Organization and Nature of Business, and Basis of Presentation

 

iSatori, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware on June 29, 2012. The trading symbol of the Company on OTCQB is “IFIT”.

 

The Company is engaged in researching, designing, developing, contracting for the manufacture, marketing, selling and distributing of various branded nutritional and dietary supplement products for the general nutrition market. The “general nutrition market” may include such activities as body-building, weight-training, physique enhancement (e.g., increase of lean body mass and decrease in fat mass) and enhanced athletic performance through increased strength and/or endurance and proper nutrition.

 

The Company engages in funding clinical studies with the objective of discovering and/or validating claims of new, efficacious and safe products for the Company’s relevant market as well as providing necessary and appropriate substantiation for any claims which the Company may use in its marketing and advertising. The Company markets products which are under its control and which are in some way proprietary to the Company. Some of the Company’s products are the subject of patents, service marks and or trademarks owned by the Company.

Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments

 

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Accordingly, cash and cash equivalents consist of petty cash, checking accounts and money market funds.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

 

ASC 820-10 establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities and requires additional disclosure about fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal (or most advantageous market) for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

 

The Company has a number of financial instruments, including cash, cash equivalents, receivables, inventory, payables and debt obligations. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes payable approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. As further described in Note 7, the Company has issued warrants which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and result in a long-term derivative liability on the balance sheet

Trade Receivables and Credit Policy

Trade Receivables and Credit Policy

 

Trade receivables are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment generally within 10-60 days from the invoice date. Accounts are considered delinquent when outstanding for more than 7 days past due date. The Company does not have a policy of accruing interest on past due accounts. Payments on trade receivables are applied as instructed per the customer, or to the earliest unpaid invoices. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents an estimate of amounts considered uncollectible and is determined based on management’s historical collection experience, adverse situations that may affect the customer’s ability to repay, and prevailing economic conditions. Specific accounts deemed uncollectible are written off periodically with subsequent receipts on previously written off accounts credited to bad debt expense.

Inventory Valuation

Inventory Valuation

 

Inventories of nutritional and dietary supplements are stated at lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company operates predominantly as a distributor of its dietary supplement products through traditional large retailers, wholesale distributors, and electronic intermediaries. Revenue from product sales is recognized upon transfer of title of the Company’s product to its customers. Net sales represent product sales less actual returns, trade allowances, discounts, and product promotions. Sales to direct customers have an unconditional money back guarantee for thirty to ninety days after the date of purchase. Sales to a select number of the retail customers carry a “Sale or Return” Purchase agreement per contract, where if minimum sales thresholds are not met within required timeframe, the inventory will be returned to the Company for full credit. Other retail customers receive a percentage discount from invoice to cover any customer returns or damages they may incur. Returns, trade allowances, discounts, and product promotions were $840,670 and $484,296 for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Returns, trade allowances, discounts, and product promotions were $2,200,761 and $1,492,824 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

In addition, the Company provides allowances for sales returns based upon estimated and known returns. Product returns are recorded as a reduction of net revenues and as a reduction of the accounts receivable balance.

Cost of Sales

Cost of Sales

 

The Company purchases its products directly from third party manufacturers. The Company’s cost of sales include product costs, including any associated materials used in production, cost of warehousing and distribution. Included in the cost of sales are transit freight and shipping and handling costs that are incurred by the Company.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

 

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Marketing

Marketing

 

The Company expenses all production costs related to advertising costs as they are incurred, including print, digital, and television when the advertisement has been broadcast or otherwise finished and or distributed. The Company records website costs related to its direct-to-consumer advertisements in accordance with FASB ASC 340-20 “Capitalized Advertising Costs”. In accordance with FASB ASC 340-20, direct response advertising costs incurred should be reported as assets and should be amortized over the estimated period of the benefits, based on the proportion of current period revenue from the advertisements to probable future revenue.

Research and Development Costs

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs, which includes the funding of clinical research studies, as well as creation and development of new products, are expensed when incurred.

Distribution, Shipping and Handling Costs

Distribution, Shipping and Handling Costs

 

Shipping costs on purchases and shipping and handling fees related to sales charged to customers are both included in cost of sales. As mentioned in Revenue Recognition, shipping and handling revenue billed customers are reflected in other revenues.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivables. Concentrations of credit with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company’s customer bases and their dispersion across different geographic locations.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the 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 and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include but are not limited to the fair value determination of derivative instruments, the valuation allowance with respect to estimated utilization of net operating losses, estimated allowances for sales returns and collectability of trade receivables.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) less preferred dividends for the period 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) less preferred dividends for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period.
