MamaMancini’s Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
July 31, 2014
Note 1 - Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Operations
MamaMancini’s Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), (formerly known as Mascot Properties, Inc.) was organized on July 22, 2009 as a Nevada corporation.
Current Business of the Company
The Company is a manufacturer and distributor of beef meatballs with sauce, turkey meatballs with sauce, and other similar meats and sauces. The Company’s customers are located throughout the United States, with a large concentration in the Northeast and Southeast.
Mergers
On January 24, 2013, the Company, Mascot Properties Acquisition Corp, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), MamaMancini’s, Inc., a privately-held Delaware Corporation headquartered in New Jersey (“MamaMancini’s”) and an individual (the “Majority Shareholder”), entered into an Acquisition Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Merger Sub was merged with and into MamaMancini’s, with MamaMancini’s surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). The Company acquired, through a reverse triangular merger, all of the outstanding capital stock of MamaMancini’s in exchange for issuing MamaMancini’s shareholders (the “MamaMancini’s Shareholders”), pro-rata, a total of 20,054,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Immediately after the Merger was consummated, and further to the Agreement, the majority shareholders and certain affiliates of the Company cancelled a total of 103,408,000 shares of the Company’s common stock held by them (the “Cancellation”). In consideration of the Cancellation of such common stock, the Company paid the Majority Shareholder in aggregate of $295,000 and 800,000 shares of common stock and released the other affiliates from certain liabilities. In addition, the Company has agreed to spinout to the Majority Shareholder all assets related to the Company’s real estate management business within 30 days after the closing. As a result of the Merger and the Cancellation, the MamaMancini’s Shareholders became the majority shareholders of the Company.
The condensed consolidated financial statements presented for all periods through and including July 31, 2014 are those of MamaMancini’s. As a result of this Merger, the equity sections of MamaMancini’s for all prior periods presented reflect the recapitalization described above and are consistent with the July 31, 2014 balance sheet presented for the Company.
Since the transaction is considered a reverse acquisition and recapitalization, the presentation of pro-forma financial information was not required.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

MamaMancini’s Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
July 31, 2014
The unaudited financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring items, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations for the periods presented. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed on March 20, 2014 and the audited financial statements as of January 31, 2014 and for the one month period then ended filed with this Form 10-Q. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read or have access to the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. Accordingly, footnote disclosure, which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 have been omitted. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending January 31, 2015.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Change of Year End
Effective January 13, 2014, MamaMancini’s Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) changed its fiscal year-end date to January 31. The Company’s 2014 fiscal year commenced on February 1, 2014 and concludes on January 31, 2015. The Company changed its year end to be consistent with a significant number of its retail customers that have a fiscal year end on or near January 31. This allows the Company to more accurately account for accrued discounts and promotions to these retailers. The Company determined that recasting the prior year comparable period ended January 31, 2013 would not be material.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions impact, among others, the following: allowance for bad debt, inventory obsolescence, the fair value of share-based payments.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from our estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and change in consumer demand. The Company’s operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial and operational risks including the potential risk of business failure.
The Company has experienced, and in the future expects to continue to experience, variability in sales and earnings. The factors expected to contribute to this variability include, among others, (i) the cyclical nature of the grocery industry, (ii) general economic conditions in the various local markets in which the Company competes, including the general downturn in the economy, and (iii) the volatility of prices pertaining to food and beverages in connection with the Company’s distribution of the product. These factors, among others, make it difficult to project the Company’s operating results on a consistent basis.

MamaMancini’s Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
July 31, 2014
Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company held no cash equivalents at July 31, 2014 or January 31, 2014.
The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. The Company generally does not require collateral to support customer receivables. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon a review of the outstanding accounts receivable, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. The Company determines if receivables are past due based on days outstanding, and amounts are written off when determined to be uncollectible by management. The maximum accounting loss from the credit risk associated with accounts receivable is the amount of the receivable recorded, which is the face amount of the receivable net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. As of July 31, 2014 and January 31, 2014, the Company had reserves of $2,000.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at average cost using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) valuation method. Inventory was comprised of the following at July 31, 2014 and January 31, 2014:
July 31, 2014 | January 31, 2014 | |||||||
Finished goods | $ | 469,158 | $ | 159,829 |
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation expense is computed using straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives.
Asset lives for financial statement reporting of depreciation are:
Machinery and equipment | 2-7 years | |
Furniture and fixtures | 3-5 years | |
Leasehold improvements | 3-10 years |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying amount of the Company’s short term financial instruments approximates fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.

Stock Issuance Costs
Stock issuance costs are capitalized as incurred. Upon the completion of the offering, the stock issuance costs are reclassified to equity. Offering costs recorded to equity for the six months ended July 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 and the one month ended January 31, 2014 were $321,194, $0 and $102,166, respectively.
Research and Development
Research and development is expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses for three months ended July 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 were $24,091 and $3,995, respectively. Research and development expenses for six months ended July 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 and the one month ended January 31, 2014 were $42,992, $7,138 and $8,477, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company classifies freight billed to customers as sales revenue and the related freight costs as cost of sales.
Revenue Recognition
The Company records revenue for products when all of the following have occurred: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) the product is delivered, (3) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability of the related customer receivable is reasonably assured. There is no stated right of return for products.
The Company meets these criteria upon shipment.
Expenses such as slotting fees, sales discounts, and allowances are accounted for as a direct reduction of revenues as follows:
Six Months Ended July 31, 2014 | Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 | One Month Ended January 31, 2014 | ||||||||||
Gross Sales | $ | 5,021,325 | $ | 3,716,948 | $ | 796,177 | ||||||
Less: Slotting, Discounts, Allowances | 188,408 | 244,396 | 20,925 | |||||||||
Net Sales | $ | 4,832,917 | $ | 3,472,552 | $ | 775,252 |
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales represents costs directly related to the production and manufacturing of the Company’s products. Costs include product development, freight, packaging, and print production costs.
Advertising
Costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising for the Company are charged to operations as incurred. Producing and communicating advertising expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 were $549,560 and $393,722, respectively. Producing and communicating advertising expenses for the six months ended July 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 and the one month ended January 31, 2014 were $1,265,859, $810,722 and $232,481, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“ASC 718”) which establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation. It defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. The Company accounts for compensation cost for stock option plans in accordance with ASC 718. The Company accounts for share-based payments to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50 “Accounting for Equity Instruments Issued to Non-Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods or Services”.
The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants, at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.
Share-based payments, excluding restricted stock, are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Grants of share-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered have been recorded at the fair value of the share-based payment, which is the more readily determinable value. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Stock-based compensation expenses are included in cost of goods sold or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the services provided, in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
For the three months ended July 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 share-based compensation amounted to $248,982 and $156,104, respectively. For the six months ended July 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 and the one month ended January 31, 2014 share-based compensation amounted to $348,081, $156,104 and $45,681, respectively. Of the $348,081 recorded for the six months ended July 31, 2014, $171,974 was a direct cost of a stock offering and has been recorded as a reduction in additional paid in capital.
For the six months ended July 31, 2014, when computing fair value of share-based payments, the Company has considered the following variables:
● | The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant. The risk free rate used had a range of 0.26%-1.76%. |
● | The Company has not paid any dividends on common stock since its inception and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. Therefore the expected dividend rate was 0%. |
● | The expected option term is computed using the “simplified” method as permitted under the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 110. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term. |
● | The warrant term is the life of the warrant. |

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss), adjusted for changes in income or loss that resulted from the assumed conversion of convertible shares, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.
The Company had the following potential common stock equivalents at July 31, 2014:
Common stock subscribed | 66,667 | |||
Common stock warrants, exercise price range of $1.00-$2.50 | 1,111,401 | |||
Common stock options, exercise price of $1.00-$2.97 | 564,404 | |||
Total common stock equivalents | 1,742,472 |
The Company had the following potential common stock equivalents at June 30, 2013:
Common stock subscribed | -- | |||
Common stock warrants, exercise price range of $1.00 | 505,400 | |||
Common stock options, exercise price of $1.00 | 491,404 | |||
Total common stock equivalents | 996,804 |
Since the Company reflected a net loss during the three and six months ended July 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, the effect of considering any common stock equivalents, would have been anti-dilutive. A separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided in accordance with ASC No. 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the period of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, in May 2014. The amendments in this Update supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. In addition, the amendments supersede the cost guidance in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, and create new Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers. In summary, the core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This Accounting Standards Update is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2011-230—Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2011–250—Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Codification Amendments, both of which have been deleted. Accounting Standards Update 2014-09. The amendments in this Update are effectively for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2014-09 on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-12, Compensation- Stock Compensation. The amendments in this update apply to reporting entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target can be achieved after the requisite service period. This Accounting Standards Update is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update EITF-13D—Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period, which has been deleted. The proposed amendments would apply to reporting entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period.

Forward Looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports (collectively, the “Filings”) filed by MamaMancini’s Holdings, Inc. (“MamaMancini’s” or the “Company”) from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks contained in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the SEC on March 20, 2014, relating to the Company’s industry, the Company’s operations and results of operations, and any businesses that the Company may acquire. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
Plan of Operation
The Company plans to increase its distribution of products into new retail outlets in 2014 and 2015. The Company has undertaken a national radio campaign on Sirius XM channels for a substantial portion of this year and also has commercials running on political talk radio. Social media activity has increased with Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, newsletter mailings, blogs, and helpful consumer content and special projects including a recipe bank of videos and MamaMancini’s contest and giveaways. Increased consumer merchandising activity, including virtual couponing, on-pack couponing, mail-in rebates, product demonstrations, and co-op retail advertising has commenced to increase sales to existing customers and new customers.
We believe that the ongoing introduction of the Company’s new line of “all natural” (with the exception of the Bolognese Sauce, which contains bacon) brand Slow Cooked Italian Sauce and various meatball and entrée products show great promise for additional product placements and sales in 2014 and thereafter. These products include Five Cheese Stuffed Meatballs, Chicken Parmigiana Style Stuffed Meatballs, Chicken Florentine Stuffed Meatballs, Gluten Free Beef and Turkey Meatballs, Antibiotic Free Beef and Turkey Meatballs, Mac n’ Mamas, and Orecchiette Pasta with Brocolli and Pork Meatballs. This line is available in bulk food service pack, retail packages in fresh and frozen varieties, and club store pack in fresh varieties. Additionally, the Company plans to continue expansion into various new retailers with placement of its existing “all natural” product line of Beef, Turkey, Pork and Chicken Meatballs and Sauce, as well as Marinara and Italian sauce with beef flavors.
5 |
The Company has key sales personnel and a sales network of broker representatives. Management continues to solicit all major supermarket retailers, club stores and mass market accounts. Additionally, the Company has begun an effort to develop presentations to major entities in the sandwich, burger, and Italian sub quick-serve industry through a fee based consultant. The Company is also soliciting business in Canada and the Caribbean.
The Company owns 13% of the common equity of Meatball Obsession and is its exclusive supplier of meatball products. Meatball Obsession offers a fast service menu of take-out meatball offerings. At present Meatball obsession has 4 locations. However, there is no guarantee that Meatball Obsession will perform up to its expectations or be able to open any more units in the future.
The Company has a five year supply agreement with a manufacturer (the “Manufacturer”) who is a related party. The manufacturer is owned by the CEO and president of the Company.
The Company increased its manufacturing source of supply in 2014 to meet an anticipated increased demand. Additions of high speed equipment and new production order flow have begun to occur. As sales increase, the Company expects that its packaging costs will decrease as it purchases longer runs of material and supplies but cannot guarantee that such packaging costs will decrease with the purchase of such materials or at all. The Company also expects that the labor costs component of the cost of goods sold will decrease in the later part of the year with higher speed equipment and order flow but cannot guarantee any such decrease in the labor costs.
The Company expects to have an operating loss in 2014 due to the investment in developing new and expanded business. These investments include slot fees to gain initial distribution, special marketing demo events to induce trial, major promotional campaigns for initial trial customers, short runs on new products, raising manufacturing costs, sample expenses, market research, design and label costs, product development costs, and the cost of additional personnel or fee based marketing and sales support while this new business is developing.
The Company is contemplating an acquisition of the Manufacturer. No assurances can be made that the Company will acquire the Manufacturer at any time.
The Company believes that MamaMancini’s products have the ability to grow into several areas of consumption by consumers such as frozen Italian specialties, frozen meat, fresh meat, prepared foods, hot bars, cold bars in delis, and sandwich sections of supermarkets and other retailers. In addition, the Company believes that MamaMancini’s products can be sold into food service channels, mass market, export or as a component of other products.

The following table sets forth the summary income statement for the three months ended July 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 (unaudited):

(1) | Slotting fees are required in new placements with some, but not a majority of supermarket chains that the Company does business with. They are negotiated with each chain depending upon the expected return to the Company. We believe that we have successfully negotiated such slotting fees to a relatively low expense.

We do not believe our size or financial limitations are an impediment to being able to pay such slotting fees. Slotting fee costs are an expense in growing the business as are other marketing and sales costs and the Company has accounted for these fees in assessing its estimated working capital for the next twelve months. |

The increase in sales is primarily related to the Company executing on their expansion strategy. The Company has sold into approximately 29,500 retail and grocery locations at July 31, 2014 as compared to approximately 17,000 at June 30, 2013. The Company commenced operations during 2010.
Gross Profit: The gross profit margin decreased by approximately 1% from 30% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to 29% for the three months ended July 31, 2014. This decrease is primarily attributable to a change in product mix.
Operating Expenses: Operating expenses increased by 13% during the three months ended July 31, 2014, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. The $159,503 increase in operating expenses is primarily attributable to the following approximate increases in operating expenses:
● | Stock-based compensation of $15,800 as a result of stock options expensed during the period; | |
● | Advertising and promotional expenses of $57,500 related to an increase in spending on our new radio advertising campaign and special promotions which does not include marketing and social media costs as discussed below and in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements; | |
● | Commission expenses of $23,600 related to increased sales; | |
● | Postage and freight of $55,900 due to higher sales slightly offset by some customers picking up their product in lieu of having it shipped to them; | |
● | Depreciation expense of $38,200 due to new fixed asset purchases during the period; | |
● | Amortization expense of $4,300 related to the closing costs incurred on the Company’s line of credit; | |

● | Product development costs increased by $20,100 due to the Company expanding its line of products. |
7 |
These expense increases were offset by decreases in the following expenses:
● | Professional fees of $11,800 due to a decrease in legal expenses and professional fees which were offset by an increase in fees to an investment banker and financial consultants related to equity raises; | |
● | Trade show and travel expenses of $28,700 related to the members of the Company traveling and attending less trade shows; | |
● | Royalties of $9,900 related to a graduated decrease in percentage of sales as sales increase awarded according to royalty agreement; and | |
● | Payroll and related expense of $44,600 as compensation to a reduction in executive sales personnel. |
Other Income (Expense): Other expenses increased by $25,200 to $(26,710) for the three months ended July 31, 2014 as compared to $(1,525) during the three months ended June 30, 2013. For the three months ended July 31, 2014, other expenses consisted of $26,710 in interest expense incurred on the Company’s line of credit resulting from the FGI agreement signed in January 2014. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, other expenses consisted of $1,525 in interest expense incurred on the Company’s line of credit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table summarizes total current assets, liabilities and working capital at July 31, 2014 compared to January 31, 2014:
Period Ended | ||||||||||||
July 31, 2014 (unaudited) | January 31, 2014 | Increase/(Decrease) | ||||||||||
Current Assets | $ | 3,780,123 | $ | 4,244,648 | $ | (464,525 | ) | |||||
Current Liabilities | $ | 711,194 | $ | 818,001 | $ | (106,807 | ) | |||||
Working Capital | $ | 3,068,929 | $ | 3,426,647 | $ | (357,718 | ) |
As of July 31, 2014, we had working capital of $3,068,929 as compared to working capital of $3,426,647 as of January 31, 2014, a decrease of $357,718. The decrease in working capital is primarily attributable to an increase in accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, deposit with related party manufacturer which is offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and a decrease in the outstanding line of credit balance offset by a decrease in cash and a decrease in receivable from related party. During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the Company raised net proceeds of the $1,030,790 from the sale of 1,620,001 shares of common stock and received proceeds of $100,000 for common stock subscribed.
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended July 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 was $2,390,068 and $1,571,870, respectively. The net loss for the six months ended July 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 was $1,494,287 and $1,364,460, respectively.
Net cash used in all investing activities for the six months ended July 31, 2014 was $223,741 as compared to $402,037 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. During the six months ended July 31, 2014, the Company paid approximately $223,700 to acquire new machinery and equipment. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company paid $77,000 for the purchase of new machinery and equipment, $295,000 for the acquisition of a company and $30,000 for a loan to a related party.
10 |
Net cash provided by all financing activities for six months ended July 31, 2014 was $1,186,943 as compared to $150,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. During the six months ended July 31, 2014 the Company raised net proceeds of $1,030,790 from the sale of 1,620,001 shares of common stock and $100,000 for common stock subscribed and net borrowings of $70,637 for transactions pursuant to the line of credit agreement which were offset by $14,484 paid for debt issuance costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company had net borrowings of $150,000 for transactions pursuant to the line of credit agreement.
The Company believes that our existing available cash along with estimated net proceeds from the issuance of securities during January 2014 and the six months ended July 31, 2014 in addition to the line of credit entered into in January 2014 will enable the Company to meet the working capital requirements for at least 12 months. The estimated working capital requirement for the next 12 months is approximately $2,000,000 which equates to an estimated burn rate of $167,000 per month. The Company continues to explore potential expansion opportunities in the industry in order to boost sales while leveraging distribution systems to consolidate lower costs.
As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has a net loss and net cash used in operations of $1,494,287 and $2,390,068, respectively, for the six months ended July 31, 2014.
The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on Management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The Company may need to incur additional liabilities with certain related parties to sustain the Company’s existence.
The Company may require additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. In that event, the Company would be required to change its growth strategy and seek funding on that basis, though there is no guarantee it will be able to do so.
During the month ended January 31, 2014 and the six months ended July 31, 2014, Management raised capital through equity financings. The Company intends to utilize the capital in order to further advertise and market the Company’s brand and to assist in penetrating additional distribution channels.

In addition, the amendments supersede the cost guidance in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, and create new Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers. In summary, the core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This Accounting Standards Update is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2011-230—Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2011–250—Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Codification Amendments, both of which have been deleted. Accounting Standards Update 2014-09. The amendments in this Update are effectively for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2014-09 on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-12, Compensation- Stock Compensation. The amendments in this update apply to reporting entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target can be achieved after the requisite service period. This Accounting Standards Update is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update EITF-13D—Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period, which has been deleted. The proposed amendments would apply to reporting entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. This Accounting Standards Update is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update EITF-13D—Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period, which has been deleted. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2014-12 on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our condensed consolidated financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
11 |
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 of our condensed consolidated financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact our financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
We believe the following critical accounting policies and procedures, among others, affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions impact, among others, the following: allowance for bad debt, inventory obsolescence, the fair value of share-based payments.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from our estimates.
Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” established financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation. It defines a fair value based method of accounting for an employee stock option or similar equity instrument. The Company accounts for compensation cost for stock option plans in accordance with ASC 718. The Company accounts for share based payments to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50 “Accounting for Equity Instruments Issued to Non-Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”.
The Company recognizes all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants, at their fair value on the grant date, which are based on the estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest.
Share-based payments, excluding restricted stock, are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Share-based payment awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable. The grants are amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which is generally the vesting period. If an award is granted, but vesting does not occur, any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed in the period related to the termination of service. Stock-based compensation expenses are included in cost of goods sold or selling, general and administrative expenses, depending on the nature of the services provided, in the condensed consolidated Statement of Operations.
12 |
When computing fair value of share-based payments, the Company has considered the following variables:
● | The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant. |
● | The Company has not paid any dividends on common stock since its inception and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. |
● | The expected option term is computed using the “simplified” method as permitted under the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 110. |
● | The warrant term is the life of the warrant. |
● | The expected volatility was benchmarked against similar companies in a similar industry. |
● | The forfeiture rate is based on the historical forfeiture rate for the Company’s unvested stock options, which was 0%. |
Revenue Recognition - The Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 for revenue recognition and records revenue when all of the following have occurred: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) the product is delivered, (3) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability of the related customer receivable is reasonably assured. There is no stated right of return for products. Sales are recognized upon shipment of products to customers.
Advertising - Costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising for the Company are charged to operations as incurred.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Section 2. LOANS AND ADVANCES; INTEREST RATE AND OTHER CHARGES
2.1. Loans. Whenever the Borrower makes a request (but not more frequently than twice a week unless Lender consents), Lender shall make loans, advances and/or extend credit to or for the Borrower; but Lender shall not be obligated to make loans, advances and/or extend credit beyond the Total Facility set forth herein and in the Loan Schedule and subject to deduction of any loan reserves (“Loan Reserves”) Lender deems proper from time to time in its reasonable business discretion, and less amounts Lender may be obligated to pay in the future on behalf of Borrower. Advances under the Total Facility (“Loans” and individually, a “Loan”) shall be comprised of the amounts shown on the Loan Schedule. Loan Reserves shall include, but not be limited to, the amount of accrued rebates set forth on the Accrued Rebate Report.

Borrower shall pay principal, interest, and all other amounts payable hereunder, or under any other Loan Document, without any deduction whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any deduction for any setoff or counterclaim. In no event shall the Revolving Interest Rate, Term Interest Rate or the Default Rate of Interest exceed the highest rate permitted under any applicable law or regulation. If any part or provision of this Agreement is in contravention of any such law or regulation, such part or provision shall be deemed amended to conform thereto, and any payment of interest and fees which individually or collectively might be deemed to be in excess of the highest rate permitted by law shall be credited against Borrower’s Obligations as principal repayments of loans and advances made hereunder, to the extent of such excess.
Page 4 of 22 |
2.3 Overlines; Overadvances. If at any time or for any reason the outstanding amount of advances extended or issued pursuant hereto exceeds any of the dollar limitations (“Overline”) or percentage limitations (“Overadvance”) in the Loan Schedule on any day in any month, then Borrower shall, upon Lender’s demand, promptly pay to Lender, in cash, the full amount of such Overline or Overadvance which would be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loans or any other Obligations. Without limiting Borrower’s obligation to repay to Lender the amount of any Overline or Overadvance, Borrower agrees to pay Lender interest on the outstanding principal amount of any Overline or Overadvance, at the rate set forth on the Loan Schedule, whether any such Overline or Overadvance is made with or without Lender’s knowledge or consent.
2.4. (a) Establishment of a Lockbox Account or Dominion Account. Borrower shall cause all proceeds of Collateral to be remitted directly to Lender by instructing its Account Debtors to direct their payments as follows:
Name of Borrower
Accounting Department
505 Park Avenue, 6th Floor
New York, NY 10022
(b) Lender may, at any time and from time to time, direct Borrower to collect and deliver to Lender in their original form, within two (2) business days of the actual receipt thereof, all checks, drafts, notes, acceptances, cash, wire transfers and any other evidences of payment, and/or direct Borrower to cause all proceeds of Collateral to be deposited into a lock box account or other blocked account as Lender may require or take any other action Lender may reasonably request.
2.5. Clearance or Float Days. In computing interest on the Obligations, all checks, wire transfers and other items of payment received by Lender (including proceeds of Accounts and payment of the Obligations in full) shall be deemed applied by Lender on account of the Obligations on the day such payment is received or, if received after 12noon New York, NY time, the next business day. However, Lender shall be entitled to charge Borrower’s account four (4) business days of “clearance” or “float” at the Revolving Interest Rate set forth in the Loan Schedule, on all checks, wire transfers and other items received by Lender, regardless of whether such four (4) business days of clearance or float actually occur, and such charge shall be deemed to be the equivalent of charging four (4) business days of interest on such payments and/or collections. The four (4) business days clearance or float charge on all payments and collections is acknowledged by the parties to constitute an integral aspect of the pricing of Lender’s financing to Borrower. Lender shall not, however, be required to credit Borrower’s account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Lender, in Lenders reasonable business discretion, and Lender may charge Borrower’s loan account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned to Lender unpaid.
2.6. Application of Collateral and Payments. Except as otherwise provided herein, Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and re-apply any and all payments to any portion of the Obligations in such order and manner as Lender shall determine in its reasonable business discretion.

Without limiting the foregoing, Lender may request and Borrower shall assign and deliver to Lender, original invoices and supporting documentation as may be reasonably requested by Lender, on invoices with a face amount of $5,000 or more.
Section 4. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
Borrower hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Lender the following (which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement), the truth and accuracy of which, and continuing compliance with, being a continuing condition of the making of all loans and advances hereunder by Lender or under any supplement or amendment hereto:
4.1. Owner of Collateral; Validity of Accounts.
(a) Borrower is and shall be the owner of or has other rights in the Collateral free and clear of all liens, security interests, claims and encumbrances of every kind and nature, except in Lender’s favor or as otherwise consented to in writing by Lender, and Borrower shall indemnify and defend Lender from and against all cost, loss and expense with regard to the same. None of Borrower’s Accounts has been previously sold or assigned to any Person and will not be sold or assigned, other than to Lender, at any time during the term of this Agreement without first obtaining Lender’s consent in writing. Borrower shall not execute any security agreement in favor of any other party or borrow against the security of any corporate asset, including but not limited to the Collateral, or authorize and Person other than Lender to file UCC financing statements naming Borrower as Debtor, without first obtaining Lender’s consent in writing.
(b) Each Account represents a valid and legally enforceable indebtedness based upon a bona fide sale and delivery of goods or rendition of services usually dealt in by Borrower in the ordinary course of its business which has been finally accepted by the Account Debtor. Each Account is and will be for a liquidated amount maturing as stated in the invoice rendered to the Account Debtor who is unconditionally liable to make payment at maturity of the amount stated in each invoice, document or instrument evidencing the Account in accordance with the terms thereof, without offset, defense, deduction, counterclaim, discount or condition. Every assigned Account and any evidence of indebtedness with respect thereto shall be paid in full at maturity. If any Account is not paid in full at maturity, the amount of such unpaid Account (whether in whole or in part) may be charged against and deducted from any advance then or thereafter made by Lender to Borrower or, in the event Borrower then has no borrowing availability, Borrower shall pay Lender, upon demand, the full amount remaining unpaid thereon. Such payment or deduction shall not constitute a reassignment, and Lender may retain the Account as collateral for all Obligations of Borrower to Lender until the same have been fully satisfied.
(c) All statements made and all unpaid balances appearing in the invoices, documents and instruments evidencing each Account are true and correct and are in all material respects what they purport to be and all signatures and endorsements that appear thereon are genuine and all signatories and endorsers have full capacity to contract. To the actual knowledge of the Borrower, each Account Debtor is solvent and financially able to pay in full each Account when it matures. None of the transactions underlying or giving rise to any Account shall violate any state or federal laws or regulations, and all documents relating to the Accounts shall be legally sufficient under such laws or regulations and shall be legally enforceable in accordance with their terms and all recording, filing and other requirements of giving public notice under any applicable law have been and shall be duly complied with.

(d) Without first obtaining Lender’s consent in writing Borrower will not directly or indirectly sell, lease, transfer, abandon or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Collateral (except in the ordinary course of business) or consolidate or merge with or into any other entity or permit any other entity to consolidate or merge with or into Borrower.
(e) All of the information provided by the Borrower to the Lender pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise is true, correct and complete in all material respects.
(f) To the extent that a security interest can be granted by the filing of a UCC with the Secretary of State of the state of incorporation of the Borrower, the Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral subject to no other security interest, lien or claim, except as otherwise consented to by Lender.

No contract, lease or other agreement or instrument has been entered into by Borrower or has become binding upon Borrower’s assets and, to Borrower’s actual knowledge, no law or regulation applicable to Borrower has been adopted that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower is not in default and to the best of Borrower’s actual knowledge no third party is in default under any material contract, lease or other agreement or instrument, that alone or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Borrower shall duly pay and discharge all taxes, assessments, contributions and governmental charges upon or against it or its properties or assets prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto. Borrower shall be liable for all taxes and penalties imposed upon any transaction under this Agreement or any supplement or amendment hereto or giving rise to the Accounts or any other Collateral or which Lender may be required to withhold or pay for any reason. Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless with respect thereto, and to repay to Lender on demand the amount thereof, and until paid by Borrower such amounts shall be added to and included in Borrower’s Obligations.
4.7. Litigation.

In the event payments of Accounts or other monies or property in which Lender has an interest are delivered to or received by Borrower, including proceeds from the sale of Collateral in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business, unless otherwise consented to in writing by Lender or specifically permitted under Section 2.4 herein, Borrower shall hold all such remittances and proceeds of Accounts and other Collateral, in trust for Lender. Borrower shall deliver all such payments to Lender, in kind with an appropriate endorsement to Lender, within two (2) business days following the date of receipt by Borrower; provided, however, nothing herein authorizes Borrower to collect the Accounts unless specifically consented to by Lender.
4.10. Further Acts. Borrower shall, at Borrower’s expense, duly execute and deliver, or shall cause to be duly executed and delivered, such further agreements, instruments and documents, including, without limitation, additional security agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt, collateral assignments, UCC financing statements or amendments and continuations thereof, landlord’s or mortgagee’s waivers of liens and consents to the exercise by Lender of all of its rights and remedies hereunder, under any supplement or amendment hereto, or applicable law with respect to the Collateral. In addition, Borrower shall do or cause to be done such further acts as may be necessary or proper, in Lender’s opinion, to evidence, perfect, maintain and enforce its security interest and the priority thereof in and to the Collateral and to otherwise effect the provisions and purposes of this Agreement or any supplement or amendment hereto.

On or before the Closing Date, but in no event promptly thereafter, Borrower shall have Lender named as mortgagee, lender’s loss payee and additional insured on all such insurance policies. In the event Borrower shall fail to maintain insurance acceptable to Lender, Lender without notice, may obtain such insurance in the name of the Borrower and charge Borrower’s account with the costs and expenses of such insurance. All expenses incurred by Lender with regard to such insurance policies shall be deemed to be part of the Obligations.
(b) Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender (or cause to be executed and delivered to Lender) assignments of life insurance on the life of Carl Wolf, in such amounts as are in place on the date hereof, together with a copy of the life insurance policy(ies) covered thereby. Borrower represents to Lender that on the Closing Date, the life insurance policy in place to be assigned to Lender is in the amount of $1,200,000, which is acceptable to Lender. Borrower shall also, at Borrower’s expense, ensure such life insurance policy(ies) remain in effect and fully paid. In the event Borrower shall fail to maintain (or cause to be maintained), such life insurance policy(ies), Lender may, without notice, pay all premiums and other charges and fees due on such life insurance policy(ies) and charge Borrower’s account with the costs and expenses of maintaining such life insurance policy(ies). All expenses incurred by Lender with regard to maintaining such life insurance policy(ies) shall be deemed to be part of the Obligations.

Borrower does not own any Margin Stock, and none of the proceeds of the Loans or other extensions of credit under this Agreement will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness that was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or for any other purpose that might cause any of the Loans or other extensions of credit under this Agreement to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board. Borrower will not take or permit to be taken any action that might cause any Loan Document to violate any regulation of the Federal Reserve Board.

The liens granted to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents will at all times be fully perfected first priority liens in and to the Collateral described therein.
4.16 Notices. Borrower will deliver to Lender:

5.1. Power of Attorney. Borrower appoints Lender and Lender’s designees as Borrower’s attorney and attorney-in-fact, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, and Lender may exercise at any time, in Lender’s reasonable business discretion, all or any of the following powers. The Borrower acknowledges that this power of attorney is coupled with an interest, in that the Lender has an interest in the Collateral, and that as a result, in addition to any other consequences under law, this power is irrevocable until all Obligations have been paid in full and Lender’s obligation to provide loans hereunder shall have terminated.

In case any such goods shall be re-sold, the Account thereby created shall be Lender’s property and shall be deemed assigned hereunder.

In the event Lender seeks to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral by judicial process (including, but not limited to, Lender obtaining an order of attachment, a temporary restraining order, a preliminary or permanent injunction or otherwise) against the Borrower or with regard to the Collateral, Borrower irrevocably waives the posting of any bond, surety or security with respect thereto which might otherwise be required, any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit or action to recover the Collateral, and any requirement that Lender retain possession and not dispose of any Collateral until after trial or final judgment.
(d) Lender shall have the right in such manner and upon such terms as Lender shall determine in Lender’s reasonable business discretion, to enforce payment of any Collateral, to settle, compromise or release in whole or in part, any amounts owing on any Collateral, to prosecute any action, suit or proceeding with respect to the Collateral, to extend the time of payment of any and all Collateral, to make allowances and adjustments with respect thereto, to issue credits in Lender’s or Borrower’s name, to sell, assign and deliver the Collateral (or any part thereof) at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit or otherwise at Lender’s sole option and discretion, and Lender may bid or become purchaser at any such sale, free from any right of redemption which is hereby expressly waived. Borrower agrees that Lender has no obligation to preserve rights to the Collateral or marshall any Collateral for the benefit of any Person. Lender may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral and may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like without affecting the commercial reasonableness of the sale of any of the Collateral. Lender is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks and advertising matter, or any similar property, in completing production, advertising or selling any Collateral and Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Lender’s benefit. Borrower agrees that the giving of five (5) days’ notice by Lender, sent by ordinary mail, postage prepaid, to Borrower’s address set forth herein, designating the place and time of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of the Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice thereof and Borrower waives any other notice with respect thereto.
(e) The net cash proceeds, after deducting all costs and expenses of sale (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other professional fees), resulting from the exercise of any of Lender’s rights or remedies under this Agreement, the UCC or other applicable law, shall be applied by Lender to the payment of the Obligations in such order as Lender may elect, in Lender’s sole discretion. Lender shall return any excess to Borrower and Borrower shall remain liable to Lender for any deficiency, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Lender enters into any credit transaction, directly or indirectly, in connection with the disposition of any Collateral, Lender shall have the option, at any time, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, to reduce the Obligations by the amount of such credit transaction or any part thereof or to defer the reduction thereof until actual receipt by Lender of cash in connection therewith.
(f) The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exclusive, and such rights and remedies are in addition to and not by way of limitation of any other rights or remedies Lender may have under the UCC or other applicable law. Lender shall have the right, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, to determine which rights and remedies, and in which order any of the same, are to be exercised, and to determine which Collateral is to be proceeded against and in which order, and the exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any others, all of which shall be cumulative.
(g) No act, failure or delay by Lender shall constitute a waiver of any of its rights or remedies. No single or partial waiver by Lender of any provision of this Agreement or any supplement or amendment hereto, or breach or default thereunder, or of any right or remedy which Lender may have shall operate as a waiver of any other provision, breach, default, right or remedy or of the same provision, breach, default, right or remedy on a future occasion.

(h) Borrower waives presentment, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of protest of all instruments included in or evidencing any of the Obligations or the Collateral and any and all notices or demands whatsoever (except as expressly provided herein). Lender may, at all times, proceed directly against Borrower or any guarantor or endorser to enforce payment of the Obligations and shall not be required to take any action of any kind to preserve, collect or protect Lender’s or Borrower’s rights in the Collateral.
SECTION 7. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED
Section 8. MISCELLANEOUS
8.1. Term. This Agreement shall become effective upon acceptance by Lender and shall continue in full force and effect for a term ending on the last business day of the month, two (2) years from the date hereof and shall automatically renew on the following day (the “Renewal Date”) from year to year thereafter until terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. In addition to Lender’s right to declare this Agreement immediately terminated at any time upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may terminate this Agreement on the Renewal Date or on the anniversary of the Renewal Date in any year by giving Borrower at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of such termination by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested (the “Lender’s Termination Notice”) and thereafter all of the Obligations hereunder shall be payable in full on the Renewal Date or such anniversary of the Renewal Date. Borrower may terminate this Agreement on the Renewal Date or on the anniversary of the Renewal Date in any year or at any time by giving Lender at least sixty (60) days prior written notice of such termination by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested (the “Borrower’s Termination Notice”). No termination of this Agreement, however, shall relieve or discharge Borrower of Borrower’s duties, obligations and covenants hereunder until all Obligations have been paid in full and Lender’s continuing security interest in and to the Collateral shall remain in effect until all such Obligations have been fully discharged. From and after the Renewal Date or anniversary of the Renewal Date selected for termination under this Agreement in either a Borrower’s Termination Notice or Lender’s Termination Notice, Lender’s Obligation to make loans, advances and/or extend credit to or for the Borrower shall cease. A Borrower’s Termination Notice shall be irrevocable unless the Lender consents to such revocation in its sole discretion.
8.2. Early Termination Fee. If Lender terminates this Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or if Borrower terminates this Agreement as to future transactions other than on the Renewal Date or any anniversary of the Renewal Date, in view of the impracticality and extreme difficulty in ascertaining Lender’s actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of Lender’s lost profits as a result thereof, Borrower hereby agrees that it shall immediately pay to Lender by wire transfer, certified check or bank cashier’s check, Borrower’s entire Obligations owing thereunder, plus liquidated damages of an amount equal to the total of the Minimum Interest Charges for the number of months remaining until the Renewal Date or the next anniversary thereof as provided for in this Agreement. Prior to its actual receipt of payment as aforesaid, Lender shall be free to exercise, without limitation, all of its right under this Agreement or under any other agreement it may then have with Borrower. Borrower’s default of any provision under this Agreement may be considered and construed at the sole but reasonable option of Lender, as a termination of this Agreement by Borrower. The liquidated damages provided for in this Section shall be deemed included in the Obligations and shall be presumed to be the amount of damages sustained by Lender due to the Borrower’s early termination and Borrower agrees that such damages are reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances currently existing.
Page 17 of 22 |
8.3. One General Obligation; Cross Collateral. All Loans and advances by Lender to Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and under all other agreements, present and future, between Lender and Borrower constitute one loan, and all indebtedness and obligations of Borrower to Lender under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and under all other agreements, present and future, between Lender and Borrower, constitute one general obligation secured by the Collateral and security held and to be held by Lender hereunder and by virtue of all other agreements between Borrower (and all guarantors) and Lender now and hereafter existing. It is distinctly understood and agreed that all of the rights of Lender contained in this Agreement shall likewise apply insofar as applicable to any modification of or supplement to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and to any other agreements, present and future, between Lender and Borrower.
8.4. Binding on Successor and Assigns; Severability. All terms, conditions, promises, covenants, provisions and warranties shall inure to the benefit of and bind Lender’s and Borrower’s respective representatives, successors and assigns. If any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited or invalid under applicable law, it shall be ineffective only to such extent, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement.
8.5. Amendments; Assignments. This Agreement may not be modified, altered or amended, except by an agreement in writing signed by Borrower and Lender, which requirement shall not be modified by oral agreement or by course of conduct. Borrower may not sell, assign or transfer any interest in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, any of Borrower’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers and duties hereunder or thereunder. Borrower hereby consents to Lender’s participation, sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition, at any time or times hereafter, of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, or of any portion hereof or thereof, including, without limitation, Lender’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers and duties hereunder or thereunder. In connection therewith, Lender may disclose all documents and information which Lender now or hereafter may have relating to Borrower or Borrower’s business. To the extent that Lender assigns its rights and obligations hereunder to a third party, Lender shall thereafter be released from such assigned obligations to Borrower and such assignment shall effect a novation between Borrower and such third party.
8.6. Integration; Survival. This Agreement, together with the Loan Schedule (which is a part hereof) and the other Loan Documents, reflect the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. All of the representations and warranties of Borrower contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution, delivery and acceptance of this Agreement by the parties. No termination of this Agreement (or of any guaranty) of the Obligations shall affect or impair the powers, obligations, duties, rights, representations, warranties or liabilities of the parties hereto and all shall survive such termination.
8.7. Evidence of Obligations. Each Obligation may, in Lender’s discretion, be evidenced by notes or other instruments issued or made by Borrower to Lender. If not so evidenced, such Obligation shall be evidenced solely by entries upon Lender’s books and records which records shall, subject to the time period for review and objection set forth in Section 2.7, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

8.8. Loan Requests. Each oral or written request for an advance by any Person who purports to be any employee, officer or authorized agent of Borrower shall be made to Lender on or prior to 11:00 a.m., NY time, on the business day on which the proceeds thereof are requested to be paid to Borrower and shall be conclusively presumed to be made by a Person authorized by Borrower to do so and the crediting of a loan to Borrower’s operating account shall conclusively establish Borrower’s obligation to repay such loan. Lender shall have the right but not the obligation to require written confirmation. Unless and until Borrower otherwise directs Lender in writing, all loans shall be wired to Borrower’s operating account set forth on the Loan Schedule.
8.9 Brokerage Fees. Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that, with respect to the financing transaction herein contemplated, no Person is entitled to any brokerage fee or other commission and Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless against any and all such claims.
8.10 Application of Insurance Proceeds. The net proceeds of any casualty insurance insuring the Collateral, after deducting all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of collection, shall be applied, at Lender’s option, either toward replacing or restoring the Collateral, in a manner and on terms satisfactory to Lender, or toward payment of the Obligations. Any proceeds applied to the payment of Obligations shall be applied in such manner as Lender may elect. In no event shall such application relieve Borrower from payment in full of all installments of principal and interest which thereafter become due in the order of maturity thereof or with respect to the payment of fees and costs.
8.11. Intentionally Omitted.
8.12. Notices, Correspondence. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and will be personally served, telecopied or sent by overnight courier service or United States mail and will be deemed to have been given: (i) if delivered in person, when delivered; (ii) if delivered by telecopy, on the date of transmission if transmitted on a business day before 4:00 p.m. New York time or, if not, on the next succeeding business day; (iii) if delivered by overnight courier, the following business day after depositing with such courier, properly addressed; or (iv) if by U.S. Mail, four (4) business days after depositing in the United States mail, with postage prepaid and properly addressed.

If any part or provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or in contravention of any applicable law or regulation of the controlling jurisdiction, such part or provision shall be severed without affecting the validity of any other part or provision of this Agreement.
8.14. Survival. All warranties, representations, and covenants made by Borrower herein, or in any agreement referred to herein or on any certificate, document or other instrument delivered by it or on its behalf under this Agreement, shall be considered to have been relied upon by Lender, and shall survive the delivery to Lender of the Loan Documents, regardless of any investigation made by Lender or on its behalf. All statements in any such certificate or other instrument prepared and/or delivered for the benefit of Lender shall constitute warranties and representations by Borrower hereunder. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all covenants made by Borrower hereunder or under any other agreement or instrument shall be deemed continuing until all Obligations are satisfied in full.

(a) Borrower releases and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender and its affiliates and their respective officers, employees and agents, of and from any claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, judgments, injuries, losses, damages and Costs and Expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees) resulting from (i) acts or conduct of Borrower under, pursuant or related to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) Borrower’s breach or violation of any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (iii) Borrower’s failure to comply with any requirement of law , and (iv) any claim by any other creditor of Borrower against Lender or its affiliates arising out of any transaction whether hereunder or in any way related to the Loan Documents and all costs, expenses, fines, penalties or other damages resulting therefrom, unless resulting solely from acts or conduct of Lender or its affiliates constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence.

The omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under such subsection only if the indemnifying party is unable to defend such actions as a result of such failure to so notify. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnified party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.

Within twenty (20) days after such mailing, Borrower shall appear and answer such summons, complaint or other process, failing which Borrower shall be deemed in default and judgment may be entered by Lender against Borrower for the amount of the claim and for any other relief requested therein.

In calculating interest and applying payments as set forth above: (a) interest shall be calculated and collected through the date a payment is actually applied by Lender under the terms of this Note; (b) interest on the outstanding balance shall be charged during any grace period permitted hereunder; (c) at the end of each month, all accrued and unpaid interest and other charges provided for hereunder shall be added to the then outstanding Principal Amount; and (d) to the extent that Borrower makes a payment or Lender receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for Borrower’s benefit that is subsequently invalidated, set aside or required to be repaid to any other Person, then, to such extent, the Obligations intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender and Lender may adjust the Loan balances as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems appropriate under the circumstances.

Page 2 of 5 |
5.2 Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, in addition to Lender’s right to charge interest on the Obligations at the Default Rate: (a) at the option of Lender, the entire unpaid amount of all of the Obligations, shall become immediately due and payable without demand, notice or legal process of any kind; (b) Lender may, at its option, without demand, notice or legal process of any kind, exercise any and all rights and remedies granted to it by any other agreement now or hereafter existing between Lender and Borrower or between Lender and any guarantor of part or all of Borrower’s liabilities to Lender; and (c) Lender may at its option exercise from time to time any other rights and remedies available to it under the Uniform Commercial Code or other law of the State of New York.
5.3 The remedies of Lender as provided herein shall be cumulative and concurrent, and may be pursued singularly, successively, or together, at the sole discretion of Lender. No act of omission or commission of Lender, including specifically any failure to exercise any right, remedy or recourse, shall be deemed to be a waiver or release of the same, such waiver or release to be effected only through a written document executed by Lender and then only to the extent specifically recited therein. A waiver or release with reference to any one event shall not be construed as continuing, as a bar to, or as a waiver or release of, any subsequent right, remedy or recourse as to a subsequent event.
6.0 General Provisions.
6.1 Borrower warrants and represents to Lender that Borrower has used and will continue to use the loans and advances represented by this Note solely for proper business purposes, and consistent with all applicable laws and statutes.
6.2 Borrower waives presentment, demand and protest, notice of protest, notice of presentment and all other notices and demands in connection with the enforcement of Lender’s rights hereunder, except as specifically provided and called for by this Note, and hereby consents to, and waives notice of, the release, addition, or substitution, with or without consideration, of any collateral or of any person liable for payment of this Note. Any failure of Lender to exercise any right available hereunder or otherwise shall not be construed as a waiver of the right to exercise the same or as a waiver of any other right at any other time.
6.3 If this Note is not paid when due or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower further promises to pay all costs of collection, foreclosure fees, reasonable attorneys fees and reasonable expert witness fees incurred by Lender, whether or not suit is filed hereon.
6.4 One General Obligation; Cross Collateral. All loans and advances by Lender to Borrower under this Note, the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents and under all other agreements constitute one loan, and all indebtedness and obligations of Borrower to Lender under this Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, present and future, constitute one general obligation secured by the Collateral and security held and to be held by Lender hereunder and by virtue of all other agreements between Borrower (and all guarantors) and Lender now and hereafter existing. It is distinctly understood and agreed that all of the rights of Lender contained in this Note shall likewise apply insofar as applicable to any modification of or supplement to this Note, the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents and to any other agreements, present and future, between Lender and Borrower.
Page 3 of 5 |
6.5 It is the intent of the parties to comply with the usury law of the State of New York (the “Applicable Usury Law”). Accordingly, it is agreed that notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in this Note, or in any of the documents securing payment hereof or otherwise relating hereto, in no event shall this Note or such documents require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum Interest Rate, then in any such event (1) the provisions of the paragraph shall govern and control, (2) neither Borrower nor any other person or entity now or hereafter liable for the payment hereof shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the Maximum Interest Rate, (3) any such excess which may have been collected shall be either applied as a credit against the then unpaid principal amount hereof or refunded to Borrower, at Lender’s option, and (4) the effective rate of interest shall be automatically reduced to the Maximum Interest Rate. It is further agreed, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, that to the extent permitted by the Applicable Usury Law; (x) all calculations of interest which are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate would exceed the Maximum Interest Rate shall be made by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading during the period of the full stated term of the loan evidenced hereby, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from Borrower or otherwise in connection with such loan; and (y) in the event that the effective rate of interest on the loan should at any time exceed the Maximum Interest Rate, such excess interest that would otherwise have been collected had there been no ceiling imposed by the Applicable Usury Law shall be paid to Lender from time to time, if and when the effective interest rate on the loan otherwise fall below the Maximum Interest Rate, until the entire amount of interest which would otherwise have been collected had there been no ceiling imposed by the Applicable Usury Law has been paid in full. Borrower further agrees that should the Maximum Interest Rate be increased at any time hereafter because of a change in the Applicable Usury Law, then to the extent not prohibited by the Applicable Usury Law, such increases shall apply to all indebtedness evidenced hereby regardless of when incurred; but, again to the extent not prohibited by the Applicable Usury Law, should the maximum Interest Rate be decreased because of a change in the Applicable Usury Law, such decreases shall not apply to the indebtedness evidenced hereby regardless of when incurred.
6.6 Lender may at any time transfer this Note and Lender’s rights in any or all Collateral securing this Note, and Lender thereafter shall be relieved from all liability with respect to such Collateral arising after the date of such transfer.
