PART I

ITEM 1 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Business Overview — General

We are engaged in the development, marketing, sale and distribution of “functional” calorie-burning fitness beverages under the Celsius® brand name. According to multiple clinical studies we funded, a single serving (12 ounce can) of Celsius® burns up to 100 calories by increasing a consumer’s resting metabolism an average of 12% and providing sustained energy for up to a three-hour period. Our exercise focused studies show Celsius delivers additional benefits when consumed prior to exercise. The studies shows benefits such as increase in fat burn, increase in lean muscle mass and increased endurance.

We seek to combine nutritional science with mainstream beverages by using our proprietary thermogenic (calorie-burning) MetaPlus® formulation, while fostering the goal of healthier everyday refreshment by being as natural as possible without the artificial preservatives often found in many energy drinks and sodas. Celsius® has no artificial preservatives, aspartame or high fructose corn syrup and is very low in sodium. Celsius® uses good-for-you ingredients and supplements such as green tea (EGCG), ginger, calcium, chromium, B vitamins and vitamin C. The main Celsius line of products are sweetened with sucralose, a sugar-derived sweetener that is found in Splenda®, which makes our beverages low-calorie and suitable for consumers whose sugar intake is restricted. In 2010, we also introduced a Celsius version sweetened with Stevia.

We have undertaken significant marketing efforts aimed at building brand awareness, including a wide variety of marketing vehicles such as television, radio, on-line and magazine advertising. We also undertake various promotions at the retail level such as coupons and other discounts in addition to in-store sampling. We engaged Mario Lopez, a well-known television personality, to be our national celebrity spokesperson.

We do not directly manufacture our beverages, but instead outsource the manufacturing process to established third-party co-packers. We do, however, provide our co-packers with flavors, ingredient blends, cans and other raw materials for our beverages purchased by us from various suppliers.

On February 16, 2010, the Company sold 900,000 units in a secondary public offering, generating gross proceeds of $14.5 million and net proceeds of approximately $13.1 million, after deduction of underwriting discounts and payment of offering expenses. Each unit consisted of four shares of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock exercisable at a price of $5.32 per share at any time through February 8, 2013.

A substantial portion of the net proceeds of the secondary public offering, together with approximately $2.0 million in debt financing provided to us by an affiliate of our principal shareholder in July 2010, was used for marketing and sales efforts aimed at penetrating the direct to retail (DTR) market and building brand awareness through a wide variety of marketing media and retail level promotions such as coupons and other discounts. While our efforts met with a degree of success in penetrating major retailers, we found that we were unable to achieve product sell through at the retail level at a rate adequate to generate the revenues that would be needed to fund the ongoing costs of building brand awareness and achieving profitability in the DTR channel, as well as sustaining our operations.

Accordingly, in August 2010, we engaged a consulting and advisory firm with experience in the beverage industry, to explore strategic options, including additional financing and/or a potential sale of the Company. To date, the Company has not received any offers for either additional financing or a potential sale transaction.

As a result of the losses we incurred, the Company decided in December 2010 to significantly reduce overhead, downsize operations, decrease consumer marketing expenses and review unprofitable accounts and undertake corrective action in order to reduce cash outlays and allow the Company to operate on a break-even or close to break-even basis. While the Company believes it has sufficient capital resources to fund its operation for the balance of 2011, the Company believes that without a capital infusion or other strategic transaction, its ability to achieve revenue growth will be limited. Accordingly, management continues to explore strategic options with respect to the financing, sale or restructuring of the Company.

Corporate History and Information

We were incorporated in Nevada on April 26, 2005 under the name “Vector Ventures, Inc” and originally we engaged in mineral exploration. Such business was unsuccessful. On January 26, 2007, we acquired the Celsius® beverage business of Elite FX, Inc., a Florida corporation engaged in the development of functional beverages since 2004 in a reverse merger, and subsequently changed our name to Celsius Holdings, Inc.

Our principal executive offices are located at 2424 N Federal Hwy, Boca Raton, Florida 33431.Our telephone number is (561) 276-2239 and our website is www.celsius.com. The information accessible through our website does not constitute part of this report.

Industry Overview

The “functional” beverage category includes a wide variety of beverages with one or more added ingredients to satisfy a physical or functional need, such as sports drinks, energy drinks, and non-carbonated ready to drink teas.

Size of Market — According to a report by Accenture Consulting, the size of the annual non-alcoholic beverage market was estimated to have grown to more than $17.4 billion in the United States in 2010. A growing portion of this market is the functional beverage market, which was estimated at $9.7 billon, in 2010, according to Datamonitor. This market is estimated to grow to $19.7 billion by 2013, a compound annual growth rate of 15.2% over that time period.

Current Market Segmentation — The growing functional beverage market can be further segmented into several different sub-categories, such as energy drinks, sports drinks, and nutraceutical drinks. According to Datamonitor, as of 2009, the largest category of functional drinks was energy drinks with approximately 62% market share and sports drinks with an approximately 26% market share.

We believe that Celsius® is both a member of the energy drink sub-category, as well as creating a new category of beverages, calorie-burning. It has some of the same functional elements of an energy drink, but unlike the majority of the sugary (high calorie) competitors in this space, Celsius® does not contain high fructose corn syrup and burns up to 100 calories by increasing a drinker’s metabolism an average of 12% for up to a three-hour period. We believe that Celsius® is a superior product to currently available energy drinks due to its low caloric content, its calorie burning capabilities and its lack of artificial preservatives, colors and flavors.

Changing Industry Trends — There is an increased concern among consumers, the public health community and various government agencies of the potential health problems associated with inactive lifestyles and obesity. There are currently several proposals in the U.S. Congress seeking to address the issue of consumption of sugary drinks by children and other consumers. Participants in the non-alcoholic beverage market are responding to these concerns by bringing to market new healthier products such as diet and light beverages, juices and juice drinks, sports drinks and water products.

Growing Number of Adults with Obesity— According to statistics from the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) during the past 20 years there has been a dramatic increase in obesity in the United States. In 2009, only one state (Colorado) had a prevalence of obesity less than 20%. Thirty-two states had prevalence equal to or greater than 25%; six of these states (Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia) had a prevalence of obesity equal to or greater than 30%.

The maps below show the change in obesity prevalence from 1985 through 2009 in the United States.

Industry Trends Benefit Celsius® — We believe that Celsius® is strategically placed to capitalize on several macro-trends in the beverage space by filling a need that is not currently being met by its competitors in both the functional and general non-alcoholic beverage markets.

With a growing number of consumers seeking functional beverages, we believe that they are also increasingly seeking out products that are the healthiest alternative within those product categories. Many of the leading functional beverage products contain high doses of sugar or high fructose corn syrup, sodium, artificial flavors, and preservatives which may counter-balance some of the other benefits the consumer is looking for.

Celsius® has created its portfolio of beverages to specifically address these issues. While maintaining great taste to the consumer, a 12 ounce can of Celsius® has a number of competitive advantages over some of the currently leading beverages including:

§	less artificial preservatives than almost all other energy drinks or sodas;

§	no artificial colors or flavors;

§	no aspartame;

§	no high fructose corn syrup;

§	low sodium content;

§	use of good-for-you ingredients and supplements such as green tea (EGCG), ginger, calcium, chromium, B vitamins and vitamin C; and

§	use of our proprietary thermogenic (calorie-burning) MetaPlus® formulation that allows Celsius® to burn up to 100 calories by increasing a consumer’s metabolism an average of 12% and providing sustained energy for up to a 3-hour period.

Our Products

Celsius® calorie-burning beverages were first introduced to the marketplace in 2005.

According to multiple clinical studies we funded, a single serving (12 ounce can) of Celsius® burns up to 100 calories by increasing a consumer’s metabolism an average of 12% for up to a three-hour period. In addition, these studies have indicated that drinking a single serving of Celsius® prior to exercising may improve cardiovascular health and fitness and enhance the loss of fat and gain of muscle from exercise.

We seek to combine nutritional science with mainstream beverages by using our proprietary thermogenic (calorie-burning) MetaPlus® formulation, while fostering the goal of healthier everyday refreshment by being as natural as possible without the artificial preservatives often found in many energy drinks or sodas. Celsius® has no chemical preservatives, aspartame or high fructose corn syrup and is very low in sodium. Celsius® uses good-for-you ingredients and supplements such as green tea (EGCG), ginger, calcium, chromium, B vitamins and vitamin C. Celsius is sweetened with sucralose, a sugar-derived sweetener that is found in Splenda®, which makes our beverages low-calorie and suitable for consumers whose sugar intake is restricted. Each 12 ounce can of Celsius® contains 200 milligrams of caffeine which is comparable to two cups of coffee.

We currently offer Celsius® in nine flavors, ginger ale, cola, orange and wild berry (which are carbonated) and non-carbonated green tea raspberry/acai, green tea/peach mango, Lemon Iced Tea, Strawberry/Kiwi and the new Stevia based, Apple Orchard. Our beverages are sold in 12 and 10.5 ounce cans, and we have recently begun to market the active ingredients in powdered form in individual On-The-Go packets as well as 2.5 ounce shots.

Celsius® is packaged in a distinctive twelve ounce sleek can that uses vivid colors in abstract patterns to create a strong on-shelf impact. The cans are sold as singles or in four-packs.

We target a niche in the functional beverage segment of the beverage industry consisting of consumers seeking calorie-burning beverages to help them manage their weight and enhance their exercise regimen. Our target consumers are generally individuals that exercise two to five times a week and are concerned about their health.

Clinical Studies

It is our belief that clinical studies substantiating product claims will become more important as more and more beverages are marketed with health claims. Celsius® was one of the first functional beverages to be launched along with a clinical study. Celsius® is also one of very few functional beverages that has clinical research on the actual product itself. Some beverage companies that do mention studies backing their claims are actually referencing independent studies conducted on one or more of the ingredients in the product. We believe that it is important and will become more important to have studies on the actual product.

We have funded seven U.S. based clinical studies for Celsius®. Each was conducted by a research organizations and each studied the total Celsius® formula. The first study was conducted by the Ohio Research Group of Exercise Science and Sports Nutrition. The remaining studies were conducted by the Applied Biochemistry & Molecular Physiology Laboratory of the University of Oklahoma. We funded all of the studies and provided Celsius® beverage for the studies. However, none of our directors, executive officers or principal shareholders is in any way affiliated with either of the two research organizations which conducted the studies.

The first study was conducted in 2005 by the Ohio Research Group of Exercise Science and Sports Nutrition. The Ohio Research Group of Exercise Science & Sports Nutrition is a multidisciplinary clinical research team dedicated to exploring the relationship between exercise, nutrition, dietary supplements and health, www.ohioresearchgroup.com. This placebo-controlled, double-blind cross-over study compared the effects of Celsius® and the placebo on metabolic rate. Twenty-two participants were randomly assigned to ingest a twelve ounce serving of Celsius® and on a separate day a serving of twelve ounces of Diet Coke®. All subjects completed both trials using a randomized, counterbalanced design. Randomized means that subjects were selected for each group randomly to ensure that the different treatments were statistically equivalent. Counterbalancing means that individuals in one group drank the placebo on the first day and drank Celsius® on the second day. The other group did the opposite. Counterbalancing is a design method that is used to control “order effects.” In other words, to make sure the order that subjects were served, does not impact the results and analysis.

Metabolic rate (via indirect calorimetry, measurements taken from breaths into and out of calorimeter) and substrate oxidation (via respiratory exchange ratios) were measured at baseline (pre-ingestion) and for ten minutes at the end of each hour for three hours post-ingestion. The results showed an average increase of metabolism of twelve percent over the three hour period, compared to statistically insignificant change for the control group. Metabolic rate, or metabolism, is the rate at which the body expends energy. This is also referred to as the “caloric burn rate.” Indirect calorimetry calculates heat that living organisms produce from their production of carbon dioxide. It is called “indirect” because the caloric burn rate is calculated from a measurement of oxygen uptake. Direct calorimetry would involve the subject being placed inside the calorimeter for the measurement to determine the heat being produced. Respiratory Exchange Ratio is the ratio oxygen taken in a breath compared to the carbon dioxide breathed out in one breath or exchange. Measuring this ratio can be used for estimating which substrate (fuel such as carbohydrate or fat) is being metabolized or ‘oxidized’ to supply the body with energy.

The second study was conducted by the Applied Biochemistry & Molecular Physiology Laboratory of University of Oklahoma in 2007. This blinded, placebo-controlled study was conducted on a total of 60 men and women of normal weight. An equal number of participants were separated into two groups to compare one serving (a single 12 ounce can) of Celsius to a placebo of the same amount. According to the study, those subjects consuming Celsius burned significantly more calories versus those consuming the placebo, over a three-hour period. The study confirmed that over the three-hour period, subjects consuming a single serving of Celsius® burned 65% more calories than those consuming the placebo beverage and burned an average of more than 100 calories compared to the placebo. These results were statistically significant.

The third study, conducted by the Applied Biochemistry & Molecular Physiology Laboratory of University of Oklahoma in 2007, extended our second study with the same group of 60 individuals and protocol for 28 days and showed the same statistical significance of increased calorie burn (minimal attenuation). While the University of Oklahoma study did extend for 28 days, more testing would be needed for long term analysis of the Celsius® calorie-burning effects. Also, these studies were on relatively small numbers of subjects, they have statistically significant results. Additional studies on a larger number and wider range of body compositions can be considered to further the analysis.

Our fourth study, conducted by the Applied Biochemistry & Molecular Physiology Laboratory of University of Oklahoma in 2009, combined Celsius® use with exercise. This ten-week placebo-controlled, randomized and blinded study was conducted on a total of 37 subjects. Participants were randomly assigned into one of two groups: Group 1 consumed one serving of Celsius® per day, and Group 2 consumed one serving of an identically flavored and labeled placebo beverage. Both groups participated in ten weeks of combined aerobic and weight training, following the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines of training for previously sedentary adults. The results showed that consuming a single serving of Celsius® prior to exercising may enhance the positive adaptations of exercise on body composition, cardio-respiratory fitness and endurance performance. According to the preliminary findings, subjects consuming a single serving of Celsius® lost significantly more fat mass and gained significantly more muscle mass than those subjects consuming the placebo — a 93.75% greater loss in fat and 50% greater gain in muscle mass, respectively. The study also confirmed that subjects consuming Celsius® significantly improved measures of cardio-respiratory fitness and the ability to delay the onset of fatigue when exercising to exhaustion.

Our fifth study was conducted by the Applied Biochemistry & Molecular Physiology Laboratory of University of Oklahoma in 2009. This ten-week placebo-controlled, randomized and blinded study was conducted on a total of 27 previously sedentary overweight and obese female subjects. Participants were randomly assigned into groups that consumed identically tasting treatment beverages with exercise or without exercise. All participants consumed one drink, either placebo or Celsius, per day for 10 weeks. The exercise groups participated in ten weeks of combined aerobic and weight training, following the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines of training for previously sedentary adults. No changes were made to their diet. The results showed that consuming a single serving of Celsius® prior to exercising may improve cardiovascular health and fitness and enhance the positive adaptations of exercise on body composition. According to the preliminary findings, subjects consuming a single serving of Celsius® lost significantly more fat mass and gained significantly more muscle mass when compared to exercise alone — a 46% greater loss in fat, 27% greater gain in muscle mass, respectively. The study also confirmed that subjects consuming Celsius® significantly improved measures of cardio-respiratory fitness — 35% greater endurance performance with significant improvements to lipid profiles — total cholesterol decreases of 5 to 13% and bad LDL cholesterol 12 to 18%. Exercise alone had no effect on blood lipid levels.

Our sixth study was conducted by the Applied Biochemistry & Molecular Physiology Laboratory of University of Oklahoma in 2009. This ten-week placebo-controlled, randomized and blinded study was conducted on a total of 37 previously sedentary male subjects. Participants were randomly assigned into groups that consumed identically tasting treatment beverages with exercise or without exercise. All participants consumed one drink, either placebo or Celsius, per day for 10 weeks. The exercise groups participated in ten weeks of combined aerobic and weight training, following the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines of training for previously sedentary adults. No changes were made to their diet. The results showed that consuming a single serving of Celsius® prior to exercising may improve cardiovascular health and fitness and enhance the positive adaptations of exercise on body composition. Significantly greater decreases in fat mass and percentage body fat and increases in VO2were observed in the subjects that consumed Celsius before exercise versus those that consumed the placebo before exercise. Mood was not affected. Clinical markers for hepatic, renal, cardiovascular and immune function, as determined by pre and post blood work revealed no adverse effects.

Our seventh study was conducted by Miami Research Institute in 2010 and showed the efficacy and safety of the powders and the shots. This study allows the Company to make the same structure/function claims as the ready to drink beverages.

Manufacture and Supply of Our Products

Our beverages are produced by established third party beverage co-packers. A co-packer is a manufacturing plant that provides the service of filling bottles or cans for the brand owner. We believe one benefit of using co-packers is that we do not have to invest in the production facility and can focus our resources on brand development, sales and marketing. It also allows us produce in multiple locations strategically placed throughout the country. Currently our products are produced in Cold Spring, Minnesota and Charlotte, North Carolina. We usually produce about 34,000 cases (24 units per case) of Celsius® in a production run. We purchase most of the ingredients and all packaging materials. The co-pack facility assembles our products and charges us a fee by the case. The shelf life of Celsius® is specified as 15 to 18 months.

Substantially all of the raw materials used in the preparation, bottling and packaging of our products are purchased by us or by our co-packers in accordance with our specifications. Generally, we obtain the ingredients used in our products from domestic suppliers and some ingredients have several reliable suppliers. The ingredients in Celsius® include green tea (EGCG), ginger (from the root), caffeine, B vitamins, vitamin C, taurine, guarana, chromium, calcium, glucuronolactone, sucralose, natural flavors and natural colorings. Celsius® is labeled with a supplements facts panel. We have no major supply contracts with any of our suppliers. We single-source all our ingredients for purchasing efficiency; however, we have identified a second source for our critical ingredients and there are many suppliers of flavors, colorings and sucralose. In case of a supply restriction or interruption from any of the flavor and coloring suppliers, we would have to test and qualify other suppliers that may disrupt our production schedules.

Packaging materials, except for our distinctive sleek aluminum cans, are easily available from multiple sources in the United States; however, due to efficiencies we utilize single source vendor relationships. There is currently only one factory in the United States that produces the 12 ounce can. In case of an interruption at that supplier, we would be forced to change our design and structure of the can.

We believe that our co-packing arrangement and supply sources are adequate for our present needs.

Marketing

During 2010, we focused on growing our product distribution through DTR sales from small regional areas to more of a national footprint with Celsius® being increasingly available at large, well-known retailers. In order to support this growth, throughout 2010 we conducted a nationwide marketing campaign focused on television, radio, on-line and magazine and newspaper advertising. We also supported our retail sales by retail level promotions such as coupons, in-store discounts and in-store sampling.

While our efforts met with a degree of success in penetrating major retailers, we found that we were unable to achieve product sell-through at the retail level at a rate adequate to generate the revenues that would be needed to fund the ongoing costs of building and achieving profitability in the DTR channel, as well as sustaining our operations. Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of 2010, we significantly reduced consumer marketing expenses, as part of a reduction in overhead designed to allow us to operate at a break-even or near break-even level. The Company’s current marketing plan for 2011 (absent a capital infusion) is based mainly on trade promotions and grass roots sampling events and does not include significant amounts for television, radio, and other mass marketing vehicles.

Distribution

Celsius® is sold across many retail segments. They include supermarkets, convenience stores, drug stores, nutritional stores, mass merchants and club warehouses. We also sell to health clubs, spas, gyms, the military, e-commerce websites and to a limited number of international markets. Given our current capital constraints, we are currently focusing on the retail and health and fitness segments.

We distribute our products through a hybrid of direct-store delivery (DSD) distributors and as well as sales direct to retailers (DTR).

Seasonality of Sales

As is typical in the beverage industry, sales of our beverages are seasonal, with the highest sales volumes generally occurring in the second and third fiscal quarters, which correspond to the warmer months of the year in our major markets.

Competition

We believe that we are one of the few calorie-burning fitness beverages whose effectiveness is supported by clinical studies, which gives us a unique position in the beverage market. However, our products do compete broadly with all categories of consumer beverages. The beverage market is highly competitive, and includes international, national, regional and local producers and distributors, most of whom have greater financial, management and other resources than us. Our direct competitors in the functional beverage market include, but are not limited to The Coca-Cola Company, Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, PepsiCo, Inc., Nestlé, Waters North America, Inc., Hansen Natural Corp., and Red Bull.

Proprietary Rights

We have registered the Celsius® and MetaPlus® trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, as well as a number of additional trademarks.

We have and will continue to take appropriate measures, such as entering into confidentiality agreements with our contract packers and ingredient suppliers, to maintain the secrecy and proprietary nature of our MetaPlus® formulation and product formulas.

We maintain our MetaPlus® formulation and product formulas as trade secrets. We believe that trade secrecy is a preferable method of protection for our formulas as patenting them might require their disclosure. Other than a company that is our outsourced production manager, no single member of the raw material supply chain or our co-packers has access to the complete formula.

We consider our trademarks and trade secrets to be of considerable value and importance to our business. No successful challenges to our registered trademarks have arisen and we have no reason to believe that any such challenges will arise in the future.

Government Regulation

The production, distribution and sale of our products in the United States is subject to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, various environmental statutes and various other federal, state and local statutes and regulations applicable to the production, transportation, sale, safety, advertising, labeling and ingredients of such products. California law requires that a specific warning appear on any product that contains a component listed by California as having been found to cause cancer or birth defects. The law exposes all food and beverage producers to the possibility of having to provide warnings on their products because the law recognizes no generally applicable quantitative thresholds below which a warning is not required. Consequently, even trace amounts of listed components can expose affected products to the prospect of warning labels. Products containing listed substances that occur naturally in the product or that are contributed to the product solely by a municipal water supply are generally exempt from the warning requirement. While none of our products are required to display warnings under this law, we cannot predict whether an important component of any of our products might be added to the California list in the future. We also are unable to predict whether or to what extent a warning under this law would have an impact on costs or sales of our products.

Measures have been enacted in various localities and states that require that a deposit be charged for certain non-refillable beverage containers. The precise requirements imposed by these measures vary. Other deposit, recycling or product stewardship proposals have been introduced in certain states and localities and in Congress, and we anticipate that similar legislation or regulations may be proposed in the future at the local, state and federal levels, both in the United States and elsewhere.

Our facilities in the United States are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Compliance with these provisions has not had, and we do not expect such compliance to have, any material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 1A RISK FACTORS

Our business faces certain risks. The risks described below may not be the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not yet know of, or that we currently think as immaterial, may also impair our business. If any of the events anticipated by the risks described below or elsewhere in this report occur, our results of operations and financial conditions could be adversely affected.

Risk Factors Relating to Our Business

We have an operating history with significant losses and expect losses to continue for the foreseeable future.

The Company has experienced operating losses in all years since its inception. Our future operating results will depend on many factors, both in and out of our control, including the ability to increase and sustain demand for and acceptance of our products, the level of our competition, and our ability to attract and maintain key management and employees.

We have incurred a significant operating loss during the year ended December 31, 2010 of $19.5 million. As a result, at December 31, 2010, we had an accumulated deficit of $38.6 million. Our revenues have not been sufficient to sustain our operations. Our profitability will require the successful commercialization of our current Celsius® product line. No assurances can be given when this will occur or that we will ever be profitable.

We require additional capital, which at present has not been available to us.

In the fourth quarter of 2010, we reduced overhead with a view to allow the Company to sustain its operations at a break-even or profitable level. We believe that our existing cash on hand and the $1.0 million available line of credit will enable us to fund our operations at our retooled level through 2011. Our current cash position allows us to undertake only limited marketing efforts without additional financing. However, we have not been able to secure additional financing on commercially reasonable terms or otherwise. Even if we are ultimately able to raise capital through equity or debt financings, the interest of existing shareholders in our company will likely be diluted, and the securities we issue may have rights, preferences and privileges that are senior to those of our common stock or may otherwise materially and adversely affect the holdings or rights of our existing shareholders. Without additional financing we may not be able to successfully market our products, and our business, results of operations and financial condition will likely be adversely affected.

We are currently only undertaking limited marketing efforts.

Because of our current capital constraints, we have significantly reduced and limited our marketing efforts. We cannot estimate the effects of reducing and limiting our marketing efforts on our total sales volume, which may be materially adverse.

We rely on third party co-packers to manufacture our products. If we are unable to maintain good relationships with our co-packers and/or their ability to manufacture our products becomes constrained or unavailable to us, our business could suffer.

We do not directly manufacture our products, but instead outsource such manufacturing to established third party co-packers. These third party co-packers may not be able to fulfill our demand as it arises, could begin to charge rates that make using their services cost inefficient or may simply not be able to or willing to provide their services to us on a timely basis or at all. In the event of any disruption or delay, whether caused by a rift in our relationship or the inability of our co-packers to manufacture our products as required, we would need to secure the services of alternative co-packers. We may be unable to procure alternative packing facilities at commercially reasonable rates and/or within a reasonably short time period and any such transition could be costly. In such case, our business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.

We rely on distributors to distribute our products in the DSD sales channel. If we are unable to secure such distributors and/or we are unable to maintain good relationships with our existing distributors, our business could suffer.

We distribute Celsius® in the DSD sales channel by entering into agreements with direct-to-store delivery distributors having established sales, marketing and distribution organizations. Many of our distributors are affiliated with and manufacture and/or distribute other beverage products. In many cases, such products compete directly with our products. The marketing efforts of our distributors are important for our success. If Celsius® proves to be less attractive to our distributors and/or if we fail to attract distributors, and/or our distributors do not market and promote our products with greater focus in preference to the products of our competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Our customers are material to our success. If we are unable to maintain good relationships with our existing customers, our business could suffer.

Unilateral decisions could be taken by our distributors, grocery chains, convenience chains, drug stores, nutrition stores, mass merchants, club warehouses and other customers to discontinue carrying all or any of our products that they are carrying at any time, which could cause our business to suffer.

Increases In cost or shortages of raw materials or increases in costs of co-packing could harm our business.

The principal raw materials used by us are flavors and ingredient blends as well as aluminum cans, the prices of which are subject to fluctuations. We are uncertain whether the prices of any of the above or any other raw materials or ingredients we utilize will rise in the future and whether we will be able to pass any of such increases on to our customers. We do not use hedging agreements or alternative instruments to manage the risks associated with securing sufficient ingredients or raw materials. In addition, some of these raw materials, such as our distinctive sleek 12 ounce can, are available from a single or a limited number of suppliers. As alternative sources of supply may not be available, any interruption in the supply of such raw materials might materially harm us.

Our failure to accurately estimate demand for our products could adversely affect our business and financial results.

We may not correctly estimate demand for our products. If we materially underestimate demand for our products and are unable to secure sufficient ingredients or raw materials, we might not be able to satisfy demand on a short-term basis, in which case our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We depend upon our trademarks and proprietary rights, and any failure to protect our intellectual property rights or any claims that we are infringing upon the rights of others may adversely affect our competitive position.

Our success depends, in large part, on our ability to protect our current and future brands and products and to defend our intellectual property rights. We cannot be sure that trademarks will be issued with respect to any future trademark applications or that our competitors will not challenge, invalidate or circumvent any existing or future trademarks issued to, or licensed by, us.

Our products are manufactured using our proprietary blends of ingredients. These blends are created by third-party suppliers to our specifications and then supplied to our co-packers. Although all of the third parties in our supply and manufacture chain execute confidentiality agreements, there can be no assurance that our trade secrets, including our proprietary ingredient blends will not become known to competitors.

We believe that our competitors, many of whom are more established, and have greater financial and personnel resources than we do, may be able to replicate or reverse engineer our processes, brands, flavors, or our products in a manner that could circumvent our protective safeguards. Therefore, we cannot give you any assurance that our confidential business information will remain proprietary. Any such loss of confidentiality could diminish or eliminate any competitive advantage provided by our proprietary information.

We may incur material losses as a result of product recall and product liability.

We may be liable if the consumption of any of our products causes injury, illness or death. We also may be required to recall some of our products if they become contaminated or are damaged or mislabeled. A significant product liability judgment against us, or a widespread product recall, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The amount of the insurance we carry is limited, and that insurance is subject to certain exclusions and may or may not be adequate.

Our lack of product diversification and inability to timely introduce new or alternative products could cause us to cease operations.

Our business is centered on Celsius®. The risks associated with focusing on a limited product line are substantial. If consumers do not accept our products or if there is a general decline in market demand for, or any significant decrease in, the consumption of functional beverages, we are not financially or operationally capable of introducing alternative products within a short time frame. As a result, such lack of acceptance or market demand decline could cause us to cease operations.

We are dependent on our key executives and employees and the loss of any of their services could materially adversely affect us which may have a material adverse effect on our Company.

Our future success will depend substantially upon the abilities of, and personal relationships developed by a limited number of key executives and employees, including Stephen C. Haley, our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board, Geary W. Cotton, our Chief Financial Officer and Irina Lorenzi, our Innovations Vice President. The loss of the services of Mr. Haley, Mr. Cotton, Ms. Lorenzi or any other key employee could materially adversely affect our business and our prospects for the future. We do not have key person insurance on the lives of such individuals and the loss of any of their services could materially adversely affect us.

We are dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified technical, sales and managerial personnel.

Our future success depends in part on our continuing ability to attract and retain highly qualified technical, sales and managerial personnel. Competition for such personnel in the beverage industry is intense and we may not be able to retain our key managerial, sales and technical employees or attract and retain additional highly qualified technical, sales and managerial personnel in the future. Any inability to attract and retain the necessary technical, sales and managerial personnel could materially adversely affect us.

The FDA has not passed on the efficacy of our products or the accuracy of any claim we make related to our products.

Although six independent clinical studies have been conducted relating to the calorie-burning and related effects of our products, the results of these studies have not been submitted to or reviewed by the FDA. Further, the FDA has not passed on the efficacy of any of our products nor has it reviewed or passed on any claims we make related to our products, including the claim that our products aid consumers in burning calories or enhancing their metabolism.

Risk Factors Relating to Our Industry

We are subject to significant competition in the beverage industry.

The beverage industry is highly competitive. The principal areas of competition are pricing, packaging, distribution channel penetration, development of new products and flavors and marketing campaigns. Our products compete with a wide range of drinks produced by a relatively large number of manufacturers, most of which have substantially greater financial, marketing and distribution resources and name recognition than we do.

Important factors affecting our ability to compete successfully include the taste and flavor of our products, trade and consumer promotions, rapid and effective development of new, unique cutting edge products, attractive and different packaging, branded product advertising and pricing. Our products compete with all liquid refreshments and with products of much larger and substantially better financed competitors, including the products of numerous nationally and internationally known producers, such as The Coca Cola Company, Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, PepsiCo, Inc., Nestle, Waters North America, Inc., Hansen Natural Corp. and Red Bull. We also compete with companies that are smaller or primarily local in operation. Our products also compete with private label brands such as those carried by supermarket chains, convenience store chains, drug store chains, mass merchants and club warehouses.

There can be no assurance that we will compete successfully in the functional beverage industry. The failure to do so would materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We compete in an industry that is brand-conscious, so brand name recognition and acceptance of our products are critical to our success and significant marketing and advertising could be needed to achieve and sustain brand recognition.

Our business is substantially dependent upon awareness and market acceptance of our products and brands by our targeted consumers. Our business depends on acceptance by our independent distributors of our brand as one that has the potential to provide incremental sales growth rather than reduce distributors’ existing beverage sales. The development of brand awareness and market acceptance is likely to require significant marketing and advertising expenditures. There can be no assurance that Celsius® will achieve and maintain satisfactory levels of acceptance by independent distributors and retail consumers. Any failure of Celsius® brand to maintain or increase acceptance or market penetration would likely have a material adverse effect on business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our sales are affected by seasonality.

As is typical in the beverage industry, our sales are seasonal. Our highest sales volumes generally occur in the second and third quarters, which correspond to the warmer months of the year in our major markets. Consumer demand for our products is also affected by weather conditions. Cool, wet spring or summer weather could result in decreased sales of our beverages and could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our business is subject to many regulations and noncompliance is costly.

The production, marketing and sale of our beverage products are subject to the rules and regulations of various federal, state and local health agencies. If a regulatory authority finds that a current or future product or production run is not in compliance with any of these regulations, we may be fined, or production may be stopped, thus adversely affecting our financial conditions and operations. Similarly, any adverse publicity associated with any noncompliance may damage our reputation and our ability to successfully market our products. Furthermore, the rules and regulations are subject to change from time to time and while we closely monitor developments in this area, we have no way of anticipating whether changes in these rules and regulations will impact our business adversely. Additional or revised regulatory requirements, whether labeling, environmental, tax or otherwise, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 2 DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

Our executive offices are located at 2424 N. Federal Hwy, Suite 208, Boca Raton, FL 33431. We are currently being provided with space at this location by a related party, pursuant to a 12 month lease expiring in August, 2011 for $10,662 per month.

The Company has no warehouses or other facilities as we store our product at third party contract warehouse facilities.

ITEM 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On June 4, 2010, a lawsuit was commenced against us, entitled Ryan Fletcher v. Celsius Holdings, Inc., Case No. BC439055, pending in Los Angeles Superior Court, State of California (the "Litigation"). In the Litigation, plaintiff asserts that the Company is liable to him for violations of the California Consumer Legal Remedies Act, California Business and Professions Code Section 17200, et seq., and California Business and Professions Code Section 17500, et seq., arising out of the Company's advertising, marketing and packaging of its Celsius products. Plaintiff seeks to recover damages from the Company in an amount to be determined.

We have answered the complaint, exchanged written discovery and have deposed the plaintiff. Based on the foregoing, we believe that not only is the complaint without merit, but that the Litigation is frivolous. Accordingly, we have filed motions which, if granted will result in dismissal of the complaint, as well as possibly imposing sanctions upon the Plaintiff’s counsel. However, as the Litigation is still in its initial stages, it is impossible to predict the ultimate outcome at this time.

We are involved in other routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business, none of is expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any record or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

ITEM 5 MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Market Information

Our common stock was traded on the OTC Bulletin Board until the February 9, 2010 consummation of our 2010 public offering at which time our common stock and warrants were listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market. On December 31, 2010, our common stock and warrants were delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market for failure to comply with the requirements for continued listing and are traded in the OTC Market (formerly the pink sheets) The trading symbols for our common stock and warrants are CELH.PK and CELHW.PK, respectively. The prices represent inter-dealer quotations based without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions. The prices have been adjusted for the 1-for-20 reverse split implemented on December 23, 2009.

Holders of Record

As of December 31, 2010, we had 31 holders of record of our common stock. The number of record holders was determined from the records of our transfer agent and does not include beneficial owners of common stock whose shares are held in the names of various security brokers, dealers, and registered clearing agencies. We believe that there are in excess of 7,000 beneficial shareholders of our common stock.

Dividends

The Company has never declared nor paid any cash dividends on its capital stock and does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. By agreement, we are obligated to issue dividends in preferred stock to preferred stock holders; however, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends to preferred stock holders in the foreseeable future. The Company’s current policy is to retain any earnings in order to finance the expansion of its operations. The Company’s Board of Directors will determine future declaration and payment of dividends, if any, in light of the then-current conditions they deem relevant and in accordance with applicable law.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

Not applicable.

Accounting Policies and Pronouncements

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). 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. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including, among others, those affecting revenues, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the salability of inventory and the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, or if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates. Many of our estimates or judgments are based on anticipated future events or performance, and as such are forward-looking in nature, and are subject to many risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this report. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise this discussion to reflect any future events or circumstances.

Although our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the notes to consolidated financial statement, the following discussion is intended to describe those accounting policies and estimates most critical to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and our other accounting policies, see Note 2 contained in Part II, Item 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Accounts Receivable – We evaluate the collectability of its trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors. In circumstances where we become aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve for bad debts is estimated and recorded, which reduces the recognized receivable to the estimated amount we believe will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential bad debts, bad debt charges are recorded based on our recent past loss history and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable outstanding.

Revenue Recognition – Our products are sold to distributors, wholesalers and retailers for cash or on credit terms. Our credit terms, which are established in accordance with local and industry practices, typically require payment within 30 days of delivery. We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. All sales to distributors and retailers are final sales and we have a “no return” policy; however, in limited instances, due to credit issues or distributor changes, we may take back product. We believe that adequate provision has been made for cash discounts, returns, customer incentives and spoilage based on the Company’s historical experience. Revenue recognized is reduced by any cash discounts, returns and customer incentives related to the revenue originally recognized for the sale of the product.

Inventory – We hold raw materials and finished goods inventories, which are manufactured and procured based on our sales forecasts. We value inventory at the lower of cost and estimated net realizable value and include adjustments for estimated obsolescence, principally on a first in-first out basis. These valuations are subject to customer acceptance and demand for the particular products, and our estimates of future realizable values are based on these forecasted demands. We regularly review inventory detail to determine whether a write-down is necessary. We consider various factors in making this determination, including recent sales history and predicted trends, industry market conditions and general economic conditions. Differences could result in the amount and timing of write-downs for any period if we make different judgments or use different estimates.

Intangibles – Intangibles are comprised primarily of trademarks that represent our exclusive ownership of the Celsius® trademark in connection with the manufacture, sale and distribution of supplements and beverages. The Company also owns, or is in process of registering, some other trademarks in the United States, as well as in a number of countries around the world.

We evaluate our trademarks annually for impairment or earlier if there is an indication of impairment. If there is an indication of impairment of identified intangible assets not subject to amortization, management compares the estimated fair value with the carrying amount of the asset. An impairment loss is recognized to write down the intangible asset to its fair value if it is less than the carrying amount. The fair value is calculated using the income approach. However, preparation of estimated expected future cash flows is inherently subjective and is based on management’s best estimate of assumptions concerning expected future conditions. Based on management’s impairment analysis performed for the year ended December 31, 2010, the estimated fair values of trademarks exceeded the carrying value of $0.

In estimating future revenues, we use internal budgets. Internal budgets are developed based on recent revenue data and future marketing plans for existing product lines and planned timing of future introductions of new products and their impact on our future cash flows.

Stock-Based Compensation –We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula to estimate the fair value of its stock options at the date of grant. The Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. The Company’s employee stock options, however, have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options. For example, employee stock options are generally subject to vesting restrictions and are generally not transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility, the expected life of an option and the number of awards ultimately expected to vest. Changes in subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates of an option. Furthermore, the estimated fair value of an option does not necessarily represent the value that will ultimately be realized by an employee. The Company uses historical data to estimate the expected price volatility, the expected option life and the expected forfeiture rate. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the estimated life of the option. If actual results are not consistent with the Company’s assumptions and judgments used in estimating the key assumptions, the Company may be required to increase or decrease compensation expense or income tax expense, which could be material to its results of operations.

Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Information regarding newly issued accounting pronouncements is contained in Part II, Item 7, Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Results of Operations

As a result of the losses we incurred, the Company decided in December 2010 to significantly reduce overhead, downsize operations, decrease consumer marketing expenses and review unprofitable accounts and undertake corrective action in order to reduce cash outlays and allow the Company to operate on a break-even or close to break-even basis. While the Company believes it has sufficient capital resources to fund its operations for the balance of 2011, the Company believes that without a capital infusion or other strategic transaction, its ability to achieve revenue growth will be limited. Accordingly, management continues to explore strategic options with respect to the financing, sale or restructuring of the Company.

Year Ended December 31, 2010 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2009

Revenue

Revenue increased 41.7% for the year 2010 to $8.3 million, as compared to $5.9 million in 2009. The increase was mainly due to increased sales directly to new retailers.

Revenue for the 4th quarter of 2010 was $103,000 as compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 2009. The decrease largely resulted from returns of overstock inventory by three major customers. Revenue for the 4th quarter would have been approximately $1.3 million, without these returns and credits. During the 4th quarter 2009 we recorded a pipe-line fill of $1.4 million to a major customer, and without this initial order, revenue for the 4th quarter of 2009 would have been approximately $1.0 million.

Net Revenue in 2010 was significantly adversely affected by trade promotions. Gross revenue before promotional discounts, coupons, slotting fees and rebates was $13.1 million in 2010 as compared to $6.7 million for 2009.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was 13.2% of net revenue for 2010, as compared to 47.8% in 2009. Gross profit for the fourth quarter of 2010 was significantly impacted by the above discussed returns and credits in addition to an increase in the reserve for inventory obsolescence related to the expected lower salvage value of the returned products. Gross profit for the 4th quarter was a negative $1.6 million. Without the returns, credits and allowance for obsolescence the gross profit would have been approximately $464,000 or 34.2% which is comparable to the first nine months of 2010. Gross profits were also affected by the increase in trade promotions and discounts in 2010 compared to 2009.

Operating Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses increased to $15.2 million in 2010 as compared to $8.0 million in 2009, an increase of $7.2 million or 89.8%. This increase was mainly due to increased cost of samplings at retailers, print, TV and radio advertising. General and administrative expenses increased to $4.7 million in 2010 as compared to $2.3 million in 2009, an increase of $2.4 million. The increase was mainly due to increased cost for issuance and cancellation of stock options, $1.3 million, increased administrative employee cost, including severance, of $722,000, and increased professional fees, $335,000.

Other Expense

Other expense consists of interest on outstanding loans of $396,000 in 2010 as compared to $322,000 in 2009. The increase of $74,000 was mainly due to an increase in total debt as well as increased interest rates. Our interest income increased from $16,000 in 2009 to $18,000 in 2010, an increase of $2,000. We also incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt for $322,000 in 2010, in connection with a renegotiation of the $6.5 million loan in February 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have yet to establish any history of profitable operations. As a result, at December 31, 2010, we had an accumulated deficit of $38.6 million. At December 31, 2010, we had working capital of $1.4 million. We have had operating cash flow deficits in all quarters of our operations. Our revenue has not been sufficient to sustain our operations.

As a result of the losses we incurred, the Company decided in December 2010 to significantly reduce overhead, downsize operations, decrease consumer marketing expenses and review unprofitable accounts and undertake corrective action in order to reduce cash outlays and allow the Company to operate on a break-even or close to break-even basis. While the company believes it has sufficient capital resources to fund its operations for the balance of 2011, the Company believes that without a capital infusion or other strategic transaction, its ability to achieve revenue growth will be limited. Accordingly, management continues to explore strategic options with respect to the financing, sale or restructuring of the Company.

Our financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2010 were prepared assuming we would continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that could result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

We borrowed $50,000 from the CEO of the Company in February 2006. We also owed the CEO $171,000 for accrued salaries from 2006 and 2007. The two debts were restructured in to one note accruing 3% interest, monthly payments of $5,000 and with a balloon payment of $64,000 in January 2011. The outstanding balance under the note as of December 31, 2010 was $64,000. The note was restructured in January 2011 to continue monthly payments of $5,000 until paid in full.

In September 2009, we entered into a $6.5 million loan agreement with CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC. The loan is due in September 2012. Interest was set at 300 basis points over the one-month LIBOR rate. The interest rate was re-negotiated on February 1, 2010 to 700 basis points over one (1) month LIBOR. Interest is payable quarterly. On March 10, 2010, CDS converted $4.5 million of the convertible note into common stock at the exercise price of $10.20 per share.

In July 2010, we entered into a $3.0 million line of credit agreement with CD Financial, LLC. The amounts borrowed thereunder are due in July 2012. Interest was set at five percent per annum and paid quarterly. As of December 31, 2010, the outstanding debt was $2.0 million and we can draw the remaining $1.0 million upon request.

The following table summarizes contractual obligations and borrowings as of December 31, 2010, and the timing and effect that such commitments are expected to have on our liquidity and capital requirements in future periods (in thousands). We expect to fund these commitments primarily with raise of debt or equity capital.

Our Securities Purchase Agreement with Golden Gate Investors, Inc.

On December 19, 2007, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Golden Gate Investors, Inc (GGI). The purchase agreement included four tranches of $1,500,000 each. The first tranche consisted of our 7.75% convertible debenture issued in exchange for $250,000 in cash and a promissory note for $1,250,000 issued by GGI which was to mature on February 1, 2012. The promissory note contained a prepayment provision which required GGI to make prepayments of interest and principal of $250,000 monthly upon satisfaction of certain conditions. One of the conditions to prepayment was that GGI may immediately sell all of the common stock issued upon Conversion (as defined in the debenture) pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933. We were under no contractual obligation to ensure that GGI may immediately sell all of the Common Stock Issued at Conversion (as defined in the debenture) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1934. In the event that GGI may not immediately sell all of the Common Stock Issued at Conversion pursuant to Rule 144, GGI would be under no obligation to prepay the promissory note and likewise under no obligation to exercise its conversion rights under the debenture. If GGI did not fully convert the debenture by its maturity on December 19, 2011, the balance of the debenture was to be offset by any balance due to us under the promissory note. On September 8, 2009, the Company entered into an addendum to the agreement with GGI. The balance of the note receivable, $250,000 was netted against the balance of the debenture. All future tranches were cancelled and terminated without penalty to either party. The remaining balance of the debenture was converted in June 2010. In total, GGI converted $1.2 million of its convertible debenture through June 2010 receiving 972,078 shares of common stock.

Our Securities Purchase Agreements with CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC

On August 8, 2008, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC. Pursuant to the agreement, we issued 100 shares of Series A preferred stock, as well as a warrant to purchase an additional 50 shares of Series A preferred stock, for a cash payment of $1.5 million and the cancellation of two notes in aggregate amount of $500,000 issued to CD Financial, LLC. The shares of Series A preferred stock can be converted into our common stock at any time. The securities purchase agreement was amended on December 12, 2009 to provide that until December 31, 2010, the conversion price is $1.60, after which the conversion price is the greater of $1.60 or 90% of the volume weighted average price of the common stock for the prior 10 trading days. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement, under which we registered the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A preferred stock for resale under the Securities Act of 1933. The Series A preferred stock accrues ten percent annual cumulative dividends, payable in additional shares of Series A preferred stock. We issued 15.1 shares of Series A preferred stock in dividends during 2010, in dividends for the years 2009 and 2010. The Series A preferred stock matures on February 1, 2013 and is only redeemable in our common stock.

In November 2009, CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC exercised its right to purchase an additional 50 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for cancellation of a $1.0 million note issued to CD Financial, LLC.

On December 12, 2008, we entered into a second securities purchase agreement with CDS. Pursuant to this securities purchase agreement, we issued 100 shares of Series B preferred stock, as well as a warrant to purchase an additional 100 shares of Series B preferred stock, for a cash payment of $2.0 million. The shares of Series B preferred stock were convertible into our common stock at any time. Until December 31, 2010, the conversion price was $1.00, after which the conversion price was the greater of $1.00 or 90% of the volume weighted average price of the common stock for the prior 10 trading days. We also granted CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B preferred stock. The Series Preferred B stock accrued a ten percent annual cumulative dividend, payable in additional shares of Series B preferred stock. We issued 11 shares of Series B preferred stock in dividends during the first quarter of 2010. The Series B preferred stock was scheduled to mature on December 31, 2013 and was only redeemable in our common stock.

On March 31, 2009, CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC exercised its right to purchase an additional 100 shares of Series B preferred stock and executed a subscription agreement for $2.0 million. The monies for the subscription were paid on April 7 and May 1, 2009.

On December 23, 2009, CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC converted all of the Series B preferred stock (including shares issuable in payment of accrued dividends) into 4,343,000 shares of common stock. We recorded a liability to CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC for a $100,000 fee for their agreement to convert the Series B preferred stock into common stock on an accelerated basis, which was paid during 2010.In March 10, 2010, CDS Ventures of South Florida LLC converted all of our Series A preferred stock it held, including accrued dividends, into 2,103,466 shares of common stock (a conversion price of $1.60 per share).

Pursuant to the securities purchase agreements relating to our Series A preferred stock, CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC was given the right to designate two members to our board of directors, which were designated in August 2009.

Our Refinance Agreement with Lucille Santini

On September 8, 2009, we entered into a convertible loan agreement with Lucille Santini, a principal shareholder. We received advances from Ms. Santini at various times during 2004 and 2005, totaling $76,000 and $424,000, respectively. The advances carried interest at a rate variable with the prime rate. In September 2010, the debt was refinanced, with no amortization and the note is due on September 8, 2012. This note carries a variable interest rate equal to 300 basis points over the one (1) month LIBOR. Commencing on September 8, 2010 and continuing each three month period hereafter, we will make payments of all accrued but unpaid interest only. The loan can at any time be converted to shares of our common stock at the Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” is: (A) from September 8, 2010 through and including December 31, 2011, equal to the lesser of (i) $8.00 per share, or (ii)”Market Price” on the date of conversion (as defined above); or (B) after December 31, 2011 the greater of(i) $8.00 per share, or (ii) Market Price on the date of conversion, as appropriately adjusted for in either case stock splits, stock dividends and similar events; provided, however, that, the Conversion Price shall never be less than $2.00 regardless of Market Price on the date of conversion. In connection with the refinance agreement, was also granted Ms. Santini certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the debt.

In March 2010, the balance of $615,000 of convertible debt was converted into 176,659 shares of common stock (a conversion price of $3.48 per share).

Our Convertible Loan Agreement with CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC

On September 8, 2009, we entered into a convertible loan agreement with CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC. Under the loan agreement, CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC will lend us up to $6,500,000. The loan is due on September 8, 2012 and carries a variable interest rate equal to 300 basis points over the one (1) month LIBOR. In January 2010, we agreed to increase the interest rate to 700 basis points over the one (1) month LIBOR. Commencing on September 8, 2010 and continuing each three month period hereafter, we will make payments of all accrued but unpaid interest only on the unpaid principal amount. The loan can at any time be converted to shares of our common stock at the Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” was originally based on a price at $8.00 per share of a market price calculation at the date of conversion. In order to comply with the listing requirements for the NASDAQ Stock Market, in January 2010 the parties amended the convertible loan agreement to set the Conversion Price at $10.20 per share, which was the consolidated closing bid price of the common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on the business day prior to the date the agreement was entered into. In January 2010 we borrowed $1.0 million on the loan and at that point the full $6.5 million was outstanding.

In March 2010, CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC converted $4.5 million of the convertible into 441,176 shares of common stock. The outstanding balance on the loan as of December 31, 2010 was $2,000,000.

Other Related Party Transactions

We have accrued $171,000 for Stephen Haley’s salary from March 2006 through May 30, 2007. Mr. Haley, our CEO, also lent us $50,000 in February 2006. The two debts were restructured in to one note accruing 3% interest, monthly payments of $5,000 and with a balloon payment of $64,000 in January 2011. The outstanding balance under the note as of December 31, 2010 was $64,000. The note was restructured in January 2011 to continue monthly payments of $5,000 until paid in full.

The CEO guaranteed the lease agreement for the Company’s former offices. The CEO has not received any compensation for the guarantee. This lease was terminated on September 30, 2010.

The Company also rented offices from a company affiliated with CD Financial LLC. This lease was terminated on August 31, 2010.

In September, 2010, the Company consolidated its operations into offices rented from a company affiliated with CD Financial, LLC. Currently the lease is for one year until August 2011, renewable, with a monthly rent of $10,662. The rental fee is commensurate with other properties available in the market.

Secondary Public Offering

On February 16, 2010, the Company sold 900,000 units resulting in a secondary public offering at a price of $16.125 per unit. Each unit consists of four shares of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock. The warrants are exercisable at a price of $5.32 per share at any time through February 8, 2013. The offering generated gross proceeds of $14.5 million and net proceeds, approximately $13.1 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented on a going concern basis. The Company has suffered losses from operations, and has an accumulated deficit and net cash used in operations of $14,222,786 for the year ended December 31, 2010. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management is currently seeking new capital or debt financing to provide funds needed to increase liquidity, fund growth, and implement its business plan. However, no assurances can be given that the Company will be able to raise any additional funds. If not successful in obtaining financing, the Company will have to substantially diminish or cease its operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors

Celsius Holdings, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Celsius Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statements presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010, and 2009, respectively, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations, and has an accumulated deficit and net cash used in operations of $14,222,786 for the year ended December 31, 2010. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regards to these matters are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.	ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Business —Celsius Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 26, 2005.On January 24, 2007, the Company entered into a merger agreement and plan of reorganization with Elite FX, Inc., a Florida corporation. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement Elite FX, Inc. was merged into the Company’s subsidiary, Celsius, Inc. and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company on January 26, 2007.

The Company is engaged in the development, marketing, sale and distribution of “functional” calorie-burning fitness beverages under the Celsius® brand name.

2.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Going Concern — The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented on a going concern basis. The Company has suffered losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit and net cash used in operations of $14,222,786 for the year ended December 31, 2010. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management is currently seeking new capital or debt financing to provide funds needed to increase liquidity, fund growth, and implement its business plan. However, no assurances can be given that the Company will be able to raise any additional funds. If not successful in obtaining financing, the Company will have to substantially diminish or cease its operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Consolidation Policy — The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Celsius Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Significant Estimates — The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentrations of Risk — Substantially all of the Company’s revenue derives from the sale of the Celsius beverage. The Company uses single supplier relationships for its raw materials purchases and filling capacity, which potentially subjects the Company to a concentration of business risk. If these suppliers had operational problems or ceased making product available to the Company, operations could be adversely affected.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high-quality financial institutions. At times, balances in the Company’s cash accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit.

Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2010, the Company did not have any investments with maturities greater than three months.

Accounts Receivable — Accounts receivable are reported at net realizable value. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors pertaining to the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. Delinquent accounts are written-off when it is determined that the amounts are uncollectible. At December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, there was an allowance for doubtful accounts of $32,433 and $74,296, respectively.

Inventories — Inventories include only the purchase cost and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the FIFO method. Inventories consist of raw materials and finished products. The Company writes down inventory during the period in which such materials and products are no longer usable or marketable. At December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, there was a reserve for obsolescence of $741,696 and $43,548, respectively.

Property, Fixtures, and Equipment — Furniture, fixtures and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of furniture, fixtures, and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset generally ranging from three to seven years.

CELSIUS HOLDINGS, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — In accordance with ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment” the Company reviews the carrying value of intangibles and other long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparison of its carrying amount tot eh undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds it fair value.

Revenue Recognition — Revenue is recognized when the products are delivered, invoiced at a fixed price and the collectability is reasonably assured. Any discounts, sales incentives or similar arrangements with the customer are estimated at time of sale and deducted from revenue.

Advertising Costs — Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company uses mainly radio, local sampling events and printed advertising. The Company incurred advertising expense of $10.6 million and $4.2 million, during the fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively

Research and Development — Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred and consists primarily of consulting fees, raw material usage and test productions of beverages. The Company incurred expenses of $120,000 and $115,000, during the fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximates fair value. The carrying value of debt approximates the estimated fair value due to floating interest rates on the debt.

Income Taxes — Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other than changes in the tax law or rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is deemed more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be not realized.

Earnings per Share — Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income available to stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon conversion of preferred shares, exercise of stock options and warrants (calculated using the reverse treasury stock method). As of December 31, 2010 there were options outstanding to purchase 565,000 shares, which exercise price averaged $2.53. There are no dilutive common shares equivalents.

Reclassifications— Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on the reported net loss.

Share-Based Payments —Effective January 1, 2006, the Company has fully adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 718 “Compensation — Stock Compensation” and related interpretations. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant as the fair value of the share-based payments. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.

10.	CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE, OTHER

On December 19, 2007, the Company entered into a $6 million security purchase agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with Golden Gate Investors, Inc (“GGI”), a California corporation. Under the Security Agreement, the Company issued as a first tranche a $1.5 million convertible debenture maturing on December 19, 2011. The debenture accrued seven and 3/4 percent interest per annum. As consideration the Company received $250,000 in cash and a note receivable for $1,250,000. The note receivable accrued eight percent interest per annum and was due on February 1, 2012. The note had a pre-payment obligation of $250,000 per month when certain criteria were fulfilled. The Company was not obligated to convert the debenture to shares, partially or in full, unless GGI prepaid the respective portion of its obligation under the note. The Security Agreement contained three more identical tranches for a total agreement of $6 million.

The debenture is convertible to common shares at a conversion rate of eighty percent of the average of the three lowest volume weighted average prices for the previous 20 trading days. The Company is not obligated to convert the amount requested into Company common stock if the conversion price is less than $4.00 per share. GGI’s ownership in the company could not exceed 4.99% of the outstanding common stock. Under certain circumstances the Company could have been forced to pre-pay the debenture with a fifty percent penalty of the pre-paid amount.

On September 8, 2009, the Company entered into an addendum to the agreement with GGI. Pursuant to the addendum, the balance of the Company’s note receivable, $250,000, was netted against the balance of the debenture issued to GGI and all future tranches were cancelled and terminated without penalty to either party.

The Company recorded a debt discount of $186,619 with a credit to additional paid in capital for the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of the conversion option at the time of issuance. The debt discount was amortized over the term of the debenture. The Company recorded $1,481 and $136,949 as interest expense amortizing the debt discount during 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company considered ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging and concluded that the conversion option should not be bifurcated from the host. We also concluded that the conversion option is recorded as equity and not a liability.

From June 2008 to December 2010, the Company converted $1,185,000 of the debenture to approximately 1.0 million shares of Common Stock and the Company paid $65,000 of the debenture in cash.

The outstanding liability, net of debt discount, as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $0 and $34,519, respectively.

11.	CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE, RELATED PARTIES

The Company entered into a loan agreement for up to $6.5 million in September 2009 and issued a convertible note to one of its shareholders. The note carried interest of one month LIBOR plus 3%, payable the first time on the anniversary of the agreement, thereafter quarterly. The loan matures on September 9, 2012. The outstanding balance can be immediately converted into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price. The conversion price was originally based on a price of $8.00 per share, or a market price calculation at the date of conversion. In order to comply with the listing requirements for the NASDAQ Stock Market, in January 2010, the parties amended the convertible loan agreement to set the conversion price to $10.20, which was the consolidated closing bid price of the common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on the business day prior to the date the loan agreement was entered into. At the same time the interest rate was increased to one month LIBOR plus 7%. The Company recorded a debt discount totaling $362,500 with a credit to additional paid in capital for the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of the conversion option at the time of each draw on the loan. The debt discount was amortized over the remaining term of the debenture. The Company recorded $7,225 and $32,919, respectively, as interest expense amortizing the debt discount during 2010 and 2009, respectively. In concurrence to the amendment to of the loan agreement, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $322,356, the unamortized debt discount at the time of amendment. The Company considered requirements by the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the ASC and other guidance and concluded that the conversion option should not be bifurcated from the host contract and the conversion option is recorded as equity and not a liability. In March 2010, the shareholder gave notice of its election to convert $4.5 million of the convertible into 441,176 shares of common stock. The outstanding balance on the loan as of December 31, 2010 was $2,000,000. The Company is obligated to file a registration statement upon written notice from CDS and such registration statement must be effective within 180 days of the date of notice. If after the 180 days the company has not complied with the agreement it shall pay $65,000 per month in penalty, until the registration statement is effective.

15.	INCOME TAXES

For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company’s net tax provision was zero.

The difference between the effective income tax rate and the United States federal income tax rate is summarized as follows:

	2010		2009
Statutory federal rate	(34.0	)%	(34.0	)%
State income tax	(3.6	)%	(3.6	)%
Effect of permanent differences	4.5	%	4.2	%
Change in valuation allowance	33.1	%	33.4	%
	0.0	%	0.0	%

The deferred tax asset consisted of the following at December 31:

		2010			2009
Net operating losses	$	12,506,000		$	6,474,000
Other deferred tax assets		509,000			82,000
Valuation allowance		(13,015,000	)		(6,556,000	)
Total	$	0		$	0

In assessing the ability to realize a portion 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. 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 and projected future taxable income in making the assessment. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $13.0 million and $6.6 million, respectively. The increase in valuation allowance was $6.4 million and $2.5 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in valuation allowance was primarily attributable to the increase in net operating losses. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance at December 31, 2010 of $13.0 million or 100% of the assets.

Net operating loss carry forwards expire:

2024	$	95,699
2025		787,446
2026		1,392,190
2027		3,303,187
2028		4,528,859
2029		7,095,757
2030		16,030,355
Total	$	33,233,493

The Company’s net operating loss carry forwards may be limited due to ownership changes pursuant to Internal Revenue Code section 382.

In July 2006, the FASB issued ASC 740. This Interpretation prescribes a consistent recognition threshold and measurement standard, as well as clear criteria for subsequently recognizing, derecognizing and measuring tax positions for financial statement purposes. The Interpretation also requires expanded disclosure with respect to uncertainties as they relate to income tax accounting. ASC 740 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has evaluated all of its tax positions and determined that ASC 740 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations during its year ended December 31, 2010.

16.	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company adopted an Incentive Stock Plan on January 18, 2007. This plan is intended to provide incentives which will attract and retain highly competent persons at all levels as employees of the Company, as well as independent contractors providing consulting or advisory services to the Company, by providing them opportunities to acquire the Company's common stock or to receive monetary payments based on the value of such shares pursuant to Awards issued. While the plan terminates 10 years after the adoption date, issued options have their own schedule of termination. Until 2017, options to acquire up to 2.5 million shares of common stock may be granted at no less than fair market value on the date of grant. Upon exercise, shares of new common stock are issued by the Company.

The Company has issued approximately 833,000 options to purchase shares at an average price of $1.92 with a fair value of $919,000. For the year ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company recognized $1,835,443 and $429,562, respectively, of non-cash compensation expense (included in General and Administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations). As of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had approximately $163,000 and $1.7 million, respectively, of unrecognized pre-tax non-cash compensation expense which the Company expects to recognize, based on a weighted-average period of 0.9 years. The Company used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and straight-line amortization of compensation expense over the two to three year requisite service or vesting period of the grant. There are options to purchase approximately 715,000 shares that have vested, and 267,000 shares were exercised as of December 31, 2010. The following is a summary of the assumptions used:

Risk-free interest rate		0.9% - 4.9%
Expected dividend yield		—
Expected term		3 – 5 years
Expected annual volatility		73% - 90%

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its stock option awards and warrant issuances. The calculation of the fair value of the awards using the Black - Scholes option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price on the date of grant as well as assumptions regarding the following:

●

Estimated volatility is a measure of the amount by which the Company’s stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the expected life of the award. The Company’s estimated volatility is an average of the historical volatility of peer entities whose stock prices were publicly available. The Company’s calculation of estimated volatility is based on historical stock prices of these peer entities over a period equal to the expected life of the awards, which ranges from 3 to 4 years. The Company uses the historical volatility of peer entities due to the lack of sufficient historical data of its stock price in the market in which its shares trade which can be expected to repeat itself in the future. This is due to among other things that in the past the Company’s stock has traded on the OTC Bulletin Board and will now trade on the NASDAQ National Market;

●	The expected term represents the period of time that awards granted are expected to be outstanding .With the passage of time, actual behavioral patterns surrounding the expected term will replace the current methodology;

●	The expected dividend yield is 0, based on the Company’s policy not to issue cash dividends; and

●	The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the stock option award is granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the stock option award.

During 2009, the Company issued a total of 14,801 shares as compensation to a consultant at a fair value of $36,125. There exists no agreement to issue additional shares.

18.	OPERATING LEASES

The Company entered into an office lease effective September 2010. The monthly rent amounts to $10,662 per month and the lease terminates in August 2011. Future annual minimum payments required under operating lease obligations at December 31, 2010 are as follows:

Future Minimum Lease Payments

2011	$	85,296
2012 and thereafter		0
Total	$	85,296

19.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has entered into distribution agreements with liquidated damages in case the Company cancels the distribution agreements without cause. Cause has been defined in various ways. It is management’s belief that no such agreement has created any liability as of today’s date.

There is one agreement that also has liquidated damages, but instead of a monetary damage, the potential liability is to have to issue shares to the distributor at a purchase price of $1.20. The quantity of shares depends on this distributor’s purchases from the Company as compared to the Company’s total revenue.

20.	BUSINESS AND CREDIT CONCENTRATION

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue derives from the sale of the Celsius beverage.

The Company uses single supplier relationships for its raw materials purchases and filling capacity, which potentially subjects the Company to a concentration of business risk. If these suppliers had operational problems or ceased making product available to the Company, operations could be adversely affected. No vendor accounted for more than 10% of total payments.

During 2010, the Company recorded revenue from two customers during the year for a total of 46.9% of the Company’s total revenue for the year. Both customers are continuing customers and the Company has recognized revenue from both of them in 2011.

21.	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

We have evaluated events and transactions that occurred subsequent to December 31, 2010 through the date these financial statements were issued, for potential recognition or disclosure in the accompanying financial statements. Other than the disclosures shown, we did not identify any events or transactions that should be recognized or disclosed in the accompanying financial statements.

ITEM 9A DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”).Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to Celsius Holdings, Inc., including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended).Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010.In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management has also evaluated our internal controls over financial reporting, and there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their last evaluation.

In connection with the loan agreement entered into with CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC in September 2009, we agreed to expand our board of directors to seven persons and CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC was granted the right to designate two additional directors or a majority of our board of directors. Messrs. Lynch and Swanson are its two additional designees. This agreement was modified in June 2010 to comply with listing requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. At each meeting held subsequent to Celsius’ 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, CDS will have the right to designate such number of nominees as equal its percentage of Celsius’ outstanding common and other capital stock which votes together with the common stock to elect directors beneficially owned (calculated in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission) multiplied by seven (7) and rounded up to the nearest whole number, unless (a) such percentage is less than fifty percent (50%) and rounding up would allow CDS to designate a majority of the nominees, in which case, the number shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, or (b) such percentage is twenty percent (20%) or less, in which case CDS shall have the right to designate a single nominee. This right of designation will terminate at such time as CDS beneficially holds less than 10% of the Company’s common and other capital stock which votes together with the common stock to elect directors.

Compensation of Directors

Our bylaws provide that, unless otherwise restricted by our certificate of incorporation, our board of directors has the authority to fix the compensation of directors. The directors may be paid their expenses, if any, related to attendance at each meeting of the board of directors and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the board of directors or a stated salary as our director. Our bylaws further provide that no such payment will preclude any director from serving our company in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefore. Further, members of special or standing committees may be given compensation for attending committee meetings.

Effective January 18, 2007, non-employee directors received cash fees of $4,000 per year. Effective January 1, 2010, the annual cash fee for outside directors is $12,000.In addition, members of the audit committee receive an additional annual cash fee of $2,000 and the chairman of the audit committee receives $2,000 for serving in such capacity. Members of the compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees receive an additional cash fee of $1,000.

The exercise price of the stock options will be the fair market value of our common stock as of the date of grant.

Terms of Directors and Executive Officers

All of our directors serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors are elected by shareholders and qualified, or until their earlier death, retirement, resignation or removal. Currently, our board of directors consists of seven persons, four of whom have been designated by CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC. Our bylaws authorized the board of directors to designate from among its members one or more committees and alternate members thereof, as they deem desirable, each consisting of one or more of the directors, with such powers and authority (to the extent permitted by law and these bylaws) as may be provided in such resolution. Executive officers serve at the pleasure of the board of directors.

Board Committees and Independence

In November 2009, our board of directors established three committees, an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. The audit committee currently consists of Messrs. Cast, Nast and Lynch, the compensation committee currently consists of Messrs. Cast, Nast and Milmoe and the nominating and corporate governance committee currently consists of Messrs. Milmoe, Nast and Cast. Our board of directors has determined that each of Messrs. Cast, Nast, Lynch and Milmoe is “independent” within the meaning of the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market.

In addition, we believe each of Messrs. Cast, Nast, Milmoe and Lynch qualifies an “audit committee financial expert” as the term is defined by the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the NASDAQ Stock Market listing standards, based on their respective business professional experience in the financial and accounting fields.

Audit Committee

The audit committee assists our board of directors in its oversight of the company’s accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of our company’s financial statements, including (i) the quality and integrity of our company’s financial statements, (ii) our company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (iii) the independent auditors’ qualifications and independence and (iv) the performance of our company’s internal audit functions and independent auditors, as well as other matters which may come before it as directed by the board of directors. Further, the audit committee, to the extent it deems necessary or appropriate, among its several other responsibilities, shall:

●	be responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, termination and oversight of the work of any independent auditor engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services for our company;

●	discuss the annual audited financial statements and the quarterly unaudited financial statements with management and the independent auditor prior to their filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q;

●

review with our company’s financial management on a period basis (a) issues regarding accounting principles and financial statement presentations, including any significant changes in our company’s selection or application of accounting principles, and (b) the effect of any regulatory and accounting initiatives, as well as off-balance sheet structures, on the financial statements of our company;

●	monitor our company’s policies for compliance with federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations and our company’s policies on corporate conduct;

●	maintain open, continuing and direct communication between the board of directors, the audit committee and our independent auditors; and

●	monitor our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and shall have the authority to initiate any special investigations of conflicts of interest, and compliance with federal, state and local laws and regulations, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, as may be warranted.

Mr. Cast is the chairman of our audit committee.

Compensation Committee

The compensation committee aids our board of directors in meeting its responsibilities relating to the compensation of our company’s executive officers and to administer all incentive compensation plans and equity-based plans of the company, including the plans under which company securities may be acquired by directors, executive officers, employees and consultants. Further, the compensation committee, to the extent it deems necessary or appropriate, among its several other responsibilities, shall:

●

review periodically our company’s philosophy regarding executive compensation to (i) ensure the attraction and retention of corporate officers; (ii) ensure the motivation of corporate officers to achieve our company’s business objectives, and (iii) align the interests of key management with the long-term interests of our company’s shareholders;

●	review and approve corporate goals and objectives relating to Chief Executive Officer compensation and other executive officers of our company;

●	make recommendations to the board of directors regarding compensation for non-employee directors, and review periodically non-employee director compensation in relation to other comparable companies and in light of such factors as the compensation committee may deem appropriate; and

●	review periodically reports from management regarding funding our company’s pension, retirement, long-term disability and other management welfare and benefit plans.

Mr. Milmoe is the chairman of our compensation committee.

Compensation Consultants

Neither the compensation committee nor company management has engaged outside compensation consultants.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The nominating and corporate governance committee recommends to the board of directors individuals qualified to serve as directors and on committees of the board of directors to advise the board of directors with respect to the board of directors composition, procedures and committees to develop and recommend to the board of directors a set of corporate governance principles applicable to our company; and to oversee the evaluation of the board of directors and our company’s management. The nominating committee does not have a policy to consider diversity in nominating directors.

Further, the nominating and corporate governance committee, to the extent it deems necessary or appropriate, among its several other responsibilities shall:

●	recommend to the board of directors and for approval by a majority of independent directors for election by shareholders or appointment by the board of directors as the case may be, pursuant to our bylaws and consistent with the board of director’s evidence for selecting new directors;

●	review the suitability for continued service as a director of each member of the board of directors when his or her term expires or when he or she has a significant change in status;

●	review annually the composition of the board of directors and to review periodically the size of the board of directors;

●	make recommendations on the frequency and structure of board of directors meetings or any other aspect of procedures of the board of directors;

●	make recommendations regarding the chairmanship and composition of standing committees and monitor their functions;

●	review annually committee assignments and chairmanships;

●	recommend the establishment of special committees as may be necessary or desirable from time to time; and

●	develop and review periodically corporate governance procedures and consider any other corporate governance issue.

Mr. Milmoe is the chairman of our nominating and corporate governance committee.

Governance Structure

The Company has chosen to combine the principal executive officer and board chairman positions. Given the relatively small size of the Company, combining the principal executive officer and board chairman positions is the most efficient board leadership structure. Further, five of the Company’s seven board members are independent. Due to the significant majority of independent directors the Company believes that combining the principal executive officer and board chairman positions is the most appropriate board leadership structure for the Company.

No lead independent director has been designated to chair meetings of the independent directors.

Board of Directors Role in Risk Oversight

The Company’s audit committee has periodic meetings with management and the Company’s independent auditors to perform risk oversight with respect to the Company’s internal control processes. The Company’s audit committee is comprised of a majority independent directors and chaired by an independent director. The Company believes that the board’s role in risk oversight does not materially affect the leadership structure of the Company.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our executive officers, directors and employees. The code of ethics codifies the business and ethical principles that govern all aspects of our business. This document will be made available in print, free of charge, to any shareholder requesting a copy in writing from our Secretary at our executive offices in Delray Beach, Florida. A copy of our code of ethics is available on our website at www.celsius.com.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of ownership of, and transactions in, our equity securities with the SEC. Such directors, executive officers and 10% shareholders also are required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.

Based on a review of the copies of such reports and the written representations of such reporting persons, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our directors, executive officers and 10% shareholders were complied with during 2010.

Employment Agreements

We are party to an employment agreement with Stephen C. Haley, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, which expires on December 31, 2011. The agreement with Mr. Haley provides for a base annual salary of $165,000 and a discretionary annual bonus. Mr. Haley is entitled to severance benefits if his employment is terminated upon his death or by us other than for cause. These severance benefits include (a) a lump sum payment in the event of his death equal to his annual base salary plus the annualized amount of incentive compensation paid Mr. Haley most recently multiplied by the term remaining in his employment agreement and (b) a lump sum payment in the event of a termination other than for cause equal to his annual base salary plus the annualized amount of incentive compensation paid Mr. Haley most recently multiplied by the greater of the term remaining in his employment agreement or one year, and a continuation of all other benefits through for the greater of the term remaining in his employment agreement or one year. If Mr. Haley terminates his employment for reasons other than our breach of the agreement or if we terminate the agreement for cause, Mr. Haley will not be entitled to severance benefits. The employment agreement was amended in December 2010, with the consequence that the base salary was reduced 20% to $132,000 with immediate effect. The reduction of $33,000 annually will be paid out retroactively upon a change of control.

We are also party to employment agreement with Janice Haley, our Vice President, which provides for a base annual salary of $120,000 and an annual discretionary bonus. This agreement expires December 31, 2010. If Ms. Haley’s employment agreement is terminated other than for cause she is entitled to severance benefits equal to one twelfth of the sum of her then current annual base salary plus the annualized amount of incentive compensation paid to her within the last year before the date of termination, multiplied by the greater of (i) the number of full and partial months remaining in the term of the agreement or (ii) three months. The employment agreement was amended in December 2010, with the consequence that the base salary was reduced 20% to $96,000 with immediate effect. The reduction of $24,000 annually will be paid out retroactively upon a change of control.

We are also party to employment agreement with Mr. Geary Cotton, our Chief Financial Officer, which expires on December 31, 2011. The agreement with Mr. Cotton provides for a base annual salary of $120,000 and a discretionary annual bonus, as well as severance, change in control and non-competition provisions comparable to those contained in the employment agreements with Mr. Haley. The employment agreement was amended in December 2010, with the consequence that the base salary was reduced 20% to $96,000 with immediate effect. The reduction of $24,000 annually will be paid out retroactively upon a change of control.

If after a change of control, excluding control by CD Financial, LLC and/or its affiliates, Mr. Haley, Ms. Haley or Mr. Cotton terminates his or her respective employment agreement, then a severance benefit is due to the employee. The severance benefits consist of a lump sum payment equal to his or her annual base salary plus the annualized amount of incentive compensation multiplied by two years, in the case of Mr. Haley and Mr. Cotton, and the greater of six months or the remaining employment agreement term in the case of Ms. Haley.

Bonus plans have not yet been established by the board of directors or the compensation committee, but may contain items such as goals to achieve certain revenue, to reduce cost of production, to achieve certain gross margin, to achieve financing and similar criteria.

These employment agreements may be terminated by us for cause, which includes the executive committing an act or an omission resulting in a willful and material breach of or failure or refusal to perform his or her duties, committing fraud, embezzlement, misappropriation of funds or breach of trust in connection with his or her services, conviction of any crime which involves dishonesty or breach of trust, or acts of gross negligence in the performance of his or her duties (provided that we give the executive notice of the basis for the termination and an opportunity for 15 days to cease committing the alleged conduct) or violation of the confidentiality or non-competition requirements of the employment agreement.

Under the terms of each of the employment agreements, during the term of employment and during the severance period, but in no event not less than one year, after termination of employment, neither Mr. Haley, Mr. Cotton nor Ms. Haley may own, manage or work for, directly or work for, a competitive business in any geographic region in which we conduct business. A competitive business is the manufacturing export, sale or distribution of calorie-burning beverages and supplements. The post-employment noncompete period for an employee can be extended by an additional year if we pay the employee an amount equal to 30% of his or her last annual base salary and bonuses.

In January 2010, Jan Norelid, who had served as our Chief Financial Officer and a director since January 2007, stepped down from those positions. Mr. Norelid remained with the Company until August 2010, after which he has been consulting with the company on an hourly basis.

ITEM 13.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

On September 8, 2010, we entered into a convertible loan agreement with Lucille Santini, a principal shareholder. We received advances from Ms. Santini at various times during 2004 and 2005, totaling $76,000 and $424,000, respectively. The advances carried interest at a rate variable with the prime rate. In July, 2009, the debt was refinanced, with interest at prime rate flat and monthly amortization of $5,000. A balloon payment of approximately $606,000 was due in January 2009. In July, 2009, the debt was refinanced again, with interest at prime rate flat and monthly amortization of $11,500. A balloon payment of approximately $451,600 was due in January 2011. This note together with a cash payment of $3,699 was exchanged for a new note due on September 8, 2012. This note carried a variable interest rate equal to 300 basis points over the one (1) month LIBOR. Commencing on September 8, 2010 and continuing each three month period hereafter, we would make payments of all accrued but unpaid interest only. On March 3, 2010, Ms. Santini issued to us a notice of her election to convert the entire note balance into 176,659 shares of common stock.

In connection with the July 2009 refinance agreement, Ms. Santini was also granted certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the debt.

We have accrued $171,000 in salary for Mr. Haley, our CEO, from March 2006 through May 30, 2007. Mr. Haley also lent us $50,000 in February 2006. The two debts were restructured in July 2009 into one note accruing 3% interest, no collateral, monthly payments of $5,000 and with a balloon payment of $64,000 in January 2011. The outstanding balance as of December 31, 2010 was $63,882. In January 2011 the note was amended and monthly payments of $5,000 will continue until the note is paid in full.

Mr. Haley previously guaranteed an office lease for the Company. The lease has been terminated and no obligation is outstanding. Mr. Haley was not compensated for issuing the guarantee.

On August 8, 2008, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC. Pursuant to the agreement, we issued 100 shares of Series A preferred stock, as well as a warrant to purchase an additional 50 shares of Series A preferred stock, for a cash payment of $1.5 million and the cancellation of two notes in aggregate amount of $500,000 issued to CD. The shares of Series A preferred stock were convertible into our common stock at any time. The securities purchase agreement was amended on December 12, 2008 to provide that until December 31, 2010, the conversion price was $1.60, after which the conversion price was the greater of $1.60 or 90% of the volume weighted average price of the common stock for the prior 10 trading days. Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which we registered the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A preferred stock for resale under the Securities Act of 1933. The Series A preferred stock accrued ten percent annual cumulative dividends, payable in additional shares of Series A preferred stock. The Series A preferred stock was scheduled to mature on February 1, 2013 and was only redeemable in our common stock.

In November 2010, CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC exercised its right to purchase an additional 50 shares of Series A preferred stock in exchange for cancellation of a $1.0 million note issued to CD Financial, LLC. In March 2010, CDS issued us notice to convert all of its Series A preferred stock to 2,103,446 shares of common stock.

On December 12, 2008, we entered into a second securities purchase agreement with CDS. Pursuant to this securities purchase agreement, we issued 100 shares of Series B preferred stock, as well as a warrant to purchase an additional 100 shares of Series B preferred stock, for a cash payment of $2.0 million. The shares of Series B preferred stock were convertible into our common stock at any time. Until December 31, 2010, the conversion price was $1.00, after which the conversion price was the greater of $1.00 or 90% of the volume weighted average price of the common stock for the prior 10 trading days. We also granted CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B preferred stock. The Series Preferred B stock accrued a ten percent annual cumulative dividend, payable in additional shares of Series B preferred stock. The Series B preferred stock was scheduled to mature on December 31, 2013 and was only redeemable in our common stock.

On March 31, 2009, CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC exercised its right to purchase additional 100 shares of Series B preferred stock and executed a subscription agreement for $2.0 million. The monies for the subscription were paid on April 7 and May 1, 2009.

On December 23, 2009, CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC converted all of the shares of Series B preferred stock (including shares issuable in payment of accrued dividends) into 4,343,000 shares of common stock.We recorded a liability to CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC, for a $100,000 fee for their agreement to convert the Series B preferred stock into common stock on an expedited basis.

On September 8, 2009, we entered into a convertible loan agreement with CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC. Under the loan agreement, CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC will lend us up to $6,500,000, with disbursements of the $2,000,000 during each of September, October and November 2010 and $500,000 in December 2010, provided that no disbursement shall be made in an amount less than $500,000. Any amounts not requested for disbursement in one calendar month could be carried over to a subsequent month and disbursed in addition to the maximum of such subsequent month. The loan is due on September 8, 2012 and carries a variable interest rate equal to 300 basis points over the one (1) month LIBOR. In January 2010, we agreed to increase the interest rate to 700 basis points over the one (1) month LIBOR. Commencing on September 8, 2010 and continuing each three month period thereafter, we started to make payments of all accrued but unpaid interest only on unpaid principal balance. The loan is convertible at any time into shares of our common stock at the Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” was originally based on a price of $8.00 per share or a market price calculation at the date of conversion. In order to comply with the listing requirements for the NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC, in January 2010, the parties amended the convertible loan agreement to increase the Conversion Price at $10.20 per share, which was the consolidated closing bid price of the common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on the business day prior to the date the agreement was entered into. In March 2010, CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC issued us a notice to convert $4.5 million of the outstanding $6.5 million for 441,176 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2010, the outstanding balance of the loan was $2.0 million.

In connection with the loan agreement, CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC was granted certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to the agreement with CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC pursuant to which we filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in October of 2010 for shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the debt under the loan agreement. This registration statement was subsequently withdrawn on November 17, 2010.

Under its various securities purchase and loan agreements with us, CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC has the right to designate four out of seven members of our board of directors, which have all been nominated..

We have funded part of our working capital from a line of credit with CD Financial, LLC. The first line of credit was entered into in December 2008 and was for $1.0 million. The interest rate was LIBOR rate plus three percent on the outstanding balance. The line was scheduled to expire in December 2010 and was renewable. In connection with the revolving line of credit we have entered into a loan and security agreement under which we have pledged all our assets as security for the line of credit. In February 2010, we terminated the line of credit and paid off the entire balance. In July 2010, we entered into a new non-revolving line of credit for $3.0 million. The interest rate was set to 5% per annum. In connection with the line of credit we entered into a loan and security agreement under which we have pledged all our assets as security for the line of credit. The outstanding balance as of December 31, 2010 was $2.0 million.

We have entered into a six month lease agreement expiring in March 2010 for office space with CDR Plaza, Ltd. a company controlled by Carl DeSantis. The monthly rate is $4,260 for a 3,000 square foot space, which we believe to be comparable to market rates. Said lease was extended on a month-to-month basis until August 2010. In September 2010, we entered into a new lease for another office space with CDR Federal, LLC, a company controlled by Carl DeSantis. The monthly rate is $10,662 for a 5,492 square foot space, which we believe to be comparable to market rates.

Our board of directors’ policy is to pre-approve all audit services and all non-audit services that our independent auditor is permitted to perform for us under applicable federal securities regulations. As permitted by the applicable regulations, our board of directors’ policy utilizes a combination of specific pre-approval on a case-by-case basis of individual engagements of the independent auditor and general pre-approval of certain categories of engagements up to predetermined dollar thresholds that are reviewed annually by our board of directors. Specific pre-approval is mandatory for the annual financial statement audit engagement, among others.
