Recent Developments

Amendment to Series B Preferred Certificate of Designation
 
    On February 18, 2015, the Company filed the First Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation, Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Amendment”) with the Nevada Secretary of State in order to: (i) eliminate certain provisions pertaining to the adjustment of the conversion price of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”) and (ii) eliminate the protective provision preventing the Company from issuing securities senior to or pari passu in rank to the Series B Preferred without first receiving approval from holders of 66% of the issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred. The Series B Amendment was approved by the written consent of stockholders holding approximately 79% of the issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred.

Creation of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock.

On February 18, 2015, the Company filed the Certificate of Designation, Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock with the Nevada Secretary of State, designating 50,000 shares of the Company's preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred”). Each share of Series C Preferred has a stated value of $100 per share, and is convertible, at the option of each respective holder, into that number of shares of Common Stock equal to $100, divided by $0.15 per share (the “Series C Conversion Shares”). The Company also has the option to require conversion of the Series C Preferred into Series C Conversion Shares in the event: (i) there are sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock reserved as Series C Conversion Shares; (ii) the Series C Conversion Shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or the Series C Conversion Shares are freely tradable, without restriction, under Rule 144 of the Securities Act; and (iii) the average closing price of the Company's Common Stock is at least $0.62 per share for 10 consecutive trading days.

Series C Offering

On February 20, 2015 (the “Initial Investment Date”), the Company and certain accredited investors (the “Investors”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (each a “Purchase Agreement”) wherein the Investors agreed to purchase up to 43,000 shares of Series C Preferred for $100 per share in three separate closings (the “Series C Offering”). The Company issued an aggregate total of 18,000 shares of Series C Preferred on the Initial Investment Date, 15,000 shares on April 1, 2015 and anticipates issuing the remaining 10,000 shares on or before June 30, 2015. The Purchase Agreement also provides for the appointment of one member, designated by the Investors, to the Company’s Board of Directors. As additional consideration for participating in the Series C Offering, each Investor is entitled to receive five-year warrants (the “Series C Warrants”), exercisable at $0.15 per share. Each Series C Warrant contains a price-protection feature that adjusts the exercise price in the event of certain dilutive issuances of securities. Such price-protection feature is determined to be a derivative liability and, as such, the value of all Series C Warrants issued, totaling $464,164, was recorded to derivative liabilities.   
 
 
Amendment to Series C Certificate of Designation.
 
On March 26, 2015, the Company filed the First Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation, Preferences, Rights and Limitations (the “Series C Amendment”) with the Nevada Secretary of State in order to increase the number of shares of the Company’s preferred stock designated as Series C Preferred from 50,000 to 90,000 and to permit the transactions contemplated by the Note Payments and the Note Exchange, as described below.

Note Payments and Note Exchange.

Following the filing of the Series C Amendment, on March 27, 2015, the Company and the Investors entered into an amendment to the Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement Amendment”) wherein the Company sold to one of the Investors an additional 27,000 shares of Series C Preferred (the “Additional Shares”), for gross proceeds of $2.7 million, which the Company subsequently used to satisfy approximately $2.7 million of the Company’s $3.8 million in outstanding secured promissory notes (the “Notes”) (the “Note Payments”). As additional consideration for the purchase of the Additional Shares, the Investor received five-year warrants on substantially similar terms to those offered in the Series C Offering, exercisable for $0.15 per share (the “Additional Warrants”). Each Additional Warrant contains a price-protection feature that adjusts the exercise price in the event of certain dilutive issuances of securities. Such price-protection feature is determined to be a derivative liability and, as such, the value of all Additional Warrants issued, totaling $841,651, was recorded to derivative liabilities.   

Following the Note Payments, the Company and each of the holders (the “Holders”) of the Notes remaining after the Note Payments entered into Note Exchange Agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”), wherein the Holders agreed to exchange all remaining principal and accrued interest of any such Notes into shares of Series C Preferred on substantially similar terms to those offered in the Series C Offering (the “Note Exchange”). As a result of the execution of the Exchange Agreements and the consummation of the Note Exchange, the Company issued to the Holders an aggregate total of 12,148 shares of Series C Preferred and Series C Warrants to purchase approximately 2.8 million shares of Common Stock. Each Series C Warrant issued in connection with the Note Exchange contains a price-protection feature that adjusts the exercise price in the event of certain dilutive issuances of securities. Such price-protection feature is determined to be a derivative liability and, as such, the value of all Series C Warrants issued in connection with the Note Exchange, totaling $378,681, was recorded to derivative liabilities.   

Basis of Presentation and Going Concern
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, which has been derived from audited financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015, or for any other interim period during such year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the SEC on April 2, 2015.
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company incurred a net loss of $2,278,045, has negative working capital of $2,355,142, and an accumulated deficit of $20,636,126. The Company had $182,034 in cash at March 31, 2015 with $133,231 of this cash being restricted, as discussed below. The Company will require additional capital to execute its business, marketing and operating plan, and therefore sustain operations, which capital may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result in the event the Company was unable to generate sufficient cash from operations, execute its business, marking or operating plan, or obtain additional working capital, if necessary.
 
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries True Drinks, Inc., Bazi, Inc. and GT Beverage Company, LLC. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of 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 made by management include, among others, derivative liabilities, provision for losses on accounts receivable, allowances for obsolete and slow moving inventory, stock compensation, deferred tax asset valuation allowances, and the realization of long-lived and intangible assets, including goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Restricted Cash
 
At March 31, 2015, the Company had $133,231 in restricted cash with a financial institution securing a letter of credit. The letter of credit matures in August 2015 and was issued as part of contractual obligations related to one of our licensing agreements with Disney Consumer Products, Inc.

Accounts Receivable
 
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is analyzed on a periodic basis to ensure that it is adequate to the best of management’s knowledge. Management develops an estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on the perceived likelihood of ultimate payment. Although the Company expects to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from these estimated amounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $155,000 and $162,000 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
 
Concentrations

The Company has no significant off-balance sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.  The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with two financial institutions.  There are funds in excess of the federally insured amount, or that are subject to credit risk, and the Company believes that the financial institutions are financially sound and the risk of loss is minimal.
 
We utilized a variety of suppliers to purchase raw materials for the AquaBall™ Naturally Flavored Water during the three-months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
 
During 2014 and into 2015, we relied significantly on one supplier for 100% of our purchases of certain raw materials for Bazi®.  Bazi, Inc. has sourced these raw materials from this supplier since 2007 and we do not anticipate any issues with the supply of these raw materials.
 
A significant portion of our revenue comes from sales of the AquaBall™ Naturally Flavored Water. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, sales of AquaBall™ accounted for 95% and 91% of the Company’s total revenue, respectively.
 
Inventory
 
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market on a FIFO (first-in first-out) basis. Provisions are made to reduce excess or obsolete inventory to the estimated net realizable value. The Company purchases for resale a vitamin-enhanced flavored water beverage and a liquid dietary supplement.
 
Management reviews the carrying value of inventory in relation to its sales history and industry trends to determine an estimated net realizable value. Changes in economic conditions or customer demand could result in obsolete or slow moving inventory that cannot be sold or must be sold at reduced prices and could result in an inventory reserve. No inventory reserves were considered necessary as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
 
 
Inventory is comprised of the following:

Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows estimated to be generated by the asset. No impairment was deemed necessary during the quarter ended March 31, 2015.
 
Intangible Assets
 
Intangible assets consists of the direct costs incurred for application fees and legal expenses associated with trademarks on the Company’s products, customer list, and the estimated value of GT Beverage Company, LLC’s interlocking spherical bottle patent. The Company’s intangible assets are amortized over their estimated remaining useful lives. The Company evaluates the useful lives of its intangible assets annually and adjusts the lives according to the expected useful life. No impairment was deemed necessary during the quarter ended March 31, 2015.

Goodwill
 
Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that are individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at least annually, typically in the fourth quarter. No impairment charges have been recorded for goodwill.

Income Taxes
 
For the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred tax net operating losses, and accordingly, had no income tax provision. At March 31, 2015, the Company had tax net operating loss carryforwards and a related deferred tax asset, which had a full valuation allowance.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, general and administrative expenses included stock based compensation expense of $129,098 and $123,364, respectively.
 
The Company uses a Black-Scholes option-pricing model (the “Black-Scholes Model”) to estimate the fair value of outstanding stock options and warrants. The use of a valuation model requires the Company to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs. Expected volatility is calculated based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price over the contractual term of the option or warrant. The expected life is based on the contractual term of the option or warrant and expected exercise and, in the case of options, post-vesting employment termination behavior. Currently, our model inputs are based on the simplified approach provided by SAB 110. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life assumed at the date of the grant (see Note 3, “Stock Options and Warrants”).
 
Fair Value Matters

The Company does not have any assets or liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis, except for derivative liabilities.
 
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and debt. Management believes that the carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates their fair values, due to their relatively short-term nature.
 
 
Derivative Instruments

A derivative is an instrument whose value is “derived” from an underlying instrument or index such as a future, forward, swap, option contract, or other financial instrument with similar characteristics, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (“embedded derivatives”) and for hedging activities. As a matter of policy, the Company does not invest in financial derivatives or engage in hedging transactions. However, the Company has entered into complex financing transactions that involve financial instruments containing certain features that have resulted in the instruments being deemed derivatives or containing embedded derivatives. The Company may engage in other similar complex debt transactions in the future, but not with the intention to enter into derivative instruments. Derivatives and embedded derivatives, if applicable, are measured at fair value using the binomial lattice (“Binomial Lattice”) pricing model and marked to market and reflected on our condensed consolidated statement of operations as other (income) expense at each reporting period. However, such new and/or complex instruments may have immature or limited markets. As a result, the pricing models used for valuation of derivatives often incorporate significant estimates and assumptions, which may impact the level of precision in the financial statements. Furthermore, depending on the terms of a derivative or embedded derivative, the valuation of derivatives may be removed from the financial statements upon conversion of the underlying instrument into some other security.

Net Loss Per Share
 
Earnings per share requires presentation of both basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share.  Since the Company has a net loss for all periods presented, Common Stock equivalents are not included in the weighted average calculation since their effect would be anti-dilutive.  At March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had 155,365,213 and 90,832,975 shares of Common Stock equivalents outstanding, respectively.

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Except as noted below, the Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements and has concluded that there are no recently issued, but not yet effective pronouncements that may have a material impact on the Company’s future financial statements.
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606. This ASU outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. This accounting standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this accounting standard will have on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 2 — SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, dividends payable either in cash, in property or in shares of Common Stock of the Company. Dividends have no cumulative rights and dividends will not accumulate if the Board of Directors does not declare such dividends.

On January 18, 2013, upon the filing of the Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, the Company converted 1,544,565 shares of Series A Preferred issued to former True Drinks shareholders into 25,304,017 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. In February 2015, the Company filed a Certificate of Elimination with the State of Nevada to eliminate the Series A Preferred Stock.
 
In the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company declared $66,872 in dividends on its Series B Preferred shares. The Company issued a total of 450,248 shares of Common Stock to pay $85,573 of cumulative unpaid dividends. As of March 31, 2015, there remained $81,377 in cumulative unpaid dividends.
 
As described in Note 1 above, under the heading “Recent Developments”, on February 20, 2015, the Company and certain Investors entered into a Purchase Agreements in connection with the Company’s Series C Offering, wherein the Investors agreed to purchase up to 43,000 shares of Series C Preferred for $100 per share in three separate closings. The Company issued an aggregate total of 18,000 shares of Series C Preferred on the Initial Investment Date, 15,000 shares on April 1, 2015 and anticipates issuing the remaining 10,000 shares on or before June 30, 2015. As additional consideration for participating in the Series C Offering, Investors were issued a total of 4,200,000 Series C Warrants, exercisable at $0.15 per share. Each Series C Warrant contains a price-protection feature that adjusts the exercise price in the event of certain dilutive issuances of securities. Such price-protection feature is determined to be a derivative liability and, as such, the value of all Series C Warrants issued, totaling $464,164, was recorded to derivative liabilities.   
 
 
On March 27, 2015, the Company sold to an Investor 27,000 Additional Shares of Series C Preferred, for gross proceeds of $2.7 million. As additional consideration for the purchase of the Additional Shares, the Investor was issued a total of 6,300,000 Additional Warrant, on terms substantially similar to those issued in connection with the Series C Offering. Each Additional Warrant contains a price-protection feature that adjusts the exercise price in the event of certain dilutive issuances of securities. Such price-protection feature is determined to be a derivative liability and, as such, the value of all Additional Warrants issued, totaling $841,651, was recorded to derivative liabilities.   

On March 27, 2015, holders of outstanding notes and accrued interest totaling $1,214,207 agreed to exchange all remaining principal and accrued interest of any such Notes into shares of Series C Preferred on substantially similar terms to those offered in the Series C Offering. As a result of the execution of the Exchange Agreements and the consummation of the Note Exchange, the Company issued to the Holders an aggregate total of 12,148 shares of Series C Preferred and Series C Warrants to purchase 2,834,536 shares of Common Stock for $0.15 per share. Each Series C Warrant issued in connection with the Note Exchange contains a price-protection feature that adjusts the exercise price in the event of certain dilutive issuances of securities. Such price-protection feature is determined to be a derivative liability and, as such, the value of all Series C Warrants issued in connection with the Note Exchange, totaling $378,681, was recorded to derivative liabilities.   
 
During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company issued 2,248,302 shares of Common Stock in connection with certain consulting agreements. The Company expensed the fair value of the Common Stock issued of $453,062 to consulting expense.

As disclosed in Note 1 above under the heading “Recent Developments”, in March 2015, the Company received gross process of $2.7 million from the sale of 27,000 shares of Series C Preferred to an accredited, existing investor, which proceeds were subsequently used to satisfy approximately $2.7 million of the Company’s $3.8 million in outstanding Notes. Following the Note Payments, the Company and each of the Holders of the Notes remaining after the Note Payments entered into Exchange Agreements, wherein the Holders agreed to exchange all remaining principal and accrued interest of any such Notes into shares of Series C Preferred on substantially similar terms to those offered in the Series C Offering.

Line-of-Credit Facility
 
The Company entered into a line-of-credit agreement with a financial institution on June 30, 2014. The terms of the agreement allow the Company to borrow up to the lesser of $1.5 million or 85% of the sum of eligible accounts receivables. At March 31, 2015, the total outstanding on the line-of-credit approximated $130,000 and the Company had approximately $0 available to borrow. The line-of-credit bears interest at Prime rate (3.25% as of March 31, 2015) plus 4.50% per annum as well as a monthly fee of 0.50% on the average amount outstanding on the line.

Secured Notes

Between September and December 2014, the Company issued secured promissory notes, or Notes, in the aggregate principal amount of $3,420,000 to certain accredited investors. The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 12% per annum and are secured by an interest in all inventory, books and records pertaining to the inventory, and all proceeds with respect sale or other disposition of the inventory. The Notes mature one year from the date of issuance. In the event the Notes are paid in a form other than cash, the Company is obligated to pay to the Holder of the Secured Notes a lender's fee equal to 10%, which amount shall be added to the principal amount due and owing the Holder. As of March 31, 2015, each of these Notes were either paid in full, or exchanged for shares of Series C Preferred in the Note Exchange described under Note 1 above, under the heading “Recent Developments”.

In September 2014, the Company issued a Note in the principal amount of $200,000 to Scot Cohen, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Note accrued interest at a rate of 12% and was secured by an interest in all inventory, books and records pertaining to the inventory, and all proceeds with respect sale or other disposition of the inventory. The Note originally matured in September 2014, was in default as of December 31, 2014 and was paid in full in February 2015.

NOTE 5 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has entered in a number of agreements with various consultants. Termination of any of these agreements could result in termination fees.
 
The Company leases its corporate office in Irvine, California on a one-year term, which term expires in July 2015. Total rent expense related to the Company's operating lease for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $14,270 and $15,568, respectively. Total remaining payments on the lease through July 31, 2015 are $17,596.

The Company maintains employment agreements with certain key members of management. The agreements provide for minimum base salaries, eligibility for stock options, performance bonuses and severance payments.
 
 
Legal Proceedings

From time to time, claims are made against the Company in the ordinary course of business, which could result in litigation. Claims and associated litigation are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes could occur. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters, if any, will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
On April 22, 2014, a lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange, against the Company by Advantage Sales and Marketing, LLC. The plaintiff initially seeks damages of $92,064 for outstanding invoices. This lawsuit was settled in January 2015 for the payment of $69,000 in cash over three installments.
 
We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
 
NOTE 6 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
The application of fair value measurements may be on a recurring or nonrecurring basis depending on the accounting principles applicable to the specific asset or liability or whether management has elected to carry the item at its estimated fair value. FASB ASC 820-10-35 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
 
 -           Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
 
 -           Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
 
 -           Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when estimating fair value.

The Company assesses its recurring fair value measurements as defined by FASB ASC 810. Liabilities measured at estimated fair value on a recurring basis include derivative liabilities. Transfers between fair value classifications occur when there are changes in pricing observability levels. Transfers of financial liabilities among the levels occur at the beginning of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and/or Level 3 during the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The Company had no Level 1 or 2 fair value measurements at March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

NOTE 7 – LICENSING AGREEMENTS
 
We entered into a three-year licensing agreement with Disney Consumer Products, Inc. (“Disney”) and an 18-month licensing agreement with Marvel Characters, B.V. ("Marvel") (the “Licensing Agreements”) in 2012. Each Licensing Agreement allows us to feature popular Disney and Marvel characters on AquaBall™ Naturally Flavored Water, allowing AquaBall™ to stand out among other beverages marketed towards children. Under the terms and conditions of the Licensing Agreements, we work with the Disney and Marvel teams to create colorful, eye-catching labels that surround the entire spherical shape of each AquaBall™. Once the label designs are approved, we work with Disney and Marvel to set retail calendars, rotating the placement of different AquaBall™ designs over the course of the year. The terms of the Disney Licensing Agreement (“Disney Agreement”) stipulates a royalty rate of 4% on the sales of AquaBall™ Naturally Flavored Water adorned with Disney characters, paid quarterly, with a total royalty guarantee of $231,600 over the term of the Disney Agreement which has a term ending date of May 31, 2015. In addition, the Company is required to spend 1% of sales on advertising and promotional opportunities. The Company and Disney are in discussions to extend this agreement.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend to identify forward-looking statements in this report by using words such as “believes,” “intends,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “projected,” “contemplates,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” or similar terminology. These statements are based on our beliefs as well as assumptions we made using information currently available to us. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Because these statements reflect our current views concerning future events, these statements involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Actual future results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. These risks include changes in demand for our products, changes in the level of operating expenses, our ability to expand our network of customers, changes in general economic conditions that impact consumer behavior and spending, product supply, the availability, amount, and cost of capital to us and our use of such capital, and other risks discussed in this report. Additional risks that may affect our performance are discussed under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
 
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere within this Quarterly Report. Fluctuations in annual and quarterly results may occur as a result of factors affecting demand for our products such as the timing of new product introductions by us and by our competitors and our customers’ political and budgetary constraints. Due to such fluctuations, historical results and percentage relationships are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for any future period.

Critical Accounting Polices and Estimates

Discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates; including those related to collection of receivables, inventory obsolescence, sales returns and non-monetary transactions such as stock and stock options issued for services. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe there have been no changes to our critical accounting policies subsequent to the filing of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
 
 
Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014.
 
Net Sales
 
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $774,601 compared to $650,532 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a 19% increase. The increase in sales for the three months ended March 31, 2015 is principally attributable to utilization of key direct store distributors in areas such as New York and certain areas in the Mid-West. While no assurances can be given, management anticipates continued growth in the sale of AquaBall™ as the Company executes its business plan, and realizes sales from current distribution agreements negotiated and closed in recent periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our auditors have included a paragraph in their report on our consolidated financial statements, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, indicating that there is substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company incurred a net loss of $2,271,197. At March 31, 2015, the Company has negative working capital of $2,355,142 and an accumulated deficit of $20,629,277. Although, during the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company raised approximately $1.9 million resulting from the sale of shares of Series B Preferred, approximately $4.0 million in promissory notes, and, during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 raised approximately $4.5 million from the sale of shares of Series C Preferred, as discussed below, additional capital will be necessary to advance the marketability of the Company's products to the point at which the Company can sustain operations. Management's plans are to continue to contain expenses, expand distribution and sales of its AquaBall™ Naturally Flavored Water as rapidly as economically possible, and raise capital through equity and debt offerings to execute the Company’s business plan and achieve profitability from continuing operations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result in the event the Company is unsuccessful in its plans.
 
The Company has financed its operations through sales of equity and, to a lesser degree, cash flow provided by sales of AquaBall™. Despite recent sales of preferred stock as described below, funds generated from sales of shares of our preferred stock or other equity or debt securities, and cash flow provided by AquaBall™ sales may be insufficient to fund our operating requirements for the next twelve months. As a result we may require additional capital to continue operating as a going concern. No assurances can be given that we will be successful.

Series C Offering, Note Payments and Note Exchange
 
As described in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, on February 20, 2015, the Company and certain Investors entered into Purchase Agreements wherein the Investors agreed to purchase up to 43,000 shares of newly created Series C Preferred for $100 per share in three separate closings. The Company issued an aggregate total of 18,000 shares of Series C Preferred on the Initial Investment Date of February 20, 2015, 15,000 shares on April 1, 2015 and anticipates issuing the remaining 10,000 shares on or before June 30, 2015. As additional consideration for participating in the Series C Offering, each Investor received five-year Series C Warrants, exercisable for $0.15 per share.

On March 27, 2015, the Company and the Investors entered into the Purchase Agreement Amendment wherein the Company sold to one of the Investors 27,000 Additional Shares of Series C Preferred for gross proceeds of $2.7 million, which the Company subsequently used to satisfy approximately $2.7 million of the Company’s $3.8 million in outstanding Notes. As additional consideration for the purchase of the Additional Shares, the Investor received Additional Warrants on terms substantially similar to the Series C Warrants issued in connection with the Series C Offering.

Following the Note Payments, the Company and each of the Holders of the Notes remaining after the Note Payments entered into Exchange Agreements, wherein the Holders agreed to exchange all remaining principal and accrued interest of any such Notes into shares of Series C Preferred on substantially similar terms to those offered in the Series C Offering. As a result of the execution of the Exchange Agreements and the consummation of the Note Exchange, the Company issued to the Holders an aggregate total of 12,148 shares of Series C Preferred and Series C Warrants to purchase approximately 2.8 million shares of Common Stock.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company has issued 57,148 shares of Series C Preferred and Series C Warrants to purchase an aggregate total of 13.3 million shares of Common Stock (including the Additional Warrants) during the Series C Offering, resulting in gross proceeds of $4.5 million and satisfaction of all amounts owed under the Notes.
 
Line-of-Credit Facility
 
The Company entered into a line-of-credit agreement with a financial institution on June 30, 2014. The terms of the agreement allow the Company to borrow up to the lesser of $1.5 million or 85% of the sum of eligible accounts receivables. At March 31, 2015, the total outstanding on the line-of-credit approximated $130,000 and the Company had approximately $0 available to borrow. The line-of-credit bears interest at Prime rate (3.25% as of March 31, 2015) plus 4.50% per annum as well as a monthly fee of 0.50% on the average amount outstanding on the line.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Items
 
We had no off-balance sheet items as of March 31, 2015.

 
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
(a)
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that this information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Our management, with the participation and supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
 
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective based on our material weakness in the form of lack of segregation of duties, which stems from our early stage status and limited capital resources to hire additional financial and administrative staff.
 
(b)
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.
 
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that there have been no changes, in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report identified in connection with the evaluation described in the above paragraph that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 

PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
From time to time, claims are made against the Company in the ordinary course of business, which could result in litigation. Claims and associated litigation are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes could occur. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters, if any, will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
On July 1, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court, the Southern District of Ohio, Cincinnati Division, against GT Beverage Company, LLC (“GT LLC”) by Dominion Liquid Technologies, LLC.  The lawsuit alleged that GT LLC breached terms of a 2010 co-packing agreement, which governed the relationship between the parties.  In July 2014, the Company settled this lawsuit for $350,000. The settlement was fully accrued for, and was paid for with 1,166,667 restricted shares of Common Stock.
 
On April 22, 2014, a lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange, against the Company by Advantage Sales and Marketing, LLC. The plaintiff initially seeks damages of $92,064 for outstanding invoices. This lawsuit was settled in January 2015 for the payment of $69,000 in cash over three installments.
 
We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of the Company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company, or our Common Stock in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
 
Our results of operations and financial condition are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, filed on April 2, 2015. You should carefully consider these risk factors in conjunction with the other information contained in this Quarterly Report. Should any of these risks materialize, our business, financial condition and future prospects could be negatively impacted. As of March 31, 2015, there have been no material changes to the disclosures made in the above-referenced Form 10-K.
