RONCO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, MERGER, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Ronco Corporation (the “Company” or the “Successor”), a Delaware corporation, is a provider of proprietary consumer products for the kitchen and home. The Company markets its products primarily in the United States through the broadcast of direct response commercial announcements known as infomercials, internet advertising, its in-house customer service department, telemarketing and sales to retailers both directly and through wholesale distributors.
 
On June 29, 2005, Fi-Tek VII, Inc. (“Fi-Tek”), a publicly traded shell corporation, acquired all of the outstanding shares of Ronco Marketing Corporation (“RMC”) through the merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of Fi-Tek with and into RMC. RMC continued as the surviving corporation after this transaction and became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Upon closing of the merger, Fi-Tek changed its name to Ronco Corporation and completed a 1 for 89 reverse stock split of outstanding shares of Fi-Tek's common stock. In exchange for their shares of RMC, the former holders of RMC common stock received 800,002 post-reverse split shares of the Company's stock. The Company's existing stockholders (the stockholders of the Company when it was operating as Fi-Tek) retained the remaining 477,639 shares of the outstanding common stock of the Company following the merger and reverse stock split of the common stock. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition into a publicly traded shell corporation, and accordingly, no goodwill was recorded.
 
Effective June 30, 2005, the Company through its wholly-owned subsidiary, RMC, completed a series of transactions to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of Ronco Inventions, LLC (“RI” or “LLC”), a California limited liability company; Popeil Inventions, Inc. (“PII”), a Nevada S corporation; RP Productions, Inc. (“RPP”) a Nevada S corporation (collectively, the “Seller Entities” or the “Predecessor”); and certain patents and other intellectual property rights from Ronald M. Popeil (“Popeil”).
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the period ended June 30, 2006.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, RMC. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Loss Per Share
 
Basic and diluted net loss per share information for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005 is presented in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding. The dilutive effect of preferred stock, options and warrants convertible into an aggregate of approximately 16,034,000 and 13,529,000 of common shares as of September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005, respectively, are not included as the inclusion of such would be anti-dilutive.

Going Concern
 
The Company incurred net losses of approximately $47,440,000 for the year ended June 30, 2006, and had a working capital deficiency of approximately $12,867,000 as of June 30, 2006. The 2006 loss included an impairment of goodwill and intangibles of $24,520,916. The Company incurred a net loss of approximately $4,613,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 and had working capital deficit of approximately $6,120,000 as of September 30, 2006. The Company has been sued by its vendor, Human Electronics, and has been contacted by the counsel of the Korean Export Insurance Company demanding payment on the funds they advance on behalf of Human Electronics. The total amount of these two claims, excluding attorneys' fees and other expenses, is approximately $2.1 million. Additionally, the Company has been notified by its credit card processing company that it will be required to increase its restricted cash reserves by approximately $1.5 million through December 2006 to support its credit card processing. These issues as well as the Company's history of historical operating losses, negative working capital, and risks normally associated with debt financing including the risk that Company's cash flow will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest make the ability of the Company to meet its financial obligations as they become due uncertain.
 
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The Company plans to continue its efforts to identify ways of reducing operating costs and to increase liquidity through equity and debt financing. On October 18, 2006, the Company secured a $5.5 million term loan and an $11 million line of credit to help meet its business plan. The Company has also taken steps to reduce expenditures, salaries and other operating costs.

NOTE 3 - REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT
 
On September 21, 2005, the Company borrowed $1,234,000 from Wells Fargo Bank, National Association under a Revolving Line of Credit Note. The outstanding balance was due and payable on September 20, 2006 and was collateralized by municipal bonds held by the Company. The borrowings bear interest at 1% above LIBOR, or 1/2% below prime, at the Company's option. There was no prepayment penalty on this revolving line of credit. In August 2006, the outstanding balance was repaid in full and the line of credit expired in September 2006.

NOTE 4 - FACTORING AGREEMENT
 
On October 25, 2005, the Company and Prestige Capital Corporation (“Prestige”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which Prestige agreed to buy and accept, and the Company agreed to sell and assign, certain accounts receivable owing to the Company with recourse except for payment not received due to insolvency. Under the terms of the Agreement, upon the receipt and acceptance of each assignment of accounts receivable (“Accounts”), Prestige shall pay the Company 75% of the face amount of the Accounts so assigned. Under the Agreement, Prestige has agreed to purchase Accounts with a maximum aggregate face amount of $8,000,000. The fee payable by the Company to Prestige under the Agreement is 2% of the face amount of assigned Accounts if the receivable is collected within 15 days, 2.75% of the face amount if the receivable is collected within 30 days, 3.75% of the face amount if the receivable is collected within 45 days, 4.75% of the face amount if the receivable is collected within 60 days, and 5.75% of the face amount if the receivable is collected within 75 days. Thereafter, the rate goes up by 1% for each additional fifteen day period until the Account is paid. There is no maximum rate. In addition, Prestige may require the Company to repay the amount it has advanced to it, in certain cases, if the receivable is not paid within 90 days. In such case Prestige would not retain the account receivable. If an account receivable is not paid due to the bankruptcy of the customer, or due to certain similar events of insolvency, the Company will not be required to repay the cash advance to Prestige. The initial term of the Agreement expired on May 1, 2006, but the Agreement will thereafter be automatically extended for additional one-year terms unless either party provides written notice of cancellation at least sixty days prior to the expiration of the initial or renewal term. The Company has given notice not to renew and Prestige has agreed to extend the term on a month to month basis. On October 6, 2006, the Company extended the term of the Agreement with Prestige until October 1, 2007. There is no penalty associated with this extension.
 
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company granted to Prestige a continuing security interest in, and lien upon, all accounts, instruments, inventory, documents, chattel paper and general intangibles, whether now owned or hereafter created or acquired, as security for the prompt performance and payment of all obligations of the Company to Prestige under the Agreement. If the customers do not pay their receivables within 90 days, Prestige has the right to charge back the Company. The Company has accounted for this as a sale of receivables in accordance with SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities.” As of September 30, 2006 the Company had assigned approximately $3.4 million and had outstanding borrowings of approximately $2.5 million under the Agreement. In October 2006, the outstanding balance was repaid and the Agreement was terminated.
 
NOTE 5 - SELLER ENTITIES' PROMISSORY NOTES
 
The face value of the promissory notes to the Seller Entities represents the net value of Ronco's assets acquired. These promissory notes bear simple interest at a rate of 9.5% per annum. The required payment amounts under these promissory notes will be determined by applying a per-unit dollar amount, as defined, to the volumes of products, as defined, that are shipped to the Company, within a period. Any outstanding principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest will become due and payable in full by June 29, 2010; and there is no pre-payment penalty on the promissory notes.

Popeil, the RMP Family Trust, Ronco Inventions, LLC, Popeil Inventions, Inc. and RP Productions, Inc., which were among the predecessor entities from which the Company originally purchased the Ronco business. Under this agreement, Mr. Popeil agreed to enter into a subordination agreement with Laurus and an additional limited subordination agreement with SMH and the other lenders under the loan agreement with SMH.

Under the terms of the Company's new agreement, on October 18, 2006, the Company paid $1,250,000 in satisfaction of its past due payment obligations under the promissory notes through June 30, 2006. The Company also agreed to pay all additional amounts due through September 30, 2006, within 30 days from the date of this agreement and that the Company is not in default on the obligations as of September 30, 2006. On October 20, 2006, the Company made another payment of $400,000 under the promissory notes.

NOTE 6 - LOAN AGREEMENT
 
On June 9, 2006, the Company entered into a letter loan agreement with the Lenders (Sanders Morris Harris, Inc. (“SMH”) and the Lenders who participate in a subsequent offering; a Security Agreement in favor of SMH individually and as agent for the Lenders; an Assignment of a life insurance policy for $15 million on the life of Ron Popeil in favor of SMH, individually and as agent for the Lenders; and the Company issued a Subordinated Promissory Note in the principal amount of $1,500,000 to SMH. As of June 9, 2006, A. Emerson Martin, II and Gregg A. Mockenhaupt were members of the Company's Board of Directors and managing directors of SMH.
 
On October 18, 2006, SMH agreed to loan Company an additional $1,500,000 subject to certain closing conditions, including the mailing of an offer by Company to each of the holders of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to participate in a rights offering based on their pro rata ownership of outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and our closing on a credit agreement for a facility of not less than $15 million. Although conditions were not satisfied, on October 18, 2006, in connection with the financing obtained through Laurus Master Fund Ltd. (see Note 10) , SMH agreed to loan Company the additional $1,500,000 in exchange for a second promissory note in the principal amount of $1,500,000. The Company also amended its letter loan agreement with SMH to amend and restate the form of the promissory notes issued under the agreement, to eliminate certain requirements and conditions under the agreement and to make certain other changes to the terms of its agreement with SMH. The amended letter loan agreement provides, among other things, that: (i) the closing of the Company's rights offering would take place 45 days after the mailing of the offer to each of the holders the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to participate, to the extent of their pro rata share of the Company's outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, in such rights offering by loaning to Company up to an additional $3,000,000 (which funds would be used by Company to pay off the loans made by SMH to Company under the letter loan agreement); (ii) SMH will (subject to certain conditions) reinvest the rights offering funds paid to it by us within 30 business days after the closing of the rights offering; (iii) the Company is not required to maintain Richard F. Allen, Sr. as its Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Company's Board of Directors; (iv) the mailing of the rights offering materials, to the extent permissible under applicable federal and state securities laws, to Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stockholders must take place by the earlier to occur of seven days after December 31, 2006 or the end of the period designated for determining the current market value of our common stock; and (v) the failure to close the rights offering within forty-five days after the date of the mailing of the rights offering materials to the holders of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will not constitute an event of default under the letter loan agreement with SMH (as amended). Under the agreement, the Company agreed to use its reasonable commercial efforts to file Amendment No. 7 to Company's registration statement no later than October 31, 2006. The Company believes that it used its reasonable commercial efforts to complete the registration statement by October 31, 2006, and filed Amendment No. 7 to its registration statement on November 8, 2006. SMH also agreed to waive any breach of the letter loan agreement and the related loan documents that occurred before October 18, 2006, and agreed to waive any event of default under the letter loan agreement or the initial subordinated promissory note issued to SMH on June 9, 2006 that occurred prior to October 18, 2006. In addition, under the terms of amended letter loan agreement, SMH re-assigned proceeds under a life insurance policy for $15 million on the life of Ronald M. Popeil to SMH, which the Company previously assigned to SMH under the terms of the original agreement signed on June 9, 2006. The loans under the loan agreement bear interest at a rate of 4.77% per annum. Interest will be due and payable on the initial promissory note on the first and second anniversary of the issuance of the notes and at the maturity date. All interest and outstanding principal on the second promissory note will be payable on the earlier of June 9, 2009 or any refinancing of the loan with Laurus Master Fund Ltd.
 
Under the terms of the amended letter loan agreement, the principal and interest payable on the notes issued under the loan agreement are convertible into shares of Company's common stock at conversion price based on the weighted average of the stock sale price for the twenty consecutive trading days after the registration statement becomes effective. However, if the registration statement does not become effective in time so that this twenty-day period ends by December 31, 2006, the principal and interest payable on the notes will be convertible at a price of $0.17 per share.

NOTE 7- STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
 
In connection with RMC's purchase of selected assets of the Seller Entities, on June 30, 2005, the Company sold 13,262,600 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for $50 million in a private placement. The preferred stock has certain special rights, as defined, and the qualifications of the preferred stock are as follows:
 
Conversion - The conversion ratio, as of September 30, 2006, of the preferred stock is at the rate of one share of common stock for each share of preferred stock at the option of the holder. Under certain circumstances the Company, at its option, may cause all of the outstanding shares of preferred stock to be converted into shares of common stock, as defined, (representing an 86% ownership, as of September 30 2006, of the Company after redemption).
 
Voting Rights - Holders of preferred stock are entitled to the number of votes per share that would be equivalent to the number of shares of common stock into which a share of preferred stock is convertible.
 
Dividends - The holders of preferred stock are entitled to receive cumulative preferred dividends at the rate of $0.1885 per share per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 of each year. The dividends for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 were $710,689. The dividends for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 were paid in additional shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on November 1, 2006.
 
Liquidation - The holders of preferred stock will have the right to receive, after payment of all creditors, the sum of $3.77 per share of the preferred stock held, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, as defined, prior to any distributions with respect to the common stock. Subject to certain restrictions, the terms of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock provide that the Company may, at its option, cause all of the outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted into shares of common stock, at any time and from time to time, if the market price of the common stock equals or exceeds 200% of the conversion price then in effect for any 20 days during the most recent consecutive 30 trading days prior to giving the notice of conversion and the daily trading volume of the common stock for any 20 days during the most recent consecutive 30 trading days prior to giving the notice of conversion equaled or exceeds 50,000 shares. In the event that the Company fails to declare or pay in full any dividend payable on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on the applicable dividend date and fails to correct such failure within thirty days of the applicable dividend date then the Company loses its ability to cause all of the outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to be converted into shares of common stock at anytime.
 
Registration Rights Agreement
 
On June 30, 2005, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”) and under the terms of the agreement, the Company is obligated to file a registration statement (Form S-l) covering the resale of the shares of common stock into which the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock purchased are convertible. The Company is obligated to have the registration statement declared effective by October 28, 2005. The Company was unable to meet this deadline and the Company is liable for a cash payment to the stockholders who are party to the Registration Rights Agreement, as liquidated damages. The amount will be equal to one percent of the per share price of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock per month (pro rated for periods less than a month), or $500,000, until the Company has cured the deadline default, as defined. In June 2006 the Series A Preferred Stock holders agreed to waive all penalties relating to this Registration Rights Agreement.

Deferred compensation
 
On June 30, 2005, in connection with an employment agreement, the Company sold 800,313 shares of common stock to its then Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") for $.01 per share. These shares are subject to certain performance milestones. The Company has recorded deferred compensation of $3,009,177 based on the fair value of the common stock at June 30, 2005, which was $3.77 per share. The deferred compensation was to be amortized over three years based on the CEO's contract. At June 30, 2006, the deferred compensation was eliminated against additional paid in capital in accordance with SFAS 123(R).
 
The CEO received 60% of these shares (480,188) in connection with his employment agreement, and was to be entitled to receive an additional 20% of these shares (160,063) on each of the first two anniversaries from June 30, 2005. The initial 480,188 shares are subject to repurchase by the Company, at its option, for $0.01 per share, exercisable if the CEO voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company prior to June 30, 2008 or if certain performance targets are not satisfied. Additionally, if the Company terminates the CEO's employment on or before June 30, 2007 for “cause” the Company has the option to repurchase, for $0.01 per share, the shares issued to him on the first and second anniversaries of his employment. In August 2006, the Company terminated the former CEO for cause. In connection with his termination, the Company took a charge of approximately $800,000 of non-cash compensation and reversed approximately $1,207,000 of deferred compensation against common stock to be issued. The Company's additional rights under the CEO's employment agreement continue to be reviewed and considered by the Company
 
On June 30, 2005, in connection with an employment agreement, the Company sold 160,063 shares of common stock to its Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") for $0.01 per share. The Company has valued these shares at $601,838 based on the fair value of the common stock at June 30, 2005, the market value was $3.77 per share. The Company recorded $300,919 as compensation expense for the period from October 15, 2004 (Date of Inception) to June 30, 2005, and the remainder of $300,919 has been recorded as deferred compensation and was being amortized over three years based on CFO's contract. The balance of deferred compensation was expensed as of June 30, 2006.
 
The Company had the option to repurchase 50% of these shares (80,032) at $0.01 per share, exercisable if the CFO's employment is terminated voluntarily or for "cause," as defined. The Company's repurchase right will lapse with respect to each 25% (40,016) of these shares on each of the first two anniversaries from June 30, 2005.
 
On April 18, 2006, the Company terminated Evan J. Warshawsky as its Chief Financial Officer and Secretary. If the Company was unable to reach a settlement with Mr. Warshawsky, and it is ultimately determined that Mr. Warshawsky was terminated by the Company without cause under the terms of his employment agreement, the Company would have to pay Mr. Warshawsky $600,000 and reimburse him for the cost of up to the first twelve months of continuing group health plan coverage that Mr. Warshawsky and his covered dependents are entitled to receive under federal law. In addition, the Company's repurchase option would lapse with respect to 80,032 shares of the Company's common stock held by Mr. Warshawsky. In May 2006, Mr. Warshawshy filed suit for wrongful termination.
 
Effective October 1, 2006, the Company settled this claim. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, in consideration for a full release of claims by the parties: (a) the Company agreed to waive its right to repurchase 160,063 shares of our common stock previously issued to Mr. Warshawsky pursuant to our employment agreement with him; (b) the Company agreed to transfer to Mr. Warshawsky a vehicle previously purchased for him by us valued at approximately $17,000; and (c) the Company agreed to enter into a Consulting Agreement with Definity Design Group, Inc., an entity owned by Mr. Warshawsky, for certain business consulting services. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, the Company agreed to pay to Definity Design Group a total retainer of $468,000, payable in equal monthly installments over the twenty-four (24) month term of the agreement, subject to certain grace periods and the occurrence of certain acceleration events.
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005 the Company recognized $799,248 and $275,841 respectively, of amortization expense related to the CEO and CFO deferred compensation.
 
Conversion of Series A Preferred Stock To Common Stock
 
In September 2006, some of the Series A preferred shareholders began to convert their preferred stock into common stock. This conversion was done on a ratio of one preferred share to one common share basis. With the issuance of the warrant to Laurus on October 18, 2006 (see Note 10), the anti-dilution rights afforded to the Series A Preferred shareholders changed the conversion ratio to 1.02754 common shares for each one share of Series A preferred. A preferential conversion of approximately $1,462,000 will be recorded in the quarter ended December 31, 2006 in connection with the reduction of the conversion price.

NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES
 
The Company establishes a valuation allowance in accordance with the provision of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The Company continually reviews the adequacy of the valuation allowance and recognizes a benefit from income taxes only when reassessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the benefits will be realized. As of September 30, 2006, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against the entire deferred tax asset.
 
As of September 30, 2006, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards available in future periods to reduce income taxes that may be payable at those dates. For federal and California income tax purposes, net operating loss carry forwards amounted to approximately $20 million and expire during the years 2026 and 2016, respectively.
 
NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Litigation

On April 3, 2006, Palisades Master Fund, L.P. (“Palisades”), a holder of Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, filed a lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, claiming breach of contract based on the Company's failure to have a registration statement declared effective by October 28, 2005 for the sale of Palisades' shares of the Company's common stock and failure to pay dividends and penalties to Palisades. On September 29, 2006, Palisades filed an Amended Complaint, claiming that Palisades also incurred damages due to Ronco's alleged failure to timely issue documents that would allow Palisades to sell its common stock pursuant to Rule 144. Palisades claims that Ronco's alleged conduct was in breach of the Certificate of Designation. In October 2006, this case was dismissed without prejudice.
 
On May 22, 2006, Evan J. Warshawsky, the Company's former Chief Financial Officer filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court against us seeking damages in excess of $600,000 in connection with his termination. The complaint alleges causes of action for breach of employment agreement, declaratory relief and wrongful termination in violation of public policy. The lawsuit was stayed pending resolution of the arbitration. Effective October 1, 2006, the Company settled this claim, as described in Note 7.
 
On June 22, 2006, the Company received a demand letter from Mr. Paul F. Wallace, a stockholder, seeking prompt payment of $41,285 plus interest from us as partial liquidated damages for Company's failure to have a registration statement declared effective by October 28, 2005 for the sale of Wallace's shares of stock. The demand letter also seeks a monthly payment of $5,027 as partial liquidated damages until such registration statement is declared effective. The demand letter was updated on August 21, 2006 to increase the amount owed to $50,296.
 
On August 30, 2006, the Company received a letter from counsel to Human Electronics (one of our vendors) demanding payment for allegedly unpaid invoices amounting to some $488,549 for a large quantity of items manufactured and shipped to Company. Human Electronics asserts that the invoices totaled $2,058,871 which have been included in amounts payable as of September 30, 2006 and that of that amount, an insurance company paid them $1,570,323 and that the unpaid balance is still due. Human Electronics then threatened suit if the amount claimed to be due was not paid in 7 days. The Company responded to the demand on September 5, 2006 asserting a number of responses, including offsets and demanding that Human Electronics return certain of Company's assets (consisting of tooling, some inventory and parts) in Human Electronics' possession. The Company offered to pay the balance ultimately determined to be due, subject to working out a definitive settlement agreement that includes a payment arrangement with the insurance carrier, a payment arrangement with Human Electronics and working out a resolution with respect to the disposition of the remaining issues addressed in the initial demand letter from Human Electronics. On October 5, 2006, Human Electronics filed a complaint in California Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles, Central District (case number BC359815). The Company has not yet been served with the complaint. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Company breached its contract with Human Electronics and that the Company defrauded Human Electronics by knowingly making false assertions and representations. The complaint also alleges that the Company became indebted to Human Electronics for goods and services delivered to us and seeks damages in the amount of at least $488,549 plus interest and attorneys' fees. On November 7, 2006, the Company received a letter from counsel from the Korea Export Insurance Corp (KEIC), the insurance company referenced above, requesting payment of the balance due on the Human invoices of $1,570,323. The Company will respond to their demand for payment shortly.

Laurus Financing
 
On October 18, 2006, the Company entered into a security and purchase agreement with Laurus Master Fund Ltd. (“Laurus”), under which the Company secured from Laurus a term loan of $4 million and a revolving credit line in the maximum principal amount of $11 million. As consideration for the term loan and credit line, the Company issued to Laurus promissory notes in corresponding amounts. The notes mature on October 18, 2008. the Company's obligations under the purchase agreement and the notes is secured by substantially all of the Company's tangible and intangible property. The note issued under the term loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the specified prime rate plus 2% but in no event less than 8%. The aggregate principal amount outstanding under the term note is payable monthly beginning on January 1, 2007 and thereafter on the first business day of each succeeding month. The Company has the option of prepaying the term loan by paying 115% of the principal amount of the term note then outstanding, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any and all other sums due or payable to Laurus under the note and its agreements with Laurus.
 
In the event of default, if notified by Laurus, the Company will be required to pay additional interest on the outstanding principal balance of the term note in an amount equal to 0.5% per month. The note issued under the revolving credit line bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the specified prime Rate plus 1% but in no event less than 8%. Interest is payable monthly commencing on November 1, 2006 and thereafter on the first business day of each consecutive calendar month.
 
The Company may from time to time draw loans under the note. The amount that may be outstanding at any one time under the note is based on a formula that takes into account the amount of the Company's available inventory and available accounts receivable. In the event of default, if notified by Laurus, the Company will be required to pay additional interest on the outstanding principal balance of the note in an amount equal to 0.5% per month.
 
In connection with these arrangements and as additional security for the notes, the Company pledged to Laurus all of its shares of Ronco Marketing Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiary, including any shares that the Company may acquire in this company in the future. The Company also assigned to Laurus proceeds of the life insurance policy for $15 million on the life of Ronald M. Popeil, which was previously assigned to SMH and re-assigned to the Company by SMH under the terms of the amended letter loan agreement with SMH. In addition, Ronco Marketing Corporation, or (“RMC”), and Laurus entered into an intellectual property security agreement pursuant to which, among other things, RMC granted Laurus a security interest in all of RMC's right, title and interest in certain intellectual property of RMC.
 
As partial consideration under the Company's agreement with Laurus, the Company issued to Laurus a warrant to purchase 1,750,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.00001 per share. The warrant is exercisable immediately and expires on October 18, 2036. The exercise price of the warrant may be paid (i) in cash or by certified or official bank check, (ii) by delivery of the warrant, or shares of common stock and/or common stock receivable upon exercise of the warrant, or (iii) by a combination of any of the foregoing methods, for the number of common shares specified in the exercise notice. If the fair market value of one share of common stock is greater than the exercise price, in lieu of exercising the warrant for cash, Laurus may elect to receive shares equal to the value of the warrant by surrendering the warrant to the Company in exchange for shares of the Company's common stock computed as follows: the fair market value of one share of common stock (at the date of such calculation), minus the exercise price per share (as adjusted to the date of such calculation), multiplied by the number of shares of common stock purchasable under the warrant, or if only a portion is being exercised, the portion being exercised, divided by the fair market value of one share of our common stock (at the date of such calculation). The Company agreed to register all shares underlying the warrant issued to Laurus under the terms of a registration rights agreement with Laurus. Pursuant to the terms of the registration rights agreement, the Company is required to register the resale of shares underlying the warrants on a registration statement filed within 60 days following execution of the registration rights agreement. The Company is also required to use our best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective no later than the 180th day following the date of the registration rights agreement. Shares underlying the warrant issued to Laurus are included in this prospectus and covered by the related registration statement that the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
On October 18, 2006, the Company used proceeds available under the facility obtained through Laurus to repay all amounts due under its loan agreement with Crossroads Financial, LLC and factoring agreement with Prestige Capital and terminated these arrangements. The Company also repaid amounts to Ronald M. Popeil and the predecessor entities under the terms of its agreement with them.

We generally identify forward-looking statements by the use of terminology such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “potential,” “continue,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” or similar phrases or the negatives of such terms. We base these statements on our beliefs as well as assumptions we made using information currently available to us. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those identified in our June 30, 2006 annual report on Form 10-K under the heading “Risk Factors,” as well as other matters not currently considered material by us. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected.

The results of our operations have varied significantly in the past and we expect our operations to continue to vary in the future. A number of factors, some of which are outside of our control, will cause our results to fluctuate, including:

·  
our ability to obtain funds required to meet our liquidity needs;
 
·  
seasonal patterns affecting the performance of television media, primarily weather;
 
·  
the relative availability of attractive media time within a given period for us to promote our products;
 
·  
changes in interest rates, which will impact the cost of our borrowing and may impact certain customers’ decisions to make purchases through credit cards;
 
·  
the impact of general economic conditions;
 
·  
the introduction of new product offerings; and
 
·  
the introduction of new infomercials for existing products.
 
In view of these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements do not guarantee future performance and should not be considered as statements of fact.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report and, unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or future events or otherwise. You should, however, review the factors and risks we describe in other reports and documents we will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or the SEC) after the date of this report.

All references to “Ronco,” “we,” “our,” “our company,” “us” or the “Company” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to Ronco Corporation and its subsidiary. As explained elsewhere in this report, our company was previously named Fi-Tek VII, Inc. and operated as a “blank check” company (a company with no significant business operations or specific business purpose) before June 30, 2005. On June 29, 2005, we (then named Fi-Tek VII, Inc.) closed a merger transaction resulting in a change of control. In connection with this transaction, we changed our name to Ronco Corporation. On June 30, 2005, we also acquired certain business and assets owned and operated by Mr. Ronald M. Popeil and certain entities affiliated with Mr. Popeil, as described in this report. All references to “our business,” “Ronco’s business” and similar references to the business and assets described in this report refer to the business and assets that we acquired on June 30, 2005, and not to our operations under the name Fi-Tek VII, Inc. before June 30, 2005.
