UPLIFT NUTRITION, INC.
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at June 30, 2014, and for all periods presented herein, have been made.
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. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2013 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying 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. However, the Company has sustained losses of $1,595,973 from March 7, 2005 (inception) through June 30, 2014 including a loss of $14,861 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The Company has recognized minimal revenue during its developmental stage (from March 7, 2005 (inception) through June 30, 2014), which raises substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraph, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its current obligations on a continuing basis, to obtain 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 needs to obtain capital, either long-term debt or equity to continue the implementation of its overall business plan. The Company plans on pursuing the additional capital necessary to continue its overall business plan.
NOTE 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business and Basis of Presentation
Uplift Nutrition, Inc. (the Company), a Nevada corporation, is engaged in the business of manufacturing and distributing a nutritional supplement drink mix. The Companys operations are based in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Company has not generated significant revenue from planned principal operations and is considered a development stage company as defined in FASB ASC 915-10. The Company has, at the present time, not paid any dividends and any dividends that may be paid in the future will depend upon the financial requirements of the Company and other relevant factors.
On June 2, 2006, the Company completed an acquisition with Nu Mineral Health, LLC (NMH), a Wyoming limited liability company organized on March 7, 2005 and engaged in the nutritional supplement and nutrition business. The acquisition was effected by the Company issuing 20,000,000 common stock shares to acquire all of the membership interests, accompanying assets and intellectual property of NMH. The merger was accounted for as a recapitalization of NMH with NMH being the accounting survivor and the operating entity. The accompanying financial statements reflect the operations of NMH, for all periods presented and the equity has been restated to reflect the 20,000,000 common stock shares issued in the recapitalization as though the common stock shares had been issued at the inception of NMH. The results of operations from June 2, 2006 of Uplift Nutrition, Inc. have been included in the accompanying financial statements.
Loss Per Share
The Company calculates loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260. Basic earnings/loss per common share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per common share are based on weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus potentially dilutive common shares from common stock equivalents. The Company has no common stock equivalents for all periods presented.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated.
NOTE 5 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
A shareholder of the Company made multiple advances to the Company beginning in the 2008 fiscal year and continuing through June 30, 2014. The aggregate total of these advances (net of repayments) was $88,961 on June 30, 2014 and $81,811 on December 31, 2013. The advances are unsecured, accrue interest at an annual rate of eight percent and are payable on demand. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company has accrued interest due on these notes in the amounts of $6,725 and $3,392, respectively.
NOTE 6 INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets consist of Trademark application costs totaling $6,593 as of June 30, 2014 relating to nutritional supplements sold under the Active Uplift label. These intangibles are amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful life of 10 years. Accumulated amortization at June 30, 2014 was $6,593.

On February 11, 2014 the Company issued 200,000 shares of common stock to an unrelated third party for services rendered. The shares were valued at $0.0042 per share, resulting in an aggregate expense of $840.
As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had 13,892,597 and 13,692,597 shares respectively, of $0.001 par value common stock issued and outstanding and an additional 329,501 shares held by the Transfer Agent in reserve to satisfy shares issued through a lost instrument bond, should the holder of an outstanding certificate for stock in the original merger submit his shares in trade for shares in Uplift Nutrition, Inc.
NOTE 8 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Additional Unrecorded Common Stock Certificates As a result of shareholders holding stock certificates that did not appear on the Companys current shareholder list, the Company issued 9 common shares, which have been included in the 142,097 shares accounted for as issued in the stock offering transaction. While the Company has no reason to believe that any additional unrecorded certificates exist, the Company believes it is in the best interest of the shareholders to disclose the possible commitment. Should any additional unrecorded shares be turned in, the Company will perform the necessary procedures to validate the new shareholders claim prior to issuing the shares.
NOTE 9 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company has reviewed accounting pronouncements issued during the past two years and have adopted any that are applicable to our company. We have determined that none had a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
NOTE 10 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company has evaluated events occurring after the date of our accompanying balance sheets through the date the financial statement were filed. The Company has not identified any material subsequent events requiring adjustment to our financial statements.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation.
Our principal business plan up to and through the end of the third quarter of 2012 had been to promote, market and sell our energy spray All Day Energy Spray® through the active websites we have mentioned throughout this document but, during the last quarter of 2012, management modified our marketing strategy, rebuilt our www.upliftnutrition.com website, and entered into a marketing agreement to sell two new products called Tonify and X-Mint through our updated website. Because of our change in direction in late 2012, we shut down our two other major websites, namely, www.alldayenergyspray.com and upliftenergy.com so we could concentrate all of our marketing and sales efforts on our one principal website.
As a result of winding down our marketing efforts with respect to Active UpLift® and All Day Energy Spray®, we had less than anticipated sales and gross revenue on these two products through the end of this quarter.
In addition to the foregoing, we look forward to marketing Tonify and X-Mint, two new products we just began marketing a little over a year ago. Tonify is a raspberry keytone chewing gum designed to burn fat. We also began marketing a product called XMint, a male enhancement chewing gum. See our website, www.upliftnutritioninc.com. See also our Annual Report filed recently on Form 10-K.
Our Website.
During the last quarter of 2012, we started the redesign of our principal UpLift website. We also shut down or discontinued our former websites, www.epigaia.com, www.alldayenergyspray.com, and www.upliftenergy.com in favor of just the one website. During the quarter, we spent considerable time and energy revamping and modernizing www.upliftnutritioninc.com and strongly encourage any investor or interested person to visit this website
Inventory.
We no longer carry inventory of Active UpLift® and All Day Energy Spray®. We do normally maintain limited inventory of Tonify and X-Mint.
As of June 30, 2014, we had no packets of Tonify or X-Mint in inventory. We do not have a problem obtaining these products as required to fulfill orders.
We are NOT Dependent on One Supplier for Our Potential Success.
With regard to Tonify and X-Mint, we are not dependent on any one supplier for our ability to receive and inventory product. We can get product from the manufacturer director or from other distributors that we know.
Our Business Plan over the Ensuing Year.
As a result of the recession and people tightening their belts and not spending as much money, we had a difficult time generating sales in the past for our principal products Active UpLift® and All Day Energy Spray. As a result, and as stated above, we decided to suspend all advertising on those two products and cease selling them by the end of 2012. And, starting at that time, and as further disclosed in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K that we recently filed, we have added 2 new products to sell as a broker. To accomplish this, we have completely updated and expanded our existing website, and have shut down the other two websites leaving www.upliftnutritioninc.com as the only website available for advertising, marketing and sales.
We are reasonably confident that our new marketing efforts related to Tonify and X-Mint will be successful but this remains to be seen.
Because we are no longer marketing our principal energy drink products and we have embarked on marketing two entirely new products, we do not believe that comparing cost of goods sold and other comparisons for the same periods in 2014 and 2013 is particularly relevant or meaningful.
Our marketing expenses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 were $-0- compared to the comparable periods ended June 30, 2013 which included expenses of $253 and $1,096. During the previous year, we renovated our website, but have made no further improvements during the most recent period.
Consulting and professional fees for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 were $7,536 and $10,972 compared to fees of $20,188 and $22,098 incurred during the comparable periods ended June 30, 2013. The increase is a result of new management and also the timing of services performed by outside professionals.
General and administrative expenses were $79 and $974 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 compared to $2,286 and $5,276 for comparable periods ended June 30, 2013. The decrease is a result of fewer sales during these periods and a reduction in overall expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Requirements
As of our second quarter of 2014 ended June 30, 2014, we had $635 in cash in our bank account. What we have in our checking or bank account at any given time is insignificant inasmuch as our working capital has historically been provided by our majority shareholder. Though we are accruing 8% interest per annum on the historical amounts provided by our majority shareholder, these advances do not require interest payments at the present time and, unless or until we become profitable, we do not believe that it likely that our agreement with our majority shareholder, H. Deworth Williams, would be modified to require such. Mr. Williams loans are considered or designated by us as "advances" inasmuch as they do not require that we pay interest payments unless demand is made to do so. They are also subject of an open-ended Convertible Note. While we accrue interest or keep track of what it is, at present, we have no way of paying any interest payments to Mr. Williams. As of our quarter-end and given the debt during the last 2 fiscal years that we converted to common stock, we have accrued $6,725 in interest due and owing to Mr. Williams, our convertible note holder. In the event we modify our oral agreement in the future with him so that we are required to pay interest, we do not believe it would have any material impact on us or our liquidity because both we and Mr. Williams would not agree to such a modification unless we were profitable and could afford to make such interest payments.
We hope to be able to satisfy our cash requirements for at least the next 18 months in that our majority shareholder has committed himself to advancing what funds are necessary for us to satisfy all of our cash requirements and otherwise keep us current in our 1934 Exchange Act reporting obligations for at least the ensuing year. Our majority shareholder lacks the capital and resources to fund an advertising campaign, based upon the investigation we have done to determine how expensive such an endeavor would be.
We believe that an 18-month period is consistent with the disclosure in our PLAN OF OPERATION described below in that we believe that within that time, we should be able to successfully carry out our business plan if we can find sufficient advertising capital on acceptable terms. If a determination is made by management within the next year that we will NOT be successful and that our business plan is or will be a failure, our majority shareholder will likely elect not to advance us any more funds. See the section titled "PLAN OF OPERATION" below. Having said this, we are unable to guarantee that at the expiration of 18 months from now, and assuming that our business plan is NOT by then successful, that our majority shareholder will continue to advance us sufficient money to allow us to continue in our reporting obligations. Our majority shareholder may continue to advance us funds beyond the next 18 months, particularly if it appears that we will indeed be able to successfully carry out our business plan. Should the majority shareholder not desire to loan or advance us sufficient funds to continue, we may be required to look at other business opportunities, the form of which we cannot predict at this time. One possibility to fund continuing operations, however, would be a private placement of our shares, the form of which we cannot predict at this time.
Our Budget over the Next 12 Months
Due to our lack of working capital necessary to generate a serious and aggressive advertising campaign, we are unable at this time to devise or project an advertising budget for 2014. Assuming that we do not obtain sufficient working capital during the year to embark on an extensive advertising campaign, what capital we have or what advances we will obtain from our majority shareholder will be used, during 2014, to keep us current in our reporting obligations and to pay attorneys, accountants and auditors.
For information on the cost of manufacturing and packaging our product, reference is made to our PLAN OF OPERATION section below.
Contingency Planning.
Any funding for emergencies is anticipated to be advanced by our majority shareholder, assuming that he has the available funds to do so and desires to do so.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.
None; not applicable.
Effect of Current Economic Conditions.
Current economic conditions, including the current price of oil and the sluggish recovery from the recession, are hurting most retail businesses. American consumers have not returned to the level of spending that existed prior to 2007. Based upon the general uncertainty over the nascent recovery and the specific concerns outlined above regarding our marketing efforts, we are unable to project or estimate the growth of our business during the balance of this and the next year. It is also our belief that Tonify and X-Mint will be considered boutique products that will sell well if the retail economy continues to improve fueled by improving levels of disposable income.
PLAN OF OPERATION
As stated in Items 1 and the beginning of Item 7 above, our principal business plan up to and through the end of the last quarter of 2012 had been to promote, market and sell our energy spray All Day Energy Spray® through the active websites we have mentioned throughout this document. Following 2012, management modified our marketing strategy, rebuilt our www.upliftnutritioninc.com website, and entered into a marketing agreement to sell two new products called Tonify and X-Mint through our updated website. Because of our change in direction, we shut down our two other major websites, namely, www.alldayenergyspray.com and upliftenergy.com so we could concentrate all of our marketing and sales efforts on our one principal website.
Shipping of Our Two New Products.
Both Tonify and X-Mint are packaged in DVD-sized containers which are light weight and inexpensive to ship through the US Postal Service or one of the private shipping services. We pass this cost on to the customer.
Inventory
As of December 31, 2013, all previously held drink inventory was written off due to obsolescence and because of the change in product line and distribution. Also, over a year ago, the remaining inventory of All Day Energy Spray® became obsolete, which means that we no longer sell All Day Energy Spray®. At that time, approximately $12,524 in raw materials and $9,686 in finished goods were written off as an inventory adjustment and are included in cost of sales on our Statement of Operations. We do not intend to mix any more of these products.
Our Current On-Line Marketing/Advertising Strategy
We changed marketing directions starting in 2013 and are concentrating our marketing efforts on Tonify and X-Mint. Our marketing efforts are currently focused upon keeping our revamped website updated and fully functional. We plan to start, a marketing effort on various search engines.
In order for our Internet/eCommerce business to succeed, we additionally plan, on an on-going basis, to:
-- make significant investments in our Internet/eCommerce business, including upgrading our website as it becomes necessary;
-- get other food and nutrition websites to link to ours;
-- significantly increase online traffic and sales volume;
-- attract and retain a loyal base of frequent visitors to our website providing us feedback about our product;
-- expand the products and services offered on our website;
-- respond to competitive developments and maintain our distinct brand identity;
-- form and maintain relationships with strategic partners, including retail food stores and outlets;
-- provide quality customer service, and;
-- Develop and upgrade our services and technologies.
We Intend to Pursue Additional Marketing Ideas and Avenues on an On-Going Basis.
Marketing ideas planned for implementation if capital can be obtained (either through operations or investment), designed to promote both our products and website:
(1) reciprocal links with other websites;
(2) advertising on other health and nutrition websites;
(3) through ads placed in various health and nutrition food magazines such as Healing Lifestyles & Spas, Shape, Prevention, and Womans Day;
(4) attending health and nutrition tradeshows and expos;
(5) contacting and supplying retail food stores across the country (including health food stores) with our product, either on consignment basis or providing a high volume discount to encourage early payment; and
(6) giving product demonstrations in store locations and malls.
Obligation of Our Principal Shareholder to Finance Us in Our Reporting Obligations
Our principal shareholder, H. Deworth Williams, intends to provide sufficient funding, over at least the next 18 months, to allow us to meet our SEC reporting obligations. This does NOT include advancing us the funds necessary to embark on a national advertising campaign. The funding commitment will continue for the next 18 months conditioned upon our majority shareholder agreeing that the efforts of management are consistent with the eventual success of the operations discussed above.
We can make no prediction about whether it will occur. Our majority shareholder may elect, at any time, to cease further funding. We have NOT entered into any formal, written agreement with him that contractually binds or obligates him, to fund us for the next 18 months. We are nonetheless required to continue to evaluate our business plan. During the next 18, management will have to continue to re-evaluate our overall plans, intentions and strategies and, in particular, Mr. Williams will also evaluate whether, and to what extent, he will continue funding our obligations for legal and accounting costs required by the security regulations promulgated fora fully reporting companies. During the second quarter ended June 30, 2014, Mr. Williams advanced approximately $7,150. This figure is disclosed as stockholder advances on our balance sheet as a liability, along with previous cumulative debt owed to Uplift Holdings, his predecessor. This results in a total balance due of $88,961, accumulated over a several year period. See our financial statements above. This debt is represented by a Convertible Note, a note that can convert such debt to common stock at Mr. Williams discretion.
Selected Financial Data.
Because we have not been operating long enough to generate significant sales at the present time, selected financial data would not be particularly meaningful. Reference is made to Part I above and our audited financial statements included in Part F/S of our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K recently filed on Edgar. Reference is also made to the subsection above titled Liquidity and Capital Requirements. We are a development stage company and have only realized nominal revenues from our operations through the end of the current quarter.
Employees, Experts, Consultants and Advisors.
Currently, we have no employees. Employees are not necessary at this stage of our development. Our officers and directors are performing daily duties as needed. We intend to hire employees if and when the need develops. Currently, in managements opinion, there is no such need.
Our directors and officers do not receive any remuneration for their services and are not accruing earned compensation. The Company has the right to issuance stock, warrants, stock options or other forms of consideration from time to time as a bonus for work performed. Mr. Lewis, Chairman of the Board, CEO, CFO and COO, was awarded 200,000 restricted shares in during the first quarter for services rendered. See Item 2 of Part II below disclosing the same
In implementing our business plan, we are holding expenses to a minimum and we plan to obtain expert and other services relating to marketing, product development or other operations on a contingency basis if and when needed. Until now we have not identified nor contacted outside experts, advisors or consultants. If we engage outside advisors or consultants with regard to our operations, we will have to make a determination as to how such persons will be compensated. So far, we have NOT made any arrangements nor do we have definitive agreements to use outside experts, advisors or consultants in operations. We do have a website technician to, among other things, enhance our html source or description codes, namely, Keywords, on our website so that information is more easily susceptible to Yahoo! and Googles search "crawler" or spider.
We do NOT intend to use or hire any employees or other consultants, with the possible exception of part-time clerical assistance on an as-needed basis. Outside advisors or consultants (other than those required to maintain our current securities filings) will be used only if they are needed and can be obtained for minimal cost or on a deferred payment basis. Other than our website maintenance technician whom we will continue using to update or revise our websites as it becomes necessary, we are not currently aware of any situation in which we would need to engage an outside advisor or consultant relating to our business operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
This item is not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Managements Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
In response to managements assessment as of June 30, 2014 and also due to material weaknesses found in past annual reports, the Company and management have implemented changes to internal control over financial reporting. Management believes that these additional controls will mitigate future breakdowns in internal control. With the new ownership, the operations have been relocated and are now are managed by different personnel (some of whom are more skilled in accounting and accounting procedures). Management believes our internal controls over financial reporting in the future will be better than in years past. We have also implemented more post-closing procedures and reconciliation steps consistent with meeting compliance requirements. We believe that these additional procedures have helped, and will continue to help the Company and management to better address and mitigate deficiencies noted in prior Company reports on Edgar.
