VITACUBE SYSTEMS HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Business
VitaCube Systems Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiariesVitaCube Systems, Inc. and VitaCube Network, Inc.are a provider of high quality meal replacement powder, premium nutritional dietary supplements and re-hydration/electrolyte powder drink products to health and fitness conscious customers. In additional to our meal replacement powder product, we offer a comprehensive line of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and herbs in tablets, softgel or capsule form all of which are manufactured using our proprietary product formulations. We arrange our supplements in our unique, easy to use and convenient delivery system know as the VitaCube. Our products are marketed through a network of independent distributors.
Going Concern
The Company has incurred losses since its inception and has an accumulated deficit of $6,017,474 at June 30, 2004. Operations have been financed primarily through issuance of common stock and loans from the Company's Chief Executive Officer and one of the Company's Directors.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred a net loss of $1,149,069 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and has an accumulated shareholders' deficit of $6,017,474.
In view of these matters, realization of a significant portion of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent on the continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent on the success of future profitable operations. The Company has been developing awareness of its product and has recently implemented a marketing plan to sell its products through an independent network of distributors. Management believes that within time, through the development of its distributor and customer base, the demand for its products will develop and allow the Company to become profitable. However, management acknowledges that additional funding may be required to achieve profitability.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates utilized in the preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all cash and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Substantially all of the Company's assets and liabilities are carried at fair value or contracted amounts that approximate fair value. Estimates of fair value are made at a specific point in time, based on relative market information and information about each financial instrument, specifically, the value
6
of the underlying financial instrument. Assets that are recorded at fair value consist largely of short-term receivables and other assets, which are carried at contracted amounts that approximate fair value. Similarly, the Company's liabilities consist primarily of short term liabilities recorded at contracted amounts that approximate fair value.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company has no significant off-balance sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains the majority of its cash balances with three financial institutions in the form of demand deposits and money market funds. These funds in excess of the federally insured amount of $100,000 are subject to credit risk, to date the Company has not incurred a loss relating to this credit risk.
Accounts Receivable
The Company uses the allowance method in accounting for bad debts. At June 30, 2004 the Company has recorded a net allowance of $1,650 to encompass both uncollectible receivables and an allowance for returned products.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market on a FIFO (first-in first-out) basis. Provision is made to reduce excess or obsolete inventory to the estimated net realizable value. The Company purchases vitamins, packages them, and resells them in various forms and containers.
Inventory is comprised of the following:

Provision for obsolete inventory | (28,771 | ) | (31,782 | ) | |||

Summary of the Company's inventory allowance for the period ended June 30, 2004 is as follows:
Balance as of January 1, 2004 | $ | 31,782 | |||
Recovery of obsolete inventory | (3,011 | ) | |||
Balance as of June 30, 2004 | $ | 28,771 | |||
Property and Equipment
The Company provides for depreciation of property and equipment using the straight-line method of depreciation based on estimated useful lives of between three and ten years.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows estimated to be generated by the asset.
7
Intangible Assets
The Company's intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated life of 15 years.
Income Taxes
Prior to January 1, 2003 VitaCube had elected to be treated under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, in lieu of corporation income taxes, the shareholders were taxed on the Company's taxable income, whether or not distributed. VitaCube terminated its "S" election on January 1, 2003. Any losses prior to that date were allocated to the shareholders and may not be used by the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2003 VitaCube will be taxed as a C Corporation.
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under the asset and liability method of Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to difference between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Advertising Costs
Advertising and marketing costs for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were $156,538 and $279,817 respectively and are expensed as incurred.
Revenue Recognition
The Company ships its products by common carrier and receives its product sales price in the form of cash, credit card or approved credit terms. The Company offers a 60-day money back guarantee on initial orders to new customers and historically averages less than 3% in credits for returned or unsold products. Sales discounts include discounts provided to professional athletes, resellers, and other customers to promote and increase sales of the Company's products. Sales revenue and related discounts, volume incentives and estimated returns are recorded when the merchandise is shipped since performance by the Company is considered met when products are in the hands of the common carrier. Amounts received for unshipped merchandise are recorded as customer deposits and are included in accrued liabilities.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS NO. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"), and applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB No. 25"), and related interpretations in accounting for stock options granted to employees.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123 and the emerging issues task force consensus in issue No. 96-18 ("EITF 96-18"), "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services".
8
If the Company had accounted for its stock-based compensation plans to employees in accordance with SFAS 123, the Company's net income or loss and pro forma net income or loss per basic and diluted common share for the six months ended June 30, 2004 would have been reported as follows:

Net Loss Per Share
Earnings per share require presentation of both basic earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share. Since the Company has a net loss for all periods presented since inception, any common stock equivalents would not be included in the weighted average calculation since their effect would be anti-dilutive.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"), which requires that, for guarantees within the scope of FIN 45 issued or amended after December 31, 2002, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee be recognized. FIN 45 does not apply to certain guarantee contracts, such as for a lessee's residual value guarantee embedded in a capital lease. FIN 45 also requires additional disclosures in financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 2002, which we have adopted. However, as of June 30, 2004 the Company believes that, other than product warranty, it has no material items subject to the new disclosure requirements.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure" ("SFAS No. 148"), which (i) amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation; (ii) amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net income of an entity's accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation; and (iii) amends APB Opinion No. 28, "Interim Financial Reporting," to require disclosure about those effects in interim financial information. Items (ii) and (iii) of the new requirements in SFAS No. 148 are effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after
9
December 15, 2002. We have included the disclosure requirements of item (ii) and (iii) in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
In May 2003, SFAS 150 "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity," was issued. This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. Generally, a financial instrument, whether in the form of shares or otherwise, that is mandatorily redeemable, i.e. that embodies an unconditional obligation requiring the issuer to redeem it by transferring its shares or assets at a specified or determinable date (or dates) or upon an event that is certain to occur, must be classified as a liability (or asset in some circumstances). In some cases, a financial instrument that is conditionally redeemable may also be subject to the same treatment. This Statement does not apply to features that are embedded in a financial instrument that is not a derivative (as defined) in its entirety. For public entities, this Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 150 did not effect the Company's financial position or results of operations.
2. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 50,000,000 shares of common stock at $.001 par value and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock at $.001 par value. The holders of the common stock are entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, dividends payable either in cash, in property or in shares of the common stock of the Company. Dividends have no cumulative rights and dividends will not accumulate if the Board of Directors does not declare such dividends. Through June 30, 2004 no dividends have been declared or paid by the Company.
On January 27, 2004 the Company sold 29,980 shares in connection with a Private Placement of securities at $1.00 per share and on January 31, 2004 the Company closed the Private Placement of securities, issuing a total of 1,039,980 shares of the Company's common stock at $1.00 per share.
During February 2004 note holders of the Company elected to exercise a conversion provision in the notes converting all of the outstanding promissory notes issued in November 2003, December 2003 and January 2004 into 610,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.50 per share.
During March 2004 the Company undertook a second private offering of a minimum of $2,300,000 ("the Offering") of its common stock in accordance with Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or another exemption from registration under applicable securities laws. On April 15, 2004 the Company closed the Offering, raising a total of $2,497,925 through the sale of 8,326,422 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.30 per share. The Company incurred associated expenses of approximately $79,597 with the Offering. In addition, the Company issued warrants to the placement agent for the purchase of 2,172,109 shares of the Company's common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.30 per share, exercisable for 5 years.
In connection with the Offering, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Sanford Greenberg converted $300,000 of long term subordinated loans and $200,000 of bridge loans plus $63,674 of accrued interest into 1,878,913 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.30 per share. One of the Company's directors, Warren Cohen converted $1,335,861 of a long term subordinated loan plus $187,094 of accrued interest into 5,076,517 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.30 per share. In addition, the Company issued 333,333 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.30 per share to a creditor for $100,000 of previously accrued services.
10
During the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the Company issued 50,000 shares of its common stock at $0.30 a share as a bonus to its chief financial officer and 10,000 shares of its common stock at $0.30 a share to its outside video production company for services rendered.

7. BRIDGE LOANS AND NOTE PAYABLES
During the year ended December 31, 2002 VitaCube obtained bridge financing from two unrelated persons totaling $300,000, bearing interest at 10%, payable one year from the date received. During the year ended December 31, 2003 VitaCube obtained additional bridge financing from an unrelated entity totaling $25,000. In connection with the share exchange, the last bridge loan lender agreed to convert his $25,000 note into 25,000 shares of the Company's common stock (at $1.00 per share) under the Company's Private Placement. In connection with this transaction, accrued interest of $1,130 was waived. In addition, a second bridge lender agreed to convert $75,000 of the principal amount and $15,000 of accrued interest due him for 90,000 shares of the Company's common stock (at $1.00 per share) under the Company's Private Placement, waiving $3,466 of additional accrued interest and modifying the terms and due date of this note of which the Company's president and major shareholder personally guaranteed. Also, another bridge loan lender forgave $5,000 of the principal amount of his bridge loan and $2,644 of accrued interest in exchange for a modification of the due date. In April 2004 the Company paid off all remaining outstanding bridge loan financing.
In addition, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and major shareholder advanced $200,000 of bridge loan financing as of December 31, 2003 and on March 31, 2004 converted the principal of $200,000 and accrued interest of $24,986 into 749,953 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.30 per share.
During October 2003 the Company borrowed $50,000 from an unrelated party, which was evidenced by a promissory note. As part of the consideration for the loan, the Company granted an option to purchase 10,000 shares of its common stock at $1.00 per share, which option was fully vested and exercisable for 5 years. This option was not part of the Company's Incentive Stock Option Plan.
12
The promissory note provided for interest at 18% per annum and was due 30 days after the loan was funded. The note further provided that, in event the note was not duly paid, the holder of note was entitled to (i) an additional option to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $1.00 per share (with this option having the same terms as the option for 10,000 shares) and (ii) convert the note into shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.50 per share. This note was not paid when due so, in December 2003 the holder was granted the second option to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $1.00 per share. In connection with this transaction the Company recorded interest of $50,000 related to the beneficial conversion features embedded in the note in November 2003.
In December 2003 the Company borrowed an additional $50,000 from another unrelated party. The terms of this note were the same as the loan made to the Company in October 2003. An option to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $1.00 per share was granted as partial consideration for this loan. This note was not paid when due so, in January 2004 the note holder was granted a second option to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $1.00 per share. Also in January 2004 in connection with this transaction the Company recorded interest of $50,000 related to the beneficial conversion features embedded in the note.
During January 2004 the Company borrowed an additional $205,000 from multiple unrelated parties. As part of the consideration for these loans, the Company granted options to purchase 81,000 shares of its common stock at $0.50 per share, which options were fully vested and exercisable for 5 years. These options are not part of the Company's Incentive Stock Option Plan. The promissory notes provided for interest at 18% per annum and were due 30 days after the loans were funded. The notes further provided that, in event the notes were not duly paid, the holders of notes were entitled to (i) additional options to purchase 155,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.50 per share (with this option having the same terms as the options for 81,000 shares) and (ii) convert the note into shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.50 per share. The notes was not paid when due so, in February 2004 the holders were granted the second options to purchase 155,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $0.50 per share. In February 2004 in connection with this transaction the Company recorded interest of $205,000 related to the beneficial conversion features embedded in the notes.

Results of Operations
For the three months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2003.
Net revenue. Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 was $156,483 compared to $326,193 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 a decrease of 52%. The decrease in revenue can be attributed to our change in marketing focus from sales directly to consumers and retail establishments to sales through a network marketing system, which took place during the third quarter of 2003. The official launch of the our network marketing plan was April 24, 2004 and it is anticipated that revenues will steadily increase over the remainder of 2004.
Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased to $99,013 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 from $210,421 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 a decrease of 53%. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue (gross margin) was down slightly at 63% for the quarter ending June 30, 2004 compared to 65% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The decrease in gross profit follows the decrease in net revenue. As the marketing plan matures, it is anticipated that we will have less fluctuation in both our gross profit and gross margin numbers.
Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses of $246,847 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 reflect a decrease of 22% from $318,364 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. Sales and marketing activities decreased due to the transition into the network marketing. Cost previously incurred with maintaining a sales staff have been eliminated. Independent distributors now incur the cost of print and radio advertising. In network marketing, sales and marketing activities revolve around providing distributors with support tools that allow them to market our products. Therefore the primary expense items will be the direct compensation to the distributors in the form of multi-level commissions, promotions and events for the distributors and the continued commitment to our endorsers.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses of $275,855 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 increased by 45% compared to $190,511 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The increase is a result of increased legal, accounting and other associated expenses due to our
14
financing activities. Executive compensation also increased due to us entering into an employment agreement with our chief executive officer on April 1, 2004. Prior to that our chief executive officer drew a nominal salary amount.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses of $4,547 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 were incurred. We had no research and development expenses for 2003. We are currently reformulating our re-hydration drink E-Force to create a low-end lead product for our network marketing program. Re-introduction of E-Force is planned for third quarter 2004.
For the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003.
Net revenue. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $330,855 compared to $739,054 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 a decrease of 55%. The decrease in revenue can be attributed to our change in marketing focus from sales directly to consumers and retail establishments to sales through a network marketing system, which took place during the third quarter of 2003. The official launch of our network marketing plan was April 24, 2004 and it is anticipated that revenues will steadily increase over the remainder of 2004.
Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased to $224,789 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from $466,723 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 a decrease of 52%. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue (gross margin) increased to 68% for the quarter ending June 30, 2004 as compared to 63% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The increase in gross margin is a result of obtaining higher profit margin sales through network marketing and the elimination of sales to retail entities. The decrease in gross profit follows the decrease in net revenue. As the marketing plan matures, it is anticipated that we will have less fluctuation in our gross profit and gross margin numbers.
Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses of $409,645 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 reflect a decrease of 44% from $732,638 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Sales and marketing activities decreased due to the transition into the network marketing. Cost previously incurred with maintaining a sales staff have been eliminated. Independent distributors now incur the cost of print and radio advertising. In network marketing, sales and marketing activities revolve around providing distributors with support tools that allow them to market our products. Therefore the primary expense items will be the direct compensation to the distributors in the form of multi-level commissions, promotions and events for the distributors and the continued commitment to our endorsers.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses of $619,686 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 increased by 30% compared to $477,392 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase is a result of increased legal, accounting and other associated expenses due to our financing activities. Executive compensation increased due to us entering into an employment agreement with our chief executive officer on April 1, 2004. Prior to that our chief executive officer drew a nominal salary amount.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses of $4,547 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were incurred. We had no research and development expenses for 2003. We are currently reformulating our re-hydration drink E-Force to create low-end lead product for our network marketing program. Re-introduction of E-Force is planned for third quarter 2004.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
To date, operating funds have been provided primarily by loans from our chief executive officer, one of our directors and by various shareholders of our Company, and from sales of our common stock, which totaled $7,796,347 through June 30, 2004 and to a lesser degree, funds provided by sales of our product. On January 31, 2004 we closed an offering of our common stock issuing 1,039,980 shares
15
of our common stock for gross proceeds of $1,039,980. On April 15, 2004 we closed a second offering of our common stock issuing 8,326,422 shares for gross proceeds of $2,497,925. In conjunction with the second offering on March 31, 2004 both our chief executive officer and one of our director converted outstanding loans plus accrued interest into 6,955,430 shares of our common stock reducing our debt. In April 2004 we completed repayment of our bridge financing for a total of $220,000. As of June 30, 2004 we had no outstanding short-term or long-term debt.
We used $1,079,781 of cash for operations in the six months ended June 30, 2004 on net sales of $330,855 and we used $237,777 of cash in the six months ended June 30, 2003 on net sales of $739,054. The use of cash in our operations results from incurring and accruing expenses to suppliers, necessary to generate business and service our customers at a time when revenues did not keep pace with expenses. As of June 30, 2004 we had $1,410,293 in cash and cash equivalents available to fund future operations. Working capital increased by $2,494,217 from a deficit of $1,056,203 at December 31, 2003 to an excess of $1,438,014 at June 30, 2004. As of June 30, 2004 we had $1,824,555 in current assets and $386,541 in current liabilities. These results were achieved as the result of completion of the Offering and debt conversion described in Notes to Financial StatementsNote 2 Shareholders' Equity.
Our fiscal year 2004 operating plan is focused on increasing the number of independent distributors, growing revenues, increasing gross profits and conserving cash. We cannot predict with certainty the expected revenue, gross profit, net income or loss and usage of cash and cash equivalents for fiscal year 2004. However, our management believes that our cash resources will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next six months under our current operating plan. If our management is unable to manage our business operations in line with budget expectations, it could have a material adverse effect on our business viability, financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Further, if we are not successful in obtaining profitability additional capital may be required to maintain ongoing operations.
Contractual Obligations
We lease office space from a related party with the current lease expiring at June 30, 2004. We also have various operating leases. At December 31, 2003 our commitments under these obligations were as follows:
Contractual Obligations |
Less than 1 year |
2-3 years |
4-5 years |
||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Office lease | $ | 18,000 | $ | | $ | | |||
Operating leases | 45,194 | 66,774 | 9,581 | ||||||
Total | $ | 63,194 | $ | 66,774 | $ | 9,581 | |||
On July 1, 2004 we extended the lease to December 31, 2004 with all the same provisions of the current lease.
Customer Concentrations
We have no single customer that accounts for any substantial portion of its revenues.
Critical Accounting Polices and Estimates
Discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our
16
estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, sales returns, warranty, contingencies and litigation. We base estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of the ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required, which would increase our expenses during the periods in which any such allowances were made. The amount recorded as a provision for bad debt in each period is based upon an assessment of the likelihood that we will be paid on our outstanding receivables, based on customer-specific as well as general considerations. To the extent that our estimates prove to be too high, and we ultimately collect a receivable previously determined to be impaired, we may record a reversal of the provision in the period of such determination.
We reduce inventory for estimated obsolete or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by us, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Any write-downs of inventory would reduce our reported net income during the period in which such write-downs were applied. To the extent that the estimates prove to be too high, and we ultimately utilize or sell inventory previously determined to be impaired, we may record a reversal of the provision in the period of such determination.
We depreciate property and equipment primarily on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, generally three to five years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset or the life of the lease including the options to extend the lease. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred and major replacements and improvements are capitalized.
We amortize patent costs over their estimated useful lives. From time to time, we may be required to adjust these lives based on advances in science, competitor actions, and the like. We review the record amount of patents at each period end to determine if their carrying amount is still recoverable based on expectations regarding sales of related products. Such an assessment, in the future, may result in a conclusion that the assets are impaired, with a corresponding charge against earnings.
Off-Balance Sheet Items
We have no off-balance sheet items as of June 30, 2004.
Item 3CONTROLS AND PROCUEDURES
Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms are effective, based upon their evaluation of these controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days of the filing date of this Form 10-QSB.
There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of this evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and weaknesses.
17
We are not currently engaged in any legal proceedings and we have no knowledge of any threatened or pending legal proceedings against us or against our property.
Item 2.CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On April 2004, we completed the second and final closing of a best efforts, $2.3 million minimum private placement of our common stock. This private placement commenced in March 2004 and the first closing occurred on March 31, 2004. A total of 8,326,422 shares of our common stock were sold in the private placement for an aggregate purchase price of $2,497,295. MDB Capital Group LLC ("MDB") acted as finder in the private placement. As compensation to MDB, we issued warrants to MDB and its affiliates to acquire 2,172,109 shares of our common stock at $0.30 per share, exercisable through April 30, 2009. We also reimbursed MDB for their out-of-pocket expenses and we agreed to file a registration statement relating to the resale of the common stock purchased in the private placement. We also agreed to include in the registration statement the resale of warrants and shares of common stock underlying the warrants. In addition, as part of the private placement, Sanford D. Greenberg, chief executive officer, and Warren Cohen, a director, converted debt owed by us to each of them into 1,878,913 shares and 5,076,517 shares of our common stock, respectively. In addition, we issued 333,333 shares of our common stock, valued at $0.30 per share, to a creditor for $100,000 of previously accrued services.
We issued these shares in the private placement in reliance on the exemption from registration provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Regulation D and S promulgated under the Act based on the limited number of purchasers, and on the purchasers' sophistication in financial matters, access to material information, and on representations received from the purchasers, including those establishing their status as accredited investors and their intent to acquire the shares for investment and not with a view toward distribution. No form of general solicitation or advertisement was used in connection with the private placement.
In April 2004, we issued 50,000 shares of our common stock, valued at $0.30 per share, as a bonus to our chief financial officer. We also granted the chief financial officer stock options for the purchase of 100,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The options vest ratably over four years and expire five years from the date of grant. We also issued 10,000 shares of our common stock valued at $0.30 per share to our outside video production company in exchange for services. In April 2004 in connection with our chief executive officer executing an employment agreement, we issued the chief executive officer stock options to purchase 4 million shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $0.60 per share. Twenty-five percent of the options become exercisable on each of January 1 of 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008, and remain exercisable for no longer than 5 years after vesting.
On May 20, 2004 we granted to a newly appointed member of our board of directors an option to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $1.00 per share vesting 12,500 shares each on the date of the grant and May 20, 2005, and with respect to 25,000 shares on May 20, 2006.
We issued these securities in reliance on the exemption from registration provided in Sections 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended based on the limited number of purchasers, and on the purchasers' sophistication in financial matters, access to material information, and on representations received from the purchasers, including those establishing their status as accredited investors and/or their intent to acquire the shares for investment and not with a view toward distribution.
