Although our companies are incorporated in New Zealand, Nevada, Israel, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Canada, and Brazil, our operations are currently run from our Wayne, Pennsylvania office.

We develop, market and sell products through a multi-channel distribution strategy, including direct response television, digital marketing campaigns, live home shopping, traditional retail and e-commerce market places, and our international third-party distributor network. We offer primarily health, beauty and wellness products as well as various consumer products, including no!no!®, a Thermicon® hair removal device, DermaWand®, a skin care device that reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and helps improve skin tone and texture, DermaVital®, a professional quality skin care line that effects superior hydration, the CoralActives^® brand of acne treatment and skin cleansing products, DermaBrilliance®, a skin care resurfacing device that helps reduce visible signs of aging, and Jidue®, a facial massager device which helps alleviate stress. We acquire the rights to our products that we market primarily via licensing agreements, acquisition and in-house development and sell both domestically and internationally. We are presently exploring other devices and consumable product lines currently under licensing agreements.

The goal of our strategy is to introduce our brands to the market through an omni-channel platform that includes but is not limited to direct to consumer, live home shopping, traditional retail, e-commerce market places, Hong Kong airlines, and international third-party distributor networks. Our objective is to have our portfolio of products sold through these channels to develop long lasting brands with strong returns on investments.

Liquidity and Going Concern

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. We had a net loss of approximately $2,012,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and negative cash flows from operating activities of approximately $347,000. In addition, we have an accumulated deficit of approximately $18,917,000 as of September 30, 2018. Additional financing will be required for the Company to successfully implement its long-term growth strategy.

To increase profitability throughout the remainder of 2018 and 2019 and to maintain sufficient cash flow and liquidity, we continue to optimize media expenses to increase profitable sales,and have eliminated several positions within the Company throughout the year including our inhouse legal counsel position. We have also combined the marketing department with the operations team to improve internal efficiencies and decrease overhead costs. We continue to analyze our processes to determine where further overhead cost cutbacks can be made, and operations can be streamlined to further reduce expenditures.

The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of debt or equity is currently being addressed. The ability to obtain additional financing, the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of operations, or its ability to achieve profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
