Accounting Polic
ies
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form
10
-Q and reflect all adjustments (which primarily include normal recurring accruals) which we believe are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. These statements, however, do
not
include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Interim results
may
not
necessarily be indicative of results that
may
be expected for any other interim period or for the year as a whole. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the annual report on Form
10
-K for the year ended
December 31, 2018,
filed
March 29, 2019
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Reclassifications
 
To conform to the current year presentation, certain previously reported
2018
amounts have been reclassified. 
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market and are accounted for on a
first
-in,
first
-out basis. Effective
January 1, 2019,
finished goods inventories primarily consist of purchased products held for resale. Prior to
2019,
finished goods inventories were primarily comprised of internally manufactured products consisting of the costs associated with raw materials, labor, and overhead. On a periodic basis we review our inventory levels, as compared to future demand requirements and the shelf life of the various products. Based on this review, we record inventory write-downs when necessary.
 
Sales aids and promotional materials inventories represent distributor kits, product brochures, and other sales and business development materials which are held for sale to distributors. Cost of the sales aids and promotional materials held for sale are capitalized as inventories and subsequently recorded to costs of goods sold upon recognition of revenue when sold to distributors. All other advertising and promotional costs are expensed when incurred.
 
Variable Interest Entities (VIE) - Unconsolidated
 
Effective
January 1, 2019,
we have a financial interest in Nutracom LLC (Nutracom). If we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we are required to consolidate the VIE in our consolidated financial statements. To determine if we are the primary beneficiary, we evaluate whether we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Our VIE evaluation requires significant assumptions and judgments.
 
We do
not
have the power to direct the significant activities of Nutracom, primarily because we do
not
have governance rights. We also do
not
participate in the annual profits or losses of Nutracom. Therefore, we do
not
consolidate the financial results of Nutracom in our consolidated financial statements. We account for our financial interest in Nutracom as an equity investment measured at cost minus impairment, if any. A cost method equity investment is subject to periodic impairment review using the other-than-temporary impairment model, which considers the severity and duration of a decline in fair value below cost and our ability and intent to hold the investment for a sufficient period of time to allow for recovery.
 
See Note
2
and Note
3
for further information on our financial relationship with Nutracom.
 
Concentrations of Risk
 
Effective
January 1, 2019,
we have entered into outsourcing agreements with Nutracom to manufacture our nutritional and dietary supplements and for warehousing and fulfillment services for the U.S. distribution of our products. Nutracom has also issued promissory notes to us for the acquisition of our manufacturing and fulfillment operations. Any inability of Nutracom to deliver these contracted services or to repay the promissory notes could adversely impact our future operating results. See Note
2
and Note
3
for further discussion of our relationship with Nutracom.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements –
Not
Yet Adopted
 
In
June 2016,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updated (“ASU”)
No.
2016
-
13,
Credit Losses
(Topic
326
): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
which requires entities to use a current lifetime expected credit loss methodology to measure impairments of certain financial assets. Using this methodology
may
result in earlier recognition of losses than under the current incurred loss approach, which requires waiting to recognize a loss until it is probable of having been incurred. There are other provisions within the standard that affect how impairments of other financial assets
may
be recorded and presented, and that expand disclosures. This standard will be effective for our interim and annual financial periods beginning
January 1, 2020,
with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this standard must be applied on a modified retrospective basis. We are evaluating the potential impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements – Adopted
January 1, 2019
 
Lessee Accounting
On
January 1, 2019,
we adopted ASU
No.
2016
-
02,
Leases (Topic
842
)
(including subsequent issued lease-related ASU’s), and applied the new lease accounting standard to all lessee operating leases using the prospective transition method. Under this method, prior financial reporting periods are
not
restated. The adoption of the new lease accounting standard resulted in the recording of assets and obligations of our operating leases of approximately
$451,000
and
$457,000,
respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets. Certain amounts previously recorded for prepaid and accrued rent associated with historical operating leases were reclassified to the newly captioned Operating lease right-to-use assets.
 
At adoption, we used the new lease accounting standard’s package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance that allowed us to
not
reassess: (a) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (b) lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (c) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. We also used the lease standard’s practical expedient that allows lessees to treat the lease and implicit non-lease components of our leases as a single lease component and we do
not
record on the balance sheet leases with an initial term of
twelve
months or less. Fixed lease expense on all of our operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contractual lease term, including our estimate of any renewal or early termination lease terms. Operating lease expense is presented within Selling, General and Administrative expense in our operating results.
 
Operating lease liabilities and related operating lease right-to-use assets are recognized at commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. When leases do
not
provide an implicit discount rate, we use a country specific incremental borrowing rate based upon the lease term.
 
See Note
7
for additional lease disclosures.
 
Less
or
Accounting
– Other Revenue
 
Other revenue consists of revenue derived from our leasing a portion of our headquarters building to Nutracom, LLC (Nutracom). We recognize lessor rent revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. As part of this straight-line methodology, the cumulative rental billings
may
be greater or less than the financial period’s recognized revenue; such timing differences are recognized on the balance sheet as an accrued other liability or an unbilled rent revenue receivable.
 
Also included in other revenue are billings to the tenant for its share of the facility’s common area costs such as real estate taxes, maintenance, and utilities. These same common area costs plus the tenant’s share of the facilities’ depreciation are recorded as cost of goods sold.

and Note

for further information on our financial relationship with Nutracom. See Note
7
for further information on our leases.
 
Going Concern
 
We have incurred operating losses, declining net sales, and negative net cash flows over our most recent
five
years. Our management estimates that these unfavorable trends are more likely than
not
to continue for the foreseeable future, and as a result, we will require additional financial support to fund our operations and execute our business plan. As of
June 30, 2019,
we had
$1,918,721
in cash and cash equivalents which
may
not
be sufficient to fund our planned operations through
one
year subsequent to the date of the issuance of these condensed financial statements, and accordingly, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The analysis used to determine our ability to continue as a going concern does
not
include cash sources outside of our direct control that our management expects to be available within the next
twelve
months.
 
We
may
not
be able to obtain sufficient additional funding through monetizing certain of our existing assets, sourcing additional borrowings, and issuing additional equity, or any other means, and if we are able to do so, these available sources of funds
may
not
be on satisfactory terms. Our ability to raise additional capital in the equity markets, should we choose to do so, is dependent on a number of factors, including, but
not
limited to, the market demand for our common stock, which itself is subject to a number of business risks and uncertainties, as well as the uncertainty that we would be able to raise such additional capital at a price or on terms that we believe are favorable.
 
We have taken several steps in
2019
which we believe will result in improvement to our financial position, operating results, and cash flows. We have borrowed
$500,000
of our available
$750,000
revolving line of credit balance. In addition, our lender has agreed to extend the available
$750,000
revolving line of credit agreement to
April 28, 2020.
 
As detailed in Note
2
of these condensed consolidated financial statements, on
January 1, 2019,
we sold the assets previously used by us in our manufacturing operations to Nutracom LLC (Nutracom). We financed the assets purchased by Nutracom from us under payment terms scheduled to provide incoming funds to us of
$100,000
or more per year. We have also entered into an agreement for Nutracom to lease a significant portion of our headquarters building. Our management believes that these transactions with Nutracom will be favorable to our financial position, operating results, and cash flows; however, there are risks and uncertainties which arise from these Nutracom transactions and their impact to our operations.
 
Should the aforementioned changes to our operations
not
provide sufficient cash flow improvement or should we be unable to obtain sufficient additional capital or borrowings, we
may
have to engage in any or all of the following activities: (i) seek to monetize our headquarters building via traditional bank lending or a sale and leaseback-type transaction; (ii) monetizing the note receivable from a distributor; (iii) modify our distributor promotions, incentives, and other activities; (iv) cease operations in certain geographic regions, and (v) reduce employee compensation and benefits.
 
These actions
may
have a material adverse impact on our ability to achieve certain of our planned objectives. Even if we are able to source additional funding, we
may
be forced to significantly reduce our operations or shut down our operations if our business operating performance does
not
improve. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and do
not
include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that
may
be necessary in the event we can
no
longer continue as a going concern.
