June 30, 2014. This decrease in discounts and allowances is a result of continued efforts to evaluate and refine customer promotions to improve the efficiency of our marketing and promotion initiatives.

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales as a percent of net sales decreased by 2.4 percentage points from 68.9% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to 66.5% of sales for the same period in 2014. This decrease is due to higher margins realized on Biozone products, which contributed 1.7 percentage points of the decrease, 0.4 percentage points of the decrease was due to the effect of vendor rebates and early payment discounts taken in 2014 and not taken in 2013, and the remainder of the decrease was due to improved product pricing from product vendors.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2014, increased to approximately $15.2 million, compared to $10.7 million, a 42% increase.

 

Advertising and promotion expenses increased $2.6 million, or 81%, to $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $3.3 million for the same period in 2013. Of this increase, $1.8 million was for marketing expenses in conjunction with strategic partnership agreements. The remaining increase is for continued marketing efforts to increase our brand awareness, brand extension, and develop new distribution channels. As a percent of sales, advertising expense remained consistent quarter over quarter at 12.7% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 12.9% for the same period in 2013.

 

Salaries and benefits were $5.8 million, or 12% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 up from $1.6 million, or 6.1% of revenue for the same period in 2013. Of this increase, $1.9 million relates to amortization of stock-based compensation for awards granted to employees, directors, and officers in July 2013, the Biozone acquisition in January 2014 contributed $0.7 million, and the remaining increase was due to salary increases and additional headcount to support our continued growth strategy.

 

Professional fees decreased by $3.8 million from $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $(0.1) million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The majority of the decrease in 2014 was due to consulting fees related to the recapitalization of the Company in 2013 of $3.0 million, which we did not have in 2014. Non-SEC related legal fees decreased $0.2 million and consulting fees decreased by $0.2 million. Legal fees were further decreased by $0.4 million due to a receivable we recorded in second quarter for reimbursement of legal fees and expenses related to the SEC investigation. During the quarter the Company received confirmation from our insurance carrier that certain legal fees and expenses related to the SEC investigation would be reimbursable under our existing insurance policies, and as such, we recognized a $1.3 million receivable for those legal fees and expenses resulting in a $0.4 million credit to legal expenses previously recorded in first quarter 2014.

Sales - Net

 

Net sales increased approximately $48.9 million or 102% to $96.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $48.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in sales was due primarily to new sales channels, new product lines, and continued increase in brand awareness.

The following is a summary of the growth in the channels:

 

·Food, Drug and Mass (FDM) is a new distribution channel for us in 2014, which was launched in fourth quarter 2013 and accounted for $10.2 million of our sales increase.

 

·International distribution channel has been another key area of growth in 2014, with an increase of $22.7 million, or 148%, to $38.0 million compared to $15.3 million during the same period 2013.

This increase in discounts and sales allowances is due to promotions surrounding our Arnold Schwarzenegger product line during the Arnold Fitness Expo during first quarter of 2014. Our Arnold product line is a new product line that we developed and co-branded with Arnold Schwarzenegger and was launched in September 2013.

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales as a percent of net sales decreased by 1.1 percentage points to 65.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from the same period in 2013. Of this decrease, 1.7 percentage points was due to higher margins realized on Biozone product sales, 0.2 percentage points of the decrease was due to the effect of vendor rebates and early payment discounts taken in 2014 and not taken in 2013, and 0.3 percentage points of the decrease was due to improved product pricing from our vendors. These decreases were offset by a 1.1 percentage point increase in shipping expense.

  

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $30.6 million as compared to $19.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, a 57% increase.

 

Advertising and promotion expenses increased $6.7 million, or 119%, to $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $5.6 million for the same period in 2013. Of this increase, $4.0 million was for expenses in conjunction with strategic partnership agreements.

Salaries and benefits were $11.1 million, or 12% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 up from $2.8 million, or 6.0% of revenue for the same period in 2013.

Professional fees decreased by $7.1 million from $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The majority of the decrease in 2014 was due to consulting fees related to the recapitalization of the Company in 2013 of $6.6 million. Additionally, consulting fees decreased by $0.5 million year over year due to finalization of legacy consulting agreement during 2013 and 2014. During the quarter the Company received confirmation from our insurance carrier that certain legal fees and expenses related to the SEC investigation would be reimbursable under our existing insurance policies, and as such, we recognized a $1.3 million receivable for those legal fees and expenses. Professional fees would have been $2.0 million for the period without giving effect to the insurance recovery receivable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s cash position is as follows:

The following table summarizes total current assets, liabilities and working capital at June 30, 2014, compared to December 31, 2013.

  

   June 30, 2014   December 31, 2013   Working Capital

Working Capital  $22,074,585   $12,157,959   $9,916,626 

 

Product sales have been the primary source of generating working capital and free cash flow. At June 30, 2014 we had cash of $3.8 million and working capital of $22.1 million, compared to cash of $5.4 million and working capital of $12.2 million at December 31, 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company increased working capital $9.9 million mainly from positive cash flows. The following is a summary of the use the positive cash flow; 1) funded a $3.2 million increase in inventory for anticipated continued growth of product sales, 2) supported a $4.8 million increase in customer accounts receivable balances, 3) paid down $1.3 million, net in accounts payable and accruals, 4) funded $2.7 million, net, for prepaid operating expenses, and 5) to acquire $2.4 million of capital assets to support business expansion.

 

The Company’s management believes that with continued growth and increased sales expansion, we will be able to fund operations with operating cash flow; however, the Company is evaluating opportunities for asset-based lending arrangements with various banking institutions to enable us to further execute our business plan, which includes buying more inventory, broadening the sales platform, and expanding overseas operations. We are currently in negotiations for a line of credit arrangement with a financial institution for $8 million, and we expect the line of credit to be in place by mid-third quarter 2014.

 

Our net consolidated cash inflows (outflows) are as follows:

 

   Six Months Ended June 30, 
   2014   2013 
Operating Activities  $539,888   $(5,173,958)
Investing Activities   315,632    (344,418)
Financing Activities   (2,516,902)   14,168,061 
Effect of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents   18,707    6,076 
Net (decrease) increase in cash  $(1,642,675)  $8,655,761 

 

29
 

 

Cash provided by operating activities was $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to our net income of $3.1 million being positively adjusted for non-cash items including depreciation of $0.6 million, amortization of employee and director stock compensation of $4.5 million, amortization of non-employee prepaid stock expense of $1.6 million, amortization of prepaid sponsorships of $3.4 million, amortization of intangibles of $0.6 million. These were partially offset by $0.1 million of various other non-cash adjustments to net income and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $13.2 million. These changes in operating assets and liabilities included a $4.8 million increase in accounts receivable, $2.9 million increase in prepaid assets, $3.1 million increase in inventory, $2.7 million decrease in accounts payable, and a $1.3 increase in insurance recovery receivables. These were offset by a decrease in accrued liabilities of $1.1 million, a decrease in other assets of $0.2 million, and an increase in other long-term liabilities of $0.3 million.

  

Cash provided by investing activities was $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 due to the release of the restriction on our restricted cash of $2.5 million and proceeds from the sale of the Fuse note of $0.2 million. These were offset by purchases of property and equipment of $2.4 million.

 

Cash used in financing activities was $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 due to the repayment of our line of credit with US Bank.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2014, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangement as defined in item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and form the basis for the following discussion and analysis on critical accounting policies and estimates. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a regular basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates and those differences could have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations. Management has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of these estimates with the Board of Directors and Audit Committee.

 

A summary of our significant accounting policies is provided in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report. We believe the critical accounting policies and estimates described in Note 2 reflect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. The impact and any associated risks on our business that are related to these policies are also discussed throughout this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” where such policies affect reported and expected financial results. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in annual report on Form 10-K filed on March 31, 2014.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") amended the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. The amendments are based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. MusclePharm is required to adopt the amendments in the first quarter of 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. MusclePharm is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments and the transition alternatives on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

580 Garcia Properties, LLC vs. Biozone Laboratories, Inc.

 

On March 27, 2014, Plaintiff 580 Garcia Properties, LLC, filed a lawsuit for unlawful detainer in California Superior Court in Contra Costa County, Case No. PS14-0407, against Defendants Biozone Laboratories, Inc., a California corporation, and Biozone Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Nevada corporation (together, “Biozone”). The lawsuit seeks judicial determination of lease termination based on the landlords’ refusal to consent to lease assignment as well as incidental damages for alleged rental value even though rent payments are current, and attorney’s fees. On March 21, 2014 the Company received an eviction notice for our Biozone facility at 580 Garcia Avenue, Pittsburg, CA. The Company believes that this legal action is without merit and intends to defend this cause of action. However, if this matter is adversely determined against us, the Company is unable to quantify the amount of damages it would incur, including without limitation, moving expenses. The Company is entitled to indemnification from Biozone pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated November 12, 2013, by and among MusclePharm Corporation, a Nevada corporation, Biozone Laboratories, Inc., a Nevada corporation, Biozone Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Nevada corporation, Biozone Laboratories, Inc., a California corporation, Baker Cummins Corp. a Nevada corporation, and an indemnity agreement executed by Biozone in favor of the Company. The Company is entitled to bring indemnity claims against Biozone for this cause of action as well as other potential claims on or before the date which is nine months from January 2, 2014.

Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
