Note 7. Management’s Plans for Continuing Operations

 

     The Company has incurred a net loss of $2,998,954 for the six month period ended July 2, 2011, and a net loss of $269,787 for the six month period ended July 3, 2010.  The loss for the six month period ended July 2, 2011 is largely due to increased selling, general and administrative expenses related to an increase in share-based compensation expenses.  Our share-based compensation expense increased to $1,505,723 for the six month period ended July 2, 2011 from $282,457 for the six month period ended July 3, 2010.  This large increase in share-based compensation expense was largely due to stock options that were granted following consummation of the 2010 Private Placement and was also the result of the Company issuing restricted stock to certain employees and consultants.  The Company will continue to incur significant share-based compensation expenses over the next two years.  In addition, management has invested heavily in additional personnel and marketing expenses for the development and launch of new retail products containing proprietary ingredients, such as pterostilbene.
 

     Management has also implemented additional strategic operational structure changes, which it believes will allow the Company to achieve profitability with future growth without incurring significant additional overhead costs.  Management’s anticipation of future growth is largely related to the new line of proprietary ingredients offered by the Company and the demand for retail products containing these ingredients.  The Company has implemented a comprehensive sales and marketing plan focused on these proprietary ingredients, as well as the retail products being launched by the Company that contain these proprietary ingredients.  The Company has also expanded its marketing plan to market to the pharmaceutical and cosmetic sectors to support the Company’s reference standards, analytical services and discovery libraries product lines.
 

     Management believes it will be able to support operations of the Company with its current cash, cash equivalents and cash from operations through December 2011.  In addition, as of July 2, 2011, the Company has 15,774,994 warrants outstanding with an exercise price of $0.21 per share.  Assuming the full exercise of the outstanding warrants for cash, the Company would receive additional proceeds of $3,312,749.   There is no guarantee that the holders of these warrants will exercise any of the outstanding warrants for cash, and the Company will not receive any proceeds from any of the outstanding warrants until they are exercised.  If the Company determines that it needs additional financing to further enable its long-term strategic objectives, there can be no assurance that it will be available on terms favorable to it or at all.  If adequate financing is not available, the Company may have to delay, postpone or terminate product and service expansion and curtail general and administrative operations in order to maintain sufficient operating capital after December 2011.  The inability to raise additional financing may have a material adverse effect on the future performance of the Company.
