1. Description of
Business
Description of Business
MusclePharm
Corporation, together with its subsidiaries (the “Company” or
“MusclePharm”) is a scientifically-driven, performance lifestyle
company that develops, markets and distributes branded sports
nutrition products and nutritional supplements that are
manufactured by the Company’s contract manufacturers. The Company’s
portfolio of recognized brands, including MusclePharm, FitMiss and
MP Combat Energy is marketed and sold globally. As of March 31,
2022, the Company had the following wholly-owned subsidiary which
did not have any operations or assets as of and for the three
months ended March 31, 2022: MusclePharm Canada Enterprises
Corp.
In
2021, the Company announced its entrance into the functional energy
space in collaboration with former Rockstar Energy executives. The
Company launched three flavors of MP Combat Energy in September
2021 for domestic distribution and three additional flavors for
international distribution. The Company believes the launch of its
new energy products, reductions in operating costs and continued
focus on gross profit and revenue growth will allow it to
ultimately achieve sustained profitability. However, the Company
can give no assurances that this will occur, especially with the
cost to launch new energy products along with the recent increase
in the cost of protein, which may have a material impact on the
Company’s profitability. Additionally, the Company’s profitability
may be materially impacted by the ability of the Company’s contract
manufacturers to meet customers’ demands. Although, the Company
believes entering the functional energy space will help to increase
sales and gross margin, and reduce exposure to commodity prices,
the Company can give no assurances that this will occur. To manage
cash flow, the Company has entered into multiple financing
arrangements. The entry into the Energy Drink business has created
a second segment, which is presented in detail in Note
12.
Information About Our Segments
We
are engaged in global sales of products that fall into two
operating segments: Protein Products and Energy Drinks. Information
regarding our operating segments and geographic and product
information is contained in Note 12 to these consolidated financial
statements.
Going Concern
The
Company has historically incurred significant losses and
experienced negative cash flows since inception. As of March 31,
2022, the Company had cash of $0.5
million,
a working capital deficit of $36.3
million,
a stockholders’ deficit of $38.1
million
and an accumulated deficit of $211.8
million
resulting from recurring losses from operations. As a result of a
history of losses and financial condition, there is substantial
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern.
The
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon
it generating profits in the future and/or obtaining the necessary
financing to meet its obligations and repay liabilities arising
from normal business operations when they come due. The Company is
evaluating different strategies to obtain financing to fund its
operations to cover expenses and focus on achieving a level of
revenue adequate to support its current cost structure. Financing
strategies may include, but are not limited to, issuances of
capital stock, debt borrowings, partnerships and/or
collaborations.
The
Company has been focused on cost containment and improving gross
margins by focusing on customers with higher margins, reducing
product discounts and promotional activity, along with reducing the
number of SKU’s and negotiating improved pricing for raw materials.
In addition, the Company has worked to negotiate lower production
costs with its contract manufacturers. Although these steps
improved gross margins through the first quarter of 2022, with the
recent further increases in commodity prices, primarily protein,
the Company’s gross margins have been impacted and will continue to
be impacted unless commodity prices return the same levels that
were seen in 2021. The Company expects overall margins to improve
as we ramp up energy sales with stronger gross margins in the
energy drink segment.
COVID-19
The
Company’s results of operations are affected by economic
conditions, including macroeconomic conditions and levels of
business confidence. There continues to be significant volatility
and economic uncertainty in many markets and the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic contributes to that level of volatility and uncertainty
and has created economic disruption. The Company is actively
managing its business to respond to the impact. There were no
adjustments recorded in the financial statements that might result
from the outcome of these uncertainties.
The
ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s
operations is unknown and will depend on future developments, which
are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence,
including the duration of the COVID-19 outbreak, new information
which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic,
and any additional preventative and protective actions that
governments, or the Company, may direct, which may result in an
extended period of continued business disruption, reduced customer
traffic and reduced operations. Any resulting financial impact
cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but may have a material
impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results
of operations. Management continues to monitor the business
environment for any significant changes that could impact the
Company’s operations. The Company has taken proactive steps to
manage costs and discretionary spending, such as remote working and
reducing facility related expense.
Note
2. Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
and Principles of Consolidation
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10
of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these statements do not include all
the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete
financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
The
Company’s management believes the unaudited interim consolidated
financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring
nature necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s
financial position as of March 31, 2022, results of operations and
cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The
results of operations for the three ended March 31, 2022 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year
ended December 31, 2022.
These
unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
as amended for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC
on May 4, 2022.
Use of
Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates
include, but are not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts,
revenue discounts and allowances, the valuation of inventory, the
calculation of the Company’s effective tax rate and deferred tax
assets, valuation of stock based compensation, warrants, likelihood
and range of possible losses on contingencies and present value of
lease liabilities. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Concentrations
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations
of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable.
The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by
periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial
institution. The cash balance at times may exceed federally insured
limits. Management believes the financial risk associated with
these balances is minimal and has not experienced any losses to
date. Significant customers and vendors are those that represent
more than 10% of the Company’s net revenue or accounts receivable
for each period presented.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2022, we had three customers who
individually accounted for
59%,
13%, and
12% of
our net revenue, and two customers that individually accounted for
59% and
17% of
accounts receivable. During the three months ended March 31, 2021,
we had three customers who individually accounted for
28%,
17% and
14% of
our net revenue, and two customers that individually accounted for
32% and
21% of
accounts receivable.
The
Company uses a limited number of non-affiliated suppliers for
contract manufacturing its products. The Company has quality
control and manufacturing agreements in place with its primary
manufacturers to ensure consistency in production and quality. The
agreements ensure products are manufactured to the Company’s
specifications and the contract manufacturers will bear the costs
of recalled products due to defective manufacturing. During the
three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company had four vendors who
individually accounted for 17%, 12%, 12%, and 11% of net purchases,
respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the
Company had three vendors who individually accounted for 32%, 21% and 21% of net
purchases.
The
Company has a geographic concentration in the United States, with
94% and 71% of revenue from
domestic customers during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and
2021, respectively. International customers, primarily in Canada
and Asia, comprised 6% and 29% for the three
months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Segments
Historically,
the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) reviews
financial information presented on a consolidated basis for
purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial
performance. As such, the Company has had two reporting segments
and operating unit structures. During the fourth quarter of 2021,
the Company introduced a functional energy beverages line under the
MusclePharm and FitMiss brands, so the CODM now reviews financial
information and makes resource and opportunity decisions on a
disaggregated basis with the functional energy drink business
separate from protein products.
Litigation Estimates
and Accruals
In
the normal course of business or otherwise, the Company may become
involved in legal proceedings. The Company will accrue a liability
for such matters when it is probable that a liability has been
incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a
range of possible loss can be established, the most probable amount
in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better
estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount
in the range is accrued. The accrual for a litigation loss
contingency might include, for example, estimates of potential
damages, outside legal fees and other directly related costs
expected to be incurred. The Company provides disclosures for
material contingencies when there is a reasonable possibility that
a loss or an additional loss may be incurred. In assessing whether
a loss is a reasonable possibility, the Company may consider the
following factors, among others: the nature of the litigation,
claim or assessment, available information, opinions or views of
legal counsel and other advisors, and the experience gained from
similar cases.
Income
Taxes
Income
taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method.
Income tax expense includes the current tax liability from
operations and the change in deferred income taxes during the year.
Interest income, interest expense and penalties associated with
income taxes are reflected in (Benefit) provision for income taxes
on the consolidated statements of operations. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the consolidated financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit
carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date.
A
valuation allowance is required to be established unless management
determines that it is more likely than not that the Company will
ultimately realize the tax benefit associated with a deferred tax
asset. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions
only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained.
Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount
that is greater than 50% likely to be realized. Changes in
recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the
change in judgment occurs.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
In
July 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial
Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit
Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires
the measurement of all expected credit losses of financial assets
held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current
conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial
institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking
information to better inform their credit loss estimates. In
addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on
available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets
with credit deterioration. ASU 2016-13 is effective for periods
beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those
fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this
ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In
March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate
Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate
Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). The amendments
in this ASU apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and
other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate
that is expected to be discontinued because of reference rate
reform. The amendments in this update provide optional expedients
and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging
relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate
reform if certain criteria are met. The expedients and exceptions
provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications
made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after
December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of
December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional
expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging
relationship. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all
entities as of March 12, 2020, through December 31, 2022. The
Company has not modified any material contracts due to reference
rate reform. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact this
guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements for all
future transactions affected by reference rate reform during the
time permitted.
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt - Debt with
Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and
Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity
(Subtopic 815-40). The ASU eliminates the beneficial conversion
and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments.
It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity’s
own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because
of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance
modifies how particular convertible instruments and certain
contracts that may be settled in cash or shares impact the diluted
EPS computation. This guidance is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within
those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but not earlier
than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including
interim periods within those fiscal years. The FASB also specified
that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its
annual fiscal year and is not permitted to adopt the guidance in an
interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this
ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In
May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic
260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50),
Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and
Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The
ASU addresses issuer’s accounting for certain modifications or
exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options.
This amendment is effective for all entities, for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within
those fiscal years. There has not been a significant impact from
the adoption of this ASU on the consolidated financial
statements.
Reclassifications
Certain
prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current period financial statement presentation, including
classification of certain operating expenses.
Note
3. Inventory
Inventory
consists of finished goods and raw materials used to manufacture
the Company’s products by one of our contract manufacturers for the
three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company records
charges for obsolete and slow-moving inventory based on the age of
the product as determined by the expiration date or otherwise
determined to be obsolete. Products within one year of their
expiration dates are considered for write-off purposes. Inventory
write-downs, once established, are not reversed as they establish a
new cost basis for the inventory. Historically, the Company has had
minimal returns with established customers. The Company accounts
for its inventory on a First-in First-out basis.
The

Senior Notes Payable
On
October 13, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase
Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain
institutional investors as purchasers (the “Investors”). Pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company sold, and the
Investors purchased, $8.2 million (the
“Purchase Price”) in principal amount of senior notes (the “Senior
Notes”) and warrants (the “Warrants”).
The
Senior Notes were issued with an original issue discount of
14%, bear no interest and
mature after 6 months, on April 13, 2022. To secure its obligations
thereunder and under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company
has granted a security interest over substantially all of its
assets to the collateral agent for the benefit of the Investors,
pursuant to a pledge and security agreement.
The
maturity date of the Senior Notes was extended to May 28, 2022, on
April 12, 2022. The maturity date of the Senior Notes also may be
extended under other circumstances specified therein.
Subsequent to the extension, interest accrued from April 13, 2022
at 18% per annum until the Senior Notes are paid in
full. The
Company is undertaking various initiatives to improve gross margins
to become cash flow positive prior to the maturity of the Senior
Notes. These initiatives include improving cost of goods sold on
certain raw materials. There can be no assurance the Company will
be able to successfully implement such initiatives on a timely
basis or at all or that it otherwise will meet the conditions
required to extend the Senior Notes. If the Company is unable to
extend the Senior Notes or elects not to do so, the Company will be
required to repay the Senior Notes through equity issuances,
additional borrowings, cash flows from operations and/or other
sources of liquidity.
The
Warrants are exercisable for five (5)
years to purchase 18,463,511
shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at an
exercise price of $0.78,
subject to adjustment under certain circumstances described in the
Warrants. The Warrants have a face value of $4.4 million which is
recorded in Additional Paid-In Capital.
In
conjunction with the private placement of Senior Notes and
Warrants, each of the directors and officers of the Company entered
into lock-up agreements, which prohibited sales of the Common Stock
until after April 11, 2022, subject to certain
exceptions.
The
issuance of the Senior Notes and Warrants was made in reliance on
the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for the offer and sale of
securities not involving a public offering, and Regulation D
promulgated under the Securities Act. In accordance with ASC
470-20-25-2, proceeds from the sale of a debt instrument with stock
purchase warrants (detachable call options) are allocated to the
two elements based on the relative fair values of the debt
instrument without the warrants and of the warrants themselves at
time of issuance. The portion of the proceeds so allocated to the
warrants shall be accounted for as additional paid-in capital. The
remainder of the proceeds shall be allocated to the debt instrument
portion of the transaction.
November 2020 Convertible Note, Related Party
On
November 29, 2020, the Company entered into a refinancing agreement
with Mr. Ryan Drexler, (the “November 2020 Refinancing”), in which
the Company issued to Mr. Drexler a convertible secured promissory
note (the November 2020 “Convertible Note”) in the original
principal amount of $2.9 million, which
amended and restated a convertible secured promissory note dated as
of August 21, 2020. The $2.9 million November
2020 Convertible Note bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum.
Unless earlier converted or repaid, all outstanding principal and
any accrued but unpaid interest under the November 2020 Convertible
Note shall be due and payable on July 1, 2021, however the Company
and Mr. Drexler agreed to an extension on August 13, 2021 until
July 14, 2022. Any interest not paid when due shall be capitalized
and added to the principal amount of the November 2020 Convertible
Note and bear interest on the applicable interest payment date
along with all other unpaid principal, capitalized interest, and
other capitalized obligations.
Mr.
Drexler may, at any time, and from time to time, upon written
notice to the Company, convert the outstanding principal and
accrued interest into shares of Common Stock, at a conversion price
of $0.23
per share. At the election of the Company, one-sixth of the
interest may be paid in kind (“PIK Interest”) by adding such amount
to the principal amount of the note, or through the issuance of
shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Drexler. The PIK
Interest is convertible to common stock at the closing price per
share on the last business day of each calendar quarter. In no
event will the conversion price of such PIK Interest be less than
$0.10.
The Company may prepay the Note by giving Mr. Drexler between
15-days’ and 60-days’ notice depending upon the specific
circumstances, subject to Mr. Drexler’s conversion
right.
The
November 2020 Convertible Note contains customary restrictions on
the ability of the Company to, among other things, grant liens or
incur indebtedness other than certain obligations incurred in the
ordinary course of business. The restrictions are also subject to
certain additional qualifications and carveouts, as set forth in
the November 2020 Convertible Note. The November 2020 Convertible
Note is subordinated to certain other indebtedness of the Company
held by Prestige Capital Corporation (“Prestige”) and the Senior
Notes.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, interest expense
related to the related party convertible secured promissory note
was $0.085 million and
$0.085 million,
respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, no
interest was paid in cash to Mr. Drexler; during the three months
ended March 31, 2021 $0.085 million of interest was
paid in cash to Mr. Drexler.
August 2021 Convertible Note, Related Party
On
October 15, 2020, the Company entered into a secured revolving
promissory note (the “Revolving Note”) with Mr. Ryan Drexler. Under
the terms of the Revolving Note, the Company can borrow up to
$3.0 million. The
Revolving Note bears interest at the rate of 12%
per annum. The funds were used for the purchase of whey protein and
other general corporate purposes. Both the outstanding principal,
if any, and all accrued interest under the Revolving Note were due
on March 31, 2021, which was not paid.
On
August 13, 2021, the Company issued to Ryan Drexler (the “Holder”)
a convertible secured promissory note (the “August 2021 Convertible
Note”) in the original principal amount of $2.5 million, replacing
the Revolving Note.
The
August 2021 Convertible Note bears interest at the rate of
12%
per annum. Interest payments are due on the last day of each
calendar quarter. At the Company’s option (as determined by its
independent directors), the Company may repay up to one sixth of
any interest payment by either adding such amount to the principal
amount of the August 2021 Convertible Note or by converting such
interest amount into an equivalent amount of the Company’s common
stock, $0.001 par value per share
(the “Common Stock”). Any interest not paid when due shall be
capitalized and added to the principal amount of the August 2021
Convertible Note and bear interest on the applicable interest
payment date along with all other unpaid principal, capitalized
interest, and other capitalized obligations. Both the principal and
any accrued but unpaid interest under the August 2021 Convertible
Note will be due on July 14, 2022, unless converted or repaid
earlier.
The
Holder may, at any time, and from time to time, upon written notice
to the Company, convert the outstanding principal and accrued
interest into shares of Common Stock, at a conversion price equal
to the closing price of the common stock on October 15, 2021. The
Company may prepay the August 2021 Convertible Note by giving the
Holder between 15 and 60 days’ notice depending upon the
specific circumstances, subject to the Holder’s conversion
right.
The
August 2021 Convertible Note contains customary events of default,
including, among others, the failure by the Company to make a
payment of principal or interest when due. Following an event of
default, at the option of the Holder and upon written notice to the
Company, or automatically under certain circumstances, all
outstanding principal and accrued interest will become due and
payable. The August 2021 Convertible Note also contains customary
restrictions on the ability of the Company to, among other things,
grant liens or incur indebtedness other than certain obligations
incurred in the ordinary course of business. The restrictions are
also subject to certain additional qualifications and carveouts, as
set forth in the August 2021 Convertible Note. The August 2021
Convertible Note is subordinated to certain other indebtedness of
the Company held by Prestige Corporation (“Prestige”) and the
Senior Notes.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2022, interest expense related to
the related party convertible secured promissory note was
$0.122
million and there was no interest expense related to this
note for the three months ended March 31, 2021. During the three
months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 no interest was paid in
cash to Mr. Drexler.

March 8, 2022, the Company entered into an Unsecured Revolving
Promissory Note (the “Note”) with the Mr. Ryan Drexler. Under the
terms of the Note, proceeds may be used solely to finance the
production of orders from its largest customer or any of its
affiliates or subsidiaries. The Note does not contain a cap on
borrowings thereunder. However, further advances under the Note are
at the discretion of the Lender. Outstanding balances under the
Note accrue interest at the rate of 18% per annum. Prior to
maturity, the Company generally may pay down principal balances and
re-borrow under the Note, subject to the discretion of the Lender
to advance funds under the Note. The Note contains customary events
of default and acceleration provisions.
The
Note is subordinate to the 14% Original
Issue Discount Senior Secured Notes previously issued by the
Company. Under the terms of the First Amendment to Intercreditor
and Subordination Agreement, dated as of March 8, 2022, between the

Obligations Under Secured Borrowing Arrangement
In
January 2016, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale
Agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) with Prestige,
pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and assign, and
Prestige agreed to buy and accept, certain accounts receivable owed
to the Company (“Accounts”). Under the terms of the Purchase and
Sale Agreement, upon the receipt and acceptance of each assignment
of Accounts, Prestige will pay the Company 80%
of the net face amount of the assigned Accounts, up to a maximum
total borrowing of $12.5 million subject to
sufficient amounts of accounts receivable to secure the loan. The
remaining 20% will be
paid to the Company upon collection of the assigned Accounts, less
any chargebacks (including chargebacks for any customer amounts
that remain outstanding for over 90 days), disputes, or other
amounts due to Prestige. Prestige’s purchase of the assigned
Accounts from the Company will be at a discount fee which varies
from 0.7% to 4%, based on the number of
days outstanding from the assignment of Accounts to collection of
the assigned Accounts. In addition, the Company granted Prestige a
continuing security interest in and first priority lien upon all
accounts receivable, inventory, fixed assets, general intangibles,
and other assets. Prestige will have no recourse against the
Company if payments are not made due to the insolvency of an
account debtor within 90 days of invoice date, with the exception
of international and certain domestic customers. On April 10, 2019, the Company
and Prestige amended the terms of the agreement. The agreement was
extended until April 1, 2020 and automatically renews for one (1)
year periods unless either party receives written notice of
cancellation from the other, at minimum, thirty (30) days prior to
the expiration date thereafter.
On
June 14, 2021, Prestige advanced the Company $1.0 million with a six-month term,
15%
interest rate and 2% accommodation
fee.
On
July 26, 2021, Prestige advanced the Company $1.0 million with a six-month term and a
15%
interest rate. In addition, there was an accommodation fee equal to
1% of the amount advanced
plus 18,750 stock options.
On October 12, 2021, the June
14, 2021 and July 26, 2021 the total Prestige advance $2.0 million
was extended to the date of the termination of the senior secured
note offering, which is in April 2022, and was extended to May 28
2022.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company
assigned Prestige accounts with an aggregate face amount of
approximately $6.3
million
and $11.4
million,
respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021,
the Company made payments to Prestige in the amounts of $6.1
million
and $13.8
million,
respectively, in cash. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021,
we had outstanding borrowings of approximately $6.6
million
and $6.4
million,
respectively.
Paycheck Protection Program Loan
Due
to economic uncertainty as a result of the ongoing pandemic
(“COVID-19”), on May 14, 2020, the Company received an aggregate
principal amount of $964,910 pursuant to
the borrowing arrangement (“Note”) with Harvest Small Business
Finance, LLC (“HSBF”) and agreed to pay the principal amount plus
interest at a 1%
fixed interest rate per year, on the unpaid principal balance. The
Note includes forgiveness provisions in accordance with the
requirements of the Paycheck Protection Program, Section 1106 of
the CARES Act.
The Note was expected to mature
on May 16, 2025. Payments were due by November 16, 2020 (the
“Deferment Period”) and interest was accrued during the Deferment
Period. However, the Flexibility Act, which was signed into
law on June 5, 2020, extended the Deferment Period to the date that
the forgiven amount is remitted by the United States Small Business
Administration (“SBA”) to HSBF.
On
October 25, 2021, the Company received a letter from HSBF
indicating the Company’s SBA PPP loan has been forgiven in full by
HSBF and was recorded as a $964,910 gain on forgiveness of
debt located in other income-loan forgiveness.
Note
8. Commitments and
Contingencies
Contingencies
In
the normal course of business or otherwise, the Company may become
involved in legal proceedings. The Company will accrue a liability
for such matters when it is probable that a liability has been
incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a
range of possible loss can be established, the most probable amount
in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better
estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount
in the range is accrued. The accrual for a litigation loss
contingency might include, for example, estimates of potential
damages, outside legal fees and other directly related costs
expected to be incurred. The Company provides disclosures for
material contingencies when there is a reasonable possibility that
a loss or an additional loss may be incurred. In assessing whether
a loss is a reasonable possibility, the Company may consider the
following factors, among others: the nature of the litigation,
claim or assessment, available information, opinions or views of
legal counsel and other advisors, and the experience gained from
similar cases. As of December 31, 2021, the Company was involved in
the following material legal proceedings described
below:
White
Winston Select Asset Fund Series MP-18, LLC et al., v MusclePharm
Corp., et al., (Nev. Dist. Ct.; Cal. Superior Court; Colorado Dist.
Ct.; Mass. Super. Ct.)
On
August 21, 2018, White Winston Select Asset Fund Series MP-18, LLC
and White Winston Select Asset Fund, LLC (together “White Winston”)
initiated a derivative action against the Company and its directors
(the “director defendants”). White Winston alleges that the
director defendants breached their fiduciary duties by improperly
approving the refinancing of three promissory notes issued by the
Company to Mr. Drexler (the “Amended Note”) in exchange for
$18.0 million in loans. White
Winston alleges that this refinancing improperly diluted their
economic and voting power and constituted an improper distribution
in violation of Nevada law. In its complaint, White Winston sought
the appointment of a receiver over the Company, a permanent
injunction against the exercise of Mr. Drexler’s conversion right
under the Amended Note, and other unspecified monetary damages. On
September 13, 2018, White Winston filed an amended complaint, which
added a former executive of the Company, as a plaintiff (together
with White Winston, the “White Winston Plaintiffs”). On December 9,
2019, the White Winston Plaintiffs filed a Second Amended
Complaint, in which they added allegations relating to the
resignation of the Company’s auditor, Plante & Moran PLLC
(“Plante Moran”). the Company has moved to dismiss the Second
Amended Complaint. That motion has not yet been fully
briefed.
Along
with its complaint, White Winston also filed a motion for a
temporary restraining order (“TRO”) and preliminary injunction
enjoining the exercise of Mr. Drexler’s conversion right under the
Amended Note. On August 23, 2018, the Nevada district court issued
an ex parte TRO. On September 14, 2018, the court let the TRO
expire and denied White Winston’s request for a preliminary
injunction, finding, among other things, that White Winston did not
show a likelihood of success on the merits of the underlying action
and failed to establish irreparable harm. Following the court’s
decision, the Company filed a motion seeking to recoup the legal
fees and costs it incurred in responding to the preliminary
injunction motion. On October 31, 2019, the court awarded the
Company $56,000 in fees and
costs.
Due
to the uncertainty associated with determining our liability, if
any, and due to our inability to ascertain with any reasonable
degree of likelihood, as of the date of this report, the outcome of
the trial, the Company has not recorded an estimate for its
potential liability.
On
June 17, 2019, White Winston moved for the appointment of a
temporary receiver over the Company, citing Plante Moran’s
resignation. The court granted White Winston’s request to hold an
evidentiary hearing on the motion, but subsequently stayed the
action pending the parties’ attempts to resolve their dispute.
Although the parties have been unable to reach a resolution, the
litigation has not yet resumed. On July 30, 2019, White Winston
filed an action in the Superior Court of the State of California in
and for the County of Los Angeles, seeking access to the Company’s
books and records and requesting the appointment of an independent
auditor for the Company. On February 25, 2021, the court ordered
the Company to produce certain documents, denied White Winston’s
request for an auditor, and ordered the Company to pay a $1,500 penalty. On July 20, 2021 the
California court awarded White Winston $93,000 in attorneys’ fees and
cost relating to the books-and-records action. The Company paid the
amounts due on July 30, 2021, and on August 4, 2021 White Winston
submitted a filing acknowledging that the California court’s
judgment has been fully satisfied.
The
Company and its Chief Executive Officer have been named as
defendants in a new lawsuit filed on February 8, 2022 by White
Winston Select Asset Funds, LLC and White Winston Select Asset Fund
Series Fund MP-18, LLC (collectively, “White Winston”) in the
Superior Court of Suffolk County Massachusetts. White Winston is
bringing claims alleging unfair trade practices, abuse of process,
malicious prosecution, breach of duty of loyalty and, in the
alternative, for breach of the settlement agreement relating to the
prior action filed by White Winston in Nevada. The Company has not
yet responded to complaint and at this time cannot reasonably
estimate any loss that may arise from this matter.
Bakery
Barn, LLC v. MusclePharm Corporation
On
January 24, 2022, Bakery Barn (“Bakery Barn”) filed suit against
Company in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania court. Company received
the Complaint on February 16, 2022. Bakery Barn alleges that the
Company owes Bakery Barn over $1.9 million dollars
for breach of contract. Parties operated on an open account basis
with payment terms established by mutual verbal agreement, custom
and usage. Beginning in late 2020, Bakery Barn resumed production
for Company and operated under a verbal agreement until August
2021. Bakery Barn contends that Company is required to reimburse
Bakery Barn for foil wraps ordered by Bakery Barn in the amount of
$77,800, specific ingredients

Company in the amount of $1,816,017.
On
February 24, 2022, Flaherty Fardo Rogel & Amick, LLC (“Company
Counsel”) filed a Praecipe for Appearance on behalf of the Company.
On February 28, 2022, Company Counsel filed Preliminary Objections
to Complaint and Brief In Support Thereof. Bakery Barn filed an
Amended Complaint in Civil Action on March 14, 2022. Company
Counsel is in the process of filing Preliminary Objections to this
Amended Complaint. The Company intends to continue to vigorously
litigate the matter.
Bar
Bakers, LLC v. CFC/Flavor Producers, LLC. Vs
MusclePharm
On
March 18, 2022, the Company retained Barnes & Thornburg to
represent it in connection with a Cross-Complaint filed in the
Superior Court of California, County of Orange, Case No.
30-2019-01073098-CU-BC-CJC in the matter Bar Bakers LLC v. Creative
Flavor Concepts, Inc. et al.. According to the pleadings, the
matter arises from an agreement between the plaintiffs and
defendants in which the plaintiff agreed to manufacturer energy
bars and sell them to the defendants. The defendants then sold the
energy bars to various retailers, including the Company. On May 29,
2019, the plaintiff sued the defendants alleging that the
defendants were responsible for unpaid invoices – nine for bars
manufactured and delivered to the Company and one invoice for raw
materials. According to the pleadings, the unpaid invoices total
$885,163.72.
The invoice for the raw materials is allegedly $4,658,593.02.
On January 31, 2022, one of the defendants, Flavor Producers LLC,
filed and served a cross claim against the Company alleging that it
was partially responsible for any damages that may befall on it.
Specifically, Flavor Producers is asking the Court to award it
$389,989.60
in
compensatory damages. On March 25, 2022, the Company filed an
answer to that cross claim denying the factual allegations and
Flavor Producers’ assertion that it is entitled to any damages,
including but not limited to, compensatory damages.
ThermoLife
International
In
January 2016, ThermoLife International LLC (“ThermoLife”), a
supplier of nitrates to the Company, filed a complaint against the
Company in Arizona state court. ThermoLife alleged that the Company
failed to meet minimum purchase requirements contained in the
parties’ supply agreement. The court held a bench trial on the
issue of damages in October 2019, and on December 4, 2019, the
court entered judgment in favor of ThermoLife and against the
Company in the amount of $1.6 million, comprised of
$0.9 million in
damages, interest in the amount of $0.3 million and
attorneys’ fees and costs in the amount of $0.4 million. The Company
recorded $1.6 million in accrued expenses
in 2018. The Company has filed an appeal and posted bonds in the
total amount of $0.6 million in order to stay execution on the
judgment pending appeal. Of the $0.6 million, $0.25 million (including fees) was paid by
Mr. Drexler on behalf of the Company. See “Note 7. Debt” for
additional information. The balance of $0.35 million was secured by a personal
guaranty from Mr. Drexler, the associated fees of $12,500 and $2,500 have been paid by the Company.
On April 27, 2021, the appellate court issued a decision largely
affirming the trial court judgement, except vacating the
judgement’s $0.3 million
prejudgment interest award and remanding for a recalculation of
prejudgment interest. On May 18, 2021, ThermoLife filed a motion
asking the trial court to increase the Company’s appeal bond to the
full amount of the judgment, or $1.9 million, which the Court
denied on June 2, 2021.
As of
March 31, 2022, the total amount accrued, including interest, was
$1.9 million. For the three
months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, interest expense recognized
on the awarded damages was $0.022 million
and $0.022 million,
respectfully.
On
May 4, 2022, the Arizona Supreme Court denied the Company’s
petition for review of the decision of the appellate court and
granted ThermoLife’s request for attorney’s fees.
Settlements
Manchester
City Football Group
The
Company was engaged in a dispute with City Football Group Limited
(“CFG”), the owner of Manchester City Football Group, concerning
amounts allegedly owed by the Company under a sponsorship agreement
with CFG (the “Sponsorship Agreement”). .
On
July 28, 2017, the Company approved a Settlement Agreement (the
“CFG Settlement Agreement”) with CFG effective July 7, 2017. The
CFG Settlement Agreement represents a full and final settlement of
all litigation between the parties. Under the terms of the
agreement, the Company agreed to pay CFG a sum of $3 million, which was recorded
as accrued expenses in 2017. The settlement consists of a
$1.0 million payment that was
advanced by a related party on July 7, 2017, a $1.0 million installment paid on
July 7, 2018 and a subsequent $1.0 million installment payment to
paid by July 7, 2019. Of this amount, the Company has remitted
$0.3 million.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company
recorded a charge of $0.018 million and $0.018 million,
respectively. This charge, representing imputed interest, is
included in “Interest expense” in the Company’s consolidated
statements of operations.
Nutrablend
Matter
On
February 27, 2020, Nutrablend, a manufacturer of MusclePharm
products, filed an action against the Company in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of California, claiming
approximately $3.1 million in allegedly
unpaid invoices. These invoices relate to the third and fourth
quarter of 2019, and a liability has been recorded for the related
periods.
On
September 25, 2020, the parties successfully mediated the case to a
settlement (the “Nutrablend Agreement”) and the Company agreed to (i) pay
approximately $3.1 million (“Owed
Amount”) in monthly payments (“Monthly Payments”) from September 1,
2020 through June 30, 2023 and (ii) issue monthly purchase orders
(“Purchase Orders”) at minimum amounts accepted by
Nutrablend.
The
Company agreed to issue Purchase Orders in a combined total amount
of at least (i) $1.5 million from September 1, 2020
through November 30, 2020; (ii) $1.8 million from December 1, 2020
through February 28, 2021; (iii) $2.1 million from March 31, 2021
through May 31, 2021; (iv) $2.1 million from June 1, 2021
through August 31, 2021; and (v) $1.4 million from September 1, 2021
through October 30, 2021. Beginning on November 1, 2021, the
Company will be required to issue monthly Purchase Orders to
Nutrablend in a minimum amount of $0.7 million until the Owed Amount
is paid in full to Nutrablend. In the event that the Company pays
the Owed Amount in full before September 1, 2021, it’s entitled to
a rebate on all completed Purchase Orders. Further, once the
monthly payments, and any additional payments that the Company has
made on the Owed Amount, reduce the outstanding balance of the Owed
Amount to below $2.0 million, the Company is
eligible for an extension of a line of credit from Nutrablend in an
amount of up to $3.0 million.
On
July 7, 2021, the Company commenced an action against Nutrablend in
the Central District of California, seeking (i) a declaration that
the Nutrablend Agreement purchase order provisions have been
terminated due to Nutrablend’s failure to provide the Company with
reasonable assurances of its ability to fulfill its purchase
orders; (ii) a declaration that approximately $2.0 million in purchase orders that
the Company placed in July and August 2020 were intended to and do
count towards the minimums set forth in the Nutrablend Agreement;
and (iii) damages based on Nutrablend’s failure to fulfill purchase
orders. The case is ongoing.
As of
March 31, 2022, the Company determined that approximately
$0.998 million of the
owed amount was due within a year, and this amount was recorded in
“Accrued and other liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets.
The present value of the remaining Owed Amount that was due after a
year was $0.250 million, and the
amount was recorded in “Other long-term liabilities” in the
consolidated balance sheets. The Company made payments of
$0.303 million and
$0.189 million during the
three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021,
respectively.
On
September 23, 2021, the Company entered into an Amendment to a
Settlement Agreement that was originally entered into on September
25, 2020. Pursuant to the Amended Agreement, the Company is no
longer obligated to issue Purchase Orders to Nutrablend as stated
in the Settlement Agreement, which, as stated in the Form 8-K dated
September 25, 2020, consisted of at least (i) $1.5 million from September 1, 2020
through November 30, 2020; (ii) $1.8 million from December 1, 2020
through February 28, 2021; (iii) $2.0 million from March 1, 2021
through May 31, 2021; (iv) $2.1 million from June 1, 2021
through August 31, 2021; and (v) $1.4 million from September 1, 2021
through October 30, 2021. The Monthly Payments provision of the
Settlement Agreement remains unchanged.
4Excelsior
Matter
On
March 18, 2019, Excelsior Nutrition, Inc. (“4Excelsior”), a
manufacturer of MusclePharm products, filed an action against the
Company in the Superior Court of the State of California for the
County of Los Angeles, claiming approximately $6.2 million in
damages relating to allegedly unpaid invoices, as well as
approximately $7.8 million in consequential
damages.
On
December 16, 2020, the Company and 4Excelsior entered into a
Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (“the Agreement”), pursuant
to which the parties resolved and settled the civil action pending
in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of
Los Angeles (the “Litigation”). The parties agreed to a mutual
general release of claims and to jointly file within 10 business
days of the effective date of the Agreement a stipulation and
proposed order of dismissal, dismissing with prejudice all claims
and counterclaims asserted in the Litigation. The Company agreed to
pay $4.75 million (the
“Settlement Amount”) in four monthly payments of $70,000, beginning January
5, 2021, and thereafter in monthly payments of $100,000
until the Settlement Amount is fully paid. The Company may prepay
all or any portion of the Settlement Amount at any time without
penalty or premium. The Agreement provides that, in the event of a
Default (as defined in the Agreement) by the Company, the entire
outstanding balance of the Settlement Amount will become
immediately due and payable, plus accrued interest at a rate of
18% per annum, commencing from the
date of default.
The
Company determined that approximately $1.1 million of the
Settlement Amount was due within a year, and this amount was
recorded in “Accrued and other liabilities” in the consolidated
balance sheets. The present value of the remaining Settlement
Amount that was due after a year was $1.6 million, and the
amount was recorded in “Other long-term liabilities” in the
consolidated balance sheets. The Company made payments of
$0.3 million and
$0.2 million during the
three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021,
respectively.

Basic
net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income
(loss) for the period by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during each period.
Diluted
net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income
(loss) for the period by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive
securities outstanding during each period. The Company uses the
treasury stock method to determine whether there is a dilutive
effect of outstanding potentially dilutive securities, and the
if-converted method to assess the dilutive effect of the
convertible notes.
As of March 31, 2022,
there were fully vested stock options of
1,651,884 that would have been dilutive had the Company had
net income.
The
following securities were excluded from the computations of the
diluted net income (loss) per share, for the three months ended
March 31, 2022 and 2021 as the effect of the securities would be
anti-dilutive:

Note
11. Income
Taxes
The
Company’s tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and
2021 was zero.
Income
taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in
the consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes
currently due. Deferred taxes relate to differences between the
basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax
reporting which will be either taxable or deductible when the
assets or liabilities are recovered or settled. In assessing the
realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether
it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of
deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of
future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary
differences become deductible.
Management
considers the scheduled reversal of deferred income tax
liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning
strategies in making this assessment. Based on consideration of
these items, management has determined that enough uncertainty
exists relative to the realization of the deferred income tax asset
balances to warrant the application of a full valuation allowance
as of March 31, 2022.
Note
12. Segment
Information and Geographic Data
Historically,
the Company’s chief operating decision maker reviews financial
information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of
allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. As such,
the Company has had a single reporting segment and operating unit
structure. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company introduced
a functional energy beverages line under the MusclePharm and
FitMiss brands, at which time, the CODM commenced reviewing
financial information on a disaggregated basis with the functional
energy drink business separate from base business of protein
products. During 2021, revenues for the functional energy drink
segment were not material, but it is anticipated to become a more
significant segment of the Company’s business going forward. (All

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You
should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial
condition and results of operations together with and our financial
statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to historical
information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking
statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our

as may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by
other reports we file with the SEC. All amounts in this report are
in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted.

Our
consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual
method of accounting in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and have been
prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the
realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the
normal course of business.
Our
results of operations are affected by economic conditions,
including macroeconomic conditions and levels of business
confidence. There continues to be significant volatility and
economic uncertainty in many markets and the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic has increased that level of volatility and uncertainty and
has created economic disruption. We are actively managing our
business to respond to the impact. There were no adjustments
recorded in the financial statements that might result from the
outcome of these uncertainties.
COVID-19
The
worldwide spread of COVID-19, including the emergence of variants,
has resulted, and may continue to result in a global slowdown of
economic activity, which may decrease demand for a broad variety of
goods and services, while also disrupting supply channels, sales
channels and advertising and marketing activities for an unknown
period of time until the COVID-19 pandemic is contained, or
economic activity normalizes. With the current uncertainty in
economic activity, the impact on our revenue and results of
operations is likely to continue and the size and duration of the
impact we are currently unable to accurately predict. The extent of
the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and
financial performance will depend on a variety of factors,
including the duration and spread of COVID-19 and its variants, and
its impact on our customers, contract manufacturers, vendors,
industry and employees, all of which are uncertain at this time and
cannot be accurately predicted. See “Item 1.A Risk Factors”
for further discussion of the adverse impacts of the COVID-19
pandemic on our business.
Factors
Affecting Our Performance
As we
continue to execute our growth strategy and focus on our core
products, we believe that we can, over time, continue to improve
our operating margins and expense structure. In addition, we have
implemented plans focused on cost containment, customer
profitability, product and pricing controls that we believe will
improve our gross margin and reduce our losses.
We
expect that our advertising and promotion expense will continue to
decrease as we focus on reducing our expenses and shifting our
promotional costs, in part, from general branding and product
awareness to acquiring customers and driving sales from existing
customers. We expect that our discounts and allowances will
continue to decrease, both overall and as a percentage of revenue,
as we further reduce certain discretionary promotional activity
that does not result in a commensurate increase in
revenues.

Revenue, net
We
derive our revenue through the sales of our various branded sports
nutrition products, nutritional supplements and energy drinks.
Revenue is recognized when control of a promised good is
transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the
consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for
the good. This usually occurs when finished goods are delivered to
the Company’s customers or when finished goods are picked up by a
customer’s carrier.
Net
revenue reflects the transaction prices for contracts, which
includes goods shipped at selling list prices reduced by discounts
and sales allowances. We record discounts and sales allowances as a
direct reduction of revenue for various discounts provided to our
customers, consisting primarily of promotional related credits.
Sales discounts are a significant part of our marketing plan to our
customers as they help drive increased sales and brand awareness
with end users through promotions that we support through our
distributors and re-sellers.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2022, our net revenues were
approximately $13.1 million compared to $13.1 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2021, a decline of approximately $20,000 or
0%. Net revenue for the energy segment was up $1 million, primarily
driven by volume, while net revenue for the protein products
segment was down $1 million. During the three months ended March
31, 2022, the Company had three customers who individually
accounted for 59%, 13% and 12% of our net revenue. During the three
months ended March 31, 2021, the Company had three customers who
individually accounted for 28%, 17% and 14% of our net revenue.
During the 1st Quarter of 2022 the Company instituted a
price increase with select customers, contributing to 7.4 % of
revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Discounts
and sales allowances declined to approximately 11% of gross
revenue, or $1.6 million, for the three months ended March 31,
2022, compared to approximately 15% of gross revenue, or $2.4
million, for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Discounts and
sales allowances fluctuate based on customer mix and changes in
discretionary promotional activity. We continue to monitor our
discounts and allowances, reducing where practical to continue to
meet our gross margin expectation.
Cost of Revenue and Gross Profit
Cost
of revenue for our products is related to the production,
manufacturing, and freight-in of the related products purchased
from third-party manufacturers. We primarily use contract
manufacturers to drop ship products directly to our
customers.
We
experienced cost increases for raw materials during the three
months ended March 31, 2022 primarily due to industry shortages in
supply and consistent with market demand. Compared to the prior
year, commodity protein costs have increased 90% negatively
affecting our gross margin. We are taking steps to manage the
increase and shortages by entering into agreements with additional
protein brokers to diversify our protein sources, along with
working with new vendors to source other component such as tubs,
trays and bags.
We
have focused on cost containment and improving gross margins by
concentrating on customers with higher margins, reducing product
discounts and promotional activity, along with reducing the number
of SKU’s and negotiating improved pricing for raw materials. With
recent increases in commodity prices, our gross margins have eroded
and will continue to be impacted.
We
are focusing on growing the energy segment which contributed to two
points of margin in the three months ended March 31,
2022.
Selling and promotion
Our
selling and promotion expense consists primarily of expenses
related to freight-out, print and online advertising, club
demonstrations, and stock-based compensation. Historically,
advertising and promotions were a large part of both our growth
strategy and brand awareness, in particular strategic partnerships
with sports athletes and fitness enthusiasts and endorsements,
licensing, and co-branding agreements. Additionally, we
co-developed products with sports athletes and teams. In connection
with our restructuring plan, we terminated most of these contracts
in a strategic shift away from such costly arrangements and moved
toward digital advertising, ambassador programs and sampling
promotional materials.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2022, our selling and promotion
expenses were approximately $1.2 million compared to $1.1 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $11,000
or 1%. The increase was primarily related to an increase in
freight-out and stock-based compensation related to our Energy
business and offset by decreases in Club Demonstrations. Freight
out is up $77,000 or 11% and Stock based compensation is up
$142,000 or 100%. Club demonstrations were down $222,000 or 75%.
All other selling and promotion expenses represent an increase of
$14,000.
General and Administrative
Our
general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries
and benefits, professional fees, depreciation and amortization,
research and development, information technology equipment and
network costs, facilities related expenses, directors’ fees, legal
fees, accounting and audit fees, consulting fees, stock-based
compensation, investor relations costs, insurance, bad debt and
other corporate expenses.
For
the three months ended March 31, 2022, our general and
administrative expenses were approximately $2.8 million compared
$2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, or an
increase of approximately $561,000 or 25%. This was due to an
increase in professional fees associated with accounting fees, an
increase in salaries and benefits associated with stock-based
compensation and an increase in bad debt expense, offset by a
reduction in office and IT expenses. Professional fees are up
$213,000 or 41%, salaries and benefits are up $176,000 or 17%, and
bad debt expense is up $344,000 or 3100% and office/IT expenses are
down $96,000 or 39%. All other general and administrative expenses
represent a decrease of $76,000.
Gain on Settlements
For
the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, gain on settlements
was $12,000 and $200,000 respectively.
Interest Expense
For
the three months ended March 31, 2022, interest expense was
approximately $3.8 million compared to $0.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2021, or an increase of $3.3 million or
645%.
Interest
expense increased primarily due to the $3.2 million amortization of
stock warrants associated with the issuance of the Senior Secured
debt offering during the year ended December 31, 2021.
Other (Expense) Income, Net
For
the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, other expense was
$12,000, compared to other income of $132,000
respectively.
Provision for Income Taxes
For
the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, tax expense was
zero. Our provision for income taxes consists primarily of federal
and state income taxes in the U.S. and income taxes in foreign
jurisdictions in which we conduct business. Due to uncertainty, as
to the realization of benefits from our deferred tax assets,
including net operating loss carryforwards, research and
development and other tax credits, we have a full valuation
allowance reserved against such assets. We expect to maintain this
full valuation allowance at least in the near term.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We
have incurred significant losses and experienced negative cash
flows since inception. As of March 31, 2022, we had cash of $0.5
million, a decline of $0.7 million from the December 31, 2021
balance of $1.2 million. As of March 31, 2022, we had a working
capital deficit of $36.3 million, a stockholders’ deficit of $38.1
million and an accumulated deficit of $211.8 million resulting from
recurring losses from operations. As a result of our history of
losses and financial condition, there is substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon us
generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the
necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our
liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come
due. We are evaluating different strategies to obtain financing to
fund our expenses and achieve a level of revenue adequate to
support our current cost structure. Financing strategies may
include, but are not limited to, issuances of capital stock, debt
borrowings, partnerships and/or collaborations.
We
have funded our operations from proceeds from the sale of equity
and debt securities. We will require significant additional capital
to make the investments we need to execute our longer-term business
plan. Our ability to successfully raise sufficient funds through
the sale of debt or equity securities when needed is subject to
many risks and uncertainties and, even if it were successful,
future equity issuances would result in dilution to our existing
shareholders and future debt securities may contain covenants that
limit our operations or ability to enter into certain
transactions.
We
will need to raise additional funding through strategic
relationships, public or private equity or debt financings, grants
or other arrangements to develop and seek regulatory approvals for
our existing and new product candidates. If such funding is not
available, or not available on terms acceptable to us, our current
development plan and plans for expansion of our general and
administrative infrastructure may be curtailed.

Non-GAAP
Adjusted EBITDA
In
addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance
with GAAP, this Form 10-Q discloses Adjusted EBITDA, which is net
loss adjusted for stock-based compensation, (gain) on settlement of
accounts payable, interest expense, depreciation of property and
equipment, amortization of intangible assets, and (gain) or loss on
foreign currency.
Management
uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplement to GAAP measures to further
evaluate period-to-period operating performance, as well as the
Company’s ability to meet future working capital requirements.
Management believes this non-GAAP measures will provide investors
with important additional perspectives in evaluating the Company’s
ongoing business performance.
The
GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net
income (loss). The non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA
should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss).
Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP
and has important limitations as an analytical tool and should not
be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our
results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA excludes
some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss) and is
defined differently by different companies, our definition of
Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
of other companies.

Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with GAAP and form the basis for the following discussion and
analysis on critical accounting policies and estimates. The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates and
assumptions on a regular basis. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results could differ from these estimates and those
differences could have a material effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
The
preparation of our Financial Statements and the related disclosures
in conformity with GAAP, requires our management to make judgments,
assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts of revenue,
expenses, income, assets, and liabilities, reported in our
Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Understanding our
accounting policies and the extent to which our management uses
judgment, assumptions, and estimates in applying these policies is
integral to understanding our Financial Statements.
We
describe our most significant accounting policies in “Note 2,
Significant Accounting Policies” of our consolidated notes to our
Financial Statements and found elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
These policies are considered critical because they may result in
fluctuations in our reported results from period to period due to
the significant judgments, estimates, and assumptions about highly
complex and inherently uncertain matters. In addition, the use of
different judgments, assumptions, or estimates could have a
material impact on our financial condition or results of
operations. We evaluate our critical accounting estimates and
judgments required by our policies on an ongoing basis and update
them as appropriate based on changing conditions.
Revenue Recognition
Our
revenue represents sales of finished goods inventory and is
recognized when control of the promised goods is transferred to our
customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to
be entitled to in exchange for those goods. The reserves for trade
promotions and product discounts, including sales incentives, are
established based on our best estimate of the amounts necessary to
settle existing credits for products sold as of the balance sheet
date.
All
such costs are netted against sales. These costs include end-aisle
or other in-store displays, contractual advertising fees and
product discounts, and other customer specific promotional
activity. We provide reimbursement to our customers for such
amounts as credits against amounts owed. To determine the
appropriate timing of recognition of consideration payable to a
customer, all consideration that is payable to our customers is
reflected in the transaction price at inception and reassessed
routinely.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts
Accounts
receivable represents trade obligations from customers that are
subject to normal trade collection terms and are recorded at the
invoiced amount, net of any sales discounts and allowance for
doubtful accounts, and do not typically bear interest. We assess
the collectability of the accounts by taking into consideration the
aging of accounts receivable, changes in customer credit
worthiness, general market and economic conditions, and historical
experience. Bad debt expenses are recorded as part of “General and
administrative” expenses in the consolidated statements of
operations. We reserve the receivable balance against the allowance
when management determines a balance is uncollectible. We also
review our customer discounts, and an accrual is made for discounts
earned but not yet utilized at each period end.
Litigation Estimates and Accruals
In
the normal course of business or otherwise, we may become involved
in legal proceedings. We will accrue a liability for such matters
when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the
amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of possible
loss can be established, the most probable amount in the range is
accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than
any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range
is accrued. The accrual for a litigation loss contingency might
include, for example, estimates of potential damages, outside legal
fees and other directly related costs expected to be incurred. We
provide disclosures for material contingencies when there is a
reasonable possibility that a loss or an additional loss may be
incurred. In assessing whether a loss is a reasonable possibility,
we may consider the following factors, among others: the nature of
the litigation, claim or assessment, available information,
opinions or views of legal counsel and other advisors, and the
experience gained from similar cases.
Share-Based Payments and Stock-Based
Compensation
Share-based
compensation awards, including stock options and restricted stock
awards, are recorded at estimated fair value on the applicable
awards’ grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that
are expected to vest. The grant date fair value is amortized on a
straight-line basis over the time in which the awards are expected
to vest, or immediately if no vesting is required. Share-based
compensation awards issued to non-employees for services are also
recorded at fair value on the grant date. The fair value of
restricted stock awards is based on the fair value of the stock
underlying the awards on the grant date as there is no exercise
price.
The
fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model. The determination of the fair value of each
stock award using this option-pricing model is affected by our
assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables.
These variables include, but are not limited to, the expected stock
price volatility over the term of the awards and the expected term
of the awards based on an analysis of the actual and projected
employee stock option exercise behaviors and the contractual term
of the awards. Due to our limited experience with the expected term
of options, the simplified method was utilized in determining the
expected option term as prescribed in ASC 718 Compensation – Stock
Compensation.
We
recognize our stock-based compensation expense over the requisite
service period, which is generally consistent with the vesting of
the awards, based on the estimated fair value of all stock-based
payments issued to employees and directors that are expected to
vest.
There
have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies
during the period covered by this report.
Warrants
In
conjunction with the Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”), we
issued 18,463,511 warrants to the senior note holders. The warrants
entitle the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at an
exercise price equal to $.7794 per share at any time on or after
October 13, 2021 (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to
the close of business on October 13, 2026 the “Termination Date”).
We determined that these warrants are free standing financial
instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable
from the debt instruments. Management also determined that the
warrants are puttable for cash upon a fundamental transaction at
the option of the holder and as such required classification as
equity pursuant to ASC 470. In accordance with the accounting
guidance, the outstanding warrants are recognized as equity on the
balance sheet. The proceeds from the sale of a debt instrument with
stock purchase warrants (detachable call options) shall be
allocated to the two elements based on the relative fair values of
the debt instrument without the warrants, and of the warrants
themselves at time of issuance. The allocation of the portion of
the value resulted in a discount of the debt instrument. The fair
value of the warrants were measured using the Black Scholes option
pricing model.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See
Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a
discussion of recent accounting pronouncements or changes in
accounting pronouncements that are of significance, or potential
significance, to us.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MARKET RISK
The
Company is not required to provide the information required by this
Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Rule
12b-2 of the Exchange Act.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Background
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer have
evaluated disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022.
Based on this evaluation, they concluded that because of the
material weaknesses in our internal control over financial
reporting discussed below, our internal controls and procedures
were not effective as required under Rule 13a-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”).
Disclosure
controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information
required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and
forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us
in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our
principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons
performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange
Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting
is a process affected by our management to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with GAAP.
In
designing and evaluating our internal controls and procedures, our
management recognized that internal controls and procedures, no
matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only a
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
internal controls and procedures are met. In addition, any
evaluation of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial
reporting in future periods is subject to risk that those internal
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such
that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis.
Our
management assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over
financial reporting as of March 31, 2022. In making this
assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission’s 2013
Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on its assessment, as
well as factors identified during the Audit Committee investigation
and subsequent audit process, management has concluded that our
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021
was not effective due to the existence of the material weaknesses
in internal control over financial reporting described
below.
Material Weaknesses
The
Company has deficiencies in the design and operation of its
internal controls in the financial processes related to the
accounting for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable,
inventory, accrued liabilities, income taxes, debt, equity,
revenue, costs of sales, stock-based compensation, and expenses
classification. In addition, the Company has insufficient controls
over the financial close and reporting process, including account
reconciliations and preparation and review of financial statements
and related disclosures. Significant employee turnover and lack of
technical expertise in the accounting function, has led to a lack
of documentation and inconsistent practices in the implementation
and execution of internal controls, including those at the entity
level, information technology general controls, segregation of
duties controls, and business process controls.
Remediation
Our
remedial actions to date and remediation plans to be undertaken in
response to the material weaknesses on internal control over
financial reporting and our conclusions reached in evaluating the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and
internal controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2022 and
2021, are described below.
|
● |
We
are in the process of designing and expect to implement, measures
that we believe address or will address these control weaknesses,
we continue to develop our internal controls, processes and
reporting systems by, among other things, hiring qualified
personnel with expertise to perform specific functions, and
designing and implementing improved processes and internal
controls, including ongoing senior management review and audit
committee oversight. We plan to remediate the identified material
weakness through the redistribution of job responsibilities, after
hiring additional senior accounting staff, with additional
technical accounting expertise and through the design and
implementation of additional internal controls in order to promote
adequate segregation of duties. Additionally, we intend to
designate a member of management to review and improve our internal
control processes. We expect to complete the remediation in 2022.
We expect to incur additional costs to remediate the material
weaknesses, primarily personnel costs for both internal and
external resources. |
|
|
|
|
● |
We
may not be successful in implementing these changes or in
developing other internal controls, which may undermine our ability
to provide accurate, timely and reliable reports on our financial
and operating results. Further, we will not be able to fully assess
whether the steps we are taking will remediate the material
weakness in our internal control over financial reporting until we
have completed our implementation efforts and sufficient time
passes in order to evaluate their effectiveness. In addition, if we
identify additional material weaknesses in our internal control
over financial reporting, we may not detect errors on a timely
basis and our financial statements may be materially misstated.
Moreover, in the future we may engage in business transactions,
such as acquisitions, reorganizations or implementation of new
information systems that could negatively affect our internal
control over financial reporting and result in material
weaknesses. |
We
expect to progress on our remediation efforts during the remainder
of 2022.
Notwithstanding
the material weaknesses described in this Item 4, Management has
concluded that the consolidated financial statements and related
financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q presents fairly, in all material respects, our financial
position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods
presented in conformity with GAAP. Management’s position is based
on a number of factors, including, but not limited to:
● |
With
the substantial resources expended (including the use of external
consultants); |
|
|
● |
The
reconsideration of significant accounting policies and accounting
practices previously employed by the Company, resulting in other
adjustments to previously issued consolidated financial statements;
and |
|
|
● |
Based
on the actions described above, we have updated, and in some cases
corrected, our accounting policies and have applied those to our
consolidated financial statements for all periods
presented. |
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
have not been any changes in our internal control over financial
reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM
1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From
time to time, we may be subject to litigation and claims arising in
the ordinary course of business. For information regarding legal
proceedings, see Note 8 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (unaudited) contained herein, which is incorporated by
