PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” relating to Infusion Brands International, Inc. (referred to as the “Company” or “we”, “us” or “our” in this Form 10-Q), which represent the Company’s current expectations or beliefs including, but not limited to, statements concerning the Company’s operations, performance, financial condition and growth. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may”, “anticipation”, “intend”, “could”, “estimate”, or “continue” or the negative or other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, such as credit losses, dependence on management and key personnel, variability of quarterly results, and the ability of the Company to continue its growth strategy and competition, certain of which are beyond the Company’s control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes and results could differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all of such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Infusion Brands International, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 – Basis of presentation:
 
Infusion Brands International, Inc. is a Nevada Corporation. We are a global consumer products company, specializing in developing innovative solutions and marketing profitable brands through our international direct-to-consumer channels of distribution.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2011 and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. However, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information includes all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented. The operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year ending December 31, 2011. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Transition Report on Form 10-KT for the transition period ended December 31, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Note 2 – Going concern and management’s plans:

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles contemplates that operations will be sustained for a reasonable period. However, we have incurred operating losses of $2,099,547 and $5,381,040 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, and we have used $5,652,817 of cash in our operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. As of September 30, 2011, we have cash on hand of $1,371,401 and working capital of $2,488,456. Since our inception, we have been substantially dependent upon funds raised through the sale of preferred and common stock and warrants to sustain our operating and investing activities. These are conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period.

Our management began implementing strategic plans designed and developed during the fourth quarter of the prior year with the intention of alleviating ongoing operating losses. The principal focus of these plans was an intensified emphasis on the redesign of the consumer products business, shifting its focus from the highly expensive product based distribution model to a global brand development and brand ownership model. Management believes that the planned model, which is currently under development, will provide more predictable revenue streams as well as current and long-term profitability by curtailing the cost structure, allowing for longer product life, and providing for next-version, next-generation and follow-on opportunities to those branded products. However, substantial investment is required to support this change. The Company received $5,500,000 of funding from the sale of preferred stock and warrants during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, $2,500,000 of which is carried in advances pending completion of the documents and transfer of the securities. Advances of $1,000,000 on the impending sale of additional preferred stock and warrants were received during October 2011. Notwithstanding this additional funding, our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period is dependent upon achieving our management’s plans for the Company’s reorganization and, ultimately, generating profitable operations from those restructured operations. We cannot give any assurances regarding the success of management’s plans. Our consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 3 – Acquisition:

On May 9, 2011, we purchased 50% of the outstanding common stock of Home Shopping Express S.A. (“HSE”) for cash consideration of $75,154, and an option to purchase the remaining 50% of the outstanding common stock of HSE based upon its forward revenue levels. HSE, which is located in Baleares, Spain, is engaged in the development and retail sale of consumer products throughout most of Europe, in particular, HSE's flagship product the Dual Saw by Startwin. Through this acquisition, we became the principle owners of the intellectual property related to Dual Saw in geographic regions whereby Startwin already took ownership of this trademark right. By combining our enterprises, we believe this acquisition helps to unify the worldwide brand for Dual Saw. Moreover, with a global presence this acquisition will help open channels of distribution for cross border promotion of our other respective branded products. 

Our rights associated with our purchase contractually provide for management and governance control over all operational and financial aspects of HSE. Upon our purchase, all pre-acquisition HSE board members resigned and our Chief Executive Officer was appointed as the sole board member. We also have rights to all earnings of HSE. As a result of the rights associated with our initial investment in HSE and following the guidance in ASC 810 Consolidation, we have concluded that HSE is a variable interest entity on the basis that our 50% interest in the HSE common stock affords us symmetrically higher voting rights than would typically accompany a 50% ownership interest in common stock; in this instance our voting rights effectively rise to 100%. Further, we have concluded that the Company is the primary beneficiary to the variable interest entity pursuant to ASC 810, because we have the controlling financial interest. That is, we possess the power to direct the activities of HSE and we have the right to receive all of its residual returns. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of HSE have been consolidated commencing with May 1, 2011, which date was used for convenience after our conclusion that there were no material intervening transactions between May 1, 2011 and May 9, 2011.

The following table reflects the assets of HSE acquired and liabilities assumed, at their respective fair values, as reconciled with our purchase consideration:

Note 4 – Dispositions and discontinued operations:

During the prior year quarter ended December 31, 2010, management with the support of our Board of Directors, concluded that the continuing losses from our holdings in the former Fashion Goods and eCommerce Segments (the “Discontinued Segments”) and the associated drain on our limited capital resources warranted discontinuance of the businesses and disposal of the assets comprising the Discontinued Segments. We accounted for and reported our disposals of the Discontinued Segments as discontinued operations pursuant to ASC 205-20 Presentation of Financial Statements. Under ASC 205–20, a component of an entity that can be clearly distinguished operationally and for financial reporting purposes from the rest of the entity is reported in discontinued operations if both (a) the operations and cash flows have been or will be eliminated from the ongoing operations and (b) the continuing entity will have no significant ongoing involvement or obligations associated with the components disposed. The Discontinued Segments meet these criteria for purposes of presentation of discontinued operations.

All disposals under this plan were completed during the quarter ended December 31, 2010. Operating activities of the Discontinued Segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 are presented as a one-line caption in our consolidated statements of operations. The composition of the operations of the Discontinued Segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 is as follows:

(1) Accounts payable and accrued expenses with a carrying value of $932,943 at September 30, 2011 related to the HSE operations. See Notes 3 and 12.

(2) On March 2, 2011, we entered into a media funding arrangement with a financial institution that provides for the financing of certain of our defined media and marketing material expenditures. The borrowing facility does not have a stated maximum, although borrowings are limited to certain defined account receivable levels. The facility has an initial term of one year with consecutive one year renewal terms unless terminated by either party. It provides for fees to the lender equal to 2.5% of the qualified amounts paid plus deferred payment arrangements that provide for interest at an approximate rate of 8.7% per annum. The lender has a first creditor’s secured priority interest in certain accounts receivable and inventories that are specific to the direct-response marketing campaign they finance.

Note 8 – Derivative financial instruments:

Our derivative financial instruments (liabilities) in prior periods consisted of warrants and compound embedded derivatives that originated in connection with our financing arrangements. On December 17, 2010, we modified the warrant agreements and the Series G Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation to eliminate the down-round anti-dilution protection features that prevented equity classification of the financial instruments. Modifications to the Series G Preferred Stock, which was an akin-to-liability type financial instrument, as more fully discussed in Note 10, did not rise to substantive levels for purposes of extinguishment accounting. Accordingly, on the modification date, we adjusted these financial instruments to fair value and reclassified the balance, amounting to $3,584,182, to paid-in capital. No change to the carrying value of the Series G Preferred Stock resulted from these modifications and this financial instrument will continue to be accreted to its future redemption value, also more fully discussed in Note 10.

Note 8 – Derivative financial instruments (continued):

Derivative warrants were valued using Black-Scholes-Merton at September 30, 2010. The following significant assumptions and ranges of assumptions were developed from Level 1 and Level 3 inputs:

   
Number
   
Strike
   
Term
   
Volatility
   
Rate
 
Vicis Warrant
    70,000,000     $ 0.10       8.80       87.2 %     2.53 %
Series B Warrants
    480,000     $ 0.10       1.65       205.7 %     0.42 %
Series C Warrants
    2,731,228     $ 0.10       2.05—7.05       98.6%—193.9 %     0.42%—1.91 %
Series G Warrants
    50,000,000     $ 0.10       9.76       82.8 %     2.53 %
Placement Agent Warrants
    5,546,980     $ 0.10       8.38—9.01       89.4%—86.1 %     2.53 %

The trading market price for our common stock was $0.10 at September 30, 2010. The remaining term of our warrants is used as our term input. Since our trading history does not cover a period sufficient for computing volatility in all instances, we use a weighted average of our historical volatility based upon days of trading history over the days of the remaining term, coupled with the trading history of a peer group. For purposes of the risk-free rate, we use the published yields on zero-coupon Treasury Securities with maturities consistent with the remaining term of the warrant.

Bifurcated put derivatives were valued using probability weighted, discounted cash flow models. Credit-risk adjusted rates ranged from 11.8% to 12.6% for periods of one to three years, respectively. Bifurcated conversion features were valued using Monte Carlo Simulations.

Our embedded conversion option derivative at September 30, 2010 represented the conversion option, certain redemption and put features in our Series G Preferred Stock. See Note 10 for additional information about our Series G Preferred Stock. These embedded features (i) met the definition of derivatives individually and (ii) were not clearly and closely related to the host preferred stock based upon economic characteristics and risks. This is because the Series G Preferred Stock, being both redeemable for cash on a specific future date, coupled with a periodic return (i.e. cumulative dividend) that was consistent with returns for debt, caused us to conclude that the Series G Preferred Stock bore risks more closely associated with debt-type financial instruments. Accordingly, when comparing the risks of the debt-type host contract with the risks of the equity-type embedded features, they were not clearly and closely related. We subsequently modified the terms of the Series G Preferred Stock to eliminate the conditions that gave rise to liability classification.

For purposes of valuation, the features embedded in the Series G Preferred Stock were combined into one compound embedded derivative that we fair valued using the Monte Carlo valuation technique. Monte Carlo was believed by our management to be the best available technique for this compound derivative because, in addition to providing for inputs such as trading market values, volatilities and risk free rates, Monte Carlo also embodies assumptions that provide for credit risk, interest risk and redemption behaviors (i.e. assumptions market participants exchanging debt-type instruments would also consider). Monte Carlo simulates multiple outcomes over the period to maturity using multiple assumption inputs also over the period to maturity. The following table sets forth (i) the range of inputs for each significant assumption and (ii) the equivalent, or averages, of each significant assumption as of September 30, 2010:

We have concluded that the interest rate collar on the variable rate mortgage note is clearly and closely related to the host debt instrument and, accordingly, it does not require bifurcation and recognition at fair value. The interest rate in effect during the current quarterly period was at the 6.5% floor.

Accounts Receivable Financing Arrangement:

On January 28, 2011, we entered into an accounts receivable sales and financing arrangement that provides for the assignment and sale of certain qualified accounts receivable to a financial institution. The facility has an initial term of one year and provides for cash advances in amounts of 75% of qualified accounts receivable balances assigned up to an amount of $1,000,000. The initial term may be extended in one year periods upon the mutual agreement of the Company and the lender. The lender receives an initial discount of 1.75% of the net realizable value of the qualified receivable. Subsequently, the lender receives an additional 1.0% discount for each 15 day period that the qualified receivable has not been collected. Further, the lender has a secured priority interest in the accounts receivable that they finance. This arrangement does not qualify for sales accounting under current accounting standards and is, therefore, subject to accounting as a financing arrangement wherein we will carry the assigned receivables in our accounts until they are settled and advances that we receive from the lender will be reflected as liabilities. The discounts will be classified as interest expense. There was $68,962 outstanding under this arrangement as of September 30, 2011. We carry these advances in the accounts receivable classification of our balance sheet.

Note 10 – Redeemable preferred stock (continued):

Redeemable preferred stock represents preferred stock that is either redeemable for cash on a specific date or contingently redeemable for cash for events that are not within the control of management. Preferred stock where redemption for cash is certain to occur is classified in liabilities. We currently have no preferred stock classified in liabilities. Redeemable preferred stock is required to be classified outside of stockholders’ equity (in the mezzanine section).

On March 31, 2011, the Certificate of Designation governing the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock was amended to remove a provision that, while improbable of occurrence, could result in redemption in cash. The provision required redemption in the event of a change in control. Since the removed provision was the only term that caused the Series C Preferred to be classified outside of stockholders’ equity, upon removal of that provision, the carrying value was reclassified to stockholders’ equity.

On June 30, 2010, we sold 5,000,000 shares of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock for proceeds of $5,000,000. The financing included the issuance of warrants to the investors to purchase 50,000,000 shares of our common stock for $0.10 per share. Pursuant to the financing arrangement, we extended a secured priority interest in substantially all of our assets to the investor. Subsequently, pursuant to inter-creditor agreements, the investor subordinated their interest in the assets that secure the media funding finance agreement that is described in Note 7 and the accounts receivable financing agreement that is described in Note 9.

On March 16, 2011 and April 6, 2011, we entered into oral agreements with a certain accredited investor (the “Investor”) to sell the Investor, subject to the filing of an amendment to the Certificate of Designation of its Series G Convertible Stock 1,000,000 and 2,000,000 shares of its Preferred Stock, respectively, and Series G Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 10,000,000 and 20,000,000 shares of the common stock, respectively. The purchase prices of $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 were received from the Investor in the form of advances on March 16, 2011 and April 6, 2011, respectively. The Preferred Stock purchase agreements and other related transaction documents (the “Transaction Documents”) were executed on July 8, 2011. The proceeds from the advances received through September 30, 2011 are carried in non-current liabilities pending allocation to the financial instruments.

The conversion price is subject to adjustment solely for traditional capital restructurings, such as splits, stock dividends and reorganizations (traditional restructuring events). The Certificate of Designation also provides for voting rights equal to the if-converted number of common shares. Dividends are cumulative and payable quarterly whether or not declared by our Board of Directors. Accordingly, we accrue dividends payable as they are earned by the investors.

Note 10 – Redeemable preferred stock (continued):

The outstanding 8,000,000 shares of Series G Preferred are mandatorily redeemable for cash of $80,960,000, which is payable on June 30, 2013 as follows:

 
·
The stated value of $8,000,000 is payable on June 30, 2013.
 
·
An additional dividend equal to $1.00 per share of Series G Preferred was payable on June 30, 2011 if the special preferred distribution discussed in the next bullet point has not been paid before that date (aggregate redemption value $8,000,000). The investor waived payment of this additional dividend on the payment date, but it will continue to accrue dividends as provided in the Certificate of Designation at a rate of 8.0%.
 
·
A special preferred distribution equal to $8.12 per share of Series G Preferred is payable on June 30, 2013 or earlier at our option (aggregate redemption value of $64,960,000). This special preferred distribution could have been reduced by the amount of the additional dividend discussed in the preceding bullet point if the additional dividend was paid on the June 30, 2011.

Quarterly and annual regular dividend requirements are $192,000 and $640,000, respectively, while the Series G Preferred Stock is outstanding. These dividends are payable quarterly irrespective of declaration by our Board.

The mandatory redemption feature embodied in the Series G Preferred Stock is probable of payment. Accordingly, we are required to accrete the carrying value of the Series G Preferred Stock to its redemption value by charges to paid-in capital using the effective interest method. The following summarizes the annual accretion for each fiscal year ending December 31:

On June 30, 2010 and July 8, 2011, we entered into securities purchase agreements with Vicis pursuant to which Vicis purchased 5,000,000 and 3,000,000 shares, respectively, of our Series G Convertible Preferred Stock and Series G Warrants to purchase 50,000,000 and 30,000,000 shares, respectively of our common stock for $0.10 per share for a period of ten years. Aggregate proceeds amounted to $8,000,000.

During September 2011, we received $2,500,000 in advances from the Investor on the impending sale of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock and Series G Warrants. Proceeds from these financings are carried in advances and are subject to allocation upon completion of the purchase documents and issuance of the securities. As more fully discussed in Note 15 Subsequent Events, we have entered into an additional $1,000,000 financing arrangement involving Series G Preferred Stock following the close of the current quarterly period.

Note 10 – Redeemable preferred stock (continued):

The Series G Preferred, under its original terms and conditions, embodied a conversion option which (i) meets the definition of a derivative and (ii) is not considered clearly and closely related to the host preferred stock based upon economic risks. Establishing a clear and close relationship between the host preferred contract and the embedded feature is necessary to avoid bifurcation, liability classification and fair value measurement of the embedded feature. In order to establish a clear and close relationship, we were first required to establish the nature of the host preferred instrument as either an akin to equity or an akin to debt type instrument. Because the Series G Preferred Stock is both redeemable for cash on a specific future date and embodies a periodic return (i.e. cumulative dividend) that was consistent with returns for debt we concluded that the Series G Preferred Stock bore risks more closely associated with debt-type financial instruments. The risks of the equity linked conversion option, not being clearly and closely related to the risks of the debt-type preferred host contract, required us to bifurcate the embedded conversion feature at its fair value and classify such amount in liabilities because there were no exemptions available based on the terms.

The Series G Warrants were evaluated for classification in either liabilities or equity. Generally, a freestanding warrant agreement must both (i) be indexed to the Company’s own stock and (ii) meet certain explicit criteria in order to be classified in stockholders’ equity. Because the Series G Warrants embodied anti-dilution features that would adjust the exercise price in the event of a sale of securities below the $0.10 exercise price, the Series G Warrants do not meet the indexed test; and, therefore, the explicit criteria does not require evaluation. As a result, the Series G Warrants require liability classification at their fair value both on the inception date of the financing arrangement and subsequently.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the proceeds from the Series G Preferred Stock and Warrant Financing Arrangement on June 30, 2010:

Financial Instrument:
 
Allocation
 
Series G Preferred, classified in redeemable preferred stock
  $ 2,870,000  
Embedded Conversion Feature
    800,000  
Series G Warrants
    1,330,000  
    $ 5,000,000  

Our allocation methodology provided that the proceeds were allocated first to the Series G Warrants at their fair value, second to the Embedded Conversion Feature at its fair value and, lastly, the residual to the Series G Preferred. We will accrete the Series G Preferred to its redemption value with charges to stockholders’ equity over the term to its mandatory redemption date using the effective interest method.

On December 17, 2010, we amended the Certificate of Designation and the warrants to exclude adjustment to the conversion and exercise prices in the event that we sell common shares or share linked contracts for per share amounts that are less. By eliminating this feature, the Series G Preferred Stock became a conventional convertible financial instrument which is exempt from bifurcation of its embedded conversion option. Similarly, the elimination of this feature in the warrants resulted in them becoming indexed to our own stock and, therefore, exempt for derivative classification.

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock:

On March 31, 2011, the Certificate of Designation governing the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock was amended to remove a provision that, while improbable of occurrence, could result in redemption in cash. Upon removal of that provision, the carrying value was reclassified to stockholders’ equity. Terms, Features and Conditions of our Series C Preferred Stock are as follows:

    10,620,000     $ 0.00001     $ 1.00     $ 1.00           $ 0.75     $ 0.25  

The conversion price is subject to adjustment for anti-dilution protection for (i) traditional capital restructurings, such as splits, stock dividends and reorganizations (traditional restructuring events), and (ii) sales or issuances of common shares or contracts to which common shares are indexed at less than the stated conversion prices (down-round protections). As it relates to adjustments to conversion prices arising from down-round financing triggering events, we account for the incremental value to convertible preferred stock classified as liabilities by charging earnings. For convertible preferred stock classified in stockholders’ equity or redeemable preferred stock (mezzanine classification) we charge the incremental value to paid-in capital or accumulated deficit, if paid-in capital is exhausted, as a deemed dividend.

The Series C Preferred has voting rights equal to the if-converted number of common shares and is redeemable for cash in an amount representing the stated value only in the event of a redemption triggering event as discussed below:

 
·
The Corporation shall fail to have available a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to issue to such Holder upon a conversion hereunder;
 
·
Unless specifically addressed elsewhere in the Certificate of Designation as a Triggering Event, the Corporation shall fail to observe or perform any other covenant, agreement or warranty contained in the Certificate of Designation, and such failure or breach shall not, if subject to the possibility of a cure by the Corporation, have been cured within 20 calendar days after the date on which written notice of such failure or breach shall have been delivered;
 
·
There shall have occurred a Bankruptcy Event or Material Monetary Judgment;

If the Company fails to pay the Series C Preferred Triggering Redemption amount on the date it is due, interest will accrue at a rate equal to the lesser of 18% per year, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, accruing daily from the date of the Triggering event until the amount is paid in full.

Note 11 – Equity (deficit) (continued):

Series E Convertible Preferred Stock:

On December 3, 2008, we designated 13,001,000 shares of our newly designated $0.00001 par value, $1.00 stated value, Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred Stock”) of which 13,000,000 were issued on August 27, 2009 in connection with our acquisition of Abazias. The Series E Preferred Stock votes with the common shareholders on an if-converted basis. The Series E Preferred Stock does not provide for either a liquidation preference or a dividend right. The Series E Preferred Stock was initially convertible into common stock on a one-for-one basis. However, this conversion rate was subject to a one-time adjustment, on the closing date of the Abazias purchase, where the conversion price was adjusted downward on a pro rata basis for common market values below $1.20, subject to a floor of $0.50. Since the market value on the closing date, August 27, 2009, was $1.01, the effective conversion price is $0.84; resulting in the 13,000,000 Series E Convertible Preferred Shares issued being indexed to 15,476,190 common shares. In addition to the aforementioned conversion adjustment, the Series E Preferred Stock provides for down-round price protection in the event that we sell shares or indexed securities below $1.20 during the two year period following issuance. In the event of a down-round financing, the conversion price is adjusted similarly to the one-time adjustment described above. That is, on a pro rata basis for down round financings at less than $1.20. This protection has a floor of $0.50. The current conversion price is $0.50. The Series E Preferred Stock conversion price is otherwise subject to adjustment for traditional reorganizations, such as stock splits, stock dividends and similar restructuring of equity. Finally, Infusion Brands is precluded from changing the designations of the Series E Preferred Stock without the approval of at least 80% of the holders.

The following table reflects the activity in our Series E Convertible Preferred Stock. There were no conversions during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

    2,526,776     $ 2,344,776  

The Series E Preferred shares issued in connection with the acquisition of Abazias were recorded at their fair value. Fair value was established based upon the common stock equivalent value of the Series E Preferred, using our trading market price on the closing date of the transaction ($1.01 on August 27, 2009), plus the incremental value associated with the anti-dilution protections afforded the holders of the Series E Preferred.

The effective conversion price of the Series E Preferred on the closing date of the Abazias acquisition was $0.84, which gave rise to a beneficial conversion feature. The beneficial conversion feature, which is recorded as a component of paid-in capital, was calculated by multiplying the linked common shares (15,476,190 common shares) times the spread between the trading market price of $1.01 and the conversion price of $0.84, or $2,605,158.

As of September 30, 2011, the remaining shares of Series E Preferred are convertible into 5,769,200 shares of common stock.

Note 11 – Equity (deficit) (continued):

Stock Options: Grant date fair values of stock options are calculated using the Binomial Lattice Valuation Technique. In previous years we used Black Scholes Merton; the effect of this change was immaterial and we believe that Binomial Lattice is a preferable technique.

We awarded stock options and similar arrangements, as follows:

 
·
On May 6, 2011, as part of our acquisition of HSE, we awarded the subsidiary’s president (i) 2,500,000 shares of common stock that had a fair value of $25,000 and (ii) an option to receive between 1,250,000 and 2,500,000 shares of common stock that are contingent upon achieving certain revenues and profitability levels. The bonus shares were expensed upon issuance. The fair value of the contingent option was calculated at $25,000 and is being amortized into compensation expense over the contingency period that is one year. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, $3,904 in compensation expense was recorded under this arrangement. The number of shares issuable under this arrangement is not determinable; therefore, no shares have been reflected in the previous table.
 
·
On December 31, 2009, we awarded employees 2,400,000 stock options with exercise prices of $0.35, pro rata vesting of four years and terms of four years. The grant date fair value amounted to $689,450. Volatility assumptions ranged from 139.35% to 282.51%; Risk-free rate assumptions ranged from 0.06% to 1.70%.
 
·
On March 31, 2010, we awarded employees 4,825,000 stock options with exercise prices of $0.19, pro rata vesting of five years and terms of five years. The grant date fair value amounted to $435,025. Volatility assumptions ranged from 138.40% to 211.91%; Risk-free rate assumptions ranged from 0.16% to 1.60%.
 
·
On June 30, 2010, we awarded 30,243,671 stock options to employees and consultants (12,097,468 shares) (of which 4,800,000 replaced previously issued stock options) with exercise prices of $0.01, pro rata vesting of three years and terms of ten years. The grant date fair value amounted to $1,723,890. Volatility assumptions ranged from 156.05% to 217.79%; Risk-free rate assumptions ranged from 0.18% to 1.00%.

On June 30, 2010, we granted 4,800,000 stock options to three officers and/or directors in exchange for an equal number of previously issued stock options. The 4,800,000 stock options have an exercise price of $0.01. The 4,800,000 stock options exchanged had exercise prices ranging from $0.19 to $0.35. The difference in fair value between the newly issued stock options and those exchanged amounted to $47,600, which amount was charged to compensation expense.

On January 21, 2010, 1,825,000 exercisable options were redeemed and cancelled in connection with the separation of an officer and an employee of the Company. None of our stock options are contractually redeemable for cash or other assets; rather, in the case of our former CEO, we agreed to redeem 1,800,000 stock options for a price of $50,000 pursuant to a separation agreement. The payment was charged to employment cost on the date of the officer’s separation. The remaining 25,000 stock options associated with the separation of another employee were cancelled.

Note 11 – Equity (deficit) (continued):

On January 15, 2009, we issued 1,845,000 stock options to employees and related parties, 1,520,000 stock options to employees and 325,000 stock options to affiliates classified as non-employees. The options have strike prices of $0.50 and expire in five years; the grant date fair market value per common share was $1.00. The awards vest to the benefit of each recipient upon grant. Total grant date fair value of these options amounted to $344,339, using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation technique, and was recorded as compensation in the period of grant. This amount is included in other operating expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. We used the remaining contractual term for the expected term, volatility ranging from 45.73% to 49.17% and risk-free rates ranging from 0.73% to 1.36%.

Common stock issued under a consulting agreement:

On February 8, 2011, we granted 20,162,448 shares of common stock to a consultant as partial consideration under a consultancy agreement. The common shares that we issued vest monthly, on a pro-rata basis over twelve months, as the services are rendered. We are expensing the costs associated with these shares and related services monthly, based upon the trading market price of our shares at the vesting dates, which is the measurement date for the share-based payment. We recorded $89,571 and $293,260 of consulting expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. Charges to consulting expense over the remaining term of the contract are dependent upon the trading market prices on the measurement dates (that is, when the consultant earns the compensation).

In addition to the shares above, we also agree to issue common shares to the consultant equaling 5.0% of our outstanding common stock after we redeem our Series G Convertible Preferred Stock, which is more fully discussed in Note 10. Current accounting standards provide that when the quantity of shares issuable in a share-based arrangement are dependent upon the achievement of a condition, the lowest possible value of all possible outcomes should be used to value the shares. The lowest possible value under this condition is zero provided for under a scenario where we are unable to pay the redemption on our Series G Convertible Preferred Stock.

Note 11 – Equity (deficit) (continued):

The effects of warrants, stock options and convertible preferred stock are excluded from the denominator during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 because their effect is anti-dilutive.

Settlement redemption:

On January 21, 2010, we redeemed 300,000 shares of common stock and stock options to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock for $50,000, which was in partial settlement of an employment arrangement with a former officer. The amount paid is included in compensation expense.

Foreign Currency:

As discussed in Note 3 and 12, we purchased HSE on May 9, 2011, which is based in Spain and maintains its records in Euros. Local currencies generally are considered the functional currencies outside the United States. Assets and liabilities for operations in local-currency environments are translated at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Cumulative translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders' equity. Exchange gains (losses), which were immaterial during the periods presented herein, are recorded in income.

Note 12 – Geographic areas:

Commencing May 9, 2011 with our acquisition of Spain-based HSE, we operate and sell retail products to consumers in Europe. The following tables summarize the composition of our operations, assets, liabilities, redeemable preferred stock and (deficit) by geographic area:

Note 13 – Commitments and contingencies:

Consulting Agreements:

On June 30, 2010, we entered into consulting agreements with two former members of our Board of Directors with two year terms. Each provides for annual compensation of $125,000 and a one-time stock option for 1.5% of our fully-diluted common ownership as calculated on the date of the agreement to each former member. The agreements provide for extension solely for cash compensation. The aggregate number of common shares linked to both stock options was 12,097,468 and the aggregate grant date fair value amounted to $689,556 using the Binomial Lattice Technique. The stock options have a strike price of $0.01, vest over two years and expire in ten years. However, exercise of the stock options is restricted to periods following the payment of the special dividends on our Series G Preferred Stock (see Note 10). We record the annual compensation as the services are earned, which is expected to be ratably over the term of the agreements. We will record the compensation expense associated with the stock options over the vesting period (see Note 11).

Litigation, claims and assessments:

We are involved in the following matters:

Mediaxposure Limited (Cayman) v. Kevin Harrington, Timothy Harrington, Infusion Brands International, Inc. (f/k/a OminReliant Holdings, Inc.), Vicis Capital Master Fund and Vicis Capital LLC:

United States District Court, Middle District of Florida, Case No. 11-CV-410

On February 28, 2011, Mediaxposure Limited (Cayman) (“Mediaxposure”) as purported assignee of claims of ResponzeTV, Ltd (“RETV”) commenced an action in the United States District Court, Middle District of Florida against certain individuals alleging causes of action for breach of fiduciary duty and aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty arising from an alleged misconduct of former board members. On October 7, 2011, Mediaxposure filed an amended complaint naming the Company and alleging that the Company breached a purported fiduciary duty to RETV. The amended complaint seeks unspecified money damages as against all defendants.

The Company’s time to answer or move with respect to the amended complaint expires on December 6, 2011. The Company disputes the allegations of the amended complaint and intends to vigorously defend the action.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 13 – Commitments and contingencies (continued):

As of September 30, 2011, the Company was subject to the various legal proceedings and claims discussed above, as well as certain other legal proceedings and claims that have not been fully resolved and that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the Company does not have a potential liability related to any current legal proceeding or claim that would individually or in the aggregate materially adversely affect its financial condition or operating results. However, the results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. Should the Company fail to prevail in these legal matters, the operating results of a particular reporting period could be materially adversely affected.

Other contingencies:

In connection with our business, we enter into other arrangements from time to time that are routine and customary for the operation of our business that include commitments, typically of a short duration. These arrangements include, among other things, infomercial development and production arrangements and royalty or contingent consideration to product manufacturers or infomercial hosts. As of September 30, 2011, we do not believe that our routine and customary business arrangements are material for reporting purposes.

Note 14 – Related party transactions:

Placement Agent and Related Services - Midtown Partner & Co. LLC and Apogee Financial Investments, serve as our placement agents and merchant banker, respectively, in connection with certain of our financing and other strategic transactions. These companies are owned by certain shareholders and former Board Members. We compensated these companies in warrants with fair values of $382,761 during the twelve months ended June 30, 2010, related to financing arrangements. Further, these companies are entitled to receive commissions from us upon the exercise by investors of warrants that were issued in connection with financings that they arranged for us.

Note 15 – Subsequent events:

We have evaluated subsequent events arising following the balance sheet date of September 30, 2011 through the date of November 17, 2011. There have been no material subsequent events not provided elsewhere herein or in filings on Form 8-K.

Financing Transactions

On October 20, 2011, we entered into an oral agreement with a certain accredited investor (the “Investor”) to sell the Investor, subject to the filing of an amendment to the Certificate of Designation of its Series G Convertible Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) 1,000,000 shares of our Preferred Stock and Series G Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants” and, together with the Preferred Stock, the “Private Placement Securities”). The purchase price of the Private Placement Securities is One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), and the funds were received from the Investor on October 20, 2011. However, a stock purchase agreement and other related transaction documents (the “Transaction Documents”) are in the process of being drafted with the Investor and, accordingly, have not been executed at this time. The Private Placement Securities will be issued to the Investor upon the execution of the Transaction Documents and upon the amending of the certificate of designation of the Preferred Stock.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows of Infusion Brands International, Inc. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein.

Material event affecting comparability of results:

On May 9, 2011, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Home Shopping Express S.A. (“HSE”) and the holders of 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of HSE pursuant to which we purchased 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of HSE for an aggregate purchase price of 50,000 Euros ($75,154 based upon the exchange rate on the transaction date). HSE, which is located in Baleares, Spain, is engaged in the development and retail sale of consumer products throughout most of Europe. HSE's flagship product is the Dual Saw by Startwin. Through this acquisition, we became the principle owners of the intellectual property related to Dual Saw in geographic regions whereby Startwin already took ownership of this trademark right. By combining our enterprises, we believe this acquisition helps to unify the worldwide brand for Dual Saw. Moreover, with a global presence this acquisition will help open channels of distribution for cross border promotion of our other respective branded products. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, we have the option for a period of twelve months to purchase the remaining 50% of the outstanding HSE common shares from the remaining HSE Shareholders based upon revenue and profitability milestones.

The Stock Purchase Agreement extends controlling rights to the Company regarding all financial and operational matters of HSE. In addition, all of the members of HSE’s current board of directors resigned and our Chief Executive Officer was appointed as the sole director of HSE. Finally, all operating profits of HSE were assigned to the Company. As a result of the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, we control HSE and it meets the definition of a variable interest entity wherein the Company is the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, we have applied acquisition accounting to our purchase and consolidate HSE in our financial statements following our acquisition.

Accordingly, commencing May 9, 2011 with our acquisition of Spain-based HSE, we operate and sell retail products to consumers in Europe. The following tables summarize the composition of our operations, assets, liabilities, redeemable preferred stock and (deficit) by geographic area, which are further discussed in this management’s discussion and analysis, below:

The above operating results include a bargain purchase gain of $244,113 and acquisition expenses of $44,636. The combined amount of $199,477 is reflected in consolidated income. A bargain purchase gain arises when the fair values of the net assets that we acquired are greater than our purchase price. Acquisition expenses are required to be expensed under current accounting standards.

Three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to three months ended September 30, 2010:

Revenues and costs of revenues – We derive the majority of our revenues from the sale of tangible branded consumer products through global direct to consumer channels of distribution. Commencing May 9, 2011, we conduct sales, marketing, distribution and fulfillment operations in two geographic areas: The United States and Europe. We also collect rents from leasing a portion of the real estate we own in Clearwater, Florida. Our comparison of material components of revenues are as follows:

Product sales: Our consolidated product sales increased by $720,859 or 49% to $2,194,643 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $1,473,784 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Of the consolidated three months sales, $972,723 was contributed by our European operations. The Company continues to enhance and diversify its channels of distribution for its brands by generating sales through domestic retailers, as well as generating sales to international distributors in Latin America and Europe. During the three months ended September 30, 2010 the management team had substantially curtailed revenue producing activities in order to reduce the drain on capital and evaluate opportunities available to the Company. The management team is now fully executing on our vision of becoming a global consumer products company which builds and markets brands globally through an ecosystem of direct to consumer marketing channels.

Cost of product sales: Our cost of product sales increased by $854,971 or 108% to $1,649,330 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $794,359 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Of this increase, $917,689 was contributed by our European operations. The increase was attributable to the significant increase in our consumer products sales for reasons discussed in the previous section. Our gross margin as a percent of product sales during the three months ended September 30, 2011 amounted to 25% (40% in the United States and 6% in Europe) compared to 46% during the three months ended September 30, 2010. Margins on retail products are dependent upon the types and demands for specific types of products. Accordingly, our ongoing margins will likely be volatile until we establish the types of products that will serve as our long-term base of offerings. The negative margin in the prior year quarter was attributable to inventory adjustments that became necessary during the curtailment period discussed in the preceding section.

Other revenue: Rental income of commercial real estate amounted to $74,307 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $35,904 or 93% when compared to $38,403 of rental income that we reported for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase is attributable to a higher level of occupancy in our building. Services revenue that was recorded in the prior year has been discontinued.

Other operating expenses – Other operating expenses consist of advertising expense, accounting and professional expenses, employment costs, depreciation and amortization and administrative expenses. Our analysis of the material components of changes in other operating expenses are as follows:

Advertising and promotion: Advertising and promotion expense decreased by $265,023 or 32% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $550,581 from $815,604 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Because we offer product for sale leveraging direct to consumer marketing methods, there is often times a direct correlation between our product sales revenue and our advertising expense. Advertising and promotion will continue to fluctuate as we enter new distribution channels and proactively promote our brands to create brand awareness and create brand relationships with consumers.

Employment Costs: Employment related costs consist of salaries and payroll, employee insurance, and share-based payment. These costs increased by $544,680 or 133% to $954,939 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $410,259 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The European operations contributed $168,617 to the total for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The balance of the increase is attributable to additional employees hired during the period. Employment costs for the three months ended September 30, 2011 include $87,012 in share-based payment expense related to employees. Share based payment expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 amounted to $135,953. We may use stock options in future periods to compensate our employees, which will increase our employment costs.

Other general and administrative: These costs and expenses include royalties, bad debts, occupancy costs and general office expenses. Our general and administrative costs increased by $49,751 or 6% to $857,935 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $808,184 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Our European operations contributed $131,402 of the general and administrative costs for the three months ended September 30, 2011. We anticipate that our other general and administrative expenses will increase proportionately as our business grows. The decrease in corporate general and administrative costs was attributable to a combination of decreases in our general office expenses and travel expenses.

Accounting and professional expense: Accounting and consulting professional expenses decreased by $410,383 or 56% to $328,983 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $739,366 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. These costs include fees relating to other professional consulting and audit related expenses. The decrease results from the staffing of our finance department that is performing many services previously provided by consultants.

Bargain purchase gain, net of expenses: The fair value of net assets of HSE that we acquired on May 6, 2011 exceeded the purchase price that we paid by $244,113. This amount, less $44,636 in acquisition expenses ($199,477) reflected in our nine month operating results. Of this amount, $43,697 related to certain adjustments to correct assumed accounts payable during the quarter ended September 30, 2011, which we were evaluating upon filing our prior quarterly report. Bargain purchases and acquisition expenses are recorded in operating income.

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense (excluding amounts included in cost of sales) increased $16,122, or 30% to $70,426 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $54,304 during the three months ended September 30, 2010. Depreciation and amortization during the three months ended September 30, 2011 is in line with our future expectations.

Other income (expense): Other income and expense include fair value adjustments related to our derivative financial instruments, interest expense and income, extinguishments and impairments. Our analysis of the material components of changes in the other income (expense) section of the statement of operations are as follows:

 
34

 
 
Interest and other income: Interest and other income (expense) net results from deposits and other short-term investment and other non-operating charges. Our interest and other income (expense), net decreased $143,373 or 147%, to a net expense of $45,806 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to net income of $97,567 during the three months ended September 30, 2010. During the current quarter, we received lower interest income. In addition, a settlement charge of $116,000 and an asset recovery of $41,000 is included in this balance.

Interest expense: Interest expense arises from our mortgage notes and notes payable. Interest expense increased $78,976 or 226% to $113,962 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $34,986 during the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase is due to higher average balances resulting from the HSE acquisition and balances associated with our accounts receivable financing arrangement discussed below in Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Derivative income (expense): Derivative expense of $5,581,270 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 related to fair value changes. On December 17, 2010, certain modifications were made to our investor warrants and convertible preferred stock that resulted in reclassification of the derivative liabilities to stockholders’ equity. We may enter into other financing arrangements that may give rise to derivative liabilities although no such arrangements are being considered at this time.

(Loss) income from continuing operations – We have reported a loss from continuing operations of $2,259,315 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to a loss of $7,574,745 during the three months ended September 30, 2010. The change is reflected in the preceding discussion.

Loss from operations of discontinued segments – During the prior year we discontinued and disposed of all holdings in the Fashion Goods and eCommerce Segments. Operating activities of the discontinued segments are presented as one-line captions in our consolidated statements of operations. Since our disposals were completed by the end of the prior quarterly period, there are no discontinued operations during the three months ended September 30, 2011. The composition of the operations of the discontinued segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 is as follows:

Net (loss) income – We have reported a net loss of $2,135,155 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to a net loss of $9,315,130 during the three months ended September 30, 2010. The change is reflected in the preceding discussion.

Nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2010:

Of this increase, $1,176,030 was contributed by our European operations. The increase was attributable to the significant increase in our consumer products sales for reasons discussed in the previous section. Our gross margin as a percent of product sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 amounted to 45% (48% in the United States and 30% in Europe) compared to 38% during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Margins on retail products are dependent upon the types and demands for specific types of products. Accordingly, our ongoing margins will likely be volatile until we establish the types of products that will serve as our long-term base of offerings.

Other revenue: Rental income of commercial real estate amounted to $198,615 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $8,361 or 4% when compared to $206,976 of rental income that we reported for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease is attributable to our corporate offices displacing tenants and assuming a higher level of occupancy in our building. Services revenue that was recorded in the prior year has been discontinued.

Other operating expenses – Other operating expenses consist of advertising expense, accounting and professional expenses, employment costs, depreciation and amortization and administrative expenses. Our analysis of the material components of changes in other operating expenses are as follows:

Advertising and promotion: Advertising and promotion expense increased by $3,107,858 or 227% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 to $4,474,418 from $1,366,560 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Because we offer product for sale leveraging direct to consumer marketing methods, there is often times a direct correlation between our product sales revenue and our advertising expense. Advertising and promotion will continue to fluctuate as we enter new distribution channels and proactively promote our brands to create brand awareness and create brand relationships with consumers.

 
36

 
 
Employment Costs: Employment related costs consist of salaries and payroll, employee insurance, and share-based payment. These costs increased by $1,672,331 or 102% to $3,317,687 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $1,645,356 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Employment costs for the current period include $685,752 ($675,889 cash and $9,863 share-based) that was paid to the operator of HSE pursuant to an employment contract. The European operations otherwise contributed $256,488 to the total for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The balance of the increase is attributable to additional employees hired during the period. Employment costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 include $277,057 in share-based payment expense. We may use stock options in future periods to compensate our employees, which will increase our employment costs.

Other general and administrative: These costs and expenses include royalties, bad debts, occupancy costs and general office expenses. Our general and administrative costs decreased by $153,976 or 8% to $1,875,497 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $2,029,473 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. While we have experienced increases in our office and travel expenses in the current period, our bad debt expense declined $300,000 from the same period of the prior year due to better collections and account management. We anticipate that our other general and administrative expenses will increase proportionately as our business grows.

Accounting and professional expense: Accounting and consulting professional expenses decreased by $905,959 or 44% to $1,134,580 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $2,040,539 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. These costs include fees relating to other professional consulting and audit related expenses. The decrease results from the staffing of our finance department that is performing many services previously provided by consultants.

Bargain purchase gain, net of expenses: The fair value of net assets of HSE that we acquired on May 6, 2011 exceeded the purchase price that we paid by $244,113. This amount, less $44,636 in acquisition expenses ($199,477) reflected in our nine month operating results. Of this amount, $43,697 related to certain adjustments to correct assumed accounts payable during the quarter ended September 30, 2011, which we were evaluating upon filing our prior quarterly report. Bargain purchases and acquisition expenses are recorded in operating income.

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense (excluding amounts included in cost of sales) decreased $650,335, or 77% to $191,019 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $841,354 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decline is due to the impairment of intangible assets in prior periods. Depreciation and amortization during nine months ended September 30, 2011 is in line with our future expectations.

Impairments: During the Nine months ended September 30, 2010 certain long-lived tangible and intangible assets were evaluated for impairment. The result of the review was a charge to operations in the amount of $3,881,462. Our ongoing review of the carrying values of our long-lived assets resulted in no impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Other income (expense): Other income and expense include fair value adjustments related to our derivative financial instruments, interest expense and income, extinguishments and impairments. Our analysis of the material components of changes in the other income (expense) section of the statement of operations are as follows:

 
37

 
 
Interest and other income: Interest and other income (expense) net results from interest on deposits and other short-term investment and other non-operating expenses. Our interest and other income increased $111,873 or 95%, to $230,216 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $118,343 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase is due to higher average balances and focused treasury management. In addition, a settlement charge of $116,000 and an asset recovery of $41,000 is included in this balance.

Interest expense: Interest expense arises from our mortgage note and note payable. Interest expense increased $125,804 or 126% to $225,607 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $99,803 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Interest expense increased due to higher average balances resulting from the HSE acquisition and balances associated with our accounts receivable financing arrangement discussed below in Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Derivative income (expense): Our derivative income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 amounted to $14,753,288 and resulted from fair value changes. On December 17, 2010, certain modifications were made to our investor warrants and convertible preferred stock that resulted in reclassification of the derivative liabilities to stockholders’ equity. We may enter into other financing arrangements that may give rise to derivative liabilities although no such arrangements are being considered at this time.

(Loss) income from continuing operations – We have reported a loss from continuing operations of $5,376,431 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to income of $5,717,358 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The change is reflected in the preceding discussion.

Loss from operations of discontinued segments – During the prior year we discontinued and disposed of all holdings in the Fashion Goods and eCommerce Segments. Operating activities of the discontinued segments are presented as one-line captions in our consolidated statements of operations. Since our disposals were completed by the end of the prior quarterly period, there are no discontinued operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The composition of the operations of the discontinued segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 is as follows:

Net (loss) income – We have reported a net loss of $5,350,979 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to a net loss of $19,380,255 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The change is reflected in the preceding discussion.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $1,371,401 as of September 30, 2011 compared to $1,746,510 at December 31, 2010. We have working capital of $2,488,456 as of September 30, 2011 and we had working capital of $2,088,260 at December 31, 2010. Our working capital increase as a result of additional financing proceeds during the period that was partially offset by an increase in accounts payable.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities – We used cash of $5,652,817 and $4,810,675 in our operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded net losses attributable to Infusion Brands, Inc. (“Infusion Brands”) of $5,376,431, which included non-cash charges of $535,465. Of the non-cash charges $570,519 related to share-based payment; ($244,113) related to the bargain purchase gain we recorded related to HSE; $191,019 related to depreciation expense; and $18,040 related to bad debts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded net loss attributable to Infusion Brands of $19,579,341, which included net non-cash credits and charges of $13,810,557. The non-cash credits consisted of derivative income of $14,753,288 and amortization of deferred revenue of $403,030. These credits were offset by non-cash charges for impairments of assets and investments of $22,972,854 and $1,998,492, respectively. Amortization of intangibles amounted to $1,150,958 and share-based payment amounted to $654,839 among the remaining non-cash charges.

Our cash from operating activities also includes sources and (uses) of cash flow from changes in our operating assets and liabilities of $(811,851) and $958,109 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in the use of cash relates primarily to the payment of accounts payable with the proceeds from our financings during the period.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities – We used cash of $110,678 and $286,234 in our investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Cash was used to purchase office equipment and make improvements to our building during each period. Cash of $57,298 was also used to acquire HSE during the period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we also made $84,280 in investments that were subsequently written off.

We have no commitments for the purchase of property and equipment or other long lived assets.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities – We obtained net $5,415,475 in cash from our financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. We generated proceeds of $3,000,000 from the sale of Series G Preferred Stock and Warrants. We generated an additional $2,500,000 of advances on the impending sale of Series G Preferred Stock and Warrants. As more fully discussed below, we received $3,500,000 in advances on the impending sale of Series G Preferred Stock and Warrants subsequent to the close of the quarterly period. Other cash uses in our financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included the payment of principle on our mortgage note.

Series G Convertible Preferred Stock Redemption Requirements — On June 30, 2010 and July 8, 2011, we sold 5,000,000 and 3,000,000 shares, respectively, of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock. The outstanding 8,000,000 shares of Series G Preferred are mandatorily redeemable for cash of $80,960,000, which is payable on June 30, 2013 as follows:
 
 
39

 

 
 
·
The stated value of $8,000,000 is payable on June 30, 2013.
 
·
An additional dividend equal to $1.00 per share of Series G Preferred was payable on June 30, 2011 if the special preferred distribution discussed in the next bullet point has not been paid before that date (aggregate redemption value $8,000,000). The investor waived payment of this additional dividend on the payment date, but it will continue to accrue as provided in the certificate of designation at a rate of 8.0%.
 
·
A special preferred distribution equal to $8.12 per share of Series G Preferred is payable on June 30, 2013 or earlier at our option (aggregate redemption value of $64,960,000). This special preferred distribution could have been reduced by the amount of the additional dividend discussed in the preceding bullet point if the additional dividend was paid on the June 30, 2011.

Quarterly and annual regular dividend requirements are $192,000 and $640,000, respectively, while the Series G Preferred Stock is outstanding. These dividends are payable quarterly irrespective of declaration by our Board.

During the current period, we entered into oral agreements with a certain accredited investor to sell the Investor, subject to the filing of an amendment to the Certificate of Designation of our Series G Convertible Stock, 2,500,000 shares of our Series G Preferred Stock and Series G Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of the common stock. The purchase price of $2,500,000 was received from the Investor in the form of advances subject to completion of the sales documents.
 
On October 20, 2011, we entered into an oral agreement with the Investor to sell the Investor an additional 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock and Warrants to purchase an additional 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), which such funds were received from the Investor on October 20, 2011.

On January 28, 2011, we entered into an accounts receivable sales and financing arrangement that provides for the assignment and sale of certain qualified accounts receivable to a financial institution. The facility provides for cash advances in amounts of 75% of qualified accounts receivable balances assigned up to an amount of $1,000,000. The financial institution receives an initial discount of 1.75% of the net realizable value of the qualified receivable. Subsequently, the lender receives an additional 1.0% discount for each 15 day period that the qualified receivable has not been collected. Further, the lender has a secured priority interest in certain accounts receivable and inventories that are specific to the direct-response marketing campaigns that they finance. This arrangement does not qualify for sales accounting under current accounting standards and is, therefore, subject to accounting as a financing arrangement wherein we will carry the assigned receivables in our accounts until they are settled and advances that we receive from the lender will be reflected as liabilities. The discounts will be classified as interest expense. There was $68,962 outstanding under this arrangement as of September 30, 2011.  We carry these advances in the accounts receivable classification of our balance sheet.

 
40

 
 
On March 2, 2011, we entered into a media funding arrangement with financial institution that provides for the financing of certain of our defined media and marketing material expenditures. The borrowing facility does not have a stated maximum, although borrowings are limited to certain defined account receivable levels. The facility has an initial term of one year with consecutive one year renewal terms unless terminated by either party. It provides for fees to the lender equal to 2.5% of the qualified amounts paid plus deferred payment arrangements that provide for interest at an approximate rate of 8.7% per annum. The creditor has a first creditor’s secured priority interest in the accounts receivable that they finance. As of September 30, 2011, no balances were outstanding under this facility. We carry media funding advances in the accounts payable and accrued liabilities classification in our balance sheet.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to reserves, deferred tax assets and valuation allowance, impairment of long-lived assets, fair value of our financial instruments and equity instruments. 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 the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates, including those for the above-described items, are reasonable.

While all of our accounting policies impact the consolidated financial statements, certain policies are viewed to be critical. Critical accounting policies are those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most subjective or complex judgments and estimates. Management believes the policies that fall within this category are the policies on revenue recognition and accounts receivable and other intangible assets, investments, financial and derivative instruments.

Revenue recognition – Revenue is recognized when evidence of the arrangement exists, the product is shipped to a customer, or in the limited circumstances, at destination, when terms provide that title passes at destination, the fee for the service is fixed or determinable and when we have concluded that amounts are collectible from the customers. Estimated amounts for sales returns and allowances are recorded at the time of sale. Shipping costs billed to customers are included as a component of product sales. The associated cost of shipping is included as a component of cost of product sales.

Accounts receivable – Accounts receivable represents normal trade obligations from customers that are subject to normal trade collection terms, without discounts or rebates. Notwithstanding these collections, we periodically evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable and consider the need to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon our historical collection experience and specifically identifiable information about our customers.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks.

The information required by this item does not apply to smaller reporting companies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness, as of September 30 2011, of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of September 30, 2011 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
