1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Innovative Food Holdings, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Food Innovations, Inc. (“FII”), Food New Media Group, Inc. (“FNM”), Gourmet Foodservice Group, Inc. (“GFG”),  and 4 The Gourmet, Inc (d/b/a For The Gourmet, Inc.) (“Gourmet”) (collectively, the “Company, or “IVFH”),  have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  FNM currently holds the Company’s intellectual property rights related to its private label brand.  All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation of these entities.
 
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles pursuant to Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and related notes as contained in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. In the opinion of management, the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation of the interim periods presented. The results of the operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.
 
2. NATURE OF ACTIVITIES AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Business Activity
 
FII is in the business of providing premium white tablecloth restaurants with the freshest origin-specific perishables and specialty food products direct from its network of vendors to the end users (restaurants, hotels, country clubs, national chain accounts, casinos, and catering houses) within 24 - 72 hours.  For The Gourmet, through its website www.forthegourmet.com , and through additional sales channels, provides the highest quality gourmet food products to the retail consumer market under the For The Gourmet line We currently sell the majority of our products through a distributor relationship between FII and Next Day Gourmet, L.P., a subsidiary of U.S. Foods (“USF”), a $20 Billion broad line distributor.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates include certain assumptions related to doubtful accounts receivable, stock-based services, valuation of financial instruments, and income taxes. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and concentration of credit risk. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe our estimates have not been materially inaccurate in past years, and our assumptions are not likely to change in the foreseeable future.
 
On August 25, 2005, the Company entered into contracts which obligated the company under certain circumstances to issue shares of common stock in excess of the number of shares of common stock authorized. Under accounting guidance provided by FASB ASC 815-40-05, effective August 25, 2005 the Company began to account for all derivative financial instruments, including warrants, conversion features embedded in notes payable, and stock options, via the liability method of accounting. Accordingly, all these instruments are valued at issuance utilizing the Black-Scholes valuation method, and are re-valued at each period ending date, also using the Black-Scholes valuation method.  Any gain or loss from revaluation is charged to operations during the period.

Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.  The Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $3,949,863 as of March 31, 2012.   However, the Company has reported a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012, due to non-cash items related to the revaluation of warrant liability and conversion option liability.
 
The Company is working to manage its current liabilities while it continues to make changes in operations to further improve its cash flow and liquidity position. Management believes the Company will generate sufficient capital from operations and from debt and equity financing in order to satisfy current liabilities in the succeeding twelve months.  Management’s belief is based on the Company’s operating plans, which in turn is based on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect.  

If the Company’s cash flow from operations is insufficient, the Company may require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern.  The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all.  In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion, repay its debt obligations as they become due or respond to competitive pressures, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. The Company has not made any adjustments to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements which would be necessary should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern.

Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

7. ACCRUED INTEREST

Accrued interest on the Company’s convertible notes payable is convertible at the option of the note holders into the Company’s common stock at $0.005.  There is a beneficial conversion feature embedded in the convertible accrued interest, which can be exercised at any time by the note holders. The Company is amortizing this beneficial conversion feature over the life of the related notes payable.  Certain of the notes payable have exceeded their stated terms, and are still outstanding; in those instances, the Company expenses the value of the beneficial conversion feature on the accrued interest immediately.

Certain of the accrued interest are convertible in to shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.005 per share. At March 31, 2012, convertible accrued interest was $709,554 which is convertible into 141,910,371 shares of common stock; at December 31, 2011, convertible accrued interest was $693,087 which was convertible into 139,697,371 shares of common stock.

This note consists of $100,000 outstanding under a previous note payable which was cancelled on February 25, 2005, and $250,000 of new borrowings. We did not meet certain of our obligations under the loan documents relating to this issuance.  These lapses include not reserving the requisite number of treasury shares, selling subsequent securities without offering a right of first refusal, not complying with reporting obligations, not having our common shares quoted on the OTC:BB and not timely registering certain securities.  This note entered technical default status on May 16, 2005.  The note originally carried interest at the rate of 8% per annum, and was due in full on February 24, 2007.  Upon default, the note’s interest rate increased to 15% per annum, and the note became immediately due. This note contains a cross default provision. The note is convertible into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.005 per share. A beneficial conversion feature in the amount of $250,000 was recorded as a discount to the note, and was amortized to interest expense during the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. Accrued interest is convertible into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.005 per share. Interest in the amount of $5,255 and $6,805 was accrued on this note during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 the note holder converted $5,000 into shares of common stock. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 the holder of the note converted $27,865 of accrued interest into common stock. In April 2009, the noteholder agreed to waive the default interest rate of 15%, and the note resumed accruing interest at the rate of 8% per annum. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the note holder converted $81,500 of principal and $46,793 of accrued interest into 25,658,616 shares of common stock.

Conversion Options Embedded in Convertible Notes

The Company accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible notes in accordance with FASB ASC 815-10-05. ASC 815-10-05 generally requires companies to bifurcate conversion options embedded in convertible notes from their host instruments and to account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815-40-05.
 
At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding $1,093,482 and $1,109,482 in principal, respectively, of various convertible notes with embedded conversion options accounted for as free standing derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815-10-05 and ASC 815-40-05. The fair value of these embedded conversion options was $1,604,150 and $1,245,761 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  The fair value of these embedded conversion options were estimated at March 31, 2012 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:  risk free interest rate of 0.08-0.15%; expected dividend yield of 0%; expected option life of 10; and volatility of 112.43-118.22%. The fair value of these embedded conversion options were estimated at December 31, 2011 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:  risk free interest rate of 0.17-0.19%; expected dividend yield of 0%; expected option life of 10; and volatility 103.77-110.66%.   The expected term of 10 years was used for all notes in both periods because several of the notes are currently or have been in default, and accordingly the term of the note is deemed not relevant as a variable for the Black-Scholes calculation.  The Company revalues the conversion options at each reporting period, and charges any change in value to operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded a loss of $378,435 and a gain of $77,726 respectively, due to the change in value of the conversion option liability.

When convertible notes payable are satisfied by payment or by conversion to equity, the Company revalues the related conversion option liability at the time of the payment or conversion.  The conversion option liability is then relieved by this amount, which is charged to additional paid-in capital.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, conversion option liabilities in the amounts of $20,046 and $32,993 were transferred from liability to equity due to the conversion or payment of the related convertible notes payable.

Discounts on notes payable

The Company calculates the fair value of any beneficial conversion features embedded in its convertible notes via the Black-Scholes valuation method. The Company also calculates the fair value of any detachable warrants offered with its convertible notes via the Black-Scholes valuation method.  The instruments are considered discounts to the notes, to the extent the aggregate value of the warrants and conversion features do not exceed the face value of the notes. These discounts are amortized to interest expense via the effective interest method over the term of the notes.  The fair value of these instruments is expensed to interest expense to the extent that the value of these instruments exceeds the face value of the notes.

Extension of notes payable

The Company accounts for modifications of its notes payable according to the guidance in FASB ASC 470-50-40. Pursuant to ASC 470-50-40, changes to an existing note should be accounted for as an extinguishment of the note with resultant gain or loss if the present value of the cash flows from the new note varies by more than 10% from the present value of the cash flows from the original note.  ASC 470-50-40 provides an exception to this rule for the addition of conversion options accounted for as a derivative liability.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company negotiated the extension of its notes payable in the aggregate amount of $587,000.  The Company extended the maturity date of these notes until January 1, 2010.  These notes, along with two additional notes payable in the aggregate amount of $150,000, contained certain provisions for a default interest rate.  The Company negotiated an agreement with the noteholders and the noteholders agreed to reinstate the original interest rate of 8% per annum.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company negotiated the extension of certain of its notes payable in the aggregate amount of $138,000.  The Company extended the maturity date of these notes until February 15, 2010.  During the year ended December 31, 2010, as described below the Company negotiated the extension of these notes payable, and the maturity dates of these notes to either June 15, 2010 or April 15, 2011.  The notes are past due as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company negotiated the extension of nine of its notes payable in the aggregate amount of $617,000, to April 15, 2011.  The Company also negotiated the extension of two of its notes payable in the aggregate amount of $130,000 until June 15, 2010.   The notes are past due as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

9. INCOME TAXES
 
Deferred income taxes result from the temporary differences arising from the use of accelerated depreciation methods for income tax purposes and the straight-line method for financial statement purposes, and an accumulation of net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes with a valuation allowance against the carryforwards for book purposes. 
 
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Included in deferred tax assets are Federal and State net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3.7 million, which will expire beginning in 2025 through 2029.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Due to significant changes in the Company's ownership, the Company's future use of its existing net operating losses may be limited.
 
10. EQUITY

At the annual meeting for the Company’s shareholders, on January 25, 2012, the proposal to authorize the Company’s Board of Directors to implement a reverse split of the outstanding common stock, at its discretion, in a ratio ranging from 40:1 to 60:1, was approved.   In addition, the proposal to authorize the Board of Directors to change the Company’s domicile from Florida to Delaware was approved.  As of the date of this filing, the Board of Directors has not consummated the reverse split or the change in domicile.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company did not have any issuances of common stock.

Aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $172,925 and $61,064 respectively. Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the Company's closing stock price on the last trading day of the fiscal period, which was  $0.0078 and $0.0079 as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and the exercise price multiplied by the number of options outstanding. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company charged $0, to operations related to recognized stock-based compensation expense for employee stock options.

Accounting for warrants and stock options

The Company accounts for the issuance of common stock purchase warrants, stock options, and other freestanding derivative financial instruments in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 815-40-15. Based on the provisions of ASC 815-40-05, the Company classifies, as equity, any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) gives the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contract that (i) require net-cash settlement or (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement in shares (physical or net-share settlement). At March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has no freestanding derivative financial instruments that require net cash settlement or give the counterparty a choice of net cash settlement or settlement in shares.
  
The fair value of these warrants and stock options is determined utilizing the Black-Scholes valuation model. Through August 2005, these warrants were accounted for by the equity method, whereby the fair value of the warrants was charged to additional paid-in capital. During September, 2005, the number of shares of the Company's common stock issued and issuable exceeded the number of shares of common stock the Company had authorized. As the Company no longer had sufficient shares authorized to settle all of our outstanding contracts, this triggered a change in the manner in which the Company accounts for the warrants and stock options. The Company began to account for these warrants and stock options utilizing the liability method. Pursuant to ASC 815-40-15, “If a contract is reclassified from permanent or temporary equity to an asset or a liability, the change in fair value of the contract during the period the contract was classified as equity should be accounted for as an adjustment to stockholders' equity." Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company charged the amount of $10,374,536 to stockholders' equity. At the same time, the Company changed the way in which it accounts for the beneficial conversion feature of convertible notes payable (see note 8).
 
The accounting guidance shows that the warrants and stock options which are a derivative liability should be revalued each reporting period. The recorded value of such warrants and stock options can fluctuate significantly based on fluctuations in the market value of the underlying securities of the issuer of the warrants and stock options, as well as in the volatility of the stock price during the term used for observation and the term remaining for warrants. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized a loss of $193,821 and a gain of $144,679, respectively, for the change in the fair value of the warrant liability and recorded the change in operations during the three months ended March 31, 2012  and 2011.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized a loss of $54,587 and a gain of $21,280, respectively, for the change in the fair value of the stock option liability and recorded these amounts in operations during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Our short-term financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and other liabilities, consist primarily of instruments without extended maturities, the fair value of which, based on management’s estimates, reasonably approximate their book value.   The fair value of the Company’s stock option, convertible debt features and warrant instruments is determined using option pricing models.
 
As a result of the adoption of ASC 815-40, the Company is required to disclose the fair value measurements required by ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”  The other liabilities recorded at fair value in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value.  Hierarchical levels, defined by ASC 820 are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuations of these liabilities are as follows:
 
Level 1 —
Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;
   
Level 2 — 
Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
   
Level 3 — 
Unobservable inputs, for which little or no market data exist, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The following table summarizes the financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2012, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 6, 2012, the Company entered into an Extension Agreement with certain holders of convertible notes issued by the Company, which are past due, and warrants issued by the registrant, certain of which are set to expire shortly.  The agreement provides for among other things, (i) the extension of notes held by such parties to be extended to October 3, 2013; (ii) the waiver of any current defaults under such notes; (iii) an acknowledgement and agreement by the noteholders that upon execution of such Extension Agreement none of the notes are in default and, to the best knowledge of said parties,  there are no existing breaches pursuant to the terms of any note or Subscription Agreement between the parties that would cause a default under any of the notes; and (iv) the extension of the expiration date of certain warrants held by such parties until April 3, 2015.  

On May 4, 2012 the Company's board of directors approved the issuance of compensation to its directors for 2011 and 2012 with all directors in office on December 31, 2011 receiving 5 million common stock options exercisable for five (5) years at an exercise price of $0.007 per share, being the closing market price on the date of grant.  The options issued for 2012 will vest on December 31, 2012 for those directors still in office on such date.
 
On May 11, 2012, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with one of its existing noteholders pursuant to which, among other things, the noteholder issued a secured convertible note in the face amount of $1,200,000 at a price of $1,080,000.  The note carries simple interest at an annual rate of 4.5% and is due in full by April 2015.  The note is convertible into the Company's common stock at a fixed conversion price of $0.02 per share.  The note has a predetermined paydown schedule, a 4 month grace period on repayments and allows for  prepayments at any time. The note also includes cross-default provisions; is secured by all of the Company's and its subsidiaries' assets; and is guaranteed by each of the subsidiaries. The proceeds of the note are for targeted acquisition purposes.   As part of the transaction, the Company also issued to the noteholder eight year warrants to purchase 23 million shares at an exercise price of $0.0002 per share. In addition, the Company issued up to an additional 12 million warrants at such price which can be exercised commencing May 11, 2013, up to an additional 15 million warrants exercisable commencing eight months thereafter, and up to an additional 25 million warrants exercisable commencing eight months thereafter.  Depending upon the outstanding balance of the note, it is possible that some, or even all, of these additional warrants may never become exercisable.  Both the note and warrants contain adjustments in the event of certain specified corporate events and blockers preventing the noteholder from owning more than 9.9% of the Company's common stock at any time.
 
 
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto, as well as all other related notes, and financial and operational references, appearing elsewhere in this document.
 
Certain information contained in this discussion and elsewhere in this report may include "forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is subject to the safe harbor created by that act. The safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act will not apply to certain  "forward looking statements” because we issued "penny stock" (as defined in Section 3(a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 3(a)(51-1) under the Exchange Act) during the three year period preceding the date(s) on which those forward looking statements were first made, except to the extent otherwise specifically provided by rule, regulation or order of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We caution readers that certain important factors may affect our actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements which may be deemed to have been made in this Report or which are otherwise made by or on behalf of us.  For this purpose, any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may",  "will", "expect", "believe",  "explore",  "consider",  "anticipate",  "intend", "could", "estimate",  "plan", "propose" or "continue" or the negative variations of those words or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Factors that may affect our results include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties associated with:
 
 Our ability to raise capital necessary to sustain our anticipated operations and implement our business plan,
   
 Our ability to implement our business plan,
 
 Our ability to generate sufficient cash to pay our lenders and other creditors,
 
 Our ability to employ and retain qualified management and employees,
 
 Our dependence on the efforts and abilities of our current employees and executive officers,
 
 Changes in government regulations that are applicable to our current  or anticipated business,
 
 Changes in the demand for our services,
 
 The degree and nature of our competition,
 
 The lack of diversification of our business plan,
   
 The general volatility of the capital markets and the establishment of a market for our shares, and
   
 Disruption in the economic and financial conditions primarily from the impact of past terrorist attacks in the United States, threats of future attacks, police and military activities overseas and other disruptive worldwide political and economic events and weather conditions.
 
We are also subject to other risks detailed from time to time in our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings and elsewhere in this report. Any one or more of these uncertainties, risks and other influences could materially affect our results of operations and whether forward-looking statements made by us ultimately prove to be accurate.  Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements.  We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether from new information, future events or otherwise.
 
 
Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates include certain assumptions related to doubtful accounts receivable, stock-based services, valuation of financial instruments, and income taxes. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and concentration of credit risk. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe our estimates have not been materially inaccurate in past years, and our assumptions are not likely to change in the foreseeable future. 

On August 25, 2005, the Company entered into contracts which obligated the company under certain circumstances to issue shares of common stock in excess of the number of shares of common stock authorized. Under accounting guidance provided by FASB ASC 815-40-05, effective August 25, 2005 the Company began to account for all derivative financial instruments, including warrants, conversion features embedded in notes payable, and stock options, via the liability method of accounting. Accordingly, all these instruments are valued at issuance utilizing the Black-Scholes valuation method, and are re-valued at each period ending date, also using the Black-Scholes valuation method.  Any gain or loss from revaluation is charged to operations during the period.

(a) Warrants:

The Company values warrants using the Black-Scholes valuation model.  Warrants are valued upon issuance, and re-valued at each financial statement reporting date.  Any change in value is charged to income or expense during the period.  The following table illustrates certain key information regarding our warrants and warrant valuation assumptions at March 31, 2012 and 2011:

(b) Embedded conversion features of notes payable:

The Company accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible notes in accordance with ASC 815-10-05. ASC 815-10-05 generally requires companies to bifurcate conversion options embedded in convertible notes and preferred shares from their host instruments and to account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815-40-05.
 
 
The Company values embedded conversion features utilizing the Black-Scholes valuation model.  Conversion options are valued upon issuance, and re-valued at each financial statement reporting date.  Any change in value is charged to income or expense during the period.  The following table illustrates certain key information regarding our Conversion options and conversion option valuation assumptions at March 31, 2012 and 2011:

Background
 
We were initially formed in June 1979 as Alpha Solarco Inc., a Colorado corporation. From June 1979 through February 2003, we were either inactive or involved in discontinued business ventures. In February 2003 we changed our name to Fiber Application Systems Technology, Ltd.
 
In January 2004, we changed our state of incorporation by merging into Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. (“IVFH”), a Florida shell corporation. As a result of the merger we changed our name to that of Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. In February 2004 we also acquired Food Innovations, Inc. (“FII”) a Delaware corporation incorporated on January 9, 2002 and through FII and our other subsidiaries we are in the business of national food distribution and sales using third-party shippers. 
 
 
Transactions With a Major Customer
 
Transactions with a major customer and related economic dependence information is set forth (1) following our discussion of Liquidity and Capital Resources, (2) Concentrations of Credit Risk in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and (3) as the fourth item under Risk Factors.
 
Relationship with U.S. Foods
 
In February 2010, our subsidiary, Food Innovations, signed a new contract with U.S. Foods (“USF”).  This current contract with USF expires on December 31, 2012.  The contract is automatically renews for an additional 12-month term unless either party notifies the other in writing 30 days prior to the end date of its intent not to renew. We believe that although a significant portion of our sales occurs through the USF sales force, the success of the program is less contingent on a contract then on the actual performance and quality of our products. Other than our business arrangements with USF, we are not affiliated with either USF or its subsidiary, Next Day Gourmet, L.P. (“Next Day Gourmet”).
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is a discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

This discussion may contain forward looking-statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our future results could differ materially from the forward looking-statements discussed in this report. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere in the report.
 
Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2011

Revenue

Revenue increased by $813,777 or approximately 33% to $3,285,307 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $2,471,530 in the prior three months ended March 31, 2011.  The increase was attributable to a significant increase in sales of specialty items, produce, meat and game, cheese and seafood, and with a smaller increase in poultry products.  We continue to assess the potential of new revenue sources from the manufacture and sale of proprietary food products and additional sales channel opportunities and will implement that strategy if, based on our analysis, we deem it beneficial to us. 
 
Any changes in the food distribution operating landscape that materially hinders our current ability and/or cost to deliver our products to our customers could potentially cause a material impact on our net revenue and gross margin and, therefore, our profitability and cash flows could be adversely affected.
 
Currently, a small portion of our revenues comes from imported products or international sales. Our current sales from such segments may be hampered and negatively impacted by any economic tariffs that may be imposed in the United States or in foreign countries.

See "Transactions with Major Customers" and the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") mandated FR-60 disclosures following the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section for a further discussion of the significant customer concentrations, loss of significant customer, critical accounting policies and estimates, and other factors that could affect future results.
 
Cost of goods sold
 
Our cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $2,611,982, an increase of $719,840 or approximately 38% compared to cost of goods sold of $1,892,142 for the three month ended March 31, 2011. Cost of goods sold is primarily made up of the following expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012: cost of good of specialty, meat, game, cheese poultry and other sales categories in the amount of $1,820,969; and shipping expenses in the amount of $686,107.  The cost of goods sold increase is mainly associated with an increase in sales. The gross margin decreased in 2012 as compared to 2011 due to the addition of new product lines and due to the company’s strategy of pursuing market share in those product lines.
 
In 2012, we continued to aggressively price our products in order to gain market share and increase the number of our end users. We were successful in doing so and increased the number of our end users for the quarter by approximately 11% to more than 12,000 end users for the first quarter . We currently expect if market conditions remain constant that our cost of goods sold will stabilize and likely remain at historical levels in the first half of 2012.
 
  
Selling, general and administrative expenses
 
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $204,075 or approximately 45%, to $659,637 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $455,562 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Selling, general and administrative expenses were primarily made up of the following for the three months ended March 31, 2012: payroll and related expenses, including employee benefits, in the amount of $349,861; consulting and professional fees in the amount of $80,275; the change in fair value of the option liability in the amount of $54,587; facilities and related expenses in the amount of $28,106; insurance costs in the amount of $24,819; computer support expenses in the amount of $23,713; commissions expense in the amount of $23,038; office expense in the amount of $22,055; travel and entertainment expenses in the amount of $21,130; advertising expenses in the amount of $10,060; bad debt expense in the amount of $4,822; and amortization and depreciation expense in the amount of $2,877. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in a non-cash item the change in fair value of the option liability in the amount of $54,587 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, increased legal fees, annual meeting costs and accounting related costs.  We expect our legal fees to slightly increase in 2012 and our accounting fees in 2012 to remain constant.  We do however expect to increase our spending on advertising and marketing and web development fees in 2012. 
 
Interest expense

Interest expense decreased by $130,034, or approximately 74%, from $176,103 during the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $46,069 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Interest expense decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 as the result of the settlement of notes payable that occurred in the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
Loss  from change in fair value of warrant liability
 
At March 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 273,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Company revalued this warrant liability at March 31, 2012 at $694,835. This revaluation resulted in a loss of $193,821 which the Company charged to operations during the three months ended March 31, 2012.  This is an increase of $338,500 or approximately 234% compared to a gain of $144,679 from the revaluation of the warrant liability which the Company recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
 
Gain and loss from change in fair value of conversion option liability
 
At March 31, 2012 the Company had outstanding a liability to issue an aggregate of 218,696,200 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to convertible notes payable.  The Company revalued this liability at March 31, 2012 at $1,604,150.  This revaluation resulted in a loss of $378,435, which the Company included in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  This is an increase of $456,161 or approximately 587% compared to a gain of $77,726 from the revaluation of the conversion option liability which the Company recorded during the three months ended March, 31 2011.
 
Net Income (loss)

For the reasons above, the Company had a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 of $604,637, a decrease of $774,765 compared to a net income of $170,128 during the three months ended March 31, 2011. 
 
 Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of March 31, 2012, the Company had current assets of $1,355,471, consisting of cash of $818,164, trade accounts receivable of $506,545, inventory of $25,342, and other current assets of $5,420.  Also at March 31, 2012, the Company had current liabilities of  $5,305,334, consisting of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $986,543 (of which $87,780 is payable to a related party); accrued interest of $677,555; accrued interest – related parties of $31,999; current portion of notes payable, net of discounts of $962,982; current portion of notes payable – related parties, net of discounts of $130,500; warrant liability of $694,835; option liability of $216,770; and conversion option liability of $1,604,150. 
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company had cash used in operating activities of $28,300.  This consisted of the Company’s net loss of $604,637, offset by charges to operations $2,877 for depreciation and amortization, $21,864 for the amortization of the discount on accrued convertible interest, $193,821 loss for the revaluation of the warrant liability, $378,435 loss for the revaluation of the conversion option liability, and a $54,587 loss for the revaluation of the option liability.  The Company’s results also reflect a increase in working capital deficiency of $559,850
 
The Company had cash used by financing activities of $16,000, in 2012, which consisted of principal payments on debt of $16,000.  
 
 
Historically, our primary cash requirements have been used to fund the cost of operations, with additional funds having been used in promotion and advertising and in connection with the exploration of new business lines.
 
The Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $3,949,863 as of March 31, 2012.  By adjusting its operation and development to the level of available resources, management believes it has sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow through the next twelve months. The Company also intends to focus on increasing market share and cash flow from operations by focusing its sales activities on specific market segments and new product lines. However, if thereafter, the Company is not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.  Currently, we do not have any material long-term obligations other than those described in Note 8 to the financial statements included in this report. As we seek to increase our sales of perishables, as well as identify new and other consumer oriented products and services, we may use existing cash reserves, long-term financing, or other means to finance such diversification.

If the Company’s cash flow from operations is insufficient, the Company may require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern.  The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. The Company expects that any sale of additional equity securities or convertible debt will result in additional dilution to our stockholders.

In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion, repay its debt obligations as they become due or respond to competitive pressures, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. The Company has not made any adjustments to the financial statements which would be necessary should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern.
 
The independent auditors’ reports on our December 31, 2011 and 2010 financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the two years then ended states that our working capital deficiency raises substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
 
Inflation
 
In the opinion of management, inflation has not had a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of its operations.
 
Subsequent Event

For a discussion of events which occurred subsequent to the end of the quarter but which may impact our performance going forward, see Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 12.
 
RISK FACTORS

The Company’s business and success is subject to numerous risk factors as detailed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 which is available at no cost at www.sec.gov.
