ORANGE 21 INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Orange 21 Inc. and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For purposes of this report, the term the “Company” refers to Orange 21 Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2011. The consolidated financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Orange 21 Inc. currently has two wholly owned subsidiaries, one incorporated in Italy, Orange 21 Europe S.r.l. (“O21 Europe”), formerly known as Spy Optic S.r.l., and one incorporated in California, Orange 21 North America Inc. (“O21NA”), formerly known as Spy Optic, Inc. Spy Optic S.r.l. changed its name to Orange 21 Europe S.r.l. effective October 13, 2009. Spy Optic, Inc. changed its name to Orange 21 North America Inc. effective January 11, 2010. As discussed below, until December 31, 2010, the Company also wholly owned LEM, S.r.l. (“LEM”).

Deconsolidation of LEM

In January 2006, the Company acquired for $6.1 million all of the equity interest of LEM and consolidated it. During the fourth quarter of 2010, management and the Company’s Board of Directors determined that ownership of LEM was inconsistent with the Company’s margin improvement strategies which include sourcing a portion of its product purchases from other lower cost and high quality suppliers. Additionally, owning and operating a manufacturing facility imposed an unnecessary distraction for management, included significant fixed overhead and operating expenses, and used other Company resources. Therefore, on December 31, 2010, the Company completed the sale of 90% of its equity interest in LEM to two LEM employees and two third-party suppliers of LEM (“Purchasers”) in exchange for approximately $20,000. In addition, LEM secured the release of the Company’s guarantee of certain of LEM’s obligations to a third party and LEM agreed to indemnify the Company against any liability in connection with such guarantee. The purchase price and the other terms of the transaction were determined through arms-length negotiations between the Company and the Purchasers on the basis of the parties’ view of the fair value of LEM. The Company continues to hold a 10% equity interest in LEM. LEM was, is currently and is expected to continue to be one of the Company’s manufacturers of sports eye glasses. The sale was pursuant to the Master Agreement between the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, O21 Europe, and the Purchasers entered into on December 16, 2010. The Master Agreement provides that the Company will purchase a minimum amount of certain goods or services from LEM during the years ending December 31, 2011 and 2012, subject to the continued employment by LEM of the two employees that were a part of the Purchasers.

The minimum purchase amount for the year ending December 31, 2011 is €3,717,617. Converted into United States dollars at the spot exchange rates in effect at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and taking into account purchases made through June 30, 2011, the remaining minimum purchase amount converted to US$ was US$2,784,383 and US$4,968,595 as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The minimum purchase amount for the year ended December 31, 2012 is €1,858,808. Converted into United States dollars, the minimum purchase amount was US$2,675,011 and US$2,484,297 as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. In the event the Company does not meet the minimum purchase amounts indicated above, the Company has the obligation to pay LEM in cash an amount equal to €0.37 for each Euro of goods and/or services of the minimum purchase amounts not purchased by the Company prior to December 31, 2011. The Company has non-cancellable open purchase orders to LEM of approximately €738,000 (US$1,062,056) through June 30, 2011, from which it anticipates delivery prior to December 31, 2011.

Table of Contents

Due to the minimum purchase commitments, the Company believes that there will be significant cash flows to LEM for the two years subsequent to the December 31, 2010 date of sale. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company has included the results of operations of LEM in the Consolidated Statement of Operations during 2010 and not as a discontinued operation. The Company deconsolidated LEM from its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2010 and recognized a loss of $1.4 million on the transaction during the year ended December 31, 2010, as calculated below.

Loss on sale of 90% of LEM

   $ 1,441   
  

 

 

 

Any future loss is limited to the fair value of the remaining 10% investment in LEM, $2,000. Based on the Company’s evaluation of current accounting guidance, it was determined that the Company did not maintain significant influence over LEM and, accordingly, has recorded the remaining 10% interest in LEM in accordance with the cost method. Based on the Company’s lack of ability to influence, lack of a role in policy and decision making, no further guarantee over LEM’s debt and no seats on LEM’s board of directors, the Company concluded that it would not be appropriate to account for such investment in consolidation under the equity method of accounting.

The aggregate carrying amount of the cost method investment is $2,000 as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2010 has been presented as if the deconsolidation of LEM had occurred on April 1, 2010 (in thousands).

  (3) Represents the pro forma consolidated results of operations of the Company and its remaining wholly owned subsidiaries, O21NA and O21 Europe, for the three months ended June 30, 2010. As noted above, this table assumes an effective date of April 1, 2010 for the deconsolidation of LEM. Accordingly, while the results of LEM for the three months ended June 30, 2010 would be eliminated, the recording of the deconsolidation would result in a loss of $1.3 million on April 1, 2010, which would result in this $1.3 million loss being recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 has been presented as if the deconsolidation of LEM had occurred on January 1, 2010 (in thousands).

Recent Financing Transactions

In December 2010, O21NA borrowed $7.0 million under a promissory note due December 31, 2012 to Costa Brava Partnership III, L.P. (“Costa Brava”), an entity that beneficially owned at June 30, 2011 approximately 45.9% of the Company’s common stock (or 49.9% on an as converted basis assuming conversion of $2,250,000 of the promissory note into common stock in accordance with its terms). The entire $7.0 million of such promissory note principal remains outstanding as of June 30, 2011. The Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, Seth Hamot, is the President and sole member of Roark, Rearden & Hamot, LLC, which is the sole general partner of Costa Brava. The promissory note replaced the $3.0 million, $1.0 million and $1.0 million promissory notes issued by O21NA to Costa Brava in March 2010, October 2010 and November 2010, respectively, as well as provided for an additional $2.0 million in new loan proceeds. Approximately $2.6 million of the proceeds from the March 2010 promissory note were used to prepay the then current balance on our revolving line of credit extended by BFI Business Finance to O21NA. The balance of the net proceeds from O21NA’s issuance of the March 2010 promissory note as well as the proceeds from the October 2010 and November 2010 promissory notes and the additional $2.0 million proceeds from the December 2010 promissory note to Costa Brava were used for working capital purposes. See also Notes 7 “Financing Arrangements” and 11 “Related Party Transactions” to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The $7.0 million promissory note requires monthly and periodic interest payments and remains outstanding as of June 30, 2011. The $7.0 million line of credit contains reporting, financial and operating covenants, the breach of any of which could result in the full amount outstanding thereunder being immediately due and payable. The $7.0 million line of credit also requires that Costa Brava consent to certain future financings.

In February 2011, the Company sold 712,121 shares of its common stock to Harlingwood (Alpha), LLC in exchange for $1,174,999, or $1.65 per share.

In June 2011, O21NA entered into a $6.0 million line of credit commitment with Costa Brava and had outstanding borrowings thereunder evidenced by a promissory note in the amount of $2.5 million as of June 30, 2011. Interest on the outstanding borrowings under the $6.0 million line of credit accrues daily at a rate equal to 12% per annum. In addition, the line of credit requires that O21NA pay a facility fee on each of June 21, 2012, June 21, 2013 and on the maturity date, calculated as the lesser of (i) 1% of the average daily outstanding principal amount owed under the note for the 365 day period ending on June 21, 2012, 2013 and 2014 or (ii) $60,000. The outstanding debt under the line of credit matures on June 21, 2014. See also Notes 7 “Financing Arrangements” and 11 “Related Party Transactions” to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The $6.0 million line of credit requires monthly and periodic interest payments.

Capital Requirements and Resources

The Company incurred significant negative cash flow from operations and net losses during the year ended December 31, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010. In addition to its net losses during those respective periods, the Company had significant working capital requirements because, among other reasons, (i) the Company purchased inventory in anticipation of sales growth that did not occur and (ii) the Company was subject to minimum purchase commitments and made non-cancellable purchase orders pursuant to the Company’s agreements with LEM and its other suppliers, which the Company was unable to adjust when sales did not meet anticipated levels. Although the Company experienced sales growth during the three months ended June 30, 2011 (excluding $1.1 million in LEM sales due to the sale of LEM on December 31, 2010), it did not achieve its anticipated net sales during the three months ended March 31, 2011. Further, the Company’s sales were essentially flat in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010 (excluding the impact of LEM sales of $2.0 million). The Company anticipates that it will continue to have significant working capital requirements and higher than desired levels of inventory for the foreseeable future, in part because of ongoing minimum purchase requirements, previously placed non-cancellable purchase orders with its suppliers and the level of the Company’s anticipated sales.

The Company relies on its credit lines with BFI, Banca Popolare di Bergamo and Costa Brava in addition to the $7.0 million Costa Brava loan (see Note 7 “Financing Arrangements”). BFI may, however, reduce O21NA’s borrowing availability in certain circumstances, including, without limitation, if in its reasonable business judgment, O21NA’s creditworthiness, sales or the liquidation value of O21NA’s inventory have declined materially. Further the BFI Loan Agreement provides that BFI may declare O21NA in default if O21NA experiences a material adverse change in its business or financial condition or if BFI determines that O21NA’s ability to perform under the Loan Agreement is materially impaired.

The Company anticipates that it will need additional capital during the next twelve months to support its planned operations, and intends to borrow more on its lines of credit from Costa Brava and BFI, provided they remain available and on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company is able to achieve some or a combination of the following factors: (i) achieve anticipated net sales growth, (ii) improve its working capital management, (iii) decrease its current and anticipated inventory to lower levels and/or (iv) improve or maintain management of the Company’s operating expenses, the Company believes that the Company should have sufficient cash on hand and available loan facilities to enable the Company to meet its operating requirements for at least the next 12 months.

The level of the Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including some or a combination of the following: (i) its ability to grow and maintain net sales, (ii) its ability to significantly improve its management of working capital, and/or (iii) maintain or reduce its expenses and expected capital expenditures. The continued perception of uncertainty in the world’s economy may adversely impact the Company’s access to capital through its credit lines and other sources. The current economic environment could also cause lenders and other counterparties who provide credit to the Company to breach their obligations to the Company, which could include, without limitation, lenders or other financial services companies failing to fund required borrowings under the Company’s credit arrangements.

The Company’s access to additional financing will depend on a variety of factors (many of which the Company has little or no control over) such as market conditions, the general availability of credit, the overall availability of credit to its industry, its credit ratings and credit capacity, as well as the possibility that lenders could develop a negative perception of its long-term or short-term financial prospects. If future financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to fund its planned operations, which could have an adverse effect on its business.

NASDAQ Deficiency

On September 16, 2009, the Company received a notice from NASDAQ indicating that, for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of its common stock had closed below the $1.00 minimum bid price required for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market under Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2). Pursuant to Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company had 180 calendar days from the date of the notice, or until March 15, 2010, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock had to be at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, which was not achieved. On March 16, 2010, the Company received a letter from NASDAQ indicating that it had not regained compliance with the minimum bid price rule and was not eligible for an additional 180 day compliance period given that the Company did not meet the NASDAQ Capital Market initial listing standard set forth in Listing Rule 5505. Accordingly, the Company’s Common Stock was suspended from trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market on March 25, 2010 and is now traded in the over-the-counter market.

 

2. Recently Issued Accounting Principles

There are no recently issued accounting principles subsequent to the Company’s disclosure in the Annual Report on Form 10-K which would have a significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

3. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by including the additional shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants and upon vesting of restricted stock, using the treasury stock method. The following table lists the potentially dilutive equity instruments, each convertible into one share of common stock, used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the periods presented:

7. Financing Arrangements

Credit Facilities – San Paolo

The Company had a 0.6 million Euros line of credit in Italy with San Paolo IMI for LEM. Borrowing availability was based on eligible accounts receivable and export orders received at LEM. LEM was deconsolidated on December 31, 2010; therefore the balance in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet is zero at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. See Note 1, “Deconsolidation of LEM” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Credit Facilities – Banca Popolare di Bergamo

The Company has two lines of credit with Banca Popolare di Bergamo in Italy for O21 Europe, one for a maximum of 150,000 Euros, subject to eligible accounts receivable, and one for 10,000 Euros. Both lines of credit are guaranteed by Eurofidi, a government-sponsored third party that guarantees debt, and expire on March 19, 2012.

The lines of credit balances at June 30, 2011 were zero. The lines of credit balances at December 31, 2010 were 124,000 Euros (US$166,000) and zero, respectively, and bear interest of 4.5%. Availability under these lines of credit at June 30, 2011 was 150,000 Euros (approximately US$216,000) and 10,000 Euros (approximately US$14,000), respectively.

Credit Facilities – BFI

On February 26, 2007, O21NA entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with BFI Business Finance (the “Loan Agreement”) with a maximum borrowing capacity of $5.0 million, which was subsequently modified on December 7, 2007 and February 12, 2008 to, among other things, extend the maximum borrowing capacity to $8.0 million. Effective April 30, 2010, the maximum borrowing capacity was reduced to $7.0 million for a reduction in inventory maximum advance levels. Actual borrowing availability under the Loan Agreement is based on eligible trade receivable and inventory levels of O21NA. Loans extended pursuant to the Loan Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate as reported in the Western Edition of The Wall Street Journal from time to time plus 2.5% with a minimum monthly interest charge of $2,000. O21NA granted BFI a security interest in substantially all of O21NA’s assets as security for its obligations under the Loan Agreement. Additionally, the obligations under the Loan Agreement are guaranteed by O21NA. The Loan Agreement renews annually in February for one additional year unless otherwise terminated by either O21NA or by BFI. The Loan Agreement renewed in February 2011 until February 2012.

The Loan Agreement imposes certain covenants on O21NA, including, but not limited to, covenants requiring O21NA to provide certain periodic reports to BFI, inform BFI of certain changes in the business, refrain from incurring additional debt in excess of $100,000 and refrain from paying dividends. Further, the Loan Agreement provides that BFI may declare O21NA in default if O21NA experiences a material adverse change in its business or financial condition or if BFI determines that O21NA’s ability to perform under the Loan Agreement is materially impaired. BFI’s prior consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, is required in the event that O21NA seeks additional debt financing, including debt financing subordinate to BFI. O21NA also established a bank account in BFI’s name into which collections on accounts receivable and other collateral are deposited (the “Collateral Account”). Pursuant to the deposit control account agreement between O21NA and BFI with respect to the Collateral Account, BFI is entitled to sweep all amounts deposited into the Collateral Account and apply the funds to outstanding obligations under the Loan Agreement; provided that BFI is required to distribute to O21NA any amounts remaining after payment of all amounts due under the Loan Agreement. O21NA was in compliance with the covenants under the Loan Agreement at June 30, 2011.

Table of Contents

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were outstanding borrowings of $1.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively, under the Loan Agreement. At June 30, 2011, the remaining availability under this line was $2.7 million and the interest rate was 5.84%.

Credit Facilities – Costa Brava

In December 2010, O21NA borrowed $7.0 million under a promissory note due December 31, 2012 to Costa Brava Partnership III, L.P. (“Costa Brava”), an entity that beneficially owned at June 30, 2011 approximately 45.9% of the Company’s common stock (or 49.9% on an as converted basis assuming conversion of $2,250,000 of the promissory note into common stock in accordance with its terms). The entire $7.0 million of such promissory note principal remained outstanding as of June 30, 2011. The Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, Seth Hamot, is the President and sole member of Roark, Rearden & Hamot, LLC, which is the sole general partner of Costa Brava. The promissory note replaced the $3.0 million, $1.0 million and $1.0 million promissory notes issued by O21NA to Costa Brava in March 2010, October 2010 and November 2010, respectively, as well as provided for an additional $2.0 million in new loan proceeds. The promissory note was accounted for as a modification of debt. The promissory note is subordinated to the Loan Agreement with BFI pursuant to the terms of a debt subordination agreement dated March 23, 2010 and amended on October 4, 2010, October 29, 2010, December 20, 2010, and July 11, 2011 by and between Costa Brava and BFI.

Approximately $2.6 million of the proceeds from the March 2010 promissory note were used to prepay the then current balance on the revolving line of O21NA’s credit balance with BFI in its entirety as of March 23, 2010. O21NA was permitted to re-borrow from BFI under the Loan Agreement after such payment was made. The balance of the net proceeds from O21NA’s issuance of the March 2010 promissory note as well as the proceeds from the October 2010 and November 2010 promissory notes and the additional $2.0 million proceeds from the December 2010 promissory note to Costa Brava were used for working capital purposes.

The terms and conditions of the $7.0 million promissory note are similar to those of the $3.0 million, $1.0 million and $1.0 million promissory notes. Interest on the $7.0 million promissory note accrues daily at the following rates from the date of issuance of the promissory note: (i) 9% per annum payable on the last day of each calendar month and (ii) 3% per annum payable on the maturity date. In addition, the promissory note required that O21NA pay facility fees of $41,600 upon funding of the promissory note and 1% of the original principal amount on each of December 31, 2011 and on the maturity date, December 31, 2012. During the term of the promissory note, Costa Brava may, at its discretion, convert up to $2,250,000 of the principal amount of the promissory note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $2.25 per share. The terms of the promissory note also include customary representations and warranties, as well as reporting and financial covenants, customary for financings of this type. O21NA was in compliance with the covenants under the promissory note at June 30, 2011. See also Note 11 “Related Party Transactions” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2011, O21NA entered into a $6.0 million line of credit commitment with Costa Brava and had outstanding borrowings thereunder evidenced by a promissory note in the amount of $2.5 million as of June 30, 2011. Interest on the outstanding borrowings under the $6.0 million line of credit accrues daily at a rate equal to 12% per annum. In addition, the line of credit requires that O21NA pay a facility fee on each of June 21, 2012, June 21, 2013 and on the maturity date, calculated as the lesser of (i) 1% of the average daily outstanding principal amount owed under the note for the 365 day period ending on June 21, 2012, 2013 and 2014 or (ii) $60,000. The outstanding debt under the line of credit matures on June 21, 2014. The $6.0 million line of credit requires monthly and periodic interest payments. The promissory note is subordinated to the amounts borrowed by O21NA from BFI, pursuant to the terms of a Debt Subordination Agreement, dated March 23, 2010 and amended on October 4, 2010, October 29, 2010, December 20, 2010 and June 11, 2011, by and between Costa Brava and BFI. The terms of the promissory note also include customary representations and warranties, as well as reporting and financial covenants, customary for financings of this type. O21NA was in compliance with the covenants under the promissory note at June 30, 2011. See also Note 11 “Related Party Transactions” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The total outstanding borrowings under all Costa Brava promissory notes at June 30, 2011 aggregated to $9.5 million.

9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In April 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) authoritative guidance on interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, which requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim as well as in annual financial statements. The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable and payable, short-term borrowings and accrued liabilities. The carrying amount of these instruments approximates fair value because of their short-term nature. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt, including the current portion approximates fair value as of June 30, 2011.

Intrinsic value is defined as the difference between the relevant current market value of the common stock and the grant price for options with exercise prices less than the market values on such dates. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company received cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options of approximately $51,000 and $133,000, respectively. The intrinsic value of stock options exercised was approximately $36,000 and $53,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company received $0 in cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 the Company modified 430,444 options associated with the restructuring of management in April 2011. The modification, which resulted in an extension of the term that the Company’s previous management was allowed to exercise stock options, resulted in $31,552 of incremental stock compensation expense recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

Restricted Stock Award Activity

The Company periodically issues restricted stock awards to certain directors and key employees subject to certain vesting requirements based on future service. Fair value is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model (single option approach). Although there was no restricted stock award activity during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company did award and issue 26,796 fully vested non-restricted shares at a $1.47 weighted-average grant date fair value, which resulted in approximately $39,000 of general and administrative share-based compensation expense during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

In June 2011, the Company gave notice of its intention to terminate this agreement, to be effective in August 2011.

Licensing Agreements

No minimum royalty amounts associated with the Company’s obligations for the O’Neill™ and Melodies by MJB™ eyewear brands are reflected as future commitments as of June 30, 2011 because they were accrued for in the Company’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2011 (see Note 13).

Other

The Company has a contingent obligation with respect to certain awards of stock options and common stock issued pursuant to the Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan subsequent to its delisting from NASDAQ on March 25, 2010 that may have been issued without qualification or an exemption therefrom as required by Section 25110 of the California Corporations Code. The amount of contingent liability is not determinable at this time, and as such the Company has not recorded a liability in the Company’s June 30, 2011 balance sheet. The Company currently believes that the amount of the potential liability would not be material (see Notes 1 related to “NASDAQ Deficiency” and 15).

Litigation

From time to time the Company may be party to lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceedings.

13. Other Operating Expense

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company determined that the future cash flows arising from the sale of current and future potential inventory purchases of the O’Neill™ and Melodies by MJB™ eyewear brands would not be sufficient to cover the amount of the remaining minimum royalty obligations. In addition, the Company decided to cease making future purchase orders of additional inventory. Subsequent to the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated License Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Agreement”) with Rose Colored Glasses LLC, the licensor of Melodies by MJB™, under which the Company agreed to pay Rose Colored Glasses LLC $1.0 million in July 2011 and issued a promissory note to Rose Colored Glasses LLC in the principal amount of $0.5 million. See also Note 15 “Subsequent Events” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

As a result of these actions, the Company recorded $1.9 million in expense to other operating expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, of which $0.4 million related to the O’Neill™ and $1.5 million related to the Melodies by MJB™ eyewear brands. At June 30, 2011, accrued liabilities in the Company’s balance sheet included $1.9 million related to these obligations.

 

14. Operating Segments and Geographic Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Company’s management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company designs and distributes sunglasses, snow and motocross goggles, and branded apparel and accessories for the action sports, snow sports and lifestyle markets. Prior to December 31, 2010, the Company owned a manufacturer, LEM, located in Italy. LEM manufactured products for non-competing brands in addition to a substantial amount of the Company’s sunglass products. On December 31, 2010, the Company sold 90% of the capital stock of LEM and deconsolidated it. Results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 reflect operations of this manufacturer after elimination of intercompany transactions. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company operated in two business segments: distribution and manufacturing. As a result of the deconsolidation of LEM on December 31, 2010, the Company only operates in one business segment: distribution for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

15. Subsequent Events

Settlement Agreement with Rose Colored Glasses LLC

On July 18, 2011, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated License Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Rose Colored Glasses LLC, which amends and restates the License Agreement entered into between the Company and Rose Colored Glasses LLC on May 12, 2010 (the “Original License Agreement”). Rose Colored Glasses LLC is the licensor of the Melodies by MJB™ eyewear brand licensed by the Company. The Settlement Agreement amends the Original License Agreement by providing for an earlier expiration of the Company’s license to sell Melodies by MJB™ branded sunglasses (the “License”) on March 31, 2012 and terminating the Company’s obligations to pay $2.6 million of future royalty obligations to Rose Colored Glasses LLC. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company paid Rose Colored Glasses LLC $1,000,000 in July 2011 and issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $500,000, which does not accrue interest and becomes payable on March 31, 2012. The Company accrued $1.5 million (less imputed interest on the non-interest bearing note of $44,000) in the Company’s financial statements as of June 30, 2011 (See Note 13).

Recent Grants Pursuant to the Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan

Certain of the Company’s grants of stock options and common stock pursuant to its 2004 Stock Incentive Plan since the Company was delisted from NASDAQ on March 25, 2010 were not qualified with the California Department of Corporations and may not have been exempted from the qualification requirement. Failure to qualify or exempt securities issuance is a violation of Section 25110 of the California Corporations Code. Accordingly, the Company may be subject to a contingent liability for the rescission of such awards. The amount of contingent liability is not determinable at this time, and as such the Company has not recorded a liability in the Company’s June 30, 2011 balance sheet. The Company currently believes that the amount of the potential liability would not be material (see Notes 1 related to “NASDAQ Deficiency” and 12).

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This Item 2 contains forward-looking statements regarding our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Although forward-looking statements reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by us. Consequently, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in or anticipated by the forward-looking statements. See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” at the beginning of this report.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer to Orange 21 Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise.

Overview

We are a multi-branded designer, developer, and distributor of premium sunglasses and goggles. We began as a grassroots brand in Southern California and entered the action sports and lifestyle markets with innovative and performance-driven products and an authentic connection to the action sports and lifestyle markets under the Spy Optic® brand. In February 2010, we entered a licensing agreement with Margaritaville® Eyewear, LLC to design, manufacture and sell eyewear under the brand, Margaritaville®.

We currently have one wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in Italy, Orange 21 Europe S.r.l., formerly known as Spy Optic S.r.l., and one incorporated in California, Orange 21 North America Inc. formerly known as Spy Optic, Inc. Spy Optic S.r.l. changed its name to Orange 21 Europe S.r.l. effective October 13, 2009. Spy Optic, Inc. changed its name to Orange 21 North America Inc. effective January 11, 2010.

Until December 31, 2010, we also wholly owned LEM. On December 31, 2010, we completed the sale of 90% of the capital stock of LEM to two LEM employees and two third party suppliers of LEM. We continue to hold a 10% interest in LEM. LEM was, is currently and will continue to be one of our manufacturers of sports eye glasses for several years. Due to minimum purchase commitments, we believe that there will be significant cash flows to LEM for the next two years. We have deconsolidated LEM from our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2010 and recognized a loss of $1.4 million on the transaction during the year ended December 31, 2010. Any future loss is limited to the fair value of the remaining 10% investment in LEM, $2,000.

Action Sports Lifestyle Brands

We design, develop and market premium products for the action sports, motor sports, snow sports and their attendant lifestyle markets of fashion, music and entertainment. Our principal products, sunglasses and goggles, are marketed primarily under the brand Spy®. We have built our brands by developing innovative, proprietary performance-based products that utilize high-quality materials and optical lens technology of the highest style, quality and value. Our products are estimated to be available in an estimated 2,500 retail locations in the United States and Canada, and internationally through an estimated 3,000 retail locations supported by our international staff and distributors. We have developed collaborations with important multi-store action sport, sporting goods, sunglass specialty and lifestyle retailers in the United States and Canada and other strategically selected, individually owned and operated specialty retailers focusing on the surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, snow skiing, motocross, wakeboarding and mountain biking.

For the Spy® brand, we focus our marketing and sales efforts on the action sports, motor sports, snow sports and lifestyle markets, and specifically, persons ranging in age from 17 to 35. We separate our eyewear products into two groups: sunglasses, which include fashion, performance sport and women-specific sunglasses, and goggles, which includes snow sport and motocross goggles. In addition, we sell branded sunglass and goggle accessories. In managing our business, we are particularly focused on ensuring that our product designs transcend fashion and are keyed on our knowledge of our target customers and their lifestyles, which offers a strong value proposition to our target market and is the priority of our development.

Other Lifestyle Brands

In February 2010, we further diversified our brand portfolio by partnering with Jimmy Buffett and his Margaritaville® brand for eyewear. Mr. Buffett has developed the Margaritaville® brand into a commercially successful brand platform built around the island culture lifestyle and music. The Margaritaville® brand has enjoyed a successful track record with its sales of attire, foods, spirits and party/tailgate essentials. The Margaritaville® brand attracts a diverse customer base aged 18 to 55 years with equal participation from men and women.

Deconsolidation of LEM

In January 2006, we acquired for $6.1 million all of the equity interest of LEM and consolidated it. During the fourth quarter of 2010, management and the Company’s Board of Directors determined that ownership of LEM was inconsistent with our margin improvement strategies which include sourcing a portion of our product purchases from other lower cost and high quality suppliers. Additionally, owning and operating a manufacturing facility imposed an unnecessary distraction for management, included significant fixed overhead and operating expenses, and used other Company resources. Therefore, on December 31, 2010, we completed the sale of 90% of its equity interest in LEM to two LEM employees and two third-party suppliers of LEM (“Purchasers”) in exchange for approximately $20,000. In addition, LEM secured the release of our guarantee of certain of LEM’s obligations to a third party and LEM agreed to indemnify us against any liability in connection with such guarantee. The purchase price and the other terms of the transaction were determined through arms-length negotiations between us and the Purchasers on the basis of the parties’ view of the fair value of LEM. We continue to hold a 10% equity interest in LEM. LEM was, is currently and is expected to continue to be one of our manufacturers of sports eye glasses. The sale was pursuant to the Master Agreement between us, our wholly owned subsidiary, O21 Europe, and the Purchasers entered into on December 16, 2010. The Master Agreement provides that we will purchase a minimum amount of certain goods or services from LEM during the years ending December 31, 2011 and 2012, subject to the continued employment by LEM of the two employees that were a part of the Purchasers.

The minimum purchase amount for the year ending December 31, 2011 is €3,717,617. Converted into United States dollars at the spot exchange rates in effect at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and taking into account purchases made through June 30, 2011, the remaining minimum purchase amount converted to US$ was US$2,784,383 and US$4,968,595 as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The minimum purchase amount for the year ended December 31, 2012 is €1,858,808. Converted into United States dollars, the minimum purchase amount was US$2,675,011 and US$2,484,297 as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. In the event the Company does not meet the minimum purchase amounts indicated above, the Company has the obligation to pay LEM in cash an amount equal to €0.37 for each Euro of goods and/or services of the minimum purchase amounts not purchased by the Company prior to December 31, 2011. The Company has non-cancellable open purchase orders to LEM of approximately €738,000 (US$1,062,056) as of June 30, 2011, from which it anticipates delivery prior to December 31, 2011.

Due to the minimum purchase commitments, the Company believes that there will be significant cash flows to LEM for the two years, subsequent to the December 31 2010 date of sale, and in accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company has included the results of operations of LEM in the Consolidated Statement of Operations during 2010 and not as a discontinued operation. The Company has deconsolidated LEM from its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2010 and has recognized a loss of $1.4 million on the transaction during the year ended December 31, 2010, as calculated below.

   $ 1,441   
  

 

 

 

Any future loss is limited to the fair value of the remaining 10% investment in LEM, $2,000. Based on the Company’s evaluation of current accounting guidance, it was determined that the Company did not maintain significant influence over LEM and, accordingly, has recorded the remaining 10% interest in LEM in accordance with the cost method. Based on the Company’s lack of ability to influence, lack of a role in policy and decision making, no further guarantee over LEM’s debt and resignation of Board of Directors seat, the Company concluded that it would not be appropriate to account for such investment in consolidation under the equity method of accounting.

Results of Operations

Note Regarding Pro Forma Information in Period Over Period Comparisons

In our period over period comparisons presented in the analysis below, we have included data and discussion regarding (i) our financial results as reported in our consolidated financial statements (which includes the operating results of LEM for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010 but not for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011) and (ii) our financial results that excludes the operating results of LEM for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010 (which corresponds to the pro forma information presented in footnote 1 to our financial statements on page 8 and in our Management Discussion and Analysis on page 23). References below to “pro forma” information refer to the financial data excluding the operating results for LEM for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010 that corresponds to the pro forma financial information presented on pages 8 and 23. Please also see pages 7 and 22 for an explanation of the deconsolidation of LEM and the related accounting. We believe presentation of the pro forma financial data (which is required to be presented in footnotes to the consolidated financial statements) is useful to understand how the Company has performed in the most recent operating periods compared to the Company’s performance as if LEM were not included in its operating results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

Net Sales

Consolidated net sales decreased by $0.5 million (6%) to $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $9.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, due to revenue included from the sales of product LEM manufactured for third parties during the three months ended June 30, 2010.

On a pro forma basis, consolidated net sales during the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $8.4 million, which excludes sales attributable to LEM of $1.1 million during that period. On a pro forma basis, consolidated net sales increased by $0.6 million to $9.0 million (7%) for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. Closeout sales decreased approximately $0.1 million while sales of core Spy® and licensed products in North America and International increased by $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to June 30, 2010. Sales of our licensed brands included in North America and International remained modest during the three months ended June 30, 2011, but did contribute to our overall sales growth on a pro forma basis since there were relatively insignificant sales during the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Sunglass sales represented approximately 91% and 90% of net sales during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Goggle sales represented approximately 8% and 9% of net sales during each of the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Apparel and accessories represented approximately less than 1% of net sales during each of the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Domestic net sales represented 90% and 81% of total net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Foreign net sales represented 10% and 19% of total net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, due to the deconsolidation of LEM. The Company experienced sales growth in North America and internationally (excluding the impact of the LEM deconsolidation).

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

Our consolidated gross profit decreased by $0.6 million (11%) to $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $5.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to the sale of LEM on December 31, 2010. On a pro forma basis (excluding LEM 2010 gross profit of $0.9 million, which amount includes related intercompany gross profit eliminations), gross profit increased by $0.3 million (6%) to $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, consistent with the sales growth rate during the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to June 30, 2010.

Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 54% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from 58% for the three months ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to the sale of LEM on December 31, 2010. On a pro forma basis, gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 55% for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 54% for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The 1 percentage point decrease in our gross margin percent on a pro forma basis was primarily due to (i) increased inventory reserves primarily of the Melodies by MJB™ eyewear brand, and (ii) the impact of modest changes in customer and product mix during the three months ended June 30, 2011. These decreases were partially offset by the positive effect on gross profit of selling inventory during the three months ended June 30, 2011 that was originally purchased in 2010 at historical manufacturing cost and is being sold on a FIFO basis prior to generally higher cost purchases made from LEM during 2011.

Sales and Marketing Expense

Sales and marketing expense increased by $0.3 million (16%) to $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Sales and marketing expense included $0.1 million related to LEM during the three months ended June 30, 2010 such that sales and marketing expense was $2.2 million on a pro forma basis or an increase of $0.4 million when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011. The $0.4 million increase on a pro forma basis included: (i) a $0.2 million increase in marketing related expenses primarily for additions in headcount, and (ii) a $0.2 million increase in sales incentives and commissions associated with the sales growth.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense increased by $0.7 million (38%) to $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. General and administrative expense included $0.4 million related to LEM during the three months ended June 30, 2010, such that general and administrative expense was $1.5 million on a pro forma basis or an increase of $1.1 million when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase was largely due to the restructuring of our management in April 2011 and related costs during the three months ended June 30, 2011. The $1.1 million increase on a pro forma basis included: (i) a $0.5 million increase in severance costs, (ii) a $0.3 million increase in stock based compensation due to the Regent Pacific warrant and stock option modifications, (iii) a $0.2 million increase in legal costs primarily associated with the restructuring of management and related corporate affairs, and (iv) $0.1 million of other costs.

Shipping and Warehousing Expense

Shipping and warehousing expense decreased by $0.1 million (48%) to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. This decrease was primarily due to the sale of LEM which had $0.1 million of shipping and warehousing expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense decreased by $0.2 million (63%) to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 from $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to the sale of LEM which had $0.2 million of research and development expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Other Operating Expense

Other operating expense was $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and none during the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase is substantially all associated with the costs associated with the decision during the three months ended June 30, 2011 that the future cash flow from the sale of the O’Neill™ and Melodies by MJB™ eyewear products would be insufficient to cover the net present value of the remaining royalty obligations. This decision resulted in an additional $1.9 million in operating expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Other Net Expense

Other net expense was $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The difference was primarily due to increased indebtedness during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Income Tax Provision

The income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $3,000 and $47,000, respectively, and is mainly comprised of minimum taxes due in Italy. We have recorded a full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets both in the U.S. and in Italy at June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. The change in income taxes was primarily due to the income before income tax expense incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2010 at LEM compared to the loss before income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Net Income (Loss)

A net loss of $3.0 million was realized for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a net income of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The 2011 loss included other operating expense of $2.0 million primarily related to the costs associated with the decision during the three months ended June 30, 2011 that the cash flow from the sale of the O’Neill™ and Melodies by MJB™ eyewear brands would be insufficient to cover the net present value due to the remaining royalty obligations. This decision resulted in a $1.9 million charge to operations during the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

Net Sales

Consolidated net sales decreased by $2.1 million (12%) to $15.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $17.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, which is substantially all due to $2.0 million of revenue included from sales of product LEM manufactured for third parties during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

On a pro forma basis, consolidated net sales during the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $15.8 million, which excludes sales attributable to LEM of $2.0 million during that period. On a pro forma basis, consolidated net sales decreased by $0.1 million (1%) to $15.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. Closeout sales decreased approximately $0.4 million while sales of our core Spy® and licensed products in North America and International were up $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The sales decline of Spy® products during the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to March 31, 2010 was almost entirely offset on a year to date basis by the sales increase during the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. Sales of our licensed brands included in North America and International remained modest during the six months ended June 30, 2011, but did have a positive impact on our sales trends on a pro forma basis since such sales were relatively insignificant during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Sunglass sales represented approximately 89% and 85% of net sales during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Goggle sales represented approximately 11% and 14% of net sales during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Apparel and accessories represented approximately less than 1% of net sales during each of the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. Domestic net sales represented 91% and 80% of total net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Foreign net sales represented 9% and 20% of total net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, primarily due to the deconsolidation of LEM. We experienced a slight decrease in domestic sales and a slight increase in international sales (excluding the impact of the LEM deconsolidation).

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

Our consolidated gross profit decreased by $0.9 million (10%) to $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to the sale of LEM on December 31, 2010. On a pro forma basis (excluding LEM 2010 gross profit of $1.7 million, which amount includes intercompany gross profit eliminations), gross profit increased by $0.8 million (10%) to $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 53% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from 52% for the six months ended June 30, 2010. On a pro forma basis, gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 48% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to 53% for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The 5 percentage point increase in our gross margin percent on a pro forma basis was primarily due to (i) favorable changes in customer and product mix, (ii) the positive effect on gross profit of selling inventory during the six months ended June 30, 2011 that was originally purchased in 2010 at historical manufacturing cost and is being sold on a FIFO basis prior to generally higher cost purchases made from LEM during 2011, and partially offset by (iii) the negative impact of increased inventory reserves of the O’Neill™ and Melodies by MJB™ eyewear brands in 2011.

Sales and Marketing Expense

Sales and marketing expense increased by $1.1 million (27%) to $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Sales and marketing expense included $0.2 million related to LEM during the six months ended June 30, 2010 such that sales and marketing expense would have been $4.1 million on a pro forma basis or an increase of $1.3 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011. The $1.3 million increase on a pro forma basis included: (i) a $0.3 million increase in marketing related expenses primarily for additions in headcount, (ii) a $0.2 million increase in sales incentives and commissions associated with the pro forma sales growth during the three months ended June 30, 2011, (iii) a $0.4 million increase in royalties associated with the O’Neill™ and Melodies by MJB™ eyewear products and athletes, and (iv) a $0.4 million increase in advertising, public relations, marketing events, and related marketing costs.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense increased by $0.4 million (11%) to $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. General and administrative expense included $0.7 million related to LEM during the six months ended June 30, 2010, such that general and administrative expense would have been $3.2 million on a pro forma basis or an increase of $1.1 million when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011. The $1.1 million increase on a pro forma basis was largely due to the restructuring of our management in April 2011 and related costs during the three months ended June 30, 2011. The $1.1 million increase on a pro forma basis included: (i) a $0.5 million increase in severance costs, (ii) a $0.3 million increase in stock based compensation due to the Regent Pacific warrant and stock option modifications, and (iii) a $0.3 million increase in legal costs primarily associated with the restructuring of management and related corporate affairs.

Shipping and warehousing expense decreased by $0.3 million (49%) to $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 due to the sale of LEM, which had $0.3 million of shipping and warehousing expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense decreased by $0.5 million (61%) to $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to (i) the sale of LEM which had $0.4 million of research and development expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and (ii) a decrease in R&D activity associated with the spending related to O’Neill™ and Melodies by MJB™ eyewear brands during the six months ended June 30, 2011

Other Operating Expense

Other operating expense was $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and none during the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase is substantially all due to the decision during the three months ended June 30, 2011 that the cash flow from the sale of the O’Neill™ and Melodies by MJB™ eyewear brands would be insufficient to cover the net present value due to the remaining royalty obligations. This decision resulted in an additional $1.9 million in operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Other Net Expense

Other net expense was $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to other net expense of $0.2 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The difference was primarily due to increased interest expense as a result of our increased indebtedness during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Income Tax Provision

The income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $6,000 and $76,000, respectively, and is mainly comprised of minimum taxes due in Italy. We have recorded a full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets both in the U.S. and in Italy at June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively.

Net Income (Loss)

A net loss of $4.5 million was incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to a net loss of $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We finance our working capital needs and capital expenditures through a combination of operating cash flows and bank revolving lines of credit supplied by banks in the U.S. and in Italy, but have also required debt and equity financing because cash used by operations has been substantial due to ongoing losses and other factors, including higher than anticipated inventory levels. During 2010, we borrowed $7.0 million from our largest shareholder, Costa Brava Partnership III, L.P., entered into capital leases

for certain long-term asset purchases, and issued other long-term debt to supplement our lines of credit. In February 2011, we raised $1.2 million from the sale of shares of our common stock. In June 2011, we entered into a $6.0 million line of credit with Costa Brava and had borrowed $2.5 million as of June 30, 2011. As of June 30, 2011, we had a total of $11.1 million in debt under lines of credit, capital leases and notes payable. We recorded approximately $0.6 million in interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2011. Cash on hand at June 30, 2011 was $0.7 million.

Cash Flow Activities

Cash Used in Operating Activities. Cash used in operating activities consists primarily of net loss or loss adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation, amortization, deferred income taxes, provision for bad debts, share-based compensation expense, other operating expense and the effect of changes in working capital and other activities.

Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $2.3 million, which consisted of a net loss of $4.5 million, adjustments for non-cash items of approximately $3.1 million and approximately $0.9 million used in working capital and other activities. Included in the net loss is $2.0 million of other operating expense primarily related to the decision that the future cash flows from the sale of the O’Neill™ and Melodies by MJB™ eyewear brands would be insufficient to cover the net present value of the remaining minimum royalties. Working capital and other activities includes a $1.3 million increase in accounts receivable due to increased sales and timing of cash receipts combined with a $0.1 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses reductions, offset by a $0.4 million reduction in net inventories.

Cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $2.9 million, which consisted of a net loss of $0.5 million, adjustments for non-cash items of approximately $1.2 million and approximately $3.6 million used in working capital and other activities. Working capital and other activities includes a $1.7 million increase primarily due to purchasing inventory in anticipation of sales growth that did not occur. Accounts receivable included an increase of $1.0 million due to increased sales and timing of cash receipts and a $0.8 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to timing of invoices received and payments.

Cash Used in Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $0.1 million and was primarily attributable to the purchase of property and equipment.

Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $0.3 million and was attributable to the purchase of fixed assets at LEM (including plant equipment, vehicles, computer and software equipment, leasehold improvements and molds), purchases at Orange 21 Europe (including computer software and point-of-purchase displays), and purchases at Orange 21 North America (including molds, a vehicle and computer hardware and software).

Cash Provided by Financing Activities. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $2.9 million and was primarily attributable to $2.5 million in proceeds received from the issuance of a promissory note to shareholder Costa Brava Partnership III, L.P., $1.1 million in proceeds received from the sale of common stock to Harlingwood (Alpha), LLC and $0.1 million in proceeds received from the exercise of stock options, offset by $0.9 million in net repayments on our lines of credit.

Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $2.8 million and was attributable to $3.0 million in proceeds received from the issuance of a promissory note to shareholder Costa Brava Partnership III, L.P. and $0.1 million in net borrowings on our lines of credit, which were partly offset by $0.2 million for notes payable and capital lease principal payments.

Credit Facilities

San Paolo. We had a 0.6 million Euros line of credit in Italy with San Paolo IMI for LEM. Borrowing availability was based on eligible accounts receivable and export orders received at LEM. LEM was deconsolidated on December 31, 2010; therefore the balance in our Consolidated Balance Sheet is zero at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Banca Popolare di Bergamo. We have two lines of credit with Banca Popolare di Bergamo in Italy for O21 Europe, one for a maximum of 150,000 Euros, subject to eligible accounts receivable, and one for 10,000 Euros. Both lines of credit are guaranteed by Eurofidi, a government-sponsored third party that guarantees debt, and expire on March 19, 2012.

Table of Contents

The lines of credit balances at June 30, 2011 were zero. The lines of credit balances at December 31, 2010 were 124,000 Euros (US$166,000) and zero, respectively, and bear interest of 4.5%. Availability under these lines of credit at June 30, 2011 was 150,000 Euros (approximately US$216,000) and 10,000 Euros (approximately US$14,000), respectively.

BFI. On February 26, 2007, O21NA entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with BFI Business Finance (the “Loan Agreement”) with a maximum borrowing capacity of $5.0 million, which was subsequently modified on December 7, 2007 and February 12, 2008 to, among other things, extend the maximum borrowing capacity to $8.0 million. Effective April 30, 2010, the maximum borrowing capacity was reduced to $7.0 million for a reduction in inventory maximum advance levels. Actual borrowing availability under the Loan Agreement is based on eligible trade receivable and inventory levels of O21NA. Loans extended pursuant to the Loan Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate as reported in the Western Edition of The Wall Street Journal from time to time plus 2.5% with a minimum monthly interest charge of $2,000. O21NA granted BFI a security interest in substantially all of O21NA’s assets as security for its obligations under the Loan Agreement. Additionally, the obligations under the Loan Agreement are guaranteed by O21NA. The Loan Agreement renews annually in February for one additional year unless otherwise terminated by either O21NA or by BFI. The Loan Agreement renewed in February 2011 until February 2012.

The Loan Agreement imposes certain covenants on O21NA, including, but not limited to, covenants requiring O21NA to provide certain periodic reports to BFI, inform BFI of certain changes in the business, refrain from incurring additional debt in excess of $100,000 and refrain from paying dividends. Further, the Loan Agreement provides that BFI may declare O21NA in default if O21NA experiences a material adverse change in its business or financial condition or if BFI determines that O21NA’s ability to perform under the Loan Agreement is materially impaired. BFI’s prior consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, is required in the event that O21NA seeks additional debt financing, including debt financing subordinate to BFI. O21NA also established a bank account in BFI’s name into which collections on accounts receivable and other collateral are deposited (the “Collateral Account”). Pursuant to the deposit control account agreement between O21NA and BFI with respect to the Collateral Account, BFI is entitled to sweep all amounts deposited into the Collateral Account and apply the funds to outstanding obligations under the Loan Agreement; provided that BFI is required to distribute to O21NA any amounts remaining after payment of all amounts due under the Loan Agreement. O21NA was in compliance with the covenants under the Loan Agreement at June 30, 2011.

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were outstanding borrowings of $1.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively, under the Loan Agreement. At June 30, 2011, the remaining availability under this line was $2.7 million and the interest rate was 5.84%.

Costa Brava. In December 2010, O21NA borrowed $7.0 million under a promissory note due December 31, 2012 to Costa Brava Partnership III, L.P. (“Costa Brava”), an entity that beneficially owned at June 30, 2011 approximately 45.9% of the Company’s common stock (or 49.9% on an as converted basis assuming conversion of $2,250,000 of the promissory note in accordance with its terms). The entire $7.0 million of such promissory note principal remains outstanding as of June 30, 2011. The Chairman of our Board of Directors, Seth Hamot, is the President and sole member of Roark, Rearden & Hamot, LLC, which is the sole general partner of Costa Brava. The promissory note replaced the $3.0 million, $1.0 million and $1.0 million promissory notes issued by O21NA to Costa Brava in March 2010, October 2010 and November 2010, respectively, as well as provided for an additional $2.0 million in new loan proceeds. The promissory note was accounted for as a modification of debt. The promissory note is subordinated to the Loan Agreement with BFI pursuant to the terms of a debt subordination agreement dated March 23, 2010 and amended on October 4, 2010, October 29, 2010 and December 20, 2010, by and between Costa Brava and BFI.

Approximately $2.6 million of the proceeds from the March 2010 promissory note were used to prepay the then current balance on the revolving line of O21NA’s credit balance with BFI in its entirety as of March 23, 2010. O21NA was permitted to re-borrow from BFI under the Loan Agreement after such payment was made. The balance of the net proceeds from O21NA’s issuance of the March 2010 promissory note as well as the proceeds from the October 2010 and November 2010 promissory notes and the additional $2.0 million proceeds from the December 2010 promissory note to Costa Brava were used for working capital purposes.

The terms and conditions of the $7.0 million promissory note are similar to those of the $3.0 million, $1.0 million and $1.0 million promissory notes. Interest on the $7.0 million promissory note accrues daily at the following rates from the date of issuance of the promissory note: (i) 9% per annum payable on the last day of each calendar month and (ii) 3% per annum payable on the maturity date. In addition, the promissory note required that O21NA pay facility fees of $41,600 upon funding of the promissory note and 1% of the original principal amount on each of December 31, 2011 and on the maturity date, December 31, 2012. During the term of the promissory note, Costa Brava may, at its discretion, convert up to $2,250,000 of the principal amount of the promissory note into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $2.25 per share. The terms of the promissory note also include customary representations and warranties, as well as reporting and financial covenants, customary for financings of this type. O21NA was in compliance with the covenants under the promissory note at June 30, 2011.

Table of Contents

In June 2011, O21NA entered into a $6.0 million line of credit commitment with Costa Brava and had outstanding borrowings thereunder evidenced by a promissory note in the amount of $2.5 million as of June 30, 2011. Interest on the outstanding borrowings under the $6.0 million line of credit accrues daily at a rate equal to 12% per annum. In addition, the line of credit requires that O21NA pay a facility fee on each of June 21, 2012, June 21, 2013 and on the maturity date, calculated as the lesser of (i) 1% of the average daily outstanding principal amount owed under the note for the 365 day period ending on June 21, 2012, 2013 and 2014 or (ii) $60,000. The outstanding debt under the line of credit mature on June 21, 2014. The $6.0 million line of credit requires monthly and periodic interest payments. The promissory note is subordinated to the amounts borrowed by O21NA from BFI, pursuant to the terms of a Debt Subordination Agreement, dated March 23, 2010 and amended on October 4, 2010, October 29, 2010, December 20, 2010 and June 11, 2011, by and between Costa Brava and BFI. The terms of the promissory note also include customary representations and warranties, as well as reporting and financial covenants, customary for financings of this type. O21NA was in compliance with the covenants under the promissory note at June 30, 2011.

The total outstanding borrowings under all Costa Brava promissory notes at June 30, 2011 aggregated $9.5 million.

Capital Requirements

We incurred significant negative cash flow from operations and net losses during the year ended December 31, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010. In addition to our net losses during those respective periods, we had significant working capital requirements because, among other reasons, (i) we purchased inventory in anticipation of sales growth that did not occur and (ii) we were subject to minimum purchase commitments and/or made non-cancellable purchase orders pursuant to our agreements with LEM and its other suppliers, which we were unable to adjust when sales did not meet anticipated levels. Although we experienced sales growth during the three months ended June 30, 2011 (excluding $1.1 million in LEM sales due to the sale of LEM on December 31, 2010), we did not achieve our anticipated net sales during the three months ended March 31, 2011. Further, our sales were essentially flat in the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010 (excluding the impact of LEM sales of $2.0 million). We anticipate that we will continue to have significant working capital requirements and higher than desired levels of inventory for the foreseeable future, in part because of ongoing minimum purchase requirements, previously placed non-cancellable purchase orders with our suppliers and the level of our anticipated sales.

We rely on our credit lines with BFI, Banca Popolare di Bergamo and Costa Brava in addition to the $7.0 million Costa Brava loan. BFI may, however, reduce O21NA’s borrowing availability in certain circumstances, including, without limitation, if in its reasonable business judgment, O21NA’s creditworthiness, sales or the liquidation value of O21NA’s inventory have declined materially. Further, the BFI Loan Agreement provides that BFI may declare O21NA in default if O21NA experiences a material adverse change in its business or financial condition or if BFI determines that O21NA’s ability to perform under the Loan Agreement is materially impaired.

We anticipate that we will need additional capital during the next twelve months to support our planned operations, and intend to borrow more on its lines of credit from Costa Brava and BFI, provided they remain available and on terms acceptable to us. If we are able to achieve some or a combination of the following factors: (i) anticipated net sales growth, (ii) improve our working capital management, (iii) decrease our current and anticipated inventory to lower levels and/or (iv) improve or maintain management of our operating expenses, we believe that we should have sufficient cash on hand and available loan facilities to enable us to meet our operating requirements for at least the next 12 months.

The level of our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including some or a combination of the following: (i) our ability to grow and maintain net sales, (ii) our ability to significantly improve our management of working capital and/or (iii) maintain or reduce our expenses and expected capital expenditures. The continued perception of uncertainty in the world’s economy may adversely impact our access to capital through our credit lines and other sources. The current economic environment could also cause lenders and other counterparties who provide credit to us to breach their obligations to us, which could include, without limitation, lenders or other financial services companies failing to fund required borrowings under the our credit arrangements.

Our access to additional financing will depend on a variety of factors (many of which we have little or no control over) such as market conditions, the general availability of credit, the overall availability of credit to our industry, our credit ratings and credit capacity, as well as the possibility that lenders could develop a negative perception of our long-term or short-term financial prospects. If future financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to fund our planned operations, which could have an adverse effect on our business.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We did not enter into any off-balance sheet arrangements during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, nor did we have any off-balance sheet arrangements outstanding at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Income Taxes

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the level of historical operating results and the uncertainty of the economic conditions, we have recorded a full valuation allowance for O21NA and O21 Europe.

Backlog

Historically, purchases of sunglass and motocross eyewear products have not involved significant pre-booking activity. Purchases of our snow goggle products are generally pre-booked and shipped primarily from August to October.

Seasonality

Our net sales fluctuate from quarter to quarter as a result of changes in demand for our products. Historically, we have experienced greater net sales in the second and third quarters of the fiscal year as a result of the seasonality of our products and the markets in which we sell our products, and our first and fourth fiscal quarters have traditionally been our weakest operating quarters due to seasonality. We generally sell more of our sunglass products in the first half of the fiscal year and a majority of our goggle products in the last half of the fiscal year. We anticipate that this seasonal impact on our net sales will continue. As a result, our net sales and operating results have fluctuated significantly from period to period in the past and are likely to do so in the future.

Inflation

We do not believe inflation has had a material impact on our operations in the past, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case in the future.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, net sales and expenses and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to inventories, sales returns, income taxes, accounts receivable allowances, share-based compensation, impairment testing and warranty. We base our estimates on historical experience, performance metrics and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results will differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We apply the following critical accounting policies in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

Revenue Recognition and Reserve for Returns

Our revenue is primarily generated through sales of sunglasses, goggles and apparel, net of returns and discounts. Revenue from product sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. These criteria are usually met upon delivery to our “common” carrier, which is also when the risk of ownership and title passes to our customers.

Generally, we extend credit to our customers after performing credit evaluations and do not require collateral. Our payment terms generally range from net-30 to net-90, depending on the country or whether we sell directly to retailers or to a distributor. Our distributors are typically set up as prepay accounts; however, credit may be extended to certain distributors,

Table of Contents

usually upon receipt of a letter of credit. Generally, our sales agreements with our customers, including distributors, do not provide for any rights of return or price protection. However, we do approve returns on a case-by-case basis in our sole discretion. We record an allowance for estimated returns when revenue is recorded based on historical data and make adjustments when we consider it necessary. The allowance for returns is calculated using a three step process that includes: (1) calculating an average of actual returns as a percentage of sales over a rolling twelve month period; (2) estimating the average time period between a sale and the return of the product (13.0 and 12.3 months at June 30, 2011 for O21NA and O21 Europe, respectively) and (3) estimating the value of the product returned. The reserve is calculated as the average return percentage times gross sales for the average return period less the estimated value of the product returned and adjustments are made as we consider necessary. The average return percentages at June 30, 2011, the range of the average return percentages over the past two years and the effect on the liability and net sales if the highest average percentage over the past years had been used at June 30, 2011 are shown below in our sensitivity analysis. Historically, actual returns have been within our expectations. If future returns are higher than our estimates, our earnings would be adversely affected.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Throughout the year, we perform credit evaluations of our customers, and we adjust credit limits based on payment history and the customer’s current creditworthiness. We continuously monitor our collections and maintain a reserve for estimated credits which is calculated on a monthly basis. We make judgments as to our ability to collect outstanding receivables and provide allowances for anticipated bad debts and refunds. Provisions are made based upon a review of all significant outstanding invoices and overall quality and age of those invoices not specifically reviewed. In determining the provision for invoices not specifically reviewed, we analyze collection experience, customer credit-worthiness and current economic trends.

If the data used to calculate these allowances does not reflect our future ability to collect outstanding receivables, an adjustment in the reserve for refunds may be required. Historically, our losses have been consistent with our estimates, but there can be no assurance that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that we have experienced in the past. Unforeseen, material financial difficulties experienced by our customers could have an adverse impact on our profits.

Share-based Compensation Expense

We measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award—the requisite service period. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. The grant-date fair value of employee share options and similar instruments is estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those instruments.

Determining Fair Value of Stock Option Grants

Valuation and Amortization Method. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model (single option approach) to calculate the fair value of stock option grants. For options with graded vesting, the option grant is treated as a single award and compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the entire award.

 

-33-


Table of Contents

Expected Term. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that the option is expected to be outstanding. We estimate the expected term of the option grants based on historical exercise patterns that we believe to be representative of future behavior as well as other various factors.

Expected Volatility. We estimate our volatility using our historical share price performance over the expected life of the options, which management believes is materially indicative of expectations about expected future volatility.

Risk-Free Interest Rate. We use risk-free interest rates in the Black-Scholes option valuation model that are based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options.

Dividend Rate. We have not paid dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, we use an expected dividend yield of zero.

Forfeitures. The FASB requires companies to estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and revise those estimates in subsequent reporting periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We use historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and records share-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest.

Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of raw materials and finished products, including sunglasses, goggles, apparel and accessories, product components such as replacement lenses and purchasing and quality control costs. Inventory items are carried on the books at the lower of cost or market using the weighted average cost method for LEM and first-in first-out method for our distribution business. Periodic physical counts of inventory items are conducted to help verify the balance of inventory.

A reserve is maintained for obsolete or slow moving inventory. Products are reserved at certain percentages based on their probability of selling, which is estimated based on current and estimated future customer demands and market conditions. Historically, there has been variability in the amount of write offs, compared to estimated reserves. These estimates could vary significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from actual experience if future economic conditions, levels of consumer demand, customer inventory or competitive conditions differ from expectations.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed at each balance sheet date for temporary differences between the consolidated financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to affect taxable income. We consider future taxable income and ongoing, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the value of our deferred tax assets. If we determine that it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized, we will reduce the value of these assets to their expected realizable value, thereby decreasing our net income. Evaluating the value of these assets is necessarily based on our management’s judgment. If we subsequently determine that the deferred tax assets, which had been written down, would be realized in the future, the value of the deferred tax assets would be increased, thereby increasing net income in the period when that determination was made.

We have established a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets in each jurisdiction where we cannot conclude that it is more likely than not that those assets will be realized. In the event that actual results differ from our forecasts or we adjust the forecast or assumptions in the future, the change in the valuation allowance could have a significant impact on future income tax expense.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and foreign jurisdictions. In the ordinary course of our business, there are calculations and transactions, including transfer pricing, where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. In addition, changes in tax laws and regulations as well as adverse judicial rulings could materially affect the income tax provision.

Foreign Currency and Derivative Instruments

The functional currency of each of our foreign wholly owned subsidiaries and O21 Europe, is the respective local currency. Accordingly, we are exposed to transaction gains and losses that could result from changes in foreign currency. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate for the period. Gains and losses from translation of foreign subsidiary financial statements are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act)) as of June 30, 2011, the end of the period covered by this report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time frames specified by the SEC’s rules and forms. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2011.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described above that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time we may be party to lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The risk factors set forth below update the risk factors in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. In addition to the risk factors below, you should carefully consider the other risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, any of which could also materially affect our business, financial position and results of operations.

The level of our future capital needs are uncertain and we may need to raise additional funds in the future which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all.

The level of our capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

 

   

acceptance of and demand for our products;

 

   

the costs of developing and marketing new products;

 

   

our ability to better control inventory levels to correspond to product sales rates;

 

   

the extent to which we invest in new product development; and

 

   

costs associated with the growth of our business.

We have incurred significant losses and negative cash flow from operations, including during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

We anticipate that we will need additional capital during the next twelve months to support our planned operations, and intend to borrow more on its existing lines of credit from Costa Brava and BFI, provided they remain available and on terms acceptable to the Company. If we are able to achieve anticipated net sales, improve our working capital management, decrease our inventory to lower levels and improve management of our operating expenses, we believe that we should have sufficient cash on hand and available loan facilities to enable the Company to meet our operating requirements for at least the next 12 months.

The level of our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including our ability to grow and maintain net sales and our ability to manage working capital, expenses and expected capital expenditures. The continued perception of uncertainty in the world’s economy may adversely impact our access to capital through our credit lines and other sources. The current economic environment could also cause lenders and other counterparties who provide credit to the us to breach their obligations to us, which could include, without limitation, lenders or other financial services companies failing to fund required borrowings under the our credit arrangements.
