MusclePharm Corporation and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(September 30, 2013)

(Unaudited)

Note 1: Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations

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

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

Basis of Presentation

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

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

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

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

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

Use of Estimates

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

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

Risks and Uncertainties

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

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable represents trade obligations from customers that are subject to normal trade collection terms. Prior to July 1, the accounts receivable were sent directly to the Company’s third party manufacturer and netted with any outstanding liabilities to the manufacturer. Subsequent to July 1, the Company took over the receipt and processing of accounts receivable. The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and considers the need to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical collection experience and specific customer information. Accordingly, the actual amounts could vary from the recorded allowances. There is also a review of customer discounts at the period end and an accrual made for discounts earned but not yet received by quarter end.

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

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

	As of September 30, 2013		As of December 31, 2012
Accounts receivable	$	11,833,677	$	4,416,193
Less: allowance for discounts		(750,000)		(1,088,720)
Less: allowance for doubtful accounts		(172,238)		(25,129)
Accounts receivable – net	$	10,911,439	$	3,302,344

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

Customer	As of September 30, 2013			As of December 31, 2012
A		20	%		24	%
B		16	%		6	%
C		15	%		20	%

Inventory

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

Prepaid Giveaways

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

Prepaid Sponsorship Fees

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

Property and Equipment

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

Website Development Costs

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

Long-Lived Assets

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

⋅

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

⋅

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

⋅

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

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

	As of September 30, 2013		As of December 31, 2012
Assets
Debt securities (Level 2)	$	925,574	$	-
Derivative instruments – Biozone warrants (Level 2)		1,692,351		-
		2,617,925		-

Liabilities
Derivative liabilities (Level 2)	$	1,895,085	$	-

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

MusclePharm Corporation and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(September 30, 2013)

(Unaudited)

Due to the thinly traded nature of the underlying stock of the debt securities and derivative instrument above, the Company has classified them as Level 2 inputs, and has employed a lattice pricing model for valuation purposes. Refer to Notes 5 and 6 for further details of the valuation.

Debt Securities

The Company classifies its investment securities as either held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading. The Company’s debt securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported in shareholders’ equity under accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). See Note 5 for further discussion of the Company’s debt securities.

Revenue Recognition

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

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

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

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

Sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Sales	$	31,080,225	$	20,627,691	$	84,519,744	$	58,799,563

Discounts		(5,736,257)		(2,053,965)		(11,134,551)		(8,235,817)

Cost of Sales

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

Shipping and Handling

Prior to March 1, 2013 MusclePharm used a manufacturer from Tennessee to ship directly to our customers. After that date, MusclePharm took control of the shipping and began shipping products from a previously leased, 152,000 square foot distribution center in Franklin, Tennessee.

Prior to June 30, 2013, our products were transported from our manufacturer to the MusclePharm distribution center, but title did not pass from the manufacturer until loaded on the truck for shipment to the customer. As a result, MusclePharm did not take title to our products.

On July 1, 2013, the Company terminated a distribution agreement dated November 17, 2010 with one of our key product manufacturers in which the manufacturer received and fulfilled customer sales orders for a majority of our products. In connection with the termination of the agreement, the Company took control of customer order fulfillment through our Franklin, Tennessee warehouse. The facility is operated with the Company’s equipment and employees.

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

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

Advertising and Promotion Expenses

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. 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 to 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.

Advertising and promotion expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012

Advertising	$	4,043,064	$	2,599,691	$	9,635,642	$	6,576,531

Beneficial Conversion Feature

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

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

Accounts payable and Accrued Liabilities

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

Debt

The Company defines short term debt as any debt payment due less than one year from the date of the financial statements. Long term debt is defined as any debt payment due more than one year from the date of the financial statements. Refer to Note 7 for further disclosure of debt liabilities.

Derivative Instruments

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.

Deferred Equity Costs

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

Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount

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

Original Issue Discount

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

Share-Based Payments

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

Earnings (loss) Per Share

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

MusclePharm Corporation and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(September 30, 2013)

(Unaudited)

The Company uses an “if converted” method to determine whether there is a dilutive effect of outstanding option and warrant contracts. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 the Company reflected net loss and a dilutive net loss, respectively, and the effect of considering any common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive for these periods. Therefore, separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented.

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

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2013		2012
Stock options (exercise price - $425/share)		472		1,847
Warrants (exercise price $4 – $1,275/share)		288,089		4,990
Convertible debt (exercise price $17/share)		-		2,471
Total common stock equivalents		288,561		9,308

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

Foreign Currency

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

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 3: Property and Equipment

Property and equipment consisted of the following at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

Note 4: Inventory

On July 1, 2013, the Company terminated a Distribution Agreement dated November 17, 2010 with one of our key product manufacturers in which the manufacturer received and fulfilled customer sales orders for a majority of our products as more fully discussed in the “Shipping and Handling” section of Note 2 above. In connection with the termination of the agreement, we purchased an aggregate $4,664,421 of product inventory, and the Company took over control of customer order fulfillment through our Franklin, Tennessee warehouse.

Inventory consisted of the following at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

		As of September 30, 2013		As of December 31, 2012
Product Inventory		9,633,164		257,975

The Company reserves for obsolete and slow moving inventory based on the age of the product as determined by the expiration date. Products within one year of their expiration dates are considered for reserve purposes. Historically, we have had minimal returns, and any damaged packaging is sent back to the manufacturer for replacement. The Company has determined that an inventory reserve was immaterial as of September 30, 2013.

Note 5: Debt Securities

On August 26, 2013, the Company purchased, for an aggregate $2,000,000, a secured convertible promissory note from Biozone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Biozone”) (OTC:BZNE) that matures one year from the date of issuance, and certain derivative instruments (Note 6), the value of which was recorded as a discount to the note to be accreted over the note’s term. In addition, a change of control put option was identified but is not recorded as a derivative because the value was determined to be deminimus. The promissory note bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum, is convertible at any time prior to the maturity date into 10,000,000 shares of Biozone common stock at the conversion rate of $0.20 per share, and contains certain put and call features. The Company’s ability to convert into Biozone Common Stock is restricted by a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% of the number of the common stock outstanding after giving effect to the issuance of common stock issuable upon conversion. This conversion limit can be changed by the Company upon at least 60 days’ notice.

The Company has classified this note as a Level 2 available-for-sale security and has engaged an independent third party firm to value the note and its embedded conversion features each reporting period. Changes in the reported value of the note will be included as a component of other comprehensive income. The note had a fair value on the purchase date of $1,955,462, which was purchased at a $44,538 premium. The premium has been netted against the discount of $1,248,292 attributable to the derivative instrument and will be accreted to interest income over the stated maturity of the note. The debt security is recorded at fair value net of any recorded discount not yet accreted. As of September 30, 2013, the portion of the discount not yet accreted was $1,132,863.

The following table summarizes the Company’s marketable securities activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2013:

	Convertible Note
FV of debt security on 8/26/13	$	1,955,462
Premium on purchase date		44,538
Discount for value of derivative instrument		(1,248,292)
Accretion of net discount		115,428
Unrealized gain in OCI		58,438
Balance – September 30, 2013	$	925,574

See Note 15(c) for subsequent event related to this debt security.

Note 6: Derivative Instrument

In conjunction with the purchase of the convertible promissory note discussed in Note 5, the Company received a callable warrant to purchase up to 10,000,000 shares of Biozone at an exercise price of $0.40 with an expiration date of 10 years from the date of issuance. The initial value of the warrant was $1,248,292 and was recorded as a discount against the note. The Company’s ability to exercise the warrant is limited by a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% of the number of the common shares outstanding in Biozone after giving effect to the exercise of the warrant.

The Company has classified the warrant as Level 2 inputs, and engaged an independent third party firm to value the warrant. The warrant was valued using a binomial lattice pricing model where the option value is calculated using a backward induction process.

This model considers price volatility, time, and dilutive effect of exercising. The pricing model assumes a volatility of 70% at the dates of purchase and period end.

The debt holders are entitled, at their option, to convert all or part of the principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion prices and terms discussed above. The Company classifies embedded conversion features in these notes as a derivative liability due to management’s assessment that the Company may not have sufficient authorized number of shares of common stock required to net-share settle or due to the existence of a ratchet due to an anti-dilution provision. See Note 8 regarding accounting for derivative liabilities.

Note 8: Derivative Liabilities

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

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

Derivative liability - December 31, 2012	$	-
Fair value at the commitment date for equity instruments		8,175,459
Fair value at the commitment date for warrants issued		96,913
Fair value mark to market adjustment for equity instruments		5,408,089
Fair value mark to market adjustment for warrants		58,453
Conversion instruments exercised or settled		(11,843,829)
Derivative liability – September 30, 2013	$	1,895,085

The Company recorded the day 1 value of derivative contracts associated with the Series D preferred stock issuance against gross proceeds raised, and expensed immediately the remaining value of the derivative as it exceeded the gross proceeds of the offering. The Company recorded a derivative expense of $96,913 and $4,409,214 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

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

	Commitment Date			Re-measurement Date
Expected dividends		0	%		0	%
Expected volatility		118% - 123	%		72	%
Expected term:		1 year			1 year
Risk free interest rate		0.14% - 0.15	%		0.10	%

Note 9: Restricted Stock

In November 2012, the Company granted our former Executive Vice President and Co-Chairman, Mr. John H. Bluher, 70,589 restricted stock units through a restricted stock unit agreement. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock upon vesting. The value of this award at the grant date was $245,400 and will be amortized over the vesting periods such that each tranche of restricted stock units will be fully amortized at the date of vesting. The restricted stock units vest in one tranche of 23,529 on January 1, 2013 and two tranches of 23,530 shares on January 1, 2014 and December 1, 2014. As of September 30, 2013, 23,529 restricted stock units have vested and the unamortized portion of this award is $102,418. See Note 15(A) for further discussion on Mr. Bluher’s rights to receive restricted stock pursuant to his separation agreement.

In November 2012, the Company granted the Chief Financial Officer, Mr. L. Gary Davis, 58,824 restricted stock units through a restricted stock unit agreement. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock upon vesting. The value of this award at the grant date was $204,500 and will be amortized over the vesting periods such that each tranche of restricted stock units will be fully amortized at the date of vesting. The restricted stock units vest in three tranches of 19,608 shares each on January 1, 2013 and 2014, and December 1, 2014. As of September 30, 2013, 19,608 restricted stock units have vested and the unamortized portion of this award is $85,348.

In June 2013, the Company approved a restricted stock award to certain key employees, officers and directors for 1,550,000 cumulative shares. The awarded shares were issued upon the award’s approval with ownership rights to be conveyed upon vesting. The value of this award at the grant date was $17,065,500. Of these shares, the Company estimates that 1,500,200 shares will fully vest for a total value of $16,517,202. This amount will be amortized over the vesting periods such that each tranche’s estimated shares of restricted stock will be fully amortized at the dates of vesting. The Company will periodically review this estimate for reasonableness and make adjustments as appropriate. The award vests in two tranches with 17% vesting December 31, 2013 and the remaining 83% vesting December 31, 2015 with the exception of certain executives under employment agreements that terminate prior to December 31, 2015. These awards will be amortized over the remaining term of their employment agreements. As of September 30, 2013, zero shares have vested, 2,500 shares have been returned and the unamortized portion of this award is $15,066,634.

Note 10: Stockholders’ Equity

The Company has three and four separate series of authorized preferred stock at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively:

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

(A) Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

This class of stock has the following provisions:

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

(B) Series B Preferred Stock (Related Parties)

In August 2011, the Company issued an aggregate of 51 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to two of its officers. The Company accounted for the share issuance at par value as there was no future economic value that could be associated with the issuance. In September 2013, the outstanding 51 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were returned to the Company and retired. Pursuant to the certificate of designation, these shares were added back to general preferred stock pool upon their surrender and are not available for reissuance as Series B Preferred Stock without a new designation.

This class of stock has the following provisions:

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

(C) Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

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

	17

MusclePharm Corporation and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(September 30, 2013)

(Unaudited)

This class of stock has the following provisions:

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

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

(D) Series D Convertible Preferred Stock

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

The shares of Series D have the following provisions:

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

(C) Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company is or may become involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business or otherwise. Legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties as to timing, outcomes, costs, expenses and time expenditures by the Company’s management and others on behalf of the Company. Although there can be no assurance, based on information currently available the Company’s management believes that the outcome of legal proceedings that are pending or threatened against the Company will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition. However, the outcome of any of these matters is neither probable nor reasonably estimable.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company was a party defendant in the following legal proceedings, each of which the Company: (a) believes is without merit; and (b) intends to defend vigorously:

⋅

The Tawnsaura Group, LLC v MusclePharm Corporation, Case No: 8:12-cv-01476-JVS-RNB in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Date instituted: September 12, 2012. Plaintiff alleges patent infringement for MusclePharm's use of Citrulline Malate in its products. To date, Plaintiff has filed against over 70 different manufacturers of dietary supplements and sports nutrition products. MusclePharm is part of a joint defense group and believes this case is without merit due to the existence of prior art. The Company reached a settlement with the Tawnsaura Group effective October 1, 2013 for $5,000. This settlement is included in General and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

William Bossung and Bishop Equity Partners LLC v. MusclePharm Corporation, Clark County, Nevada District Court. Date instituted: January 17, 2012. Plaintiff alleges that additional monetary payments are due in respect of a settlement for outstanding warrants. The Company reached a settlement with William Bossung and Bishop Equity Partners LLC effective September 30, 2013 for 25,000 shares of fully vested restricted shares of MusclePharm Common Stock. The full value of the settlement of $255,500 is included in General and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

⋅

Nageen Dehesh v MusclePharm Corporation, Case No: SC120793 in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles West District. Date instituted: May 30, 2012. Plaintiff alleges she is owed payment for introducing MusclePharm to investors and/or raising capital. Plaintiff is not a licensed broker dealer and there was no agreement between the parties.

In July 2013 Harcol sent written correspondence to MusclePharm alleging infringement of a certain patent by MusclePharm and was contemplating legal action against the Company. MusclePharm denies any infringement of the patent in question, and in an effort to avoid the risk and expense of litigation, reached a settlement with Harcol effective October 1, 2013. The settlement provided for a payment of $65,000 in exchange for an exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, fully-paid up, royalty free license under the patent in question. The payment of $65,000 is included as a component of General and Administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

(D) Payroll Taxes

As of September 30, 2013, accounts payable and accrued expenses included $78,081 pertaining to accrued payroll taxes. The taxes represent employee withholdings that have yet to be remitted to the taxing agencies.

(E) Product Liability

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 $5,000,000. At September 30, 2013, the Company had not recorded any accruals for product liability claims.

(F) Other Liabilities and Regulatory Matters

Subsequent to December 31, 2012, the Company determined that it may have potential liabilities related to the filing of certain informational returns required by governmental authorities. Management has developed a plan to address these matters and does not currently expect a significant adverse impact on its financial position or results of operations.

(G) W-2 Correction

In 2012, the Company issued three executives stock as part of their performance based compensation. This compensation was not included in their 2012 earnings and the Company is now preparing to correct this matter by issuing revised Form W-2 earnings statements to each of these executives related to the 2012 stock compensation. No determination can be made as to the impact this will have on the Company, but is believed to be immaterial.

(H) SEC Investigation

The Company, following requests for information received by MusclePharm from the Denver Regional Office of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”), is reviewing its reports for the 2010 and 2011 fiscal years, which were included in financial statements issued for the 2010 and 2011 fiscal years. The Company and its auditors for the fiscal years 2010 and 2011 have voluntarily provided information to the Staff and are cooperating with Staff requests. The principal areas of the Company’s internal review relate to internal controls, disclosures of related party transactions, settlements of claims including share issuances, executive compensation, and disclosure of perquisites. The Company was recently informed that the Staff has issued a formal order of investigation of the Company. 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.

Note 12: Defined Contribution Plan

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

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

Forward-Looking Information

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

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

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

Business Overview

We develop, market and sell athlete-focused, high-quality nutritional supplements primarily to specialty resellers. Our products have been formulated to enhance active fitness regimens, including muscle building, weight loss and maintaining general fitness. Our nutritional supplements are available for purchase in over 10,000 U.S. retail outlets, including Costco, Dick’s Sporting Goods, GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, and Vitamin World. We also sell our products to over 100 online channels, including bodybuilding.com, amazon.com, gnc.com and vitacost.com. Internationally, our nutritional supplements are currently sold in over 110 countries, and we expect that international sales will be a significant part of our sales for the foreseeable future.

We started formulating our nutritional supplements in 2008 for consumption by active individuals, high performance athletes and fitness enthusiasts. We launched our sales and marketing programs in late 2008 through our internal sales executives and staff targeting specialty retail distributors.

Our wide-range variety of nutritional supplements, include Assault, Combat Powder^®, MusclePharm Musclegel^®, MusclePharm Shred Matrix^®, and Re-Con^®.

Sales - gross

Gross sales increased approximately $10.5 million or 51% to $31,080,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $20,628,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in sales was a result of the Company hiring experienced sales managers, penetrating new markets, developing new product lines and hiring strategic planning individuals to measure the efforts of marketing our product brand. The Company has added new distribution channels and products in an effort to expand our customer base. Since inception, the Company has focused on an aggressive marketing plan to penetrate the market domestically and internationally. As such, significant promotional expenditures have been made to increase product sales through adding new customers and expanding our product line.

In this quarter the Company entered into an Endorsement Licensing and Co-Branding agreement by and between Arnold Schwarzenegger, Marine MP, LLC, and Fitness Publications, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger will endorse the Company’s products and a special Arnold Schwarzenegger product line, which will be marketed under Mr. Schwarzenegger’s name and likeness. The product line was launched this quarter and accounted for approximately $3.7 million of gross sales. We believe we will continue to build on the strong sales realized in third quarter, and that the Arnold product line will account for a larger portion of our gross sales going forward. As part of the agreement, the Company must make minimum royalty payments until sales meet certain pre-determined thresholds at which time the Company will pay a percentage of net sales of the Arnold product line. Payments for minimum royalty payments are included as a component of Advertising and Promotion in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Future payments in excess of the minimum royalty will be recorded as a component of Cost of Goods Sold.

We have also realized continued growth in our FitMiss product line, which was launched in second quarter. The momentum is beginning to show increasing sales for this new product line, and accounted for approximately $982,000 of gross sales. The Company believes it has a good position for market share with a women’s line of products. The Company is also considering other new products. Overall as a direct result of our aggressive marketing plan, our products are currently being offered in more retail stores, both domestically and internationally, receiving better shelf placement, and receiving recognized awards compared to the prior period.

	25

At the 2013 Bodybuilding.com Supplement Awards, we received seven Awards of Excellence; (i) the “Recovery Supplement of the Year” award and “Amino Supplement of the Year” award for our Amino 1 products, (ii) the “Best Packaging of the Year” award, (iii) the “Men’s Support Supplement of the Year” award for our Battle Fuel XT product, (iv) the “Glutamine Supplement of the Year” award for our Glutamine product, (v) the “RTD Supplement of the Year” award for our MuscleGel product, (vi) and “Clothing Brand of the Year” for our MusclePharm Sportswear products, and MusclePharm remains the product of choice for the Ultimate Fighting Championship, UFC.

Discounts and sales allowances

Discounts and sales allowances for the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased to approximately $5,736,000 or 18.5% of gross sales as compared to $2,054,000 or 10.0% of gross sales for the three months ended September 30, 2012. This increase in discounts and allowances is primarily related to our campaign to close out and sell the remainder of our old Assault™ products due to the launch of our new pre-workout Assault™ formulation during the quarter. This Assault™ campaign resulted in additional discounts and sales allowances of approximately $1,880,000, which represents 32.8% of the total discounts for the quarter.

Sales - net

Net sales increased approximately $6.8 million or 36% to $25,344,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $18,574,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. A significant growth area for the Company was nutritional product sales in international markets. International sales are included in the results of operations and increased approximately $1.7 million or 28% to $7,891,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $6,165,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased approximately $3.3 million or 82% to $7,406,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $4,066,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The gross profit percentage increased to approximately 29% of net sales during the three months ended September 30, 2013, from 22% for the three months ended September 30, 2012. This increase was primarily due to new product pricing from our Tennessee manufacturer, taking over our own order fulfillment effective July 1, 2013, and the reduction of shipping costs. As discussed in Note 2 of the financial statements, the Company is handling its own shipping and has decreased the cost to ship product to the customer thereby increasing gross profit. Shipping expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was 2.4% of net sales down from 3.3% of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

We have experienced a decrease in cost of goods sold as a result of improved product pricing. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 the cost of goods as a percentage to sales was 58% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 of 70%. We expect to focus on streamlining our operations and seek operating efficiencies in order to further improve our gross profit percentage.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2013, increased to approximately $12,279,000, compared to approximately $7,877,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 a 56% increase. Part of the reason for this increase in Operating expenses were non-cash expenses totaling $4,241,339 as summarized in the table below.

Three months ended September 30,		2013
Professional fee stock compensation amortization	$	2,039,322
Depreciation expense		178,316
Non-cash legal settlement expense		260,000
Legal fee accrual		250,000
Employee & director restricted stock amortization		1,513,701
	$	4,241,339

The 51% increase in sales necessitated increases in our operating expenses and included $1,443,000 in the area of advertising and promotions used to promote brand and product awareness. We expect as we continue to promote our brand and products, these areas and levels of promotion will hold steady or increase relative to overall efforts to increase product awareness and sales.

Another area of increase is salaries and benefit expenses of $2,615,000. Our 51% increase in sales necessitated increases in staffing in sales, finance and operations to help support the Company’s growth.

The $4.4 million increase in operating expenses including the significant items listed above were partially offset by the decrease of $452,000 in professional fees.

Sales - gross

Gross sales increased approximately $25.7 million or 44% to $84,520,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $58,800,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in sales was due primarily to increased awareness of our product brand, combined with hiring additional sales and marketing staff, and adding new products in an effort to expand our customer base. Since inception, we have focused on an aggressive marketing plan to penetrate the market. As such, significant promotional expenditures have been made to increase product sales through adding new customers and expanding our product line.

During third quarter the Company entered into an Endorsement Licensing and Co-Branding agreement by and between Arnold Schwarzenegger, Marine MP, LLC, and Fitness Publications, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger will endorse the Company’s products and a special Arnold Schwarzenegger product line, which will be marketed under Mr. Schwarzenegger’s name and likeness. The product line was launched during third quarter and accounted for approximately $3.7 million gross sales. We believe we will continue to build on the strong sales realized in third quarter, and that the Arnold product line will account for a larger portion of our gross sales going forward. As part of the agreement, the Company must make minimum royalty payments until sales meet certain pre-determined thresholds at which time the Company will pay a percentage of net sales of the Arnold product line. Payments for minimum royalty payments are included as a component of Advertising and Promotion in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Future payments in excess of the minimum royalty will be recorded as a component of Cost of Goods Sold.

We have also realized continued growth in our FitMiss product line, which was launched in second quarter. The momentum is beginning to show increasing sales for this new product line, and accounted for $1,418,000 of gross sales. The Company believes it has a good position for market share with a women’s line of products. The Company is also considering other new products. Overall as a direct result of our aggressive marketing plan, our products are currently being offered in more retail stores, both domestically and internationally, receiving better shelf placement, and receiving recognized awards compared to the prior period.

Discounts and sales allowances

Discounts and sales allowances for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased to approximately $11,135,000 or 13.2% of gross sales as compared to $8,234,000 or 14.0% of gross sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This decrease in discounts and allowances is a result driven by continued efforts to place controls around discounting and greater efforts to define customer terms and allowances.

Sales - net

Net sales increased approximately $22,800,000 million or 45% to $73,385,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $50,564,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. A significant growth area for the Company was nutritional product sales in international markets. International sales are included in the results of operations and increased approximately $8.4 million or 54% to $24,045,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $15,620,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased approximately $13.3 million or 130% to $23,484,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $10,218,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The gross profit percentage increased to approximately 32% of net sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from 20% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This increase was primarily due to the reduction in discounts as a percentage of sales, new product pricing from our Tennessee manufacturer, taking over our own order fulfillment effective July 1, 2013, and the reduction of shipping costs. As discussed in Note 2 of the financial statements, the Company is handling its own shipping and has decreased the cost to ship product to the customer thereby increasing gross profit. Shipping expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was 2.3% of net sales down from 3.3% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

	28

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 the discounts as a percentage of gross sales was 13.2% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 of 14%. We have also experienced a decrease in cost of goods sold as a result of improved product pricing For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 the cost of goods as a percentage to sales was 59% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 of 69%. We expect to focus on streamlining our operations and seek operating efficiencies in order to further improve our gross profit percentage.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, increased to approximately $31,819,000, compared to approximately $16,421,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a 94% increase. Part of the reason for this increase in Operating expenses were non-cash expenses totaling $11,641,911 as summarized in the table below.

Nine months ended September 30,		2013
Professional fee stock compensation amortization	$	8,938,834
Depreciation expense		511,699
Non-cash legal settlement expense		320,000
Legal fee accrual		250,000
Employee & director restricted stock amortization		1,621,378
	$	11,641,911

The 44% increase in sales necessitated increases in our operating expenses and included $3,059,000 in the area of advertising and promotions used to promote brand and product awareness. We expect as we continue to promote our brand and products, these areas and levels of promotion will hold steady or increase relative to overall efforts to increase product awareness and sales. As more fully described in Note 8 above, the Company recognized expense of $1,588,000 related to amortization of compensation expense for certain employee RSUs and RSA agreements.

Another area of increase is salaries and benefit expenses of $3,809,000. Our 44% increase in sales necessitated increases in staffing in sales, finance and operations to help support the Company’s growth. The remaining increase of $1,516,000 was due to other various operating expense increases necessitated by our 44% increase in year over year sales. Included in the $1,516,000 is approximately $504,000 in settlement expenses related to various legal proceedings that the Company has been involved in during the first three quarters of 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012		Increase/Decrease

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

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

The common stock was sold pursuant to subscription agreements dated August 15, 2013 between the Company and the Purchasers. The Subscription Agreements contained customary terms regarding, among other things, representations and warranties and indemnification.

At September 30, 2013, we had cash of $5,683,656 and working capital of approximately $15,542,000 compared to cash of $0 and a working capital deficit of approximately $11,571,000 at December 31, 2012. The working capital increase of approximately $27,113,000 was primarily due to a net increase in cash of $5,684,000, an increase in accounts receivable of $7,609,000, an increase in inventory of $9,375,000, an increase in prepaid stock compensation of $3,324,000, an increase in debt securities of $926,000, an increase in derivative instruments of $1,692,000, a net increase in other current assets of $636,000, which was offset by an increase in current liabilities of $2,345,000.

Cash used in operating activities was $8,045,389 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $286,825 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in cash used in operating activities of approximately $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses of approximately $9.5 million, an increase in inventory of approximately $9.2 million, a decrease in loss on settlement expense of approximately $3.7 million, an increase in the change in fair value of derivative assets of approximately $0.4 million, and a decrease in deferred revenue of approximately $0.9 million offset by a decrease in net loss of approximately $2.2 million, an increase in depreciation of approximately $0.2 million, an increase in amortization and accretion of approximately $3.0 million, decrease in derivative expense and change in fair value of derivatives of approximately $6.6 million and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of approximately $3.0 million.

Cash used in investing activities increased to $2,928,195 from $934,823 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, due to increased spending on marketable securities, notes, and other assets offset by slightly lower spending on fixed assets. Future investments in property and equipment, as well as further development of our Internet presence will largely depend on available capital resources.

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $16,664,190 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $615,548 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The approximately $16 million increase was due primarily to the net increase of approximately $19.5 million net proceeds from equity offerings, a decrease of approximately $0.4 million in the repurchase of common stock and a decrease of approximately $0.2 million in debt issue and a decrease of approximately $0.8 million in repayment of debt offset by a decrease of approximately $4.8 million in proceeds from issuance of debt.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

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

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

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

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

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

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

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

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

Revenue Recognition

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

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

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

	32

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

Foreign Currency

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

Beneficial Conversion Feature

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

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

Derivative Assets and Liabilities

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

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

Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount

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

Original Issue Discount

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

Share-Based Payments

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(c) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”) were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in report that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

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