Organic Alliance, Inc. and Subsidiary

 

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS

Organic Alliance, Inc. ("OAI" or the "Company") is a global grower and marketer of organic, Fair Trade and conventional fresh food products to the market place.  By establishing collaborative relationships with key growers, the Company has built a vertically integrated supply chain through an alliance of growers that enables it to support its customers with an increasing variety of certified sustainable products, sensible pricing, steady supply and inspiring multi-media stories from our many producing communities.

 

History - NB Design & Licensing, Inc., (“NB Design”) was organized in September 2001. The former parent, New Bridge Products, Inc., was originally incorporated in August 1995 as a manufacturer of minivans and filed a petition in bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Its Plan of Reorganization was approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona in September 2002 and NB Design was discharged from bankruptcy in October 2002. NB Design was inactive from October 2002 to April 29, 2008.

 

Organic Alliance Inc., a Texas corporation, (“Organic Texas”) was organized on February 19, 2008 to sell organically grown fruits and vegetables. During the second quarter of 2009, it ceased being a development stage company when it commenced its operations.

 

On April 29, 2008, NB Design, a Nevada corporation, acquired all 10,916,917 issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Organic Texas for 464,999 shares of the NB Design’s common stock. Organic Texas thereupon became a wholly owned subsidiary of NB Design. The business of Organic Texas is the only business of NB Design. The Company operates in California.

 

The acquisition of Organic Texas by NB Design on April 29, 2008 was accounted for as a reverse capitalization in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Division of Corporate Financial Reporting manual Topic 12 “Reverse Acquisition and Reverse Capitalization”. The reverse capitalization was the acquisition of a private operating company (Organic Texas) into a non-operating public shell corporation with nominal net assets and as such is treated as a capital transaction, rather than a business combination. As a result no goodwill is recorded. In this situation, NB Design is the legal acquirer because it issued its equity interests, and Organic Texas is the legal acquiree because its equity interests were acquired. However, NB Design is the acquiree and Organic Texas is the acquirer for accounting purposes. Organic Texas is treated as the continuing reporting entity that acquired the registrant, NB Design. The pre-acquisition financial statements of Organic Texas are treated as the historical financial statements of the consolidated companies.

 

On June 2, 2008, the name NB Design was changed to Organic Alliance, Inc. On August 29, 2008, the name of Organic Texas was changed to Organic Texas, Inc. All references throughout the annual report to “Organic Alliance, Inc.” or the “Company” refers to the combined operations for Organic Alliance, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Organic Texas.

 

During November 2010, the Company increased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 60 million shares to 2 billion shares.

 

On February 14, 2011, the Company executed a 20:1 reverse split and decreased the number of authorized shares of common stock from 2 billion shares to 100 million shares.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation - The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis of accounting, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) for interim financial information applicable for a going concern which assumes that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of the business and in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and article 10 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and disclosures included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

 

In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods presented.

 

F-4

 

 

 
 

 

 

The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. These financial statements and related footnotes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 18, 2012.

 

Use of Estimates - The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates that are particularly sensitive to change in the near term include but are not limited to, realization of deferred tax assets, allowance for doubtful accounts and assumptions used in share based payment transactions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Principles of Consolidation - The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Organic Alliance, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Organic Texas. Inc. (collectively, the "Company”). All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - An allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable is recorded based on a combination of aging analysis, past practices and any specific troubled accounts. The Company’s produce is sold to the Company’s customers for cash or on credit terms which are established in accordance with local and industry practices and typically require payment within 10 to 30 days of delivery. Accounts are written off when uncollectibility is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance account. The allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $0 and $77,968 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

 

In addition, the Company also factors its receivables with full recourse and, as a result, accounts for the factoring akin to a secured borrowing, maintaining the gross receivable asset and due to factor liability on its books and records. In connection with the factoring of its receivables, the Company estimates an allowance for factoring fees associated with the collections. These fees range from 3% to 5% depending on the actual timing of the collection. The actual recognition of such fees may differ from the estimates depending upon the timing of collections.

 

Inventory - Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market, and includes principally produce the Company purchases from growers and packaging materials. The Company held $122,839 and $0 of inventory as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated fair value as of the balance sheet date presented, because of the relatively short maturity dates on these instruments. The carrying amounts of the notes payable issued approximate fair value as of the balance sheet date presented, because interest rates and other terms on these instruments approximate terms currently available on similar instruments.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments - The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of the Company’s financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

 

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the conversion option and related warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreements and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. As a result of entering into the convertible notes, the Company is required to classify all other non-employee warrants as derivative liabilities and record them at their fair values at each balance sheet date. Any change in fair value was recorded as a change in the fair value of derivative liabilities for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

 

F-5

 

 

 
 

 

 

The fair value of conversion options at a fixed number of shares are recorded using the intrinsic value method and conversion options at variable rates and any options and warrants with ratchet provisions are deemed to be a “down-round protection” and therefore, do not meet the scope exception for treatment as a derivative under ASC 815. Since, “down-round protection” is not an input into the calculation of the fair value of the equity instruments and cannot be considered “indexed to the Company’s own stock” which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815. The Company determined the fair value of the Binomial Lattice Model and the Intrinsic Value Method to be materially the same. Warrants that have been reclassified to derivative liability that did not contain “down-round protection” were valued using the black-scholes model.

 

For the Black-Scholes pricing model, which approximates the binomial lattice model, the Company used the following assumptions and weighted average fair value ranges for the six months ended June 30:

 

 

      2012       2011  
Risk-free interest rate     0.09% - 0.72%       0.15% - 0.30%  
Dividend yield     N/A       N/A  
Expected volatility     31.6%-55.0%       32.7% – 37.2%  
Expected life in months and years     3 months - 48 months       9 months – 2 years  

 

 

For the binomial lattice options pricing model, the Company used the following assumptions and weighted average fair value ranges for the six months ended June 30:

 

 

      2012       2011  
Risk-free interest rate     0.08% - 0.72%       1.55%-2.00%  
Dividend yield     N/A       N/A  
Expected volatility     28.4%-55.0%       54.3% - 54.9%  
Expected life in months and years     3 months – 4.3 years       5 years  

 

 

Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recorded when (1) the customer accepts delivery of the product and title has been transferred and the Company has no significant obligations remaining to be performed; (2) a final understanding as to specific nature and terms of the agreed upon transaction has occurred; (3) price is fixed and (4) collection is reasonably assured.

 

Share Based Compensation - The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 718. For employees and directors, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete.

 

Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the option, and such assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate. The fair value of share-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model; separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

 

For the Black-Scholes pricing model, the Company used the following assumptions and weighted average fair value ranges for the six months ended June 30:

 

    2012   2011  
Risk-free interest rate   0.40% - 0.86%   2.37%
Dividend yield   N/A   N/A
Expected volatility   39.3% - 55.2%   54.5%
Expected life in years   2.5 - 5   5

Concentrations

 

  · Credit Risk - The Company maintains cash balances at various high quality federally insured financial institutions, with balances at times, in excess of federally insured limits. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s deposits are financially sound and therefore pose a minimum credit risk. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
  · Major customers - The Company has five and three major customers, which accounted for approximately 73% and 52% of the sales during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the total sales comprised of customer A 19%, customer B 17%, customer D 14%, customer C 12% and customer E 11% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011, comprised of customer H 29%, customer I 12% and customer J 11%. The Company has two and three major customers, which accounted for approximately 38% and 42% of sales during six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the total sales comprised of customer B 26% and customer A 12% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011, comprised of customer L 17%, customer H 15% and customer K 10%. The loss of any of these customers could adversely affect the Company's operations.
  · Major receivables - The Company has five major receivables at June 30, 2012 comprised of customer A 25%, customer C 24%, customer D 13%, customer F 10% and customer G 10% compared to four major receivables at June 30, 2011, comprised of customer M 23%, customer H 16%, customer J 15% and customer N 12%.
  · Major suppliers - The Company has three major suppliers, which accounted for approximately 74% and 84% of purchases during three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company has two and four major suppliers, which accounted for approximately 44% and 87% of purchases during six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The loss of any of these suppliers could adversely affect the Company's operations.

 

Net Loss Per Share - Basic loss per share was computed using the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. Diluted loss per share includes the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents from the assumed exercise of options, warrants and convertible notes. Common stock equivalents were excluded in the computation of diluted loss per share since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

In accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings per Share”, the Company has given effect to the issuance of 2,795,538 and 1,775,425 warrants as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, exercisable at $0.01. These warrants have been included in computing the basic net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. Additionally, included in the Company’s weighted average shares outstanding are 3,529,897 and 56,189 shares earned, but not issued as at June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Total common stock equivalents which were excluded since their inclusion would be anti-dilutive are those shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants, options and the conversion of convertible notes for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

 

    June 30,
    2012   2011
Options     4,058,750       33,750  
Warrants     6,141,602       1,600,890  
Convertible notes     5,194,529       3,167,560  
Total Common stock equivalents     15,394,881       4,802,200  

 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

This ASU addresses fair value measurement and disclosure requirements within Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820 for the purpose of providing consistency and common meaning between U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. Generally, this ASU is not intended to change the application of the requirements in Topic 820. Rather, this ASU primarily changes the wording to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This guidance improves the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and increases the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. The guidance provided by this update becomes effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

3. GOING CONCERN

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable for a going concern which assumes that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As of June 30, 2012, the Company has limited cash, a working capital deficit of approximately $8,419,000, has accumulated losses of approximately $17,720,000 since its inception and has withheld $192,300 of payroll tax liabilities from wages paid which have yet to be remitted to the taxing authorities and are delinquent. The Company is currently delinquent with its payroll tax filings since December 31, 2008, however, since April 1, 2012 the Company has been remitting payroll tax on a current basis. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due and increasing its revenue in order to achieve profitable operations. The Company estimates a $1,500,000 capital infusion will be required to continue operations through the next 12 months. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raises substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company intends to overcome the circumstances that impact its ability to remain a going concern through a combination of growing high margin revenues, with interim cash flow deficiencies being addressed through additional equity and debt financing. The Company anticipates raising additional funds through public or private financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements in the near future to support its business operations; however the Company does not have commitments from third parties for a sufficient amount of additional capital. The Company cannot be certain that any such financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and its failure to raise capital when needed could limit its ability to continue its operations. The Company’s ability to obtain additional funding will determine its ability to continue as a going concern. Furthermore, additional equity financing may be dilutive to the holders of the Company’s common stock, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, and strategic relationships, if necessary to raise additional funds, and may require that the Company relinquish valuable rights.

 

 

4. DUE TO FACTOR

 

On November 1, 2010 the Company entered into a new one year accounts receivable factoring facility with a financial services company with maximum borrowings of $1,800,000. The contract expired on October 31, 2011, and the Company is operating on a month to month basis, thereafter. The financial services company advances up to 80% of qualified customer invoices less applicable discount fee, and holds the remaining 20% as a reserve until the customer pays the financial services company. The released reserves are used to fund other vendor purchases or returned to the Company. The Company is charged 3% for the first 30 days outstanding plus 1/10 of 1% for funds outstanding over 30 days. Uncollectable customer invoices are charged back to the Company. The financial services company commenced funding during February 2011. At June 30, 2012 the advances from the factor inclusive of fees amounted to $215,680 which was offset against due from factor of $48,503. Advances from the factor are collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company.

 

5. PREFERRED STOCK

 

The Company’s articles of incorporation authorize the Company's Board of Directors to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, having no par value, in one or more series without stockholder approval. Each such series of preferred stock may have such number of shares, designations, preferences, voting powers, qualifications, and special or relative rights or privileges as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. At June 30, 2012 and December 31 2011, no shares of preferred stock were issued or outstanding.

In August 2010, the Company signed a one year consulting agreement with a consultant to provide investor and public relation services. The consultant’s compensation includes convertible preferred stock which, at the final determination date, will be converted into shares of common stock of the Company equivalent to 25% of outstanding common shares, as defined in the agreement. The consultant elected to receive the common stock equivalent directly as compensation. The Company calculated the fair value of the award to be $868,724 or 4,169,638 shares of common stock. The Company accrued $506,680 of stock based compensation for these services during the year ended December 31, 2011, which has been included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities. During March 2011, 695,930 shares of common stock valued at $173,982 were issued to the consultant for the settlement of a portion of the accrued compensation, the remaining 3,473,708 shares of common stock valued at $694,742. On June 30, 2012, the Company revalued the unissued 3,473,708 shares of common stock at $.315 per share according to the closing price from NASDAQ.com. The revaluation resulted in $399,854 recorded as an additional component of stock based compensation expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations The 3,473,708 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to the consultant on July 23, 2012.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASURES

 

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. As defined in ASC 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Standard clarifies that the exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell an asset or transfer a liability at the measurement date and emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement and not an entity-specific measurement.

 

ASC 820 establishes the following hierarchy used in fair value measurements and expands the required disclosures of assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

 

  · Level 1 – Inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

 

  · Level 2 – Inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets as well as other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

 

  · Level 3 – Inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset or liability.

 

In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.

 

The following table provides the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively:

    Fair Value Measurements
      Level 1       Level 2       Level 3       Total  
                                 
Derivative liabilities:

OVERVIEW

Overview

 

Organic Alliance, Inc. ("OAI" or the "Company") is a global grower and marketer of organic, Fair Trade and conventional fresh food products to the market place.  By establishing collaborative relationships with key growers, the Company has built a vertically integrated supply chain through an alliance of growers that enables it to support its customers with an increasing variety of certified sustainable products, sensible pricing, steady supply and inspiring multi-media stories from our many producing communities. Direct involvement in growing operations and an unparalleled international agriculture network allows the Company to develop new Organic and Fair Trade production and offer consistent supply with highly competitive pricing – the primary obstacles facing buyers in those fast growing segments. The Company also sources and distributes conventional produce (non-Organic and/or Fair Trade) using its high revenue potential to fuel development of Organic and Fair Trade production.

 

Beyond fresh produce, OAI applies its direct access to raw materials to create value-added consumer packaged goods and bulk products such as juices, oils, purees and dried fruit allowing a substantial cost and control edge over other large consumer packaged goods firms that rely on third parties for sourcing. Currently, the Company is focusing its sourcing and development strategy in Mexico, the U.S.’s largest food supplier with sales to the U.S. growing 25% in 2010 to $6 Billion. The focus there is the growing greenhouse agriculture industry (35% in 2010), which drastically reduces the risks of contract farming – particularly in organics. 1 This strategy will be rolled out in stages to key Latin American food exporting countries where OAI currently has strong grower and professional networks in Argentina, Chile, Peru, Dominican Republic and Costa Rica.

 

The primary segments for marketing the Company’s products are the mainstream supermarket channel, natural grocery chains, mass merchandisers, food service distributors, fresh produce processors, consumer package goods companies, and overseas markets focusing on grocery chains and their importer partners. The Company has strong food industry relationships and currently supply product to most of these market segments.

 

Organic Market

 

Globally, sales of organic products have grown rapidly since 2000, with food products driving the market. In particular, the United States has seen sales of organic foods grow from $6.1 billion in 2000 to $29.2 billion in 2011, up 9.4% from 2010. Registering a third straight year of double-digit gains, sales of organic fruits and vegetables rose 11.7% in 2011 to $11.8 billion. The principal barriers to organic product growth are short supply and inconsistent quality /pricing, which OAI directly addresses. 2

 

Organic certified foods are generally viewed as having a positive impact on one’s health and long-term viability, even though studies are mixed. As Helpguide.org describes, some studies suggest that, on average, organically grown fruits and vegetables may contain slightly higher levels of vitamin C, trace minerals, and antioxidant phytonutrients than conventionally grown produce. Other studies, however, have found no nutritional differences between organic and non-organic foods.

 

Aside from the nutritional aspect, there is a more important part of the growing process related to chemicals. In crops that are grown using chemicals (fungicides, herbicides, insecticides) to ensure growth, the chemicals often never leave the product after it leaves the farms and ends up on the store shelves. Studies have linked certain chemicals used in farming to cancer, obesity, Alzheimer’s and certain birth defects.3

Another advantage of organic foods is that they are often fresher, because they lack the preservatives that other foods often contain. In addition, organic farming practices reduce pollution in the air, water and soil, and use less energy than traditional non-organic farms.4 While these do not implicate or eliminate all non-organic foods, all things being equal, most would seek to consume organic foods for the benefits to the individual and to the earth.

 

Fair Trade

 

In addition to providing fresh, healthy foods, the Company is dedicated to the practice of Fair Trade. Global Fair Trade sales have followed the rise of organic at an 18% annual growth rate reaching a total of $4.8 billion in 2009. Mainstream retailers such as Wal-Mart and Whole Foods have demonstrated strong interest in the segment with each offering a growing number of Fair Trade products including retail-brand private label options. In 2007, Whole Foods launched its ‘Whole Trade’ initiative requiring 50% of its imported food to be certified as Fair Trade within 10 years. Fair Trade sales in U.S. mainstream grocery outlets grew 24% in 2010. Like organic, the principal barrier to growth is lack of supply and inconsistent quality and/or pricing, which OAI directly addresses.

 

Fair Trade certification offers producers the ability to trade directly with improved payment terms while paying workers dignified wages and providing a premium for community development. This allows marginalized agricultural communities the opportunity to improve their lives with technical training, better business infrastructure, improved schooling, health care and nutritious food. Fair Trade investment provides a platform from which communities can rise out of poverty, be economically sustainable and take control of their future while providing the market with better, more sustainable products. Fair Trade certified products offer consumers a powerful way to reduce poverty through their everyday shopping.5

 

The key objectives of the Fair Trade standards are to:

 

· Ensure that producers receive prices that cover their average costs of sustainable production;
· provide an additional Fair Trade premium which can be invested in projects that enhance social, economic and environmental development;

 

· ensure safe working conditions and dignified wages for agriculture workers;
· facilitate long-term trading partnerships and enable greater producer control over the trading process; and

 

· set clear minimum and progressive criteria to ensure that the conditions of production and trade of all Fair Trade certified products are socially, economically fair and environmentally responsible.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

Due to the continued increase in demand for certified organic and Fair Trade products, procurement departments are actively seeking additional sources. The challenge continues to be to attain a reliable, year round supply at sensible pricing for their buying programs, in part due to short supply and the fractionalized nature of the organic farm base. By taking control and developing organic and Fair Trade production at the seed level, OAI addresses these issues directly and attracts buyer favor by creating supply and price conditions that more closely resemble the conventional food alternative. While executing this strategy, OAI will continue using its operational infrastructure to sell high volumes of conventional produce to generate substantial resources for the execution of large-scale development in the organic and Fair Trade agriculture sectors.

 

OAI brand marketing leverages its direct relationships with growing communities to take advantage of the "know where your food comes from" consumer trend. This is supported by creating entertaining media that highlights the producer story; tracking sustainability metrics such as agrochemicals eliminated, wage increases and carbon emissions; and making these available to consumers online and at the point of purchase via the increasingly popular quick response ("QR") scan technology available on smart phones. The Company’s conversations with grocery executives indicate that the industry is hungry for point-of-purchase methods of communicating product information and promotional media. Additionally, Wal-Mart has developed and is implementing in phases its ‘Sustainability Index’ that will grade the level of sustainability of each of its supplier’s products with a label. OAI believes it is far ahead of these trends and well poised to address the emerging production and communication needs of the 21st century food industry.

 

The primary segments for marketing the Company’s products are the mainstream supermarket channel, natural grocery chains, mass merchandisers, food service distributors, fresh produce processors, consumer packaged goods companies, and overseas markets focusing on grocery chains and their importer partners.

History

 

NB Design & Licensing, Inc., (“NB Design”) was organized in September 2001. The former parent, New Bridge Products, Inc., was originally incorporated in August 1995 as a manufacturer of minivans and filed a petition in bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Its Plan of Reorganization was approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona in September 2002 and NB Design was discharged from bankruptcy in October 2002. NB Design was inactive from October 2002 to April 29, 2008.

 

Organic Alliance Inc., a Texas corporation, (“Organic Texas”) was organized on February 19, 2008 to sell organically grown fruits and vegetables. During the second quarter of 2009, it ceased being a development stage company when it commenced its operations.

 

On April 29, 2008, NB Design, a Nevada corporation, acquired all 10,916,917 issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Organic Texas for 464,999 shares of the NB Design’s shares of common stock. Organic Texas thereupon became a wholly owned subsidiary of NB Design. The business of Organic Texas is the only business of NB Design. The Company operates in California.

 

The acquisition of Organic Texas by NB Design on April 29, 2008 was accounted for as a reverse capitalization in accordance with the Security and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Division of Corporate Financial Reporting manual Topic 12 “Reverse Acquisition and Reverse Capitalization”. The reverse capitalization was the acquisition of a private operating company (Organic Texas) into a non-operating public shell corporation with nominal net assets and as such is treated as a capital transaction, rather than a business combination. As a result no goodwill is recorded. In this situation, NB Design is the legal acquirer because it issued its equity interests, and Organic Texas is the legal acquiree because its equity interests were acquired. However, NB Design is the acquiree and Organic Texas as the acquirer for accounting purposes. Organic Texas is treated as the continuing reporting entity that acquired the registrant, NB Design. The pre-acquisition financial statements of Organic Texas are treated as the historical financial statements of the consolidated companies. Pursuant to the Securities Exchange, NB Design issued 464,999 shares of the Company’s Common Stock for all of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of Organic Texas and assumed all assets and liabilities.

 

On June 2, 2008, the name NB Design was changed to Organic Alliance, Inc. On August 29, 2008, the name of Organic Texas was changed to Organic Texas, Inc.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

 

Use of Estimates - The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates that are particularly sensitive to change in the near term include but are not limited to, realization of deferred tax assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, derivative liabilities and assumptions used in share based payment transactions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Organic Alliance, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Organic Texas. Inc. (collectively, the "Company”). All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - An allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable is recorded based on a combination of aging analysis, past practices and any specific troubled accounts. The Company’s produce is sold to the Company’s customers for cash or on credit terms which are established in accordance with local and industry practices and typically require payment within 10 to 30 days of delivery. Accounts are written off when uncollectibility is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance account. The allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to $0 and $77,968 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

 

In addition, the Company also factors its receivables with full recourse and, as a result, accounts for the factoring akin to a secured borrowing, maintaining the gross receivable asset and due to factor liability on its books and records. In connection with the factoring of its receivables, the Company estimates an allowance for factoring fees associated with the collections. These fees range from 3% to 5% depending on the actual timing of the collection. The actual recognition of such fees may differ from the estimates depending upon the timing of collections.

 

Inventory - Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market, and includes principally produce the Company purchases from growers and packaging materials. The Company held $122,839 and $0 of inventory as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

 

Income Taxes - The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated fair value as of the balance sheet date presented, because of the relatively short maturity dates on these instruments. The carrying amounts of the notes payable issued approximate fair value as of the balance sheet date presented, because interest rates and other terms on these instruments approximate terms currently available on similar instruments.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments - The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of the Company’s financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

 

Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recorded when (1) the customer accepts delivery of the product and title has been transferred and the Company has no significant obligations remaining to be performed; (2) a final understanding as to specific nature and terms of the agreed upon transaction has occurred; (3) price is fixed and (4) collection is reasonably assured. Sales are presented net of discounts and allowances.

Share Based Compensation - The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 718. Share-based compensation expense for all share-based payment awards is based on the estimated grant-date fair value. The Company recognizes these compensation costs over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the option, and such assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate. The fair value of share-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company accounts for the expected life of options in accordance with the “simplified” method provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 110, which enables the use of the simplified method for “plain vanilla” share options as defined in SAB No. 107.

 

 

Results of Operations

 

Results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company had net sales of $630,294 compared to $130,402, for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The $499,892 increase is attributable to increased liquidity from our financial service company advancing 80% of qualified customer invoices to the Company and short term debt financing. Also contributing was the hiring of a director of national procurement sales and a director of national sale during April and May 2012.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, our cost of goods sold was $570,557 compared to $121,397 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, our gross margin was $59,737 or 9.5% of sales and $9,005 or 6.9% of sales, respectively. The increased gross margin is attributable to the higher net sales and more efficient purchasing practices.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company had general and administrative (G&A) expenses of $1,097,172 compared to $617,999 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in G&A expenses of $479,173, or 78%, primarily are attributable to increased payroll expense of approximately $189,000 from hiring new employees for our growing business, share based compensation costs of approximately $124,000 for higher executive, director and consulting compensation and increased professional fees of approximately $103,000 for higher accounting fees.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company’s operating loss was $1,037,435 compared to $608,994 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The $428,441, or 70%, increase is primarily related to higher G&A expenses discussed above.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, other expense was $2,296,630 compared to $255,990 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Included in other expense were the following items. Interest expense of $83,579 and $33,129 on notes and loans payable for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Amortization of discount on notes payable of $404,240 and $93,111 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Factor advance fees of $27,382 and $7,455 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and a $1,719,679 and $122,295 loss on change in fair value of derivative liability was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Also included in other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 are finance fees of $61,750 for the $475,000 sold under our agreement to sell secured promissory notes.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the net loss was $3,334,065, or $0.19, basic and diluted loss per share compared to $864,984, or $0.08, basic and diluted loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The $2,469,081 increase in net loss was primarily attributable to the increased other expense described above.

 

Results of operations for the Six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, net sales of $966,301 were recorded compared to $386,158 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The $580,143, or 150%, increase is attributable to increased liquidity from our financial service company advancing 80% of qualified customer invoices to the Company and short term debt financing. The new financial services company commenced funding during February 2011. Also contributing was the hiring of a director of national procurement sales and a director of national sales during April and May 2012.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, our cost of goods sold was $873,420 compared to $369,803 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

 

-7-

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, our gross margin was $92,881 or 9.6% of sales compared to a gross margin of $16,355 or 4.2% of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increased gross margin is attributable to the higher net sales and more efficient purchasing practices.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company had general and administrative (G&A) expenses of $1,554,014 compared to $1,693,467, for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in G&A expenses of $139,453, or 8%, is primarily attributable to decreased share based compensation costs of approximately $591,000 for lower executive, director and consulting compensation incurred during the period offset by increased payroll expense of approximately $274,000 from hiring new employees for our growing business and increased professional fees of approximately $113,000 for higher accounting fees.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, our operating loss was $1,461,133 compared to $1,677,112 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease was $215,979 or 13%.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, other expense was $2,803,765 compared to $360,862 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Included in other expense were the following items.

Amortization of discount on notes payable of $514,252 and $117,804 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Factor advance fees of $40,892 and $14,749, and a $1,997,944 and $162,867 loss on change in fair value of derivative liability was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Also included in the six months ended June 30, 2012 are finance fees of $114,250 for the $850,000 sold under our agreement to sell secured promissory notes.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, our net loss was $4,264,898, or $0.25, basic and diluted loss per share compared to $2,037,974, or $0.24, basic and diluted loss per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The $2,226,924 increase in net loss was primarily attributable to the factors described above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s operations to date have generated substantial losses that have been funded through the issuance of common stock and loans from related parties and others. The Company will require additional sources of outside capital to continue the Company’s operations. The Company expects that the Company’s primary source of cash in the future will be from the issuance of common stock, loans, accounts receivable factoring and a line of credit. On November 1, 2010, the Company signed a one year agreement with a financial services company for the purchase and sale of accounts receivables which expired on October 31, 2011. The agreement is continuing on a month to month basis. The financial services company advances up to 80% of qualified customer invoices less applicable discount fee, and holds the remaining 20% as a reserve until the customer pays the financial services company. The released reserves are used to fund other vendor purchases or returned to the Company. The Company is charged 3% for the first 30 days outstanding plus 1/10 of 1% for funds outstanding over 30 days. Uncollectable customer invoices are charged back to the Company. The financial services company commenced funding during February 2011. As of June 30, 2012, the Company has withheld $192,300 of payroll tax liabilities from wages paid which have yet to be remitted to the taxing authorities.

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable for a going concern which assumes that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As of June 30, 2012, the Company has limited cash, a working capital deficit of approximately $8,419,000 and has accumulated losses of approximately $17,720,000 since its inception.

 

Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and pay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due and increasing its revenue in order to achieve profitable operations. The Company estimates a $1,500,000 capital infusion will be required to continue operations through the next 12 months. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raises substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Generally, the Company primarily has financed operations to date through the proceeds of the private placement of equity securities and the issuance of promissory notes.

 

For the period from inception (February 19, 2008) to June 30, 2012, the Company received approximately $212,000 from the sale of our common stock and received proceeds from the notes payable of $3,193,543, of which $202,410 has been paid back and $822,134 has been converted to shares of the Company’s common stock as of June 30, 2012.

 

-8-

 

The Company has limited funding available for marketing and will rely solely on our ability to raise debt or equity funds in the immediate future.

 

Our contractual obligations consist of notes and loans payable in the amount of $2,369,440, including accrued interest of $200,442, for the notes at June 30, 2012.

 

On February 28, 2012, the Company issued a $50,000 convertible note to a related party. The loan bears interest at 21% and has a maturity date of the earlier of an event of default or August 28, 2012.

 

On March 2, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to sell secured promissory notes for an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000, with warrants to purchase 2.5 shares the Company’s common stock for each $1 of the principal amount of the notes purchased. In addition, the Company will issue to the investment banker, warrants for the purchase of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to 10% of the common stock issuable in conjunction with the promissory notes sold in this offering. As of August 14, a total of $850,000 has been raised by the offering.

 

Net Cash Flows

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, net cash used in operating activities was $1,103,497 compared to $746,011 for six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase of $357,486, or 48%, was primarily attributable by increases in account receivables on higher sales volume and decreases in accrued expense and payments of accounts payable from the proceeds provided from notes payable during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, net cash provided by financing activities was $1,102,090 compared to $745,212 for six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase of $356,878, or 48%, was related to proceeds from notes payable issued to third parties and related parties.

 

At June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, the Company had 4,058,750 and 33,750 stock options and 8,937,140 and 3,376,315 common stock purchase warrants outstanding. The outstanding stock options have a weighted average exercise price of $0.29 per share. The outstanding warrants have an exercise price from $0.001 to $0.25 per share. Accordingly, at June 30, 2012, the outstanding options and warrants represented a total of 12,995,889 shares issuable for a maximum of $2,224,626 if all of the options and warrants were exercised. The exercise of these options and warrants is at the discretion of the holder. There is no assurance that any of these options or any additional warrants will be exercised.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s management team, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), as of the last day of the fiscal period covered by this report, June 30, 2012. The term disclosure controls and procedures means the Company’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that the Company 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 us in the reports that the Company filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

The Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Management is required to base its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting on a suitable, recognized control framework, such as the framework developed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO). The COSO framework, published in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, is known as the COSO Report. The Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has chosen the COSO framework on which to base its assessment. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2012.

 

The controls designed were adequate for financial disclosures required for the preparation of the 10-Q filing; however due to lack of resources in the Company’s accounting department the controls were not operating effectively. The remediation plan for improving the effectiveness over financial disclosure controls, include the creation of a financial disclosures roll-forward model in accordance with the disclosures contained in the 10-Q report. This model will be maintained and updated by Company staff and management as new business transactions require additional financial disclosures. As the Company obtains additional resources these financial disclosures will be reviewed by an outside financial disclosure expert for completeness and accuracy earlier in the financial statement closing process cycle in order to help ensure completeness and accuracy for reporting financial disclosures. During October 2011, the Company hired Barry Brookstein as Chief Financial Officer to augment the Company’s internal controls procedures and expand the Company’s accounting staff.

 

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

 

Based on the evaluation of the Company’s management as required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the SEC Act of 1934 the Company believes that there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is, and in the future may be, subject to various disputes, claims, lawsuits, and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business with respect to commercial, product liability, employment, and other matters, which could involve substantial amounts of damages. In the opinion of management, any liability related to any such known proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may pursue litigation against third parties to enforce or protect our rights under our trademarks, trade secrets and our intellectual property rights generally.

Certification of Principal Executive Officer, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 1350,

as adopted pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
