Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
Certain statements in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute “forward-looking” statements as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “PSLRA”) or in releases made by the Securities and Exchange Commission, all as may be amended from time to time. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Integrated BioPharma, Inc. (the “Company”) or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical fact are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by, among other things, the use of forward-looking language, such as the words, “plan”, “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “project”, “may”, “will”, “would”, “could”, “should”, “seeks”, or “scheduled to”, or other similar words, or the negative of these terms or other variations of these terms or comparable language, or by discussion of strategy or intentions. These cautionary statements are being made pursuant to the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the PSLRA with the intention of obtaining the benefits of the “safe harbor” provisions of such laws. The Company cautions investors that any forward-looking statements made by the Company are not guarantees or indicative of future performance. Important assumptions and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forward-looking statements with respect to the Company, include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties affecting its businesses described in Items 1 and 1A of the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010 and in registration statements and other securities filings by the Company. Although the Company believes that its plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from a projection or assumption in any of the forward-looking statements and are subject to change due inherent risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made only as of the date hereof and the Company does not have or undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, subsequent events or otherwise, unless otherwise required by law.

Note 1. Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying condensed financial statements for the interim periods are unaudited and include the accounts of the Company. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and therefore do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the periods presented have been included. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 (“10-K”), as filed with the SEC. The June 30, 2010 balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 or for any other period.

Integrated BioPharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”), is engaged primarily in manufacturing, distributing, marketing and sales of vitamins, nutritional supplements and herbal products.  The Company’s customers are located primarily in the United States. The Company was previously known as Integrated Health Technologies, Inc. and, prior to that, as Chem International, Inc. The Company was reincorporated in its current form in Delaware in 1995. The Company continues to do business as Chem International, Inc. with certain of its customers and certain vendors.

The Company’s nutraceutical business includes: InB:Manhattan Drug Company, Inc. (“Manhattan Drug”), which manufactures vitamins and nutritional supplements for sale to distributors, multilevel marketers and specialized health-care providers; AgroLabs, Inc. (“AgroLabs”), which distributes for sale through major mass market, grocery, drug and vitamin retailers, healthful nutritional products under the following brands: Naturally Noni, Naturally Pomegranate, Naturally Aloe, Aloe Pure, Naturally Thai Mangosteen, Peaceful Sleep, Green Envy, 1st Choice Multi-Vitamin, ACAI Extra, ACAI Immune, ACAI Cleanse, and other products which are being introduced into the market, these are referred to as our branded proprietary nutraceutical business and/or products; and The Vitamin Factory, which sells private label Manhattan Drug products, through mail order catalogs and the Internet.

The Company also distributes fine natural chemicals through its wholly-owned subsidiary IHT Health Products, Inc. and is a distributor of certain raw materials for DSM Nutritional Products, Inc.

Principles of Consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and any majority-owned investment. Intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.
 
Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its 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. The most significant estimates include:

·  
sales returns and allowances;
·  
trade marketing and merchandising;
·  
allowance for doubtful accounts;
·  
inventory valuation;
·  
valuation and recoverability of long-lived and intangible assets, including the values assigned to acquired intangible assets; and
·  
income taxes and valuation allowance on deferred income taxes.

On a continual basis, management reviews its estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Nothing has come to our attention which would cause a change in these estimates.

Investment in iBio, Inc. The Company accounts for its investment in iBio on the cost basis as it retained approximately 6% of its interest in iBio at the time of the spin-off of this subsidiary in August 2008. The Company reviews its investment in iBio for impairment and records a loss when there is deemed to be an impairment of the investment.

Revenue Recognition. For product sales, the Company recognizes revenue when the product’s title and risk of loss transfers to the customer. The Company believes this revenue recognition practice is appropriate because the Company’s sales policies meet the following four criteria: (i) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s sales policy is to require customers to provide purchase orders establishing selling prices and shipping terms. The Company evaluates the credit risk of each customer and establishes an allowance of doubtful accounts for any credit risk. Sales returns and allowances are estimated upon shipment.

Shipping and Handling Costs. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales.

Trade Marketing and Merchandising. In order to support the Company’s proprietary Nutraceutical product lines, various promotional activities are conducted through the retail trade, distributors or directly with consumers, including in-store display and product placement programs, feature price discounts, coupons, and other similar activities. The Company regularly reviews and revises, when it deems necessary, estimates of costs to the Company for these promotional programs based on estimates of what will be redeemed by the retail trade, distributors, or consumers. These estimates are made using various techniques, including historical data on performance of similar promotional programs. Differences between estimated expense and actual performance are generally not material and are recognized as a change in management’s estimate in a subsequent period.

Supplemental Statement of Cash Flows
 
 
Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per common share amounts are based on weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the incremental shares that would have been outstanding upon the assumed exercise of all potentially dilutive stock options, warrants and convertible preferred stock, subject to anti-dilution limitations using the treasury stock method.

Note 2. Liquidity and Going Concern

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses and negative operating cash flows for four consecutive years including a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $5,535 and negative operating cash flows of $132 for the year ended June 30, 2010.  For the six months ended December 31, 2010, the Company had operating income of $754, a net loss of $424 and had positive operating cash flows of $1,145.  As of December 31, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,600, a working capital deficit of $9,886, primarily attributable to the classification of the amended Notes Payable (See Note 6(a)(ii)) in the amount of $7,805, which matured on November 15, 2009, the Convertible Note Payable in the amount of $4,298 (stated principal amount of $4,500), due in February 2011 (See Note 6(a)(i)) and an accumulated deficit of $50,324.  These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.
 
The Company defaulted on the $7,805 outstanding amount of Notes Payable by failing to repay them on the scheduled maturity date of November 15, 2009. The Notes Payable are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the Company’s assets. On March 19, 2010, the Company received a payment demand (the “Notice”) for default interest (18% per annum) from one of the holders of the Notes Payable representing approximately 73% of the outstanding balance (the “Holder”).  As of February 14, 2011, the Company has not repaid the Notes Payable or the default interest referenced in the Notice.  However, the Company and the Holder continue to negotiate in good faith to amend the terms of the Holder’s Notes Payable, to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date of the Notes Payable to April 15, 2011, (ii) modify certain covenants and (iii) require a pledge by two of the most significant shareholders and directors of the Company, E. Gerald Kay and Carl DeSantis of additional collateral, as well as limited personal guarantees by them. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to finalize the restructuring or amendment of the Notes Payable.  In the interim, the Company has continued to make timely interest payments to the Note Payable holders at the non default rate of 8% per annum and is evaluating its strategic alternatives, which may include business divestitures, developing business and sales strategies to increase operating income, the sale of some or all of the Company’s assets or operating subsidiaries and/or capital restructuring plans.  In addition, if the Company is unsuccessful in finalizing the contemplated debt restructuring with respect to the Notes Payable with its current lenders and/or replacing its current lenders, its ability to continue as a going concern could be further impacted.  As of February 14, 2011, the Company has not received any additional demand payment notices for payment in full of the Company’s obligations; however, the amended Note Holders continue to reserve their rights and remedies under the Securities Purchase Agreement and the related Notes Payable.
 
If the Notes Payable are not restructured, and as a result of the event of default that arose based upon the Company’s failure to pay the Notes at maturity, the note holders have the right, to give the Company an Acceleration Notice, which would (i) accelerate the payment of all unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest (including default interest (if any)) on the Notes Payable, and (ii) require the Company to pay an amount equal to the sum of all of the amounts described in the preceding clause (i) in same day funds on the payment date specified in the notice, provided such date must be at least two (2) business days following the date on which the notice is delivered to the Company. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital or successfully refinance the full outstanding amount of its amended Notes Payable upon acceptable terms, it would have a material adverse effect on the Company, including the possible foreclosure by the note holders of the Company’s assets.

Amortization expense from continuing operations recorded on the intangible assets for each of the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 was $35 and $69, respectively. Amortization expense is recorded on the straight-line method over periods ranging from 2 years to 20 years based on contractual or estimated lives of the intangible assets and is included in selling and administrative expenses.

The estimated annual amortization expense for intangible assets for the five succeeding fiscal years is as follows:

Depreciation and amortization expense was $86 and $79 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively and $170 and $154 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In the six months ended December 31, 2010, the Company disposed of fully depreciated machinery and equipment in the amount of $137 for a gain of $30.

Note 6. Notes Payable, Convertible Note Payable – CD Financial, LLC and Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

(a) On February 21, 2008, the Company entered into two Securities Purchase Agreements (the "SPAs") relating to a private placement of securities with two investors, one of whom is an affiliate of Carl DeSantis, a director of the Company, which resulted in gross proceeds, in the aggregate, of $17,337 to the Company. The private placement involved the sale of (i) 6,000 shares of newly designated Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”) with a stated value of $1,000 per share (all of the Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock was converted into the Company’s common stock in July and August 2008), (ii) $4,500 in principal amount of 9.5% Convertible Note Payable (the “Convertible Note Payable”), (iii) $7,000 in principal amount of 8.0% Notes Payable (the “Notes Payable”) and (iv) 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company also has recorded $218 of deferred financing costs associated with the SPAs and $130 of such deferred financing costs were netted against the gross proceeds received. These costs were allocated to each of the components of the transaction, based on the relative fair values and are amortized based on the terms of the component of the transaction to which the costs were allocated. As of December 31 and June 30, 2010, the Company had $3 and $20 of deferred financing costs remaining, respectively. As of December 31, 2010, the remaining balance will be amortized to interest expense over the ensuing two months. The Notes Payable and the Convertible Note Payable are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the Company’s assets. Concurrently with entry into the SPAs, the Company terminated its outstanding credit facilities with Amalgamated Bank in the amount of $16,333 with the repayment of $16,006.
 
 
(i) CD Financial, LLC (“CD Financial”), a related party, provided gross proceeds of $7,500, exclusive of a $163 discount to be repaid by the Company at a future date (included in accrued expenses as of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010 in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet), in exchange for 3,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, with a stated value of $1,000 per share, and $4,500 in principal amount of Convertible Note Payable. The Company allocated the proceeds and the discount based on the relative fair value of the Convertible Note Payable and the Series C Preferred Stock. The Company is amortizing to interest expense the discount applied to the Convertible Note Payable over the term of the note, and charged to Additional Paid in Capital the discount applied to the Series C Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, the unpaid discount on the Series C Preferred Stock and Convertible Note Payable in the amount of $163 is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
 
10
 
 
 

 
 
As of July 1, 2009, the Company recorded an accumulated adjustment to account for the embedded derivative liability of the conversion feature of the Convertible Note Payable, resulting in a decrease to additional paid in capital of $715, a decrease in accumulated deficit of $2,097, a decrease in the carry value of the Convertible Note Payable of $1,426 and the recognition of a derivative liability of $44.  As of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, the related derivative liability to the Convertible Note Payable had no value.  As of December 31, 2010, the remaining discount of $200 is being accreted to interest expense until maturity of the Convertible Note Payable.

The Company used the following assumptions to calculate the fair value of the derivative liability (assuming that 2,250,000 shares of common stock are converted) using the Black-Scholes option pricing model:

The Convertible Note Payable bears interest at an annual rate of 9.5% and matures on or before February 21, 2011. It may be converted, at any time and at the holder’s option, into shares of our common stock based on a conversion price as set out in the Convertible Note Payable. The conversion price is a formula that bases the conversion price on the greater of (i) 90% of the average Volume Weighted Average Price (the "VWAP") market price of our common stock for 20 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date and (ii) $2.00, subject to adjustment in the event of a stock dividend, stock split or combination, reclassification or similar event and upon certain issuances below the conversion price. We have the option to prepay the Convertible Note Payable.

Included in Interest Expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, is the following accretion costs:
 

 
As of December 31, 2010, the Company had interest in arrears of $217 on the Convertible Note Payable.  In March 2009, the Company and CD Financial entered into an oral agreement to suspend the cash interest payments on the Convertible Note Payable until the Company returned to positive cash flows in its operations.  In this oral agreement, CD Financial agreed not to give any default notices or increase interest rates due to such default (the default interest rate as defined in the Convertible Note Payable is 18%).  The Company resumed interest payments on the Convertible Note Payable in August of 2009.  In March 2010, CD Financial orally agreed to defer the interest owed for April 2010 until the Company returned to positive cash flows, in the amount of $36, to assist the Company in meeting its short term cash flow requirements.  Monthly interest payments resumed for the May 2010 interest owed.
 
11
 
 

 
 
Also, in accordance with the Convertible Note Payable, the Company will issue and deliver to CD Financial, for no additional consideration, 50,000 shares of common stock, on a quarterly basis in arrears, commencing with the three-month anniversary of the issuance date, until the Convertible Note Payable has been repaid in full, after which the Company's obligations to issue shares of common stock will no longer be applicable.

(ii) Imperium provided gross proceeds of $9,837, including a discount of $163, in exchange for 3,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, with a stated value of $1,000 per share, $7,000 in principal amount of 8.0% Notes Payable and 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Notes Payable originally matured on February 21, 2009. The Company allocated the proceeds and the discount based on the relative fair value of the Notes Payable, the Series C Preferred Stock and the Company’s common stock. The Company amortized, to interest expense, the discount applied to the Notes Payable over the term of the notes and charged to Additional Paid in Capital the discounts applied to the Series C Preferred Stock and the common stock. The Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature on the Series C Preferred Stock of $608. The beneficial conversion feature was accreted over the five-year maturity period until the redemption of the Series C Preferred Stock in August 2008. The beneficial conversion features were accreted using the effective interest rate method.

On October 14, 2008, the Company and the Notes Payable holders amended their SPA to extend the maturity from February 21, 2009 to November 15, 2009 (See Note 2. Liquidity and Going Concern). In consideration for extending the maturity of the Notes Payable, the Notes Payable holders will forgo the 200,000 shares of common stock as additional interest and the Company  (i) granted a 11.5% premium on the principal, thus aggregating a principal balance due of $7,805 and certain other amounts payable under the Notes Payable, if any, (ii) certain new covenants are applicable to the Company effective October 14, 2009, (iii) the Company issued warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, with a five year term at an exercise price of $0.80 per share, and (iv) the registration of the resale of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock for which the warrants are exercisable.

The amended Notes Payable in the amount of $7,000 bear an interest rate of 8.0% and matured on November 15, 2009. The Company accreted the premium of $805 over the term of the amendment, using the effective interest method, which resulted in additional interest expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2009 of $96 and $288. As of July 1, 2009, the warrants issued were deemed to have a derivative liability resulting in an accumulated adjustment to account for the embedded derivative liability of the strike price resulting in a decrease to additional paid in capital of $169, a decrease in accumulated deficit of $140.  As of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, the related derivative liability to the amended Notes Payable had estimated fair values of $12 and $18 which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying condensed balance sheets.

The Company used the following assumptions to calculate the fair value of the derivative liability using the Black-Scholes option pricing model:


 
 
12
 
 
 

 
 
The discount to the amended Notes Payable for the warrants which is being accreted using the effective interest method resulted in interest expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2009 $22 and $65, respectively. There was no such expense recorded for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010.  The Company also recorded an additional $10 of deferred financing costs as a result of the issuance of the amended Notes Payable.
 
On March 19, 2010, the Company received a payment demand (the “Notice”) for default interest (18% per annum) from one of the holders of the Notes Payable representing approximately 73% of the outstanding balance (the “Holder”). As of February 14, 2011, the Company has not repaid the Notes Payable or the default interest referenced in the Notice.  However, the Company and the Holder continue to negotiate to amended the terms of the Holder’s Notes Payable (i) extend the maturity date of the Notes Payable to April 15, 2011, (ii) modify certain covenants and (iii) require a pledge by the Company of additional collateral, as well as personal guarantees by two of the most significant shareholders and directors of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to negotiate a successful restructuring or amendment of the Notes Payable.  In the interim, the Company has continued to make timely interest payments to the Note Payable holders at the non default rate of 8% per annum.  As of February 14, 2011, the Company has not received any additional demand payment notices for payment in full of the Company’s obligations; however, the amended Note Holders continue to reserve their rights and remedies under the Securities Purchase Agreement and the related Notes Payable.  If the Notes Payable are not restructured, and as a result of the event of default that arose based upon the Company’s failure to pay the Notes at maturity, the note holders have the right, to give the Company an Acceleration Notice, which would (i) accelerate the payment of all unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest (including default interest (if any)) on the Notes Payable, and (ii) require the Company to pay an amount equal to the sum of all of the amounts described in the preceding clause (i) in same day funds on the payment date specified in the notice, provided such date must be at least two (2) business days following the date on which the notice is delivered to the Company.
 
(b) On November 24, 2009, Manhattan Drug, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a $300 promissory note (the “CD Note”) with CD Financial (see Note 6(a)(i)).  The CD Note matured on November 24, 2010 and bears interest at the rate of 5%.  Interest is accrued monthly and is payable upon maturity.  As of December 31, 2010, the CD Note remains outstanding.  Interest in the amount of $15, accrued for the period from the issuance date, November 24, 2009, through November 30, 2010, was paid in December 2010.  The CD Note is expected to remain outstanding until the Company satisfies the Company’s obligations under the amended Notes Payable, (see Note 6(a)(ii)).

(c) On July 29, 2010, Manhattan Drug, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a second promissory note in the amount of $40 (the “CD $40 Note”) with CD Financial (see Note 6(a)(i)).  The CD $40 Note matured on October 29, 2010 and bore interest at the rate of 5%; Manhattan Drug repaid the CD $40 Note on October 29, 2010.  Interest was accrued monthly and was paid on maturity.

The following table presents the stated value/principal of each of the securities issued in connection with the debt outstanding as of December 31, 2010:

The weighted average interest rate paid was 8.59% in each of the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.  As of December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, the Company had accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $302 and $300, respectively, for the Notes Payable and Convertible Note Payable.  (See Note 6(a) above).

Note 7. Significant Risks and Uncertainties

(a) Concentrations of Credit Risk-Cash. The Company maintains balances at several financial institutions. Deposits at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had $1.1 million of uninsured deposits at these financial institutions.

(b) Concentrations of Credit Risk-Receivables. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers, establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowances is limited. The Company does not require collateral in relation to its trade accounts receivable credit risk.

(c) Major Customers. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, approximately 82.2% and 83.1%, respectively, of net sales were derived from two customers.  For the three and six months ended December 31, 2009, approximately 76.6% of revenues were derived from two customers.  Accounts receivable as of December 31, 2010 from the Company’s two major customers represented approximately 44% of total accounts receivable. The loss of these customers would have an adverse affect on the Company’s operations. Major customers are those customers who account for more than 10% of net sales.

(d) Other Business Risks. The Company insures it business and assets against insurable risks, to the extent that it deems appropriate, based upon an analysis of the relative risks and costs. The Company believes that the risk of loss from non-insurable events would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations as a whole.

The raw materials used by the Company are primarily commodities and agricultural-based products. Raw materials used by the Company in the manufacture of its Nutraceutical products are purchased from independent suppliers. Raw materials are available from numerous sources and the Company believes that it will continue to obtain adequate supplies.

Approximately 54% the Company’s employees, located in its New Jersey facility, are covered by a union contract. The contract was renewed in August 2010 and will expire in August 2011.

Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies

(a) Leases

 (b) Consulting Agreements.

Effective July 1, 2008, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Jeffrey Leach (an employee of the Company as of the date of the agreement and its former President and Chief Executive Officer). Pursuant to the consulting agreement, Mr. Leach is to provide consulting and specialized services to the Company in the area of finance, acquisition of product lines, refinancing of existing debt and capital raising under the direction of the Company, including for any company in which the Company has an ownership interest. In connection with the agreement, the Company issued 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Leach, the remaining 83,333 shares vested in January 2011 (See Note 10. Equity Transactions).

(c) Legal Proceedings.

The Company is subject, from time to time, to claims by third parties under various legal theories.  The defense of such claims, or any adverse outcome of any such claims, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition and cash flows.  As of February 14, 2011, management believes that there are no significant legal matters pending that would have a material effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition or cash flows.
 
Note 9. Related Party Transactions

Carl DeSantis, a director of the Company and a member of CD Financial (see Note 6(a)(i)) and CD Financial have guaranteed certain liabilities of the Company.  On April 7, 2009, CD Financial entered into a Guaranty Agreement with Creative Flavors, Inc. ("CFC"), a major supplier of the Company, guaranteeing up to $500 of the Company's outstanding obligations to CFC.  The guaranty was terminated on March 10, 2010 by written notice to CFC from CD Financial.  As of June 30, 2010, the Company had an outstanding obligation to CFC in the amount of $151 under the guarantee, which amount is included in accounts payable in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet.  The Company paid this liability in August 2010.

On July 1, 2009, the Company entered into a credit and payment agreement (the “Payment Agreement”) with a major supplier, Triarco, Inc. (“Triarco”).  Under the terms of the Payment Agreement, the Company was obligated to pay its past due balance in eight equal installments of $50 beginning August 1, 2009 and Mr. DeSantis agreed to separately guarantee (the “Personal Guaranty”) the Company’s obligations to Triarco. In exchange, Triarco agreed to extend additional credit of $400 (the “Additional Amount Outstanding”) on net thirty day terms beginning with trade payables dated June 24, 2009.  The Personal Guaranty was limited to the lesser of the aggregate amount owed to Triarco or $800.  On March 10, 2010, Mr. DeSantis decreased the obligations secured by the Personal Guaranty to $200, which guarantee expired on June 30, 2010.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANICAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

Certain statements set forth under this caption constitute “forward-looking statements.” See “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 1 of this Report for additional factors relating to such statements. The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and Notes thereto included elsewhere herein and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company is engaged primarily in the manufacturing, distributing, marketing and sales of vitamins, nutritional supplements and herbal products. The Company’s customers are located primarily throughout North America.

Business Outlook

Our future results of operations and the other forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q, including this MD&A, involve a number of risks and uncertainties—in particular, the statements regarding our goals and strategies, new product introductions, plans to cultivate new businesses, pending divestitures, future economic conditions, revenue, pricing, gross margin and costs, the tax rate, and potential legal proceedings. We continue to focus our efforts on improving operational efficiency and reducing spending that may have an impact on expense levels and gross margin and diversifying our customer base. In addition to the various important factors discussed above, a number of other important factors could cause actual results to differ significantly from our expectations. See the risks described in “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q.

Our financial results are substantially dependent on net sales.  Net sales is partly a function of the mix of branded proprietary nutraceutical products, contract manufactured products and other nutraceutical sales, all of which are difficult to forecast.  The varied sales pricing among our products and promotional support in the form of consumer coupons or other sales price allowances, along with the mix of products sold affects the average selling price that we will realize and has a large impact on our revenue and gross margins. Net sales is also affected by the timing of new product introductions and the demand for and market acceptance of our products; actions taken by our competitors, including new product offerings and introductions, marketing programs and pricing pressures, and our response to such actions; our ability to respond quickly to consumer tastes and needs; and the availability of sufficient raw materials and production lead-time from suppliers to meet demand. Factors that could cause demand to be different from our expectations include customer acceptance of our products and our competitors products; changes in customer order patterns, including order returns; changes in the level of inventory at customers; and changes in business and economic conditions, including conditions in the credit market that could affect consumer confidence and result in lower than expected demand for our products.

We believe that we have the product offerings and introductions, facilities, personnel, and competitive and financial resources in place for business success; however, future revenue, costs, gross margins, and profits are all influenced by a number of factors, including those discussed above, all of which are inherently difficult to forecast.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies in the six months ended December 31, 2010. Critical accounting policies and the significant estimates made in accordance with them are regularly discussed with our Audit Committee. Those policies are discussed under “Critical Accounting Policies” in our “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010.

Results of Operations

Our results from operations in the following table sets forth the income statement data of our results as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated:


For the six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2009

Sales, net. Sales, net, for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $21.4 million and $19.8 million, respectively, an increase of $1.6 million or 8.2%. The increase is comprised of the following:

 
For the six months ended December 31, 2010, approximately 83% of total net sales were derived from two customers, as compared to 77% of total net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2009.  The loss of either of these customers would have an adverse affect on our operations.  We continue to expand our customer base by expanding sales of our proprietary branded Nutraceutical products from primarily to “club” stores to the retail sales segment, and expanding our sales in the international market and e-commerce markets.

The increase in our net sales is primarily the result of an increase of approximately $3.6 million in our contract manufacturing product sales from increased sales to one of our major customers, Herbalife.  This increase was offset by a decrease in our branded proprietary Nutraceutical product line of approximately $1.6 million due to declining sales of our original three products introduced to the market four years ago and increased sales allowances to one of our major customers, Costco.  Management believes that these original three products may have reached their marketing life cycle and has, accordingly, focused their efforts on introducing new products into the market place, including packaging, product size and new formulations.  The remaining Nutraceutical product lines had net sales decreases of approximately $0.3 million compared to the prior period.
 
19
 
 
 

 
 
Cost of sales.  Cost of sales increased by $1.5 million to $15.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $14.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009. Cost of sales increased as a percentage of sales to 73.3% for the six months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to 71.8% for the six months ended December 31, 2009. The increase in cost of goods sold amount was primarily the result of increased sales allowances in our branded proprietary Nutraceutical product line.  Another contributing factor was a greater percentage of our sales being derived from our contract manufacturing business (approximately 52% for the six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to approximately 39% for the six months ended December 31, 2009), which has a higher cost of sales than our branded proprietary Nutraceutical product line.
 
 
Selling and Administrative Expenses.  Selling and administrative expenses were $5.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $6.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $1.1 million or 18.8%. As a percentage of sales, net, selling and administrative expenses were 23.2% for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 30.9% for the prior comparable period.

The net decrease in selling and administrative expenses of $1.1 million is mainly due to decreases aggregating approximately $1.2 million in:

·  
advertising and marketing ($0.5 million)
·  
compensation and employee benefits ($0.1 million)
·  
stock compensation expenses ($0.3 million),
·  
professional fees ($0.2 million) and
·  
other expenses ($0.1 million);

Our advertising and marketing costs decreased by approximately $0.5 million in the six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2009 primarily as a result of a decrease in in-store demonstrations (“demos”) of our products at one of our customers store locations.  Our management has temporally suspended demos as a form of advertising with this customer as it was determined that it was not producing a significant enough increase in the number of units being sold through to the consumer.

Our compensation and employee benefits decreased by $0.1 million as a result of decreasing our corporate staff by two employees, the suspension of the Company’s matching of employees’ retirement savings deferrals in the profit sharing plan and the decreased cost resulting from switching professional employment organizations, which reduced administrative costs with outsourcing our human resources functions and employee benefits.

Our stock compensation expense decreased by $0.3 million primarily due to the significant decrease in the market value of our common stock at the measurement date of the stock option grants (the market value of our common stock is one of several factors used in determining the fair value of the stock compensation at the time of the award and ultimate expense to our consolidated financial statements) and due to the lack of any stock options being granted in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 and the six months ended December 31, 2010.

Our professional fees decreased by $0.2 million primarily due to the settlement of our litigation in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 resulting in lower legal costs incurred in the six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2009.

Other expenses decreased by $0.1 million as a result of decreased spending, primarily on product liability insurance and commission costs.

Other expense, net. Other expense, net was approximately $1.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to $1.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $0.2 million.  Interest expense represents approximately $1.2 million of other expense in the six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to $1.4 million in the six months ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $0.2 million.  The decrease in interest expense is attributable to lower accretion in the six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2009.
 
20
 
 

 
 
Federal and state income tax, net. For the six months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had minimal amounts of state tax expenses. We continue to provide a full reserve on our deferred tax assets as it has been determined that based upon past losses, the Company’s liquidity concerns, and the current economic environment, that it is “more likely than not” that the Company’s deferred tax assets may not be realized.

Net loss. We had a net loss of approximately $0.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010 compared to a net loss of $1.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in the net loss of approximately $1.5 million is primarily the result of an increase in operating income of $1.3 million and a decrease in other expenses, net of $0.2 million.

For the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2009

Sales, net. Sales, net, for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 were $10.3 million and $8.8 million, respectively, an increase of $1.6 million or 17.9%. The increase is comprised of the following:

 
For the three months ended December 31, 2010, approximately 82% of total net sales were derived from two customers, as compared to 79% of total net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2009.  The loss of either of these customers would have an adverse affect on our operations.  We continue to expand our customer base by expanding sales of our proprietary branded Nutraceutical products from primarily to “club” stores to the retail sales segment, and expanding our sales in the international market and e-commerce markets.

The increase in our net sales is the result of increased sales in our contract manufacturing business aggregating approximately $1.8 million primarily as a result of increased sales to one of our major customers, Herbalife, in the amount of $1.7 million.  The remaining Nutraceutical product lines had net sales decreases of approximately $0.2 million compared to the prior period.

Cost of sales.  Cost of sales increased by $1.2 million to $7.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $6.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009. Cost of sales increased as a percentage of sales to 74.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to 73.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily the result of increased sales allowances in our branded proprietary Nutraceutical product line.  Another contributing factor was a greater percentage of our sales being derived from our contract manufacturing business (approximately 51% for the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to approximately 40% for the three months ended December 31, 2009) which has a higher cost of sales than our branded proprietary Nutraceutical product line.
 
21
 
 
 

 

 
Selling and Administrative Expenses.  Selling and administrative expenses were $2.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010, as compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009, a decrease of $0.4 million or 14.3%. As a percentage of sales, net, selling and administrative expenses were 24.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 33.0% for the prior comparable period.

The net decrease in selling and administrative expenses of $0.4 million is mainly due to decreases in:

·  
advertising and marketing ($0.2 million); and
·  
stock compensation expenses ($0.2 million)

Our advertising and marketing costs decreased by approximately $0.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2009 primarily as a result of a net decrease of $0.2 million in print advertising in our customer’s stores and sales circulars.
Our stock compensation expense decreased by $0.2 million primarily due to the significant decrease in the market value of our common stock at the measurement date of the stock option grants (the market value of our common stock is one of several factors used in determining the fair value of the stock compensation at the time of the award and ultimate expense to our consolidated financial statements) and due to the lack of any stock options being granted in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

Other expense, net. Other expense, net was approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010, compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009, a net increase of $0.2 million.  Interest expense represents approximately $0.6 million of other expense in each of the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.   The primary increase in other expense, net, in the approximate amount of $0.3 million, is the result of the adoption of the accounting for derivative liabilities, which increased the fair value of the derivative liabilities from the September 30, 2009 to the December 31, 2009 valuation, resulting in a gain of $0.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009, with no gain recognized in the three months ended December 31, 2010.  Another component of other expenses is a litigation settlement in the amount of $0.1 million expensed by the Company in the three months ended December 31, 2009 in connection with litigation with the State of Texas (as disclosed in Item 3 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010) in the three months ended December 31, 2009 with no such expenditure in the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Federal and state income tax, net. For the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had minimal amounts of state tax expenses. We continue to provide a full reserve on our deferred tax assets as it has been determined that based upon past losses, the Company’s liquidity concerns and the current economic environment, that it is “more likely than not” that the Company’s deferred tax assets may not be realized.

Net loss. Our net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was $0.4 million as compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009. This decrease in net loss of approximately $0.6 million is primarily the result of a decrease in operating losses from continuing operations to operating income of $0.8 million, offset by an increase of $0.2 million in other expenses, net resulting from no increase in the fair value of derivative liabilities in the three months ended December 31, 2010 compared to a $0.3 million increase in fair value of derivative liabilities in the three months ended December 31, 2009.

Seasonality

The Nutraceutical business segment tends to be seasonal. We have found that in our first fiscal quarter ending on September 30th of each year, orders for our branded proprietary Nutraceutical products usually slow (absent the addition of new customers or a new product launch with a significant first time order), as buyers in various markets may have purchased sufficient inventory to carry them through the summer months. Conversely, in our second fiscal quarter, ending on December 31st of each year, orders for our products increase as the demand for our branded Nutraceutical products seems to increase in late December to early January as consumers become health conscious as they enter the new year.

The Company believes that there are other non-seasonal factors that also may also influence the variability of quarterly results including, but not limited to, general economic and industry conditions that affect consumer spending, changing consumer demands and current news on nutritional supplements. In addition, our recent growth has caused additional variability in our quarterly results. Accordingly, a comparison of the Company’s results of operations from consecutive periods is not necessarily meaningful, and the Company’s results of operations for any period are not necessarily indicative of future periods.
 
22
 
 
 

 

 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the Company’s net cash flows used in operating, investing and financing activities, its period end cash and cash equivalents and other operating measures:
 
At December 31, 2010, our working capital deficit was approximately $9.8 million, an increase of approximately $0.1 million from the working capital deficit of approximately $9.7 million at June 30, 2010. Our current assets decreased by $0.1 million and our current liabilities were substantially the same in each period.

Net cash provided by operating activities of $1.1 million in the six months ended December 31, 2010, includes a net loss of $0.4 million. After excluding the effects of non-cash expenses, including, depreciation and amortization, compensation expense for employee stock options and consultants and changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities, the adjusted cash used in operations before the effect of the changes in working capital components was $0.8 million. Cash in the amount of approximately $0.4 million was provided by continuing operations from our working capital assets and liabilities, which was the result of decreases in accounts receivable of $0.6 million and in inventory of $0.4 million and an increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $0.2 million, offset by a decrease in accounts payable of $0.8 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities of $0.7 million in the six months ended December 31, 2009, includes a net loss of $1.9 million. After excluding the effects of non-cash expenses, including, depreciation and amortization, compensation expense for employee stock options and consultants and changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities, the adjusted cash used in operations before the effect of the changes in working capital components was $0.3 million. Cash was provided by continuing operations from our working capital assets and liabilities in the amount of approximately $0.9 million, was the result of a decrease in accounts receivable of $0.9 million, offset by an increase in inventory of $0.2 million and prepaid expenses and other assets of $0.1 million, and decreases in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $0.3 million.  Less than approximately $0.07 million of cash was provided by operating activities from our discontinued operations.

Cash used in investing activities was used for the purchase of fixed assets for approximately $218,000, offset by a gain on the sale of machinery and equipment of $30,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2010, compared to using approximately $58,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2009 for the purchase of machinery and equipment.

Cash used in financing activities was $62,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2010, which included a $40,000 repayment of funds borrowed in the same six months period under a short term promissory note entered into with CD Financial, a related party and the holder of our Convertible Note Payable, and the repayment of $22,000 under our capitalized lease obligations.  Cash provided by financing activities was $0.3 million in the six months ended December 31, 2009 and was provided by financing under a short term promissory note entered into with CD Financial, a related party and the holder of our Convertible Note Payable.
 
23
 
 
 

 

 
Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. We have incurred recurring operating losses and negative operating cash flows for four consecutive fiscal operating years including a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $5.5 million and negative operating cash flows of approximately $132,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. For the six months ended December 31, 2010, we had operating income of approximately $0.8 million and a net loss of approximately $424,000.  At December 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.6 million, a working capital deficit of $9.8 million, primarily attributable to the amended Notes Payable in the amount of $7.8 million, which were due on November 15, 2009, the Convertible Note Payable in the amount of $4.0 million (stated principal amount of $4.5 million, due in February 2011) and an accumulated deficit of $50.3 million.  These factors raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

We defaulted on the $7.8 million outstanding amount of Notes Payable by failing to repay them on the scheduled maturity date of November 15, 2009. The Notes Payable are secured by a pledge of substantially all of the Company’s assets. On March 19, 2010, we received a payment demand (the “Notice”) for default interest (18% per annum) from one of the holders of the Notes Payable representing approximately 73% of the outstanding balance (the “Holder”).  As of February 14, 2011, we have not repaid the Notes Payable or the default interest referenced in the Notice. However, the Company and the Holder continue to negotiate in good faith to amend the terms of the Holder’s Notes Payable, to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date of the Notes Payable to April 15, 2011, (ii) modify certain covenants and (iii) require a pledge by two of the most significant shareholders and directors of the Company, E. Gerald Kay and Carl DeSantis of additional collateral, as well as, limited personal guarantees by them.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to finalize the restructuring or amendment of the Notes Payable.  In the interim, the Company has continued to make timely interest payments to the Note Payable holders at the non default rate of 8% per annum.  As of February 14, 2011, the Company has not received any additional demand payment notices for payment in full of the Company’s obligations; however, the amended Note Holders continue to reserve their rights and remedies under the Securities Purchase Agreement and the related Notes Payable.
 
If the Notes Payable are not restructured and as a result of the event of default that arose based upon our failure to pay the Notes at maturity, the note holders have the right, to give us an Acceleration Notice, which would (i) accelerate the payment of all unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest (including default interest (if any)) on the Notes Payable, and (ii) require us to pay an amount equal to the sum of all of the amounts described in the preceding clause (i) in same day funds on the payment date specified in the notice, provided such date must be at least two (2) business days following the date on which the notice is delivered to us.  Assuming the Company is able to raise additional capital and/or refinance its Notes Payable, and it is not adversely affected by the current economic conditions, we believe that our available capital as of December 31, 2010 will enable the Company to continue as a going concern.  However, there can be no assurance that we will be able raise additional capital or finalize the restructuring of the amended Notes Payable, nor that the current economic conditions will not negatively impact us.  Furthermore, we are considering strategic alternatives, which may include business divestitures, developing business and sales strategies to increase operating income, the sale of some or all of the Company’s assets or operating subsidiaries and/or capital restructuring plans.  In addition, if we are unsuccessful in finalizing the contemplated debt restructuring with respect to the Notes Payable with our current lenders and/or replacing our current lenders, our ability to continue as a going concern could be further impacted.  If we are unable to implement any strategic alternative, including raising additional capital or finalizing the restructuring of the full outstanding amount of our amended Notes Payable upon acceptable terms, it would have a material adverse effect on the Company, including possible foreclosure by the note holders of our assets.

Our total annual commitments at December 30, 2010 for long term non-cancelable leases of approximately $562 consists of obligations under operating leases for facilities and lease agreements for the rental of warehouse equipment, office equipment and automobiles.
