CIRTRAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CirTran Corporation and its subsidiaries.  These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or “Commission”).  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.  In particular, the Company’s significant accounting policies were presented as Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in that Annual Report.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and consist of only normal recurring adjustments.  The results of operations presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the twelve months ending December 31, 2012.

NOTE 2 - REALIZATION OF ASSETS

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.  The Company had a net loss of $1,288,096 and of $8,609,792 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  As of March 31, 2012, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $49,401,302.  In addition, the Company provided cash from operations in the amount of $27,342 and used cash in operations in the amount of $35,343 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company also had a negative working capital balance of $26,789,789 as of March 31, 2012, and $25,540,389 as of December 31, 2011.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s ability to continue energy drink distribution, its principal source of revenue, is subject to interruption or termination because of PlayBev’s ongoing Chapter 11 reorganization proceedings and disputes respecting the status of the PlayBev license to market Playboy-licensed energy drinks. Playboy sought in PlayBev’s Chapter 11 reorganization proceedings to terminate PlayBev’s license to market Playboy-licensed energy drinks, but in March 2012, extended the licensing agreement through July 31, 2012, to allow PlayBev and Playboy to negotiate a potential new licensing agreement.  The Company cannot assure that Playboy’s current willingness to discuss a possible settlement rather than aggressively pursue a judicial determination will continue.  If the Playboy licensing dispute is not resolved satisfactorily through a negotiated settlement or litigation in such proceeding, PlayBev would be required to terminate its beverage distribution activities, which are currently the source of the Company’s principal revenues.  Such termination may require the Company to cease its activities and seek protection from creditors.

In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraphs, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis, to maintain or replace present financing, to acquire additional capital from investors, and to succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. 
 
The Company feels that its beverage business segment has the potential to have a substantial impact on its overall business. The Company plans to focus on the beverage business and the contract manufacturing business. For the beverage business, the Company plans to sell existing products and develop new products under the license agreement with Playboy to a globally expanding market. With regard to contract manufacturing, the Company goal is to provide customers with manufacturing solutions for both new and more mature products, as well as across product generations.
 
The Company provides product marketing services to the direct response and retail markets for both proprietary and non-proprietary products. This segment provides campaign management and marketing services for the Direct Response, Retail and Beverage Distribution markets. The Company intends to continue to provide marketing and media services to support its own product efforts, and offer to customers marketing service in channels involving television, radio, print media, and the internet.
 
With respect to electronics assembly and manufacturing, the Company intends to serve these industries, although it anticipates that its focus will shift more to providing services on a subcontract basis.

NOTE 4 – RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transactions Involving Officers, Directors, and Stockholders

In 2007, the Company appointed Fadi Nora to its Board of Directors.  In addition to compensation the Company normally pays to nonemployee members of the Board, Mr. Nora is entitled to a quarterly bonus equal to 0.5% of any gross sales earned by the Company directly through Mr. Nora’s efforts.  As of March 31, 2012, the Company owed $54,453 under this arrangement.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012, Mr. Nora received cash payments totaling $99,000 in payment of unsecured advances.  As of March 31, 2012, the Company still owed Mr. Nora $1,200,829 in the form of unsecured advances.  These advances and short-term bridge loans were approved by the Board of Directors under a 5% borrowing fee.  The borrowing fees were waived by Mr. Nora on these loans.  In addition, the Company owed Mr. Nora $1,138,756 in accrued liabilities as of March 31, 2012, for selling, general, and administrative expenses that were paid for by Mr. Nora on a personal credit card.

The Company has agreed to issue 2,400,000 options to Mr. Nora as compensation for services provided as a director of the company.  The terms of the director agreement requires the Company to grant to Mr. Nora options to purchase 2,400,000 shares of the Company’s stock each year, with the exercise price of the options being the market price of the Company’s common stock as of the grant date.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company accrued for 2,400,000 stock options relating to the director agreement with Mr. Nora.  The fair market value of the options was $2,341, using the following assumptions: 2.5-year term, estimated volatility of 200.04% and a discount rate of 0.34% (see also Note 10).

In 2007, the Company issued a 10% promissory note to a family member of the Company president in exchange for $300,000.  The note was due on demand after May 2008.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company made no payments towards the outstanding note.  At March 31, 2012, the principal amount owing on the note was $151,833.  On March 31, 2008, the Company issued to this same family member, along with four other Company shareholders, promissory notes totaling $315,000.  The family member’s note was for $105,000.  Under the terms of all the notes, the Company received total proceeds of $300,000, and agreed to repay the amount received plus a five percent borrowing fee.  The notes were due April 30, 2008, after which they were due on demand, with interest accruing at 12% per annum.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company made no payments towards the outstanding notes.  The principal balance owing on the promissory notes as of March 31, 2012, totaled $72,465.

On April 2, 2009, the Company President and a Director of the Company borrowed from a third party a total of $890,000 in the form of four short-term promissory notes.  The Company President and the Director of the Company signed personally for the notes.  Because the loans were used to pay obligations of the Company, the Company has assumed full responsibility for the notes.  Two of the notes were for a term of 60 days, with a 60 day grace period; a third note was for a term of 90 days, and a fourth note was for 24 days.  Loan fees totaling $103,418 were incurred with the issuance of the notes and are payable upon maturity of the notes.  At March 31, 2012, the Company showed the balance of $681,912 as part of short-term advances payable on the balance sheet.  As of March 31, 2012, all four notes were in default and are accruing interest at the default rate of 36% per year.

The Company has agreed to issue 6,000,000 options each year to the Company President as compensation for services provided as an officer of the Company.  The terms of the employment agreement requires the Company to grant to the Company President options to purchase 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s stock each year, with the exercise price of the options being the market price of the Company’s common stock as of the grant date.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company accrued for 6,000,000 stock options relating to the employee agreement with Mr. Hawatmeh.  The fair market value of the options was $5,852, using the following assumptions: estimated 2.5-year term, estimated volatility of 200.04% and a discount rate of 0.34% (see also Note 10).

As of March 31, 2012, the Company owed the Company president a total of $180,102 in short-term advances payable, and $154,537 in accrued options.  These advances and short-term bridge loans were approved by the Board of Directors under a 5% borrowing fee.  The borrowing fees were waived by the Company’s president on these loans.

On March 5, 2010, the Company entered into a Separation Agreement (“Agreement”) with Shaher Hawatmeh.  As of the date of the Agreement, Shaher Hawatmeh’s employment with the Company was terminated and he no longer had any further employment obligations with the Company. The Company recorded $0 and $40,385 of compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, under the terms of the settlement agreement, respectively.

Sublease

In an effort to operate more efficiently and focus resources on higher margin areas of the Company’s business, on March 5, 2010, the Company and Katana Electronics, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“Katana”) entered into certain agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”) to reduce the Company’s costs.  The Agreements include an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, an Equipment Lease, and a Sublease Agreement relating to the Company’s property.  Pursuant to the terms of the Sublease, the Company agreed to sublease a certain portion of the Company’s Premises to Katana, consisting of the warehouse and office space used as of the close of business on March 4, 2010.  The term of the Sublease is for two (2) months with automatic renewal periods of one month each.  The base rent under the Sublease is $8,500 per month.  The Sublease contains normal and customary use restrictions, indemnification rights and obligations, default provisions and termination rights.  Under Agreements signed, the Company continues to have rights to operate as a contract manufacturer in the future in the US and offshore.  The income from the sublease to Katana for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $28,500 and was recognized as other income.  On July 1, 2011, Katana had assumed the full lease payment and the Company agreed to pay Katana $5,000 per month for the use of office space and utilities. The Company recorded a rent expense of $15,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation and Claims - Various vendors and service providers have notified the Company that they believe they have claims against the Company totaling approximately $2,250,000.  The Company has determined the probability of realizing any loss on these claims is remote.  The Company is currently in the process of negotiating the dismissal of these claims.

PlayBev Petition for Relief under Chapter 11 - On, August 12, 2011, Play Beverages, LLC, (“PlayBev”), a consolidated entity of the Company, filed petitions under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Utah.  Under Chapter 11, certain claims against PlayBev in existence before the filing of the petitions for relief under the federal bankruptcy laws are stayed while PlayBev continues business operations as Debtor-in-possession.  These claims are included in the March 31, 2012 balance sheet and are considered liabilities subject to compromise.  Additional claims (liabilities subject to compromise) may arise after the filing date resulting from rejection of executory contracts, and from the determination by the court (or agreed to by parties in interest) of allowed claims for contingencies and other disputed amounts.  Claims against PlayBev (secured claims) are stayed, although the holders of such claims have the right to move the court for relief from the stay. PlayBev is now a debtor-in-possession and intends to propose and confirm a plan of reorganization in the case.

PlayBev continues to negotiate with its creditors and is formulating a plan of reorganization.  PlayBev also continues to negotiate with Playboy Enterprises International, Inc. regarding a new license agreement.  Recently, PlayBev entered into a stipulation with Playboy to suspend all litigation between the parties while they explore the possibility of a mutually beneficial settlement of their disputes.

Registration Rights Agreements - In connection with the Company’s issuance of convertible debentures to YA Global Investments, L.P., formerly known as Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. (“YA Global”), the Company granted to YA Global certain registration rights, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file, a registration statements to register the resale of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures.  The Company agreed to keep the registration statement effective until all of the shares issuable upon conversion of the debenture have been sold.  The Company has not accrued a liability for potential losses.

Previously, YA Global has agreed to extensions of the filing deadlines inherent in the terms of the convertible debentures mentioned above.  On January 24, 2011, the Company and YA Global entered into a forbearance agreement related to the convertible debentures issued by the Company to YA or its predecessor entities.

YA Global Forbearance Agreements - On June 25, 2010, YA Global filed a lawsuit against the Company asserting claims for breach of contract, breaches of the uniform commercial code, and replevin.  YA Global sought a judgment in the amount of $4,193,380, plus interest and attorneys fees, as well as a writ of replevin to compel the Company to turn over equipment and other property that YA Global claims was pledged as collateral to secure obligations owing to YA Global.

On January 24, 2011, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with YA Global, including a confession of judgment in its favor.  On February 23, 2011, the court entered judgment based on the confession of judgment against the Company in the principal amount of $3,161,355, plus interest of $825,858.

On July 22, 2011, YA Global filed a motion in the ABS lawsuit (discussed below) seeking an order clarifying its position with respect to ABS and staying enforcement of that court’s order that the Company pay approximately $35,000 in legal fees to ABS.  In its motion, YA Global notified the Company that it intended to conduct a secured party’s public auction of all of the Company’s assets.  YA Global also informed the Company that it had defaulted under the January 2011 Forbearance Agreement and declared that all of the Company’s obligations to YA Global were immediately due and owing.  Further, YA Global stated that it intended to commence action to collect on the Company’s obligations and instructed it to assemble its assets.

At a hearing held on August 3, 2011, in the ABS reorganization proceeding on YA Global’s motion to stay enforcement, YA Global noted that the date of the proposed secured party’s public auction was August 30, 2011.  At the same time, YA Global notified the Company that the proposed sale of assets would be held on August 30, 2011.

At the hearing in the ABS matter, the Bankruptcy Court denied YA Global’s motion to stay the payment of attorneys’ fees by the Company.  Subsequently, the parties to the January 2011 settlement with YA Global entered into an agreement whereby YA Global agreed to cancel the proposed asset sale without waiver.

On September 30, 2011, YA Global directed the Company to assemble the collateral in order to enable it to take possession on or before October 6, 2011.  Following negotiations with YA Global, the Company confirmed its indebtedness to YA Global and arranged for it to take possession of collateral on October 17, 2011, on which date, all accounts receivable, collections, and other proceeds and products of the collateral would be held in trust by the Company for YA Global and immediately forwarded to it.  Before the Company was required to surrender possession of the collateral, it initiated negotiations to obtain YA Global’s forbearance from collection.

On March 22, 2012, the Company entered into a formal forbearance agreement with YA Global, dated as of March 1, 2012 (the “2012 YA Forbearance Agreement”) in which it ratified its previous obligations under the debentures and agreed to pay the debentures under the following payment plan: $25,000 at signing the 2012 YA Forbearance Agreement, $25,000 per month in March through June 2012, $50,000 per month in July through September 2012, $75,000 in the months of September and October 2012, $100,000 per month in the months of December 2012 through May 2013, $125,000 per month in the months of June through December 2013, and the balance in December 2014 (the “Termination Date”). In addition to the above minimum payments to YA Global, the Company is required to pay monthly excess cash flow, to the extent cumulatively available, consisting of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, less cash deposits for product orders received but not yet shipped, actual cash taxes paid, actual cash principal and interest paid, and reasonable out-of-pocket cash paid together with reasonable cash reserves in an amount not to exceed 5% of total net sales, provided that such excess cash flow payments shall not to exceed $50,000 in March 2012 and $25,000 per month in April through September 2012.

The Company continues to have the right, subject to the consent of YA Global, to pay all or any portion of the payments listed above in common stock, with the conversion price to be used to determine the number of shares being equal to the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s common stock during the 20 trading days prior to the payment date.  The amount applied as a payment on the note and accrued interest will be adjusted to the value of the actual proceeds from the sale of the stock by YA Global, less costs associated with the sale.

YA Global agreed to forbear from enforcing its rights and remedies as a result of the existing defaults and/or converting the debentures into shares of the Company’s common stock, until the earlier of the Company’s default under the 2012 YA Forbearance Agreement or the Termination Date.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company paid $50,000 towards the required payments. As of the date of this filing it had made the required payment through the month of April.

Delinquent payroll taxes, interest and penalties- In November 2004, the IRS accepted the Company's Amended Offer in Compromise (the "Offer") to settle delinquent payroll taxes, interest and penalties. The acceptance of the Offer required the Company to pay $500,000. Additionally, the Offer required the Company to remain current in its payment of taxes for five years, and not claim any net operating losses for the years 2001 through 2015, or until the Company pays taxes on future profits in an amount equal to the taxes waived by the Offer of $1,455,767. The Company has defaulted on the original agreement and is currently working with the IRS to pay the 2009 tax liabilities. The Company is also not current on its payroll taxes as of May 21, 2012 and is working with the IRS to pay these liabilities.

The Company is in disagreement with its former legal counsel over charges incurred and the amount due to this provider for billed services, charges and interest expense. The Company is currently working with this provider to settle the outstanding balance. If the Company is not able to settle the outstanding balance it is possible that it may need to accrue an additional $267,000 in addition to the balance accrued as of March 31, 2012.
 
Employment Agreements - On August 1, 2009, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Hawatmeh, the Company’s President. The term of the employment agreement continues until August 31, 2014, and automatically extends for successive one-year periods, with an annual base salary of $345,000. The employment agreement also grants to Mr. Hawatmeh options to purchase a minimum of 6,000,000 shares of the Company's stock each year, with the exercise price of the options being the market price of the Company's common stock as of the grant date. The Employment Agreement also provides for health insurance coverage, cell phone, car allowance, life insurance, and director and officer liability insurance, as well as any other bonus approved by the Board. The employment agreement includes additional incentive compensation as follows: a quarterly bonus equal to 5% of the Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the applicable quarter; bonus(es) equal to 1.0% of the net purchase price of any acquisitions completed by the Company that are directly generated and arranged by Mr. Hawatmeh; and an annual bonus (payable quarterly) equal to 1% of the gross sales, net of returns and allowances of all beverage products of the Company and its affiliates for the most recent fiscal year. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company incurred $5,852 and $11,868, respectively of non-cash compensation expense related to accrual for employee stock options to be awarded per the employment contract with the president of the Company.

Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Hawatmeh's employment may be terminated for cause, or upon death or disability, in which event the Company is required to pay Mr. Hawatmeh any unpaid base salary and unpaid earned bonuses. In the event that Mr. Hawatmeh is terminated without cause, the Company is required to pay to Mr. Hawatmeh (i) within 30 days following such termination, any benefit, incentive or equity plan, program or practice (the "Accrued Obligations") paid when the bonus would have been paid Employee if employed; (ii) within 30 days following such termination (or on the earliest later date as may be required by Internal Revenue Code Section 409A to the extent applicable), a lump sum equal to 30 month's annual base salary, (iii) bonus(es) owing under the employment agreement for the two-year period after the date of termination (net of an bonus amounts paid as Accrued Obligations) based on actual results for the applicable quarters and fiscal years; and (iv) within 12 months following such termination (or on the earliest later date as may be required by Internal Revenue Code Section 409A to the extent applicable), a lump sum equal to 30 month's annual base salary; provided that if Mr. Hawatmeh is terminated without cause in contemplation of, or within one year, after a change in control, then two times such annual base salary and bonus payment amounts.
 
On May 1, 2009, PlayBev, a consolidated variable interest entity, entered into compensation agreements with its managers, Mr. Hawatmeh and Mr. Nora. The agreed compensation consists of a monthly fee of $10,000 for each manager, reimbursement of reasonable expenses on its behalf, a car allowance for Mr. Nora of $1,000 per month to cover the cost of use, fuel and repairs. The Company has accrued $735,000 in compensation, which is included in related-party payables as of March 31, 2012.

Advanced Beauty Solutions, LLC - In connection with prior litigation with Advanced Beauty Solutions, or ABS, it claimed nonperformance by the Company and filed an adversary proceeding in its bankruptcy case proceeding in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California, San Fernando Valley Division.  On March 17, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court entered judgment in favor of ABS and against the Company in the amount of $1,811,667, plus interest.  On September 11, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court denied the Company’s motion to set aside the judgment.

On September 8, 2010, the Company executed an Assignment of Copyrights, thereby assigning Copyright Registration No. TX-6-064-955, Copyright Registration No. TX-6-064-956, and Copyright to the True Ceramic Pro - Live Ops (TCPS) infomercial and related master tapes (collectively the “Copyrights”) to ABS, without reservation or exclusion, making ABS the owner of the Copyrights.

On February 23, 2011, the Company filed a Motion to Declare Judgment Fully Satisfied or Alternatively to Recoup Mutual Debts, requesting that the court determine that its assignment of the Copyrights resulted in full satisfaction of the ABS judgment.  On March 3, 2011, ABS brought a Motion for Order to Show Cause re Civil Contempt alleging that the Company had failed to make payments on ABS’s judgment in violation of the court’s orders.  At the hearing on April 6, 2011, the court denied the motion to declare the judgment fully satisfied and granted ABS’s motion, but did not hold the Company in civil contempt.  The court also set a hearing on the ABS motion for the order to show cause for July 8, 2011, regarding the Company’s compliance with collection orders, which the parties stipulated should be postponed until August 3, 2011.  The parties attended mediation on July 11, 2011, but no formal settlement resulted.  At the hearing in August, the court found that a basis existed to hold the Company in contempt and set an evidentiary hearing for October 6, 2011, to determine whether to issue a contempt citation.  The Company appealed the denial of the motion to declare judgment satisfied.

On March 22, 2012 the Company and ABS entered into a formal forbearance agreement, dated as of March 1, 2012 (the “ABS Forbearance Agreement”), whereby ABS agreed to take no further judgment enforcement actions in consideration of the payment of $25,000 upon execution of the definitive ABS Forbearance Agreement and satisfaction of applicable conditions precedent.  The ABS Forbearance Agreement calls for the Company to pay $7,500 per month for 46 consecutive months (except for a payment of $15,000 in December 2012), commencing in March 2012, with the unpaid balance, as finally determined as provided below, due and payable in January 2016.  No interest on the principal would accrue unless the note is in default, in which case, it would bear interest at 10% per annum from the date of the ABS Forbearance Agreement.  In addition, the Company stipulated to an additional judgment for attorney’s fees incurred in negotiating the ABS Forbearance Agreement and entering into the related definitive agreements and in related post-judgment collection efforts.  The obligation to pay $1,835,000 under the ABS Forbearance Agreement would be secured by an encumbrance on all of the Company’s assets, subject to a prior lien and encumbrance in favor of YA Global.

The principal amount of $1,835,000 due under the ABS Forbearance Agreement would be reduced by the greater of the amount of credit granted in the bankruptcy proceedings for the value of the intellectual property the Company previously conveyed to ABS and the amount received by ABS from the sale of such intellectual property to a third party during the term of the ABS Forbearance Agreement, plus the amount of any distribution to which the Company is entitled as a creditor of ABS, provided, however, that in no event would the amount due under the ABS Forbearance Agreement be reduced below $90,000, which is the amount payable during the first 12 months under the ABS Forbearance Agreement.  ABS entered into a subordination agreement subordinating the obligation under the ABS Forbearance Agreement in favor of the obligations and first-priority security interest of YA Global.  The Company conveyed to ABS the trademarks and intellectual property previously conveyed by ABS to the Company.

The Company’s appeal of the approximately $1.8 million judgment has been remanded in the ABS bankruptcy proceedings to conclusively determine the amount of credit due the Company for the conveyance of the intellectual property.  Except for the determination of the fair market value of the intellectual property and any enforcement or collection proceedings that may be required under the ABS Forbearance Agreement, all litigation and disputes between ABS and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company and its affiliates, on the other hand, would be dismissed, including the pending order to show cause regarding contempt against the Company, its subsidiaries, and its President.

The Company has assigned to ABS its creditor claim against the estate of ABS, to the extent of the balance due under the ABS Forbearance Agreement.  Any distribution from the ABS estate in excess of the adjusted amounts due under the ABS Forbearance Agreement will be paid to the Company. Pending the determination of the amount of the credit due for the value of the intellectual property conveyed, the Company accrued a balance of $90,000 for the minimum required payment under the ABS Forbearance Agreement. It is reasonably possible that this estimate may change in the near future based on the events of the ABS settlement.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company paid $32,500 towards the required payments. As of the date of this filing it had made the required payment through the month of April.

NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE

The Company has estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives for warrants associated with debentures that do not have a convertible feature using the Black-Scholes Model as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The fair values of the derivative instruments are measured each quarter. As of March 31, 2012, and December 31, 2011, the fair market value of the derivatives aggregated $428,322 and $294,717, respectively.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Sales and Cost of Sales

Net sales decreased to $618,700 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $1,395,200 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease is primarily attributable to issues related to PlayBev’s bankruptcy case and the uncertainty created by Playboy in relation to the interference with our beverage distributors and defense against numerous lawsuits.  Additionally, disputes respecting the status of the PlayBev license to market Playboy-licensed energy drinks decreased revenues.

Cost of sales, including royalty expense, as a percentage of sales, increased to 122.7% from 53.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.  Consequently, the gross profit (loss) margin decreased to (22.7)% from 47%, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The decrease in gross profit margin is attributable to a decrease in revenues from royalty agreements which have an overall lower cost.

The following charts present comparisons of sales, cost of sales and gross profits generated by our four operating segments, i.e., Contract Manufacturing, Electronics Assembly, Marketing and Media and Beverage Distribution during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $333,669, as compared to the same period during 2011.  The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses was driven primarily by a decrease in marketing expenses of $71,628, a decrease of travel expenses of $97,544, and a decrease in accounting, legal and payroll expenses of $108,386.

Noncash Compensation Expense

Compensation expense in connection with accounting for options owed or granted to employees to purchase common stock was $19,897 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $98,759 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, as a result of the employee stock options accrued for per the respective employment agreements.

Other Income and Expense

Interest expense recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations combines both accretion expense and interest expense.  The combined interest expense for three months ended March 31, 2012, was $255,661 as compared to $271,790 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of 5.9%. The decrease in the combined interest expense was driven by the reduction in accretion expense recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

We recorded a loss of $133,605 on our derivative valuation for the three months ending March 31, 2012, as compared to a loss of $7,871,711 recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The swing in the derivative valuation is primarily the result of the change in estimating the fair value of convertible debentures and associated warrants from using the Black Scholes model to a Multinomial Lattis model, together with the varying market values of our common stock.

As a result of these factors, our overall net loss decreased to $1,288,096 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to a net loss of $8,609,792 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The net loss attributable to the Company was $1,134,126 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and a net loss of $153,970 was attributable to a noncontrolling equity interest in PlayBev.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have had a history of losses from operations, as our expenses have been greater than our revenues.  Our accumulated deficit was $49,401,302 at March 31, 2012, and $48,267,176 at December 31, 2011.  Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012, was $1,288,096 as compared to $8,609,792 for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  Our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $26,789,789 as of March 31, 2012, and by $25,540,389 as of December 31, 2011.

Cash

The amount of cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2012 decreased by $62,685, driven primarily by reduced expenses compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, increased $30,314 during the three months ended March 31, 2012.  We continue to monitor individual customer accounts and are working to improve collections on trade accounts receivable.  The company eliminates the receivables associated with PlayBev as part of consolidation in accordance with GAAP treatment as a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”).

Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, advances payable, interest payable and short-term debt increased by $1,030,334 to a combined balance of $16,615,611 as of March 31, 2012.  The increase includes an increase of $551,240 in accrued liabilities, a decrease of $98,000 in short-term debt, and an increase of $577,094 in accounts payable.  The increase in accounts payable activity is a result of continued PlayBev-related services performed during the year for beverage development, distribution, marketing, and legal services.  At March 31, 2012, we owed $3,702,263 to various investors from whom we had borrowed funds in the form of either unsecured or short-term advances.
 
Liquidity and Financing Arrangements

We have a history of substantial losses from operations, as well of history of using rather than providing cash in operations.  We had an accumulated deficit of $49,401,302 along with a total stockholders’ deficit of $17,706,849 at March 31, 2012.  We have provided cash from our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 of $27,342. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 we used $35,343 in cash in operations.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012, our monthly operating costs and interest expense averaged approximately $340,000 per month.

In conjunction with our efforts to improve our results of operations we are also actively seeking infusions of capital from investors, and are seeking sources to repay our existing convertible debentures.  In our current financial condition, it is unlikely that we will be able to obtain additional debt financing.  Even if we did acquire additional debt, we would be required to devote additional cash flow to servicing the debt and securing the debt with assets.  Accordingly, we are looking to obtain equity financing to meet our anticipated capital needs.  There can be no assurances that we will be successful in obtaining such capital.  If we issue additional shares for debt and/or equity, this will dilute the value of our common stock and existing shareholders’ positions.

There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining more debt and/or equity financing in the future or that our results of operations will materially improve in either the short or the long term.  If we fail to obtain such financing and improve our results of operations, we will be unable to meet our obligations as they become due.  Additionally, in light of the occurrence of one or more Events of Termination pursuant to the Amended and Restated Forbearance Agreement (discussed below), YA Global Investments has declared that its agreement to forbear enforcement of its rights under the Convertible Debentures has terminated, and accordingly, YA Global Investments has all rights of a secured creditor.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Convertible Debentures

2011 YA Forbearance Agreement

As of December 31, 2010, we had outstanding convertible debentures issued during previous periods to YA Global with an aggregate outstanding balance of $3,161,355, including accrued interest of $856,546, that were then in default.  In January 2011, we and YA Global entered into a forbearance agreement and related agreements (the “2011 YA Forbearance Agreement”).

In the 2011 YA Forbearance Agreement, we ratified our previous obligations under the debentures; provided the guaranty of our president, Iehab Hawatmeh, secured by one-half of his interest in PlayBev; provided a confession of judgment in litigation by YA Global against Katana, to whom we had transferred certain collateral pledged to YA Global, and issued a new warrant to purchase to purchase 25,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.02 per share, expiring December 2015. Additionally, we agreed to pay the debentures, $225,000 at signing the 2011 YA Forbearance Agreement ($75,000 to be applied to transaction costs), $75,000 per month for February through April 2011, $200,000 per month for May through December 2011, and the balance on December 31, 2011 (the “Termination Date”).

We had the right, subject to the consent of YA Global, to pay all or any portion of the payments listed above in common stock, with the conversion price to be used to determine the number of shares being equal to 85% of the lowest closing bid price of our common stock during the 10 trading days prior to the payment date.  The amount applied as a payment on the note and accrued interest will be adjusted to the value of the actual proceeds from the sale of the stock.

YA Global agreed to forbear from enforcing its rights and remedies as a result of the existing defaults and/or converting the debentures into shares of our common stock, until the earlier of our default under the 2011 YA Agreement or the Termination Date.

The summaries of the terms and conditions of the 2011 YA Forbearance Agreement and the other agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements, which are incorporated in this report.

Default and 2012 YA Forbearance Agreement

We made our required payments through March 1, 2011, as required under the 2011 YA Forbearance Agreement, but thereafter did not make additional payments.  Following such defaults, YA Global initiated steps to proceed to execute on, take possession of, and sell at auction all of our assets, which had been encumbered to secure our obligations under the debentures.  We negotiated extensions of such execution efforts while we also sought to negotiate another formal forbearance agreement with YA Global.

On March 22, 2012, we entered into a formal forbearance agreement with YA Global, dated as of March 1, 2012 (the “2012 YA Forbearance Agreement”) in which we ratified our previous obligations under the debentures and agreed to pay the debentures, $25,000 at signing the 2012 YA Forbearance Agreement, $25,000 per month in March through June 2012, $50,000 per month in July through September 2012, $75,000 in the months of October and November 2012, $100,000 per month in the months of December 2012 through May 2013, $125,000 per month in the months of June through December 2013, and the balance in December 2014 (the “Termination Date”). In addition to the above minimum payments to YA Global, we are required to pay monthly excess cash flow, to the extent cumulatively available, consisting of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, less cash deposits for product orders received but not yet shipped, actual cash taxes paid, actual cash principal and interest paid, and reasonable out-of-pocket cash paid together with reasonable cash reserves in an amount not to exceed 5% of total net sales, provided that such excess cash flow payments shall not exceed $50,000 in March 2012 and $25,000 per month in April 2012 and thereafter, until the balance is paid.

We continue to have the right, subject to the consent of YA Global, to pay all or any portion of the payments listed above in common stock, with the conversion price to be used to determine the number of shares being equal to the lowest closing bid price of our common stock during the 20 trading days prior to the payment date.  The amount applied as a payment on the note and accrued interest will be adjusted to the value of the actual proceeds from the sale of the stock.

YA Global agreed to forbear from enforcing its rights and remedies as a result of the existing defaults and/or converting the debentures into shares of our common stock, until the earlier of our default under the 2012 YA Forbearance Agreement or the Termination Date.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized when products are shipped.  Title passes to the customer or independent sales representative at the time of shipment.  Returns for defective items are repaired and sent back to the customer.  Historically, expenses associated with returns have not been significant and have been recognized as incurred.

Shipping and handling fees are included as part of net sales.  The related freight costs and supplies directly associated with shipping products to customers are included as a component of cost of goods sold.

We sold our Salt Lake City, Utah, building in a sale/leaseback transaction and reported the gain on the sale as deferred revenue to be recognized over the term of lease pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, 840-10, Accounting for Leases. The lease agreement was terminated during 2011 and the remainder of the deferred revenue was recognized upon this termination event.

We have entered into a Manufacturing, Marketing and Distribution Agreement with PlayBev, a consolidated variable interest entity, whereby we are the vendor of record in providing initial development, promotional, marketing, and distribution services marketing and distribution services.  Accordingly, all amounts billed to PlayBev in connection with the development and marketing of its new energy drink have been eliminated in consolidation.

Financial Instruments with Derivative Features - We do not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes.  However, we have financial instruments that are considered derivatives, or contain embedded features subject to derivative accounting.  Embedded derivatives are valued separate from the host instrument and are recognized as derivative liabilities in our balance sheet.  We measure these instruments at their estimated fair value, and recognize changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change.  We have estimated the fair value of these embedded derivatives using the Black-Scholes model.  The fair value of the derivative instruments are measured each quarter.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer / Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of March 31, 2012.  Based on our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer / Chief Financial Officer has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at March 31, 2012, due to the fact that the material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, had not been remediated as of March 31, 2012.

These weaknesses are continuing.  Management and the Board of Directors are aware of these weaknesses that result because of limited resources and staff.  Efforts to design and implement controls and processes have been put on hold due to limited resources, but we anticipate a renewed focus on this effort in the near future.  Due to our limited financial and managerial resources, we cannot assure when we will be able to implement effective internal controls over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the first quarter of 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
