HEALTH ENHANCEMENT PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS [Continued]


Supplemental Disclosure of Non-Cash Investing and Financing Activities:


Six Months ended June 30, 2009: 


During the three month period of time ending on March 31, 2009, the Company converted $50,000 of convertible debentures and $807 in accrued interest with the issuance of 203,227 shares of common stock.  The Company issued convertible debentures for $47,500 principal and recorded a discount on the debentures of $39,500.


During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company issued 557,500 shares of common stock to employees for payment of accrued salaries valued at $55,750.. The Company issued 66,667 shares of common stock for payment of accounts payable in the amount of $6,000.  The Company issued 810,000 shares of common stock against common stock subscribed totaling $40,500.  The Company recorded a debt discount of $110,539 in connection with restructured convertible debt.


During the second quarter of 2009 the Company issued 931,048 shares of common stock to employees which included payment of accrued salaries valued at $46,553.    The Company issued 500,000 shares of common stock for payment of accounts payable in the amount of $8,487 and services amounting to $46,513.    The Company issued convertible debentures for $37,600 principal and recorded a discount on the debentures of $37,600.


During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company issued a $15,000 Convertible note in exchange for a cash advance received in a prior period.


In June of 2009 the Company issued 800,000 shares of common stock, and warrants to purchase 800,000 shares of stock at an exercise price of $.10 per share, to a significant shareholder and former CEO as compensation for such shareholder having transferred property to third parties as inducement to make an equity investment in the Company.  The total invested by these third parties totaled $35,000.  The shares were valued at $96,000, and the warrants were valued at approximately $92,000 using the Black Scholes pricing model, with the following assumptions:  volatility 227.05%, annual rate of dividends 0%, discount rate 3.1%.


Six Months ended June 30, 2008:


During the three-month period ending June 30, 2008, the Company issued 2,281,720 shares of common stock upon conversion of $575,000 in principal and $2,481 in interest as a result of conversion of debt.


The Company recorded a combined debt discount of $151,000 to reflect the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible debt and value of the related warrants.

During the three-month period ending June 30, 2008, the Company issued 129,511 shares of common stock upon conversion of $50,000 in principal and $382 in interest as a result of conversion of debt.


The accompanying notes are an integral part of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements

HEALTH ENHANCEMENT PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Health Enhancement Products, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”).  All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, the financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the information set forth therein.  These consolidated financial statements are condensed, and therefore do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2008 consolidated audited financial statements and supplementary data included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 18, 2009.


The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, or any other period.


In February, 2007, we established HEPI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“HEPI Pharma”) as a wholly owned subsidiary of Health Enhancement Products, Inc.  The purpose of the pharmaceutical subsidiary will be to develop potential pharmaceutical applications for the Company’s primary product, ProAlgaZyme®(PAZ). In connection with the formation of HEPI Pharma, we entered into a Pharmaceutical Development Agreement with our new subsidiary. Under the Development Agreement, we granted the subsidiary the right to develop the potential pharmaceutical applications of PAZ and its derivatives. In exchange for these rights, we became the sole stockholder of the subsidiary and are entitled to certain payments based on the attainment of specified development milestones and sales revenues.

The Company incurred net losses of $1,014,512 and $1,166,897 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  In addition, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $506,784 and a stockholders’ deficit of $620,171 at June 30, 2009.  These factors continue to raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company is endeavoring to increase the likelihood that it will be able to continue as a going concern by seeking to increase its sales revenue, and by raising additional capital.  During the first six months of 2009, the Company raised approximately $258,000  in net proceeds from the private sale of its common stock and exercise of warrants, and the issuance of convertible debentures.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to increase its sales or raise additional capital.


There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be generated during the next year or thereafter from operations or that funds will be available from external sources such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources.  The lack of additional capital could force the Company to curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business.  Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company's existing stockholders.


The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In the first quarter of 2009, convertible debentures in the principal amount of $196,000 were restructured.  The conversion rate was reduced to $.05 per share from $.10 per share, and the warrants were cancelled.  As a result, the Company wrote off the unamortized portion of debt discount related to the relative fair value of the warrants amounting to $110,539 and  recalculated the debt discount with respect to the new beneficial conversion feature in the amount of $122,284.  The newly calculated debt discount is being amortized over the remaining period of the notes.   In addition, amortization of debt discount for the convertible notes for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $29,147.


Also during the first and second quarters of 2009, the Company sold for aggregate consideration of $100,100, 1% convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $100,100.  The Convertible Notes accrue interest at the rate of 1% per annum, are non-amortizing, have a term of 3 years, subject to the Company’s right to extend the term for an additional three years, cannot be prepaid, and are convertible, at any time prior to the maturity date, as the same may be extended, at the discretion of the holder, into shares of common stock, at a rate equal to $.05 per share. Accrued interest will be paid on the maturity date, as the same may be extended, in shares of Common Stock, valued at $.05 per share, and, unless the Convertible Note is converted prior to its maturity date, as the same may be extended, at the Company’s option, the principal amount of the Note may, on the maturity date, as extended, be repaid in cash or converted into common stock at a rate equal to $.05 per share.  The Company recorded a deferred debt discount in the amount of $92,100, to reflect the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible debt.   The Company is amortizing the debt discount over the term of the debt.  Amortization of debt discount was $7,304 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  


 During the three month period of time ending on March 31, 2009, the Company converted $50,000 of convertible debentures and $807 in accrued interest with the issuance of 203,227 shares of common stock.  In connection with the conversion, the Company wrote off unamortized discount of $19,581.


Amortization of the debt discount on the remaining 2007 notes was $14,142 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

NOTE 7 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


Office Space - We are subleasing approximately 15,000 square feet of office and production space located in Scottsdale, Arizona from a significant shareholder, Howard Baer. This Amended and Restated Sublease expires on February 9, 2020, provided that we have the unilateral right to terminate the Lease on March 31, 2013. The annual base rent for the 15,000 square foot facility is approximately $237,000 and is payable in equal monthly installments of approximately $20,000. The annual base rent is subject to increase annually in an amount equal to the greater of 2.5% of the prior year’s base rent and the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index. We paid an additional security deposit of approximately $110,000. The Amended and Restated Sublease is a “net lease”, which means that we are responsible for the real estate taxes, maintenance, insurance and repairs related to the premises we are leasing.


Of the 15,000 square feet currently leased, we are occupying approximately 9,800 square feet. We are subleasing approximately 2,000 square feet on a month to month basis back to this significant shareholder, Howard Baer at a rate of approximately $2,100 per month. This sublease has not yet been formalized, and is currently on a month to month basis. We incurred $59,232 in rent expense and recognized $6,300 in sublet rent income during the second quarter of 2009.  


Equipment - The Company uses and, in consideration of such use, makes lease and rent payments for, telephone equipment that is leased by an entity owned by the Company’s former CEO. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, equipment rental and lease expense paid to the entity amounted to $1,836. The lease and rental payments equal the debt service on the equipment. The former CEO intends to transfer the equipment to the Company, for no consideration, once the note is paid in full.


Marketing Consultant Agreement – The Company has entered into an agreement with a significant shareholder, Howard Baer and former CEO to provide marketing services whereby the Company shall pay commissions at the rate of $.50 per bottle for every bottle sold under this agreement. In April of 2009, we amended this agreement to grant worldwide distribution and marketing rights to our product. This agreement calls for minimum monthly sales levels and is in effect for two years.


Financing - Periodically during 2009 the Company received loans from Mr. Baer. In addition, the Company owed Mr. Baer for unpaid rent and other expenses paid on behalf of the Company by Mr. Baer. The balance owing Mr. Baer at June 30, 2009 is $8,545 and is reflected in accounts payable.


Accounts Receivable – Included in accounts receivable is $27,000 due from Changing Times Vitamins, Inc., a privately owned corporation whose sole shareholder is a significant shareholder and former CEO of the Company.  


Inventory – Ending inventory at June 30, 2009 includes approximately $27,000 in raw materials and $6,700 in finished product for Changing Times Vitamins, Inc., referred to above.  This inventory was custom manufactured to Changing Times Vitamins, Inc. specifications and differs from our ProAlgaZyme product.


Equity Transaction -


In June of 2009 the Company issued 800,000 shares of common stock, and warrants to purchase 800,000 shares of stock at an exercise price of $.10 per share, to a significant shareholder and former CEO as compensation for such shareholder having transferred property to third parties as inducement to make an equity investment in the Company. The total invested by these third parties totaled $35,000.  The shares were valued at $96,000, and the warrants were valued at approximately $92,000 using the Black Scholes pricing model, with the following assumptions:  volatility 227.05%, annual rate of dividends 0%, discount rate 3.1%.

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


Lease Commitment -- We are subleasing approximately 15,000 square feet of office and production space located in Scottsdale, Arizona from a significant shareholder, Howard Baer.

The annual base rent for the 15,000 square foot facility is approximately $237,000 and is payable in equal monthly installments of approximately $20,000. The annual base rent is subject to increase annually in an amount equal to the greater of 2.5% of the prior year’s base rent and the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index. We paid an additional security deposit of approximately $110,000. The Amended and Restated Sublease is a “net lease”, which means that we are responsible for the real estate taxes, maintenance, insurance and repairs related to the premises we are leasing.


Of the 15,000 square feet currently leased, we are occupying approximately 9,800 square feet. We are subleasing approximately 2,000 square feet on a month to month basis back to this significant shareholder, Howard Baer at a rate of approximately $2,100 per month.

NOTE 10 – LOSS PER SHARE


Loss per common share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per share, as the effect of potentially dilutive securities (convertible debt – 1,900,000 and warrants – 20,245,998 at June 30, 2009 and warrants – 29,258,427 at June 30, 2008) are anti-dilutive.


NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


During the third quarter, certain convertible notes were amended and restated.  Under the terms of the modification the noteholder will be entitled (if and when the notes are converted) to get shares of any future spinoff of our wholly owned subsidiary HEPI Pharmaceuticals, as if he had converted these notes as of the spinoff date.  In addition, the due dates of the notes were extended.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Critical Accounting Policies 

 

The accompanying discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and all available information. However, future events are subject to change, and the best estimates and judgments routinely require adjustment. US GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments in several areas, including those related to recording various accruals, income taxes, the useful lives of long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets, and potential losses from contingencies and litigation. We believe the policies discussed below are the most critical to our financial statements because they are affected significantly by management's judgments, assumptions and estimates. 


Income taxes 

 

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method described in SFAS No. 109, "Accounting For Income Taxes," the objective of which is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. 


We have provided a 100% valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, because the ultimate realization of those assets are uncertain.  Utilization of net operating loss carry-forwards are subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the “change in ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.  The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating loss carry-forwards before utilization.


Stock Based Compensation


The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), which revised SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25).  SFAS 123R requires that new, modified and unvested share-based payment transactions with employees, such as stock options and restricted stock, be recognized in the financial statements based on their estimated fair value and recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period.  The Company adopted SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006.

 

Results of Operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

Net Sales.  Net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 were $27,115 and $50,245 as compared to $59,602 and $95,153 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.  These sales reflect principally revenues from the ProAlgaZyme® product.  We currently market our product over the Internet and by telephone.


Throughout 2008 and 2009 we have been adversely impacted by a shortage of funds which has severely impeded our ability to market and test our ProAlgaZyme® product, contributing to a low level of net sales.  Although the ProAlgaZyme® product is available for sale and we are exploring various potential marketing opportunities, we are currently advertising on a limited basis and expect only limited sales revenue until at least the second half of 2009.  We believe that our ability to generate sales of the ProAlgaZyme® product will depend upon, among other things, further characterization of the product, identification of its method of action and further evidence of its efficacy, as well as advertising.  The testing necessary to further characterize the product, identify its method of action and establish its effectiveness is ongoing.




15



Cost of Sales.  Cost of Sales was $6,997 and $23,319 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $47,091 and $77,591 for the comparable period in 2008.  Cost of Sales represents primarily costs related to raw materials, labor and the laboratory and controlled production environment necessary for the growing of the algae cultures that constitute the source of the biological activity of the ProAlgaZyme product, and for conducting the necessary harvesting and production operations in preparing the product for sale.  The overall decrease in cost of sales for 2009 is a direct result of our decreased sales volume.


Gross Profit.  Gross Profit was $20,118 and $26,926 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $12,511 and $17,562 for the comparable period in 2008.  The increased gross profit for 2009 is due to the improvements we have made in our production efficiency.  


Research and Development Expenses.   For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, we incurred $41,036 and $149,126 on research and development expenses, as compared to $36,009 and $52,497  for the comparable period in 2008.  These expenses are comprised of costs associated with internal and external research.  The increase in our research and development is due to the costs associates with our research currently ongoing with Wayne State University.   This research was initiated to determine our products efficacy on the management of cholesterol levels and inflammation.  While we have received the results of our cholesterol testing, as discussed above, we are awaiting the results of the studies on inflammation.  We expect those results in the next few weeks.


We have in the past had difficulty raising substantial funds from external sources; however, we recently raised a limited amount of capital.  We may not be able to raise the funding that we need to undertake further research and development activities.  In the event that we are not able to secure sufficient funding to meet our research needs, we will be unable to pursue additional research activities.


Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses were $58,864 and $167,794 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $62,224 and $128,184 for the comparable period in 2008.  The increase in 2009 was due to costs associated with outside marketing consultants to increase our national exposure and the rebranding of our product.  In addition, we have contracted with several international marketing firms in anticipation of the completion of our current research.  We intend to continue to direct our in house selling efforts to existing ProAlgaZyme® users during 2009.  The consultants will provide us with exposure to natural food brokers and in the media through the use of radio and television segments.


We are currently pursuing outside distributors for our product, to begin a nationwide campaign to raise awareness of our product.  However, we intend to continue to direct selling efforts to existing ProAlgaZyme® users, by soliciting reorders from existing customers by telephone or mail in our inbound/outbound call center.  In addition, we are continuing our efforts in the retail market arena, and exploring the establishment of additional distribution channels for ProAlgaZyme®.  The limit on our ability thus far to advertise our product (due to the need for additional testing) has had and, until we are able to advertise our product based upon the results of clinical trials further demonstrating its efficacy, will continue to have, a material adverse effect on sales revenue and operating results.  


General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expense was $234,160 and $552,916 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $371,896 and $572,973 for the comparable period in 2008.  The overall decrease in general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 is approximately $20,000.  This decrease is due primarily to a decrease in our legal and accounting fees.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report have been prepared on a “going concern” basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  We have an immediate and urgent need for additional capital.  For the reasons discussed herein, there is a significant risk that we will be unable to continue as a going concern, in which case, you would suffer a total loss of your investment in our company.



16



We have had limited revenue ($50,245 for the six months ended June 30, 2009) and have incurred significant net losses since inception, including a net loss of $1,014,512 during the six months ended June 30, 2009.  We expect only limited sales revenue until at least the second half of 2009.  Further, we have incurred recurring negative cash flow from operations.  During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we incurred negative cash flows from operations of $228,671.  As of August 8, 2009, we had a cash balance of approximately $25,000.  We had a working capital deficiency of $506,787 and a stockholders’ deficit of $620,171 as of June 30, 2009.  Although we recently raised a limited amount of capital, we have in the past had difficulty in raising capital from external sources.  These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  


During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, our operating activities used $228,671 and $772,339 in cash, respectively.  Our financing activities generated $254,337 and $857,670 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008  respectively.  


We estimate that we will require approximately $1,250,000 in cash over the next 12 months in order to fund our operations.  If we were to initiate the additional clinical research for our subsidiary, we would require an additional $3,000,000.  Based on this cash requirement, we have an immediate need for additional funding.  For the foreseeable future, we do not expect that sales revenues will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements.  Historically, we have had difficulty raising funds from external sources; however, we recently were able to raise a limited amount of capital from outside sources. If we are not able to raise additional funds in the immediate future we may be unable to continue as a going concern, in which case you will suffer a total loss of your investment in our company.


In addition, we have only limited product liability insurance.  If a product claim were successfully made against us, there could be a material adverse effect on our financial condition given our liquidity and cash limitations.


Significant elements of income or loss not arising from our continuing operations


We do not expect to experience any significant elements of income or loss other than those arising from our continuing operation.


Seasonality


Our product is directed to the improvement of the health of our consumers, and we do not expect that operating results will be affected materially by seasonal factors.  In addition, ProAlgaZyme® is cultivated in a climate-controlled laboratory environment, not subject to seasonal growing effects or influences.


Staffing


We have conducted all of our activities since inception with a minimum level of qualified staff.  We currently do not expect a significant increase in staff.  


Off-Balance Sheet arrangements


We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that would create contingent or other forms of liability.


Item 4. Controls and Procedures


(a)

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  The Company’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure, controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the “Evaluation Date”).  Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure, controls and procedures were effective.


(b)

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.  There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION


Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds


During the quarter ended June 30, 2009 the Company issued 931,048 shares of its common stock, valued at $93,105 to employees for salaries.  The Company issued 2,944,400 shares of stock and received $147,220 in proceeds.  The Company issued 500,000 shares, valued at $45,000, to a marketing consultant for services.  The Company issued 500,000 shares of stock, valued at $55,000, in payment of accounts payable and current services.  These shares were valued at the closing price of the stock on the day of authorization.


In June of 2009 the Company issued 800,000 shares of common stock, and warrants to purchase 800,000 shares of stock at an exercise price of $.10 per share, to a significant shareholder and former CEO as compensation for such shareholder having transferred property to third parties as inducement to make an equity investment in the Company.  The total invested by these third parties totaled $35,000.  The shares were valued at $96,000, and the warrants were valued at approximately $92,000 using the Black Scholes pricing model, with the following assumptions:  volatility 227.05%, anual rate of dividends 0%, discount rate 3.1%.


We believe that the foregoing transactions were exempt from the registration requirements under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), based on the following facts: there was no general solicitation, there was a limited number of investors, each of whom was an “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Regulation D under the “1933 Act”, as amended) and/or was (either alone or with his/her purchaser representative) sophisticated about business and financial matters, each such investor had the opportunity to ask questions of our management and to review our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and all shares issued were subject to restrictions on transfer, so as to take reasonable steps to assure that the purchasers were not underwriters within the meaning of Section 2(11) under the 1933 Act.
