Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenue, projected costs, prospects, plans, objectives of management and expected market growth, are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

 

The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “potential,” “contemplate,” “anticipate,” “goals,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements about our plans and ability to raise additional capital, including through equity offerings, debt financings, or other arrangements, and the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business operations.

 

These forward-looking statements are only predictions and we may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Twinlab Consolidated Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

(amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

 

Note 1 Nature of Business

 

Nature of Business

 

Twinlab Consolidated Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”, “Twinlab,” “we,” “our” and “us”) was incorporated on October 24, 2013 under the laws of the State of Nevada as Mirror Me, Inc. On August 7, 2014, we amended our articles of incorporation and changed our name to Twinlab Consolidated Holdings, Inc.

 

We are an integrated marketer, distributor and retailer of branded nutritional supplements and other natural products sold to and through domestic health and natural food stores, mass market retailers, specialty stores retailers, on-line retailers and websites. Internationally, we market and distribute branded nutritional supplements and other natural products to and through health and natural product distributors and retailers.

 

Our products include vitamins, minerals, specialty supplements and sports nutrition products sold under the Twinlab brand name, a market leader in the healthy aging and beauty from within categories sold under the Reserveage Nutrition and ResVitale® brand names; diet and energy products sold under the Metabolife brand name; the Re-Body brand name; and a full line of herbal teas sold under the Alvita brand name. To accommodate consumer preferences, our products come in various formulations and delivery forms, including capsules, tablets, softgels, chewables, liquids, sprays and powders. These products are sold primarily through health and natural food stores and on-line retailers, supermarkets, and mass-market retailers. 

 

We also perform contract manufacturing services for private label products through NutraScience Labs. Our contract manufacturing services business involves the manufacture of custom products to the specifications of a customer who requires finished product under the customer’s own brand name. We do not market these private label products as our business is to sell the products to the customer, who then markets and sells the products to retailers or end consumers.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of operations and realization of assets and liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As of March 31, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $332,879. Historical losses are primarily attributable to lower than planned sales resulting from low fill rates on demand due to limitations of our working capital, delayed product introductions and postponed marketing activities, merger-related and other restructuring costs, and interest and refinancing charges associated with our debt refinancing. Losses have been funded primarily through debt.

 

Because of our history of operating losses and significant interest expense on our debt we have a working capital deficiency of $113,712 as of March 31, 2021. We also have $100,081 of debt, net of discount, presented in current liabilities. These continuing conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management has addressed operating issues through the following actions: focusing on growing the core business and brands; continuing emphasis on major customers and key products; reducing operating costs that include significant workforce and salary expense reduction and continuing to negotiate lower prices from major suppliers.  We believe that we may need additional capital to execute our business plan. If additional funding is required, there can be no assurance that sources of funding will be available when needed on acceptable terms or at all. To meet capital requirements, the Company may consider selling certain assets or seeking financing through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing agreements.

 

 

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Except as described herein, there have been no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, within the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” accompanying the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and as required by Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 16, 2021. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. All amounts and disclosures set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect adoption of these changes.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant management estimates include those with respect to returns and allowances, allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves for inventory obsolescence, the recoverability of long-lived assets, intangibles and goodwill and the estimated value of warrants and derivative liabilities.

 

Contract Liabilities

 

Our contract liabilities consist of customer deposits and contractual guaranteed returns. Net contract liabilities are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and consisted of the following:

 

 

   

March 31, 2021

   

December 31, 2020

 

Contract Liabilities - Customer Deposits

  $ 4,895     $ 3,874  

Contract Liabilities - Guaranteed Returns

    60       60  
    $ 4,955     $ 3,934  

 

Disaggregation of Revenue

 

Revenue is disaggregated from contracts with customers by goods or services as we believe it best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. See details in the tables below.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

We apply the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

 

Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

6

 

Level 2 – inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 – inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the underlying asset or liability.

 

The Company did not have any financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowances

 

We grant credit to customers and generally do not require collateral or other security. We perform credit evaluations of our customers and provide for expected claims related to promotional items, customer discounts, shipping shortages, damages, and doubtful accounts based upon historical bad debt and claims experience. As of March 31, 2021, total allowances amounted to $2,642, of which $1,544 was related to doubtful accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2020, total allowances amounted to $2,101, of which $1,127 was related to doubtful accounts receivable.

 

Net Loss per Common Share

 

Basic net loss per common share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share (“Diluted EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the dilutive potential common shares then outstanding. Potential dilutive common share equivalents consist of total shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants to acquire common stock using the treasury stock method and the average market price per share during the period. 

 

When calculating diluted loss per share, if the effects are dilutive, companies are required to add back to net loss the effects of the change in derivative liabilities related to warrants. Additionally, if the effects of the change in derivative liabilities are added back to net loss, companies are required to include the warrants outstanding related to the derivative liability in the calculation of the weighted average dilutive shares.

The common shares used in the computation of our basic and diluted net loss per share are reconciled as follows:

New and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“the FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to record most leases on the balance sheet and recognize the expenses on the income statement in a manner similar to current practice. ASU 2016-02 states that a lessee would recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-to-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For public entities, the new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within that reporting period. For all other entities, this standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach as of January 1, 2020, with the effective date as of the date of initial application. The Company elected the practical expedients available under the provisions of the new standard, including: not reassessing whether expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; not reassessing the classification of expired or existing leases; and not reassessing the initial direct cost for any existing leases. The Company also elected the practical expedient allowing the use of hindsight in determining the lease term and assessing impairment of right-of-use assets based on all facts and circumstances through the effective date of the new standard. Upon adoption, and prior to Q1 2020 activity, the Company recognized cumulative operating lease liabilities of $6.1 million and operating right-of-use assets of $5.5 million.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments- Credit losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Our status as a smaller reporting company allows us to defer adoption until the annual period, including interim periods within the annual period, beginning January 1, 2023. Management is currently evaluating the requirements of this guidance and has not yet determined the impact of the adoption on the Company's financial position or results from operations.

The Term Loan accrues interest at the interest rate equivalent to the one-month LIBOR Rate plus 1.00% (the interest rate will not be less than 2.50%; the rate was 2.50% as of March 31, 2021). After the maturity date or upon the occurrence or continuation of an event of default, the unpaid principal balance shall bear interest at the interest rate of the note plus 3.00%. The note is secured by the Limited Guaranty, defined below, and is subordinate to the indebtedness owed to MidCap.

 

In connection with the Term Loan, 463IP has entered into a limited guaranty, dated as of December 4, 2018, in favor of Macatawa (the "Limited Guaranty") pursuant to which it has agreed to guarantee payment under the Term Loan and any and all renewals of the Term Loan and all interest accrued on such indebtedness limited to $15,000 plus any accrued interest. 

 

Senior Credit Facility with Midcap

 

On January 22, 2015, we entered into a three-year $15,000 revolving credit facility (the “Senior Credit Facility”) pursuant to a credit and security agreement, based on our accounts receivable and inventory, which could be increased to up to $20,000 upon satisfaction of certain conditions, with MidCap. MidCap subsequently assigned the agreement to an affiliate, Midcap Funding X Trust.

 

On September 2, 2016, we entered into an amendment with Midcap to increase the Senior Credit Facility to $17,000 and extend our facility an additional 12 months. We granted MidCap a first priority security interest in certain of our assets and pledged the shares of our subsidiaries as security for amounts owed under the Senior Credit Facility. We are required to pay Midcap an unused line fee of 0.50% per annum, a collateral management fee of 1.20% per month and interest of LIBOR plus 5% per annum, which was 5% per annum as of March 31, 2021. We issued a warrant to Midcap to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (see Midcap Warrant in Note 6).

 

On January 22, 2019, we entered into Amendment Sixteen to the Credit and Security Agreement (the "MidCap Sixteenth Amendment"). The MidCap Sixteenth Amendment reduced the revolving credit facility amount from a total of $17,000 to a total of $5,000 and extended the expiration date from January 22, 2019 to April 22, 2019.

 

On February 13, 2019, MidCap informed the Company that MidCap had re-assigned all of its rights, powers, privileges and duties as “Agent” under the Credit and Security Agreement, as well as all of its right, title and interest in and to the revolving loans made under the facility from Midcap Funding X Trust to MidCap IV Funding.

 

On April 22, 2019, we entered into Amendment Seventeen to the Credit and Security Agreement (the "MidCap Seventeenth Amendment"), which effectively increased the revolving credit facility amount to $12,000 and renewed the Senior Credit Facility for an additional two years expiring on April 22, 2021.

 

On April 22, 2021, we entered into Amendment Eighteen to the Credit and Security Agreement (the "MidCap Eighteenth Amendment"), which effectively updated the unused line fee to 0.375% per annum, updated the interest rates to 3.75% per annum, and renewed the Senior Credit Facility for an additional three years expiring on April 22, 2024 (See Subsequent Events in Note 9). 

 

We have incurred loan fees totaling $540 relating to the Senior Credit Facility and the subsequent amendments, which is also being amortized into interest expense over the term of the Senior Credit Facility. The balance owed on the Senior Credit Facility was $7,518 as of March 31, 2021.

Note 7 Leases

 

The Company leases office space under non-cancelable operating leases with lease terms ranging from 1 to 7 years. These leases require monthly lease payments that may be subject to annual increases throughout the lease term.  Certain of these leases also include renewal options at the election of the Company to renew or extend the lease for an additional 2 to 5 years. These optional periods have not been considered in the determination of the right-of-use assets or lease liabilities associated with these leases as the Company did not consider it reasonably certain it would exercise the options. The Company performed evaluations of its contracts and determined each of its identified leases are operating leases. On February 18th, 2021, a lease was extended for 5 years, resulting in the Company recognizing an additional operating lease liability of $908 and operating right-of-use asset of $908.

 

19

 

In April 2021, the Company entered into a lease agreement for office space commencing on May 1, 2021, for a period of 5 years and 2 months, ending in July 2026, for a base annual rent of $192, with escalation clauses. The Company has the option to extend the lease for a period of 3 years. Additionally, the Company will be responsible for its share of taxes and common area maintenance expenses. This lease is not included on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2021 or in the tables below (See Subsequent Events in Note 9).

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, the Company incurred $199 and $198, respectively, of lease expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations in relation to these operating leases, of which $81 and $70 was variable rent expense associated with capitalized operating leases and not included within the measurement of the Company's operating right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The variable rent expense consists primarily of the Company's proportionate share of operating expenses, property taxes, and insurance and is classified as lease expense due to the Company's election to not separate lease and non-lease components.  

 

As of March 31, 2021, the maturities of the Company’s lease liabilities were as follows:

 

2021 (excluding the three months ended March 31, 2021)

  $ 942

Twinlab Consolidation Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan

 

The Twinlab Consolidation Corporation 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “TCC Plan”) was originally established with a pool of 20,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance as incentive awards to employees for the purposes of attracting and retaining qualified employees. The Company estimated the grant date fair market value per share of the restricted stock units and amortized the total estimated grant date value over the vesting periods. The restricted stock unit awards vested 25% each annually on various dates through 2019. There were no outstanding or unvested restricted stock units at December 31, 2020 or March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, 7,194,412 shares remain available for use in the TCC Plan.

NOTE 9 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

COVID-19

 

The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business and geographies, including how it will impact its customers and business partners. While the Company did not incur significant disruptions during the period ended March 31, 2021 from the COVID-19 pandemic, it is unable to predict the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on its financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties.

 

Internal Investigation

 

On May 14th, 2021, the Company announced that an internal investigation had discovered that a recently terminated employee in the Company’s accounting department had been embezzling Company funds. Preliminary findings indicate losses of approximately $500,000 occurring between 2016 and 2021.  We believe the employee had taken advantage of a complex consolidation process between multiple ERP systems, a lack of segregation of duties, weak internal controls, and a lack of managerial oversight.

 

Leases

 

On April 22, 2021, NutraScience Labs entered into a five-year lease agreement with JRD Realty, LLC, for 13,500 square feet of warehouse space in Hauppague, New York. Occupancy of the property commences on May 1, 2021 and concludes on July 31, 2026, with total rent to be paid over this period of $957,028.

 

Legal

 

On May 7, 2021, the Company settled Paula Maietta v. Re-Body, LLC, Case No. 5:20-cv-00691-JGB-KK, in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California for $50,000.

Item 2.   Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts and number of employees)

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on April 16, 2021. This discussion and analysis and other parts of this Quarterly Report contain forward-looking statements based upon current beliefs, plans and expectations that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact, including statements regarding guidance, industry prospects or future results of operations or financial position made in this report are forward-looking. We often use words such as anticipates, believes, estimates, expects, intends, predicts, hopes, should, plans, will and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on managements current expectations and accordingly are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Actual results may vary materially from the expectations contained herein due to various important factors, including (but not limited to): the impact of the COVID pandemic; consumer preferences, spending and debt levels; the general economic and credit environment; interest rates; variations in consumer purchasing activities; competitive pressures on sales; the loss of a significant customer or material reduction of business with a significant customer; pricing and gross sales margins; the associated fees or estimated cost savings from contract renegotiations; and our ability to establish and maintain acceptable commercial terms with contract manufacturers. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements except as required by law.

 

Overview 

 

We are an integrated formulator, marketer, distributor and retailer of branded nutritional supplements and other natural products sold to and through domestic health and natural food stores, mass market retailers, specialty retailers, on-line retailers and websites. Internationally, we market and distribute branded nutritional supplements and other natural products to and through health and natural product distributors and retailers.

 

Our products include vitamins, minerals, specialty supplements and sports nutrition products primarily under the Twinlab®, Reserveage and ResVitale ® brands. We also formulate, market and sell diet and energy products under the Metabolife® brand and a full line of herbal teas under the Alvita® brand. To accommodate consumer preferences, our products come in various formulations and delivery forms, including capsules, tablets, softgels, chewables, liquids, sprays, powders and whole herbs. These products are sold primarily through health and natural food stores and on-line retailers, supermarkets, and mass-market retailers.

 

We also perform contract manufacturing services for private label products. Our contract manufacturing services business involves the manufacture of custom products to the specifications of a customer who requires finished products under the customer’s own brand name. We do not market these private label products as our business is to sell the products to the customer, who then markets and sells the products to retailers or end consumers.

 

We distribute one of the broadest branded product lines in the industry with approximately 260 stock keeping units, or SKUs. We believe that as a result of our emphasis on innovation, quality, loyalty, education and customer service, our brands are widely recognized in health and natural food stores and among their customers. In most periods since our formation, we have generated losses from operations. As of March 31, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $332.9 million. Historical losses are primarily attributable to lower than planned sales resulting from low fill rates on demand due to limitations of our working capital, delayed product introductions and postponed marketing activities, merger-related and other restructuring costs, and interest and refinancing charges associated with our debt. Losses have been funded primarily through the issuance of common stock, warrants and third-party or related party debt.

 

Going Concern Uncertainty

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of operations and realization of assets and liabilities in the ordinary course of business. In most periods since our formation, we have generated losses from operations. At March 31, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $332.9 million. Historical losses are primarily attributable to lower than planned sales resulting from low fill rates on demand due to limitations of our working capital, delayed product introductions and postponed marketing activities, merger-related and other restructuring costs, interest and refinancing charges associated with our debt refinancing, and impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. Losses have been funded primarily through issuance of common stock and third-party or related party debt.

 

22

 

Because of our history of operating losses and increase in debt over time, we have a working capital deficiency of $113.7 million at March 31, 2021. We also have $100.1 million of debt, net of discount, which could be due within the next 12 months. These continuing conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management has addressed operating issues through the following actions: focusing on growing the core business and brands; continuing emphasis on major customers and key products; reducing manufacturing and operating costs and continuing to negotiate lower prices from major suppliers. We believe that we may need additional capital to execute our business plan. If additional funding is required, there can be no assurance that sources of funding will be available when needed on acceptable terms or at all.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Net Sales

 

The increase in our net sales by 18% for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 is due to a recovery from the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic upon 2020 sales figures.

 

Gross Profit

 

Our overall gross profit increase of 38% for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily due to a focus on SKUs with higher margins.

 

23

 

Selling Expenses

 

Our selling expenses increased by 214% for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due increased advertising and marketing campaigns, and the redesign of consumer websites.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

Our general and administrative expenses decreased by 47% for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 due to the Company’s rightsizing initiatives and recognition of bad debt in 2020 due to the bankrupty of the Company’s largest customer.

 

Interest Expense, Net

 

Our interest expense was relatively unchanged with a $10 or 0% increase for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same prior year period.

 

Gain (Loss) on Change in Derivative Liabilities

 

We have recorded the estimated fair value of the warrants as of the date of issuance.  Due to the variable terms of the warrant agreements, changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants from the date of issuance to each balance sheet reporting date are recorded as derivative liabilities with a corresponding charge to our condensed consolidated statements of operations.  During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we reported a loss on change in derivative liabilities of $1,030. As of March 31, 2021, none of the warrants that resulted in the recording of the related derivative liabilities were outstanding.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At March 31, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $332.9 million primarily because of our history of operating losses and our recording of derivative liabilities and loss on stock purchase guarantee. We have a working capital deficiency of $113.7 million at March 31, 2021. Losses have been funded primarily through the issuance of common stock and warrants, borrowings from our stockholders and third-party debt and proceeds from the exercise of warrants. As of March 31, 2021, we had cash of $3,236. On an ongoing basis, we also seek to improve operating cash through trade receivables and payables management as well as inventory stocking levels. We used net cash in operating activities of $757 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we incurred a net borrowings from our senior credit facility of $2,225.

 

Our total liabilities increased by $8.1 million to $145.2 million at March 31, 2021 from $137.1 million at December 31, 2020. This increase in our total liabilities was primarily due to the increase of $3.6 million in notes payable and $2.6 million in accounts payable.

 

Cash Flows from Operating, Investing and Financing Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as a result of our net income of $0.4 million, a provision for losses on accounts receivable of $541 in doubtful accounts receivable, other non-cash expenses totaling $7 net and a decrease in net operating assets and liabilities of $1,688. By comparison, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, net cash provided by operating activities was $2.9 million as a result of our net loss of $5.2 million, a provision for losses on accounts receivable of $4,097 in doubtful accounts receivable, a non-cash loss on change in derivative liabilities of $1,030, other non-cash expenses totaling $950 net and a decrease in net operating assets and liabilities of $3,846 . 

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $3,569 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, consisting of net borrowings of $2,225 under our revolving credit facility, and proceeds from the issuance of debt of $1,344.

 

Ongoing Funding Requirements

 

As set forth above, we obtained additional debt financing in the year ended December 31, 2020 to support operations. It is possible that we may need additional funding to enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements.

In response to COVID-19 and to protect our liquidity and cash position, we have taken a number of steps. In August of 2020, we obtained deferment letters from each of Great Harbor Capital, LLC, Little Harbor, LLC, and Golisano Holdings, LLC, pursuant to which each lender agreed to defer all payments due under outstanding notes held by each lender through October 22, 2021 and agreed to refrain from declaring a default and/or exercising any remedies under the outstanding notes.  On May 7, 2020, Twinlab Consolidation Corporation (“TCC”), the operating subsidiary of the Company, received the proceeds of a loan from Fifth Third Bank, National Association in the amount of $1.7 million obtained under the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), which was enacted March 27, 2020 (the "PPP Loan”). The PPP Loan, evidenced by a promissory note dated May 5, 2020 (the “Note”), has a two-year term and bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum, with the monthly principal and interest payments due beginning December 1, 2020; however, the Company has applied for debt forgiveness for this loan. On January 25, 2021, TCC applied for another PPP Loan with Fifth Third bank in the amount of $1.3 million (the “Second PPP Loan”). The Second PPP Loan, evidenced by a promissory note dated February 5, 2021 (the “Note”), has a two-year term and bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum, with expected monthly principal and interest payments due to begin September 1, 2021. TCC may prepay 20% or less of the principal balance of the Note at any time without notice. TCC will use the proceeds of the Second PPP Loan for payroll, office rent, and utilities which will allow the Company to seek forgiveness for this loan.

 

TCC may prepay 20% or less of the principal balance of the Notes at any time without notice. TCC will use the proceeds of the PPP Loans for payroll, office rent, and utilities. While we intend to pursue the forgiveness of the PPP loan and Second PPP loan received in accordance with the requirements and limitations under the CARES Act, no assurance can be provided that forgiveness of any portion of the PPP Loan will be obtained.

 

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues, we intend to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. There can be no assurance that any of those sources of funding will be available when needed on acceptable terms or at all. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interests of existing stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of existing stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings or relationships with third parties when needed or on acceptable terms, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts; abandon our business strategy of growth through acquisitions; or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

  

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under applicable SEC rules.

 

Item 3.          Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

This item is not applicable as we are currently considered a smaller reporting company.

Item 4.          Controls and Procedures. 

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2021 pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. On the basis of this review, our management, including our principal executive officer and chief financial officer, has concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and chief financial officer, in a manner that allows timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

On May 14th, 2021, the Company announced that an internal investigation had discovered that a recently terminated employee in the Company’s accounting department had been embezzling Company funds (See Subsequent Events in Note 9). Preliminary findings indicate losses of approximately $500,000 occurring between 2016 and 2021.  We believe the employee had taken advantage of a complex consolidation process between multiple ERP systems, a lack of segregation of duties, weak internal controls, and a lack of managerial oversight.

 

In the first quarter of 2021, the Company transitioned into a single ERP system which allows for establishment of increased segregation of duties and improvements of internal controls within the ERP system itself. Additionally, remediation of internal control weaknesses includes additional focus on managerial oversight and staffing changes within the accounting department.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2018 (and continuing into 2019), management identified material weaknesses in the selection and testing of our third-party logistics (“3PL”) and fulfillment provider, whom the Company engaged to replace the Company's Utah manufacturing facility. The Company has determined that the 3PL does not issue reports pursuant to the Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagement No. 18 attestation standards. Management also identified a material weakness related to a lack of appropriate staffing in our accounting and information technology departments to address the Company's ability to continue to close the books both timely and accurately and to meet internal control documentation requirements. Prior normal staffing turnover along with technical accounting issues and the Company's change to a 3PL impacted the Company's ability to react to technical accounting matters encountered.During the first quarter of 2020, management identified material weaknesses related to our financial reporting procedures which resulted in the Company not properly recording a reserve for accounts receivable related to a significant customer that had recently entered bankruptcy proceedings. This material weakness caused the Company to have to amend its 2020 first quarter 10-Q on August 17, 2020 to properly state our financial position. Management believes that this control failure has been resolved with staffing changes and system improvements.

 

Although we have implemented certain measures that we believe will remediate these material weaknesses, we can provide no assurance that our remediation efforts will be effective or that additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting will not be identified in the future. Any failure to maintain or implement required new or improved controls, or any difficulties that may be encountered in their implementation, could result in additional material weaknesses, cause us to fail to meet our periodic or annual reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our financial statements. Any such failure could also adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules promulgated thereunder. The existence of material weaknesses could result in errors in our financial statements that could result in a restatement of those financial statements.

 

26

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, any system of internal control over financial reporting, including ours, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurances. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business, but we cannot assure you that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting. 

 

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 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

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of business. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company is not aware of any legal proceedings, other than those described in Note 9, that could have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors
