Note 10. Managements Plans for Continuing Operations

The Company has earned a net profit of $1,468,525 for the three-month period ended March 30, 2013.  This profit for the three-month period ended March 30, 2013 is mainly due to gain of $2,891,917 on sale of BluScience consumer product line to NeutriSci.

 

Without the gain on sale of BluScience consumer product line, the Company incurred an operating loss of $1,416,485 for the three-month period ended March 30, 2013.  One of the factors that contributed to this loss is share-based compensation expense.  Our share-based compensation expense totaled $351,590 for the three months ended March 30, 2013.  In addition to the stock options granted to employees, the Company has been awarding shares of its common stock to non-employees as compensation of the services provided.  We also incurred an operating loss of $192,399 from BluScience operations, without the gain on sale of BluScience consumer production line.  Increase in trade accounts receivable allowance for possible future returns was the main reason for the loss from BluScience operations as the increase in allowance was treated as a reduction of revenue.  Another factor that contributed to the loss is the investment in additional personnel and marketing expenses to implement its business plan to expand the line of proprietary ingredients.  This has resulted in higher selling, marketing and patent related expenses compared to prior years.  Management has also implemented additional strategic operational structure changes, which it believes, will allow the Company to achieve profitability with future growth without incurring significant additional overhead costs.   Management’s anticipation of future growth is largely related to the demand of the line of proprietary ingredients offered by the Company.

 

By curtailing certain expenditures, management believes it will be able to support operations of the Company with its current cash and cash from operations through December, 2013.  In addition, from the sale of BluScience consumer product line, the Company expects to receive additional $1,333,334 from NeutriSci prior to December, 2013.  Also, as of March 30, 2013, the Company has 4,389,281 warrants outstanding with an exercise price of $0.21 per share.  Assuming the full exercise of the outstanding warrants for cash, the Company would receive additional proceeds of $921,749.   There can be no assurance that the holders of these warrants will exercise any of the outstanding warrants for cash, and the Company will not receive any proceeds from any of the outstanding warrants until they are exercised.

 

If the Company determines that it shall require additional financing to further enable it to achieve its long-term strategic objectives, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on terms favorable to it or at all.  If adequate financing is not available, the Company will further delay, postpone or terminate product and service expansion and curtail certain selling, general and administrative operations.  The inability to raise additional financing may have a material adverse effect on the future performance of the Company.
