GENERAL INFORMATION

 

This Information Statement (“Information Statement”) has been filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), and is being furnished to the holders of the outstanding shares of common stock (par value $0.001) of FITT Highway Products, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or similar terms).  Effective June 12, 2013, pursuant to Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, the Company received, by written consent in lieu of a meeting, the approval of stockholders holding 491,301 shares of Common Stock and 105,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which represents 52.5% of the total possible vote authorizing the following action (“Action”):

 

(1) Entry into a Merger and Reorganization Agreement (the “Agreement) by and between FITT Highway Products, Inc., a Nevada corporation and F.I.T.T. Energy Products, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Energy”), whereby Energy will be merged into the Company, with the Company being the surviving entity (the “Merger”). A complete copy of the Agreement can be found as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed on June 19, 2013 and such Agreement is attached to this information statement hereto as Exhibit C .

 

Our Board of Directors (“Board”) fixed June 12, 2013 as the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote on the Actions. Stockholders holding an aggregate of 52.5% of the voting power of the Company as of June 12, 2013, with 491,301 shares of our outstanding common stock (“Common Stock”), with a power of one vote per share, plus 105,000 shares of our outstanding Series A Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”), with a power of ten (10) votes per share, collectively being equal to 52.5% of the total voting power of all of the Company’s capital stock then outstanding, have executed written consent resolutions approving the Action.  

 

As our stockholders holding 52.5% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock have already approved of the Action by written consent, we are not seeking approval for the Action from any of our remaining stockholders, nor will they be given an opportunity to vote on the Action.  All necessary corporate approvals have been obtained, and this Information Statement is being furnished solely for the purpose of providing advance notice to our stockholders of the Action, as required by the Exchange Act.

 

We will pay all costs associated with the distribution of this Information Statement, including the costs of printing and mailing.  We will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred by them in sending this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of our common stock.

 

3
 

 

Under Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14c-2 promulgated there under, the Action cannot become effective until 20 days after the date this Information Statement is sent to our stockholders. This Information Statement was mailed to our stockholders on or about September ___, 2013 (“Mailing Date”). We expect the Action to become effective approximately twenty (20) days after the Mailing Date. Therefore, the effective date of the Merger is expected to be on or about October ___, 2013 (“Effective Date”).

 

NO VOTE OR OTHER CONSENT OF OUR STOCKHOLDERS IS SOLICITED IN

CONNECTION WITH THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT.  WE ARE NOT ASKING

YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.

 

DESCRIPTION OF THE CORPORATE ACTIONS

 

Entry into Merger and Reorganization Agreement with F.I.T.T. Energy Products, Inc. whereby F.I.T.T. Energy Products, Inc. will be merged into the Company with the Company being the surviving entity.

 

Effective as of June 12, 2013, our Board executed a unanimous written consent authorizing and recommending that our stockholders approve the Company entering into a merger and reorganization agreement (the “Agreement”) whereby F.I.T.T. Energy Products, Inc. (“Energy”) would be merged into the Company with the Company being the surviving entity (the “Merger”).

 

The Company’s management has advised the Board the Company should enter into the Merger for the reasons provided below:

 

 

1. The Company’s management believes that the Merger will allow the Company to proceed forward with and expand its business operations, provide for a greater ability for the Company to raise necessary capital, and presents an opportunity to increase stockholder value.

 

Pursuant to Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting stock is sufficient to approve the Merger, which vote was obtained by a majority written consent of the holders of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock and our Series A Preferred Stock (representing an aggregate 52.5% of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock) on June 12, 2013.  On June 12, 2013, there were 1,885,949 shares of Common Stock of the Company. The voting power of the officers and directors of the Company, including the 105,000 shares of Preferred Stock voted by F.I.T.T. Energy Products, Inc., amounted to 1,541,300 out of a total of 2,935,949, which total represents the issued and outstanding Common Stock plus 1,050,000 shares per the 10-to-1 voting power of the Preferred Stock. Thus, the votes amounted to 52.5% of the total voting power of all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock of the Company. Federal securities laws state that the Merger may not be completed until 20 days after the date of mailing of this information statement the Company stockholders. Therefore, notwithstanding the execution and delivery of the written consent, the Merger will not occur until that time has elapsed. The Company expects the Effective Date of the Merger to be on or about October ___, 2013.

THE MERGER

 

This section of the information statement and the next section entitled “The Merger Agreement” describe the transaction. Although we believe that the description in this section covers the material terms of the Merger and the transactions, this summary may not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should carefully read the entire Information Statement and the other documents we refer to or incorporate by reference in this information statement for a more complete understanding of the Merger Agreement and the transactions.

 

General

 

The Merger and Reorganization Agreement provides that, as of the effective date of the Merger, F.I.T.T. Energy Products, Inc. will merge with and into the Company, and, as a result, the Company will continue in existence as the surviving corporation under the name FITT Highway Products, Inc.

 

Recommendation of the Boards

 

Taking into account all of the material facts, matters and information, including those described above, the Board of Directors of the Company and the board of managers of Energy believe that the Merger Agreement is advisable and fair to and in the best interests of each company and their respective stockholders.

 

No Independent Financial Advisor

 

Neither the Company nor Energy has engaged an independent financial advisor to consult on the relative advantages and disadvantages of the transactions.

 

Federal Securities Laws Consequences

 

The shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued to Energy Shareholders in the Merger initially will be issued with a restrictive legend until such time as they are registered and a registration statement is declared effective or they qualify for removal of the restrictive legend under federal securities regulations.  

 

Shareholders’ Meeting

 

Upon completion of the Merger, the Company will hold a shareholders’ meeting to discuss the business operations of the Company.

RISK FACTORS

 

YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING FACTORS, IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT AND THE DOCUMENTS THAT THE COMPANY HAS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. UNLESS THE CONTEXT REQUIRES OTHERWISE, THE USE OF THE COMPANIES, THE COMBINED COMPANY, “US,” OR “WE” REFERS TO THE COMBINED COMPANY OF FITT HIGHWAY PRODUCTS, INC. AND F.I.T.T. ENERGY PRODUCTS, INC. AFTER GIVING EFFECT TO THE MERGER. ADDITIONAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES NOT PRESENTLY KNOWN TO F.I.T.T. ENERGY PRODUCTS, INC. OR US OR THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY BELIEVED TO BE IMPORTANT TO YOU, IF THEY MATERIALIZE, ALSO MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MERGER AND THE PRICE OF OUR STOCK.

 

The following matters, among other things, may have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations of the Company. Reference to these factors in the context of a forward-looking statement or statements shall be deemed to be a statement that any one or more of the following factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statement or statements. Before you invest in our common stock, you should be aware of various risks, including those described below. Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider these risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this information statement, before you decide whether to purchase shares of our common stock. Our business and results of operations could be seriously harmed by any of the following risks. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose part or all of your investment.

 

Risks Related to the Company

 

Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Markets, which may limit the liquidity and price of our Common Stock more than if our Common Stock were quoted or listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market or another national securities exchange.

 

Our securities are currently quoted on the OTC Markets, Inc., an inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities. Quotation of our securities on the Bulletin Board may limit the liquidity and price of our securities more than if our securities were quoted or listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market or another national securities exchange. As an OTC quoted company, we do not attract the extensive analyst coverage that accompanies companies listed on exchanges. Further, institutional and other investors may have investment guidelines that restrict or prohibit investing in securities traded on the Bulletin Board. These factors may have an adverse impact on the trading and price of our Common Stock.

 

6
 

 

The trading price of our common stock may decrease due to factors beyond our control.

 

Our stock is currently quoted on the OTC Markets.  The stock market from time to time has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which have particularly affected the market prices for emerging growth companies and which often have been unrelated to the operating performance of the companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. If our shareholders sell substantial amounts of their common stock in the public market, the price of our common stock could fall. These sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity, or equity-related securities, in the future at a price we deem appropriate.   

 

The application of the “penny stock” rules could adversely affect the market price of our common shares and increase your transaction costs to sell those shares.

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted rule 3a51-1 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.   

 

We do not pay dividends on our Common Stock.

 

We have not paid any dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. We plan to retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business.

 

Failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act Of 2002 could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.

 

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“the Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) requires that we establish and maintain an adequate internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting and include a report of management on our internal control over financial reporting in our annual report on Form 10-K. That report must contain an assessment by management of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that we have identified.

 

Risks Relating to the Merger

 

The Company and Energy may not achieve the benefits they expect from the Merger, which may have a material adverse effect on the companies’ business, financial, and operating results.

 

The Company and Energy intend to enter into the Merger Agreement with the expectation that the Merger will result in benefits to the combined company arising out of the combination of the businesses of the Company and Energy and an active trading market for Company’s common stock. To realize any benefits from the Merger, the combined company’s stock must continue to trade on the OTC Market following the Merger.  

 

7
 

 

The issuance of shares of the Company’s Common Stock to Energy Shareholders in the Merger will substantially dilute the percentage ownership interests of current Company stockholders.

 

If the Merger is completed, it is anticipated that the Company will issue to Energy Shareholders approximately 33,000,000 shares in connection with the Merger. Upon completion of the Merger, the former Energy Shareholders will be issued shares of our common stock, representing in the aggregate up to approximately 95% of Company’s outstanding common stock on a fully-diluted basis immediately following the Merger.

 

The number of Shares to be issued to Energy Shareholders is dependent on a third-party valuation report which will be completed prior to the closing of the Merger.

 

The Board of Directors of the Company entered into the Merger Agreement with Energy without having begun or completed an independent valuation of Energy. The terms of the Merger Agreement requires that Energy is valued at a number at least nine (9) times that of the Company. If the valuation comes back at less than that, Energy has the right to terminate the Merger. If the valuation does not come back at a number acceptable for Energy to proceed forward, the Company’s operations and financial results will be materially adversely affected. Furthermore, because the terms of the Merger Agreement rely on the third-party valuation, the number of Shares to be issued to Energy shareholders and the dilution that will occur pursuant to the Merger is entirely dependent on the third-party valuation, over which management of the Company has no control.

 

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

 

General

 

Company shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger based on their own circumstances, as well as the effects of state, local, non-U.S. tax laws and U.S. tax laws other than income tax laws.

 

Accounting Treatment

 

It is anticipated that the Merger will be treated as a recapitalization of Energy under generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statement

 

1.          Business and Management’s Plan of Operation

 

Reverse Stock Split

On November 5, 2012, our Board of Directors approved researching a recapitalization of our company. Based on the results of the research, on November 29, 2012, the Board executed a unanimous written consent authorizing and recommending that our stockholders approve a proposal to institute a one-for-sixty (1:60) reverse stock split. On the same day, holders of a majority of the voting power of all shares of our common and preferred stock entitled to vote, by written consent in lieu of a special meeting of our stockholders, approved the following action: perform a one-for-sixty (1:60) reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock while maintaining the number of authorized shares at 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock (the “Reverse Split”). On January 13, 2013 we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a Schedule 14C Definitive Information Statement notifying our shareholders of the Reverse Split and on January 23, 2013 such notice was mailed to our shareholders. The reverse split became effective February 12, 2013. All references to shares and per share information in these financial statements have been restated to give effect to the Reverse Split.

 

Business

FITT Highway Products, Inc. (the “Company”) is in the business of the manufacturing (on an outsource basis), distribution and sale of energy drinks. Our current active product is a two-ounce energy shot named “F.I.T.T. Energy for Life” (the “FITT Energy Shot”).

 

We have significant debt that was incurred, for the most part, under previous management. As a result of this significant debt, and other factors, third parties performing marketing, production and fulfillment services have been unwilling to enter into agreements directly with us. In addition, we have been unable to attract necessary investment dollars to conduct operations. Therefore, effective August 12, 2010 we entered into an operating agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) with F.I.T.T. Energy Products, Inc. (“FITT”), a separate entity controlled by certain of our investors and management and whose largest shareholder is our CEO. Under the agreement, FITT is performing a majority of the operating functions for the FITT Energy Shot, and is recording all related results of operations. In exchange, FITT is obligated to pay us a royalty of $0.05 per bottle sold of the FITT Energy Shot.

 

Management’s Plan of Operations

Our revenues, and related cash flow, are presently limited to the receipt of royalties from FITT of $0.05 per bottle sold of the FITT Energy Shot. FITT is not obligated to pay us royalties for any additional products it has developed and funded. As such, we are currently dependent upon the success of FITT’s operating capabilities with respect to the FITT Energy Shot.

 

In October 2011, FITT entered into an exclusive Master Marketing Agreement with GRIPS Marketing Corporation (“GRIPS”). GRIPS is managed by an individual with over 40 years’ experience marketing a variety of products to convenience stores and other retail outlets, and who has long-term relationships with some major distributors that service those outlets. In April 2012, with the assistance of GRIPS, FITT received a letter from a national distributor in which the distributor agreed to team up with FITT to distribute FITT’s energy products, including the FITT Energy Shot, to the distributor’s customer base. The distributor’s plan was to launch FITT’s products in California, Nevada and Arizona, then move across the country to other divisions. During the second quarter of 2012, FITT began shipping the FITT Energy Shot, along with other products it has developed, to the distributor who then shipped the products to certain of its convenience store customers in the regions identified.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had no significant revenues. This was primarily due to a lack of operating capital, our decision in prior years to temporarily suspend our sales activity to focus on a new marketing strategy and product development, and our Operating Agreement with FITT.  In 2010 we began a program to compromise debt, and for the year ended December 31, 2012 we experienced net income of nearly $1.6 million, principally as a result of gains from our continuing debt compromise program. Excluding said non-cash gains, we continued to incur significant operating losses for 2012 as we did in 2011, and continue to have a significant working capital deficit. Our goal has been, and continues to be, to compromise our debt at a rate of no more than $0.10 per one dollar of debt. We believe that, until the debt can be compromised, we will be unable to operate in the normal course of business and our ability to attract capital will continue to be greatly impaired. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. See Note 3 for a summary of our progress toward the compromise of our debt.

 

20
 

 

During the first quarter of 2012, FITT proposed negotiating a business combination with us if (1) we are able to mitigate our debt to their satisfaction, (2) assets in the merged entity would be protected from claims of our prior creditors, and (3) our Board of Directors and shareholders approve the proposed business combination agreement once it is negotiated. In proposing such a negotiation, FITT also requires that an independent appraisal be obtained to support any exchange of securities in the transaction. On November 5, 2012, our Board of Directors approved commencing formal negotiations with FITT in this regard, but at this point, there can be no assurance that such negotiations will result in an agreement.

 

Management continues to seek capital through various sources, but given the present economic environment and our current financial condition, management is not confident it can attract any capital without significantly mitigating our debt. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

2.          Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Our significant estimates relate to the assessment of contingencies related to pending or threatened litigation, and the valuation of stock awards, options and warrants to purchase common stock.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risks

We will invest any cash balances we may have through high-credit quality financial institutions.  From time to time, we may maintain bank account levels in excess of FDIC insurance limits.  If the financial institution in which we have our accounts has financial difficulties, any cash balances in excess of the FDIC limits could be at risk.

 

There were no accounts receivable at either December 31, 2012 or 2011. In addition, there were no sales during either 2012 or 2011 – only minor royalty revenue in 2012.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of five years.  Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line basis over the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the term of the related lease.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows the guidance of ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure. Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of our Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

21
 

 

Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, we did not have any level 1, 2, or 3 assets or liabilities.

 

Debt Issued with Common Stock

Debt issued with common stock is accounted for under the guidelines established by ASC 470-20 – Accounting for Debt With Conversion or Other Options. We record the relative fair value of common stock related to the issuance of convertible debt as a debt discount or premium.  The discount or premium is subsequently amortized to interest expense over the expected term of the convertible debt.

 

Income Taxes

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.  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.  Due to historical net losses, a valuation allowance has been established to offset the deferred tax assets.

  

Revenue Recognition

Royalty revenue is recorded when earned in accordance with the underlying agreement. Revenue can be recognized as earned when 1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, 2) delivery has occurred, 3) the price is fixed and determinable, and 4) collection is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized on the date of sale of the product when transfer of legal title has occurred.

 

Net Income (Loss) per Share

Basic and diluted net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had outstanding warrants to purchase zero and 4,736 common shares, respectively. The exercise prices of all warrants were in excess of the average closing price of our common stock during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. At December 31, 2012, we had 105,000 shares of redeemable preferred stock, which were issued in May 2012, convertible into an equal amount of our common shares. The weighted average number of shares of common stock of the convertible preferred stock were included in the calculation of diluted net income per share for the year ended December 31, 2012 (65,984 shares).

 

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for our stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 – Stock Compensation. We account for all stock-based compensation using a fair-value method on the grant date and recognizes the fair value of each award as an expense over the requisite vesting period.

 

Accounting for Equity Instruments Issued to Non-Employees

We account for our equity-based payments to non-employees under ASC 505 – Equity. The fair value of the equity instrument issued or committed to be issued is used to measure the transaction, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received. The fair value is measured at the value of our common stock on the date the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty’s performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to the statement of operations and credited to common stock and/or additional paid-in capital as appropriate.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements  

In December 2011, the FASB issued changes to the disclosure of offsetting assets and liabilities. These changes require an entity to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The enhanced disclosures will enable users of an entity's financial statements to understand and evaluate the effect or potential effect of master netting arrangements on an entity's financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments. These changes become effective for us on January 1, 2013. Management does not believe the adoption of these changes will have an impact on our financial statements.

 

The FASB issues ASUs to amend the authoritative literature in ASC. There have been a number of ASUs to date that amend the original text of ASC. We believe those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to our Company or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact on us.

3.          Debt Compromise Program

 

As stated in Note 1, we have significant debt that was incurred, for the most part, under previous management, and we are continuing with our program to compromise this debt in a substantial way. Our goal is to settle the debt at an overall rate of no more than $0.10 per one dollar of debt. During 2012, through actions conducted by our legal counsel, we reached tentative verbal settlement agreements with certain of our creditors and, subsequent to December 31, 2012, a number of these verbal settlements were finalized. With respect to any remaining verbal settlements, nothing definitive is yet in place. In addition, we determined that the statute of limitations for certain of our creditors to enforce collection of any amounts they might be owed has now, or will soon elapse. We have written off those accounts for which the statute of limitations has expired. The Company also reviewed any claims or liens on these accounts before mitigation. Finally, we determined that certain debt will not be owed based on non-performance by certain creditors. Based on our negotiations and determinations, we have during the year ended December 31, 2012, or may in the near future, reduce our balance sheet debt as shown below:

 

    2012     Future Periods  
Accounts payable   $ 344,450     $ 324,570  
Accrued expenses     164,297       77,827  
Accrued compensation     138,302        
Accrued litigation     1,790,000        
Notes payable     200,000       302,000  
Advances from related parties     20,000        
    $ 2,657,049     $ 704,397  

  

Amounts written-off in 2012 include $1,790,000 in settled litigation obligations (see Note 11), $61,000 in canceled notes payable and accrued interest thereon and $806,049 for other factors, mainly due to the expiration of statute of limitations.

 

Amounts to be written-off in future periods include $653,406 in settled obligations which were finalized and funded during the first quarter of 2013 and $50,991 due to the expiration of statute of limitations. Funding of $150,000 for the obligations settled in the first quarter of 2013 was arranged with third party investors. See Note 16 for more information. As of December 31, 2012, under the condition that statutes of limitations continue to pass on certain creditor balances, we anticipate future write-offs will be made in the following periods ending:

 

      Total     Settled Obligations     Statute Expiring  
March 31, 2013     $ 696,713     $ 653,406     $ 43,307  
June 30, 2013       875             875  
September 30, 2013       6,809             6,809  
        $ 704,397     $ 653,406     $ 50,991  

  

Amounts expected to be compromised in future periods identified above are dependent on the continued willingness of our creditors to honor tentative verbal settlement agreements and the inability of creditors to enforce collection after certain statute of limitations expires. Management cannot make any assurances that such conditions will be met.

 

23
 

 

4.          Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment consist of the following at December 31:

 

    2012     2011  
Furniture and fixtures   $ 6,536     $ 6,536  
Computers     4,884       4,884  
Software     2,584       2,584  
      14,004       14,004  
Less accumulated depreciation     (13,796 )     (13,253 )
    $ 208     $ 751  

 

Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $543 and $977, respectively.

 

5.          Accounts Payable

 

During 2012 we wrote-off $344,450 in accounts payable mainly as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitation for creditors to enforce collection of their debt. In addition, our legal counsel reached tentative verbal settlement agreements to settle certain accounts payable obligations totaling $273,579, and subsequent to December 31, 2012, we were able to finalize and fund these settlements. See Notes 3 and 16 for further information. We also expect to write-off an additional $50,991 in accounts payable in future periods due to the expiration of the statute of limitations to enforce collection. Such write-offs are dependent upon the absence of additional claims on aged balances expected to be written off.

 

Accounts payable at December 31, 2012 consists of the following:

 

Owed to ongoing vendors   $ 332,632  
Owed from prior settlements     100,000  
Owed – attempting to settle     53,358  
To be written-off in future periods:        
   Settled – agreements finalized in first quarter of 2013     273,579  
   Statute of limitations to expire (Note 3)     50,991  
    $ 810,560  

  

Amounts owed to ongoing vendors are mainly the result of obligations for legal, accounting and outside director fees which are necessary to maintain our status as a fully reporting public company.

 

6.          Accrued Expenses

 

Accrued expenses consist of the following at:

 

    2012     2011  
Accrued interest – note payable to Distributor   $ 40,327     $ 34,571  
Accrued interest – notes payable - bridge loans           7,000  
Accrued interest – notes payable  - other           80,700  
Other     37,800       107,148  
    $ 78,127     $ 229,419  

  

During 2012 we extinguished accrued expenses totaling $164,297 in connection with compromising our debt. Accrued interest on Notes Payable – Bridge Loans was extinguished along with the cancellation of those notes based on agreements with the creditors. Accrued interest on the Notes Payable – Other was eliminated as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations for creditors to enforce collection of their debt. See Note 8. Also written off due to statute of limitations expiration was other accrued expenses totaling $59,347.

 

24
 

 

Subsequent to December 31, 2012, we finalized and funded a settlement agreement for our Note Payable – Distributor settlement (to which the $40,327 accrued interest relates) and for our Note Payable – Trademark settlement (to which $37,500 of other accrued expenses relates). During the first quarter of 2013, these amounts will be written-off as more fully discussed in Note 8.

 

7.          Accrued Compensation

 

Accrued compensation consists of the following at:

 

    2012     2011  
Accrued officers (and former officers) compensation   $ 669,117     $ 554,382  
Other accrued compensation     210,230       116,362  
Accrued payroll taxes – delinquent     277,800       269,663  
Accrued payroll taxes on accrued payroll (not yet due)     123,085       101,635  
Other           4,386  
    $ 1,280,232     $ 1,046,428  

  

During 2012 we wrote-off $138,302 in accrued compensation as a result of a number of factors including the expiration of the statute of limitation for creditors to enforce collection of their debt. Due to a continuing lack of capital, we have been unable to pay the majority of the compensation owed to our officers and employees. In addition, in 2007 and 2008, our prior management did not pay certain federal and state payroll tax obligations and they became delinquent. The delinquent tax amounts shown above consist of

  

   

2012

   

2011

 
Federal – trust fund portion   $ 107,334     $ 107,334  
Federal – interest and penalties     75,809       70,622  
State – trust fund portion     64,913       64,913  
State – interest and penalties     29,744       26,794  
    $ 277,800     $ 269,663  

  

In October 2010, the IRS filed a federal tax lien against us in the amount of $136,678 related to past-due payroll taxes. Also in October 2010, the IRS served FITT with a Notice of Levy in the amount of $152,974 attaching all royalty payments payable to us by FITT over and above $83,166, which was the amount owed by us to FITT as of October 15, 2010. The amount of the levy represents the amount of the IRS tax lien plus statutory additions. Through our legal counsel, we are actively attempting to work with the IRS and Franchise Tax Board to mitigate these liabilities; however, until such time that formal agreements are in place, penalties and interest will continue to accrue on past due balances.

 

In November of 2011, we entered into a settlement agreement with a former employee under which we settled all prior wage and other claims for 333 shares of our common stock valued at $1,200 and $500 cash. We recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt and creditor obligations of $9,347 and reduced Other Accrued Compensation by $11,047 in connection with this settlement.

 

During 2011, our two existing employees elected to accept common shares in lieu of a portion of their accrued compensation. On March 28, 2011, we filed a registration statement on Form S-8 under which a total of 29,167 common shares were registered and issued to an officer and an employee at a value of $4.80 per share, or $140,000. On May 18, 2011, we filed another registration statement on Form S-8 under which a total of 45,833 common shares were registered and issued to an officer and an employee at a value of $6.00 per share, or $275,000. In connection with their agreement to accept the common shares, the two employees have agreed not to sell any of these shares issued them until March 31, 2013. During the time the two employees have been prohibited from selling these shares to make-up for wages they were not paid, the market price has declined significantly to $0.21 per share based on the closing price of the stock on April 8, 2013. During 2012 there were no shares issued to officers or employees.

8.          Notes Payable

 

Notes payable consists of the following at:

 

    2012     2011  
Note payable – distributor settlement   $ 202,000     $ 202,000  
Note payable – trademark settlement     100,000       100,000  
Notes payable – bridge loans           50,000  
Notes payable – other           150,000  
Subtotal     302,000       502,000  
Less current portion     (302,000 )     (502,000 )
Long-term portion   $     $  

 

Note Payable – Distributor Settlement

This note payable arose from a February 1, 2008 settlement agreement with Christopher Wicks (“Wicks”) and Defiance U.S.A., Inc., under which we agreed to pay Wicks the sum of $252,000 under a payment schedule detailed therein, with the final payment due February 2010. Interest was to accrue at 5% per annum beginning in August 2008. We have made payments totaling $50,000. In July 2012, the noteholder agreed, on a tentative verbal basis, to accept a payment of $20,200 in full settlement of all amounts owing under this note payable, including accrued interest (see Note 6). Subsequent to December 31, 2012, we were able to finalize and fund this settlement. As a result, during the first quarter of 2013 this debt, as well as the related accrued interest described in Note 6, will be written-off and we will record an overall gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $221,000. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the outstanding balance of $202,000 at the end of each period was classified as a current liability in the accompanying balance sheet.

 

Note Payable – Trademark Settlement

This note payable arose from a March 4, 2009 settlement agreement with Who’s Ya Daddy, Inc. (“Daddy”) concerning an alleged infringement on a trademark of Daddy. The settlement amount totaled $125,000 and called for $25,000 to be paid immediately with additional payments of $10,000 to be made every 60 days, beginning April 30, 2009, until the obligation was fully paid. The payment of $25,000 was paid through an advance by a former officer. The note payable contains no provision for interest. Subsequent to December 31, 2012, we were able to negotiate a settlement of this debt for a total value of $50,000 ($25,000 cash and 100,000 shares of our common stock valued at $0.25 per share). The shares were fully vested on March 5, 2013, the date of issuance. During the first quarter of 2013, this debt will be written-off along with a related accrued expense described in Note 6, and we will record an overall gain on extinguishment of debt of $87,500. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, we were in default for non-payment and the outstanding balance of $100,000 at the end of each period was classified as a current liability in the accompanying balance sheet.

 

Notes Payable – Bridge Loans

On April 18, 2011, we issued two notes with face value totaling $50,000, along with 8,333 shares of our common stock, and the proceeds were used to repay advances to FITT. On April 26, 2012, the two noteholders agreed to cancel the notes, forgive interest thereon and enter into new note payable agreements directly with FITT. In connection with the cancellation of the notes, during the second quarter of 2012, we reduced notes payable and accrued interest by a total of $61,000, adjusted our payable to FITT by $50,000 and recorded the remaining $11,000 as a gain on extinguishment of debt.

 

Notes Payable – Other

This category consists of notes payable to two individuals, one for $100,000 and the other for $50,000. We have determined that the statute of limitation for the noteholders to enforce collection of their debt has expired. As a result, during 2012 we extinguished the notes payable of $150,000 and the related accrued interest of $83,950, and recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $233,950.

9.          Related Parties

 

As previously discussed, we have limited capital resources and liquidity.  As a result, during the periods covered by this report, related parties advance funds to us in order for us to pay certain obligations. Advances from related parties consist of the following at:

 

    2012     2011  
Advances from CEO and former officer   $ 117,403     $ 102,087  
Advances from FITT     247,700       363,151  
Advances from Shareholder     15,000       15,000  
    $ 380,103     $ 480,238  

 

During 2012 we wrote-off $20,000 in advances from a former officer after determining that the statute of limitations for the enforcement of debt collection had expired.

 

Advances from our CEO consist of monies advanced personally by him or through a company he owns. In addition, during the periods covered by this report, we received advances from FITT, an entity controlled by certain of our investors and management and whose largest shareholder is our CEO. The advances from related parties are due upon demand, are expected to be settled within one year, and therefore do not incur interest.

 

Activity in advances from related parties during 2012 and 2011 consists of the following:

 

    2012     2011  
Balance beginning of period   $ 480,238     $ 472,645  
Increases:                
   Net advances     184,865       348,593  
   Cancellation of Notes Payable – Bridge Loans     50,000        
Decreases:                
   Preferred shares issued to FITT     (315,000 )      
   Write-off advances from former officer     (20,000 )      
   Common shares issued to FITT           (216,000 )
   Common shares issued to Dr. Rand Scott           (25,000 )
   Common shares issued to Havas           (100,000 )
    $ 380,103     $ 480,238  

 

While our Operating Agreement with FITT requires that it makes royalty payments to us based on sales of the FITT Energy Shot, royalties earned to date have been insignificant. Until FITT begins making significant sales of the FITT Energy Shot, any royalty payments we receive will not be large enough to reduce in any meaningful way the amount we owe FITT. Therefore during the periods presented by this report, FITT has several times requested that we reduce the amount we owe them. As discussed in Note 12, on May 15, 2012, we issued 105,000 shares of our preferred stock, valued at $315,000, to FITT as a partial reduction of the debt we owed them. On April 1, 2011, we issued to FITT 50,000 shares of our common stock, valued at $216,000, as a partial reduction of amounts we owed them.

 

Additionally, in May 2011, we entered into agreements with Dr. Rand Scott and Havas under which we agreed to issue a total of 20,834 shares of our common stock, valued at a total of $125,000, for services Dr. Scott and Havas would perform for FITT.

10.          Commitments and Contingencies

 

We lease our current office space in Mission Viejo, California on a month-to-month basis and has no other non-cancellable operating leases.  The monthly payment under the lease is $2,000. Rent expense under operating leases amounted to $24,000 and $23,750, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

11.          Litigation

 

Sacks Motor Sports Inc.

In 2006, we received a Demand for Arbitration filed with the American Arbitration Association from Sacks Motor Sports Inc. (“Sacks”) seeking damages arising out of a sponsorship contract.  On February 13, 2007, the Arbitrator awarded Sacks $1,790,000.  This amount was recorded as an expense in the quarter ending December 31, 2006 and was fully reserved on the balance sheet. In 2008, after we appealed the award, the Middle District of Florida (“Florida Court”) denied our petition and entered judgment in favor of Sacks for the principal sum of $1,790,000 together with post-award interest from February 13, 2007 (the “Florida Judgment”). On August 30, 2008, Sacks had the Florida Judgment filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California (“California Court”) in an attempt to make collection against any of our California assets.

 

On May 2, 2012, we entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release (“Sacks Settlement”) with Sacks. Under the Sacks Settlement, we provided Sacks with a total of 66,667 shares of our restricted common stock and cancelled 16,667 shares previously issued to Sacks in March 2010 under a settlement agreement that was never finalized. In exchange Sacks executed and delivered to us forms of Acknowledgement of Full Satisfaction of Judgment for filing with the Florida Court and the California Court. We also agreed that one year from the effective date of the Sacks Settlement, we would request, based on legally available rules and exemptions, that the shares become free-trading. The shares were fully vested on the date of the Sacks Settlement and were valued based on the market price of the shares on the agreement date. During 2012, in connection with this settlement, we recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.57 million.

 

Oswald & Yap

On January 13, 2012, a complaint was filed against us in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Orange, by Oswald & Yap LLP (“Oswald”).  The complaint, which was for unpaid legal services in the amount of $40,734, also named our CEO and FITT as defendants.  Our CEO, as an individual, and FITT, as a company, were never a party to any agreement with Oswald.  Effective October 17, 2012, we entered into an Agreement for Use of Stipulation for Judgment under which we agreed to pay Oswald $25,000 no later than December 17, 2012 and Oswald agreed to release all defendants, but we were unable to make the required payment.

 

On October 12, 2012, attorneys for our CEO and FITT filed a Motion for Summary Judgment, essentially requesting they be dismissed from the case. The judge heard the motion on January 17, 2013 and indicated he was likely to rule in favor of the motion which would have allowed for the collection from Oswald of legal fees and costs associated with the defense of our CEO and FITT. On January 30, 2013 we, along with our CEO and FITT, reached a settlement with Oswald whereby Oswald would drop litigation against all defendants and release them from any and all obligations, and the defendants agreed not to attempt to collect from Oswald legal fees and costs related to this matter. In connection with this settlement, during the first quarter of 2013 we will record a gain on extinguishment of debt in the amount of 32,711.

  

H.G. Fenton

On or about July 22, 2009, H.G. Fenton Property Company (“Fenton”) filed a complaint against us in the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego, alleging Breach of Lease at our former office in Carlsbad, California (the “Carlsbad Lease”.) The complaint claimed damages in the amount of $420,000. Effective December 17, 2010, we executed a Stipulation for Entry of Judgment and Conditional Dismissal. In full satisfaction of the obligations under the Stipulation, in January 2011, a shareholder and one of our former officers transferred 3,333 of his free-trading shares to Fenton on our behalf and in March 2011, we made the final payment of $10,000 through an advance from FITT. In January 2011, we issued 3,333 shares to the shareholder and former officer to replace the shares he transferred to Fenton.

Christopher Wicks/Defiance

On May 8, 2007, we were served with a summons and complaint in a lawsuit filed in the San Diego Superior Court by Christopher Wicks and Defiance U.S.A., Inc. seeking judgment against us and two of our former officers, Edon Moyal and Dan Fleyshman, under a contract allegedly calling for the payment of $288,000 in cash plus stock in our subsidiary, Who’s Your Daddy, Inc., a California corporation, and a certain percentage of the revenues of that subsidiary.  On February 1, 2008, we entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release with the plaintiffs pursuant to which we agreed to pay the plaintiffs the sum of $252,000 under a payment schedule detailed therein.  As security for the settlement payment, defendants Fleyshman and Moyal together pledged 5,287 shares of our common stock owned and held by them.  Subsequent to December 31, 2012, we were able to finalize and fund a settlement of the obligation related to this litigation.

Who’s Ya Daddy  

On April 1, 2005, we received a complaint filed by Who’s Ya Daddy, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Daddy”), alleging that we were infringing on Daddy’s trademark, Who’s Ya Daddy®, with respect to clothing.  On April 7, 2006, we entered into a settlement agreement with Daddy pursuant to which we were granted an exclusive license to use Daddy’s trademark on clothing in exchange for a royalty payment of 6% of gross sales for clothing products in the United States, excluding footwear.  As part of the settlement, we also agreed to remit to Daddy 12% of the licensing revenues received from third parties to which we had granted a sublicense for use of the trademarks on clothing.  By early 2008, we had not made any of the required payments under the settlement agreement.  On March 26, 2008, our Company, and two of our former officers each received a Notice of Levy from the United States District Court for the Southern District of California in the amount of $143,561 allegedly pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement with Daddy.  We settled the debt on March 4, 2009 for $125,000 of which $25,000 was paid through an advance by Edon Moyal.  The remaining balance was to be repaid with bi-monthly payments of $10,000 beginning April 30, 2009. Subsequent to December 31, 2012, we were able to finalize and fund a settlement of the obligation related to this litigation. See Note 8.

The Stipulation was in the amount of $40,000 against us plus attorney fees, costs and expenses to enforce the judgment, and was to be reduced by the amount of payments previously received.  We made one payment of $7,250, but were unable to make additional payments.  On January 2, 2009, Straub filed an action requesting entry of judgment against us in the principal sum of $25,250 as per the Stipulation. Subsequent to December 31, 2012, we were able to finalize and fund a settlement of the obligation related to this litigation for a payment of $2,525.

12.          Capital Stock

 

Preferred Stock

We have authorized the issuance of a total of 20,000,000 shares of our preferred stock, each share having a par value of $0.001. At December 31, 2011 we had not issued any preferred stock. On May 15, 2012, our Board of Directors agreed to issue 105,000 shares of our preferred stock, designated as Series A, to FITT as a reduction of $315,000 in debt we owed them. We valued the Series A preferred stock at $3.00 per share, which represents a slight premium over the 30 day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) for our common shares of $2.70 per share, due to the rights attached to the preferred shares.

 

The Series A preferred stock has been designated with the following rights:

 

· Voting rights – each share has ten votes.
· Conversion – each share is convertible, at the option of the holder, into our common shares on a one for one (1 for 1) basis.
· Redemption – each share is redeemable ten years from the date of issuance, or sooner at the option of the holder, at the rate of $3.00 per share.
· Liquidation – upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, each share shall be preferred in order of payment to the holders of our common stock at a rate of $3.00 per Series A share.
· Dividend rights – none.

 

Since the preferred stock is contingently redeemable by FITT, it has been classified as temporary equity in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 2012.

 

Common Stock

We have authorized the issuance of 150,000,000 shares of our common stock, each share having a par value of $0.001.

Based on federal tax returns filed or to be filed through December 31, 2012, we had available approximately $24,434,000 in U.S. tax net operating loss carryforwards, pursuant to the Tax Reform Act of 1986, which assesses the utilization of a Company’s net operating loss carryforwards resulting from retaining continuity of its business operations and changes within its ownership structure.  Net operating loss carryforwards expire in 20 years for federal income tax reporting purposes.  For Federal income tax purposes, the net operating losses begin to expire in 2026.  State net operating loss carryforwards through December 31, 2012 are approximately $23,416,000 and begin to expire in 2013. We have relied on the issuance of common stock to fund certain operating expenses.  We may have experienced a change in ownership as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.  In the event we experienced a change in ownership, net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax reporting will be limited based on the fair value of our Company on the date of change in ownership.  Such change is expected to provide benefit to us only upon the attainment of profitability.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, our valuation allowance increased by approximately $824,666 and $547,503, respectively.

 

The United States Federal return years 2009 through 2012 are still subject to tax examination by the United States Internal Revenue Service, however, we do not currently have any ongoing tax examinations.

In furtherance of this program, during the first quarter of 2013 we entered into Debt Acquisition Agreements (“Debt Agreements”) with two parties affiliated with each other (the “Debt Funders”). The Debt Funders advanced us a total of $150,000 to compromise debt, either through our direct settlement with particular creditors or through the Debt Funders’ acquisition of certain debt for a compromised amount. In the cases where the Debt Funders acquired debt from creditors, the Debt Funders agreed to provide us with a release from the debt they acquired. In connection with the Debt Agreements, during the first quarter of 2013 we issued convertible promissory notes to the Debt Funders with principal amounts totaling $150,000 and used the funds, along with 131,700 shares of our common stock, valued at $31,340, to compromise $653,406 of debt.

 

36
 

 

The notes bear interest at 10% per annum and are repayable at two times the principal amount of the notes (in this case a total of $300,000). Repayment is to be made by conversion into shares of our common stock based on a 20-day volume weighted average price with the following minimums and maximums, both prior and subsequent to the proposed business combination discussed in Note 1:

 

  Prior to Proposed Business Combination Subsequent to Proposed Business Combination
Minimum conversion $0.25 per share Based on $10 million market valuation
Maximum conversion None Based on $36 million market valuation

 

If any portion of the notes is not converted into our common shares eight (8) months from the issuance date of each note, the non-converted portion of the notes will be automatically converted as described above.

  

Also during the first quarter of 2013 one of the Debt Funders converted $10,000 of their note payable into 40,000 shares of our common stock at the minimum conversion rate of $0.25 per share.

 

FITT Share Purchase Agreement

We are a party to a March 26, 2013 Amended and Restated Share Purchase Agreement between FITT and Pacello & Reed Enterprises (“P&R”). Under the agreement, P&R agreed to purchase $10 million worth of common shares of FITT with the understanding that once the share purchase is fully funded, FITT and our company will enter into a business combination as discussed in Note 1, with our Company being the surviving corporation. P&R agreed to fund $100,000 of their commitment on or before April 22, 2013, $900,000 on or before May 5, 2013 and the remaining $9 million on or before July 11, 2013; however, no assurances can be made that the transaction will be completed on the timeline provided, if at all. If the share purchase is not fully funded, we will not be required to enter into a business combination with FITT, but this circumstance will not preclude us from pursuing a combination if we elect to do so.

FITT HIGHWAY PRODUCTS, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2013

(UNAUDITED)

 

1. Business

 

Business

FITT Highway Products, Inc. (the “Company”) is in the business of the manufacturing (on an outsource basis), distribution and sale of energy drinks. Our current active product is a two-ounce energy shot named “F.I.T.T. Energy for Life” (the “FITT Energy Shot”).

 

We have significant debt that was incurred, for the most part, under previous management. As a result of this significant debt, and other factors, third parties performing marketing, production and fulfillment services have been unwilling to enter into agreements directly with us. In addition, we have been unable to attract necessary investment dollars to conduct operations. Therefore, effective August 12, 2010 we entered into an operating agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) with F.I.T.T. Energy Products, Inc. (“FITT”), a separate entity controlled by certain of our investors and management and whose largest shareholder is our CEO. Under the agreement, FITT is performing a majority of the operating functions for the FITT Energy Shot, and is recording all related results of operations. In exchange, FITT is obligated to pay us a royalty of $0.05 per bottle sold of the FITT Energy Shot.

 

Reverse Stock Split

On November 29, 2012, our Board executed a unanimous written consent authorizing and recommending that our stockholders approve a proposal to institute a one-for-sixty (1:60) reverse stock split. On the same day, holders of a majority of the voting power of all shares of our common and preferred stock entitled to vote, by written consent in lieu of a special meeting of our stockholders, approved the following action: perform a one-for-sixty (1:60) reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock and preferred stock while maintaining the number of authorized shares at 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock (the “Reverse Split”). On January 13, 2013 we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a Schedule 14C Definitive Information Statement notifying our shareholders of the Reverse Split and on January 23, 2013 such notice was mailed to our shareholders. The reverse split became effective February 15, 2013. All references to shares and per share information in these financial statements have been restated to give effect to the Reverse Split.

 

Merger with FITT

In 2012, FITT proposed negotiating a business combination with us and, on November 5, 2012, our Board of Directors approved commencing formal negotiations with FITT in this regard. On June 12, 2013, the Board, by unanimous written consent, recommended that our stockholders approve the Company entering into a Merger and Reorganization Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with FITT and on June 12, 2013, holders of a majority of the voting power of all shares of our common and preferred stock entitled to vote, by written consent in lieu of a special meeting of our stockholders, approved the following action: entry into the Merger Agreement with FITT whereby FITT will be merged into the Company, with the Company being the surviving entity (the “Merger”). The Merger Agreement, which was publicly announced on June 19, 2013, was entered into without having begun or completed an independent valuation of FITT. In order to enter into the Merger Agreement, FITT required that we mitigate our debt to their satisfaction which we have done. Since the beginning of our debt compromise program in early 2010, through the June 30, 2013 we have reduced our balance sheet debt nearly $5.2 million through debt settlement or write-off and through conversion of debt to equity. The Merger Agreement itself requires that FITT be valued at a number at least nine (9) times that of the Company. If the valuation is less than that, FITT has the right to terminate the Merger.

 

On June 27, 2013, FITT retained Aranca US Inc. to perform a business valuation for FITT. On June 27, 2013 we filed with the SEC a Schedule 14C Preliminary Information Statement, which was revised on July 13, 2013, to notify our shareholders of the Merger. If and when approved, we anticipate such notice will be mailed to our shareholders during August 2013 and that the Merger will become effective in September 2013, after the applicable waiting period. However, no assurances can be made that the time-frame indicated will be met or the merger will be completed based on the terms outlined.

Management’s Plan of Operations

Our revenues, and related cash flow, are presently limited to the receipt of royalties from FITT of $0.05 per bottle sold of the FITT Energy Shot. FITT is not obligated to pay us royalties for any additional products it has developed and funded. As such, we are currently dependent upon the success of FITT’s operating capabilities with respect to the FITT Energy Shot. If and when the Merger becomes effective, the Company’s balance sheet, operating results and cash flows will be combined with those of FITT.

 

We have not generated significant revenues for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. This was primarily due to a lack of operating capital and our Operating Agreement with FITT.  For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we experienced net income of approximately $30,000 and $1,926,000, respectively, principally as a result of gains from our continuing debt compromise program. Excluding said non-cash gains, we continued to incur significant operating losses in the first six months of 2013 and 2012, and continue to have a significant working capital deficit. We intend to continue to attempt to compromise our remaining debt. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management continues to seek capital through various sources. On June 10, 2013 we entered into a Financial Advisory & Investment Banking Agreement with CIM Securities, LLC (“CIM”). Under the agreement, CIM will attempt to raise a maximum of $5.0 million for us on a best efforts basis. Subsequent to June 30, 2013, together with CIM, we completed a private placement memorandum for $1.0 million in bridge loan financing. Once the merger with FITT is finalized, CIM will turn its efforts to the $5.0 million offering. See Note 12 for additional information. In addition, on August 13, 2013, we entered into an agreement with a corporation to sell 1,250,000 shares of our common stock for $250,000. See Note 13.

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year 2012 as reported in our Form 10-K have been omitted.  In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operation and cash flows.  The results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes which are part of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

Net Income Loss per Share

Basic and diluted net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. At June 30, 2013 and 2012, we had outstanding warrants to purchase zero and 4,319 common shares, respectively. The exercise prices of all warrants were in excess of the average closing price of our common stock during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. At June 30, 2013 and 2012, we had 105,000 shares of redeemable preferred stock, which were issued in May 2012, convertible into an equal amount of our common shares. The weighted average number of shares of common stock of the convertible preferred stock were included in the calculation of diluted net income for the following periods – three months ended June 30, 2012 (53,077 shares), six months ended June 30, 2013 (105,000 shares), and six months ended June 30, 2012 (26,538 shares) – but excluded from the three months ended June 30, 2013 as the shares would be anti-dilutive due to the net loss in that period.

 

5
 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 reported periods. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

We are not aware of any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements that would have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issues Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”) to amend the authoritative literature in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). There have been a number of ASUs to date that amend the original text of ASC. We believe those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to our Company or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact on us.

 

3. Debt Compromise Program

 

As stated in Note 1, we have significant debt that was incurred, for the most part, under previous management, and we are continuing with our program to compromise this debt in a substantial way. Our goal is to settle the debt at an overall rate of no more than $0.10 per one dollar of debt. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we finalized settlement agreements with certain of our creditors. In addition, we determined that the statute of limitations for certain of our creditors to enforce collection of any amounts they might be owed has now, or will soon elapse. We have written off those accounts for which the statute of limitations has expired. The Company reviewed any claims or liens on these accounts before mitigation. Based on our negotiations and determinations, we have during the six months ended June 30, 2013, or may in the near future, reduce our balance sheet debt as shown below (exclusive of conversion of convertible notes discussed in Note 7):

 

    June 30,
2013
    Future Periods  
Accounts payable   $ 317,761     $ 6,809  
Accrued expenses     77,827        
Notes payable     302,000        
    $ 697,588     $ 6,809  

 

Debt reductions shown above include $653,406 in settled obligations and $44,182 due to the expiration of statute of limitations on creditor obligations. Amounts expected to be compromised in future periods identified above are dependent on the ability of creditors to enforce collection after certain statute of limitations expire. Management cannot make any assurances that such conditions will be met. As of June 30, 2013, under the condition that the statute of limitations continues to pass on certain creditor balances, we anticipate the future period write-offs of $6,809 will be made during the three months ended September 30, 2013.

 

Our remaining debt totals approximately $2.7 million as of June 30, 2013. Of this, $1,328,958 is owed to our officer and employee for accrued and unpaid salaries and advances (inclusive of accrued payroll taxes), $282,755 is owed for delinquent payroll taxes, and $224,168 is owed to our legal counsel.

 

4. Accounts Payable

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we wrote-off $44,182 in accounts payable as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitation for creditors to enforce collection of their debt. In addition, we finalized and funded agreements to settle certain accounts payable obligations totaling $273,579 for consideration totaling $47,393 ($41,053 in cash and 31,700 shares of common stock valued at $6,340). We also expect to write-off an additional $6,809 in accounts payable in future periods due to the expiration of the statute of limitations to enforce collection. Such write-offs are dependent upon the absence of additional claims on aged balances expected to be written off.

 

6
 

Accounts payable at June 30, 2013 consists of the following:

 

Owed to ongoing vendors   $ 321,580  
Owed from prior settlements     100,000  
Owed – attempting to settle     53,358  
To be written-off in future periods due to statute of limitations to expire (Note 3)     6,809  
    $ 481,747  

 

Amounts owed to ongoing vendors are mainly the result of obligations for legal, accounting and outside director fees which are necessary to maintain our status as a fully reporting public company.

 

5. Accrued Expenses

 

Accrued expenses consist of the following at:

 

    June 30,
2013
    December 31,
2012
 
Accrued interest – convertible promissory notes   $ 5,920     $  
Accrued interest – note payable to Distributor           40,327  
Other     300       37,800  
    $ 6,220     $ 78,127  

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we finalized and funded a settlement agreement for our Note Payable – Distributor settlement (to which the $40,327 accrued interest relates) and for our Note Payable – Trademark settlement (to which $37,500 of other accrued expenses relates). See Note 7 for additional information.

 

6.

Accrued Compensation

 

Accrued compensation consists of the following at:

 

    June 30,
2013
    December 31,
2012
 
Accrued officers compensation   $ 790,851     $ 669,117  
Other accrued compensation     262,383       210,230  
Accrued payroll taxes – delinquent     282,755       277,800  
Accrued payroll taxes on accrued payroll (not yet due)     140,714       123,085  
    $ 1,476,703     $ 1,280,232  

 

Due to a continuing lack of capital, we have been unable to pay the majority of the compensation owed to our officers and employees. In addition, in 2007 and 2008, our prior management did not pay certain federal and state payroll tax obligations and they became delinquent. The delinquent tax amounts shown above consist of:

 

    June 30,
2013
    December 31,
2012
 
Federal – trust fund portion   $ 107,334     $ 107,334  
Federal – interest and penalties     79,364       75,809  
State – trust fund portion     64,913       64,913  
State – interest and penalties     31,144       29,744  
    $ 282,755     $ 277,800  

 

7
 

In October 2010, the IRS filed a federal tax lien against us in the amount of $136,678 related to past-due payroll taxes. Also in October 2010, the IRS served FITT with a Notice of Levy in the amount of $152,974 attaching all royalty payments payable to us by FITT over and above $83,166, which was the amount owed by us to FITT as of October 15, 2010. The amount of the levy represents the amount of the IRS tax lien noted above plus statutory additions. Through our legal counsel, we are actively attempting to work with the IRS and Franchise Tax Board to mitigate these liabilities; however, until such time that formal agreements are in place, penalties and interest will continue to accrue on past due balances.

 

7.

Notes Payable

 

Notes payable consists of the following at:

 

    June 30,
2013
    December 31,
2012
 
Convertible promissory notes – debt acquisition                
Notes payable – at maturity date   $ 269,002     $  
Debt discount – remaining on-issuance discount     (62,878 )      
Debt discount – beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”)     (4,057 )      
Convertible promissory notes – Integrity     20,000        
Convertible promissory note – Legal Counsel     50,000        
Note payable – distributor settlement           202,000  
Note payable – trademark settlement           100,000  
Subtotal     272,067       302,000  
Less current portion     (70,000 )     (302,000 )
Long-term portion   $ 202,067     $  

 

Convertible Promissory Notes – Debt Acquisition

In 2010 we initiated a program to compromise our debt. In furtherance of this program, during the first quarter of 2013 we entered into Debt Acquisition Agreements (“Debt Agreements”) with two parties affiliated with each other (the “Debt Funders”). The Debt Funders agreed to fund a total of $150,000 to an escrow account, which amount was to be used to compromise our debt, either through our direct settlement with particular creditors or through the Debt Funders’ acquisition of certain debt for a compromised amount. In the cases where the Debt Funders acquired debt from creditors, the Debt Funders agreed to provide us with a release from the debt they acquired. Any funds not used to compromise our debt are to be returned to the Debt Funders. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, funds totaling $147,001 had been used to compromise debt and, in connection with the Debt Agreements, we issued convertible promissory notes to the Debt Funders totaling that amount.

 

The notes bear interest at 10% per annum and are repayable at two times the principal amount of the notes. Repayment is to be made by conversion into shares of our common stock based on a 20-day volume weighted average price with the following minimums and maximums, both prior and subsequent to the proposed business combination discussed in Note 1:

 

  Prior to Proposed Business Combination (limited to 20% of note principal)   Subsequent to Proposed Business Combination
Minimum conversion $0.25 per share   Based on $10 million market valuation
Maximum conversion None   Based on $36 million market valuation

If any portion of the notes is not converted into our common shares eight (8) months from the issuance date of each note, the non-converted portion of the notes will be automatically converted as described above. The notes have been classified as long-term debt in the accompanying balance sheet at June 30, 2013 since the method of repayment is conversion into common stock.

 

During the first six months of 2013 the Debt Funders converted a total of $25,000 of the amount of their notes payable at maturity ($12,500 in original funding) into 100,000 shares of our common stock at the minimum conversion rate of $0.25 per share, leaving an original principal balance of $134,501 ($269,002 payable at maturity). As of June 30, 2013, funds totaling $2,999 were still in escrow and had not yet been used.

 

The additional principal of $134,501 is being accreted on a straight-line basis over the eight month terms of the notes. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, $63,817 and $84,123, respectively, was charged to interest expense in connection with this accretion.

 

Additionally, we determined that the notes contain a BCF since the effective conversion price, after giving consideration to the repayment terms of two times principal, was less than the market value of our common stock on the measurement dates. The BCF totaling $21,984 was accounted for as debt discount and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the eight month terms of the notes. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, $12,263 and $17,927, respectively, was charged to interest expense in connection with the amortization of the BCF with $4,057 remaining to be amortized.

 

Convertible Promissory Notes – Integrity

During the first quarter of 2013, we became obligated to issue convertible promissory notes totaling $10,000 to Integrity Media under a Service Agreement. See Note 12 for a description of the terms of the agreement.

 

Convertible Promissory Notes – Legal Counsel

On June 14, 2013 our Board of Directors approved the issuance of a $100,000 convertible unsecured note to our legal counsel, Horwitz, Cron & Amrstrong, LLP (“HCA”) in exchange for an accounts payable owed to them in the same amount for legal services they previously performed. The note, which bears no interest unless an event of default occurs, has a term of one year from its effective date of January 15, 2013. Under the terms of the note, at any time prior to the due date of the note, HCA may convert all or a portion of the note at a fixed conversion price of $0.50 per share. If the price of our common stock is over $2.00 per share for five consecutive trading days during the term of the note, the remaining outstanding balance shall be automatically converted into our common shares at $0.50 per share. On June 18, 2013, HCA converted $50,000 of the note into 100,000 shares of our common stock. Subsequent to June 30, 2013, HCA converted the remaining note balance of $50,000 into 100,000 shares of our common stock.

 

Note Payable – Distributor Settlement

This note payable arose from a February 1, 2008 settlement agreement with Christopher Wicks (“Wicks”) and Defiance U.S.A., Inc., under which we agreed to pay Wicks the sum of $252,000 under a payment schedule detailed therein, with the final payment due February 2010. Interest was to accrue at 5% per annum beginning in August 2008. We had made payments totaling $50,000. During the first quarter of 2013, we settled the debt and related accrued interest (see Note 5) for $20,200 resulting in a gain on extinguishment of approximately $222,000. At December 31, 2012, the outstanding balance of $202,000 was classified as a current liability in the accompanying balance sheet.

 

Note Payable – Trademark Settlement

This note payable arose from a March 4, 2009 settlement agreement with Who’s Ya Daddy, Inc. (“Daddy”) concerning an alleged infringement on a trademark of Daddy. The settlement amount totaled $125,000 with no provision for interest and called for $25,000 to be paid immediately with additional payments of $10,000 to be made every 60 days, beginning April 30, 2009, until the obligation was fully paid. Only the initial payment of $25,000 was made. During the first quarter of 2013, we were able to negotiate and fund a settlement of this debt for a total value of $50,000 ($25,000 cash and 100,000 shares of our common stock valued at $0.25 per share). The shares were fully vested on March 5, 2013, the date of issuance. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we extinguished this debt along with the related accrued expense described in Note 5, and recorded an overall gain on extinguishment of $87,500. As of December 31, 2012, the outstanding balance of $100,000 was classified as a current liability in the accompanying balance sheet.

8. Related Parties

 

As previously discussed, we have limited capital resources and liquidity.  As a result, during the periods covered by this report, related parties advance funds to us in order for us to pay certain obligations. Advances from related parties consist of the following at:

 

    June 30,
2013
    December 31,
2012
 
Advances from CEO   $ 135,010     $ 117,403  
Advances from FITT     332,591       247,700  
Advances from Shareholder     15,000       15,000  
    $ 482,601     $ 380,103  

 

Advances from our CEO consist of monies advanced personally by him or through a company he owns. In addition, during the periods covered by this report, we received advances from FITT, an entity controlled by certain of our investors and management and whose largest shareholder is our CEO. The advances from related parties are due upon demand, are expected to be settled within one year, and therefore do not incur interest.

 

Activity in advances from related parties during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 consists of the following:

 

   

Six Months

Ended 2013

   

Twelve Months

Ended 2012

 
Balance beginning of period   $ 380,103     $ 480,238  
Increases:                
Net advances     102,498       184,865  
Cancellation of Notes Payable – Bridge Loans           50,000  
Decreases:                
Funds repaid by FITT           (315,000 )
Write-off advances from former officer           (20,000 )
    $ 482,601     $ 380,103  

 

While our Operating Agreement with FITT requires that it makes royalty payments to us based on sales of the FITT Energy Shot, royalties earned to date have been insignificant. Until FITT begins making significant sales of the FITT Energy Shot, any royalty payments we receive will not be large enough to reduce in any meaningful way the amount we owe FITT. Therefore during the 2012 year, FITT requested that we reduce the amount we owe them and on May 15, 2012, we issued 105,000 shares of our preferred stock, valued at $315,000, to FITT as a partial reduction of the debt we owed them. Also during the 2012 year, we extinguished $20,000 in advances from a former officer after determining that the statute of limitations for the enforcement of debt collection had expired

 

9. Litigation

 

Oswald & Yap

On January 13, 2012, a complaint was filed against us in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Orange, by Oswald & Yap LLP (“Oswald”).  The complaint, which was for unpaid legal services in the amount of $40,734, also named our CEO and FITT as defendants.  Our CEO, as an individual, and FITT, as a company, were never a party to any agreement with Oswald.  Effective October 17, 2012, we entered into an Agreement for Use of Stipulation for Judgment under which we agreed to pay Oswald $25,000 no later than December 17, 2012 and Oswald agreed to release all defendants, but we were unable to make the required payment.

 

10
 

On October 12, 2012, attorneys for our CEO and FITT filed a Motion for Summary Judgment, essentially requesting they be dismissed from the case. On January 30, 2013 we, along with our CEO and FITT, reached a settlement with Oswald whereby Oswald would drop litigation against all defendants and release them from any and all obligations, and the defendants agreed not to attempt to collect from Oswald legal fees and costs related to this matter. In connection with this settlement, during the first quarter of 2013 we recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $32,711.

 

10. Capital Stock

 

Preferred Stock

We have authorized the issuance of a total of 20,000,000 shares of our preferred stock, each share having a par value of $0.001. At December 31, 2011 we had not issued any preferred stock. On May 15, 2012, our Board of Directors agreed to issue 105,000 shares of our preferred stock, designated as Series A, to FITT as a reduction of $315,000 in debt we owed them. We valued the Series A preferred stock at $3.00 per share, which represented a slight premium over the then 30-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) for our common shares of $2.70 per share, due to the rights attached to the preferred shares.

 

The Series A preferred stock has been designated with the following rights:

 

  Voting rights – each share has ten votes.
  Conversion – each share is convertible, at the option of the holder, into our common shares on a one for on (1 for 1) basis.
  Redemption – each share is redeemable ten years from the date of issuance, or sooner at the option of the holder, at the rate of $3.00 per share.
  Liquidation – upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, each share shall be preferred in order of payment to the holders of the Company’s common stock at a rate of $3.00 per Series A share.
  Dividend rights – none.

 

Since the preferred stock is contingently redeemable by FITT, it has been classified as temporary equity in the accompanying balance sheet as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

 

Common Stock

We have authorized the issuance of 150,000,000 shares of our common stock, each share having a par value of $0.001. Following is the activity for our shares of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2013:

 

    Shares      
Shares outstanding December 31, 2012     1,554,249      
Issuances for settlement of debt:            
Accounts payable     31,700     See Note 4
Notes payable     100,000     See Note 7
Issuances for services:            
Financial advisory and investment banking     100,000     See Note 12
Investor relations     50,000     See Note 12
Conversion of convertible notes payable     200,000     See Note 7
Shares outstanding June 30, 2013     2,035,949      

 

General and administrative expenses include $9,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 in connection with the issuance of shares for services shown in the table above. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded general and administrative expense for shares issued for investor relations and litigation support services.

12. Agreements

 

Integrity Media Agreement

On January 28, 2013, we entered into an agreement with Integrity Media (“Integrity”) to provide investor relations services. Under the agreement, which has a term of twelve (12) months, we agreed to make monthly payments to Integrity of $2,500 cash and a convertible promissory note of $10,000 (total monthly value of $12,500) during the agreement’s first three (3) months. During the final nine (9) months of the agreement, we agreed to pay Integrity a monthly amount of $5,000 cash and $10,000 in a convertible promissory note (total monthly value of $15,000). The convertible promissory notes, which contain no provision for interest, are convertible into our free-trading common shares based on a 20-day volume weighted average price with floor and ceiling conversion prices equal to a $10 million company market valuation and a $36 million company market valuation, respectively. Each note is convertible six months from the date of the note. The agreement is cancelable by either party on 30 days’ written notice. On March 28, 2013, we informed Integrity that we have taken a sabbatical with regard to the agreement and will not accrue any additional fees.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded a general and administrative expense totaling $25,000 in connection with this agreement ($5,000 in cash and $20,000 in a convertible promissory note).

 

CIM Securities, LLC

On June 10, 2013, we entered into a Financial Advisory & Investment Banking Agreement with CIM Securities, LLC (“CIM”) under which CIM agreed to act as lead investment banker, financial advisor, and lead placement agent for up to $5.0 million in a Reg. D offering on a best effort basis. The agreement which contemplates the merger with FITT discussed in Note 1, has a term of six months. FITT is also a party to the agreement. Subsequent to June 30, 2013, together with CIM, we completed a private placement memorandum for $1.0 million in bridge loan financing. Once the merger with FITT is finalized, CIM will turn its efforts to the $5.0 million offering.

 

As compensation for the CIM services, the Company agreed to pay CIM an initial fee of $40,000 and 100,000 restricted shares of the Company’s restricted common stock which CIM agreed to purchase for $200.00. The $40,000 fee is payable as follows: $10,000 upon execution of the agreement, $10,000 upon completion of CIM’s due diligence, $10,000 for the introduction to an investor relations firm retained by us, and $10,000 payable from the proceeds of any funding resulting from CIM’s efforts. The shares were issued to CIM and a designee on June 27, 2013 and were fully vested on issuance. We have accounted for the fees and stock issuance as deferred financing costs which will be amortized in future periods over the term of any financing obtained.

 

For capital raised through the efforts of CIM, the Company agreed to pay CIM the following cash fees:

 

· Placement fee equal to ten percent (10.0%) of the aggregate gross cash proceeds received by the Company from contacts identified by CIM
· Placement fee equal to five percent (5.0%) of the aggregate gross cash proceeds received by the Company from contacts identified by the Company
· Non-accountable expense allowance, due diligence and marketing fee equal to three percent (3.0%) of the aggregate gross cash proceeds received by the Company

 

12
 

 

The Company also agreed to issue a placement agent warrant to CIM equal valued at ten percent (10.0%) of the gross proceeds of the Reg. D offering. The warrant will contain a “cashless” exercise provision and be exercisable over a five-year period at a price equal to the effective price of the Reg. D offering. The warrants will contain full piggyback registration rights on any future Registration Statement.

 

Acorn Management Partners

On June 20, 2013, we entered into an Investor Relations and Consulting Agreement with Acorn Management Partners, LLC (“Acorn”) to provide us with various investor and public relations services. The term of the agreement is one year, but we may terminate the agreement effective at the end of the first three month period, or any monthly period thereafter, by giving, within the applicable period, no less than seven calendar days’ notice to the end of the period. We agreed to pay Acorn, during the first three-month period of the agreement, cash of totaling $30,000 (payable on a schedule as outlined in the agreement) along with 50,000 shares of our common stock. The shares were issued June 20, 2013 and were vested on issuance.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded a general and administrative expense totaling $33,000 in connection with this agreement consisting of $30,000 in cash obligations and $3,000 in common stock. The common stock was valued based on the market price of the shares on the date of issuance.

 

13. Subsequent Events

 

On August 13, 2013 we entered into an agreement with a corporation to sell 1,250,000 shares of our common stock for $250,000 ($0.20 per share).

 

Concurrent with the stock sale, we entered into an agreement with a second corporation (the “Distributor”) under which the Distributor would have an exclusive right to develop a market in Asia for us. The Distributor has extensive contacts and business relationships in Asia and in Asian communities in the U.S. The initial exclusive right shall be for a six-month period with the understanding that, if results are acceptable to both parties, they will utilize their best efforts to negotiate and execute an additional definitive agreement at the end of this initial six months. As consideration for the Distributor providing services to establish an Asian market for us, we issued 450,000 of our common stock to them which were fully vested on August 13, 2013, the date of issuance, and which will be released to Distributor on an agreed-upon schedule. We expect to record a stock-based marketing expense in 2013 based on the value of the shares issued.
