Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share

In accordance with FASB ASC 260-10-45 (“ASC 260-10-45”, formerly referred to as SFAS No. 128), "Earnings Per Share," the basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders less preferred dividends by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similarly to basic loss per common share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were not anti-dilutive.

 

Diluted loss per share was not separately computed for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as the effect would be to reduce loss per share.

Liquidity

 

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had net loss of $1,050,443 and net income of $1,281,343 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  This  variance was principally due to non-cash adjustments made concerning the changes in the amount of liabilities related to the values of warrants, stock options, and conversion options rather to differences in actual operating results. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $7,637,286 at March 31, 2010.  In addition, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by  $5,281,861 as of March 31, 2010. Consequently, its operations are subject to all ris ks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise.

Historically, we have funded our operations from cash generated by operations and from the issuance of both debt and equity securities.  The Company’s cash on hand may be insufficient to fund its planned operating needs.  Management is continuing to pursue new debt and/or equity financing and is continually evaluating the Company’s cash and capital needs.

 

The Company expects that any sale of additional equity securities or convertible debt will result in additional dilution to our stockholders.  The Company can give no assurance that it will be able to generate adequate funds from operations, that funds will be available, or the Company will be able to obtain such funds on favorable terms and conditions.  If the Company cannot generate positive cash flow from operations or secure additional funds, it will not be able to continue as a going concern.

 

By adjusting its operations 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 increase market share and cash flow from operations by focusing its sales activities on specific market segments. However, if thereafter, the Company is not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms it finds acceptable, 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 9 to the financial statements included in this report, nor have we identified any long-term obligations t hat we contemplate incurring in the near future. 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.

 

The independent auditors report on our December 31, 2009 financial statements state that our recurring losses raise substantial doubts about our ability as a going concern.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash  in investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of applicable government mandated insurance limit. At March 31, 2010 and 2009, trade receivables from the Company’s largest customer amounted to 92% and 95%, respectively, of total trade receivables.  During the three months ended March 31, 2010, over 90% of our revenues came from one customer.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain reclassifications have been made in prior year’s financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under the provisions of FASB ASC 718-10 (formerly referred to as SFAS 123R), Share-Based Payment. This statement requires the Company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period in which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which is usually the vesting period.

In August 2005, the Company’s commitments to issue shares of common stock first exceeded its common stock authorized. At this time, the Company began to value its stock options via the liability method of accounting. Pursuant to guidance in ASC 780-10 the cost of these options are valued via the Black-Scholes valuation method when issued, and re-valued at each reporting period.  The gain or loss from this revaluation is charged to compensation expense during the period.  Options expense and gain or loss on revaluation during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are summarized in the table below:

 

		Three Months ended March 31,
		2010				2009
Option expense		$	28,901			$	-
Gain on revaluation of options		$	84,360			$	(87,425	)

Options outstanding as of December 31, 2009, and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2010 are presented below:

						Weighted
						Average
		Number of				Exercise
		Shares				Price
Options outstanding at December 31, 2009			53,000,000			$	(a)
Granted			10,500,000				(b)
Exercised			-				-
Cancelled/Expired			-				-
Options outstanding at March 31, 2010			63,500,000			$	(c)
Non-vested			19,875,000				(d)
Vested			43,625,000			$	0.006

 

(a) Consists of options to purchase 4,625,000 shares at a price of $0.076 per share; 15,000,000 shares at a price of $0.005 per share; 22,000,000 shares at a price of $0.007 per share; and unvested options to purchase 19,875,000 shares at a price of 120% of the closing market price on the date of vesting.

(b) Consists of options to purchase 2,625,000 shares at a price of $0.076 per share, and unvested options to purchase 7,875,000 shares at a price of 120% of the closing market price on the date of vesting.

(c) Consists of options to purchase 43,625,000 shares at a price of $0.006 per share, plus the shares described in note (d) below.

(d) Consists of unvested options to purchase 19,875,000 shares at a price of 120% of the closing market price on the date of vesting.

Aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable at March 31, 2010 was $19,500. Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the company's closing stock price on the last trading day of the fiscal period, which was $0.0063 at March 31, 2010, and the exercise price multiplied by the number of options outstanding. The total fair value of options vested was $28,901 and $0 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.  As of March 31, 2010, options to purchase 19,875,000 shares of common stock are unvested. The exercise price of these options will be 120% of the Company’s stock price on the date of vesting.  These shares would be valued at a total of $124,192 based upon the Company’s stock price at March 31, 2010.

Going Concern

 

The accompanying 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 has reported a net loss of $1,050,443 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, and  had an accumulated deficit of  $7,638,286 as of March 31, 2010.  The Company’s net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010 of  $1,050,443  was generated primarily by non-cash transactions, including non-cash expenses of $14,500 on the revaluation of the warrant liability, $821,187 for the revaluation of the conversion option liability, and $134,216 for the value of the discount on the convertible notes payable in excess of the fair value of the convertible notes payable. The Company cannot be certain that anticipated revenues from operations will be sufficient to satisfy its ongoing capital requirements.  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 plane, which in turn is based on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect.  If the Company’s financial resources are 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, th e 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.

Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-11, which is included in the Codification under ASC 815.  This update clarifies the type of embedded credit derivative that is exempt from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements.  Only an embedded credit derivative that is related to the subordination of one financial instrument to another qualifies for the exemption.  This guidance became effective for the Company’s interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2010.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, which is included in the Codification under ASC 855, Subsequent Events (“ASC 855”).  This update removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and became effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2010.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, which is included in the Codification under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”).  This update requires the disclosure of transfers between the observable input categories and activity in the unobservable input category for fair value measurements.  The guidance also requires disclosures about the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and became effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2010.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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”, formerly referred to as SFAS No. 133) ‘‘Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities’’ and FASB ASC 815-40-05 (“ASC 815-40-05”, formerly referred to as EITF 00-19) ‘‘Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock”. 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, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had outstanding   $1,743,244  and $1,771,244 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 $2,170,984 and $1,384,992 at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.  The fair value of these embedded conversion options were estimated at March 31, 2010 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:  risk free interest rate of 0.20%; expected dividend yield of 0%; expected option life  of 10; and volatility of 239%.  The fair value of these embedded co nversion options were estimated at December 31, 2009 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:  risk free interest rate of 0.20%; expected dividend yield of 0%; expected option life  of 10; and volatility of 302.87%.  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, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded a loss of $821,187 and a gain of $345,600, respectively, due to the change in value of the conversion option liability.  If all convertible options were converted, 344,648,800 additional shares would be issueable.

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, 2010 and 2009, a conversion option in the amount of $35,195 and $0, respectively, was 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 as original issue discount 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 (“ASC 470-50-40”, and formerly referred to as EITF 96-19), “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments” and FASB ASC 470-50-40 (“ASC 470-50-40”, and formerly referred to as EITF 06-6, “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification (or Exchange) of Convertible Debt Instruments”) 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 vary 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 conv ersion options accounted for as a derivative liability.

During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company negotiated the extension of three of its notes payable in the aggregate amount of $160,000.  As consideration for the extension, the Company agreed to add a convertibility feature to the notes.  Because this note falls under the exception in ASC 470-50-40 regarding the addition of conversion options accounted for as a derivative liability, the Company accounted for this transaction as a modification of the existing note. The conversion option liability was valued at the amount of $127,450 at the date of the issuance of the extension via the Black-Scholes method. This amount was debited to discount on notes payable, and is being amortized via the effective interest method over the extended term of the related notes.

  

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company negotiated the further extension of these three notes payable in the aggregate amount of $160,000.  As consideration for the new extension, the Company provided warrants to purchase an aggregate 43,200,000 shares of common stock.  The Company valued these warrants at the date of issuance via the Black-Scholes valuation method at $168,620.  The value of these warrants are considered a component of the 10% present value calculation under ASC 470-50-40. The Company accounted for this transaction as an extinguishment of debt, and recorded a loss on extinguishment in the amount of $168,620.  This amount was charged to operations during the year ended December 31, 2008.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company negotiated further extensions of its notes payable in the aggregate amount of $587,000.  The Company extended the maturity dates to 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 have agreed to the original interest rate of 8% per annum.

Also during the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company negotiated the extension of its notes payable in the aggregate amount of $138,000.  The Company extended the maturity date of these notes until February 15, 2010.

Embedded conversion features of notes payable:

The Company accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible notes in accordance with FASB ASC 815-10-05 (“ASC 815-10-05”, and formerly referred to as SFAS No. 133) and FASB ASC 815-40-05 (“ASC 815-40-05”, and formerly referred to as EITF 00-19). 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 operations other (income) expense during the period.  The following table illustrates certain key information regarding our conversion option  valuation assumptions for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009:

10. 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 $2,400,000,  which will expire beginning in 2028.  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. Based upon our cumulative losses through March 31, 2010, we have provided a valuation allowance reducing the net realizable benefits of these ded uctible differences to $0 at March 31, 2010.  The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable could change in the near term if projected future taxable income is realized.   In the event of  significant changes in the Company's ownership, the Company's future use of its existing net operating losses may be limited.

INNOVATIVE FOOD HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2010

(Unaudited)

 

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 (“ASC 815-40-15” and formerly referred to as EITF 00-19). 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 or (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement in shares (physical or net-share settlement). At March 31, 2010  and 2009, the Company had  no freestanding d erivative 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 815-40-05 ,"If a contract is reclassified from permanent or temporary equity t o 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, and from that time on, the Company changed the way in which it accounts for the beneficial conversion feature of convertible notes payable (see note 8).

 

The accounting guidance states 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, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized a loss of $14,500 and a gain of $710,411, respectively, for the change in the fair value of the warrant liability and recorded the gains and losses in operations during the three months ended March 31, 2010  and 2009. 

  

The Company valued warrants using the Black-Scholes valuation model utilizing the following variables:

 

		March 31,				December 31,
		2010				2009
Volatility			239.32-266.73	%			302.87-386.12	%

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 diffe r 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 (formerly referred to as EITF 00-19), 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 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009:

		March 31,
		2010				2009
Number of warrants outstanding			273,200,000				273,200,000

b.) Embedded conversion features of notes payable:

The Company accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible notes in accordance with FASB ASC 815-10-05 (formerly referred to as SFAS No. 133)  and FASB ASC 815-40-05 (formerly referred to as EITF 00-19).  FASB ASC 815-10-05 (formerly referred to as  SFAS 133) 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 FASB ASC 815-40-05 (formerly referred to as EITF 00-19).

 

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 option  valuation assumptions at March 31, 2010 and 2009:

c.)   Stock options

The Company accounts for options in accordance FASB ASC 718-40 (formerly referred to as SFAS 123(R)).  Options are valued upon issuance, and re-valued at each financial statement reporting date, utilizing the Black-Scholes valuation model.   Option expense is recognized over the requisite service period of the related option award. Any change in value is charged to income or expense during the period.  The following table illustrates certain key information regarding our options and option assumptions for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009:

		March 31,
		2010				2009
Number of vested options outstanding			43,625,000				35,500,000

Doubtful Accounts Receivable

 

The Company maintained an allowance in the amount of $5,651 for doubtful accounts receivable at March 31, 2010, and $3,574 at December 31, 2009. Actual losses on accounts receivable were $0 for 2010 and 2009. The Company has an operational relationship of several years with our major customers, and we believe this experience provides us with a solid foundation from which to estimate our expected losses on accounts receivable. Should our sales mix change or if we develop new lines of business or new customers, these estimates and our estimation process will change accordingly. These estimates have been accurate in the past.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The estimated fair values approximate their carrying value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments or the stated interest rates are indicative of market interest rates. These fair values also vary due to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of valuation. Generally, these liabilities will increase as the price of the Company’s stock increases (with resultant gain), and decrease as the Company’s stock decreases (yielding a loss). These fluctuations are likely to continue as long as the Company has large financial instrument liabilities on its balance sheet. Should the Company succeed in removing these liabilities from its balance sheet, eith er by satisfying them or by reclassifying them as equity; the amount of gains and losses recognized will be reduced.

 

Income Taxes

The Company has a history of losses, and as such has recorded no liability for income taxes. Until such time as the Company begins to generate a profit and provides evidence that a continued profit is a reasonable expectation, management will not determine that there is a basis for accruing an income tax liability. These estimates have been accurate in the past as the Company has not yet generated a profit

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 we are in the business of national food distribution 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) under the heading Concentrations of Credit Risk  in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and (3) as the fourth risk factor listed under Forward Looking Statements.

 

Background

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the company and related notes included elsewhere in this Report and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is a discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

This discussion may contain forward looking-statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from the forward looking-statements discussed in this report. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere in the report.

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2009

Revenue

Revenue increased by $707,286, or  approximately 44%, to $2,307,961 for the three months March 31, 2010 from $1,600,675 during  the three months ended March 31, 2009. Sizable sales increases in  Seafoods, Meat and Game, and Cheese more than offset sales decreases in Poultry, Produce,  and Specialty lines. 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 fresh produce 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, 2010 was $1,769,726, an increase of $582,032 or approximately 49%  compared to cost of goods sold  of $1,187,694 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Cost of goods sold increased because of the costs involved in fulfilling additional sales   made and is primarily comprised  of the following expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010: cost of goods sold of specialty meat, game, cheese, poultry and other sales categories in the amount of $1,192,456, and shipping expenses in the amount of $498,360.  Shipping costs increased by $210,250 in  2010 versus 2009, while cost of specialty meat, game, cheese poultry and other sales categories increased by $217,358.  For the three months ended March 31, 2010 the gross margin was 23% as compared to 26% for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $541,365 for the three months ended  March 31, 2010, an increase of $242,229, or approximately 81%, compared to $299,136 for the three months ended March 31, 2009.  The increase was due mainly to increases in  non-cash stock option revaluation expense, which is the result of the Company’s higher stock price. This results in a higher recorded option value  under GAAP rules.  The primary components of selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were payroll and related costs of $234,403;  change in fair value of the option liability of $84,360; consulting and professional fees of $70,478; non-cash compensation in the amount of $31,901; insurance costs of $26,045;  f acilities costs of $26,776; software expense of $21,519; commission expense of $9,131; amortization and depreciation of $7,760; and office expense of $6,352. We expect our legal fees to decrease in 2010 and our accounting fees in 2010 to remain constant as we have primarily addressed the SEC’s comments to our previous filings.  We do however expect to increase our spending on advertising and marketing and web development fees in 2010.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased by $33,759, or approximately 30%, from $111,169 during the three months ended March 31, 2009 to $77,410 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Interest expense decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2009 as the result of the negotiation of an extension of the maturity dates of notes payable in the aggregate of $587,000, at this time the Company also negotiated the default interest rate and the noteholders agreed to the original interest rate of 8% (see note 9).

Gain and loss from change in fair value of warrant liability

 

At March 31, 2010, the Company has outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate 272,200,000  shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Company valued this warrant liability at March 31, 2010, at $780,569.    This revaluation resulted in a loss of $14,500,  which the Company charged to operations during the three months ended March 31, 2010.  This is a decrease of $724,911  or approximately 102% compared to a gain of $710,411  from the revaluation of the warrant liability which the Company recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Gain and loss from change in fair value of conversion option liability

 

At March 31, 2010, the Company had outstanding a liability to issue an aggregate of 344,648,800 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to convertible notes payable.  The Company revalued this liability at March 31, 2010 at $2,170,984.  This revaluation resulted in a loss of $821,187,  which the Company included in operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010.  This is a decrease  of $1,166,787 or approximately 337% compared to a gain of $345,600  from the revaluation of the conversion option liability which the Company recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Net Income

For the reasons stated above, net loss for  the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $1,050,443, a decrease of $2,331,786 compared to net income of $1,281,343, during the three months ended March 31, 2009. It is important to  note that  a substantial portion of these gains and losses are the result of non-cash items, such as the revaluation of warrant liability, option liability, and conversion option liability, as well as the gain and loss on the extinguishment of debt.  These non-cash items of income and expense  had no direct impact on our cash flows during the periods ended March 31, 2010 or 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2010, the Company had current assets of $885,859, consisting of cash of $210,810, trade accounts receivable of $492,629,  loans receivable of $142,050, inventory of $34,850, and other current assets of  $5,520.  Also, at March 31, 2010, the Company had current liabilities of  $6,167,720, consisting of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $975,748 (of which $145,085 is payable to a related party); accrued interest of  $572,070; accrued interest – related parties of $175,480; current portion of notes payable, net of discounts of $889,481; current portion of notes payable – related parties, net of discounts of $345,500; warrant liability of $780,569; option liability of $257,888; and conversion option liability of $2,170,984.  This resulted in a working capital deficit of $5,281,861.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company had cash provided by operating activities of $74,548. The Company had the following non-cash items during the period:  non-cash costs of  $7,760 for depreciation and amortization, $169,117 for non-cash compensation,  $27,880 for the amortization of the discount on accrued interest, $821,187 for the revaluation of the conversion option liability, and $13,051 for the amortization of the discount on notes payable; $14,500 for the revaluation of the warrant liability, and $84,360 for the revaluation of the option liability.  The Company also had a change in the components of working capital during the period that generated a increase in of cash in the amount of&# 160; $12,864.

 

The Company had cash used by investing activities  of $7,079, which consisted of payments made for the acquisitions of property and equipment of $8,079, partially offset by principal payments received on a loan receivable of $1,000.

The Company had cash used by financing activities of $1,424, which consisted of  principal payments on debt.  

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 cash on hand may be insufficient to fund its planned operating needs.  Management is continuing to pursue new debt and/or equity financing and is continually evaluating the Company’s cash and capital needs.

 

The Company expects that any sale of additional equity securities or convertible debt will result in additional dilution to our stockholders.  The Company can give no assurance that it will be able to generate adequate funds from operations, that funds will be available, or the Company will be able to obtain such funds on favorable terms and conditions.  If  the Company cannot secure additional funds it will not be able to continue as a going concern according to the current business plan.

 

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 increase market share and cash flow from operations by focusing its sales activities on specific market segments. 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, nor have we identified any long-term obligations that we contemplate incurring in the near future. 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.

 

The independent auditors report on our December 31, 2009 financial statements state that our recurring losses raise substantial doubts about our ability 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.

 

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, 2009 which is available at no cost at www.sec.gov.

ITEM 4T - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, among other things, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, have concluded that as of that date, our disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. The conclusions notwithstanding, you are advised that no system is foolproof.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15 that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

This quarterly report  does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s reports in this quarterly report.
