The following summary highlights selected information contained in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in the securities. Before making an investment decision, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section, the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements. As used throughout this prospectus, the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Celsius Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and/or our wholly owned subsidiaries, Celsius Inc. and Celsius Netshipments, Inc., as the case may be.

Business
 
Celsius Holdings, Inc (the “Company”) is in the business of producing, distributing and marketing functional beverages. We are a Nevada corporation.  We operate in the United States through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Celsius Inc. and Celsius Netshipments, Inc.  Celsius, Inc. acquired the operating business of Elite FX, Inc. (“Elite”) through a reverse merger on January 26, 2007 (the “Merger Agreement”).  Celsius, Inc. is in the business of developing and marketing functional beverages in the functional beverage category of the beverage industry.  Celsius® was Elite’s first commercially available product. Celsius is a calorie burning beverage. Celsius is currently available in five sparkling flavors: cola, ginger ale, lemon/lime, orange and wild berry and two green teas with the flavor of peach/mango and raspberry/acai. We have also developed Celsius in powder form and sell the active ingredients in an On-the-go packet. Celsius Netshipments, Inc., incorporated in Florida on March 29, 2007, is in the business of selling Celsius, Inc.’s products via the internet.
 
We have suffered losses from operations, have a stockholders’ deficit, and have a negative working capital. Our auditors have raised substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern. The Company entered into separate financing agreements with CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“CDS”) on December 12, 2008 and September 8, 2009, to provide additional funds needed for working capital and marketing expenses.

The Offering

CDS, a Selling Stockholder under this Prospectus, is offering for sale up to 96,000,000 shares of our Common Stock hereto.  On December 12, 2008, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with CDS.  Under the Purchase Agreement, CDS purchased 2,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Preferred B Shares”), evidenced by a certificate of designation filed with the Nevada Secretary of State (the “Certificate of Designation”) and the right to purchase up to an additional 2,000 shares of Preferred B Shares (the “Additional Shares”), for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000 (two million dollars).  CDS exercised its right to purchase the Additional Shares and purchased 1,000 Preferred B Shares on April 7, 2009 and 1,000 Preferred B Shares on May 1, 2009, each for $1,000,000 (one million dollars). The aggregate purchase of 4,000 Preferred B shares had an aggregate purchase price of $4,000,000 (four million dollars) (“the Purchase Price”).  CDS has the right to convert the Preferred B Shares to Common Stock at any time. The conversion price is $0.05 (five cents) per share of common stock from the date on which the Certificate of Designation is effective with the Nevada Secretary of State until December 31, 2010.  Thereafter, the conversion price shall be the greater of (i) 90% of the Market Price on the conversion date and (ii) $0.05 (five cents) as appropriately adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends and similar events. Market price means the average of the ten daily volume weighted average prices for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the applicable date of determination.
 
CDS is also offering for sale up to 65,000,000 shares of our Common Stock hereto.  On September 8, 2009, we entered into a convertible loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with CDS.  Under the Loan Agreement CDS will lend the Company up to $6,500,000 (six million five hundred thousand dollars), with disbursements to the Company limited as follows: (i) Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) during the month of September 2009; (ii) Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) during October 2009; Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) during November 2009; and (iii) Five Hundred Thousand ($500,000) in December 2009. Provided, however, that no disbursement shall be made in an amount less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). Any amounts not requested for disbursement in one calendar month can be carried over to a subsequent month and disbursed in addition to the maximum of such subsequent month.  The loan is due on September 8, 2012 and carries a variable interest rate equal to three hundred (300) basis points over the one (1) month LIBOR. The loan can at any time be converted to shares of our Common Stock at the Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” shall be: (A) from September 8, 2009 through and including December 31, 2011, equal to the lesser of (i) $0.40 per share, or (ii) the Market Price; or (B) after December 31, 2011 the greater of  (i) $0.40 per share, or (ii) the Market Price, as appropriately adjusted for in either case stock splits, stock dividends and similar events; provided that, the conversion price shall never be less than $0.10 (ten cents) regardless of the Market Price on the conversion date.

An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this Prospectus before investing in our Common Stock. As a result of the risk factors set forth below, actual results could differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements.

We have a limited operating history with significant losses and expect losses to continue for the foreseeable future.
 
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 26, 2005 under the name “Vector Ventures Corp.” The Company changed its name to “Celsius Holdings, Inc.” on December 26, 2006. We are a holding company and carry on no operating business except through our direct wholly-owned subsidiaries, Celsius, Inc. and Celsius Netshipments, Inc. Celsius, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on January 18, 2007, and merged with Elite on January 26, 2007, which was incorporated in Florida on April 22, 2004. Celsius Netshipments, Inc. was incorporated in Florida on March 29, 2007.
 
It is difficult to evaluate our business future and prospects as we are a young company with a limited operating history. At this stage of our business operations, even with our good faith efforts, potential investors have a high probability of losing their investment. Our future operating results will depend on many factors, including the ability to generate sustained and increased demand and acceptance of our products, the level of our competition, and our ability to attract and maintain key management and employees.
 
We have yet to establish any history of profitable operations. We have continuously incurred operating losses from our inception. We have incurred an operating loss during the first six months ending June 30, 2009 of $2.6 million. As a result, at June 30, 2009 we had an accumulated deficit of $14.0 million. Our revenues have not been sufficient to sustain our operations. We expect that our revenues will not be sufficient to sustain our operations for the foreseeable future. Our profitability will require the successful commercialization of our current product Celsius® and any future products we develop. No assurances can be given when this will occur or that we will ever be profitable.

Table of Contents
 
We will require additional financing to sustain our operations and without it we may not be able to continue operations.
 
At June 30, 2009, we had a working capital deficit of $187,000. The independent auditor’s report for the year ended December 31, 2008, includes an explanatory paragraph to their audit opinion stating that our recurring losses from operations and working capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern We have an operating cash flow deficit of $2.9 million for the six-month period ending June 30, 2009 and an operating cash flow deficit of $4.8 million and $2.6 million, for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We do not currently have sufficient financial resources to fund our operations or those of our subsidiaries. Therefore, we need additional funds to continue these operations.
 
The sale of our Common Stock to Golden Gate Investors, LLC, CD Financial, LLC, CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC and Lucille Santini may cause dilution and the sale of the shares of Common Stock acquired by Golden Gate Investors, LLC, CD Financial, LLC, CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC or Lucille Santini could cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.
 
In connection with issuing a convertible debenture to Golden Gate Investors, LLC (“GGI”), we have issued 18.0 million shares to GGI between June 16, 2008 and May 21, 2009, as partial conversion of the debenture. If requested by GGI, we may have to issue approximately one million shares to GGI based on the current conversion price and outstanding amount of the debenture. We are not obligated to convert the debenture, if the price of our shares is below $0.20.
 
On June 10, 2008, the total amount of $750,000 in notes payable to CD Financial, LLC (“CDF”) was converted to 11,184,016 shares of Common Stock.
 
We have sold a total of 6,000 Preferred A and B shares to CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC (“CDS”), and they have received a total of 92 shares in dividends. CDS can convert its Preferred A and B shares into a maximum of 106 million shares of Common Stock. CDS has the right to purchase an additional 1,000 Series A Preferred Shares, which may be converted into a maximum of 12.5 million shares of Common Stock.
 
On September 8, 2009, we entered into a convertible loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with CDS.  In connection with such Loan Agreement, CDS can convert the note in to a maximum of 65,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
 
On September 8, 2009, we entered into we entered into a convertible loan agreement (the “Refinance Agreement 2”) with Lucille Santini.  In connection with such Refinance Agreement, Ms. Santini can convert the note into a maximum of 6,150,000 shares of Common Stock.
 
We have not achieved profitability on an annual basis and expect to continue to incur net losses in future quarters, which could force us to discontinue operations.
 
We recorded net losses every quarter of operation since the Company’s inception. We had an accumulated deficit of $14.0 million as of June 30, 2009. We could incur net losses for the foreseeable future as we expand our business. We will need to generate additional revenue from the sales of our products or take steps to reduce operating costs to achieve and maintain profitability. Even if we are able to increase revenue, we may experience price competition that will lower our gross margins and our profitability. If we do achieve profitability, we cannot be certain that we can sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis and we could be forced to discontinue our operations.
 
We depend upon our trademarks and proprietary rights, and any failure to protect our intellectual property rights or any claims that we are infringing upon the rights of others may adversely affect our competitive position.
 
 Our success depends, in large part, on our ability to protect our current and future brands and products and to defend our intellectual property rights. We cannot be sure that trademarks will be issued with respect to any future trademark applications or that our competitors will not challenge, invalidate or circumvent any existing or future trademarks issued to, or licensed by, us. We believe that our competitors, many of whom are more established, and have greater financial and personnel resources than we do, may be able to replicate our processes, brands, flavors, or unique market segment products in a manner that could circumvent our protective safeguards. Therefore, we cannot give you any assurance that our confidential business information will remain proprietary.
 
We rely in part on wholesale distributors and in part on direct delivery to retailers for the success of our business, the loss or poor performance of which may materially and adversely affect our business.
 
We sell our products in part to wholesalers for resale to retail outlets, and also directly to retail outlets.  Retail outlets, also referred to as retailers; include grocery stores, convenience stores, nutritional and drug stores. The replacement or poor performance of the Company's major customers and or the Company's inability to collect accounts receivable from the Company's major customers could materially and adversely affect the Company's results of operations and financial condition. Distribution channels for beverage products have been characterized in recent years by rapid change, including consolidations of certain wholesalers. In addition, wholesalers and retailers of the Company's products offer products which compete directly with the Company's products for retail shelf space and consumer purchases. Accordingly, there is a risk that these wholesalers or retailers may give higher priority to products of the Company's competitors. In the future, the Company's wholesalers and retailers may not continue to purchase the Company's products or provide the Company's products with adequate levels of promotional support.

Table of Contents
 
We may incur material losses as a result of product recall and product liability.
 
 We may be liable if the consumption of any of our products causes injury, illness or death. We also may be required to recall some of our products if they become contaminated or are damaged or mislabeled. A significant product liability judgment against us, or a widespread product recall, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The government may adopt regulations that could increase our costs or our liabilities. The amount of the insurance we carry is limited, and that insurance is subject to certain exclusions and may or may not be adequate.
 
We may not be able to develop successful new products, which could impede our growth and cause us to sustain future losses.
 
Part of our strategy is to increase our sales through the development of new products. We cannot assure you that we will be able to develop, market, and distribute future products that will enjoy market acceptance. The failure to develop new products that gain market acceptance could have an adverse impact on our growth and materially adversely affect our financial condition.
 
Our lack of product diversification and inability to timely introduce new or alternative products could cause us to cease operations.
 
Our business is centered on healthier functional beverages. The risks associated with focusing on a limited product line are substantial. If consumers do not accept our products or if there is a general decline in market demand for, or any significant decrease in, the consumption of nutritional beverages, we are not financially or operationally capable of introducing alternative products within a short time frame. As a result, such lack of acceptance or market demand decline could cause us to cease operations.
 
Our directors and executive officers beneficially own a substantial amount of our Common Stock, and therefore other stockholders will not be able to direct our Company.
 
The majority of our shares and the voting control of the Company is held by a relatively small group of stockholders, who are also our directors and executive officers. Accordingly, these persons, as a group, will be able to exert significant influence over the direction of our affairs and business, including any determination with respect to our acquisition or disposition of assets, future issuances of Common Stock or other securities, and the election or removal of directors. Such a concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the Company or cause the market price of our stock to decline. Notwithstanding the exercise of the fiduciary duties of these directors and executive officers and any duties that such other stockholder may have to us or our other stockholders in general, these persons may have interests different than yours.
 
We are dependent on our key executives, the loss of which may have a material adverse effect on our Company.
 
Our future success will depend substantially upon the abilities of, and personal relationships developed by, Stephen C. Haley, our Chief Executive Officer, President, Chairman of the Board and majority stockholder, Jan Norelid our Chief Financial Officer, and Mrs. Irina Lorenzi, our Innovations VP. The loss of Messrs. Haley, Norelid or Mrs. Lorenzi’s services could materially adversely affect our business and our prospects for the future. We do not have key person insurance on the lives of such individuals. Our future success also depends on our continuing ability to attract and retain highly qualified technical and managerial personnel. Competition for such personnel in the functional beverage industry is intense and we may not be able to retain our key managerial and technical employees or that it will be able to attract and retain additional highly qualified technical and managerial personnel in the future. The inability to attract and retain the necessary technical and managerial personnel could have a material and adverse affect upon our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
Our Common Stock is deemed a low-priced "Penny" stock, therefore an investment in our Common Stock should be considered high risk and subject to marketability restrictions.
 
Since our Common Stock is a penny stock, as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange Act, it will be more difficult for investors to liquidate their investment. Until the trading price of the Common Stock rises above $5.00 per share, if ever, trading in our Common Stock is subject to the penny stock rules of the Exchange Act specified in rules 15g-1 through 15g-10. Those rules require broker-dealers, before effecting transactions in any penny stock, to:
 
·  
Deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document;
·  
Disclose certain price information about the stock;

Table of Contents
 
 
·  
Disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker-dealer;
·  
Send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and,
·  
In some circumstances, approve the purchaser's account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules.
 
Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell our Common Stock and may affect the ability of holders to sell their Common Stock in the secondary market and the price at which such holders can sell any such securities. These additional procedures could also limit our ability to raise additional capital in the future.
 
The foregoing list is not exhaustive. There can be no assurance that we have correctly identified and appropriately assessed all factors affecting our business or that the publicly available and other information with respect to these matters is complete and correct. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial also may adversely impact us. Should any risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For these reasons, the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.
 

 
This Prospectus relates to shares of our Common Stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the Selling Stockholders.  In connection with the sale of Preferred B Shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreement with CDS, we received cash payments totaling $4,000,000.  All proceeds from CDS we received for sale of the Preferred B shares have been used for working capital and marketing expense.   As of the date of this Prospectus, we have we have borrowed $2,000,000 under the Loan Agreement and will be able to borrow additional $4,500,000 under the same Loan Agreement.  Proceeds from our borrowings under the Loan Agreement will be used for working capital and marketing expenses. The proceeds from the Refinance Agreement with Ms. Santini were received in 2004 and 2005.  We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock being offered by the Selling Shareholders under this prospectus.
 
 
 
Each Selling Stockholder will determine at what price they may sell the offered shares, and such sales may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices.
 
General

On December 12, 2008, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with CDS. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement we issued 2,000 Preferred B Shares, as well as a warrant to purchase additional 2,000 Preferred B Shares, for a cash payment of $2.0 million. The Preferred B Shares can be converted into Common Stock at any time. Until December 31, 2010, the conversion price is $0.05, after which the conversion price is the greater of $0.05 or 90% of the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the prior 10 trading days. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we entered into a registration rights agreement under which we agreed to file a registration statement for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred B Shares. The Preferred B Shares accrue a ten percent annual cumulative dividend, payable in additional Preferred B Shares. We issued 11 Preferred B Shares in dividends during the first quarter of 2009. The Preferred B Shares mature on December 31, 2013 and are only redeemable in shares of our Common Stock. The full agreement can be reviewed in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 17, 2008.
 
On March 31, 2009, CDS exercised its right to purchase additional 2,000 Preferred B Shares and executed a subscription agreement for $2.0 million. The monies for the subscription were paid on April 7 and May 1, 2009.
 
Certain covenants of the Preferred B Shares restrict the Company from entering into additional debt arrangements or permitting liens to be filed against the Company’s assets, without approval from the holder of the Preferred B Shares. There is a mandatory redemption in cash, if the Company breaches certain covenants of the agreements. The holders have liquidation preference in case of the Company’s liquidation. The Company can at any time on or after January 1, 2011, redeem the Preferred B Shares, by paying in cash 104% of the aggregate liquidation preference. The early redemption can only take place after a sixty day notice period, during which period CDS can convert the Preferred Stock for Common Stock using the then applicable conversion price.
 
The Company has the intention to fulfill the transaction as it has sufficient shares available to issue all the necessary shares for this transaction.

General

On September 8, 2009, we entered into a convertible loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with CDS.  Under the Loan Agreement CDS will lend the Company up to $6,500,000 (six million five hundred thousand dollars), with disbursements to the Company limited as follows: (i) Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) during the month of September 2009; (ii) Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) during October 2009; Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) during November 2009; and (iii) Five Hundred Thousand ($500,000) in December 2009. Provided, however, that no disbursement shall be made in an amount less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). Any amounts not requested for disbursement in one calendar month can be carried over to a subsequent month and disbursed in addition to the maximum of such subsequent month.  The loan is due on September 8, 2012 and carries a variable interest rate equal to three hundred (300) basis points over the one (1) month LIBOR (the “Note Rate”). Commencing on September 8, 2010 and continuing each three (3)-month period hereafter, we will make payments of all accrued but unpaid interest only on the unpaid principal amount at the Note Rate. The loan can at any time be converted to shares of our Common Stock at the Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” shall be: (A) from September 8, 2009 through and including December 31, 2011, equal to the lesser of (i) $0.40 per share, or (ii) the Market Price; or (B) after December 31, 2011 the greater of  (i) $0.40 per share, or (ii) the Market Price, as appropriately adjusted for in either case stock splits, stock dividends and similar events; provided that, the conversion price shall never be less than $0.10 (ten cents) regardless of the Market Price on the conversion date. Maximum number of shares to be issued based on the lowest Conversion Price possible is 65,000,000 Common Stock.

Effect of Performance of the Purchase Agreement and Loan Agreement on Our Stockholders

The maximum number of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and Loan Agreement to CDS is 141,500,000. This number of Common Stock is being registered in this offering and is expected to be freely tradable.  The sale by CDS of a significant amount of shares registered in this offering at any given time could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline and to be highly volatile.

Registration Rights Agreements

In connection with the Purchase Agreement and the Loan Agreement, we entered into separate registration rights agreements with CDS pursuant to which we were obligated to file a registration statement with the SEC covering 120% of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Purchase Agreement and the maximum amount of shares of Common stock issuable under the Loan Agreement, 65,000,000. In addition, we are obligated to use our best efforts to have the registration statement or amendment declared effective by the SEC at the earliest possible date and reasonable best efforts to keep the registration statement effective until the all such shares held by CDS are freely saleable pursuant to Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The registrations rights agreement executed in connection to the Purchase Agreement was amended on October 1, 2009 to change the required filing date to the same filing date set forth in the registration rights agreement executed in connection with the Loan Agreement.

On September 8, 2009, we entered into a convertible loan agreement (the “Refinance Agreement”) with Lucille Santini.  We received advances from Santini at various instances during 2004 and 2005, $76,000 and $424,000, respectively. The advances carried interest at a rate variable with the prime rate.  In July, 2008, the debt was refinanced, with interest at prime rate flat and monthly amortization of $5,000. A balloon payment of approximately $606,000 was due in January 2010. In July, 2009, the debt was refinanced again, with interest at prime rate flat and monthly amortization of $11,500. A balloon payment of approximately $451,600 was due in January 2011. This note together with a cash payment of $3,699 was exchanged for a new note due on September 8, 2012. This note carries a variable interest rate equal to three hundred (300) basis points over the one (1) month LIBOR (the “Note Rate”). Commencing on September 8, 2010 and continuing each three (3)-month period hereafter, we will make payments of all accrued but unpaid interest only on the unpaid principal amount at the Note Rate. The loan can at any time be converted to shares of our Common Stock at the Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” shall be: (A) from September 8, 2009 through and including December 31, 2011, equal to the lesser of (i) $0.40 per share, or (ii) the Market Price; or (B) after December 31, 2011 the greater of  (i) $0.40 per share, or (ii) the Market Price, as appropriately adjusted for in either case stock splits, stock dividends and similar events; provided that, the conversion price shall never be less than $0.10 (ten cents) regardless of the Market Price on the conversion date. Maximum number of shares to be issued based on the lowest Conversion Price possible is 6,150,000 Common Stock.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we entered into a registration rights agreement under which we agreed to file a registration statement for the common stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred B Shares. The Preferred B Shares accrue a ten percent annual cumulative dividend, payable in additional Preferred B Shares. We issued 11 Preferred B Shares in dividends during the first quarter of 2009. The Preferred B Shares mature on December 31, 2013 and are only redeemable in shares of our Common Stock.

Commencing on September 8, 2010 and continuing each three (3)-month period hereafter, we will make payments of all accrued but unpaid interest only on the unpaid principal amount at the Note Rate. The loan can at any time be converted to shares of our Common Stock at the Conversion Price. The “Conversion Price” shall be: (A) from September 8, 2009 through and including December 31, 2011, equal to the lesser of (i) $0.40 per share, or (ii) the Market Price; or (B) after December 31, 2011 the greater of  (i) $0.40 per share, or (ii) the Market Price, as appropriately adjusted for in either case stock splits, stock dividends and similar events; provided that, the conversion price shall never be less than $0.10 (ten cents) regardless of the Market Price on the conversion date.

Celsius Holdings, Inc. operates in United States through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Celsius Inc., which acquired the operating business of Elite FX, Inc. (“Elite”) through a reverse merger on January 26, 2007, and Celsius Netshipments, Inc. Celsius, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on January 18, 2007, and merged with Elite FX, Inc. (“Elite”) on January 26, 2007 (the “Merger”), which was incorporated in Florida on April 22, 2004. Celsius, Inc. is in the business of developing and marketing healthier beverages in the functional beverage category of the beverage industry.

On January 24, 2007, the Company entered into a merger agreement and plan of reorganization with Celsius, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Sub”), Elite FX, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Elite”), and Steve Haley, the “Indemnifying Officer” and “Securityholder Agent” of Elite, (the “Merger Agreement”).

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company issued 70,912,246 shares of its common stock to the stockholders of Elite, including 1,337,246 shares of common stock issued as compensation, as full consideration for the shares of Elite;
 
·  
warrants to Investa Capital Partners Inc. to purchase 3,557,812 shares of common stock of the Company for $500,000, the warrants were exercised in February 2007;

1,300,000 shares of its common stock concurrent with the Merger in a private placement to non-US resident investors for aggregate consideration of US$650,000 which included the conversion of a $250,000 loan to the Company.

Celsius Holdings, Inc’s majority stockholder, Mr. Kristian Kostovski, cancelled 7,200,000 shares of common stock of the Company held by him shortly after the close of the Merger Agreement.
 
As a result of the Merger Agreement, Mr. Kostovski resigned as chief executive officer, chief financial officer, president, secretary, and treasurer of the Company and appointed Mr. Stephen C. Haley as Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chairman of the Board and Mr. Jan Norelid, Mr. Richard McGee and Ms. Janice Haley was appointed Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and Vice President of Marketing of the Company, respectively, effective as of the closing of the Merger, January 26, 2007.
 
Mr. Kostovski also resigned as a director of the Company and appointed Messrs. Stephen C. Haley, Jan Norelid, James Cast, and Greg Horn as the new directors of the Company.
 
For financial accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as a recapitalization of Celsius Holdings, Inc with the former stockholders of Celsius Holdings, Inc retaining approximately 24.6% of the outstanding stock. This transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition and accordingly the transaction has been treated as a recapitalization of Elite, with Elite as the accounting acquirer. The historical financial statements are a continuation of the financial statements of the accounting acquirer, and any difference of the capital structure of the merged entity as compared to the accounting acquirer’s historical capital structure is due to the recapitalization of the acquired entity.
 
After the merger with Elite FX the Company changed its business to become a manufacturer of beverages. The calorie burning beverage Celsius® is the first brand of the Company.
 
On February 9, 2007 Investa Capital Corp. exercised its warrants to purchase 3,557,812 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate consideration of $500,000 in cash.

Historical Information
 
The Company was formed as an exploration stage company, meaning we were formed to engage in the search for mineral deposits (reserves) which are not in either the development or production stage.  We issued 2,000,000 units (8,000,000 post split units) to thirty-five (35) unrelated Stockholders for cash valued at $0.05 per unit pursuant to our SB-2 offering which closed on March 30, 2006. Each unit consisted of four shares and eight (8) share purchase warrants after taking into account the forward split of the Company completed on December 26, 2006. Each share purchase warrant is valid for a period of two years from the date of the Prospectus, expiring on January 20, 2008 and is exercisable at a price of $0.025 per share taking into account the forward split.  All warrants issued have since been exercised as of January 26, 2007.
 
Once we obtained funding under our March 30, 2006 SB-2 offering we began Phase I exploration on our one property in the Company's portfolio, the One Gun Project, consisting of 9 unit mineral claims having a total surface area of approximately 473 acres. On October 23, 2006 we received the results of the initial campaign and though these were generally poor, the Dollar Ext Zone was located and good geological information was gained.
 
Given there was a strong  possibility that the One Gun Project claims do not contain any reserves we began to look at other potential mineral properties to explore or other possible business opportunities.  The Company began seriously looking at other opportunities in the fall of 2006 which resulted in us arranging capital through a loan to make a bridge loan to Elite in November 2006.
 
On January 24, 2006, we entered into the Merger Agreement and plan of reorganization with Celsius, Inc, Elite and Stephen C. Haley, the “Indemnifying Officer” and “Securityholder Agent” of Elite pursuant to which Elite was merged into Celsius, Inc. and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company on January 26, 2007.
 
As of closing the Merger Agreement, we have changed our business to the business of Elite and have ceased to be an exploration stage company.
 
Current Business of our Company
 
We operate in the United States through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Celsius Inc., which acquired the operating business of Elite FX, Inc. (“Elite”) through a reverse merger on January 26, 2007, and Celsius Netshipments, Inc. Celsius, Inc. is in the business of developing and marketing healthier functional beverages in the functional beverage category of the beverage industry. Celsius was Elite’s first commercially available product. Celsius is a calorie burning beverage. Celsius is currently available in five sparkling flavors: cola, ginger ale, lemon/lime, orange and wild berry, and in two non-carbonated green teas with flavors of peach/mango and raspberry/acai. Celsius is also available in powder form in On-The-Go packets. Celsius Netshipments, Inc., incorporated in Florida on March 29, 2007, distributes the Celsius beverage via the internet. Our focus is on increasing sales of our existing products.
 
A major objective for the Celsius brand is to create a new beverage category, calorie burners, we utilize a multi-channel route-to-market strategy. This includes distributing through direct-store-delivery distributors and wholesalers to some channels of trade (convenience, grocery, health clubs, etc) as well as shipping direct-to-retailer for others (drug, mass, etc.).

Industry Overview
 
The functional beverage market includes a wide variety of beverages with one or more added ingredients to satisfy a physical or functional need, which often carries a unique and sophisticated imagery and a premium price tag. The five fastest-growing segments of the functional beverage market include: herb-enhanced fruit drinks, ready-to-drink (RTD) teas, sports drinks, energy drinks, and single-serve (SS) fresh juice.
 
Our Products
 
In 2005, Elite introduced Celsius to the beverage marketplace and it is our first product. Multiple clinical studies have shown that a single 12 ounce serving raises metabolism over a 3 to 4 hour period. Quantitatively, the energy expenditure was on average over 100 calories from a single serving.
 
It is our belief that clinical studies proving product claims will become more important as more and more beverages are marketed with functional claims. Celsius was one of the first beverages to be launched along with a clinical study. Celsius is also one of very few that has clinical research on the actual product. Some beverage companies that do mention studies backing their claims are actually referencing independent studies conducted on one or more of the ingredients in the product. We believe that it is important and will become more important to have studies on the actual product.

Two different research organizations have statistically proven the Celsius calorie burning capability in four clinical studies. This product line, which is referred to as our “core brand”, competes in the “functional beverage” segment of the beverage marketplace with distinctive flavors and packaging. This segment includes herb-enhanced fruit drinks, ready-to-drink (RTD) teas, sports drinks, energy drinks, and single-serve (SS) fresh juice. By raising metabolism for the extended period of three to four hours, Celsius provides a negative calorie effect (burn more than you consume) as well as energy.
 
We currently offer Celsius in five sparkling flavors: cola, ginger ale, lemon/lime, orange and wild berry, and in two non-carbonated green teas flavors: peach/mango and raspberry/acai. We have developed and own the formula for this product including the flavoring. The formulation and flavors for these products are produced under contract by concentrate suppliers. We have also started to market a Celsius On-the-go packet, that contains the active ingredients of the Celsius beverage and it is mixed with water to make a beverage.
 
Celsius is currently packaged in distinctive twelve ounce sleek cans that are in vivid colors in abstract patterns to create a strong on-shelf impact. The cans are sold in single units or in packages of four. The graphics and clinically tested product are important elements to Celsius and help justify the premium pricing of $1.79 to $2.19 per can.
 
Clinical Studies
 
We have funded four U.S. based clinical studies for Celsius. Each conducted by research organizations and each studied the total Celsius formula. The first study was conducted by the Ohio Research Group of Exercise Science and Sports Nutrition. The second, third and fourth studies were conducted by the Applied Biochemistry & Molecular Physiology Laboratory of the University of Oklahoma. We entered into a contract with the University of Oklahoma to pay for part of the cost of the clinical study. In addition, we provided Celsius beverage for the studies and paid for the placebo beverage used in the studies. None of our officers or directors are in any way affiliated with either of the two research organizations.
 
The first study was conducted by the Ohio Research Group of Exercise Science and Sports Nutrition. The Ohio Research Group of Exercise Science & Sports Nutrition is a multidisciplinary clinical research team dedicated to exploring the relationship between exercise, nutrition, dietary supplements and health, www.ohioresearchgroup.com. This placebo-controlled, double-blind cross-over study compared the effects of Celsius and the placebo on metabolic rate. Twenty-two participants were randomly assigned to ingest a twelve ounce serving of Celsius and on a separate day a serving of twelve ounces of Diet Coke®. All subjects completed both trials using a randomized, counterbalanced design. Randomized means that subjects were selected for each group randomly to ensure that the different treatments were statistically equivalent. Counterbalancing means that individuals in one group drank the placebo on the first day and drank Celsius on the second day. The other group did the opposite. Counterbalancing is a design method that is used to control ‘order effects’. In other words, to make sure the order that subjects were served, does not impact the results and analysis.
 
Metabolic rate (via indirect calorimetry, measurements taken from breaths into and out of calorimeter) and substrate oxidation (via respiratory exchange ratios) were measured at baseline (pre-ingestion) and for 10 minutes at the end of each hour for 3 hours post-ingestion. The results showed an average increase of metabolism of twelve percent over the three hour period, compared to statistically insignificant change for the control group. Metabolic rate, or metabolism, is the rate at which the body expends energy. This is also referred to as the “caloric burn rate”. Indirect calorimetry calculates heat that living organisms produce from their production of carbon dioxide. It is called “indirect” because the caloric burn rate is calculated from a measurement of oxygen uptake. Direct calorimetry would involve the subject being placed inside the calorimeter for the measurement to determine the heat being produced. Respiratory Exchange Ratio is the ratio oxygen taken in a breath compared to the carbon dioxide breathed out in one breath or exchange. Measuring this ratio can be used for estimating which substrate (fuel such as carbohydrate or fat) is being metabolized or ‘oxidized’ to supply the body with energy.
 
The second study was conducted by the Applied Biochemistry & Molecular Physiology Laboratory of University of Oklahoma. This blinded, placebo-controlled study was conducted on a total of sixty men and women of normal weight. An equal number of participants were separated into two groups to compare one serving (12oz) of Celsius to a placebo of the same amount. According to the study, those subjects consuming Celsius burned significantly more calories versus those consuming the placebo, over a three hour period. The study confirmed that over the three hour period, subjects consuming a single serving of Celsius burned sixty-five percent more calories than those consuming the placebo beverage and burned an average of more than one hundred calories compared to placebo. These results were statistically significant.
 
The third study, also conducted by the Applied Biochemistry & Molecular Physiology Laboratory of University of Oklahoma, extended our second study with the same group of sixty individuals and protocol for 28 days and showed the same statistical significance of increased calorie burn (minimal attenuation). While the University of Oklahoma study did extend for 28 days, more testing would be needed for long term analysis of the Celsius calorie burning effects. Also, these studies were on relatively small numbers of subjects, they have statistically significant results. Additional studies on a larger number and wider range of body compositions can be considered to further the analysis.

Our fourth study, also conducted by the Applied Biochemistry & Molecular Physiology Laboratory of University of Oklahoma, combined Celsius with exercise. This 10-week placebo-controlled, randomized and blinded study was conducted on a total of 37 subjects. Participants were randomly assigned into one of two groups: Group 1 consumed one serving of Celsius per day, and Group 2 consumed one serving of an identically flavored and labeled placebo beverage. Both groups participated in 10 weeks of combined aerobic and weight training, following the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines of training for previously sedentary adults. The results showed that consuming a single serving of Celsius prior to exercising may enhance the positive adaptations of exercise on body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness and endurance performance. According to the preliminary findings, subjects consuming a single serving of Celsius lost significantly more fat mass and gained significantly more muscle mass than those subjects consuming the placebo - a 93.75% greater loss in fat and 50% greater gain in muscle mass, respectively. The study also confirmed that subjects consuming Celsius significantly improved measures of cardiorespiratory fitness and the ability to delay the onset of fatigue when exercising to exhaustion.
 
Manufacture and Supply of Our Products
 
Our beverage products are produced by beverage co-packers. A co-packer is a manufacturing plant that provides the service of filling bottles or cans for the brand owner. We believe the benefit of using co-packers is we do not have to invest in the production facility and can focus our resources on brand development, sales and marketing. It also allows us produce in multiple locations strategically placed throughout the country. Currently our products are produced in Memphis, Tennessee, and Cold Spring, Minnesota.  We have two other plants authorized in Indiana and North Carolina. We usually produce about 34,000 cases (24 units per case) of Celsius in a production run. We supply most of the ingredients and all packaging materials. The co-pack facility assembles our products and charges us a fee, by the case. We follow a “fill as needed” manufacturing model to the best of our ability and we have no significant backlog of orders. The shelf life of the Celsius is specified as 16 to19 months.
 
Substantially all of the raw materials used in the preparation, bottling and packaging of our products are purchased by us or by our contract packers in accordance with our specifications. Generally, we obtain the ingredients used in our products from domestic suppliers and each ingredient has several reliable suppliers. The ingredients in the Celsius Beverage include Green Tea (EGCG), Ginger (from the root), Caffeine, B-Vitamins, Vitamin C, Taurine, Guarana, Chromium, Calcium, Glucuronolactone and Sucralose, and Celsius is packaged using a supplements facts panel. We have no major supply contracts with any of our suppliers. As a general policy, we pick ingredients in the development of our products that have multiple suppliers and are common ingredients. This provides a level of protection against a major supply constriction or calamity.
 
Our On-The-Go packets are packed by a facility in Texas specialized in packing shots, packets and sticks. Currently our sales volume of packets is insignificant. As we grow the existing facility is capable to substantially increase the production of our packets. There are many other packing sites in the country. The On-The-Go packet contains the active ingredients of a Celsius beverage, therefore we use the same or similar raw materials in the preparation, most of them purchased by us and shipped to the contract packer.
 
We believe that if we grow, we will be able to keep up with increased production demands. We believe that our current co-packing arrangement has the capacity to handle increased business we may face in the next twelve (12) months. To the extent that any significant increase in business requires us to supplement or substitute our current co-packers, we believe that there are readily available alternatives, so that there would not be a significant delay or interruption in fulfilling orders and delivery of our products. In addition, we do not believe that growth will result in any significant difficulty or delay in obtaining raw materials, ingredients or finished product.
 
Our Primary Markets
 
We target a niche in the soft drink industry known as functional beverages. The soft drink industry generally characterizes beverages as being made with nutritional and mineral additives, with upscale packaging, and often creating and utilizing new and unique flavors and flavor combinations.
 
Celsius is ultimately sold across many retail segments or channels. We group the grocery, convenience, drug, mass and club channel into one group as major channels. We classify health clubs, spas, gyms etc as our Health and Fitness channel. We are expanding our distribution into each channel. We reach these channels through sales to direct-store-delivery (“DSD”) distributors or brokers, who in turn sell to different channels or through direct-to-retailer (“DTR”) sales. We cannot accurately estimate how much is sold in each channel, because the sales information comes through our DSD distributors’ sales information, and each one may or may not utilize the same sales channel classification as we do.

Distribution, Sales and Marketing
 
Our predecessor Elite initiated a grassroots marketing strategy to launch Celsius in 2005.  This marketing strategy leveraged the significant media interest in the results of the clinical trial which confirmed the product’s functional benefit.  Celsius was subsequently unveiled at the International Society for Sports Nutrition (ISSN) annual scientific symposium in June of 2005.  Media interest in the category-creating positioning and clinical proof generated national coverage. Over 200 TV news stations aired over 800 segments highlighting Celsius, as well as articles in a multitude of news papers and magazines and their websites.
 
Once initial distribution was achieved in the southeastern United States, a branding agency was retained to develop a comprehensive integrated marketing communications program for use in regional and national roll-out.  These materials included Point of Sale graphics, billboards, print advertising layouts, coupon graphics, radio scripts and other creative components. Over time the point of sale materials have evolved and changed with input from employees and outside consultants. All of these are not used in every market but provide a good foundation of promotional materials as we do launch in a specific area or with a specific distributor.
 
During 2009, we have increased our marketing efforts through more radio advertising and participation in many more grass roots events. In September 2009, we launched a new marketing campaign consisting of TV, radio, print and outdoor signage advertising. We have yet to see the effects of this new marketing campaign, as it is very early and it is very hard to measure the exact effects of specific advertising.
 
Celsius and the Beverage Supply Chain
 
Consumers buy their beverages in various ways. Most beverages are purchased at retailers which can be segmented by type of store such as grocery, drug, convenience/gas, mass and club. Some health focused beverages can be purchased in gyms, health clubs and spas. Some beverages are purchased from vending machines and some consumers order beverages over the internet to be delivered to their homes or offices.
 
Celsius is a brand that can sell through all of these channels and we are doing so now in the US. We intend to grow our volumes through each channel through various means. We classify the channels into four sub-groups, Major Channel (grocery, drub, convenience, club and mass), Health & Fitness (gyms, health clubs, etc), Vending and Internet Sales. If we grow our distribution network, we believe the largest percentage of sales will come from the major channels.
 
We have started to sell Celsius internationally on a smaller scale and will group those sales in two large groups, export (an importer buys the product and resells it) and license (a bottler will license the rights to produce locally and then they will sell and distribute in their respective countries.) In the immediate future we are focused on the US market.
 
Selling to Retail Stores
 
We are currently marketing to retail stores and chains by utilizing trade shows, trade advertising, telemarketing, direct mail pieces and direct contact with retailers we believe would be interested our products. Our DTR sales professional make sales calls to and meet with the buyers of these larger national and regional chains. Our strategy is for the chain to be serviced by direct delivery to the retailer’s distribution warehouse or to a wholesaler that services the whole retail chain. Examples of major retail chains that carry Celsius and get their product directly or through wholesalers are Vitamin Shoppe, GNC, Supervalue, Duane Reade, Albertsons, 7-Eleven, Raleys, etc. In some cases we service the retailer through our DSD distributors, they include: Hannafords (Northeast), Walgreens (Georgia, Michigan and Ohio), Meijers (Michigan), QFC (Washington). See Selling to DSD Distribution Network for more detail.
 
We also use brokers to capture retail chain customers. All brokers are paid a percentage commission on delivered product. One of our major brokers is Crossmark, who is one of the country’s three largest food brokers.
 
Selling to DSD Distribution Network
 
We are currently marketing to distributors using a number of marketing strategies, including direct solicitation, telemarketing, trade advertising and trade show exhibition. These distributors include established distributors of other beverages such as beer, energy drinks, soft drinks, water and ready to drink teas. Our distributors sell our products directly to retail chains, convenience stores, drugstores and mainstream supermarkets for sale to the public. We maintain direct contact with the distributors through our regional sales managers. A DSD distributor will have a defined territory (usually determined by a set of counties).  In some cases we will work with the distributor under a contractual arrangement. For the right to sell Celsius in their territory, they agree to certain duties of which one is a quarterly or yearly minimum of sales.
 
Distributors sell to the stores in their area. In many cases, the distributor services a chain of retail stores that have a corporate office or buying office that is outside their territory. We make the calls on those stores either on our own or through the neighboring distributor that does have the buying office in their territory.

Sales via the Internet
 
Consumers, smaller retailers and food service providers are able to purchase Celsius directly from our website. We have customers that choose this method of purchase and delivery in all 48 contiguous states. We are not focused on building this channel but it helps us build brand awareness in areas that do not have strong retailer or distributor presence yet.
 
Marketing to Consumers
 
Advertising. We utilize several marketing strategies to market directly to consumers. We have launched a marketing campaign focused on TV, radio, magazines and outdoor signage targeting consumers all over the country. Advertising in targeted consumer magazines such aimed at consumers interested in weight loss, diet and fitness, in-store discounts on the products, in-store product demonstration, street corner sampling, coupon advertising, consumer trade shows, event sponsoring and our website http://www.celsius.com are all among consumer-direct marketing devices we utilize.
 
In-Store Displays. As part of our marketing efforts, we offer in-store displays in key markets. We also believe that our unique packaging is an important part of making successful products.
 
Seasonality of Sales
 
Sales of our beverages are seasonal, with the highest sales volumes generally occurring in the second and third fiscal quarters, which correspond to the warmer months of the year in our major markets.
 
Competition
 
Our products compete broadly with all beverages available to consumers. The beverage market is highly competitive, and includes international, national, regional and local producers and distributors, many of whom have greater financial, management and other resources than us.
 
Our direct competitors in the functional beverage market include but are not limited to The Coca-Cola Company, Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, PepsiCo, Inc., Nestlé, Waters North America, Inc., Hansen Natural Corp., and Red Bull.
 
While we believe that we offer a unique product which will be able to compete favorably in this marketplace, the expansion of competitors in the functional beverage market, along with the expansion of our competitor’s products, many of whom have substantially greater marketing, cash, distribution, technical and other resources than we do, may impact our products ultimate sales to distributors and consumers.
 
Proprietary Rights
 
In connection with our acquisition of the business of Elite, we, through our wholly owned subsidiary Celsius, Inc., have acquired the Celsius® trademark, which is registered in the United States.
 
We will continue to take appropriate measures, such as entering into confidentiality agreements with our contract packers and exclusivity agreements with our flavor houses, to maintain the secrecy and proprietary nature of our flavor concentrates. We consider our trademarks and flavor concentrate trade secrets to be of considerable value and importance to our business. No successful challenges to our registered trademarks have arisen and we have no reason to believe that any such challenges will arise in the future.
 
Research and Development
 
In 2009 we launched the On-The-Go packets. Beyond 2009, we intend to target development and launch one high-potential new product per year.  We followed a detailed process to identify, qualify and develop Celsius. As our distribution network increases, we are beginning the process for the next line extension that we plan to launch into the distribution network. The objective is to allow the majority of the Company to stay focused on the current product, Celsius, and the distribution expansion while insuring that there will be additional follow on brands.
 
Government Regulation
 
The production, distribution and sale of our products in the United States is subject to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, various environmental statutes and various other federal, state and local statutes and regulations applicable to the production, transportation, sale, safety, advertising, labeling and ingredients of such products. California law requires that a specific warning appear on any product that contains a component listed by California as having been found to cause cancer or birth defects. The law exposes all food and beverage producers to the possibility of having to provide warnings on their products because the law recognizes no generally applicable quantitative thresholds below which a warning is not required. Consequently, even trace amounts of listed components can expose affected products to the prospect of warning labels. Products containing listed substances that occur naturally in the product or that are contributed to the product solely by a municipal water supply are generally exempt from the warning requirement. While none of our products are required to display warnings under this law, we cannot predict whether an important component of any of our products might be added to the California list in the future. We also are unable to predict whether or to what extent a warning under this law would have an impact on costs or sales of our products.

Measures have been enacted in various localities and states that require that a deposit be charged for certain non-refillable beverage containers. The precise requirements imposed by these measures vary. Other deposit, recycling or product stewardship proposals have been introduced in certain states and localities and in Congress, and we anticipate that similar legislation or regulations may be proposed in the future at the local, state and federal levels, both in the United States and elsewhere.
 
Our facilities in the United States are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. Compliance with these provisions has not had, and we do not expect such compliance to have, any material adverse effect upon our capital expenditures, net income or competitive position.
 
Environmental Matters
 
Based on our current operations, environmental protection requirements do not have a significant financial and operational effect on the capital expenditures, earnings and competitive position of our company in the current financial year and are not expected to have a significant effect in the reasonably foreseeable future.
 
Employees
 
As of September 30, 2009, we employed a total of thirty one employees on a full-time basis.  Of our thirty employees, we employ six in administrative capacities and twenty five persons in sales and marketing capacities. We have not experienced any work stoppages.  We have not entered into any collective bargaining agreements. We consider our relations with employees to be good. We also contract with a number of persons independently, who from time to time will work for us at events and samplings.
 
 
 Our executive offices are located at 140 NE 4th Avenue, Suite C, Delray Beach, FL 33483. We are currently being provided with space at this location by an unrelated third party, pursuant to a twelve month lease for $6,745 per month. We have a separate office for our sales and marketing personnel in a close by location. This office is leased for $4,000 monthly until March of 2010, at which point we plan to move all operations together in a new location.
 
The Company has no warehouses or other facilities.  We store our product at third party contract warehouse facilities. We produce our products through a packing, or co-pack, facility in Minnesota and Tennessee for our cans.  We have approved two other facilities for co-packing of cans in Indiana and North Carolina for cans, but are not currently producing product at these facilities.
 
 
We know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against our Company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
 
On January 24, 2007, the Company entered into a merger agreement and plan of reorganization with Celsius, Inc., Elite and Stephen C. Haley, the “Indemnifying Officer” and “Securityholder Agent” of Elite pursuant to which Elite was merged into Celsius, Inc. and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company on January 26, 2007 (the “Merger”).
 
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company issued:
 
·  
70,912,246 shares of its Common Stock to the stockholders of Elite as full consideration for the shares of Elite;
 
·  
1,391,500 shares of its Common Stock and a promissory note in the amount of $250,000.00 to Specialty Nutrition Group, Inc. (“SNG”) as consideration for termination of a consulting agreement and assignment of certain trademark rights to the name “Celsius”. The note is non-interest bearing and requires the Company to pay SNG $15,000 a month for eight (8) months starting March 30, 2007 and a lump sum payment of $130,000 on November 30, 2007.
 
These shares of our Common Stock and the note qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of since the issuance shares by us did not involve a public offering. The offerings were not “public offerings” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, and manner of the offering and number of shares offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares or notes to a high number of investors. In addition, these stockholders and the note holder had and agreed to the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2). Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for these transactions.

Current Business of our Company
 
We operate in the United States through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Celsius Inc., which acquired the operating business of Elite FX, Inc. (“Elite”) through a reverse merger on January 26, 2007, and Celsius Netshipments, Inc. Celsius, Inc. is in the business of developing and marketing healthier functional beverages in the functional beverage category of the beverage industry. Celsius was Elite’s first commercially available product. Celsius is a calorie burning beverage. Celsius is currently available in five sparkling flavors: cola, ginger ale, lemon/lime, orange and wild berry, and in two non-carbonated green teas with flavors of peach/mango and raspberry/acai. Celsius is also available in its On-the-go packets. Celsius Netshipments, Inc., incorporated in Florida on March 29, 2007, distributes the Celsius beverage via the internet. Our focus is on increasing sales of our existing products.
 
A major objective for the Celsius brand is to create a new beverage category, calorie burners, we utilize a multi-channel route-to-market strategy. This includes distributing through direct-store-delivery distributors and wholesalers to some channels of trade (convenience, grocery, health clubs, etc) as well as shipping direct-to-retailer for others (drug, mass, etc.).
 
We have currently signed up distributors in many of the larger markets in the US (Atlanta, Florida, Michigan, New England, Ohio, Texas, etc).
 
Our principal executive offices are located at 140 NE 4th Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33483. Our telephone number is (561) 276-2239 and our website is http://www.celsius.com. The information contained on our web sites do not constitute part of, nor is it incorporated by reference into this Prospectus.

Industry Overview
 
The functional beverage market includes a wide variety of beverages with one or more added ingredients to satisfy a physical or functional need, which often carries a unique and sophisticated imagery and a premium price tag. The five fastest-growing segments of the functional beverage market include: herb-enhanced fruit drinks, ready-to-drink (RTD) teas, sports drinks, energy drinks, and single-serve (SS) fresh juice.
 
Our Products
 
In 2005, Elite introduced Celsius to the beverage marketplace and it is our first product. Multiple clinical studies have shown that a single 12 ounce serving raises metabolism over a 3 to 4 hour period. Quantitatively, the energy expenditure was on average over 100 calories from a single serving.
 
It is our belief that clinical studies proving product claims will become more important as more and more beverages are marketed with functional claims. Celsius was one of the first beverages to be launched along with a clinical study. Celsius is also one of very few that has clinical research on the actual product. Some beverage companies that do mention studies backing their claims are actually referencing independent studies conducted on one or more of the ingredients in the product. We believe that it is important and will become more important to have studies on the actual product.
 
Two different research organizations have statistically proven the Celsius calorie burning capability in four clinical studies. This product line, which is referred to as our “core brand”, competes in the “functional beverage” segment of the beverage marketplace with distinctive flavors and packaging. This segment includes herb-enhanced fruit drinks, ready-to-drink (RTD) teas, sports drinks, energy drinks, and single-serve (SS) fresh juice. By raising metabolism for the extended period of three to four hours, Celsius provides a negative calorie effect (burn more than you consume) as well as energy.
 
We currently offer Celsius in five sparkling flavors: cola, ginger ale, lemon/lime, orange and wild berry, and in two non-carbonated green teas flavors: peach/mango and raspberry/acai. We have developed and own the formula for this product including the flavoring. The formulation and flavors for these products are produced under contract by concentrate suppliers. We have also started to market a Celsius On-the-go packet, that contains the active ingredients of the Celsius beverage and it is mixed with water to make a beverage.
 
Celsius is currently packaged in distinctive twelve ounce sleek cans that are in vivid colors in abstract patterns to create a strong on-shelf impact. The cans are sold in single units or in packages of four. The graphics and clinically tested product are important elements to Celsius and help justify the premium pricing of $1.79 to $2.19 per can.
 
Clinical Studies
 
We have funded four U.S. based clinical studies for Celsius. Each conducted by research organizations and each studied the total Celsius formula. The first study was conducted by the Ohio Research Group of Exercise Science and Sports Nutrition. The second, third and fourth studies were conducted by the Applied Biochemistry & Molecular Physiology Laboratory of the University of Oklahoma. We entered into a contract with the University of Oklahoma to pay for part of the cost of the clinical study. In addition, we provided Celsius beverage for the studies and paid for the placebo beverage used in the studies. None of our officers or directors are in any way affiliated with either of the two research organizations.
 
The first study was conducted by the Ohio Research Group of Exercise Science and Sports Nutrition. The Ohio Research Group of Exercise Science & Sports Nutrition is a multidisciplinary clinical research team dedicated to exploring the relationship between exercise, nutrition, dietary supplements and health, www.ohioresearchgroup.com. This placebo-controlled, double-blind cross-over study compared the effects of Celsius and the placebo on metabolic rate. Twenty-two participants were randomly assigned to ingest a twelve ounce serving of Celsius and on a separate day a serving of twelve ounces of Diet Coke®. All subjects completed both trials using a randomized, counterbalanced design. Randomized means that subjects were selected for each group randomly to ensure that the different treatments were statistically equivalent. Counterbalancing means that individuals in one group drank the placebo on the first day and drank Celsius on the second day. The other group did the opposite. Counterbalancing is a design method that is used to control ‘order effects’. In other words, to make sure the order that subjects were served, does not impact the results and analysis.
 
Metabolic rate (via indirect calorimetry, measurements taken from breaths into and out of calorimeter) and substrate oxidation (via respiratory exchange ratios) were measured at baseline (pre-ingestion) and for 10 minutes at the end of each hour for 3 hours post-ingestion. The results showed an average increase of metabolism of twelve percent over the three hour period, compared to statistically insignificant change for the control group. Metabolic rate, or metabolism, is the rate at which the body expends energy. This is also referred to as the “caloric burn rate”. Indirect calorimetry calculates heat that living organisms produce from their production of carbon dioxide. It is called “indirect” because the caloric burn rate is calculated from a measurement of oxygen uptake. Direct calorimetry would involve the subject being placed inside the calorimeter for the measurement to determine the heat being produced. Respiratory Exchange Ratio is the ratio oxygen taken in a breath compared to the carbon dioxide breathed out in one breath or exchange. Measuring this ratio can be used for estimating which substrate (fuel such as carbohydrate or fat) is being metabolized or ‘oxidized’ to supply the body with energy.

The second study was conducted by the Applied Biochemistry & Molecular Physiology Laboratory of University of Oklahoma. This blinded, placebo-controlled study was conducted on a total of sixty men and women of normal weight. An equal number of participants were separated into two groups to compare one serving (12oz) of Celsius to a placebo of the same amount. According to the study, those subjects consuming Celsius burned significantly more calories versus those consuming the placebo, over a three hour period. The study confirmed that over the three hour period, subjects consuming a single serving of Celsius burned sixty-five percent more calories than those consuming the placebo beverage and burned an average of more than one hundred calories compared to placebo. These results were statistically significant.
 
The third study, also conducted by the Applied Biochemistry & Molecular Physiology Laboratory of University of Oklahoma, extended our second study with the same group of sixty individuals and protocol for 28 days and showed the same statistical significance of increased calorie burn (minimal attenuation). While the University of Oklahoma study did extend for 28 days, more testing would be needed for long term analysis of the Celsius calorie burning effects. Also, these studies were on relatively small numbers of subjects, they have statistically significant results. Additional studies on a larger number and wider range of body compositions can be considered to further the analysis.
 
Our fourth study, also conducted by the Applied Biochemistry & Molecular Physiology Laboratory of University of Oklahoma, combined Celsius with exercise. This 10-week placebo-controlled, randomized and blinded study was conducted on a total of 37 subjects. Participants were randomly assigned into one of two groups: Group 1 consumed one serving of Celsius per day, and Group 2 consumed one serving of an identically flavored and labeled placebo beverage. Both groups participated in 10 weeks of combined aerobic and weight training, following the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines of training for previously sedentary adults. The results showed that consuming a single serving of Celsius prior to exercising may enhance the positive adaptations of exercise on body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness and endurance performance. According to the preliminary findings, subjects consuming a single serving of Celsius lost significantly more fat mass and gained significantly more muscle mass than those subjects consuming the placebo - a 93.75% greater loss in fat and 50% greater gain in muscle mass, respectively. The study also confirmed that subjects consuming Celsius significantly improved measures of cardiorespiratory fitness and the ability to delay the onset of fatigue when exercising to exhaustion.

Risk Factors
 
We have a limited operating history with significant losses and expect losses to continue for the foreseeable future
 
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 26, 2005 under the name “Vector Ventures Corp.” The Company changed its name to “Celsius Holdings, Inc.” on December 26, 2006. We are a holding company and carry on no operating business except through our direct wholly-owned subsidiaries, Celsius, Inc. and Celsius Netshipments, Inc. Celsius, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on January 18, 2007, and merged with Elite on January 26, 2007, which was incorporated in Florida on April 22, 2004. Celsius Netshipments, Inc. was incorporated in Florida on March 29, 2007.
 
It is difficult to evaluate our business future and prospects as we are a young company with a limited operating history. At this stage of our business operations, even with our good faith efforts, potential investors have a high probability of losing their investment. Our future operating results will depend on many factors, including the ability to generate sustained and increased demand and acceptance of our products, the level of our competition, and our ability to attract and maintain key management and employees.

Table of Contents
 
We have yet to establish any history of profitable operations. We have continuously incurred operating losses since inception. We have incurred an operating loss during the first six months ending June 30, 2009 of $2.6 million. As a result, at June 30, 2009 we had an accumulated deficit of $14.0 million. Our revenues have not been sufficient to sustain our operations. We expect that our revenues will not be sufficient to sustain our operations for the foreseeable future. Our profitability will require the successful commercialization of our current product Celsius® and any future products we develop. No assurances can be given when this will occur or that we will ever be profitable.
 
We will require additional financing to sustain our operations and without it we may not be able to continue operations
 
At June 30, 2009, we had a working capital deficit of $187,000. The independent auditor’s report for the year ended December 31, 2008, includes an explanatory paragraph to their audit opinion stating that our recurring losses from operations and working capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We do not currently have sufficient financial resources to fund our operations or those of our subsidiaries. Therefore, we need additional funds to continue these operations.
 
The sale of our Common Stock to Golden Gate Investors, LLC, CD Financial, LLC, CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC and Lucille Santini may cause dilution and the sale of the shares of Common Stock acquired by Golden Gate Investors, LLC, CD Financial, LLC, CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC or Lucille Santini could cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.
 
In connection with issuing a convertible debenture to Golden Gate Investors, LLC (“GGI”), we have issued 18.0 million shares to GGI between June 16, 2008 and May 21, 2009, as partial conversion of the debenture. If requested by GGI, we may have to issue approximately one million shares to GGI based on the current conversion price and outstanding amount of the debenture. We are not obligated to convert the debenture, if the price of our shares is below $0.20.
 
On June 10, 2008, the total amount of $750,000 in notes payable to CD Financial, LLC (“CDF”) was converted to 11,184,016 shares of Common Stock.
 
We have sold a total of 6,000 Preferred A and B shares to CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC (“CDS”), and they have received a total of 92 shares in dividends. CDS can convert its Preferred A and B shares into a maximum of 106 million shares of Common Stock. CDS has the right to purchase an additional 1,000 Series A Preferred Shares, which may be converted into a maximum of 12.5 million shares of Common Stock.
 
On September 8, 2009, we entered into a convertible loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with CDS.  In connection with such Loan Agreement, CDS can convert the note in to a maximum of 65,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
 
On September 8, 2009, we entered into we entered into a convertible loan agreement (the “Refinance Agreement 2”) with Lucille Santini.  In connection with such Refinance Agreement, Ms. Santini can convert the note into a maximum of 6,150,000 shares of Common Stock.
 
We have not achieved profitability on an annual basis and expect to continue to incur net losses in future quarters, which could force us to discontinue operations.
 
We recorded net losses every quarter of operation since inception. We had an accumulated deficit of $14.0 million as of June 30, 2009. We could incur net losses for the foreseeable future as we expand our business. We will need to generate additional revenue from the sales of our products or take steps to reduce operating costs to achieve and maintain profitability. Even if we are able to increase revenue, we may experience price competition that will lower our gross margins and our profitability. If we do achieve profitability, we cannot be certain that we can sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis and we could be forced to discontinue our operations.
 
We depend upon our trademarks and proprietary rights, and any failure to protect our intellectual property rights or any claims that we are infringing upon the rights of others may adversely affect our competitive position.
 
 Our success depends, in large part, on our ability to protect our current and future brands and products and to defend our intellectual property rights. We cannot be sure that trademarks will be issued with respect to any future trademark applications or that our competitors will not challenge, invalidate or circumvent any existing or future trademarks issued to, or licensed by, us. We believe that our competitors, many of whom are more established, and have greater financial and personnel resources than we do, may be able to replicate our processes, brands, flavors, or unique market segment products in a manner that could circumvent our protective safeguards. Therefore, we cannot give you any assurance that our confidential business information will remain proprietary.

We rely in part on wholesale distributors and in part on direct delivery to retailers for the success of our business, the loss or poor performance of which may materially and adversely affect our business.
 
We sell our products in part to wholesalers for resale to retail outlets, and also directly to retail outlets.  Retail outlets, also referred to as retailers; include grocery stores, convenience stores, nutritional and drug stores. The replacement or poor performance of the Company's major customers and or the Company's inability to collect accounts receivable from the Company's major customers could materially and adversely affect the Company's results of operations and financial condition. Distribution channels for beverage products have been characterized in recent years by rapid change, including consolidations of certain wholesalers. In addition, wholesalers and retailers of the Company's products offer products which compete directly with the Company's products for retail shelf space and consumer purchases. Accordingly, there is a risk that these wholesalers or retailers may give higher priority to products of the Company's competitors. In the future, the Company's wholesalers and retailers may not continue to purchase the Company's products or provide the Company's products with adequate levels of promotional support.
 
We may incur material losses as a result of product recall and product liability.
 
 We may be liable if the consumption of any of our products causes injury, illness or death. We also may be required to recall some of our products if they become contaminated or are damaged or mislabeled. A significant product liability judgment against us, or a widespread product recall, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The government may adopt regulations that could increase our costs or our liabilities. The amount of the insurance we carry is limited, and that insurance is subject to certain exclusions and may or may not be adequate.
 
We may not be able to develop successful new products, which could impede our growth and cause us to sustain future losses
 
Part of our strategy is to increase our sales through the development of new products. We cannot assure you that we will be able to develop, market, and distribute future products that will enjoy market acceptance. The failure to develop new products that gain market acceptance could have an adverse impact on our growth and materially adversely affect our financial condition.
 
Our lack of product diversification and inability to timely introduce new or alternative products could cause us to cease operations.
 
Our business is centered on healthier functional beverages. The risks associated with focusing on a limited product line are substantial. If consumers do not accept our products or if there is a general decline in market demand for, or any significant decrease in, the consumption of nutritional beverages, we are not financially or operationally capable of introducing alternative products within a short time frame. As a result, such lack of acceptance or market demand decline could cause us to cease operations.
 
Our directors and executive officers beneficially own a substantial amount of our Common Stock, and therefore other stockholders will not be able to direct our Company.
 
The majority of our shares and the voting control of the Company is held by a relatively small group of stockholders, who are also our directors and executive officers. Accordingly, these persons, as a group, will be able to exert significant influence over the direction of our affairs and business, including any determination with respect to our acquisition or disposition of assets, future issuances of Common Stock or other securities, and the election or removal of directors. Such a concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the Company or cause the market price of our stock to decline. Notwithstanding the exercise of the fiduciary duties of these directors and executive officers and any duties that such other stockholder may have to us or our other stockholders in general, these persons may have interests different than yours.
 
We are dependent on our key executives, the loss of which may have a material adverse effect on our Company.
 
Our future success will depend substantially upon the abilities of, and personal relationships developed by, Stephen C. Haley, our Chief Executive Officer, President, Chairman of the Board and majority stockholder, Jan Norelid our Chief Financial Officer, and Mrs. Irina Lorenzi, our Innovations VP. The loss of Messrs. Haley, Norelid or Mrs. Lorenzi’s services could materially adversely affect our business and our prospects for the future. We do not have key person insurance on the lives of such individuals. Our future success also depends on our continuing ability to attract and retain highly qualified technical and managerial personnel. Competition for such personnel in the functional beverage industry is intense and we may not be able to retain our key managerial and technical employees or that it will be able to attract and retain additional highly qualified technical and managerial personnel in the future. The inability to attract and retain the necessary technical and managerial personnel could have a material and adverse affect upon our business, results of operations and financial condition

Our Common Stock is deemed a low-priced "Penny" stock, therefore an investment in our Common Stock should be considered high risk and subject to marketability restrictions.
 
Since our Common Stock is a penny stock, as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange Act, it will be more difficult for investors to liquidate their investment. Until the trading price of the Common Stock rises above $5.00 per share, if ever, trading in our Common Stock is subject to the penny stock rules of the Exchange Act specified in rules 15g-1 through 15g-10. Those rules require broker-dealers, before effecting transactions in any penny stock, to:
 
·  
Deliver to the customer, and obtain a written receipt for, a disclosure document;
·  
Disclose certain price information about the stock;
·  
Disclose the amount of compensation received by the broker-dealer or any associated person of the broker-dealer;
·  
Send monthly statements to customers with market and price information about the penny stock; and,
·  
In some circumstances, approve the purchaser's account under certain standards and deliver written statements to the customer with information specified in the rules
 
Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell our Common Stock and may affect the ability of holders to sell their Common Stock in the secondary market and the price at which such holders can sell any such securities. These additional procedures could also limit our ability to raise additional capital in the future.
 
The foregoing list is not exhaustive. There can be no assurance that we have correctly identified and appropriately assessed all factors affecting our business or that the publicly available and other information with respect to these matters is complete and correct. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial also may adversely impact us. Should any risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, these developments could have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For these reasons, the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (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. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including, among others, those affecting revenues, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the salability of inventory and the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, or if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates. Many of our estimates or judgments are based on anticipated future events or performance, and as such are forward-looking in nature, and are subject to many risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this report. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise this discussion to reflect any future events or circumstances.
 
Although our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements, the following discussion is intended to describe those accounting policies and estimates most critical to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and our other accounting policies, see Note 1 contained in Part II, Item 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, included in Form 10-K.
 
Accounts Receivable – We evaluate the collectability of our trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors. In circumstances where we become aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve for bad debts is estimated and recorded, which reduces the recognized receivable to the estimated amount we believe will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential bad debts, bad debt charges are recorded based on our recent past loss history and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable outstanding.
 
Revenue Recognition – Our products are sold to distributors, wholesalers and retailers for cash or on credit terms. Our credit terms, which are established in accordance with local and industry practices, typically require payment within 30 days of delivery. We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Any discounts, sales incentives or similar arrangement with the customer is estimated at time of sale and deducted from revenue. All sales to distributors and retailers are final sales and we have a “no return” policy; however, in limited instances, due to credit issues or distributor changes, we may take back product. We believe that adequate provision has been made for cash discounts, returns and spoilage based on the Company’s historical experience.

Table of Contents
 
Inventory – We hold raw materials and finished goods inventories, which are manufactured and procured based on our sales forecasts. We value inventory at the lower of cost or market and include adjustments for estimated obsolescence, principally on a first in-first out basis. These valuations are subject to customer acceptance and demand for the particular products, and our estimates of future realizable values are based on these forecasted demands. We regularly review inventory detail to determine whether a write-down is necessary. We consider various factors in making this determination, including recent sales history and predicted trends, industry market conditions and general economic conditions. Differences could result in the amount and timing of write-downs for any period if we make different judgments or use different estimates.
 
Stock-Based Compensation –We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula to estimate the fair value of stock options at the date of grant. The Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing formula was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. The Company’s employee stock options, however, have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options. For example, employee stock options are generally subject to vesting restrictions and are generally not transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility, the expected life of an option and the number of awards ultimately expected to vest. Changes in subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates of an option. Furthermore, the estimated fair value of an option does not necessarily represent the value that will ultimately be realized by an employee. The Company uses historical data of comparable companies to estimate the expected price volatility, the expected option life and the expected forfeiture rate. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the estimated life of the option. If actual results are not consistent with the Company’s assumptions and judgments used in estimating the key assumptions, the Company may be required to increase or decrease compensation expense or income tax expense, which could be material to its results of operations.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R significantly changes the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent consideration, pre-acquisition contingencies, transaction costs, in-process research and development, and restructuring costs. In addition, under SFAS 141R, changes in an acquired entity’s deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 141R did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets.” This guidance is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141R when the underlying arrangement includes renewal or extension of terms that would require substantial costs or result in a material modification to the asset upon renewal or extension. Companies estimating the useful life of a recognized intangible asset must now consider their historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements or, in the absence of historical experience, must consider assumptions that market participants would use about renewal or extension as adjusted for SFAS No. 142’s entity-specific factors. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this FSP did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
 

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, which amends SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, (“SFAS No. 107”) and APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” respectively, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements, in addition to the annual financial statements as already required by SFAS No. 107. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 will be required for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. As FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 provide only disclosure requirements, the application of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
 
All new accounting pronouncements issued but not yet effective have been deemed to not be applicable; hence the adoption of these new standards is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008
 
Revenue
 
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $1.2 and $1.0 million, respectively. The increase of 16.6 percent was mainly due improved sales to DSD distributors, to direct customers such as Vitamin Shoppe and GNC and to increased sales via the internet. During the three-month period in 2008 we shipped a very large export order; the buyer has not reordered since then. Without this order our increase would have been 102 percent for the quarter over the same period last year. It is too early to project our revenue for the third quarter 2009, but we believe that it will surpass the second quarter.
 
Gross profit
 
Gross Profit was 42.0 percent in the second quarter 2009 as compared to 36.9 percent for the same period in 2008. The margin last year was reduced due to low margin on the large export order. As we increase our growth, our cost of shipping should be reduced and therefore may increase our margins. We incurred cost increases on some of our raw materials in the second quarter of 2009, but were able to compensate for such increases by switching suppliers, which lowered product cost as compared to the same period in 2008.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Sales and marketing expenses have increased substantially from one year to the next, $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2009 as compared to $705,000 for the same three-month period in 2008, or an increase of $749,000. This was mainly due to increased direct advertising expense by $378,000 and employee cost by $353,000. The general and administrative expenses increased from $423,000 for the three-month period in 2008 to $449,000 for the same period in 2009, an increase of $26,000. This was mainly due to increased employee cost of $103,000 offset to a lesser degree by $93,000 less expense for issuance of options and shares for services. We have increased our efforts in radio and TV advertising. The radio has been using our jingle “Burn Baby Burn” in various markets mainly in the eastern and central United States. We have also used TV advertising in the Boston area. We continue our efforts to participate in many sampling, shows, sports and exercise events across the country.
 
Other expense
 
The net interest expense decreased from $157,000 for the three-month period in 2008 to $27,000 during the second quarter in 2009, or a decrease of $130,000. This decrease is mainly due to the reduction of debt discount amortization of $121,000.
 
 
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2009 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008
 
Revenue
 
Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $2.1 and $1.5 million, respectively. The increase of 39.4 percent was mainly due improved sales to DSD distributors, mainly New England and Florida, to direct customers such as Vitamin Shoppe and GNC and to increased sales via the internet. During the six month period in 2008 we shipped a very large export order; the buyer has not reordered since then. Without this order our increase would have been 91 percent for the six months over the same period last year
 
Gross profit
 
Gross Profit was 42.9 percent in the six months ending June 30, 2009 as compared to 39.3 percent for the same period in 2008. The margin last year was reduced due to low margin on the large export order. As we increase our growth, our cost of shipping should be reduced and therefore may increase our margins. We incurred cost increases on some of our raw materials in the second quarter of 2009, but were able to compensate for such increases by switching suppliers, which lowered product cost as compared to the same period in 2008.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Sales and marketing expenses have increased substantially from one year to the next, $2.7 million for the first two quarters of 2009 as compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2008, or an increase of $1.1 million. This was mainly due to increased direct advertising expense by $559,000 and employee cost by $467,000. The general and administrative expenses decreased from $888,000 for the six-month period in 2008 to $804,000 for the same period in 2009, a decrease of $84,000. This was mainly due to $140,000 less expense for issuance of options and less development cost of $108,000, offset to a lesser degree by increased employee cost of $181,000. We have increased our efforts in radio and TV advertising. The radio has been using our jingle “Burn Baby Burn” in various markets mainly in the eastern and central United States. We have also used TV advertising in the Boston area during 3 of the last six months. We continue our efforts to participate in many sampling, shows, sports and exercise events across the country.

Other expense
 
The net interest expense decreased from $260,000 for the six-month period in 2008 to $56,000, during the second quarter in 2009, or a decrease of $204,000. This decrease is mainly due to the reduction of debt discount amortization of $165,000.
 
THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008 COMPARED TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007
 
Revenue
 
Revenue increased 57.5 percent for the year 2008 to $2.6 million, as compared to $1.6 million in 2007. The increase was mainly due to increased number of retailers selling our product, such as Walgreens, CVS, Meijers; new large distributors such as Farner-Bocken, Polar Beverages and RSI; increases from our existing customers such as Vitamin Shoppe and Krogers; and to a large export order in the second quarter of the year, offset to a lesser extent by losses of some accounts.
 
Gross Profit
 
Gross profit was 29.2 percent of net revenue during the year 2008, as compared to 37.1 percent in 2007. The decrease is mainly due to the decision to discontinue sales of Celsius in glass bottles and solely concentrate on cans. We recorded a write down of inventory due to obsolescence of bottled finished goods and packaging material of $320,000 in 2008. No such write down occurred in 2007. Without this write down our gross profit would have been 41.6 percent in 2008.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Sales and marketing expenses increased to $3.9 million in 2008 as compared to $2.1 million in 2007, an increase of $1.8 million or 87.4 percent. This increase was mainly due to increased cost for personnel, $372,000; new local distribution organization in South Florida, $225,000; increased cost of sampling events and other local promotion, $882,000; license rights to the song “Burn Baby Burn” and radio advertising increase, $344,000. We have shifted our focus on sales and marketing expenditure. General and administrative expenses increased to $1.7 million in 2008 as compared to $1.6 million in 2007, an increase of $186,000. The increase was mainly due to increased cost for issuance of shares to third parties for services, $86,000; increased product development expenses, $48,000; increased collection and factoring expenses, $74,000; offset to a lesser extent by decreased investor relations expenses, $63,000; and decreased insurance expenses, $59,000.
 
We recognized an expense for termination of a consulting agreement in the first quarter of 2007 of $500,000. Coinciding with the Merger, the Company issued 1.4 million shares of Common Stock, valued at $250,000, and an interest-free note for $250,000, as consideration for termination of a consulting agreement.
 
Other Expense
 
Other expense consists of interest on outstanding loans of $412,000 in 2008 as compared to $189,000 in 2007. The increase of $223,000 was mainly due to amortization of debt discounts on convertible notes for a total of $211,000, increased interest cost on a convertible debenture of $93,000, offset to a lesser extent by decreased loan balances and renegotiation of interest rates. Our interest income increased from $8,000 in 2007 to $70,000 in 2008, an increase of $62,000, due to a note receivable from Golden Gate Investors, Inc.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We have yet to establish any history of profitable operations. As a result, at June 30, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of $14.0 million. At June 30, 2009, we had a working capital deficit of $187,000. The independent auditor’s report for the year ended December 31, 2008, includes an explanatory paragraph to their audit opinion stating that our recurring losses from operations and working capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have had operating cash flow deficits all quarters of operations. Our revenue has not been sufficient to sustain our operations. We expect that our revenue will not be sufficient to sustain our operations for the foreseeable future. Our profitability will require the successful commercialization of our current product Celsius® and any future products we develop. No assurances can be given when this will occur or that we will ever be profitable.
 
We fund part of our working capital from a line of credit with a related party, CD Financial, LLC. The line of credit was started in December 2008 and is for $1 million. The interest rate is LIBOR rate plus three percent on the outstanding balance. The line expires in December 2009 and is renewable. In connection with the revolving line of credit we have entered into a loan and security agreement under which we have pledged all our assets as security for the line of credit. The outstanding balance as of June 30, 2009 was $300,000.
 
We borrowed in 2004 and 2005 a total of $500,000 from one of our stockholders with interest of a rate variable with the prime rate. In July 2008, we restructured the agreement and decreased the interest rate to prime rate flat, monthly payments of $5,000 until a balloon payment of approximately $606,000 in January 2010. The outstanding balance as of June 30, 2009 was $620,000.  In September, 2009, this debt was restructured and we issued a convertible note of $615,000 with maturity in September 2012. Interest on the convertible note is set at 3% over the one-month LIBOR rate. The first interest payment is due in September 2010 and quarterly thereafter. The note can be converted to shares of our common stock.

We borrowed $50,000 from the CEO of the Company in February 2006. We also owed the CEO $171,000 for accrued salaries from 2006 and 2007. The two debts were restructured in to one note accruing 3% interest, monthly payments of $5,000 and with a balloon payment of $64,000 in January 2011. The outstanding balance as of June 30, 2009 was $162,000.
 
We terminated a consulting agreement with a company controlled by one of our former directors. As partial consideration we issued a note payable for $250,000. The outstanding balance as of June 30, 2009 was $45,000.
 
We issued in December 2007 a convertible note for $1.5 million and received $250,000 in cash and a note receivable for $1.3 million; see further discussion below on our purchase agreement with Golden Gate Investors.
 
In August of 2008, we entered into a security purchase agreement (“SPA1”) with CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC (“CDS”), an affiliate of CD Financial, LLC (“CD”), pursuant to which we received $1.5 million in cash, cancelled two convertible notes issued to CD for $500,000. In exchange, the Company issued to CDS, 2,000 Series A Preferred Shares, and a warrant to purchase additional 1,000 Series A Preferred Shares. See further discussion below on SPA1 with CDS.
 
In December of 2008, we entered into a second security purchase agreement (“SPA2”) with CDS pursuant to which we received $2.0 million in cash and issued 2,000 Series B Preferred Shares, and a warrant to purchase additional 2,000 Series B Preferred Shares. In March, 2009, CDS exercised its warrant and subscribed to an additional 2,000 Series B Preferred Shares. During April and May, 2009, we received the corresponding $2 million in cash. See further discussion below on SPA2 with CDS.
 
We entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Fusion Capital in June 2007. During 2007, we received $1.4 million in proceeds from sales of shares to Fusion Capital. We can sell shares for a consideration of up to $14.6 million to Fusion Capital until October 2009, when and if the selling price of the shares to Fusion Capital exceeds $0.45.
 
In August 2009, we issued to CD an unsecured note for $1 million and received $1 million in cash.  In September 2009, this note was refinanced.  The current unsecured note accrues interest at 6% per annum and has a maturity date of February 28, 2010.
 
In September 2009, we entered into a $6.5 million loan agreement with CDS. The loan can be disbursed at $2 million per month for the months of September, October and November and $500,000 in December. The loan is due in September 2012. Interest is set at 3% over the one-month LIBOR rate. The first interest payment is due in September 2010 and quarterly thereafter. The note can be converted to shares of our common stock.
 
We will require additional financing to sustain our operations. Management estimates that we need to raise an additional $5.0 to $15.0 million in order to implement our revised business plan over the next 12 months. We are able to implement an alternative business plan with less financing. We do not currently have sufficient financial resources to fund our operations or those of our subsidiaries. Therefore, we need additional funds to continue these operations. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to raise sufficient financing.
 
The following table summarizes contractual obligations and borrowings as of December 31, 2008, and the timing and effect that such commitments are expected to have on our liquidity and capital requirements in future periods (in thousands). We expect to fund these commitments primarily with raise of debt or equity capital.

OUR PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH GOLDEN GATE INVESTORS, INC
 
On December 19, 2007, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Golden Gate Investors, Inc (“GGI”). The agreement includes four tranches of $1,500,000 each. The first tranche consists of a 7.75% convertible debenture (the “Debenture”) issued by the Company, in exchange for $250,000 in cash and a promissory note for $1,250,000 issued by GGI which matures on February 1, 2012. The promissory note contains a prepayment provision which requires GGI to make prepayments of interest and principal of $250,000 monthly upon satisfaction of certain conditions. One of the conditions to prepayment is that GGI may immediately sell all of the Common Stock Issued at Conversion (as defined in the Debenture) pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933. The Company is under no contractual obligation to ensure that GGI may immediately sell all of the Common Stock Issued at Conversion pursuant to Rule 144. In the event that GGI may not immediately sell all of the Common Stock Issued at Conversion pursuant to Rule 144, GGI would be under no obligation to prepay the promissory note and likewise under no obligation to exercise its conversion rights under the Debenture. If GGI does not fully convert the Debenture by its maturity on December 19, 2011, the balance of the Debenture is offset by any balance due to the Company under the promissory note. As of June 30, 2009, the balances of the promissory note and Debenture were $250,000 and $596,000, respectively. The Debenture can be converted at any time with a conversion price as the lower of (i) $1.00, or (ii) 80% of the average of the three lowest daily volume weighted average price during the 20 trading days prior to GGI’s election to convert. The Company is not required to issue the shares unless a corresponding payment has been made on the promissory note. GGI converted $879,000 of its convertible debenture through June 2009 receiving 18.0 million shares of Common Stock.
 
GGI did not make its note payment due on October 21, 2008.  On September 8, 2009, the Company entered into an addendum to the agreement with GGI. The balance of the note receivable, $250,000 was netted against the balance of the Debenture. The outstanding balance of the debenture is $346,000. All future tranches were cancelled and terminated without penalty to either party.
 
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the promissory note, purchase agreement, and Debenture, a copy of each of which was filed as Exhibit 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4, respectively to our Current Report on Form 8-K/A as filed with the SEC on January 9, 2008 and each of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
 

OUR SECURITY PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH CDS VENTURES OF SOUTH FLORIDA, LLC
 
On August 8, 2008, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (“SPA1”) with CDS, an affiliate of CD Financial, LLC (“CD”).

SPA1 was amended on December 12, 2008 to provide that until December 31, 2010, the conversion price is $0.08, after which the conversion price is the greater of $0.08 or 90% of the volume weighted average price of the common stock for the prior 10 trading days. Pursuant to SPA1, we also entered into a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which we filed a registration statement for the common stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Shares. The registration statement filed in connection with the Preferred A Shares was declared effective on May 14, 2009.

The full agreement can be reviewed in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 12, 2008.

The Preferred B Shares can be converted into our common stock at any time. Until December 31, 2010, the conversion price is $0.05, after which the conversion price is the greater of $0.05 or 90% of the volume weighted average price of the common stock for the prior 10 trading days. Pursuant to SPA2, we entered into a registration rights agreement under which we agreed to file a registration statement for the common stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred B Shares.  We have filed this registration statement pursuant to registration rights agreement executed in connection with SPA2. The Preferred B Shares accrue a ten percent annual cumulative dividend, payable in additional Preferred B Shares. We issued 11 Preferred B Shares in dividends during the first quarter of 2009. The Preferred B Shares mature on December 31, 2013 and are only redeemable in Company Common Stock. The full agreement can be reviewed in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 17, 2008.
 
On March 31, 2009, CDS exercised its right to purchase additional 2,000 Preferred B Shares and executed a subscription agreement for $2.0 million. The monies for the subscription were paid on April 7 and May 1, 2009.
 
Certain covenants of both Series A and B preferred shares restrict the Company from entering into additional debt arrangements or permitting liens to be filed against the Company’s assets, without approval from the holder of the preferred shares. There is a mandatory redemption in cash, if the Company breaches certain covenants of the agreements. The holders have liquidation preference in case of company liquidation. The Company has the right to redeem the preferred shares early by the payment in cash of 104% of the liquidation preference value. The Company may redeem the Series A shares at any time on or July 1, 2010 and the Series B shares at any time on or after January 1, 2011.

Mr. Haley directly owns 26,744,926 shares. Also includes 18,144,926 shares owned by Lucille Santini. Mr. Haley has voting power over these shares through a voting agreement dated on August 7, 2008, valid until July 31, 2010. Excludes any shares owned directly and indirectly by his wife Mrs. Janice Haley.
(6)
Applicable percentage of ownership is based on 152,615,242 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 2, 2009 together with securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock within sixty (60) days of the Record Date, for each stockholder. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of Common Stock are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such securities for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of such person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Note that affiliates are subject to Rule 144 and insider trading regulations - percentage computation is for form purposes only.

Arrangements Possibly Resulting in a Change in Control
 
Upon exercise of the unexpired warrants it holds, CD Financial, LLC with its subsidiary CDS Ventures of Florida, LLC, would beneficially own, but not own of record, 122,416,516 shares of the Company’s common stock giving it beneficial ownership of approximately 46.0% of our common stock outstanding as of May 18, 2009. Accordingly, if CD Financial, LLC were to exercise its warrants, it would have enough shares of our common stock to effectively control our company.
 
SECTION 16 (a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of our common stock to file with the SEC reports of their holdings of and transactions in our common stock. To the best of our knowledge, based solely upon our review of copies of such reports and representation from reporting persons that were provided to us, we believe that each of our executive officers and directors timely filed Forms 4 and 5 with respect to transactions that should have been reported by them on such Forms.

On January 18, 2007, we adopted our 2006 Incentive Stock Plan. The 2006 Incentive Stock Plan provides for equity incentives to be granted to our employees, officers or directors or to key advisers or consultants. Equity incentives may be in the form of stock options with an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the underlying shares as determined pursuant to the 2006 Incentive Stock Plan, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, stock bonus awards, other stock-based awards, or any combination of the foregoing. The 2006 Incentive Stock Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. In the absence of such committee, the Board of Directors administers the plan. The 2006 Incentive Stock Plan was approved by our stockholders at the shareholders’ annual meeting on January 18, 2007.

Material Features of Individual Arrangements Not Approved by Shareholders

FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Statutes and our articles of incorporation. We have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question whether such indemnification is against public policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the court's decision.
 
 
We received advances from one of our stockholders, Mrs. Santini, at various instances during 2004 and 2005, $76,000 and $424,000, respectively. Mrs. Santini owned as of the record date 12.2% of our outstanding common stock. In July 2008, we restructured the agreement and decreased the interest rate to prime rate flat, no collateral, monthly payments of $5,000 until a balloon payment of approximately $606,000 in January 2010. The outstanding balance as of June 30, 2009 was $620,000. In September 2009, this debt was restructured to a convertible note of $615,000 with maturity in September 2012. Interest on the convertible note is set at 3% over the one-month LIBOR rate. The first interest payment is due in September 2010 and quarterly thereafter. The note can be converted to shares of our common stock.
 
We have accrued $171,000 for Mr. Haley’s, our CEO, salary from March 2006 through May 30, 2007. Mr. Haley also lent us $50,000 in February 2006. The two debts were restructured in July 2008 into one note accruing 3 percent interest, no collateral, monthly payments of $5,000 and with a balloon payment of $64,000 in January 2011. The outstanding balance as of December 31, 2008 was $176,000.
 
Mr. Haley has guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the factoring agreement with Bibby Financial Services, Inc. (“Bibby”). This agreement has been cancelled and the debt was paid off in November 2008. Mr. Haley has also guaranteed the financing of vehicles on our behalf, and was previously guaranteeing the office lease for the Company. Mr. Haley was not compensated for issuing the guarantees.
 
Mrs. Janice Haley, Vice President of Strategic Accounts and Business Development, is the spouse to Mr. Haley, our CEO. Her compensation is disclosed in the compensation chart of named executives.
 
In August of 2008, we entered into a security purchase agreement (“SPA1”) with CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC (“CDS”), an affiliate of CD Financial, LLC (“CD”), pursuant to which we received $1.5 million in cash, cancelled two convertible notes issued to CD for $500,000. In exchange, the Company issued to CDS, 2,000 Series A Preferred Shares, and a warrant to purchase additional 1,000 Series A Preferred Shares. See further discussion below on SPA1 with CDS.
 
In December of 2008, we entered into a second security purchase agreement (“SPA2”) with CDS pursuant to which we received $2.0 million in cash and issued 2,000 Series B Preferred Shares, and a warrant to purchase additional 2,000 Series B Preferred Shares. In March, 2009, CDS exercised its warrant and subscribed to an additional 2,000 Series B Preferred Shares. During April and May, 2009, we received the corresponding $2 million in cash. See further discussion below on SPA2 with CDS.
 
In August 2009, we issued to CD an unsecured note for $1 million and received $1 million in cash.  In September 2009, this note was refinanced.  The current unsecured note accrues interest at 6% per annum and has a maturity date of February 28, 2010.

In September 2009, we entered into a $6.5 million loan agreement with CDS. The loan can be disbursed at $2 million per month for the months of September, October and November and $500,000 in December. The loan is due in September 2012. Interest is set at 3% over the one-month LIBOR rate. The first interest payment is due in September 2010 and quarterly thereafter. The note can be converted to shares of our common stock.
 
We have entered into a 6 month lease agreement for office space with CDR Plaza, Ltd. a company controlled by Carl DeSantis. The monthly rate is $4,000 for a 3,000 square foot space.

ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
Celsius Holdings, Inc. (f/k/a Vector Ventures Corp.) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 26, 2005. The Company was formed to engage in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties. On December 26, 2006 the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from Vector Ventures Corp. as well as increase the authorized shares to 350 million, $0.001 par value common shares and 50 million, $0.001 par value preferred shares.

Celsius Holdings, Inc. operates in United States through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Celsius Inc., which acquired the operating business of Elite FX, Inc. (“Elite”) through a reverse merger on January 26, 2007, and Celsius Netshipments, Inc. Celsius, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on January 18, 2007, and merged with Elite FX, Inc. (“Elite”) on January 26, 2007 (the “Merger”), which was incorporated in Florida on April 22, 2004. Celsius, Inc. is in the business of developing and marketing healthier beverages in the functional beverage category of the beverage industry. Celsius was Elite’s first commercially available product. Celsius is a beverage that burns calories. Celsius is currently available in five sparkling flavors: cola, ginger ale, lemon/lime, orange and wild berry, and two non-carbonated green teas: peach/mango and raspberry/acai. Celsius is also available in its On-the-go packets. Celsius Netshipments, Inc., incorporated in Florida on March 29, 2007, distributes the Celsius beverage via the internet.

Prior to January 26, 2007, the Company was in the exploration stage with its activities limited to capital formation, organization, development of its business plan and acquisition of mining claims. On January 24, 2007, the Company entered into a merger agreement and plan of reorganization with Celsius, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Sub”), Elite FX, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Elite”), and Steve Haley, the “Indemnifying Officer” and “Securityholder Agent” of Elite, (the “Merger Agreement”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement Elite was merged into Sub and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company on January 26, 2007 (the “Merger”).

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company issued
 
·  
70,912,246 shares of its common stock to the stockholders of Elite, including 1,337,246 shares of common stock issued as compensation, as full consideration for the shares of Elite;
·  
warrants to Investa Capital Partners Inc. to purchase 3,557,812 shares of common stock of the Company for $500,000, the warrants were exercised in February 2007;
·  
1,391,500 shares of its common stock as partial consideration of termination of a consulting agreement and assignment of certain trademark rights to the name “Celsius”;
·  
options to purchase 10,647,025 shares of common stock of the Company in substitution for the options currently outstanding in Elite;
·  
1,300,000 shares of its common stock concurrent with the Merger in a private placement to non-US resident investors for aggregate consideration of US$650,000 which included the conversion of a $250,000 loan to the Company.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 
Celsius Holdings, Inc’s majority stockholder, Mr. Kristian Kostovski, cancelled 7,200,000 shares of common stock of the Company held by him shortly after the close of the Merger Agreement.
 
For financial accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as a recapitalization of Celsius Holdings, Inc with the former stockholders of Celsius Holdings, Inc retaining approximately 24.6% of the outstanding stock. This transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition and accordingly the transaction has been treated as a recapitalization of Elite, with Elite as the accounting acquirer. The historical financial statements are a continuation of the financial statements of the accounting acquirer, and any difference of the capital structure of the merged entity as compared to the accounting acquirer’s historical capital structure is due to the recapitalization of the acquired entity.
 
After the merger with Elite FX the Company changed its business to become a manufacturer of beverages. The calorie burning beverage Celsius® is the first brand of the Company.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of the management, the interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the statement of the results for the interim periods presented.
 
Going Concern — The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented on a going concern basis. The Company has suffered losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management is currently seeking new capital or debt financing to provide funds needed to increase liquidity, fund growth, and implement its business plan. However, no assurances can be given that the Company will be able to raise any additional funds. If not successful in obtaining financing, the Company will have to substantially diminish or cease its operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
Consolidation Policy — The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Celsius Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Significant Estimates — The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could affect the results of operations reported in future periods.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
 
 
Concentrations of Risk — Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from the sale of the Celsius beverage.
 
The Company uses single supplier relationships for its raw materials purchases, which potentially subjects the Company to a concentration of business risk. If these suppliers had operational problems or ceased making product available to the Company, operations could be adversely affected.
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high-quality financial institutions. At times, balances in the Company’s cash accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company did not have any investments with maturities greater than three months.
 
Accounts Receivable — Accounts receivable are reported at net realizable value. The Company has established an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors pertaining to the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. Delinquent accounts are written-off when it is determined that the amounts are uncollectable. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, there was an allowance for doubtful accounts of $21,855 and $53,101, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized a reduction to allowance for doubtful accounts of $31,246.
 
Inventories — Inventories include only the purchase cost and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the FIFO method. Inventories consist of raw materials and finished products. The Company writes down inventory during the period in which such materials and products are no longer usable or marketable. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, there was an allowance for obsolescence of $93,272 and $207,045, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company wrote down inventory by $113,773.
 
Property, Fixtures, and Equipment — Furniture, fixtures and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of furniture, fixtures, and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset generally ranging from three to seven years. Depreciation expense recognized in the first six months of 2009 was $25,902.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — Asset impairments are recorded when the carrying values of assets are not recoverable.
 
The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, or at least annually. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company recognizes an impairment loss. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of assets exceeds the fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risks associated with the recovery of the asset.

The Company did not recognize an impairment charge during the first six months of 2009 or 2008, respectively.
 
Intangible Assets — Intangible assets consist of the web domain name Celsius.com and other trademarks and trade names, and are subject to annual impairment tests. This analysis is performed in accordance with Statement of Financial Standards (‘‘SFAS’’) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Based upon impairment analyses performed in accordance with SFAS No. 142 in fiscal years 2009 and 2008, impairment was recorded of nil and $41,500, respectively. The impairment recorded was for expenses for trademarks.
 
Revenue Recognition — Revenue is recognized when the products are delivered, invoiced at a fixed price and the collectability is reasonably assured. Any discounts, sales incentives or similar arrangement with the customer is estimated at time of sale and deducted from revenue.
 
Advertising Costs — Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company uses mainly radio, local sampling events and printed advertising. The Company incurred expenses of $861,000 and $529,000, during the first six months of 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Research and Development — Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred and consist primarily of consulting fees, raw material usage and test productions of new products. The Company incurred expenses of $30,000 and $138,000, during the first six months of 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximates fair value. The carrying value of debt approximates the estimated fair value due to floating interest rates on the debt.
 
Income Taxes — Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other than changes in the tax law or rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is deemed more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be not realized.
 
Earnings per Share — Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income available to stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, convertible notes and warrants (calculated using the reverse treasury stock method). As of June 30, 2009 there were options outstanding to purchase 15.9 million shares, which exercise price averaged $0.07. The dilutive common shares equivalents, including convertible notes, preferred stock and warrants, of 126.7 million shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, because the inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
 
Reclassifications — Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, such reclassifications had no effect on the reported net loss.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R significantly changes the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent consideration, pre-acquisition contingencies, transaction costs, in-process research and development, and restructuring costs. In addition, under SFAS 141R, changes in an acquired entity’s deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 141R did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method significantly changes the accounting for transactions with minority interest holders. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008. These standards will change the Company’s accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis.
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets.” This guidance is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141R when the underlying arrangement includes renewal or extension of terms that would require substantial costs or result in a material modification to the asset upon renewal or extension. Companies estimating the useful life of a recognized intangible asset must now consider their historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements or, in the absence of historical experience, must consider assumptions that market participants would use about renewal or extension as adjusted for SFAS No. 142’s entity-specific factors. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this FSP did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
 
In March 2008 and May 2008, respectively, the FASB issued the following statements of financial accounting standards, neither of which is did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position:

 
• 
SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133;” and
 
• 
SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.”
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies (“FSP FAS 141(R)-1”). This pronouncement amends SFAS No. 141R to clarify the initial and subsequent recognition, subsequent accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. FSP SFAS No. 141(R)-1 requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value, as determined in accordance with SFAS No. 157, if the acquisition-date fair value can be reasonably estimated. If the acquisition-date fair value of an asset or liability cannot be reasonably estimated, the asset or liability would be measured at the amount that would be recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies” (SFAS No. 5), and FASB Interpretation No. 14, “Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss.” FSP SFAS No. 141(R)-1 became effective for the Registrants as of January 1, 2009. As the provisions of FSP FAS 141(R)-1 are applied prospectively to business combinations with an acquisition date on or after the guidance became effective, the impact to the Registrants cannot be determined until the transactions occur. No such transactions occurred during 2009.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, which amends SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, (“SFAS No. 107”) and APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” respectively, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements, in addition to the annual financial statements as already required by SFAS No. 107. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 will be required for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. As FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 provide only disclosure requirements, the application of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

LONG TERM DEBENTURE
 
On December 19, 2007, the Company entered into a $6 million security purchase agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with Golden Gate Investors, Inc (“GGI”), a California corporation. Under the Security Agreement, the Company issued as a first tranche a $1.5 million convertible debenture maturing on December 19, 2011. The debenture accrues seven and 3/4 percent interest per annum. As consideration the Company received $250,000 in cash and a note receivable for $1,250,000. The note receivable accrues eight percent interest per annum and is due on February 1, 2012. The note has a pre-payment obligation of $250,000 per month when certain criteria are fulfilled. One of the conditions to prepayment is that GGI may immediately sell all of the Common Stock Issued at Conversion (as defined in the Debenture) pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933. The Company is under no contractual obligation to ensure that GGI may immediately sell all of the Common Stock Issued at Conversion pursuant to Rule 144. In the event that GGI may not immediately sell all of the Common Stock Issued at Conversion pursuant to Rule 144, GGI would be under no obligation to prepay the promissory note and likewise under no obligation to exercise its conversion rights under the Debenture. If GGI does not fully convert the Debenture by its maturity on December 19, 2011, the balance of the Debenture is offset by any balance due to the Company under the promissory note. The Company is not obligated to convert the debenture to shares, partially or in full, unless GGI prepays the respective portion of its obligation under the note. The Security Agreement contains three more identical tranches for a total agreement of $6 million. Each new tranche can be started at any time by GGI during the debenture period which is defined as between December 19, 2007 until the balance of the existing debentures is $250,000 or less. Either party can, with a penalty payment of $45,000 for the Company, and $100,000 for GGI, cancel any or all of the three pending tranches.
 
The debenture is convertible to common shares at a conversion rate of the lower of (i) eighty percent of the average of the three lowest volume weighted average prices for the previous 20 trading days and (ii) $1.00. The Company is not obligated to convert the amount requested to be converted into Company common stock, if the conversion price is less than $0.20 per share. GGI’s ownership in the company cannot exceed 4.99% of the outstanding common stock. Under certain circumstances the Company may be forced to pre-pay the debenture with a fifty percent penalty of the pre-paid amount.
 
The Company recorded a debt discount of $186,619 with a credit to additional paid in capital for the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of the conversion option at the time of issuance. The debt discount is being amortized over the term of the debenture. The Company recorded $23,316 as interest expense amortizing the debt discount during the first six months of 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company considered SFAS 133 and EITF 00-19 and concluded that the conversion option should not be bifurcated from the host contract according to SFAS 133 paragraph 11 a, and concluded that according to EITF 00-19 the conversion option is recorded as equity and not a liability.
 
During 2008, the Company received $1,000,000 in payment on the note receivable. From June 2008 to June 2009, the Company converted $879,000 of the debenture to approximately 18.0 million shares of Common Stock and the Company paid $25,000 of the debenture in cash. The outstanding liability, net of debt discount, as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was $480,886 and $562,570, respectively.

PREFERRED STOCK
 
On August 8, 2008, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (“SPA1”) with CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC (“CDS”), an affiliate of CD Financial, LLC (“CD”). Pursuant to SPA1, the Company issued 2,000 Series A preferred shares (“Preferred A Shares”), as well as a warrant to purchase an additional 1,000 Preferred A Shares, for a cash payment of $1.5 million and the cancellation of two notes in aggregate amount of $500,000 issued to CD. The Preferred A Shares can be converted into Company common stock at any time. SPA1 was amended on December 12, 2008 to provide that until December 31, 2010 the conversion price is $0.08, after which the conversion price is the greater of $0.08 or 90% of the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the prior 10 trading days. Pursuant to SPA1, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement under which the Company agreed to file a registration statement for the common stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Shares. The Preferred A Shares accrue a ten percent annual cumulative dividend, payable in additional Preferred A Shares. In March 2009, the Company issued 81 Preferred A Shares in dividends. The Preferred A Shares mature on February 1, 2013 and are redeemable only in Company Common Stock.

On March 31, 2009, CDS exercised its right to purchase additional 2,000 Preferred B Shares and executed a subscription agreement for $2.0 million. The monies for the subscription were paid on April 7 and May 1, 2009.
 
Certain covenants of both Series A and B preferred shares restrict the Company from entering into additional debt arrangements or permitting liens to be filed against the Company’s assets, without approval from the holder of the preferred shares. There is a mandatory redemption in cash, if the Company breaches certain covenants of the agreements. The holders have liquidation preference in case of company liquidation. The Company has the right to redeem the preferred shares early by the payment in cash of 104% of the liquidation preference value. The Company may redeem Series A at any time on or after July 1, 2010 and Series B at any time on or after January 1, 2011.

Until 2017, options to acquire up to 16.0 million shares of common stock may be granted at no less than fair market value on the date of grant. Upon exercise, shares of new common stock are issued by the Company.
 
At June 30, 2009, the Company has issued approximately 15.9 million options to purchase shares at an average price of $0.07 with a fair value of $725,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, the Company recognized $90,443 and $131,070 of non-cash compensation expense, respectively, (included in General and Administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations). As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had approximately $295,000 and $192,000, respectively, of unrecognized pre-tax non-cash compensation expense which the Company expects to recognize, based on a weighted-average period of 1.2 and 0.9 years, respectively. The Company used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and straight-line amortization of compensation expense over the two to three year requisite service or vesting period of the grant. There are options to purchase approximately 8.1 million shares that have vested, and 33,342 shares were exercised as of June 30, 2009. The following is a summary of the assumptions used:

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
The Company has entered into distribution agreements with liquidated damages in case the Company cancels the distribution agreements without cause. Cause has been defined in various ways. In one such distribution agreement, the liquidated damages are payable in common stock rather than cash. If such agreement is terminated with cause, the potential liability is to have to issue shares to the distributor at a purchase price of $0.06. The quantity of shares depends on this distributor’s purchases from the Company as compared to the Company’s total revenue. It is managements’ belief that no liability for liquidated damages exists as of today’s date.
 
19.  
BUSINESS AND CREDIT CONCENTRATION
 
Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from the sale of the Celsius beverage.
 
The Company uses single supplier relationships for its raw materials purchases, which potentially subjects the Company to a concentration of business risk. If these suppliers had operational problems or ceased making product available to the Company, operations could be adversely affected. No vendor accounted for more than 10% of total payments in 2009.

From April to June, 2008, the Company sold in one order to one international customer 15.9% of the Company’s total revenue for the year 2008. There is no assurance that this customer will order again. There were three customers that in the six months ended June 30, 2009, purchased each for more than 10% of the Company’s net revenue for the period.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
At the annual shareholders meeting on July 16, 2009, the shareholders approved an increase in the number of authorized shares from 350 million to 1 billion common shares and approved an amendment to the Company’s 2006 Incentive Stock Plan to increase the total number of shares available to be issued from 16.0 million to 50.0 million shares of common stock.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors
Celsius Holdings, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Celsius Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to  have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the  effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statements presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008, and 2007, respectively, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations, and has an accumulated deficit and net cash used in operations of $4,840,152 for the year ended December 31, 2008. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regards to these matters are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Prior to January 26, 2007, the Company was in the exploration stage with its activities limited to capital formation, organization, development of its business plan and acquisition of mining claims.  On January 24, 2007, the Company entered into a merger agreement and plan of reorganization with Celsius, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Sub”), Elite FX, Inc., a Florida corporation (“Elite”), and Steve Haley, the “Indemnifying Officer” and “Securityholder Agent” of Elite, (the “Merger Agreement”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement Elite was merged into Sub and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company on January 26, 2007 (the “Merger”).
 
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company issued:
 
·  
70,912,246 shares of its common stock to the stockholders of Elite, including 1,337,246 shares of common stock issued as compensation, as full consideration for the shares of Elite;
 
·  
warrants to Investa Capital Partners Inc. to purchase 3,557,812 shares of common stock of the Company for $500,000. The warrants were exercised in February 2007;
 
·  
1,391,500 shares of its common stock as partial consideration for termination of a consulting agreement and assignment of certain trademark rights to the name “Celsius”;
 
·  
options to purchase 10,647,025 shares of common stock of the Company in substitution for the options currently outstanding in Elite;
 
·  
1,300,000 shares of its common stock concurrent with the Merger in a private placement to non-US resident investors for aggregate consideration of US$650,000 which included the conversion of a $250,000 loan to the Company.
 
Celsius Holdings, Inc’s majority stockholder, Mr. Kristian Kostovski, cancelled 7,200,000 shares of common stock of the Company held by him shortly after the close of the Merger Agreement.
 
For financial accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as a recapitalization of Celsius Holdings, Inc with the former stockholders of the Celsius Holdings, Inc retaining approximately 24.6% of the outstanding stock. This transaction has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition and accordingly the transaction has been treated as a recapitalization of Elite FX, Inc., with Elite FX, Inc. as the accounting acquirer. The historical financial statements are a continuation of the financial statements of the accounting acquirer, and any difference of the capital structure of the merged entity as compared to the accounting acquirer’s historical capital structure is due to the recapitalization of the acquired entity.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
 
2.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Going Concern — The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented on a going concern basis. The Company has suffered losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit and net cash used in operations of $4,840,152 for the year ended December 31, 2008. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management is currently seeking new capital or debt financing to provide funds needed to increase liquidity, fund growth, and implement its business plan. However, no assurances can be given that the Company will be able to raise any additional funds. If not successful in obtaining financing, the Company will have to substantially diminish or cease its operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
Consolidation Policy — The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Celsius Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Significant Estimates — The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Concentrations of Risk — Substantially all of the Company’s revenue derives from the sale of the Celsius beverage.
 
The Company uses single supplier relationships for its raw materials purchases and filling capacity, which potentially subjects the Company to a concentration of business risk. If these suppliers had operational problems or ceased making product available to the Company, operations could be adversely affected.
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high-quality financial institutions. At times, balances in the Company’s cash accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2008, the Company did not have any investments with maturities greater than three months.
 
Accounts Receivable — Accounts receivable are reported at net realizable value. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors pertaining to the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. Delinquent accounts are written-off when it is determined that the amounts are uncollectible. At December 31, 2008 and December 31 2007, there was an allowance for doubtful accounts of $53,101 and $0, respectively.
 
Inventories — Inventories include only the purchase cost and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the FIFO method. Inventories consist of raw materials and finished products. The Company writes down inventory during the period in which such materials and products are no longer usable or marketable. At December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, there was a reserve for obsolescence of $207,045 and $16,444, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
 
Property, Fixtures, and Equipment — Furniture, fixtures and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of furniture, fixtures, and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset generally ranging from three to seven years.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — Asset impairments are recorded when the carrying values of assets are not recoverable.
 
The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or at least annually. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the Company recognizes an impairment loss. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of assets exceeds the fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risks associated with the recovery of the asset.
 
Intangible Assets — Intangible assets consist of the web domain name Celsius.com and other trademarks and trade names, and are subject to annual impairment tests. This analysis will be performed in accordance with Statement of Financial Standards (‘‘SFAS’’) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Based upon impairment analyses performed in accordance with SFAS No. 142 in fiscal years 2008 and 2007, impairment was recorded of $41,500 and $26,000, respectively. The impairment recorded was for expenses for trademarks, domain names and international registration of trademarks.
 
Revenue Recognition — Revenue is recognized when the products are delivered, invoiced at a fixed price and the collectability is reasonably assured. Any discounts, sales incentives or similar arrangements with the customer are estimated at time of sale and deducted from revenue.
 
Advertising Costs — Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company uses mainly radio, local sampling events and printed advertising. The Company incurred advertising expense of $1.6 million and $535,000, during the fiscal years 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Research and Development — Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred and consists primarily of consulting fees, raw material usage and test productions of beverages. The Company incurred expenses of $261,000 and $214,000, during the fiscal years 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximates fair value. The carrying value of debt approximates the estimated fair value due to floating interest rates on the debt.
 
Income Taxes — Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other than changes in the tax law or rates. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is deemed more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be not realized.

Earnings per Share — Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing income available to stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Dilutive common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon conversion of preferred shares, exercise of stock options and warrants (calculated using the reverse treasury stock method). Common share equivalents outstanding were 86,130,991 and 8,534,864, as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Reclassifications — Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on the reported net loss.
 
Share-Based Payments — In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R) "Share-Based Payment," (“SFAS 123(R)”), which replaces SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25. Under SFAS 123(R), companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No.107 "SAB 107'. SAB 107 expresses views of the staff regarding the interaction between SFAS 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides the staffs views regarding the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company has fully adopted the provisions of SFAS 123(R) and related interpretations as provided by SAB 107. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant as the fair value of the share-based payments. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements; rather, it applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
In February 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”).  SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities.  SFAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R significantly changes the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent consideration, pre-acquisition contingencies, transaction costs, in-process research and development, and restructuring costs. In addition, under SFAS 141R, changes in an acquired entity’s deferred tax assets and uncertain tax positions after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS 141R will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 changes the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method significantly changes the accounting for transactions with minority interest holders. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2008. These standards will change our accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis.
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets.” This guidance is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No. 141R when the underlying arrangement includes renewal or extension of terms that would require substantial costs or result in a material modification to the asset upon renewal or extension. Companies estimating the useful life of a recognized intangible asset must now consider their historical experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements or, in the absence of historical experience, must consider assumptions that market participants would use about renewal or extension as adjusted for SFAS No. 142’s entity-specific factors. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and is applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this FSP will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition.
 
In March 2008 and May 2008, respectively, the FASB issued the following statements of financial accounting standards, none of which is anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position:
 
·  
SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133;”
·  
SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles;” and

At the time of recording the note a beneficial conversion feature for the conversion option was recorded in the amount $57,219, of which $6,199 was amortized in 2007, and $51,020 in 2008. Total outstanding as of December 31, 2007 was $199,692, which is net of debt discount of $51,020.

At the time of recording the second note a beneficial conversion feature for the conversion option was recorded as a debt discount in the amount $154,835. On June 10, 2008, the total amount of $750,000 was converted to 11,184,016 shares of Common Stock. The Company amortized $106,948 of the debt discount as interest expense; the remaining balance of the debt discount at time of conversion reduced the amount credited to equity.
 
On June 5, 2008, the Company issued a third convertible note for $250,000 to CD. On July 15, 2008 the Company issued a fourth convertible note for $250,000 to CD.  The notes carry 8 percent interest. At the time of recording the first note a beneficial conversion feature for the conversion option was recorded in the amount $15,625, of which $6,621 was amortized in June of 2008. On August 8, 2008, the convertible notes in the aggregate amount of $500,000 were cancelled and exchanged as partial consideration for preferred stock issued to CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC, an affiliate of CD.

14.  LONG TERM DEBENTURE
 
On December 19, 2007, the Company entered into a $6 million security purchase agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with Golden Gate Investors, Inc (“GGI”), a California corporation. Under the Security Agreement, the Company issued as a first tranche a $1.5 million convertible debenture maturing on December 19, 2011. The debenture accrues seven and 3/4 percent interest per annum.  As consideration the Company received $250,000 in cash and a note receivable for $1,250,000. The note receivable accrues eight percent interest per annum and is due on February 1, 2012. The note has a pre-payment obligation of $250,000 per month when certain criteria are fulfilled. The Company is not obligated to convert the debenture to shares, partially or in full, unless GGI prepays the respective portion of its obligation under the note. The Security Agreement contains three more identical tranches for a total agreement of $6 million. Each new tranche can be started at any time by GGI during the debenture period which is defined as between December 19, 2007 until the balance of the existing debentures is $250,000 or less. Either party can, with a penalty payment of $45,000 for the Company, and $100,000 for GGI, cancel any or all of the three pending tranches.
 
The debenture is convertible to common shares at a conversion rate of eighty percent of the average of the three lowest volume weighted average prices for the previous 20 trading days. The Company is not obligated to convert the amount requested to be converted into Company common stock, if the conversion price is less than $0.20 per share. GGI’s ownership in the company cannot exceed 4.99% of the outstanding common stock. Under certain circumstances the Company may be forced to pre-pay the debenture with a fifty percent penalty of the pre-paid amount.

The Company recorded a debt discount of $186,619 with a credit to additional paid in capital for the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature of the conversion option at the time of issuance.

Fusion shall not have the right or the obligation to purchase any shares of our common stock on any business day that the price of our common stock is below $0.45. The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time at our discretion without any cost to us. The Company has sold to Fusion 795,495 shares for a total consideration of $400,000, before expenses related to the share issuances.

18.  INCOME TAXES
 
For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company’s net tax provision was zero.
 
The difference between the effective income tax rate and the United States federal income tax rate is summarized as follows:
 
   
2008
   
2007
 
Statutory federal rate
    (34.0 %)     (34.0 %)
State income tax
    (3.6 %)     (3.6 %)
Effect of permanent differences
    3.0 %     1.6 %
Change in valuation allowance
    34.6 %     36.0 %
      0.0 %     0.0 %

The deferred tax asset consisted of the following at December 31:
 
   
2008
   
2007
 
Net operating losses
  $ 3,803,000     $ 2,156,000  
Other deferred tax assets
    206,000       79,000  
Valuation allowance
    (4,009,000 )     ( 2,235,000 )
Total
  $ 0     $ 0  
                 
 
In assessing the ability to realize a portion of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred 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 tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making the assessment. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $4.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively. The increase in valuation allowance was $1.8 million and $1.3 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase in valuation allowance was primarily attributable to the increase in net operating losses. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance at December 31, 2008 of $4.0 million or 100% of the assets.

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” ((“FIN48”). This Interpretation prescribes a consistent recognition threshold and measurement standard, as well as clear criteria for subsequently recognizing, derecognizing and measuring tax positions for financial statement purposes. The Interpretation also requires expanded disclosure with respect to uncertainties as they relate to income tax accounting. Fin 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has evaluated all of its tax positions and determined that FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations during its year ended December 31, 2008.
 
19.  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
The Company adopted an Incentive Stock Plan on January 18, 2007. This plan is intended to provide incentives which will attract and retain highly competent persons at all levels as employees of the Company, as well as independent contractors providing consulting or advisory services to the Company, by providing them opportunities to acquire the Company's common stock or to receive monetary payments based on the value of such shares pursuant to Awards issued. While the plan terminates 10 years after the adoption date, issued options have their own schedule of termination. Until 2017, options to acquire up to 16.0 million shares of common stock may be granted at no less than fair market value on the date of grant. Upon exercise, shares of new common stock are issued by the Company.
 
The Company has issued approximately 13.4 million options to purchase shares at an average price of $0.07 with a fair value of $527,000. For the year ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company recognized $196,794 and $138,000, respectively, of non-cash compensation expense (included in General and Administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations). As of December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had approximately $192,000 and $488,000, respectively, of unrecognized pre-tax non-cash compensation expense which the Company expects to recognize, based on a weighted-average period of 0.9 years. The Company used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and straight-line amortization of compensation expense over the two to three year requisite service or vesting period of the grant. There are options to purchase approximately 5.1 million shares that have vested, and 16,671 shares were exercised as of December 31, 2008. The following is a summary of the assumptions used:

The Company recognized the expense upon issuance of the grant.
 
 In March, 2008, the Company issued a total of 750,000 shares as compensation to an international distributor at a fair value of $120,000.

During 2008 the Company issued a total of 183,135 shares as compensation to a consultant and a distributor at a fair value of $11,450.

22.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
The Company has entered into distribution agreements with liquidated damages in case the Company cancels the distribution agreements without cause. Cause has been defined in various ways. It is the management belief that no such agreement has created any liability as of today’s date.
 
There is one agreement that also has liquidated damages, but instead of a monetary damage, the potential liability is to have to issue shares to the distributor at a purchase price of $0.06. The quantity of shares depends on this distributor’s purchases from the Company as compared to the Company’s total revenue.
 
23.  BUSINESS AND CREDIT CONCENTRATION
 
Substantially all of the Company’s revenue derives from the sale of the Celsius beverage.
 
The Company uses single supplier relationships for its raw materials purchases and filling capacity, which potentially subjects the Company to a concentration of business risk.

ITEM 14.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
The Nevada Revised Statutes and our bylaws provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees and other persons against claims and liability by reason of serving as a director, officer or employee.
 
Indemnification Under Nevada Law
 
Nevada law generally permits us to indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents. Pursuant to the provisions of Nevada Revised Statutes 78.7502, a corporation may indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents as follows:
 
(a) A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation, against expenses, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he: (a) is not liable for breach of his fiduciary duties as a director or officer pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
 
(b) A corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he: (a) is not liable for breach of his fiduciary duties pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
 
(c) To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.
 
II-1

Table of Contents
 
Articles of Incorporation and Other Arrangements of the Registrant
 
Our articles of incorporation provide for the indemnification of every person that is or was a director or officer of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director or officer of another corporation, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.  The articles of incorporation provide that such right of indemnification shall be a contract right which may be enforced in any manner desired by such person.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
 
On January 24, 2007, the Company entered into a merger agreement and plan of reorganization with Celsius, Inc., Elite and Stephen C. Haley, the “Indemnifying Officer” and “Securityholder Agent” of Elite pursuant to which Elite was merged into Celsius, Inc. and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company on January 26, 2007 (the “Merger”).
 
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company issued:
 
·  
70,912,246 shares of its Common Stock to the stockholders of Elite as full consideration for the shares of Elite;
 
·  
1,391,500 shares of its Common Stock and a promissory note in the amount of $250,000.00 to Specialty Nutrition Group, Inc. (“SNG”) as consideration for termination of a consulting agreement and assignment of certain trademark rights to the name “Celsius”. The note is non-interest bearing and requires the Company to pay SNG $15,000 a month for eight (8) months starting March 30, 2007 and a lump sum payment of $130,000 on November 30, 2007.
 
These shares of our Common Stock and the note qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of since the issuance shares by us did not involve a public offering. The offerings were not “public offerings” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, and manner of the offering and number of shares offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares or notes to a high number of investors. In addition, these stockholders and the note holder had and agreed to the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2). Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for these transactions.
 
In addition, under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company issued:
 
·  
warrants to Investa Capital Partners Inc. representing 3,557,812 shares of Common Stock of the Company which were exercised by on February 9, 2007 for an aggregate consideration of $500,000 in cash.
 
·  
1,300,000 shares of its Common Stock concurrent with the Merger in a private placement to non-US resident investors for aggregate consideration of US$650,000 which included the conversion of a $250,000 loan to the Company

The Company believes that all of the foregoing sales qualified for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act since the issuance of the notes and shares by us did not involve a public offering. The offerings were not “public offerings” as defined in Section 4(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the deal, size of the offering, and manner of the offering and number of shares offered. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number of shares or notes to a high number of investors. In addition, these stockholders and the note holder had and agreed to the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(2). Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act for these transactions.
 
We did not employ an underwriter in connection with the issuance of the securities described above. We believe that the issuance of the foregoing securities was exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

Table of Contents
 
 
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered hereby which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
4. For determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned small business issuer undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
 
(a) Any preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 of the Securities Act;

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B of the Securities Act or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A of the Securities Act, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
