BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of AVP, Inc.
(“AVP”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and notes thereto contained in AVP’s latest Annual Report
on Form 10-KSB filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for
a
fair presentation of AVP’s financial position and the results of operations for
the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of
operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results
to
be expected for the full year. Notes to the consolidated financial statements
that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the consolidated
audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year 2007, as reported
in the Form 10-KSB as previously filed with the SEC, have been
omitted.
2.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER BASIC AND DILUTED SHARE OF COMMON
STOCK
Basic
earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing income available to
common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed
by
dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number
of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, increased to include
the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding
if the dilutive potential shares of common stock had been issued. The dilutive
effect of outstanding options and warrants is reflected in diluted earnings
per
share by application of the “treasury stock” method. The dilutive effect of
outstanding convertible preferred stock is reflected in diluted earnings per
share by application of the “if-converted” method. Under the treasury stock
method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company’s common stock can
result in a greater dilutive effect from outstanding options and
warrants.
The
following options, warrants to purchase shares of common stock and other
incremental shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss)
per share for the periods presented as their effect would be
antidilutive:

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
On
January 1, 2006, AVP adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS
No.
123 (Revised 2004). Prior to January 1, 2006, AVP had accounted for stock-based
payments under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting
Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion 25 and related interpretations, as permitted by
SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” In accordance with APB
25, no compensation expense was required to be recognized for options granted
that had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common
stock on the date of grant.
Under
the
modified prospective method of SFAS No. 123R, compensation expense was
recognized during the year ended December 31, 2006 and included compensation
expense for all stock-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as
of
January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value, estimated in accordance
with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123.
Under
the
fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R, stock-based compensation
cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The
fair value of stock options granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton
option pricing model. The fair value is amortized on a straight-line basis
over
the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally the vesting
period.
The
table
below sets forth the pricing assumptions used in determining the fair values
for
the common stock options and warrants using the Black Scholes
model:

Determining
the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires
judgment, including estimating stock price volatility, and expected term. The
Company uses its own stock price to compute estimated volatility, as it believes
that historical volatility is a fair representation of future volatility.
Historical forfeitures have been immaterial; therefore, the Company is not
recognizing forfeitures prior to their occurrences. The expected term of options
granted from historical data on employee exercises is not yet determinable.
The
Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a
reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term, due to the limited period
of time its equity shares have been publicly traded. When more relevant detailed
information becomes available, the Company intends to make more refined
estimates of expected term. In December 2007, the SEC issued SAB 110, Shared
Based Payment, to amend the SEC’s views discussed in SAB 107 regarding the use
of the simplified method in developing an estimate of expected life of share
options in accordance with SFAS No. 123R. In accordance with SAB 107, as amended
by SAB 110, the Company used the simplified method in developing an estimate
of
expected term for the "plain vanilla" share options granted on February 5,
and
June 4, 2008. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield
curve in effect at the date of grant. As of September 30, 2008, the Company
had
approximately $1,183,242 of unrecognized compensation expense expected to be
recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.33
years.
Due
to
the inherent uncertainty in valuing awards for publicly-traded stock as of
the
grant date, given that such awards will be exercised, purchased, or sold at
indeterminate future dates, the actual values realized by the recipients, if
any, may vary significantly from the values of the awards estimated at the
grant
dates.

STOCK OPTIONS
Stock
Option Plans
Under
AVP’s 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, AVP may grant awards of stock options
(including stock purchase warrants) and restricted stock grants to its officers,
directors, employees, consultants, players, and independent contractors. AVP
may
issue an aggregate of 30,000,000 shares of its common stock under the 2005
Plan,
including approximately 14,000,000 shares underlying management warrants, as
well as options previously granted by AVP’s wholly owned subsidiary, Association
of Volleyball Professionals, Inc. (the “Association”), which were subsequently
converted to AVP stock options upon the Association’s acquisition by AVP. AVP
may grant both incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422
of
the Internal Revenue Code, and options, warrants, and other rights to buy AVP’s
common stock that are not qualified as incentive stock options. The exercise
price of each optioned share is determined by the Compensation Committee;
however the exercise price for incentive stock options and nonqualified stock
options will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the optioned
shares on the date of grant. The exercise price of incentive stock options
granted to holders of more than 10% of AVP’s common stock must be at least 110%
of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.
The
expiration date of each option shall be determined by the Compensation Committee
at the date of grant; however, in no circumstances shall the option be
exercisable after 10 years from the date of grant. Stock options granted under
the 2005 Plan will expire no more than ten years from the date on which the
option is granted, unless the Board of Directors determines an alternative
termination date. If incentive stock options are granted to holders of more
than
10% of AVP’s common stock, such options will expire no more than five (5) years
from the date the option is granted. Except as otherwise determined by the
Board
of Directors or the Compensation Committee, stock options granted under the
2005
Plan will vest and become exercisable on the anniversaries of the date of grant
of such option at a rate of 25% per year over four years from the date of
grant.
In
connection with stock options granted to employees to purchase common stock,
AVP
recorded $156,216 of stock-based compensation expense for the three month period
ended September 30, 2008, $21,236 for the three month period ended September
30,
2007, and $509,290 and $64,192 for the nine month periods ended September 30,
2008 and 2007, respectively.
The
following table contains information on the stock options under the 2005 Plan
for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and the year ended December 31,
2007. The outstanding options expire from November 2008 to June

The
aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise
price of the underlying awards and the $0.25 closing stock price of our common
stock on September 30, 2008, the last trading date of our quarter ended
September 30, 2008. The intrinsic value was computed for only those awards
that
are in the money.
The
weighted average fair value of options granted was $0.36 and $0 during the
nine
months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
The
total
intrinsic values of stock options exercised during the nine months ended
September 30, 2008 and 2007 were $439,052 and $123,378, respectively. No cash
was received, as the options were exercised in cashless exercises. The Company
did not recognize any tax benefit related to these exercises.

Operating
Lease
The
Company leases its corporate office facilities under a non-cancellable operating
lease expiring in March 2010. The lease contains a renewal option for an
additional five-year term. In addition, the lease provides for rental
escalations at defined intervals during the lease term. Rent expense is
recognized on the straight-line method over the term of the lease. The
difference between rent expense recognized and rent payable under the rental
escalation clauses is reflected in accrued expenses.
The
Company also subleases approximately 4,500 square feet of warehouse space
pursuant to a sublease that expires on February 28, 2009. The space is used
for
storing tournament equipment and the Company’s trucks.
The
future minimum rental payments under the non-cancellable operating leases are

Officer
Indemnification
Under
its
organizational documents, AVP’s directors are indemnified against certain
liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to AVP. AVP also
has
an insurance policy for its directors and officers to insure them against
liabilities arising from the performance of their duties required by their
positions with AVP. AVP’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown
as this would involve future claims that may be made against AVP that have
not
yet occurred. However, based on experience, AVP expects the risk of loss to
be
remote.
Employment
Agreements
AVP
has
entered into “at will” employment agreements with two officers. In addition to
base salary, the employment agreements provide for performance bonuses. The
performance bonuses will be 50% of the respective officer’s base salary. The
performance bonuses awarded, if any, will be based upon achieving certain
milestones and targets as determined by the Board of Directors’ Compensation
Committee. The agreements also provides for an additional cash performance
bonus ranging from $25,000 to $125,000 in the event the Company achieves
positive EBITDA. In the event the officers are terminated by AVP, their
authority is diminished, or AVP breaches the employment agreements, the officers
will continue to receive their annual base salary and their Annual Performance
Bonus and benefits for periods of six months to two years following the
termination, depending on the circumstances of the termination.
Legal
proceedings
A
complaint was filed on June 6, 2007 in the United States Circuit Court of Cook
County, Illinois, in which the plaintiff seeks damages for personal injuries
relating to a fall the plaintiff suffered during a volleyball tournament taking
place at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 7,
2005. Discovery is still being completed and therefore management is unable
to
determine or predict the outcome of this claim or the impact on the Company’s
financial condition or results of operations. Accordingly, the Company has
not
recorded a provision for this matter in its consolidated financial statements.

Service
Contingency
On
March
31, 2008, the Company accrued additional costs to accommodate a vendor who
requested additional consideration for services rendered in 2007. The Company
is
not obligated to make such additional payment, but to preserve the relationship
and receive future services, AVP recorded an accrual of approximately $0.2
million for such service contingency. As of September 30, 2008, the parties
have
not yet reached an agreement.
On
November 4, 2008, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the
vendor, whereby the Company issued 400,000 shares of common stock, a fully
vested warrant with a 5-year term to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock
at
a purchase price of $1.25 per share, and a fully vested warrant with a 5-year
term to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.75
per
share. The fair value of the consideration granted on the date of execution
is
approximately $0.1 million less than the value estimated as of September 30,
2008. The reduction in fair value will be reflected on next quarter’s
Consolidated Statement of Operations as a reduction in sales and marketing
expense.

CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS
For
the
nine months ended September 30, 2007, 22,396 shares of Series "B" preferred
stock were converted into 624,176 shares of AVP’s common stock pursuant to
notice of conversion from an individual investor.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2007, AVP issued 13,945 shares of common
stock pursuant to the cashless exercise of options for 16,829 shares of common
stock. The exercise price of the options was $0.30 per share.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2007, AVP issued 100,137 shares of common
stock pursuant to the cashless exercise of options for 100,977 shares of common
stock. The exercise price of the options was $0.01 per share.
Pursuant
to the April 12, 2006 Title Sponsorship Agreement with Crocs, AVP agreed to
issue warrants to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock of AVP as
follows: a warrant for 400,000 shares on April 12, 2006 and for 200,000 shares
for each of the years 2008 through 2010. However, no warrants would be issued
in
2008, 2009, or 2010 if Crocs relinquished the “Title” sponsorship and reduced
its sponsorship to a “Platinum” level sponsorship following the 2007 season, or
if the agreement was not extended for two more years, or if the agreement was
terminated for breach prior to the final event of the 2008 AVP Tour season.
Crocs had the option to reduce its sponsorship level until July 15, 2007. Crocs
did not exercise its option to reduce its sponsorship level for 2008; therefore,
Crocs was granted a warrant to purchase additional 200,000 shares. The warrants
were valued using the Black-Scholes model and recorded through the Consolidated
Statement of Operations as contra-revenue. The warrants were recorded at a
value
of $174,600. The assumptions utilized in computing the fair value of the
warrants were as follows: expected life of 4.75 years, estimated volatility
of
79.32% and a risk free interest rate of 4.95%.
On
August
12, 2007, Crocs extended the term of its Title Sponsorship Agreement through
2012, which triggered a warrant grant for 400,000 shares for years 2009 and
2010
pursuant to the April 12, 2006 agreement. The warrants were valued at $333,200
using the Black-Scholes model and recorded through the Consolidated Statement
of
Operations as contra-revenue. The assumptions utilized in computing the fair
value of the warrants were as follows: expected life of 4.67 years, estimated
volatility of 78.15% and a risk free interest rate of 4.57%.

stock
were converted into 61,537 shares of AVP’s common stock pursuant to notice of
conversion from an individual investor.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2008, AVP issued 49,865 shares of common
stock pursuant to the cashless exercise of options for 50,488 shares of common
stock. The exercise price of the options was $0.01 per share.
During

During
the nine months ended September 30, 2008, AVP issued 2,493 shares of common
stock pursuant to the cashless exercise of options for 201,953 shares of common
stock. The exercise price of the options was $0.80 per share.
Pursuant
to a Subscription Agreement dated September 8, 2008, AVP sold 50,000 shares
of
authorized but unissued Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001
per share, for a total price of $696,750. The Series B Preferred Stock is
convertible into an aggregate of 1,393,500 shares of the Company’s common stock.
Costs incurred in connection to the transaction were recorded against the
proceeds received.
The
related Registration Rights Agreement required AVP to use its reasonable best
efforts to file a registration statement once a request from the investors
has
been received, and once the registration statement is effective, the Company
has
an obligation to use its reasonable best efforts to keep the registration
statement effective.
On
September 19, 2008, AVP completed the sale of 5,606,500 restricted shares of
the
Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value, for an aggregate purchase price of
$2,803,250 and a per share purchase price of $0.50, pursuant to a Securities
Purchase Agreement dated September 8, 2008. As part of the transaction, the
Company also entered into a loan agreement with the investor pursuant to which
the investor agreed to loan $2,803,250 to AVP, against two convertible notes.
The face amount of the notes is representative of the relative number of shares
acquirable upon conversion of the notes. Unless the notes are earlier repaid
in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the loan agreement, the outstanding
principal balance of the notes will be due and payable in shares of common
stock
on September 1, 2013. The loan does not bear interest unless there is a change
in control or an event of default, such as payment default, bankruptcy, or
breach of representation. Upon a change of control of AVP or an event of
default, the loan bears 18% interest, compounded annually, and effective from
when the loan was initially issued. Upon an event of default, the investors
have
the right to convert the notes payable into (1) a cash payment equal to the
principal and any accrued but unpaid interest, and (2) receipt of the shares
held in escrow. Had it been a change of control or an event of default as of
September 30, 2008, the Company would have to pay $2,828,586, which represents
the loan amount plus accrued interest.
Investor
will have full voting rights associated with the shares of common stock once
the
shares are issued in the name of the investor, but the investor may not transfer
the shares until they are delivered at the time that investor forgives the
Company’s obligations under the loan agreement and the note, which will not
occur later than September 1, 2013.

As
a
result of the shares sold in September 2008, the conversion rate of the
outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock increased from 27.87 to 32.43
in accordance with the anti-dilution provision from the private placement of
units of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock closed in February 2005 (“February
2005 Financing”). Each unit sold in the February 2005 Financing consisted of 4
shares of AVP's Series B Preferred Stock (each share of Preferred Stock was
originally convertible into 24.3 shares of common stock), and a five-year
warrant to purchase up to 24.3 shares of the AVP's common stock. In accordance
with the February 2005 Financing anti-dilution provisions, the number of shares
of common stock for which the warrants were exercisable was adjusted. The
warrant agreement entitles Series B Preferred Stockholders to purchase 167,961
additional shares of common stock—for accounting purposes, the additional
warrants were treated as a dividend. All outstanding shares of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock from the February 2005 Financing are now convertible
into 32.43 shares of common stock.
In
addition, as a result of the new shares sold in September 2008, AVP issued
to
Maxim, the placement agent for the February 2005 financing, a warrant to
purchase 285,241 additional shares of common stock in accordance with its
anti-dilution provision. The warrants were recorded through the Consolidated
Statement of Operations as an administrative expense with a value of $42,719,
which was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

SEGMENT REPORTING
The
Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
of
an Enterprise and Related Information." This statement establishes standards
for
the reporting of information about operating segments in annual and interim
financial statements. Operating segments are defined as components of an
enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is
evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision makers in deciding how
to
allocate resources and in assessing performance.
Our
chief
operating decision makers (i.e., our chief executive officer and his direct
reports) review financial information presented on a consolidated basis,
accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues by geographic region
for
purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. There
are
no segment managers who are held accountable by our chief operating decision
makers, or anyone else, for operations, operating results and planning for
levels or components below the consolidated unit level. Accordingly, in the
opinion of management, the Company considers itself to be in a single reporting
segment and operating unit structure and all revenues from its services are
earned in this segment.
The
Company has two geographic regions for its operations, the United States and
Australia. Revenues are attributed to geographic areas based on the locations
where the events take place. The following table depicts the geographic

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measures.” SFAS 157
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and
enhances disclosures about fair value measures required under other accounting
pronouncements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not
an
instrument is carried at fair value. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal
years
beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP
157-2,
“Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” which permits a one-year deferral for
the implementation of SFAS 157 with regard to non-financial assets and
liabilities that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial
statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The Company elected
to
defer adoption of SFAS 157 for such items and it does not currently anticipate
that full adoption in 2009 will materially impact the Company’s consolidated
results of operations or financial condition.
On
September 29, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 158, “Employers' Accounting for Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – An Amendment of SFAS No. 87,
88, 106, and 132R.” This new standard requires an employer to: (a) recognize in
its statement of financial position an asset for a plan’s overfunded status or a
liability for a plan’s underfunded status; (b) measure a plan’s assets and its
obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employer’s
fiscal year (with limited exceptions); and (c) recognize changes in the funded
status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in the year in which the
changes
occur. Those changes will be reported in comprehensive income of a business
entity and in changes in net assets of a not-for-profit organization. SFAS
158
applies to plan sponsors that are public and private companies and
nongovernmental not-for-profit organizations. The requirement to recognize
the
funded status of a benefit plan and the disclosure requirements are effective
for the fiscal year ended after December 15, 2006, for entities with publicly
traded equity securities, and at the end of the fiscal year ended after June
15,
2007, for all other entities. The requirement to measure plan assets and
benefit
obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal yearend statement of
financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15,
2008.
The adoption of this accounting pronouncement is not expected to have a material
effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities." SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to
measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value
that
are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Unrealized gains
and
losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported
in
earnings. SFAS 159 does not affect any existing accounting literature that
requires certain assets and liabilities to be carried at fair value. SFAS
159 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company
currently does not believe SFAS 159 will have a material impact on its
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, as
the
Company has elected not to apply the fair value option for any of its eligible
financial instruments and other items.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (CONTINUED)
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R, “Business Combinations-Revised.” This
new standard replaces SFAS 141 “Business Combinations.” SFAS 141R requires that
the acquisition method of accounting, instead of the purchase method, be applied
to all business combinations and that an “acquirer” be identified in the
process. The statement requires that fair market value be used to recognize
assets and assumed liabilities instead of the cost allocation method where
the
costs of an acquisition are allocated to individual assets based on their
estimated fair values. Goodwill would be calculated as the excess purchase
price
over the fair value of the assets acquired; however, negative goodwill will
be
recognized immediately as a gain instead of being allocated to individual assets
acquired. Costs of the acquisition will be recognized separately from the
business combination. The end result is that the statement improves the
comparability, relevance and completeness of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed in a business combination. SFAS 141R is effective for business
combinations which occur in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15,
2008. The adoption of SFAS 141R will impact the accounting for business
combinations completed, if any, by the Company on or after January 1,
2009.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51.” This new standard
requires that ownership interests held by parties other than the parent be
presented separately within equity in the statement of financial position;
the
amount of consolidated net income be clearly identified and presented on the
statements of income; all transactions resulting in a change of ownership
interest whereby the parent retains control to be accounted for as equity
transactions; and when controlling interest is not retained by the parent,
any
retained equity investment will be valued at fair market value with a gain
or
loss being recognized on the transaction. SFAS 160 is effective for business
combinations which occur in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15,
2008. The Company does not expect this statement to have an impact on its
consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
In
December 2007, the SEC issued SAB 110, “Certain Assumptions Used in Valuation
Methods - Expected Term.” According to SAB 110, under certain circumstances the
SEC staff will continue to accept beyond December 31, 2007 the use of the
simplified method in developing an estimate of the expected terms of share
options that possess certain characteristics in accordance with SFAS 123R beyond
December 31, 2007. The Company adopted SAB 110 effective January 1, 2008 and
will continue to use the simplified method in developing the expected term
used
for our valuation of stock-based compensation.
In
March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities - an Amendment of SFAS 133.” This new standard enhances
required disclosures regarding derivatives and hedging activities to provide
greater transparency about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative
instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are
accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and
(iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an
entity's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. To meet
those
objectives, SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and
strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value
amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about
credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS 161
is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company
does not expect this statement to have an impact on its consolidated results
of
operations or financial condition.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (CONTINUED)
In
May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles.” This standard is intended to improve financial reporting by
identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting
principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented
in
conformity with U.S. GAAP for nongovernmental entities. SFAS 162 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not
expect this statement to have a material impact on its overall consolidated
results of operations and financial position.
In
May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance
Contracts - an interpretation of SFAS 60.” SFAS 163 clarifies SFAS 60,
“Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises,” by requiring expanded
disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. Additionally, it
requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to
an
event of default (insured event), when there is evidence that credit
deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. SFAS 163 is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years, except
for
some disclosures about the insurance enterprise’s risk-management activities,
which are effective the first period (including interim periods) beginning
after
May 23, 2008. Except for those disclosures, earlier application is not
permitted. SFAS 163 is not expected to have a material impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
In
October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-3, “Determining the
Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active.”
FSP 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not
active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining
the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset
is
not active. FSP 157-3 is effective immediately, and includes prior periods
for
which financial statements have not been issued. The Company does not expect
this statement to have an impact on its consolidated results of operations
or
financial condition.

AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AVP's
Business
We
own
and operate professional beach volleyball tournaments in the United States.
The
AVP tour is the sole nationally recognized U.S. professional beach volleyball
tour. Every top U.S. men’s and women’s beach volleyball professional, including
the women’s and men’s gold medalists in the 2008 Olympic Games and the reigning
world champions, competed on the AVP tour in 2008. We have more than 200
of the
top professional players under exclusive contracts, as well as a growing
base of
spectators that we believe represent an attractive audience for national,
regional, and local sponsors. Our business includes establishing and managing
tournaments; sponsorship/advertising sales and sales of broadcast, licensing,
and trademark rights; sales of tickets, food, beverage, and merchandise at
the
tournaments; contracting with players in the tour; and associated activities.
AVP's
beach volleyball tournament season customarily commences in early April and
continues until late September or early October. For 2008, we scheduled 18
men’s
and 18 women’s events in Miami, FL; Dallas, TX; Huntington Beach, CA;
Charleston, SC; Louisville, KY; Atlanta, GA; Hermosa Beach, CA; Belmar, NJ;
Boulder, CO; Chicago, IL; Brooklyn, NY; Long Beach, CA; San Diego, CA;
Cincinnati, OH; Santa Barbara, CA; San Francisco, CA; Manhattan Beach, CA;
and
Glendale, AZ. Fourteen of the 18 cities are the same as last year. Eight
events
were held in the second quarter and ten events were held in the third
quarter.
We
partnered with Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) to produce the first-ever
indoor beach volleyball national tour, the Hot Winter Nights Tour, from January
10 to February 23, 2008. The 2008 AVP Hot Winter Nights Tour brought the
excitement and experience of an AVP beach volleyball tournament indoors,
with
each stop consisting of a three hour competition and 'beach festival.' The
2008
AVP Hot Winter Nights Tour schedule included 19 stops in many snowbound cities
in the Midwest and Northeast United States. We held indoor beach volleyball
tournaments in Oklahoma City, OK; St. Louis, MO; Kansas City, MO; Milwaukee,
WI;
Madison, WI; LaCrosse, WI; Minneapolis, MN; Columbus, OH; Albany, NY; Trenton,
NJ; Norfolk, VA; Charlottesville, VA; Omaha, NE; Rosemont, IL; Bloomington,
IL;
Spokane, WA; Everett, WA; Portland, OR; and Las Vegas NV.
We
entered a five-year agreement with the Australian Volleyball Federation (AVF)
to
promote the national beach volleyball tour in Australia. The 2008 AVF tour
schedule included five events in prominent beach locations throughout Australia:
Gold Coast in Surfers Paradise, Queensland; Manly Beach in Sydney, New South
Wales; Port Macquarie, New South Wales; Perth, Scarborough Beach, Western
Australia; and Adelaide in Glenelg, South Australia.
We
do
have not have any additional events currently scheduled in Australia.

AVP's
beach volleyball tournament season customarily commences in early April and
continues until late September or early October. Thus, AVP’s business is
primarily seasonal; substantially all revenue is recorded in the second and
third quarters. The majority of revenues are derived from sponsorship and
advertising contracts with national sponsors of the AVP Tour. AVP recognizes
national sponsorship/advertising revenue and activation fees during the tour,
as
the events occur and collection is reasonably assured, in the proportion that
prize money for an event bears to total prize money for the season. Local
sponsorship/advertising revenue, local promoter fees and local revenue are
recognized as the applicable events occur.
Sponsorship/advertising
revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2008 increased $1.0 million
as
compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007, due to the Company’s
recognizing an increased percentage of annual contracted national
sponsorship/advertising revenue of the AVP Tour, as ten events took place in
the
three months ended September 30, 2008 (out of 18 events), compared to nine
events taking place in the three months ended September 30, 2007 (out of 18
events). For the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the average
sponsorship/advertising revenue per event was $1.1 million.
The
2%
increase in activation fees was also due to ten events taking place in the
three
months ended September 30, 2008 compared to nine events taking place in the
three months ended September 30, 2007. The average activation revenue per event
for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were approximately
$88,000 and $96,000, respectively.
Local
revenue increased 5%, mainly due to an increase in the number promoter
agreements. For the three months ended September 30, 2008, we entered seven
promoter agreements, compared to five promoter agreements for the three months
ended September 30, 2007. Three of the seven agreements were structured as
a
“promoter fee” model, pursuant to which the event promoter paid AVP a promoter
fee in exchange for the right to exploit local revenue, including ticket sales,
local sponsorships, parking, and concessions. The other agreements were
restructured as a “profit-share” model, pursuant to which the event promoter is
responsible for certain specified event expenses (“approved event budget”)
including the stadium, sand, various operational costs (e.g., phone lines,
certain event personnel, and security), event permits, and/or marketing costs,
and the parties share local revenue on a 50-50 basis after recoupment of the
approved event budget. Two of the five promoter agreements entered during the
three months ended September 30, 2007 were structured as a “promoter fee” model,
and the other three were restructured as a “profit-share” model.
Miscellaneous
revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2008 increased 44% primarily
due to an increase in revenue generated from the marketing/interactive service
program—online services which provide scores & stats, video content, fan
forums, and player highlights, and AVPNext, our grass roots program.

AVP
Tour
event costs primarily include the direct costs of producing an event, costs
related to the production and the airing of events on network television, and
the cost of servicing our sponsors. AVP Tour event costs are recognized on
an
event-by-event basis, and event costs billed and/or paid prior to their
respective events are recorded as prepaid event costs and expensed at the time
the event occurs.
The
increase of $0.8 million in total event costs was attributable to one more
event
taking place during the three months ended September 30, 2008 (ten events
compared to nine events taking place during the three months ended September
30,
2007). In addition, event costs also increased due to increases in prize money
and TV production costs. For the three months ended September 30, 2008 and
2007,
the average event cost was $1.2 million.

The
increase in gross profit margin for the three months ended September 30, 2008
is
primarily due to the increase in sponsorship/advertising revenue and new revenue
generated from marketing/interactive services.
Our
quarterly results of operations and gross margins vary depending on the number
of events scheduled each quarter, the number of agreements with local promoters,
and the mode of television distribution of our events.

The
15%
or $0.3 million decrease in administrative costs was due primarily to the fact
that no transaction costs were incurred during the three months ended September
30, 2008; compared to $0.6 million in transaction costs incurred during the
three months ended September 30, 2007, which were related to the plan of merger
with Shamrock Holdings, Inc. The decrease was partially offset by an increase
in
stock-based compensation expenses as a result of employee options valued under
SFAS 123R for stock options granted to employees in 2007 and during the nine
months ended September 30, 2008 and an increase in public company
expenses.
The
6% or
$0.1 million decrease in sales and marketing costs mainly reflects a decrease
in
salary and website expenses. The decrease was partially offset by an increase
in
travel cost incurred in connection with the 2008 Summer
Olympics.

The
Company’s net income of approximately $1 thousand for the three months ended
September 30, 2008 compared to net loss of $0.8 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2007 primarily reflects an increase in
sponsorship/advertising revenue, an increase in marketing/interactive service
revenue, an increase in prize money, and a decrease in transaction costs which
was partially offset by an increase in stock-based compensation expenses.

Sponsorship/advertising
revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 decreased $1.0 million
as
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2007 mainly due to a decrease
in
annual contracted sponsorship/advertising revenue, which is the result of the
current weak advertising economy. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008
and 2007, the average sponsorship/advertising revenue per event was $1.0 million
and $1.1 million, respectively.
The
11%
decrease in activation fees was also due to a decrease in annual gross
activation revenue as a result of two sponsors from 2007 who utilized AVP’s
activation services not returning as sponsors in 2008. The average activation
revenue per event for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was
approximately $78,000 and $87,000, respectively.
Local
revenue increased 6% mainly due to an increase in the number of promoter
agreements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we entered 14 promoter
agreements compared to ten promoter agreements for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007. Five of the 14 agreements were structured as a “promoter
fee” model, pursuant to which the event promoter paid AVP a promoter fee in
exchange for the right to exploit local revenue, including ticket sales, local
sponsorships, parking, and concessions. The other agreements were restructured
as a “profit-share” model, pursuant to which the event promoter is responsible
for certain specified event expenses (“approved event budget”) including the
stadium, sand, various operational costs (e.g., phone lines, certain event
personnel, and security), event permits, and/or marketing costs, and the parties
share local revenue on a 50-50 basis after recoupment of the approved event
budget. However, two of the ten promoter agreements entered during the nine
months ended September 30, 2007 were structured as a “promoter fee” model, and
the other agreements were restructured as a “profit-share” model.
Miscellaneous
revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 increased 5% primarily
due
to an increase in AVPNext revenue. The increase in miscellaneous revenue is
also
due to an increase in marketing/interactive service revenue and trademark
licensing.

Event
costs primarily include the direct costs of producing an event, costs related
to
the production and the airing of events on network television, and the cost
of
servicing our sponsors. Event costs are recognized on an event-by-event basis,
and event costs billed and/or paid prior to their respective events are recorded
as prepaid event costs and expensed at the time the event occurs.
The
increase of $0.3 million in total event costs was mainly attributable to an
increase in TV production costs. Additional increases in prize money and event
costs incurred in connection with five outdoor events that took place in
Australia during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 were offset by the
decrease in activation costs and total event costs for the summer AVP tour.
Activation costs decreased as a result of two sponsors from 2007 who did not
return as sponsors in 2008. The decrease in total event costs for the summer
AVP
tour is attributable to the cost savings resulting from fourteen promoter events
as compared to ten promoter events for the nine months ended September 30,
2007.
The event promoters were responsible for certain operational costs of the
events. In addition, our strategy of scheduling our events in proximate
geographic areas enables us to achieve operating and cost efficiencies. For
the
nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the average event cost was $1.0
million.

The
decrease in gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2008
is
primarily due to the decrease in sponsorship/advertising revenue and an increase
in TV production costs, prize money and the net loss related to our entry into
the Australian market with the five outdoor Australian events that were held
during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2007, no Australian event was held.

The
8%,
or $0.4 million, decrease in administrative costs was due primarily to the
fact
that no transaction costs were incurred during the nine months ended September
30, 2008; as compared to $1.4 million in transaction costs incurred during
the
nine months ended September 30, 2007, which were related to the plan of merger
with Shamrock Holdings, Inc. Such decrease was offset by an increase in
stock-based compensation expenses as a result of employee options valued under
SFAS 123R for stock options granted to employees in 2007 and during the nine
months ended September 30, 2008, an increase in legal and public company costs
as a result of scheduling an annual meeting and electing a new Board of
Directors during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, as well as an
increase in SEC compliance costs related to the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002
and
travel related expenses.
The
11%,
or $0.3 million, increase in sales and marketing costs mainly reflects an
increase in website expenses, PR agency fees, and travel cost incurred in
connection with the 2008 Summer Olympics. The increase in website costs includes
an estimated payment due to a vendor for previously rendered services recorded
to preserve the relationship. The increase in PR agency fees, Olympics costs,
and consulting fees was offset by a decrease in salary, commission expense
paid
to external sales agents, and recruiting costs.

The
Company’s net loss of $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008
compared to a loss of $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30,

production costs, an increase in stock-based compensation costs, legal costs,
website expenses and the net loss related to the five outdoor Australian events
that were held during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

As
of
September 30, 2008, our primary source of liquidity is comprised of $3.2 million
of cash and cash equivalents. Over the last two years, our primary sources
of liquidity have included cash on hand at the beginning of the year, cash
flows
generated from continuing operations, and cash flows provided by financing
activities. We have generated significant cash flows from the issuance of
our common stock and preferred stock through private placements.
Cash
flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30,
2008
and 2007 were $2.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The variance in
cash
flows used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30,
2008
is primarily due to an increase in net loss. Working capital, consisting of
current assets less current liabilities, was $2.9 million at September 30,
2008
and $4.0 million at September 30, 2007.
We
believe that we should likely have sufficient liquidity to continue operations.
Our business is very sensitive to the timing of sponsorship payments from our
national and local partners for 2008. Furthermore, we are currently discussing
the renewal of sponsorship agreements for the 2009 tour season. Although we
believe we will be able to renew several of these agreements, there is no
assurance that they will be renewed, or what the terms of any such renewal will
be, in part due to macroeconomic conditions. In the longer term, if we are
unable to renew current AVP sponsors and attract new sponsors, the Company
would
implement extreme measures to preserve its ability to operate, including cost
reductions, organizational changes, and reduction in personnel.
At
September 30, 2008 and 2007, accounts receivable had increased $3.2 million
and
$2.9 million as compared to December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. At
September 30, 2008 and 2007, deferred revenues had increased $0.2 million and
decreased $1.0 million as compared to December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Deferred revenues are recorded as AVP collects revenues prior to holding certain
events.
Capital
expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were $0.1
million and $0.2 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September
30, 2008, AVP purchased information technology equipment, accounting software,
and signage equipment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, AVP
purchased information technology equipment, vehicles and rotational signage
equipment.
Cash
flows provided from financing activities for the nine months ended September
30,
2008 and 2007 were $3.3 million and $0, respectively. During the third quarter
of 2008, we completed a private placement of preferred stock and
notes/restricted shares, which generated net proceeds of $3.3 million, net
of
offering costs of $0.2 million.
Pursuant
to a Subscription Agreement dated September 8, 2008, AVP sold 50,000 shares
of
authorized but unissued Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001
per share, for a total price of $696,750. The Series B Preferred Stock is
convertible into an aggregate of 1,393,500 shares of the Company’s common stock.
Costs incurred in connection to the transaction were netted against the proceeds
received.
On
September 19, 2008, AVP completed the sale of 5,606,500 restricted shares of
the
Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value, for an aggregate purchase price of
$2,803,250 and a per share purchase price of $0.50, pursuant to a Securities
Purchase Agreement dated September 8, 2008. As part of the transaction, the
Company also entered into a loan agreement with the investor pursuant to which
investor agreed to loan $2,803,250 to AVP, against two convertible notes. The
face amount of the notes is representative of the relative number of shares
acquirable upon conversion of the notes. Unless the notes are earlier repaid
in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the loan agreement, the outstanding
principal balance of the notes will be due and payable in shares of common
stock
on September 1, 2013. The loan does not bear interest, unless there is a change
in control or an event of default. Upon a change of control of AVP or an event
of default, the loan bears 18% interest, compounded annually, and effective
from
when the loan was initially issued. Upon an event of default, the investors
have
the right to convert the notes payable into (1) a cash payment equal to the
principal and any accrued but unpaid interest, and (2) receipt of the shares
held in escrow. Had it been a change of control or an event of default as of
September 30, 2008, the Company would have to pay $2,828,586, which represents
the loan amount plus accrued interest.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Revenue
and Expense Recognition
The
majority of AVP’s revenues are derived from sponsorship and advertising
contracts with national and local sponsors. AVP recognizes national
sponsorship/advertising revenue and activation fees during the tour season,
as
the events occur and collection is reasonably assured, in the proportion that
prize money for an event bears to total prize money for the season. Cash
collected before the related events is recorded as deferred revenue. Event
costs
are recognized on an event-by-event basis. Event costs billed and/or paid before
the related events are recorded as deferred costs and expensed at the time
the
event occurs.
AVP
also
derives additional revenue from local sponsorships/advertising, promoter fees,
event ticket sales, concession rights, event merchandising, and licensing.
Revenues and expenses from the foregoing ancillary activities are recognized
on
an event-by-event basis, as the revenues are realized and collection is
reasonably assured. Licensing revenue is recognized as royalties are earned
and
collection is reasonably assured.
Income
Taxes
AVP
adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 on January 1, 2007. There
was no material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of
operation as a result of implementing FIN 48. AVP accounts for income taxes
under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases. The effect on deferred tax assets
and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period
that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce
deferred taxes to the amount that is more likely than not to be
realized.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
A
discussion of recent accounting pronouncements is included in Note 8 of Notes
to
Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited).
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
have
no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(c) of Regulation S-B.
