Youngevity International, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
 
 
Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Description of Business
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
 
Youngevity International, Inc. (the “Company”) consolidates all wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
The statements presented as of June 30, 2018 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all normal recurring and other adjustments necessary for a fair presentation, and to make the financial statements not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2018. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.
 
Nature of Business
 
The Company, founded in 1996, develops and distributes health and nutrition related products through its global independent direct selling network, also known as multi-level marketing, and sells coffee products to commercial customers.  The Company operates in two business segments, its direct selling segment where products are offered through a global distribution network of preferred customers and distributors and its commercial coffee segment where products are sold directly to businesses.
 
The Company operates through the following wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries: AL Global Corporation, which operates its direct selling networks, CLR Roasters, LLC (“CLR”), its commercial coffee business, 2400 Boswell LLC, MK Collaborative LLC, Youngevity Global LLC and the wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries: Youngevity Australia Pty. Ltd., Youngevity NZ, Ltd., Siles Plantation Family Group S.A. (“Siles”), located in Nicaragua, Youngevity Mexico S.A. de CV, Youngevity Israel, Ltd., Youngevity Russia, LLC, Youngevity Colombia S.A.S, Youngevity International Singapore Pte. Ltd., Mialisia Canada, Inc. and Legacy for Life Limited (Hong Kong). The Company also operates through the BellaVita Group LLC, with operations in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and Japan. The Company also operates subsidiary branches of Youngevity Global LLC in the Philippines and Taiwan.
 
Segment Information
 
The Company has two reportable segments: direct selling and commercial coffee. The direct selling segment develops and distributes health and wellness products through its global independent direct selling network also known as multi-level marketing. The commercial coffee segment is a coffee roasting and distribution company specializing in gourmet coffee. The determination that the Company has two reportable segments is based upon the guidance set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, “Segment Reporting.” During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company derived approximately 83% its revenue from its direct selling segment and approximately 17% of its revenue from its commercial coffee selling segment. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company derived approximately 86% of its revenue from its direct selling segment and approximately 14% of its revenue from its commercial coffee selling segment. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company derived approximately 83% of its revenue from its direct selling segment and approximately 17% of its revenue from its commercial coffee selling segment. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company derived approximately 86% of its revenue from its direct selling segment and approximately 14% of its revenue from its commercial coffee selling segment.
 
 Liquidity and Going Concern
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared and presented on a basis assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has sustained significant net losses during the six months ended June 30, 2018 of $2,922,000 and $4,789,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Net cash used in operating activities was $1,676,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $176,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The Company does not currently believe that its existing cash resources are sufficient to meet the Company’s anticipated needs over the next twelve months from the date hereof. Based on its current cash levels and its current rate of cash requirements, the Company will need to raise additional capital and/or will need to further reduce its expenses from current levels. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
 
 
The Company anticipates revenues to continue to grow and it intends to make necessary cost reductions related to international operations that are not performing and reduce non-essential expenses.
 
The Company is also considering multiple alternatives including, but not limited to, additional equity financings and debt financings.
 
On March 30, 2018, the Company completed its best efforts offering of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Offering”), pursuant to which the Company sold 381,173 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at an offering price of $9.50 per share and received gross proceeds of $3,621,143.
 
The net proceeds to the Company from the Series B Offering were $3,289,861 after deducting commissions, closing and issuance costs.
 
The shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock issued in the Company’s 2018 best efforts offering of the Series B Offering were sold pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement, which was declared effective on February 13, 2018. The notes (the “2017 Notes”) issued by the Company in its private placement that was consummated in 2017 (the “2017 Private Placement”) provided that they automatically convert into shares of the Company’s common stock upon receipt of proceeds of at least $3,000,000 in subsequent offerings. Upon the receipt of the proceeds of the Series B Offering, the 2017 Notes in the principal amount of $7,254,349 automatically converted into 1,577,033 shares of common stock.
 
Depending on market conditions, there can be no assurance that additional capital will be available when needed or that, if available, it will be obtained on terms favorable to the Company or to its stockholders.
 
Failure to raise additional funds from the issuance of equity securities and failure to implement cost reductions could adversely affect the Company’s ability to operate as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires the Company 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 revenue and expense for each reporting period. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other things, allowances for doubtful accounts, deferred taxes, and related valuation allowances, fair value of derivative liabilities, uncertain tax positions, loss contingencies, fair value of options granted under the Company’s stock-based compensation plan, fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations, capital leases, asset impairments, estimates of future cash flows used to evaluate impairments, useful lives of property, equipment and intangible assets, value of contingent acquisition debt, inventory obsolescence, and sales returns.  
 
Actual results may differ from previously estimated amounts and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected prospectively in the period they occur.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers only its monetary liquid assets with original maturities of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents.
 
Line of Credit - Loan and Security Agreement
 
CLR had a factoring agreement (“Factoring Agreement”) with Crestmark Bank (“Crestmark”) related to accounts receivable resulting from sales of certain CLR products. Effective May 1, 2016, CLR entered into a third amendment to the Factoring Agreement. Under the terms of the third amendment, all new receivables assigned to Crestmark were “Client Risk Receivables” and no further credit approvals were required to be provided by Crestmark. Additionally, the third amendment expanded the factoring facility to include advanced borrowings against eligible inventory up to 50% of landed cost of finished goods inventory that meet certain criteria, not to exceed the lesser of $1,000,000 or 85% of the value of the accounts receivables already advanced with a maximum overall borrowing of $3,000,000. Interest accrued on the outstanding balance and a factoring commission was charged for each invoice factored which was calculated as the greater of $5.00 or 0.75% to 0.875% of the gross invoice amount and was recorded as interest expense. In addition, the Company and the Company’s CEO, Mr. Wallach, entered into a Guaranty and Security Agreement with Crestmark guaranteeing payments in the event that CLR were to default. The third amendment was effective until February 1, 2019.
 
 
 
On November 16, 2017, CLR entered into a new Loan and Security Agreement (“Agreement”) with Crestmark which amended and restated the original Factoring Agreement dated February 12, 2010 with Crestmark and subsequent agreement amendments thereto. CLR is provided with a line of credit related to accounts receivables resulting from sales of certain products that includes borrowings to be advanced against acceptable eligible inventory related to CLR. Effective December 29, 2017, CLR entered into a First Amendment to the Agreement, to include an increase in the maximum overall borrowing to $6,250,000. The loan amount may not exceed an amount which is the lesser of (a) $6,250,000 or (b) the sum of up (i) to 85% of the value of the eligible accounts; plus, (ii) the lesser of $1,000,000 or 50% of eligible inventory or 50% of (i) above, plus (iii) the lesser of $250,000 or eligible inventory or 75% of certain specific inventory identified within the Agreement.
 
The Agreement contains certain financial and nonfinancial covenants with which the Company must comply to maintain its borrowing availability and avoid penalties.
 
The outstanding principal balance of the Agreement bears interest based upon a year of 360 days with interest being charged for each day the principal amount is outstanding including the date of actual payment. The interest rate is a rate equal to the prime rate plus 2.50% with a floor of 6.75%. In addition, other fees expenses are incurred for the maintenance of the loan in accordance with the Agreement. Other fees may be incurred in the event the minimum loan balance of $2,000,000 is not maintained. The Agreement is effective until November 16, 2020.
 
The Company and the Company’s CEO, Mr. Wallach, have entered into a Corporate Guaranty and Personal Guaranty, respectively, with Crestmark guaranteeing payments in the event that the Company’s commercial coffee segment CLR were to default.

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when the following four criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, or services have been rendered, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company ships the majority of its direct selling segment products directly to the distributors primarily via UPS, USPS or FedEx and receives substantially all payments for these sales in the form of credit card transactions. The Company regularly monitors its use of credit card or merchant services to ensure that its financial risk related to credit quality and credit concentrations is actively managed. Revenue is recognized upon passage of title and risk of loss to customers when product is shipped from the fulfillment facility. The Company ships the majority of its coffee segment products via common carrier and invoices its customer for the products. Revenue is recognized when the title and risk of loss is passed to the customer under the terms of the shipping arrangement, typically, FOB shipping point.
 
The Company also charges fees to become a distributor, and earn a position in the network genealogy, which are recognized as revenue in the period received. The Company’s distributors are required to pay a one-time enrollment fee and receive a welcome kit specific to that country or region that consists of forms, policy and procedures, selling aids, access to the Company’s distributor website and a genealogy position with no down line distributors.
 
Sales revenue and a reserve for estimated returns are recorded net of sales tax.
 
Deferred Revenues and Costs
 
As of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the balance in deferred revenues was approximately $4,888,000 and $3,386,000, respectively. Deferred revenue related to the Company’s direct selling segment is attributable to the Heritage Makers product line and also for future Company convention and distributor events. In addition, the Company recognizes deferred revenue from the commercial coffee segment.
 
Deferred revenue related to Heritage Makers was approximately $2,261,000 and $1,882,000, as of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively. The deferred revenue represents Heritage Maker’s obligation for points purchased by customers that have not yet been redeemed for product. Cash received for points sold is recorded as deferred revenue. Revenue is recognized when customers redeem the points and the product is shipped.
 
Deferred costs relate to Heritage Makers prepaid commissions that are recognized in expense at the time the related revenue is recognized. As of June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the balance in deferred costs was approximately $455,000 and $433,000, respectively, and is included in prepaid expenses and current assets.
 
Deferred revenue related to CLR as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was approximately $2,391,000 and $1,291,000, respectively, and represents deposits on customer orders that have not yet been completed and shipped.
 
Deferred revenue related to pre-enrollment in upcoming conventions and distributor events of approximately $236,000 and $213,000, as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, relate primarily to the Company’s 2018 events. The Company does not recognize this revenue until the event occurs.
 
Plantation Costs
 
The Company’s commercial coffee segment includes the results of Siles, which is a 500-acre coffee plantation and a dry-processing facility located on 26 acres located in Matagalpa, Nicaragua. Siles is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CLR, and the results of CLR include the depreciation and amortization of capitalized costs, development and maintenance and harvesting costs of Siles. In accordance with GAAP plantation maintenance and harvesting costs for commercially producing coffee farms are charged against earnings when the coffee is sold. Deferred harvest costs accumulate throughout the year and are expensed over the remainder of the year as the coffee is sold. The difference between actual harvest costs incurred and the amount of harvest costs recognized as expense is recorded as either an increase or decrease in deferred harvest costs, which is reported as an asset and included with prepaid expenses and other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Once the harvest is complete, the harvest costs are then recognized as inventory.
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2018 the Company completed its 2018 harvest and recognized $439,000 in inventory costs.
 
Deferred cost associated with the 2019 harvest was $100,000 as of June 30, 2018 and deferred cost associated with the 2018 harvest was $400,000 as of December 31, 2017.
 
The 2019 harvest is expected to be completed during the Company’s second quarter of 2019.
 
 
 
Stock-based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation,” which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under such provisions, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense, under the straight-line method, over the vesting period of the equity grant.
 
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with authoritative guidance for equity-based payments to non-employees. Stock options issued to non-employees are accounted for at their estimated fair value, determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The fair value of options granted to non-employees is re-measured as they vest, and the resulting increase in value, if any, is recognized as expense during the period the related services are rendered.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes," under the asset and liability method which includes the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Under this approach, deferred taxes are recorded for the future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid. The provision for income taxes represents income taxes paid or payable for the current year plus the change in deferred taxes during the year. Deferred taxes result from differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted. The effects of future changes in income tax laws or rates are not anticipated.
 
Income taxes for the interim periods are computed using the effective tax rates estimated to be applicable for the full fiscal year, as adjusted for any discrete taxable events that occur during the period.
 
The Company files income tax returns in the United States (“U.S.”) on a federal basis and in many U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. Certain tax years remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
 
Commitments and Contingencies
 
The Company is from time to time, the subject of claims and suits arising out of matters related to the Company’s business. The Company is party to litigation at the present time and may become party to litigation in the future. In general, litigation claims can be expensive, and time consuming to bring or defend against and could result in settlements or damages that could significantly affect financial results. It is not possible to predict the final resolution of the current litigation to which the Company is party to, and the impact of certain of these matters on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition could be material. Regardless of the outcome, litigation has adversely impacted the Company’s business because of defense costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The amendments in this Update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (H.R.1) (the Act). Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. However, because the amendments only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Act, the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations is not affected. The amendments in this Update also require certain disclosures about stranded tax effects. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. ASU 2017-09 will reduce diversity in practice and result in fewer changes to the terms of an award being accounted for as modifications. Under ASU 2017-09, an entity will not apply modification accounting to a share-based payment award if the award’s fair value, vesting conditions and classification as an equity or liability instrument are the same immediately before and after the change. ASU 2017-09 will be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date. This ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
 

 
In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260): Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480): Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features and II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. Part I of this update addresses public entities that issue warrants, convertible debt or convertible preferred stock that contain down round features.  Part II of this update recharacterizes the indefinite deferral of certain provisions of Topic 480 that now are presented as pending content in the Codification, to a scope exception. Those amendments do not have an accounting effect. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this new guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. 
 
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, to improve financial reporting in regard to how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The ASU requires that (1) debt extinguishment costs be classified as cash outflows for financing activities and provides additional classification guidance for the statement of cash flows, (2) the classification of cash receipts and payments that have aspects of more than one class of cash flows to be determined by applying specific guidance under generally accepted accounting principles, and (3) each separately identifiable source or use within the cash receipts and payments be classified on the basis of their nature in financing, investing or operating activities. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019.  The Company has assessed the adoption of this ASU and it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation–Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The ASU includes various provisions to simplify the accounting for share-based payments with the goal of reducing the cost and complexity of accounting for share-based payments. The amendments may significantly impact net income, earnings per share and the statement of cash flows as well as present implementation and administration challenges for companies with significant share-based payment activities. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. 
 
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU simplifies the test for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Companies will now perform the goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The ASU in this update are effective for goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted for goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and requires expanded disclosures about leasing arrangements. The Company is expected to adopt the standard no later than January 1, 2020. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the new standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements, which will consist primarily of a balance sheet gross up of the Company’s operating leases. 
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The new revenue recognition standard provides a five-step analysis of contracts to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The FASB has issued several updates subsequently including implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations, on how an entity should account for licensing arrangements with customers, and to improve guidance on assessing collectability, presentation of sales taxes, noncash consideration, and contract modifications and completed contracts at transition. The amendments in this series of updates shall be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company continues to assess the impact of this ASU, and related subsequent updates, will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. As of June 30, 2018, the Company is in the process of reviewing the guidance to identify how this ASU will apply to the Company's revenue reporting process in 2019. The final impact of this ASU on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements will not be known until the assessment is complete. The Company will update disclosures in future periods as the analysis is completed.

Note 2. Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
 
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period and the weighted-average number of dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period, using the treasury stock method. Dilutive common share equivalents are comprised of stock options, restricted stock, warrants, convertible preferred stock and common stock associated with the Company's convertible notes based on the average stock price for each period using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share when their effect is anti-dilutive. In periods where a net loss is presented, all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive and are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share.
 
Potentially dilutive securities were 6,560,761 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. Potentially dilutive securities were 5,282,208 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Note 3.  Inventory and Cost of Revenues
 
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value net of the valuation allowance. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. The Company records an inventory reserve for estimated excess and obsolete inventory based upon historical turnover, market conditions and assumptions about future demand for its products. When applicable, expiration dates of certain inventory items with a definite life are taken into consideration.
 
Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):
 
 
 
As of

Cost of revenues includes the cost of inventory, shipping and handling costs, royalties associated with certain products, transaction banking costs, warehouse labor costs and depreciation on certain assets.
 
Note 4. Acquisitions and Business Combinations
 
The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method and allocates the total purchase price for acquired businesses to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values. When a business combination includes the exchange of the Company’s common stock, the value of the common stock is determined using the closing market price as of the date such shares were tendered to the selling parties. The fair values assigned to tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management or third-party estimates and assumptions that utilize established valuation techniques appropriate for the Company’s industry and each acquired business. Goodwill is recorded as the excess, if any, of the aggregate fair value of consideration exchanged for an acquired business over the fair value (measured as of the acquisition date) of total net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. A liability for contingent consideration, if applicable, is recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date. In determining the fair value of such contingent consideration, management estimates the amount to be paid based on probable outcomes and expectations on financial performance of the related acquired business. The fair value of contingent consideration is reassessed quarterly, with any change in the estimated value charged to operations in the period of the change. Increases or decreases in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations can result from changes in actual or estimated revenue streams, discount periods, discount rates and probabilities that contingencies will be met.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company entered into two acquisitions, which are detailed below. The acquisitions were conducted in an effort to expand the Company’s distributor network, enhance and expand its product portfolio, and diversify its product mix. As a result of the Company’s business combinations, the Company’s distributors and customers will have access to the acquired company’s products and acquired company’s distributors and clients will gain access to products offered by the Company. 
 
As such, the major purpose for all of the business combinations was to increase revenue and profitability. The acquisitions were structured as asset purchases which resulted in the recognition of certain intangible assets.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2018 the Company adjusted the purchase price for a 2017 acquisition which resulted in an adjustment to the related intangibles and contingent debt in the amount of $583,000. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2018 the Company removed the contingent debt associated with the Nature’s Pearl Corporation acquisition from 2016 due to a breach of the asset purchase agreement by Nature's Pearl and amended certain terms of the existing agreement. As a result the Company is no longer obligated under the related asset purchase agreement to make payments. The Company recorded a reduction to the acquisition debt in the amount of approximately $1,246,000 with a corresponding credit to general and administrative expense in the Statement of Operations.

2018 Acquisitions
 
Doctor’s Wellness Solutions Global LP (ViaViente)
 
On March 1, 2018, the Company acquired certain assets of Doctor’s Wellness Solutions Global LP (“ViaViente”). ViaViente is the distributor of The ViaViente Miracle, a highly-concentrated, energizing whole fruit puree blend that is rich in Anti-Oxidants and naturally-occurring vitamins and minerals. 
 
The Company is obligated to make monthly payments based on a percentage of the ViaViente distributor revenue derived from sales of the Company’s products and a percentage of royalty revenue derived from sales of ViaViente’s products until the earlier of the date that is five (5) years from the closing date or such time as the Company has paid to ViaViente aggregate cash payments of the ViaViente distributor revenue and royalty revenue equal to the maximum aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000.
 
The contingent consideration’s estimated fair value at the date of acquisition was $1,375,000 as determined by management using a discounted cash flow methodology. The acquisition related costs, such as legal costs and other professional fees were minimal and expensed as incurred.
 
The assets acquired were recorded at estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The fair values of the acquired assets have not been finalized pending further information that may impact the valuation of certain assets or liabilities. The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows (in thousands):
 
Intangibles
 $1,375 
Total purchase price
 $1,375 
 
The preliminary fair value of intangible assets acquired, which consisted of customer relationships, distributor organization and trademarks and tradenames was determined through the use of a discounted cash flow methodology are being amortized over their estimated useful life of ten (10) years using the straight-line method which is believed to approximate the time-line within which the economic benefit of the underlying intangible asset will be realized.
 
The Company expects to finalize the valuations within one (1) year from the acquisition date.
 
The revenue impact from the ViaViente acquisition, included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was approximately $512,000 and $691,000, respectively.

The contingent consideration’s estimated fair value at the date of acquisition was $1,085,000 as determined by management using a discounted cash flow methodology. The acquisition related costs, such as legal costs and other professional fees were minimal and expensed as incurred. The Company received approximately $90,000 of inventories from Nature Direct and has agreed to pay for the inventory and assumed liabilities of $50,000. This payment is applied to the maximum aggregate purchase price.

Note 5. Intangible Assets and Goodwill
 
Intangible Assets
 
Intangible assets are comprised of distributor organizations, trademarks and tradenames, customer relationships and internally developed software.  The Company's acquired intangible assets, which are subject to amortization over their estimated useful lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an intangible asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value.
 
Intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands):

Amortization expense related to intangible assets was approximately $1,692,000 and $1,335,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
 
Trade names, which do not have legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factors that limit the useful lives are considered indefinite lived assets and are not amortized but are tested for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, approximately $1,649,000 in trademarks from business combinations have been identified as having indefinite lives.

Goodwill is recorded as the excess, if any, of the aggregate fair value of consideration exchanged for an acquired business over the fair value (measured as of the acquisition date) of total net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other”, goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. The Company conducts annual reviews for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable.
 
The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that goodwill is impaired. After considering the totality of events and circumstances, the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that goodwill is not impaired.  If impairment is indicated, then the Company conducts the two-step impairment testing process. The first step compares the Company’s fair value to its net book value. If the fair value is less than the net book value, the second step of the test compares the implied fair value of the Company’s goodwill to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, the Company would recognize an impairment loss equal to that excess amount. The testing is generally performed at the “reporting unit” level. A reporting unit is the operating segment, or a business one level below that operating segment (referred to as a component) if discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by management at the component level. The Company has determined that its reporting units for goodwill impairment testing are the Company’s reportable segments. As such, the Company analyzes its goodwill balances separately for the commercial coffee reporting unit and the direct selling reporting unit. The goodwill balance as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $6,323,000. There were no triggering events indicating impairment of goodwill or intangible assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

July 2014 Private Placement
 
Between July 31, 2014 and September 10, 2014 the Company entered into Note Purchase Agreements related to the 2014 Private Placement with seven accredited investors pursuant to which the Company raised aggregate gross proceeds of $4,750,000 and sold units consisting of five (5) year senior secured convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $4,750,000 that are convertible into 678,568 shares of common stock, at a conversion price of $7.00 per share, and warrants to purchase 929,346 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.60 per share. The 2014 Notes bear interest at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum and interest is paid quarterly in arrears with all principal and unpaid interest due between July and September 2019. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 the principal amount of $4,750,000 remains outstanding.
 
The Company has the right to prepay the 2014 Notes at any time after the one-year anniversary date of the issuance of the 2014 Notes at a rate equal to 110% of the then outstanding principal balance and any unpaid accrued interest. The notes are secured by Company pledged assets and rank senior to all debt of the Company other than certain senior debt that has been previously identified as senior to the convertible notes debt. Additionally, Stephan Wallach, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, has also personally guaranteed the repayment of the 2014 Notes, subject to the terms of a Guaranty Agreement executed by him with the investors.  In addition, Mr. Wallach has agreed not to sell, transfer or pledge 1.5 million shares of the common stock that he owns so long as his personal guaranty is in effect.
 
The Company recorded debt discounts of $4,750,000 related to the beneficial conversion feature of $1,053,000 and $3,697,000 related to the detachable warrants. The beneficial conversion feature discount and the detachable warrants discount are amortized to interest expense over the life of the 2014 Notes. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the remaining balance of the debt discounts is approximately $1,030,000 and $1,504,000, respectively. The quarterly amortization of the debt discounts is approximately $237,000 and is recorded as interest expense.
 
With respect to the aggregate offering, the Company paid $490,000 in expenses including placement agent fees. The issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2014 Notes. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 the remaining balance of the issuance costs is approximately $105,000 and $155,000, respectively. The quarterly amortization of the issuance costs is approximately $25,000 and is recorded as interest expense.
 
Unamortized debt discounts and issuance costs are included with convertible notes payable, net of debt discount on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
 
November 2015 Private Placement
 
Between October 13, 2015 and November 25, 2015, the Company entered into Note Purchase Agreements related to the 2015 Private Placement with three (3) accredited investors pursuant to which the Company raised cash proceeds of $3,187,500 in the offering and converted $4,000,000 of debt from the Company’s private placement consummated in January 2015 to this offering in consideration of the sale of aggregate units consisting of three-year senior secured convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $7,187,500, convertible into 1,026,784 shares of common stock, at a conversion price of $7.00 per share, subject to adjustment as provided therein; and five-year warrants (the “2015 Warrants”) exercisable to purchase 479,166 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $9.00. The 2015 Notes bear interest at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum and interest is paid quarterly in arrears with all principal and unpaid interest due at maturity on October 12, 2018.
 
In connection with the 2017 Private Placement, three (3) investors from the 2015 Private Placement, converted their 2015 Notes in the aggregate amount of $4,200,349 including principal and accrued interest thereon into 2017 Notes for an equal principal amount in the 2017 Private Placement. The remaining principal balance in the 2015 Note of $3,000,000 remains outstanding as of June 30, 2018. The Company accounted for the conversion of the 2015 Notes as an extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470-20 and ASC 470-50 as such the related debt discounts and issuance costs were adjusted appropriately.
 
The Company recorded at issuance debt discounts associated with the 2015 Notes of $309,000 related to the beneficial conversion feature of $15,000 and $294,000 related to the detachable warrants. The beneficial conversion feature discount and the detachable warrants discount are amortized to interest expense over the life of the 2015 Notes. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 the remaining balances of the debt discounts is approximately $14,000 and $36,000 respectively. The quarterly amortization of the remaining debt discount is approximately $11,000 and is recorded as interest expense.

With respect to the aggregate offering, the Company paid $786,000 in expenses including placement agent fees. The issuance costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2015 Notes. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the remaining balance of the issuance cost is approximately $36,000 and $92,000, respectively. The quarterly amortization of the remaining issuance costs is approximately $28,000 and is recorded as interest expense.
 
In addition, the Company issued warrants to the placement agent in connection with the 2015 Notes which were valued at approximately $384,000. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the remaining balance of the warrant issuance cost is approximately $19,000 and $45,000, respectively. The quarterly amortization of the remaining warrant issuance costs is approximately $13,000 and is recorded as interest expense.
 
Unamortized debt discounts and issuance costs are included with convertible notes payable, net of debt discount on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
 
July 2017 Private Placement
 
Between July and August 2017, the Company entered into Note Purchase Agreements with accredited investors in the 2017 Private Placement pursuant to which the Company raised gross cash proceeds of $3,054,000 in the offering and converted $4,200,349 of debt from the 2015 Notes, including principal and accrued interest to the 2017 Private Placement for an aggregate principal amount of $7,254,349. The Company's use of the proceeds from the 2017 Private Placement was for working capital purposes.
 
The 2017 Notes automatically convert to common stock prior to the maturity date, as a result of the Company completing a common stock, preferred stock or other equity-linked securities with aggregate gross proceeds of no less than $3,000,000 for the purpose of raising capital.
 
On March 30, 2018, the Company completed the Series B Offering, pursuant to which the Company sold 381,173 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and received gross proceeds of $3,621,143, which triggered the automatic conversion of the 2017 Notes to common stock. The 2017 Notes consisted of three-year senior secured convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $7,254,349, which converted into 1,577,033 shares of common stock, at a conversion price of $4.60 per share, and three-year warrants exercisable to purchase 970,581 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $5.56 (the “2017 Warrants”). The 2017 Warrants were not impacted by the automatic conversion of the 2017 Notes.
 
The 2017 Notes maturity date was July 28, 2020 and bore interest at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. The Company had the right to prepay the 2017 Notes at any time after the one-year anniversary date of the issuance of the 2017 Notes at a rate equal to 110% of the then outstanding principal balance and accrued interest. The 2017 Notes provided for full ratchet price protection on the conversion price for a period of nine months after their issuance and subject to adjustments. For twelve (12) months following the closing, the investors in the 2017 Private Placement had the right to participate in any future equity financings, subject to certain conditions.
 
The Company accounted for the automatic conversion of the 2017 Notes as an extinguishment in accordance with ASC 470-20 and ASC 470-50, and as such the related debt discounts, issuance costs and bifurcated embedded conversion feature were adjusted as part of accounting for the conversion. The Company recorded a non-cash extinguishment loss on debt of $1,082,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 as a result of the conversion of the 2017 Notes. This loss represents the difference between the carrying value of the 2017 Notes and embedded conversion feature and the fair value of the shares that were issued. The fair value of the shares issued were based on the stock price on the date of the conversion. 
 
The Company paid a placement fee of $321,248, issued the placement agent three-year warrants to purchase 179,131 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.56 per share, and issued the placement agent 22,680 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
The Company recorded at issuance debt discounts associated with the 2017 Notes of $330,000 related to the bifurcated embedded conversion feature. The embedded conversion feature was being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2017 Notes. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 the Company recorded $28,000 of amortization related to the debt discount cost.
 
Upon issuance of the 2017 Notes, the Company recognized issuance costs of approximately $1,601,000, resulting from the allocated portion of offering proceeds to the separable warrant liabilities. The issuance costs were being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2017 Notes. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 the Company recorded $136,000 of amortization related to the warrant issuance cost. 
 
With respect to the aggregate offering, the Company paid $634,000 in issuance costs. The issuance costs were being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2017 Notes. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 the Company recorded $53,000 of amortization related to the issuance costs.

Note 7. Derivative Liability
 
The Company recognizes and measures the warrants and the embedded conversion features issued in conjunction with the Company’s July 2017, November 2015 and July 2014 Private Placements in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The accounting guidance sets forth a two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock, which would qualify such financial instruments for a scope exception. This scope exception specifies that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative financial instrument would not be considered as such if the contract is both (i) indexed to the entity’s own stock and (ii) classified in the stockholders’ equity section of the entity’s balance sheet. The Company determined that certain warrants and embedded conversion features issued in the Company’s private placements are ineligible for equity classification due to anti-dilution provisions set forth therein.
 
Derivative liabilities are recorded at their estimated fair value (see Note 8, below) at the issuance date and are revalued at each subsequent reporting date. The Company will continue to revalue the derivative liability on each subsequent balance sheet date until the securities to which the derivative liabilities relate are exercised or expire.
 
Various factors are considered in the pricing models the Company uses to value the derivative liabilities, including its current stock price, the remaining life, the volatility of its stock price, and the risk-free interest rate. Future changes in these factors may have a significant impact on the computed fair value of the liability. As such, the Company expects future changes in the fair values to continue and may vary significantly from period to period. The warrant and embedded liability and revaluations have not had a cash impact on working capital, liquidity or business operations.
 
Warrants
 
The estimated fair value of the outstanding warrant liabilities was $2,177,000 and $3,365,000 as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. 
 
In January 2018, the Company approved an amendment (the “Warrant Amendment”) to its warrant agreements issued to the placement agent, pursuant to which warrants were issued to purchase 179,131 shares of the Company’s common stock as compensation associated with the Company’s July 2017 Private Placement (see Note 6, above.) The Warrant Amendment amended the transfer provisions of the warrants and removed the down-round price protection provision. As a result of this change in terms, the Company considered the guidance of ASC 815-40-35-8 in regard to the appropriate treatment related to the modification of these warrants that were initially classified as derivative liabilities. In accordance with the guidance, the warrants should now be classified as equity instruments.
 
The Company determined that the liability associated with the warrants should be remeasured and adjusted to fair value on the date of the modification with the offset to be recorded through earnings and then the fair value of the warrants should be reclassified to equity. The Company recorded the change in the fair value of the July 2017 warrants as of the date of modification to earnings. The fair value of the modified warrants as of the date of modification, in the amount of $284,000 was reclassified from warrant derivative liability to additional paid in capital as a result of the change in classification of the warrants. The Company did not reverse any previous gains or losses associated with the warrant derivative liability during the period that the warrant was classified as a liability.
 
Increases or decreases in the fair value of the derivative liability are included as a component of total other expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the respective period. The changes to the derivative liability for warrants resulted in a decrease of $192,000 and an increase of $1,341,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The changes to the derivative liability for warrants resulted in a decrease of $904,000 and an increase of $731,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
 
The estimated fair value of the warrants was computed as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 using the Monte Carlo option pricing model, using the following assumptions:
 
 
 
June 30,
2018
 
 
December 31,

In addition, management assessed the probabilities of future financing assumptions in the valuation models.

Embedded Conversion Derivatives
 
Upon issuance of the 2017 Notes, the Company recorded an embedded conversion option which was classified as a derivative of $330,000.
 
The estimated fair value of the embedded conversion option was $200,000 as of December 31, 2017 and was a component of Convertible Notes Payable, net on the Company’s balance sheet using the following assumptions; stock price $4.13, conversion price $4.60, stock price volatility 60.98%-61.31%, risk-free rate 1.9%, and expected life 2.57-2.63.
 
On March 30, 2018, the Company completed the Series B Offering and raised in excess of $3,000,000 of gross proceeds which triggered an automatic conversion of the 2017 Notes to common stock. As a result, the related embedded conversion option was extinguished with the 2017 Notes (see Note 6, above). The Company did not revalue the embedded conversion liability associated with the 2017 Notes as of March 30, 2018 as the change in the fair value was insignificant.
 
Note 8.   Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Fair value measurements are performed in accordance with the guidance provided by ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or parameters are not available, valuation models are applied.
 
ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the financial statements are categorized based upon the hierarchy of levels of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:
  
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.
 
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
 
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supportable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.
 
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, capital lease obligations and deferred revenue approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The carrying amount of the Company’s long-term notes payable approximates its fair value based on interest rates available to the Company for similar debt instruments and similar remaining maturities.
 
The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration related to the Company's business combinations is recorded using significant unobservable measures and other fair value inputs and is therefore classified as a Level 3 financial instrument.
 
In connection with the Company’s Private Placements, the Company issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock and recorded embedded conversion features which are accounted for as derivative liabilities (see Note 6 and 7 above.) The estimated fair value of the derivatives is recorded using significant unobservable measures and other fair value inputs and is therefore classified as a Level 3 financial instrument.

The fair value of the contingent acquisition liabilities is evaluated each reporting period using projected revenues, discount rates, and projected timing of revenues. Projected contingent payment amounts are discounted back to the current period using a discount rate. Projected revenues are based on the Company’s most recent internal operational budgets and long-range strategic plans. In some cases, there is no maximum amount of contingent consideration that can be earned by the sellers. Increases in projected revenues will result in higher fair value measurements. Increases in discount rates and the time to payment will result in lower fair value measurements. Increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation may result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 the net adjustment to the fair value of the contingent acquisition debt was a decrease of $1,246,000 and $1,459,000, respectively. The decrease of $1,246,000 was a result of the removal of the contingent debt associated with its Nature’s Pearl Corporation acquisition from 2016 whereby the Company was no longer obligated under the related asset purchase agreement to make payments (see Note 4, above).
 
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 the net adjustment to the change in the fair value of contingent acquisition debt was a decrease of $680,000.

Warrant Modification Agreements

The Warrant Amendment amended the transfer provisions of the warrants and removed the down-round price protection provision. As a result of this change in terms, the Company considered the guidance of ASC 815-40-35-8 in regard to the appropriate treatment related to the modification of these warrants that were initially classified as derivative liabilities. In accordance with the guidance, the warrants should now be classified as equity instruments (see Note 7, above.)

The weighted-average fair value per share of the granted options for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was approximately $3.08. There were no options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2018.
 
Stock-based compensation expense included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations was $123,000 and $358,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $245,000 and $485,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
 
As of June 30, 2018, there was approximately $1,298,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options granted under the Plan. The expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.04 years.
 
The Company uses the Black-Scholes to estimate the fair value of stock options. 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 expected term of the option. The expected life is based on the contractual life of the option and expected employee exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior. 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. 
 
Restricted Stock Units
 
On August 9, 2017, the Company issued restricted stock units for an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock, to its employees and consultants. These shares of common stock will be issued upon vesting of the restricted stock units. Full vesting occurs on the sixth-year anniversary of the grant date, with 10% vesting on the third-year, 15% on the fourth-year, 50% on the fifth-year and 25% on the sixth-year anniversary of the vesting commencement date.
 
The fair value of each restricted stock unit issued to employees is based on the closing stock price on the grant date of $4.53 and restricted stock units issued to consultants are revalued as they vest and is recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the vesting term of the award.

Overview
 
We operate in two segments: the direct selling segment where products are offered through a global distribution network of preferred customers and distributors and the commercial coffee segment where products are sold directly to businesses.
 
In the direct selling segment, we sell health and wellness products on a global basis and offer a wide range of products through an international direct selling network of independent distributors. Our multiple independent selling forces sell a variety of products through friend-to-friend marketing and social networking.  
 
We also engage in the commercial sale of coffee.

CLR produces coffee under a variety of private labels through major national sales outlets and major customers including cruise lines and office coffee service operators. During fiscal 2014 CLR acquired the Siles Plantation Family Group, a coffee plantation and dry-processing facility located in Matagalpa, Nicaragua, an ideal coffee growing region that is historically known for high quality coffee production. The dry-processing facility is approximately 26 acres and the plantation is approximately 500 acres and produces 100 percent Arabica coffee beans that are shade grown, Rainforest Alliance Certified™ and Fair Trade Certified™. The plantation, dry-processing facility and existing U.S. based coffee roaster facilities allows CLR to control the coffee production process from field to cup.
 
We conduct our operations primarily in the United States. For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 approximately 14% and 10%, respectively, of our sales were derived from sales outside the United States.

Revenues
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2018, our revenues increased 6.6% to $44,255,000 as compared $41,527,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we derived approximately 83% of our revenue from our direct selling sales and approximately 17% of our revenue from our commercial coffee sales. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, direct selling segment revenues increased by $1,308,000 or 3.7% to $36,846,000 as compared to $35,538,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was primarily attributed to revenues from new acquisitions of $2,783,000, offset by a decrease of $1,475,000 in revenues from existing business. Direct selling revenues were also affected by price increases on certain products that went into effect on January 1, 2018. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, commercial coffee segment revenues increased by $1,420,000 or 23.7% to $7,409,000 as compared to $5,989,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was primarily attributed to increased revenues of $1,168,000 from our green coffee business.

Cost of Revenues
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2018, overall cost of revenues increased approximately 8.3% to $18,873,000 as compared to $17,425,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The direct selling segment cost of revenues increased 3.7% to $11,759,000 when compared to the same period last year, primarily as a result of an increase in reserve for obsolete inventory, offset by a slight reduction in shipping costs and royalty expense. The commercial coffee segment cost of revenues increased 17.0% to 7,114,000 when compared to the same period last year. This was primarily attributable to the increase in revenues related to the green coffee business and the roaster business and an increase in depreciation expense.
 
Cost of revenues includes the cost of inventory including green coffee, shipping and handling costs incurred in connection with shipments to customers, direct labor and benefits costs, royalties associated with certain products, transaction merchant fees and depreciation on certain assets.
 
Gross Profit
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2018, gross profit increased approximately 5.3% to $25,382,000 as compared to $24,102,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Overall gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased to 57.4%, compared to 58.0% in the same period last year.
 
Gross profit in the direct selling segment increased by 3.7% to $25,087,000 from $24,195,000 in the prior period primarily as a result of the increase in revenues, offset by the increase in cost of sales discussed above. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues in the direct selling segment remained at 68.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.
 
Gross profit in the commercial coffee segment increased to $295,000 compared to a loss of $93,000 in the prior period. The increase in gross profit in the commercial coffee segment was primarily due to improved green coffee margins on larger volume sales. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues in the commercial coffee segment increased by 5.6% to 4.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to a negative 1.6% in the same period last year.

Operating Expenses
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2018, our operating expenses decreased 0.2% to $24,729,000 as compared to $24,778,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017.
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2018, the distributor compensation paid to our independent distributors in the direct selling segment decreased 1.2% to $16,487,000 from $16,686,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. This decrease was primarily attributable to the price increases reflected in revenues, which did not impact commissionable base revenues. Distributor compensation as a percentage of direct selling revenues decreased to 44.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to 47.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2017.
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2018, the sales and marketing expense increased 6.0% to $3,076,000 from $2,901,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. In the direct selling segment, sales and marketing costs increased by 5.1% to $2,849,000 in the current quarter from $2,710,000 for the same period last year. This was primarily due to the Asia convention that was held in Malaysia. In the commercial coffee segment, sales and marketing costs increased by $36,000 to $227,000 in the current quarter from $191,000 for the same period last year, primarily due to increased advertising and promotion costs.
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2018, the general and administrative expense decreased 0.5% to $5,166,000 from $5,191,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 primarily due to contingent liability revaluation that resulted in a benefit of $1,246,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to a benefit of $680,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The revaluation in the current quarter was as a result of eliminating the contingent liability related to an acquisition due to breach of the asset purchase agreement by the seller. This decrease was offset by increases in information technology (IT) consulting costs, amortization costs, investor relations, salaries and other related costs, legal fees and accounting costs.
 
Operating Income (Loss)
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2018, operating income increased by $1,329,000 to $653,000 as compared to an operating loss of $676,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. This was primarily due to the increase in gross profit of $1,280,000 and the decrease in operating expenses of $49,000 discussed above. 
 
Total Other Expense
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2018, total other expense decreased by $1,242,000 to $1,357,000 as compared to $2,599,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Total other expense includes net interest expense and the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities.
 
Net interest expense increased by $291,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $1,549,000 compared to $1,258,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Interest expense includes the imputed interest portion of the payments related to contingent acquisition debt of $605,000, interest payments to investors associated with our Private Placement transactions of $208,000 and interest paid for other operating debt of $423,000. Non-cash interest primarily related to amortization costs of $314,000 and $6,000 of other non-cash interest, offset by interest income of $7,000.
 
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities decreased by $1,533,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to a $192,000 benefit compared to $1,341,000 expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017. Various factors are considered in the pricing models we use to value the warrants including our current stock price, the remaining life of the warrants, the volatility of our stock price, and the risk-free interest rate. Future changes in these factors may have a significant impact on the computed fair value of derivative liabilities. As such, we expect future changes in the fair value of the warrants and may vary significantly from period to period (see Notes 7 & 8, to the condensed consolidated financial statements).

Income Taxes 
 
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using statutory 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 from a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the effective date of the change. We have determined through consideration of all positive and negative evidences that the deferred tax assets are not more likely than not to be realized. A valuation allowance remains on the U.S., state and foreign tax attributes that are likely to expire before realization. We have approximately $272,400 in AMT refundable credits, and we expect that $136,200 will be refunded in 2018. As such, we do not have a valuation allowance relating to the refundable AMT credit carryforward. We have recognized an income tax benefit of $90,000, which is our estimated federal, state and foreign income tax adjustment for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to reflect the proper estimated tax provision year-to-date.
 
Net Loss
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2018, we reported a net loss of $614,000 as compared to net loss of $2,730,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The primary reason for the decrease in net loss when compared to the prior period was due to a net loss before income taxes of $704,000 in the current period compared to net loss before income taxes of $3,275,000 for the same period in the prior year and an income tax benefit of $90,000 in the current quarter compared to income tax benefit of $545,000 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in net loss before income taxes was a result of the decreases in other expense and operating expense and an increase in gross profit.

Revenues
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, our revenues increased 8.7% to $87,249,000 as compared to $80,260,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we derived approximately 83% of our revenue from our direct selling sales and approximately 17% of our revenue from our commercial coffee sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, direct selling segment revenues increased by $3,377,000 or 4.9% to $72,157,000 as compared to $68,780,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was primarily attributed to revenues from new acquisitions of $5,645,000, offset by a decrease of $2,268,000 in revenues from existing business. Direct selling revenues were also affected by price increases on certain products that went into effect on January 1, 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, commercial coffee segment revenues increased by $3,612,000 or 31.5% to $15,092,000 as compared to $11,480,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. This increase was primarily attributed to increased revenues from our green coffee business.

Cost of Revenues
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, overall cost of revenues increased approximately 7.5% to $36,855,000 as compared to $34,292,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The direct selling segment cost of revenues decreased 1.7% when compared to the same period last year, primarily as a result of lower product costs as compared to product cost in the same period last year, offset by an increase in reserve for obsolete inventory. The decrease in cost of sales was also attributable to lower shipping costs, royalties and wages during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The commercial coffee segment cost of revenues increased 25.6% when compared to the same period last year. This was primarily attributable to increases in revenues related to the green coffee business and additional costs related to green coffee procurement costs and depreciation expense.

Cost of revenues includes the cost of inventory including green coffee, shipping and handling costs incurred in connection with shipments to customers, direct labor and benefits costs, royalties associated with certain products, transaction merchant fees and depreciation on certain assets.
 
Gross Profit
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, gross profit increased approximately 9.6% to $50,394,000 as compared to $45,968,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Overall gross profit as a percentage of revenues increased to 57.8%, compared to 57.3% in the same period last year.
 
Gross profit in the direct selling segment increased by 8.2% to $49,822,000 from $46,050,000 in the prior period primarily as a result of the increase in revenues and the lower cost of sales discussed above. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues in the direct selling segment increased by approximately 2.0% to 69.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to 67.0% in the same period last year. This increase was primarily due to the price increases on certain products that went into effect on January 1, 2018 and changes to our product sales mix.
 
Gross profit in the commercial coffee segment increased to $572,000 compared to a loss of $82,000 in the prior period. The increase in gross profit in the commercial coffee segment was primarily due to improved green coffee margins on larger volume sales. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues in the commercial coffee segment increased by 4.5% to 3.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to a negative 0.7% in the same period last year.

Operating Expenses
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, our operating expenses increased 1.4% to $49,717,000 as compared to $49,044,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the distributor compensation paid to our independent distributors in the direct selling segment decreased 0.1% to $32,065,000 from $32,105,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. This decrease was primarily attributable to the price increases reflected in revenues, which did not impact commissionable base revenues. Distributor compensation as a percentage of direct selling revenues decreased to 44.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to 46.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2017.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the sales and marketing expense decreased by $1,000 to $6,575,000 from $6,576,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. In the direct selling segment, sales and marketing costs decreased by 2.6% to $6,141,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $6,303,000 for the same period last year. This was primarily due to reduction in distributor events in the first quarter of 2018 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017, partially offset by Asia convention cost held in Malaysia during the second quarter of 2018 and increased compensation expense. In the commercial coffee segment, sales and marketing costs increased by $161,000 to $434,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $273,000 for the same period last year, primarily due to increased advertising and promotion costs and compensation expense.
  
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the general and administrative expense increased 6.9% to $11,077,000 from $10,363,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017.  The increase in general and administrative expense was also due to increases in cost related to Russia, Mexico and Taiwan and New Zealand, depreciation and amortization costs, investor relations, salaries and other related costs, legal fees and accounting costs. Increases in general and administrative expense was offset primarily due to contingent liability revaluation that resulted in a benefit of $1,459,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to a benefit of $680,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The revaluation in the current year was primarily a result of eliminating the contingent liability related to an acquisition due to breach of the asset purchase agreement by the seller.

Operating Income (Loss)
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, operating income (loss) increased $3,753,000 to operating income of $677,000 as compared to an operating loss of $3,076,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. This was primarily due to the increase in gross profit of $4,426,000, offset by a slight increase in operating expenses of $673,000 discussed above. 
 
Total Other Expense
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, total other expense increased by $253,000 to $3,439,000 as compared to $3,186,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Total other expense includes net interest expense, the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities and extinguishment loss on debt.
 
Net interest expense increased by $806,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $3,261,000 compared to $2,455,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Interest expense includes the imputed interest portion of the payments related to contingent acquisition debt of $1,188,000, interest payments to investors associated with our Private Placement transactions of $504,000 and interest paid for other operating debt of $735,000. Non-cash interest primarily related to amortization costs of $844,000 and $15,000 of other non-cash interest, offset by interest income of $25,000.
 
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities was a benefit of $904,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $731,000 expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Various factors are considered in the pricing models we use to value the warrants including our current stock price, the remaining life of the warrants, the volatility of our stock price, and the risk-free interest rate. Future changes in these factors may have a significant impact on the computed fair value of derivative liabilities. As such, we expect future changes in the fair value of the warrants and may vary significantly from period to period (see Notes 7 & 8, to the condensed consolidated financial statements).
 
We recorded a non-cash extinguishment loss on debt of $1,082,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as a result of the triggering of the automatic conversion of the 2017 Notes associated with our July 2017 Private Placement to common stock. This loss represents the difference between the carrying value of the 2017 Notes and embedded conversion feature and the fair value of the shares that were issued. The fair value of the shares issued were based on the stock price on the date of the conversion. (See Note 6, to the condensed consolidated financial statements).
 
Income Taxes 
 
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using statutory 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 from a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the effective date of the change. We have determined through consideration of all positive and negative evidences that the deferred tax assets are not more likely than not to be realized. A valuation allowance remains on the U.S., state and foreign tax attributes that are likely to expire before realization. We have approximately $272,400 in AMT refundable credits, and we expect that $136,200 will be refunded in 2018. As such, we do not have a valuation allowance relating to the refundable AMT credit carryforward. We have recognized an income tax expense of $160,000 which is our estimated federal, state and foreign income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate of 21% is due to the permanent differences, change in valuation allowance, state taxes (net of federal benefit), and foreign tax rate differential.
 
Net Loss
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we reported a net loss of $2,922,000 as compared to net loss of $4,789,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The primary reason for the decrease in net loss when compared to the prior period was due to a net loss before income taxes of $2,762,000 in the current period compared to net loss before income taxes of $6,262,000 for the same period in the prior year and income tax expense of $160,000 in the current year compared to income tax benefit of $1,473,000 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in net loss before income taxes was a result of the increase in gross profit offset by increases in other expense and operating expense,

Adjusted EBITDA
 
EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) as adjusted to remove the effect of stock-based compensation expense and the non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt and the change in the fair value of the derivatives or "Adjusted EBITDA," increased to $2,203,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $745,000 in 2017 and increased to $3,723,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to a negative $492,000 in 2017.
 
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with our results under GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations, provides useful information about our period-over-period growth. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because management believes it provides additional information with respect to the performance of our fundamental business activities and is also frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of comparable companies. We also rely on Adjusted EBITDA as a primary measure to review and assess the operating performance of our company and our management team.
 
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. We calculate adjusted EBITDA by taking net income, and adding back the expenses related to interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation expense and the non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt and the change in the fair value of the warrant derivative, as each of those elements are calculated in accordance with GAAP.  Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as a substitute for net income (loss) (as determined in accordance with GAAP) for the purpose of analyzing our operating performance or financial position, as Adjusted EBITDA is not defined by GAAP.
 
A reconciliation of our adjusted EBITDA to net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 is included in the table below (in thousands):

Future Liquidity Needs
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared and presented on a basis assuming we will continue as a going concern. We have sustained significant net losses during the six months ended June 30, 2018 of $2,922,000. Net cash used in operating activities was $1,676,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $176,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. We do not currently believe that our existing cash resources are sufficient to meet our anticipated needs over the next twelve months from the date hereof. Based on our current cash levels and our current rate of cash requirements, we will need to raise additional capital and/or will need to further reduce our expenses from current levels. We do not currently have any commitments from any third parties to provide us with capital. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
We increased our Crestmark line of credit during the fourth quarter of 2017 and raised additional capital through our Series B Offering that closed March 30, 2018; however, despite such actions, we do not believe that that our existing cash resources are sufficient to meet our anticipated needs over the next twelve months from the date hereof. We are also considering additional alternatives, including, but not limited to equity financings and debt financings. Depending on market conditions, we cannot be sure that additional capital will be available when needed or that, if available, it will be obtained on terms favorable to us or to our stockholders.
 
On July 31, 2018, CLR entered into a 5-year contract for the sale and processing of over 41 million pounds of green coffee on an annual basis. Revenue for this contract covers the period 2019 through 2023 with first shipments expected to begin in January of 2019.
 
On July 18, 2018, we entered into lending agreements with three separate entities and received loans in the total amount of $2 million to be paid back with periodic payments, including accrued interest, over an 8-month period.
  
We anticipate revenues to continue to grow and we intend to make necessary cost reductions related to our international operations that are not performing and reduce non-essential expenses.
 
Failure to raise additional funds from the issuance of equity securities and failure to implement cost reductions could adversely affect our ability to operate as a going concern. There can be no assurance that any cost reductions, implemented will correct our going concern issue. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
There were no off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2018.
 
Contractual Obligations
 
There were no material changes from those disclosed in our most recent annual report.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Information with respect to our critical accounting policies which we believe could have the most significant effect on our reported results and require subjective or complex judgments by management is contained in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Recent accounting pronouncements are disclosed in Note 1 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.   
 
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
As a Smaller Reporting Company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information requested by this Item 3 of Part I.
 
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
 
(a) 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2018, the end of the quarterly fiscal period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2018, such disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
(b)
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our second quarter of fiscal year 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
We are from time to time, the subject of claims and suits arising out of matters related to our business. We are a party to litigation at the present time and may become party to litigation in the future. In general, litigation claims can be expensive, and time consuming to bring or defend against and could result in settlements or damages that could significantly affect financial results. It is not possible to predict the final resolution of the current litigation to which we are party to, and the impact of certain of these matters on our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be material. Regardless of the outcome, litigation has adversely impacted our business because of defense costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
 
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
 
Any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Investors should carefully consider the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2018, and all of the information contained in our public filings before deciding whether to purchase our common stock. The following information and updates should be read in conjunction with the information disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2018. Except as set forth below, there have been no material revisions to the “Risk Factors” as set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 30, 2018.
 
There is substantial risk about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing.
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2018 have been prepared and presented on a basis assuming we will continue as a going concern. The Company has sustained significant net losses during the six months ended June 30, 2018 of $2,922,000 and $4,789,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Net cash used in operating activities was $1,676,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $176,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The Company does not currently believe that its existing cash resources are sufficient to meet the Company’s anticipated needs over the next twelve months from the date hereof. Based on our current cash levels as of June 30, 2018, our current rate of cash requirements, we will need to raise additional capital and/or will need to reduce our expenses from current levels to be able to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that we can raise capital upon favorable terms, if at all, or that we can reduce our expenses.
 
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we issued 50,000 shares of restricted common stock in connection with this agreement. The issuance of the stock was exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act under the exemption provided for by Section 4(a)(2) thereof for transactions not involving public offerings.
