PART I

ITEM 1.

BUSINESS.

Overview

As Seen On TV, Inc. (“ASTV”, “we”, or the “Company”) is a direct response marketing company and owner of AsSeenOnTV.com and eDiets.com. We identify, develop and market consumer products for global distribution via TV, Internet and retail channels. Following our February 2013 acquisition of eDiets.com, Inc. (“eDiets”), our business is organized along two segments. The As Seen On TV (“ASTV”) segment is a direct response marketing company that identifies and advises in the development and marketing of consumer products. The eDiets segment is a subscription-based nationwide weight-loss oriented digital subscription and meal delivery service. In fiscal 2013, the ASTV and eDiets segments represented approximately 92% and 8%, respectively, of our annual net revenues. Our fiscal 2013 net revenues included one month revenues from eDiets’ of approximately $794,000.

Since closing the acquisition of eDiets, we have begun implementing internal changes which, when completed, will permit us to operate as a combined organization, utilizing common information and communication systems, operating procedures, financial controls and human resources practices.

ASTV segment

ASTV generates revenues primarily from three channels: direct response sales of consumer products, sale of consumer products through a “live-shop” TV venue and ownership of the url, AsSeenOnTV.com, which operates as a web based outlet for our Company and other direct response businesses. In addition, ASTV generates limited revenue through the production of infomercials for third parties and direct response related speaking engagements.

Inventors and entrepreneurs submit products or business concepts for our review. Once we identify a suitable product or concept, we negotiate to obtain global marketing and distribution rights. These marketing and distribution agreements stipulate profit sharing, typically in the form of a royalty to the inventor or product owner. As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have marketed several products with limited success.

Industry

Direct response marketing is a form of marketing designed to solicit a direct response which is specific and quantifiable. The delivery of the response is direct between the viewer and the advertiser, as the customer responds to the marketer directly. In direct response marketing, marketers use broadcast media to get customers to contact them directly. Cable networks represent the traditional conduit for direct response television programming. Historically, direct response television programming has aired on cable networks during off-peak periods. The deregulation of the cable television industry in 1984 and the resulting proliferation of channels dedicated to particular demographic units, pursuits or lifestyles have created additional opportunities for direct response programming. We believe the continued growth of satellite and cable subscribers has positioned direct response television as an effective marketing channel with significant domestic and international growth prospects.

The leading product categories for direct response television programs include:

·

cosmetics,

·

fitness/exercise products,

·

diet/nutrition products,

·

kitchen tools and appliances,

·

self-improvement/education/motivation courses, and

·

music and home videos/DVDs.

Typically direct response television programs incorporate an infomercial in either short form (30 seconds to five minutes) or long form (approximately 30 minutes) direct response programs. The formats discuss and demonstrate products and provide a toll-free number or website for viewers to purchase. Direct response television marketing can create rapid customer awareness and brand loyalty.

As the industry has developed, the variety of products and services promoted through direct response television programs has steadily increased. Direct response television programs are now routinely used to introduce new products, drive retail traffic, schedule demonstrations and build product and brand awareness for products ranging from automobiles to mutual funds.

Recent years have also seen a convergence of direct response television programs with Internet direct response marketing. Virtually all direct response television programs now display a website in addition to a toll-free telephone number. The addition of an e-commerce component can enhance sales. We believe the principal competitive factors include authenticity of information, unique content and distinctiveness and quality of product, brand recognition and price.

Product development and marketing

We provide resources to develop consumer products from initial concepts to global distribution. We do not manufacture products. We solicit product submissions through numerous sources including inventors, product owners, design companies, manufacturers, advertising and media agencies, production houses, and trade shows. We employ internal methodology utilizing several selection criteria to evaluate product submissions. Each product is graded on its internal system; points are awarded for various factors such as product design, application, target market, retail price, competitive products, and proprietary nature of the product. The selection process may include market tests in which the potential market demand for a product is quantified on the basis of its performance in certain test markets. Upon our acceptance, we attempt to negotiate exclusive marketing rights for both domestic and international marketing channels.

Once we have obtained these marketing rights, we typically design a direct response marketing test campaign to gauge potential market demand. Under a test campaign, an infomercial spot is placed on a limited basis on local cable outlets. Employing internal standards, we evaluate the spot for market viability. Upon completion of a successful test, we coordinate a comprehensive campaign geared to a national audience. In this manner, we seek to allot resources to products which appeal to consumers, and limit resources devoted to products which may not prove viable.

We design, create and produce direct response marketing campaigns primarily in the form of infomercial programming. We seek to maintain a low cost structure. We do not incur any expense for product research and development (excluding costs associated with our selection and testing process). We internally perform product testing, marketing development, media buying and direct response television production and outsource to third parties functions such as manufacturing, order processing and fulfillment. While there are no guarantees that a product will be successful, we believe that this allows us to reduce our risk by controlling variable costs.

We believe media exposure of a direct response television campaign can reduce barriers to gain access to retail outlets which can increase profitability for a consumer product. Viable consumer products possess customer awareness and brand loyalty. We seek to extend product lifecycles through other distribution channels such as home shopping channels and retail outlets. Thereafter, we seek to penetrate retail outlets which include the Internet, retail, catalog, radio and print.

Supply and distribution

We typically work with third party distributors, suppliers and manufactures on a per order basis. In the event that a manufacturer is unable to meet supply or manufacturing requirements at some time in the future, we may suffer short-term interruptions of delivery of certain products while we establish an alternative source. In most cases, alternative sources are readily available and we have established working relationships with several third party distributors, suppliers and manufacturers. We also rely on third party carriers for product shipments, including shipments to and from distribution facilities.

We have a contractual arrangement with a third party, Delivery Agent, LLC, under which Delivery Agent, LLC manages and fulfills all sales that take place over the internet of third party products on our website AsSeenOnTV.com. Under that arrangement, we do not recognize the total revenue from the transaction but rather Delivery Agent, LLC, pays us a fee calculated as a percentage of net product sales, defined as total sales of products and Orders On Demand (OOD) offers on the website, less amounts attributable to returns. In the direct response industry, purchased items are generally returnable for a certain period of time after purchase. We believe that our return experience is within the customary range for the direct response industry.

eDiets segment

eDiets develops and markets Internet-based diet and fitness programs. eDiets offers a subscription-based nationwide weight-loss oriented meal delivery service and it has been offering digital subscription-based plans in the United States since 1998, when it launched its first diet plan. Digital diet plans are personalized according to an individual’s weight goals, food and cooking preferences, and include the related shopping lists and recipes. eDiets offers a variety of different digital diet plans, including internally developed plans and online personalized meal plans based upon intellectual property licensed from third parties. eDiets generates revenue primarily in two ways: a nationwide weight-loss oriented meal delivery service and sales of digital weight-loss programs.

In addition to a meal delivery product or a digital diet plan, subscribers receive access to support offerings including interactive online information, communities and education as well as telephone and online support. Meal delivery subscribers generally purchase a full week, or five days, of prepared breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, supplemented by snacks, that are generally shipped to arrive within two or three days. Digital subscription programs ranging from four weeks to 52 weeks are billed in advance in varying increments of time. Substantially all digital subscribers purchase programs via credit/debit cards, with renewals billed automatically, until cancellation. eDiets also offers message boards on various topics of interest to its subscribers, online meetings presented by a dietitian and customer service representatives.

Industry

The weight loss industry in the U.S. is large and continues to grow. According to Marketdata Enterprises, Inc. in a 2011 report, eDiets’ particular segment, the online dieting market, was estimated to grow from approximately $990.0 million in 2010 to $1.2 billion in 2014. We believe the growing population of overweight and obese people who are motivated by both an increasing awareness of the health benefits of weight loss and the desire to improve their lives is driving the growth of weight-loss solutions. We also believe eDiets’ comprehensive and integrated weight-loss offerings, which include its fresh-prepared meal delivery service and personalized online subscription-based plans, position eDiets in serving both consumers and businesses.

Marketing

eDiets pays to advertise its services through cable television placements, online paid and natural search programs, Web affiliate programs, third party online banners, and print advertising campaigns. In addition, eDiets advertises on its websites and in its email newsletters. Over the last few years eDiets’ cost to acquire subscribers through banner advertisements on the major online portals has risen as a result of rapidly rising online advertising rates. eDiets has responded by shifting an increasing percentage of its advertising budget to television and paid search programs. eDiets typically experiences its weakest conversion rates during the fourth calendar quarter due to the November and December holiday season, and it moderates its advertising expenditures accordingly.

Websites and technology

eDiets’ data centers are located within two secure tier 1 collocation facilities in Chicago, Illinois and Lithia Springs, Georgia. The facilities provide it with ready access to increased network bandwidth, improved redundancy, security, and disaster recovery and 24-hour onsite management and support. Although the facilities provide eDiets with increased security and reliability, there can be no assurance that eDiets will not experience an interruption in service. To the extent that service is interrupted or delayed, it could experience a decrease in traffic, loss of customers and harm to our reputation. However, we believe that we could secure alternate technology infrastructure vendors rapidly at substantially similar cost to us.

Competition

The direct response marketing industry is a large, fragmented and competitive industry. The United States direct response marketing industry has a diverse set of channels, including direct mail, telemarketing, television, radio, newspaper, magazines and others. The list of market leaders fluctuates constantly. Companies marketing popular products dominate the airwaves and control media time. Furthermore, established brick-and-mortar retail competitors have recently made efforts to sell products through direct response marketing channels. Several competitors, including All Star Marketing Group, Telebrand Corp. and Hampton Direct, Inc. are significantly larger and have greater financial resources than we do and may be able to devote greater resources for the development and promotion of their services and products. We believe the principal competitive factors include authenticity of information, unique content and distinctiveness and quality of product, brand recognition and price.

The eDiets segment faces significant competition. In the online subscription diet business its most significant competitor is www.weightwatchers.com, which is owned by Weight Watchers® International. eDiets also competes with privately-held Waterfront Media, Inc., which operates a variety of diet and self-help-oriented websites including www.southbeachdiet.com, and with the WebMD® Weight Loss Center operated by WebMD, Inc. In the meal delivery business eDiets competes with Nutrisystem, Inc. and Jenny Craig, Inc. as well as others. Many of eDiets’ competitors in the weight loss industry, including Nutrisystem, Inc. and Jenny Craig, Inc., are significantly larger and have greater financial resources than we do and may be able to devote greater resources for the development and promotion of their services and products. eDiets mainly competes in the areas of program efficacy, price, taste, customer service and brand recognition.

Intellectual property

Our success depends on the goodwill associated with our trademarks and other proprietary intellectual property rights. We attempt to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights through a combination of trademark, copyright and patent law, trade secret protection and confidentiality agreements with our employees and marketing and advertising partners. We pursue the registration of our domain names, trademarks and service marks and patents in the United States and abroad.

We have received U.S. trademark registration with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the USPTO) for U.S. trademarks for “TV Goods”, “TruHair by Chelsea Scott”, and PITCH TANK®. We license the U.S. trademark for “Kevin Harrington” from an entity controlled by Kevin Harrington, our senior executive officer and director.

A substantial amount of uncertainty exists concerning the application of the intellectual property laws to the Internet and there can be no assurance that existing laws provide adequate protection of proprietary intellectual property. The steps we take to protect our proprietary rights may not be adequate and third parties may infringe or misappropriate copyrights, trademarks, service marks and similar proprietary rights.

In addition to www.astvinc.com, www.asseenontv.com, www.ediets.com and www.truhair.com, we own multiple domain names that we may or may not operate in the future. However, as with phone numbers, we do not have and cannot acquire any property rights in an Internet address. The regulation of domain names in the United States and in other countries is also subject to change. Regulatory bodies could establish additional top-level domains, appoint additional domain name registrars or modify the requirements for holding domain names. As a result, we might not be able to maintain our domain names or obtain comparable domain names, which could harm our business.

Government regulation

There is an increasing number of laws and regulations being promulgated by the United States government, governments of individual states and governments overseas that pertain to the Internet and doing business online. In addition, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals are under consideration by federal, state, local and foreign governments and agencies. Laws or regulations have been or may be adopted with respect to the Internet relating to:

·

liability for information retrieved from or transmitted over the Internet;

·

online content regulation;

·

commercial e-mail;

·

visitor privacy; and

·

taxation and quality of products and services.

Moreover, the applicability to the Internet of existing laws governing issues such as:

·

intellectual property ownership and infringement;

·

consumer protection;

·

obscenity;

·

defamation;

·

employment and labor;

·

the protection of minors;

·

health information; and

·

personal privacy and the use of personally identifiable information.



4



 


The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) has adopted regulations and guidelines regarding the collection and use of personally identifiable consumer information obtained from individuals when accessing websites, with particular emphasis on access by minors. Such regulations include requirements that companies establish certain procedures to, among other things:

·

give adequate notice to consumers regarding the type of information collected and disclosure practices;

·

provide consumers with the ability to have personally identifiable information deleted from a company’s database;

·

provide consumers with access to their personal information and with the ability to rectify inaccurate information;

·

notify consumers of changes to policy and procedure for the use of personally identifiable information;

·

clearly identify affiliations with third parties that may collect information or sponsor activities on a company’s website; and

·

obtain express parental consent prior to collecting and using personal identifying information obtained from children under 13 years of age.

These regulations also include enforcement and redress provisions. We have implemented programs designed to enhance the protection of the privacy of our visitors and comply with these regulations. However, the FTC’s regulatory and enforcement efforts may adversely affect its ability to collect personal information from visitors and customers and therefore limit its marketing efforts.

Due to the global nature of the Internet, it is possible that, although transmissions by our Company over the Internet originate primarily in the United States, the governments of other foreign countries might attempt to regulate our transmissions or prosecute us for violations of their laws. In the future, these laws may be modified or new laws may be enacted. We may unintentionally violate these laws to the extent that our transmissions are sent to or made available in these jurisdictions. Like domestic regulations that may apply to our activities, even if compliance is possible the cost of compliance may be burdensome. Any of these developments could cause our business to suffer. In addition, as our services are available over the Internet in multiple states and foreign countries, these jurisdictions may claim that we are required to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in each state or foreign country. We have not qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction, except Florida and Delaware. This failure by us to qualify as a foreign corporation in a jurisdiction where we are required to do so could subject us to taxes and penalties and could result in our inability to enforce contracts in such jurisdictions.

This area is uncertain and developing. Any new legislation or regulation or the application or interpretation of existing laws may have an adverse effect on our business. Even if our activities are not restricted by any new legislation, the cost of compliance may become burdensome, especially as different jurisdictions adopt different approaches to regulation.

In addition, each of our segments are subject to particular government regulation specific to its business as described below.

ASTV segment

ASTV’s business is subject to a number of governmental regulations, including the Mail or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule and related regulations of the FTC. These regulations prohibit unfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in connection with mail and telephone order sales and require sellers of mail and telephone order merchandise to conform to certain rules of conduct with respect to shipping dates and shipping delays. We are also subject to regulations of the U.S. Postal Service and various state and local consumer protection agencies relating to matters such as advertising, order solicitation, shipment deadlines and customer refunds and returns. In addition, imported merchandise is subject to import and customs duties and, in some cases, import quotas.

eDiets segment

Content may be accessed on eDiets’ website and this content may be downloaded by visitors and subsequently transmitted to others over the Internet. This could result in claims made against us based on a variety of theories, including, but not limited to, tort, contract and intellectual property violations. We could also be exposed to liability with respect to content that may be posted by visitors. It is also possible that if any information contains errors or false or misleading information or statements, third parties could make claims against us for losses incurred in reliance upon such information. In addition, eDiets may be subject to claims alleging that, by directly or indirectly providing links to other websites, eDiets is liable in tort, contract or intellectual property, for the wrongful actions of third party website operators. The Communications



5



 


Decency Act of 1996, as amended, provides that, under certain circumstances, a provider of Internet services shall not be treated as a publisher or speaker of any information provided by a third-party content provider. This safe harbor has been interpreted to exempt certain activities of providers of Internet services. However, as a result of certain of eDiets’ activities, we may be prevented from being able to take advantage of this safe harbor provision. Any claims brought against us in this respect may have a material and adverse effect on our business.

The FTC and certain states’ regulatory authorities regulate advertising and consumer matters such as unfair and deceptive trade practices. The FTC renewed its focus on claims made in weight-loss advertisements, announcing, for example, guidelines effective December 2009 concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising. In addition, the State of Florida, where our corporate offices are located, regulates certain marketing and disclosure requirements for weight loss providers. The nature of eDiets’ interactive Internet activities may subject us to similar legislation in a number of other states. Although we intend to conduct our operations in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and regularly review our operations to verify compliance, we cannot ensure that aspects of our operations will not be reviewed and challenged by the regulatory authorities and that if challenged that we would prevail. Furthermore, we cannot ensure that new laws or regulations governing weight loss and nutrition services providers will not be enacted, or existing laws or regulations interpreted or implied in the future in such way as to cause harm to our business.

In addition, eDiets generates advertising revenue from third-party banner impressions on its website. These advertisements can be weight-loss related. Any regulations or enforcement actions that adversely affect the companies which advertise on eDiets’ website may indirectly have an adverse effect on us through either lower advertising budgets at those companies, redirected marketing campaigns or restrictions on the type of advertisements that these companies run.

eDiets relies to varying degrees on online advertising and e-mail in its marketing efforts. The use of e-mail advertising may become less effective in the future for a number of reasons. Some of these reasons are regulatory, as legislators attempt to address problems related to perceived deceptive practices in unsolicited bulk e-mails. For example, the Federal CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, which became effective January 1, 2004, places requirements on certain commercial e-mail activity relating to, among other things, making conspicuous and effective opt-out procedures available to the recipient and the identification and location of the sender. eDiets has implemented procedures to ensure compliance with the Federal CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, but future legislation or regulatory developments under existing laws may have a negative impact on our ability to advertise by e-mail. E-mail advertising also may become less effective in the future for non-regulatory reasons, including the sheer volume of unsolicited e-mail being received, increased use of “white lists” through which only pre-approved sender addresses are not filtered, and other e-mail filtering systems which may become more robust in response to recent viruses and worms circulating on the Internet.

Furthermore, we cannot provide any assurance that future regulation of commercial e-mail will not also impose significant costs or restrictions on even subscriber-based or “opt-in” e-mail services such as the eDiets newsletter service. As part of the public debate on commercial e-mail regulations, for example, some have advocated an electronic stamp program applicable to commercial e-mail generally, and it is unclear what exceptions, if any, there would be under such a program for a periodic newsletter service such as ours if such a program were passed as legislation.

In addition, eDiets faces an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims if the use of its prepared meal delivery products and nutritional supplements result in illness or injury. Further, eDiets is subject to various laws and regulations, including those administered by the United States Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Employees

At June 21, 2013, we employed 22 full-time employees of which 4 are senior management. We believe that we maintain a satisfactory working relationship with our employees and have not experienced any labor disputes or any difficulty in recruiting staff for operations.

Our history

We are a Florida corporation organized in November 2006 under the name “H&H Imports, Inc.” On October 27, 2011, we changed our corporate name to “As Seen On TV, Inc.” On May 28, 2010, we completed an Agreement and Plan of Merger with TV Goods Holding Corporation, a Florida corporation (“TV Goods”) and our wholly owned subsidiary, TV Goods Acquisition, Inc. (“Acquisition Sub”), pursuant to which TV Goods merged with Acquisition Sub and continues its business as a wholly owned subsidiary of our Company. The transaction was accorded reverse recapitalization accounting treatment under the provision of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”)



6



 


805 whereby TV Goods became the accounting acquirer (legal acquiree) and our Company was treated as the accounting acquiree (legal acquirer). Concurrent with the effective date of the reverse recapitalization transaction, we adopted the fiscal year end of the accounting acquirer, March 31.

On May 27, 2011, we entered into a binding letter agreement with Seen on TV, LLC, an unaffiliated Nevada limited liability company, and Ms. Mary Beth Gearhart (formerly Fasano), its President. The letter agreement provided that we would obtain ownership of certain Seen on TV intangible assets, primarily consisting of the domain names “asseenontv.com” and “seenontv.com”. Upon entering into the binding letter agreement, we issued 250,000 shares of our common stock, with a fair value of $500,000 on the contract date, and an initial cash payment of $25,000 to Ms. Gearhart. In addition, we granted warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock, initially exercisable at $7.00 per share, for a period of three years with a grant date fair value of $162,192. Further, we agreed to make five additional monthly payments of $5,000 to the seller and a $10,000 contribution to a designated charitable contribution, all of which payments were made. All payments made under the initial letter agreement, including the fair value of securities and an additional $7,000 paid to the UK for use of the URL “asseenontv.co.uk” totaled $729,450. On June 28, 2012, we finalized the asset purchase agreement with Seen on TV, LLC, agreeing to:

·

pay an additional $1,560,000 in cash,

·

issue an additional 250,000 shares of our common stock,

·

issue 250,000 common stock purchase warrants, exercisable at $0.64 per share for three years from issuance,

·

modifying the exercise price of the 50,000 common stock purchase warrants issued in May 2011 from $7.00 per share to $1.00 per share and extending their term, and

·

making five annual payments of $10,000 per year to a charitable organization designated by Seen on TV.

We agreed that so long as Ms. Gearhart owns at least 250,000 shares of our common stock received under the purchase agreement, if we were to issue additional shares of common stock, Ms. Gearhart will be entitled to receive additional shares sufficient to maintain her proportional ownership in our Company. As a result of private placements of our securities that we completed in November 2012 and December 2012, the Company issued an additional 284,757 shares of common stock and as a result primarily of the eDiets acquisition, is obligated to issue an additional 316,267 shares of common stock as of March 31, 2013.

On February 28, 2013, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of eDiets pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among our company, eDiets Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of our Company, and eDiets.com, dated October 31, 2012 (the “eDiets Acquisition”). At closing, we issued an aggregate of 19,077,270 shares of our common stock, at the ratio of 1.2667 shares of our common stock for each outstanding share of eDiets’ common stock, to the eDiets’ shareholders. Following the closing, eDiets became a wholly owned subsidiary of our Company.

The total purchase price for eDiets was approximately $15.1 million. The purchase price consisted of approximately (i) $2.4 million in cash, (ii) $11.1 million in the Company’s common stock, valued based on the closing price of the stock on February 28, 2013, (iii) $0.9 million representing the fair value of the Company’s options issued to eDiets’ employees and warrants issued to eDiets consultants, and (iv) assumed liability of $600,000 in principal and $92,057 of related accrued interest in eDiets notes payable to related parties converted into 988,654 shares of common stock at $0.70 per share in accordance with the agreement and 494,328 warrants of the Company. In accordance with accounting standards of business combinations, we accounted for the acquisition of eDiets under the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method, the acquired assets and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition were recorded in the consolidated financial statements at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets has been recorded as goodwill. eDiets’ results of operations are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS.

Before you invest in our securities, you should be aware that there are various risks. You should consider carefully these risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K before you decide to purchase our securities. If any of the following risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

Our auditors have reported that there are substantial doubts as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. Since inception we have experienced recurring losses from operations, which losses have caused an accumulated deficit of approximately $13.6 million as of March 31, 2013. Prior to the closing of the acquisition, eDiets reported net losses for all interim periods in 2012 and for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We anticipate that we will continue to incur losses in future periods until we are successful in significantly increasing our revenues and/or reducing our operating expenses. There are no assurances that we will be able to raise our revenues to a level which supports profitable operations and provides sufficient funds to pay our obligations. If we are unable to meet those obligations, we would be required to raise additional debt or equity financing. Such financing, if available, may dilute our shareholders’ ownership interest in our Company. If we raise capital in the future by issuing additional securities, shareholders may experience dilution and a decline in the value of their shares of our common stock.

There are no assurances we will realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of eDiets.

In February 2013 we closed our acquisition of eDiets. The future success of the merger will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated growth opportunities and synergies from combining the ASTV and eDiets segments. We are in the early stages of integrating eDiets’ operations into our historical operations. The integration of the two companies will be a time consuming and expensive process and may disrupt our operations if it is not completed in a timely and efficient manner. In addition, we may not achieve anticipated synergies or other benefits of the merger. The combined company may encounter the following difficulties, costs and delays involved in integrating these operations:

·

failure to integrate the two companies’ businesses and operations;

·

failure to successfully manage relationships with customers and other important relationships;

·

failure of customers to continue using the services of the combined company;

·

difficulties in successfully integrating the management teams and employees of our company and eDiets;

·

challenges encountered in managing larger operations;

·

the loss of key employees;

·

failure to manage the growth and growth strategies of both companies;

·

diversion of the attention of management from other ongoing business concerns;

·

potential incompatibility of technologies and systems;

·

potential impairment charges incurred to write down the carrying amount of intangible assets generated as a result of the merger; and

·

potential incompatibility of business cultures.

If the combined company’s operations after the merger do not meet the expectations of the customers of our company and eDiets before the merger, then these customers may cease doing business with the combined company altogether, which would harm our results of operations and financial condition. If the management team is not able to develop strategies and implement a business plan that successfully addresses these difficulties, we may not realize the anticipated benefits of the merger. In particular, we are likely to realize lower earnings per share, which may have an adverse impact on our Company and the market price of our common stock.

We may never achieve or sustain profitability.

We may continue to incur losses as we attempt to develop and expand our operations and to market and sell our products. We entered into the merger with eDiets in part because of expected synergies with that company, including operating a larger entity with greater critical mass of direct response marketing which could reduce the media buying pricing for the combined company and lower expenses due to an elimination in certain duplicate administrative costs, such as



8



 


finance, legal, and marketing. There are no assurances; however, these expected cost savings will materialize. While we expect that our revenues will increase following the merger with eDiets as a result of consolidating that company’s results of operations with ours, because of the uncertainty regarding the scope of increased revenues and expected cost savings, there are no assurances that we will ever achieve or sustain profitability.

We have reported operational losses since inception, eDiets has a history of losses, and we cannot anticipate with any degree of certainty what our revenues will be in future periods.

At March 31, 2013, we had a cash balance of approximately $2.4 million and a working capital deficit of $9.6 million. Substantially all of our cash balance at March 31, 2013 was due to the completion of a series of private placements beginning in May 2011. Our results of operations for fiscal 2013 include revenues from eDiets for the month of March 2013. Even if we are able to substantially increase revenues and reduce operating expenses following the eDiets merger, it is likely we will need to raise additional capital. In order to continue operating, the combined company will need to obtain additional financing, either through borrowings, public offerings, private offerings, or some type of business combination, such as a merger, or buyout, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in such pursuits. In the past, both companies have actively pursued a variety of funding sources including private offerings and have consummated certain transactions in order to address their respective capital requirements. However, we may be unable to acquire the additional funding necessary to continue operating. Accordingly, if we are unable to generate adequate cash from operations, and if we are unable to find sources of funding, it may be necessary for us to sell one or more lines of business or all or a portion of our assets, enter into a business combination, or reduce or eliminate operations. These possibilities, to the extent available, may be on terms that result in significant dilution to our shareholders or that result in our shareholders losing all of their investment in our Company.

We have to satisfy registration rights provisions under a 2010 Private Placement and we are obligated to make pro rata payments to the subscribers of the 2010 Private Placement in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of $156,000.

Under the terms of a private placement conducted in 2010 (the “2010 Private Placement”), we provided that we would use our best reasonable effort to cause a registration statement to become effective within 180 days of the termination date of the offering. We failed to comply with the registration rights provision and are obligated to make pro rata payments to the subscribers under the private placement in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of $156,000. The payment of this amount remains due and, when paid, will reduce our available cash and could adversely impact funds available for operations.

Our operations are subject to the general risks of the direct response television industry including product liability claims, the amounts of which could exceed our insurance coverage.

Our operations could be impacted by both genuine and fictitious claims regarding products we market. Although primarily all of the consumer products we market are not our property, we could potentially suffer losses from a significant product liability judgment against us. Any such significant product liability judgment could also result in a loss of consumer confidence in our products as well as an actual or perceived loss of value of our brand, materially impacting consumer demand. Although we carry a limited amount of product liability insurance, the amount of liability from product liability claims may exceed the amount of any insurance proceeds received by us. If we should be required to pay a product liability claim in excess of our insurance coverage, our working capital would be adversely impacted in future periods.

Our business would be harmed if manufacturers and service providers are unable to deliver products or provide services in a timely and cost effective manner, or if we are unable to timely fulfill orders.

While eDiets’ mail delivery foods are provided under a multi-year agreement with a commercial food supplier, we do not have any long-term contracts with manufacturers, suppliers or other service providers for our direct response products. We do not produce or manufacture the products we market, and we utilizes third party companies to fulfill consumer orders and provide telemarketing services. If any manufacturer or supplier is unable, either temporarily or permanently, to manufacture or deliver products or provide services to us in a timely and cost effective manner, it could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Our ability to provide effective customer service and efficiently fulfill orders for merchandise depends, to a large degree, on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of the manufacturing and related call centers, distribution centers, and management information systems run by third parties. Any material disruption or slowdown in manufacturing, order processing or fulfillment systems resulting from strikes or labor disputes, telephone down times, electrical outages, mechanical problems, human error or accidents, fire, natural disasters, adverse weather conditions or comparable events could cause delays in our ability to receive and fulfill orders and may cause orders to be lost or to be shipped or delivered late. As a result, these disruptions could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations in future periods.



9



 


eDiets relies on third parties to provide it with adequate food supply and certain fulfillment, the loss of which could cause its revenue, earnings or reputation to suffer.

eDiets currently depends on one third party meal delivery vendor under contract for the manufacture and fulfillment of its prepared meals. If eDiets is unable to obtain sufficient quantity, quality and variety of food and fulfillment of customer orders in a timely and low-cost manner from this manufacturer, eDiets will be unable to adequately fulfill its customer’s orders which would adversely affect our operating results and damage the value of its brand. In addition, orders are currently shipped by one third-party, United Parcel Service, Inc., or UPS. Should UPS be unable to service its needs for even a short duration, our revenue will be adversely affected. Additionally, the cost and time associated with replacing UPS on short notice would add to costs. Any replacement fulfillment provider would also require startup time, which could cause eDiets to lose sales and market share. eDiets is dependent on maintaining good relationships with these third parties. The services it require from these parties may be disrupted by a number of factors associated with their businesses, including the following:

·

labor disruptions;

·

delivery problems;

·

financial condition of operations;

·

internal inefficiencies;

·

equipment failure;

·

natural or man-made disasters; and

·

with respect to its food supplier, shortages of ingredients or United States Department of Agriculture and United States Food and Drug Administration compliance issues.

Any failure to timely and effectively address any of these factors should they arise will adversely impact our results of operations in future periods.

The sale of prepared meals and nutritional supplements involves product liability and other risks.

eDiets faces an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims if the use of its prepared meal delivery products and nutritional supplements results in illness or injury. eDiets is subject to various laws and regulations, including those administered by the United States Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that establish manufacturing practices and quality standards for food products. eDiets may be subject to claims that its products contain contaminants, are improperly labeled, include inadequate instructions as to use or inadequate warnings. Product liability claims could have a material adverse effect on our business as contract indemnification rights and existing insurance coverage may not be adequate. Distributors of food products, vitamins, and nutritional supplements are frequently named as defendants in product liability lawsuits. The successful assertion or settlement of an uninsured claim, a significant number of insured claims or a claim exceeding the limits of our insurance coverage would harm us by adding costs to the business and by diverting the attention of senior management. Product liability litigation or regulatory action, even if not meritorious, is very expensive and could also entail adverse publicity for eDiets and reduce our revenues.

We are not affiliated with any of the “As Seen On TV” or “Seen On TV” retail stores and “As Seen On TV” and “Seen On TV” are not subject to trademark protection and therefore have been, and will continue to be used by third parties, including online and retail applications with no connections, nor benefits, to our Company.

We are not affiliated with any of the “As Seen On TV” or “Seen on TV” retail stores. While we rely on “As Seen On TV” and “Seen On TV” for name recognition and marketing, such terms are not subject to trademark registration or common law protection. Therefore, our competitors have, and will continue to use such terms in the market. The inability to register the terms may subject our Company to negative public perception in the event that one of our competitors sells or distributes a negatively received product under an “As Seen On TV” or “Seen On TV” label. Furthermore, the inability to register “As Seen On TV” or “Seen On TV” may prevent us from developing a unique brand that exclusively benefits our Company.

We may not be successful in finding or marketing new products. Our financial performance is dependent on the disproportionate success of a small group of products.

Our business, operations and financial performance depends on our ability to attract and market new products on a consistent basis. In the direct marketing industry, the average product life cycle varies from six months to four years, based on numerous factors, including competition, product features, distribution channels utilized, cost of goods sold and effectiveness of advertising. Less successful products have shorter life cycles. The majority of products are submitted by inventors. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring rights to quality products. We select new products based upon management’s expertise and limited market studies. As a result, we need to acquire the rights to quality



10



 


products with sufficient margins and consumer appeal to justify the acquisition costs. There can be no assurance that chosen products will generate sufficient revenues to justify the acquisition and marketing costs. In addition, our business and results of operations is dependent on the disproportionate success of a small group of products, which we do not produce or manufacture. It is likely that the majority of the products we market may fail to generate significant revenues. Furthermore it is likely we will market more products which fail to generate significant revenues as opposed to products which generate significant revenues. Our sales and profitability has been in the past and will continue to be in the future adversely affected if we are unable to develop a sufficient number of successful products.

We may not be able to respond in a timely and cost effective manner to changes in consumer preferences.

Our merchandise is subject to changing consumer preferences. A shift in consumer preferences away from the merchandise we offer would result in significantly reduced revenues. Our future success depends in part on our ability to anticipate and respond to changes in consumer preferences. Failure to anticipate and respond to changing consumer preferences in the products we market could lead to, among other things, lower sales of products, significant markdowns or write-offs of inventory, increased merchandise returns and lower margins. In addition, eDiets’ success depends, to a large degree, upon the continued popularity of its program versus various other weight loss, weight management and fitness regimens, such as low carbohydrate diets, appetite suppressants and diets featured in the published media. Changes in consumer tastes and preferences away from eDiets’ weight loss-oriented meal delivery service and digital weight-loss programs, and any failure to provide innovative responses to these changes, may have a materially adverse impact on its revenues. If we are not successful in anticipating and responding to changes in consumer preferences, our results of operations in future periods will be materially adversely impacted.

eDiets depends heavily on its network infrastructure and its failure could result in unanticipated expenses and prevent subscribers from effectively utilizing services, which could negatively impact eDiets’ ability to attract and retain subscribers and advertisers.

eDiets’ ability to successfully create and deliver its content depends in large part on the capacity, reliability and security of networking hardware, software and telecommunications infrastructure. Failures of network infrastructure could result in unanticipated expenses to address such failures and could prevent subscribers from effectively utilizing services, which could prevent eDiets from retaining and attracting subscribers and advertisers. The hardware infrastructures on which the eDiets’ system operates are located in Chicago, Illinois and Lithia Springs, Georgia. eDiets does not currently have a formal disaster recovery plan. Its system is susceptible to natural and man-made disasters, including terrorism, earthquakes, fires, floods, power loss and vandalism. Further, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, electronic break-ins or other similar disruptive problems could adversely affect the operation of its systems. eDiets’ insurance policies may not adequately compensate us for any losses that may occur due to any damages or interruptions in its systems. Accordingly, we could incur capital expenditures in the event of unanticipated damage.

The unauthorized access of confidential member information that eDiets transmits over public networks could adversely affect its ability to attract and retain subscribers.

eDiets’ subscribers transmit confidential information to it over public networks, and the unauthorized access of such information by third parties could harm its reputation and significantly hinder its efforts to attract and retain subscribers. eDiets relies on a variety of security techniques and authentication technology licensed from third parties to provide the security and authentication technology to effect secure transmission of confidential information, including customer credit card numbers. Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other developments may result in a compromise or breach of the technology it uses to protect customer transaction data and adversely affect its ability to attract and retain customers.

eDiets may be subject to health-related claims from its customers which may negatively affect its business.

eDiets’ weight loss program does not include medical treatment or medical advice, and it does not engage physicians or nurses to monitor the progress of customers. Many people who are overweight suffer from other physical conditions, and target consumers could be considered a high-risk population. A customer who experiences health problems could allege or bring a lawsuit against eDiets on the basis that those problems were caused or worsened by participating in its weight management program. Defending against such claims, regardless of their merit and ultimate outcome, would likely be lengthy and costly, and adversely affect our results of operations and eDiets’ general liability insurance may not cover claims of these types.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES

Because the market for our common stock is limited, persons who purchase our common stock may not be able to resell their shares at or above the purchase price paid for them.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board which is not a liquid market. There is currently only a limited public market for our common stock. We cannot assure you that an active public market for our common stock will develop or be sustained in the future. If an active market for our common stock does not develop or is not sustained, the price may continue to decline.

Because we are subject to the “penny stock” rules, brokers cannot generally solicit the purchase of our common stock which adversely affects its liquidity and market price.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. The market price of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board has been substantially less than $5.00 per share and we do not meet any of the other rule exclusions, and therefore our common stock is currently considered a “penny stock” according to SEC rules. This designation requires any broker-dealer selling these securities to disclose certain information concerning the transaction, obtain a written agreement from the purchaser and determine that the purchaser is reasonably suitable to purchase the securities. SEC regulations also require additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a “penny stock,” including the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and its associated risks. These requirements severely limit the liquidity of securities in the secondary market because few broker or dealers are likely to undertake these compliance activities and this limited liquidity will make it more difficult for an investor to sell his shares of our common stock in the secondary market should the investor wish to liquidate the investment. In addition to the applicability of the penny stock rules, other risks associated with trading in penny stocks could also be price fluctuations and the lack of a liquid market.

Due to factors beyond our control, the market price of our common stock price may be volatile.

Any of the following factors could affect the market price of our common stock:

·

failure to increase revenues in each succeeding quarter;

·

failure to achieve and maintain profitability;

·

the loss of distribution relationships;

·

the sale of a large amount of common stock by our shareholders;

·

announcement of a pending or completed acquisition or failure to complete a proposed acquisition;

·

adverse court ruling or regulatory action;

·

failure to meet financial analysts’ performance expectations;

·

changes in earnings or loss estimates and recommendations by financial analysts;

·

changes in market valuations of similar companies;

·

short selling activities;

·

announcement of a change in the direction of our business;

·

actual or anticipated variations in quarterly or in forecasted results of operations; or

·

announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, commercial relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted. A securities class action suit against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s time and attention, which would otherwise be used to benefit our business.

Shares eligible for sale or convertible into shares in the future could negatively affect our stock price and dilute shareholders.

The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock or the perception that these sales could occur. This might also make it more difficult for us to raise funds through the issuance of securities. As we may also issue and/or register additional shares, options, or warrants in the future in connection with capital raising activities, acquisitions, compensation or otherwise, we cannot predict what effect, if any, market sales of shares held by any shareholder or the availability of these shares for future sale will have on the market price of our common stock.



12



 


The exercise of the warrants and options will result in dilution to existing shareholders and could negatively affect the market price for our common stock.

At June 21, 2013, we had outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 73,321,000 shares of common stock exercisable at various prices and options to purchase an aggregate of 5,934,000 shares of common stock exercisable at various prices. If all the warrants and options are exercised, based on 71,282,066 shares of common stock issued and outstanding on June 21, 2013, our issued and outstanding shares would increase by over 111%. Furthermore, in connection with the hiring of our new chief executive officer in May 2013, the Company issued additional options to purchase up to 3,050,000 shares of our common stock. In the event that a liquid market for our common stock develops, of which there is no assurance, to the extent that holders of our warrants and options exercise such convertible securities, our existing shareholders will experience dilution to their ownership interest in our Company. In addition, to the extent that holders of convertible securities convert such securities and then sell the underlying shares of common stock in the open market, the market price of our common stock may decrease due to the additional shares in the market.

The purchase price protection features of our securities issued under its securities purchase agreement dated October 28, 2011 and November 14, 2012 could require us to issue a substantially greater number of shares of common stock, which will cause dilution to our shareholders.

Under a securities purchase agreement effective October 28, 2011 and securities purchase agreement effective November 14, 2012, purchasers may receive additional shares of common stock in the event we issue additional securities, at an effective price per share that is less than the initial issuance price of the shares under the respective securities purchase agreement. The warrants issued pursuant to the above referenced agreements also contain provisions entitling the holders of such warrants to cashless exercise rights in the event we fail to register the underlying shares of common stock at or prior to the time the warrants are exercised. In addition, if at any time while the warrants are outstanding we issue securities at an effective price per share less than the exercise price of the respective warrants, then, subject to certain exempt issuances, the exercise price of the warrants may be reduced to such discounted price.

The change in value of our derivative liabilities could have a material effect on our financial results in future periods.

In connection with its recent financings, we have issued a significant number of warrants and other securities that, as a result of the terms of these warrants and other securities, each are considered a derivative liability under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. At each of our financial reporting periods, we are required to determine the fair value of such derivatives and record the fair value adjustments as non-cash unrealized gains or losses. The share price of our common stock represents the primary underlying variable that impacts the value of the derivative instruments. Additional factors that impact the value of the derivative instruments include the volatility of our stock price, our credit rating, discount rates, and stated interest rates. Due to the volatile nature of our share price, we expect that we will recognize non-cash gains or losses on its derivative instruments each reporting period and that the amount of such non-cash gains or losses could be material.

Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may delay or prevent a take-over which may not be in the best interests of our shareholders.

Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects, which include when and by whom special meetings of our shareholders may be called, and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt. In addition, certain provisions of the Florida Business Corporations Act also may be deemed to have certain anti-takeover effects which include that control of shares acquired in excess of certain specified thresholds will not possess any voting rights unless these voting rights are approved by a majority of a corporation's disinterested shareholders. Further, our articles of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors (the “Board”) in their sole discretion. Our Board may, without shareholder approval, issue shares of preferred stock with dividends, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock.

ITEM 2.

PROPERTY.

Our corporate offices are located in Clearwater, Florida. This location is approximately 10,500 square feet which includes approximately 5,000 square feet of studio production space. We previously sub-leased the facility under a 38-month lease agreement with escalating lease payments through February 2013. The minimum rental payments, escalating from $6,000 per month to $16,182 per month under the lease terms, increase over the lease term with no provisions for increases dependent upon contingent occurrences. On February 1, 2012, we entered into a new 36-month lease agreement on our existing headquarters facility. Terms of the lease provide for a base rent payment of $7,875 per month for the first 12 months, increasing 3% per year thereafter. The lease contains no provisions for a change in the base rent based on future events or contingent occurrences. This location is sufficient to support current and anticipated operations.

eDiets’ employees operate out of our leased facility of approximately 8,800 square feet in Pompano Beach, Florida under a lease expiring in September 2013. The aggregate current monthly rental is approximately $9,800.

ITEM 3.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

In February 2012, SCI Direct, LLC (“SCI”), filed suit against TV Goods, Inc. in the United States District Court, Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division. The complaint alleges trademark infringement by TV Goods arising from our Living Pure™ space heater as it relates to SCI’s EDENPURE™ space heater. The plaintiff was seeking monetary and injunctive relief claiming TV Goods committed trademark infringement, unfair competition and violation of the Ohio Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The amount of damages the plaintiff was seeking was unspecified. We believed that the legal basis of the allegations was completely without merit. The potential monetary relief, if any, was not probable and could not be estimated at that time. On June 21, 2012, TV Goods, Inc. executed a settlement agreement with SCI Direct, LLC. Under the terms of the agreement, SCI agreed to dismiss the complaint and TV Goods, Inc. agreed to cease marketing any products under the Living Pure Trademark. The settlement agreement was contingent upon SCI’s review of TV Goods, Inc. financial statements relating to Living Pure sales, which was completed with the dismissal of the complaint on July 5, 2012.

On August 9, 2012 the Company entered into a letter of intent with eDiets for the acquisition of that company in a stock for stock transaction. On October 31, 2012, we entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger, which closed on February 28, 2013. In connection with the transaction, on September 10, 2012, the Company received notice of a complaint filed by a shareholder of eDiets in Broward County, Florida against eDiets, members of the board of directors of eDiets and the Company, alleging that eDiets breached its fiduciary duty to its shareholders by entering into the merger agreement for inadequate consideration. Prior to the deadline for the defendants to answer the complaint, the plaintiff and the defendants in the case filed a stipulation with the court allowing the plaintiff to file an amended complaint. To date, the plaintiff has taken no further action in the case. The merger of eDiets with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company was consummated on February 28, 2013. The Company and the other defendants deny the allegations and intend to vigorously defend the action should the plaintiff take any further steps to prosecute the lawsuit and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Dividend Policy

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. Payment of dividends will be within the sole discretion of our Board and will depend, among other factors, upon our earnings, capital requirements and our operating and financial condition. In addition, under Florida law, we may declare and pay dividends on our capital stock either out of our surplus, as defined in the relevant Florida statutes, or if there is no such surplus, out of our net profits for the year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding year. If, however, the capital of our Company computed in accordance with the relevant Florida statutes, has been diminished by depreciation in the value of our property, or by losses, or otherwise, to an amount less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets, we are prohibited from declaring and paying out of such net profits any dividends upon any shares of our capital stock until the deficiency in the amount of capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets shall have been repaired. We have no present intention to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

Except as otherwise disclosed below or as previously disclosed in reports file with the SEC, we have not sold any unregistered equity securities during the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under “Item 1A. Risk Factors”, “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information” and “Business” sections in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a direct response marketing company and owner of AsSeenOnTV.com and eDiets.com. We identify, develop and market consumer products for global distribution via TV, Internet and retail channels. In February 2013 we acquired eDiets and following this transaction our business is organized along two segments, ASTV and eDiets. The ASTV segment is a direct response marketing company that identifies and advises in the development and marketing of consumer products. The eDiets segment is a subscription-based nationwide weight-loss oriented digital subscription and meal delivery service.

When considering the acquisition of eDiets, we believed that the combination could create a stronger, more scalable business and facilitate our strategic objective of becoming one of the top providers of direct response marketing. Other expected benefits include:

·

enabling us to expand and diversify our product offering to our customers;

·

create opportunities for increased growth through the expansion of channels of distribution for existing products and services;

·

anticipated synergies from the merger, including operating a larger entity with greater critical mass of direct response marketing which could reduce the media buying pricing for the combined company and lower expenses;

·

cost savings achieved from the ability to eliminate duplicative expenses associated with public company compliance;

·

opportunities to increase the rate of growth of the combined company via new products and services and our belief that the combined entity, with higher revenues and more opportunities for growth and profitability, may have access to additional sources of capital not available to us on a stand-alone basis; and

·

provide opportunities for increased growth through the ability to cross-sell existing products and services.


To more effectively facilitate the integration of the two companies, and in an effort to enhance our abilities to achieve the expected benefits of the acquisition of eDiets, in May 2013, Ronald C. Pruett Jr. joined our Company as chief executive officer. Our Board believes Mr. Pruett’s background is exceptionally well suited to lead our Company following the closing of the eDiets Acquisition.

Since closing the acquisition of eDiets Acquisition, we have commenced implementing internal changes which, when completed, will permit us to operate as a combined organization, utilizing common information and communication systems, operating procedures, financial controls and human resources practices. Those changes include an aggressive restructuring under new management, including a significant reduction in personnel in the eDiets segment and an enhanced emphasis on the eDiets digital subscription-based plans. We are also evaluating means of improving the margins on eDiets’ meal delivery services which have been declining in recent periods. A significant focus on our post-closing efforts has also been expanding the Company’s e-commerce platforms. Though in the early stages, shifting our focus towards a greater emphasis on e-retailing of third-party products may prove more profitable for the Company. Under this structure, we would not recognize total revenue with sales transactions but rather a negotiated percentage of the sale. This approach, if successful, would eliminate many costs and the administrative burden of purchasing and carrying inventories, while capitalizing on our e-commerce platforms already owned by the Company.

We face a number of challenges during fiscal 2014, including a competitive environment in the online diet industry, effectively responding to ever changing consumer preferences and effectively integrating eDiets. We also need to raise additional funds to properly provide the resources necessary to enable us to realize some or all of the expected benefits of the acquisition of eDiets. The continuation of the Company’s business is dependent upon raising additional financial support. In light of the Company’s results of continuing operations, the Company, under new management has and intends to continue to evaluate various possibilities. These possibilities include: raising additional capital through the issuance of common or preferred stock, securities convertible into common stock, or secured or unsecured debt, selling one or more lines of business, or all or a portion of the Company’s assets, entering into a business combination, and aggressively restructuring existing operations, including reducing or eliminating less promising operations, liquidating assets, or significantly reducing or suspending our operations. These possibilities, to the extent available, may be on terms that result in significant dilution to the Company’s existing stockholders or that result in the Company’s existing stockholders losing all of their investment in the Company. There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in raising adequate additional financial support. If not, the Company will be required to reduce or suspend operations. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Going concern

While we reported net income of $3.7 million for fiscal 2013, at March 31, 2013, we had a working capital deficit of $9.6 million and cash used in operations of $6.4 million for fiscal 2013. Based on our recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations, the report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2013, contains an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. There are no assurances we will be successful in our efforts to increase our revenues and report profitable operations or to continue as a going concern, in which event investors would lose their entire investment in our Company.

Results of operations

In fiscal 2012 we had only one reporting segment, ASTV. The following table provides a summary of our segment information for fiscal 2013:

We measure the profit or loss of our segments or “segment operating income (loss).” We define segment operating income (loss) as income from operations before warrant revaluation income or loss, net interest expenses and income taxes and excludes unallocated corporate overhead. We have no intersegment revenues, profits or losses. The amounts under the caption, “Corporate and Other” in this table are unallocated corporate overhead items. Goodwill totaling $9.3 million and identifiable intangible assets totaling $7.8 million resulting from our acquisition of eDiets have been allocated to the eDiets segment assets.

Revenues

ASTV segment

We generate revenues in our ASTV segment from a number of sources. In the fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 periods, these sources included:

·

heater sales,

·

other product sales,

·

speaking engagement fees,

·

infomercial production income, and

For fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, approximately 64% and 63% of our revenues, respectively, was attributable to sales of our line of SeasonAire heaters for which we contracted marketing and distribution rights. While there can be no assurance, management believes that continuing to develop a marketing strategy based upon distributing developed products for which the Company has ownership or licensing rights, will ultimately prove a successful strategy. Due primarily to this increase in focus on product sales, primarily heater products, rather than infomercial productions for third parties, revenue increased 24% in fiscal 2013 over fiscal 2012. The Company intends to continue to focus its efforts on the direct response marketing of identified products and shift its focus away from infomercial production. Selling prices and cost of sales of sales of the heaters remained relatively consistent between the periods presented.

On June 13, 2013, TV Goods, Inc., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a termination agreement with Presser Direct, LLC under which it terminated a Purchasing and Marketing Agreement (the “P & M Agreement”) between TV Goods and Presser Direct dated March 7, 2012, relating to the manufacture, marketing, sale and distribution of the SeasonAire heater and related product lines. Under the Termination Agreement, TV Goods agreed to pay approximately $309,000 in respect of previously purchased inventory and approximately $146,000 attributable to royalty payments under the P & M Agreement, of which $65,000 was to be held in escrow pending delivery of replacements for damaged or defective SeasonAire heaters and related products previously sold by TV Goods. TV Goods also agreed to transfer title to certain assets relating to the products, including infomercials and intellectual property, to Presser Direct. Presser Direct agreed to pay TV Goods $50,000 for existing SeasonAire inventory, to assume obligations to make all royalty payments relating to SeasonAire sales after July 31, 2013 and to assume all liabilities relating to the SeasonAire products after June 13, 2013, except for certain warranty obligations relating to SeasonAire products sold prior to that date. TV Goods and Presser Direct released each other from all obligations under the P & M Agreement, so that the only surviving obligations were those arising under the termination agreement.

Other product sales represent ASTV sales of various consumer direct response products.

Speaking engagement fees represent our portion of revenues derived from the license agreement with Kevin Harrington, our Chairman. Sales from this area declined sharply in fiscal 2013, as the Company shifted its marketing focus to areas believed to potentially yield higher margins. Royalty fees, totaling $299,000 and $61,480 in fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively, primarily represent fees received by the Company under an agreement associated with our AsSeenOnTV.com url. The increase in royalty fees reflects minimum fees due the Company resulting from its acquisition of the AsSeenOnTV.com URL, completed in June 2012. While there can be no assurance, it is hoped that these royalty fees will increase in the future as web-related revenues for those utilizing our website increase.

Infomercial production income declined sharply for fiscal 2013. This decline reflected the Company’s decision to shift away from infomercial production to sales of consumer products, including dietary products which the Company believes has a higher earnings potential. The Company has no future plans to develop operations in this area.

eDiets segment

Our fiscal 2013 revenues included one month revenues from eDiets since the date of acquisition.

Cost of revenues

Overall, cost of revenues for fiscal 2013 was 73% of revenues compared to 77% of revenues for fiscal 2012. Cost of revenues for the ASTV segment was 75% of revenues in fiscal 2013 as compared to 77% in fiscal 2012. The change in cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues for the ASTV segment reflects reduced products costs due to increased purchasing



18



 


power primarily attributable to our heater program. Cost of revenues for the eDiets segment was 48% of revenues in fiscal 2013. We did not report revenues from the eDiets segment in fiscal 2012 and we do not believe comparisons to its separately reported results would be meaningful.

Costs associated with the ASTV segment product sales include the direct costs of purchasing the products marketed as well as fulfillment costs associated with the taking and shipment of orders, merchant discount fees, royalties, commissions and shipping and freight costs. The Company does not manufacture any products in-house and relies on third-party suppliers, located primarily outside of the United States, for its inventory. Accordingly, our cost of products acquired for sale could vary significantly if fuel and transportation costs were to increase in the future. Costs associated with the eDiets segment sales include credit card fees, product costs, fulfillment and shipping costs, as well as costs associated with revenue sharing or royalty costs related to license agreements with third party nutrition and fitness companies, Internet access fees, compensation for nutritional professionals and depreciation.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses, consisting of selling and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses, increased for fiscal 2013 as compared to fiscal 2012.

The increase of 26% in selling and marketing expense is directly attributable to the increase in product sales between the periods. A significant portion of this increase, totaling $437,000, representing 47% of the overall increase, is attributable to eDiets, which we acquired on February 28, 2013. The majority of this amount represents media purchases focused on our dietary meal delivery program. Also included for fiscal 2013 is $263,000 attributable to a talent agreement dated November 19, 2012, with a two-year term and was not in place in the prior year. This agreement contains certain performance criteria which will significantly increase marketing expenses in future periods over the term of the agreement. Total expenses will be dependent on fair value valuations and meeting performance criteria.

General and administrative expenses increased approximately $2.1 million in fiscal 2013 over the prior year. A significant component of this increase, approximately $694,000, represents the difference in fair value between the eDiets options outstanding at the acquisition date and the replacement ASTV options granted. Under the provisions of ASC 805—Business Combinations, the excess fair value of the ASTV replacement options over the fair value of the eDiets options is recognized as compensation cost in the acquirer’s post-combination financial statements over the remaining service period or immediately if fully vested. In addition, in fiscal 2013 we recognized severance expenses on the departure of the Company’s former chief executive officer of $242,000 and severance related stock based compensation expenses recognized of approximately $327,000 resulting from accelerated vesting. Combined, these two transactions represented approximately 60% of the overall increase between the periods. Administrative salaries also increased by approximately $392,000 reflecting the increase in overall sales levels including approximately $61,000 attributable to our acquisition of eDiets. This increase was due to a companywide grant of 2,075,000 options in December 2012. While there can be no assurance, we anticipate general and administrative expenses to decline in future periods as the Company implements its cost reduction program, which includes among other components, the reduction in administrative staff and related expenses.

Other (income) expenses

Other (income) expense primarily relates to the non-cash income or expense recognized on the periodic revaluation of the fair value of financing related warrants outstanding at the end of each period that, based on their provisions, are carried as liabilities on the Company’s records. For fiscal 2013, we reported other income of $14.0 million as compared to $5.5 million in fiscal 2012. These periodic revaluations have, and most likely will continue to, result in significant, non-cash income or expense being recognized at the end of any given period depending on fluctuations in the market value of our stock on each remeasurement date. Investors should not place undue emphasis on our other income resulting from our revaluation of warrants outstanding when evaluating our actual operating performance.

Other (income) expense in fiscal 2012 included a loss of extinguishment of debt of $2,950,513 and other income resulting from the revaluation of a derivative liability of $209,351, which did not occur in fiscal 2013.

Interest expense for both periods presented represents the accretion to interest expense of debt discounts and debt issuance costs associated with debt financings of the Company. Interest expense recognized for fiscal 2013 of $1.6 million is primarily attributable to our $1,275,000 12% senior secured convertible note (Bridge Note) transaction which closed in September 2012. Interest expense recognized in fiscal 2012 of $4.2 million represented accretion attributable to a $750,000 convertible debenture issued in April 2011 and a $1,800,000 12% convertible debenture issued in August 2011.

Liquidity and capital resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet the company’s needs for cash to operate the business. At March 31, 2013, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $9.6 million as compared to a working capital deficit of approximately $18.2 million at March 31, 2012, a decrease of 47%. At March 31, 2013, our current assets decreased 26% and our current liabilities decreased 40%, respectively, from March 31, 2012. The sharp decrease in current liabilities was due to a sharp decline in the Company’s warrant liabilities, decreasing from $25,800,000 to $11,700,000 between the periods. This decline was attributable to a significant drop in the year-end market price of our common stock, used in determining the fair value of the liability at year-end. Our consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2013 reflects a consolidation with eDiets. Principal changes in current assets as March 31, 2013 compared to March 31, 2012 include a decline in cash attributable primarily to operational losses, advances on inventory purchases and inventories and an increase in accounts receivable, net and prepaid and current assets. The approximate 25% increase in accounts receivable net, reflects receivable still due under the Company’s extended pay option related to our heater sales and approximately $54,000 in accounts receivable related to eDiets. The approximate 202% increase in prepaids and other current assets reflects approximately $204,000 related to a prepaid talent fee paid to Mr. CeeLo Green and a sharp increase in prepaid insurance between the periods, including $263,000 related to eDiets, not reflected in the previous year. The decline in advances on inventory purchases and inventories reflects a change in timing of our ordering of heaters manufactured in the Orient. During fiscal 2013, product scheduled for our heater program, which requires advance payments, was ordered and delivered sooner than the prior year.

Our consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2013, includes $9.3 million of goodwill resulting from our acquisition of eDiets. Based upon the eDiets segment’s near term results, we expect to test goodwill more frequently than annually for possible early impairment if circumstances change indicating that the fair value of the goodwill may be below the carrying amount. If we determine that it is necessary to impair some or all of this goodwill, our results of operations will be adversely impacted in those periods.

The most significant changes in current liabilities reflects an increase in accounts payable resulting from our acquisition of eDiets, effective February 28, 2013. eDiets trade payables totaled $2,104,000 at March 31, 2013.

As of March 31, 2013, we had approximately $2.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which contemplate continuation as a going concern. We have sustained substantial operational losses since our inception, and such operational losses have continued through March 31, 2013 and we have financed our operations primarily through the issuance of shares of our common stock and the issuance of convertible notes. The Company cannot predict how long it will continue to incur further losses or whether it will ever become profitable which is dependent upon the frequency and success of new and existing products. These factors raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We have commenced implementing, and will continue to implement, various measures to address our financial condition, including:

Continuing to seek debt and equity financing and possible funding through strategic partnerships. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to raise additional capital on favorable terms, or at all.

Curtailing operations where feasible to conserve cash through deferring certain of our marketing activities until our cash flow improves and we can recommence these activities with appropriate funding.

Investigating and pursuing transactions including mergers, and other business combinations and relationships deemed by the Board to present attractive opportunities to enhance shareholder value.

Net cash used in operating activities for fiscal 2013 was approximately $6,395,000. This use of cash was due in large part to our operational losses and increases in the balance in accounts receivable and prepaid and other current assets offset by an increase in accounts payable and decrease in inventories and inventory related advances.

Net cash used in investing activities during fiscal 2013 was approximately $3,293,000 and principally included $2,405,000 of cash paid in our acquisition of eDiets net of cash acquired of $691,344 which reflects pre-closing loans and $1,575,525 paid in connection with our intangible asset purchase of aseenontv.com in June 2012.



20



 


Net cash provided by financing activities for fiscal 2013 was approximately $7,356,000, and included $1,117,825 in proceeds net of related costs from the sale of convertible debt and $6,402,000 net of related costs from private placements of our common stock.

On November 14, 2012 (the “Initial Closing Date”), the Company entered into and consummated a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors (the “November 2012 Offering”) for the private sale of units at $50,050 per unit, each unit consisting of 71,500 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 35,750 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.80 per share. Accordingly, for each $0.70 invested, investors received one share of common stock and one-half of a warrant. On December 28, 2012, the Company completed the offering, selling a total of 145.6 Units and receiving aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $7,287,000. The Company issued an aggregate of 10,410,285 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 5,205,143 shares of common stock (the “2012 Warrants”) to the investors pursuant to the November 2012 Offering.

The 2012 Warrants are exercisable at any time within three years from the Initial Closing Date at an exercise price of $0.80 per share with cashless exercise in the event a registration statement covering the resale of the shares underlying the 2012 Warrants is not in effect within the time period set forth in the securities purchase agreement. The 2012 Warrants also provide for weighted average anti-dilution protection in the event that any shares of common stock, or securities convertible into common stock, are issued at less than the exercise price of the 2012 Warrants during any period in which such 2012 Warrants are outstanding, subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the 2012 Warrants.

If during a period of twelve months from the completion of the November 2012 Offering, the Company issues additional shares of common stock or other equity or equity-linked securities (the “Additional Shares”) at a purchase, exercise or conversion price less than $0.70 (subject to certain exceptions and such price is subject to adjustment for splits, recapitalizations, reorganizations), then the Company shall issue additional shares of common stock to the investors so that the effective purchase price per share paid for the common stock included in the units shall be the same per share purchase, exercise or conversion price of the Additional Shares.

The Company has provided the investors with “piggyback” registration rights with respect to the resale of the common stock and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the 2012 Warrants.

The Company engaged National Securities Corporation, a registered broker dealer to serve as placement agent and the placement agent received (a) selling commissions aggregating 10% of the gross proceeds of the November 2012 Offering, (b) a non-accountable expense allowance of 1% of the gross proceeds of the November 2012 Offering to defray offering expenses, (c) five-year warrants to purchase such number of shares of common stock as is equal to 10% of the shares of common stock (i) included as part of the units sold in the November 2012 Offering at an exercise price equal to $0.70 per share, and (ii) issuable upon exercise of the 2012 Warrants sold in the November 2012 Offering at an exercise price equal to $0.80 per share, and (d) 100,000 restricted shares of common stock.

The sale of the units pursuant to the November 2012 Offering triggered the automatic conversion of the Bridge Notes discussed below, which converted into an aggregate of 2,190,140 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,095,070 shares of common stock, exercisable at $0.80 per share. The warrants are exercisable for period of three years and contain the same terms as the 2012 Warrants defined above. The November 2012 Offering also triggered a weighted average ratchet anti-dilution adjustment on the warrants issued with the Bridge Notes and placement agent warrants issued in connection thereto. As such, the Company issued warrants to purchase an additional 1,137,735 shares of common stock to the former Bridge Note holders and warrants to purchase 227,546 shares of common stock to the placement agent. These warrants issued to the former Bridge Note holders and placement agent are exercisable at $0.77 per share through September 2015 and contain weighted average anti-dilution adjustment provisions.

The sale of the units pursuant to the November 2012 Offering also triggered purchase price protection provisions provided under the terms of the Company’s securities purchase agreement, dated October 28, 2011 (the “October 2011 SPA”) and warrants issued in connection with the October 2011 SPA were subject to full ratchet anti-dilution protection adjustment. As a result of the securities issued in the November 2012 Offering, the October 2011 SPA purchasers and warrant holders received an additional aggregate of 5,735,176 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 15,079,419 shares of common stock exercisable at $0.595 per share. These warrants include warrants issued to the placement agent in connection with its participation in the October 2011 SPA and related transactions.

During September 2012 we completed a private placement of 12% Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Bridge Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1,275,000. The Bridge Notes were issued to 11 accredited investors and bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum and were payable on or before the maturity date. Principal and accrued interest on the Bridge Notes automatically converted into securities identical to those sold to investors in the November 2012 Offering at a conversion price equal to 85% of the securities sold under the November 2012 Offering.

The indebtedness evidenced by the Bridge Notes was senior to, and had priority in right of payment over, all indebtedness of Company outstanding. Each investor also received a warrant exercisable for a period of three years to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing 50% of the principal amount of the Bridge Note held by the holder by the conversion price of the Bridge Note (collectively, the “Bridge Warrants”). Furthermore, the Bridge Warrants contain certain cashless exercise rights if after the six month anniversary of the initial exercise date of each Bridge Warrant there is no effective registration statement registering for the resale of the shares underlying the Bridge Warrants. The Bridge Warrants also provide for weighted average ratchet anti-dilution protection.

In connection with the issuance of the Bridge Notes, the Company engaged National Securities Corporation, a registered broker dealer, to act as the Company’s exclusive agent for the offering and paid a cash placement fee equal to 10% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of Bridge Notes sold to investors. As additional compensation, the Company issued to the placement agent, for nominal consideration, common stock purchase warrants equal to 10% of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Bridge Notes at an exercise price equal to $0.80 per share. The warrants provide the holder thereof with immediate cashless exercise rights and “weighted average” price protection right consistent with the terms of the Bridge Warrants and are exercisable for three years.

We received net proceeds of approximately $1,117,825 after payment of an aggregate of $127,500 of commissions and expense allowance to the placement agent, and approximately $29,675 of other offering and related costs in connection with the private placement.

In connection with this transaction, the Company recognized a total debt discount of $1,249,793, comprised of a recognized beneficial conversion feature of $533,032 and the fair value of detachable warrants totaling $716,761. As the Bridge Notes automatically converted into securities issued under the November 2012 Offering, the discount is being accredited to interest expense over a two month period. Accordingly, we recognized $1,249,793 in related interest for the year ended March 31, 2013.

Commitments

Leases

On January 20, 2010, the Company entered into a 38-month lease agreement for our 10,500 square foot headquarters facility in Clearwater, Florida. Terms of the lease provide for base rent payments of $6,000 per month for the first six months; a base rent of $7,500 per month for the next 18 months and $16,182 per month from January 2012 through February 2013. The increase in minimum rental payments over the lease term is not dependent upon future events or contingent occurrences. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 840 - Leases, the Company recognized lease expenses on a straight-line basis, which total $10,462 per month over the lease term.

On February 1, 2012, the Company entered into a new 36-month lease agreement on our existing headquarters facility. Terms of the lease provide for a base rent payments of $7,875 per month for the first twelve months, increasing 3% per year thereafter. The lease contains no provisions for a change in the base rent based on future events or contingent occurrences. In accordance with the provisions ASC 840-Leases, the Company is recognizing lease expenses on a straight-line basis, which total $8,114 per month over the lease term. In connection with the entering into the new leases, the Company recognized income of approximately $71,000 attributable to the recovery of the deferred rent obligation under the previous lease and wrote-off to lease expense $12,420 in security deposits attributable to the prior lease.

In September 2012 eDiets entered into a one year lease for office space in Pompano Beach, Florida. The lease covers approximately 8,800 square feet at a monthly base rent of $9,800 per month.

Other Commitments

Under the terms of the 2010 Private Placement, the Company provided that it would use its best reasonable efforts to cause the related registration statement to become effective within 180 days of the termination date, July 26, 2010, of the offering. We have failed to comply with this registration rights provision and are obligated to make pro rata payments to the subscribers under the 2010 Private Placement in an amount equal to 1% per month of the aggregate amount invested by the subscribers up to a maximum of 6% of the aggregate amount invested by the subscribers. The maximum amount of penalty to which the Company may be subject is $156,000. The Company had recognized an accrued penalty of $156,000 at both March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We are required to make estimates and judgments in preparing our financial statements that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. We base our estimates on our historical experience to the extent practicable and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances and at the time they are made. If our assumptions prove to be inaccurate or if our future results are not consistent with our historical experience, we may be required to make adjustments in our policies that affect our reported results. Our most critical accounting policies and estimates include our allowance for doubtful accounts, the inputs in determining the fair value of share based compensation and warrant liabilities, estimated sales returns, deferred taxes, goodwill and identifiable intangibles. We also have other key accounting policies that are less subjective and therefore, their application would not have a material impact on our reported results of operations. The following is a discussion of our most critical policies, as well as the estimates and judgments involved.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Our management believes the estimates utilized in preparing our consolidated financial statements are reasonable. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements attached hereto. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.


Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: The allowance for doubtful accounts which is based on an evaluation of our outstanding accounts receivable including the age of amounts due, the financial condition of our specific customers, knowledge of our industry unit and historical bad debt experience. This evaluation methodology has proved to provide a reasonable estimate of bad debt expense in the past and we intend to continue to employ this approach in our analysis of collectability. 

Allowance for Sales Returns: In the direct response industry, purchased items are generally returnable for a certain period after purchase. We attempt to estimate returns and provide an allowance for sales returns where applicable. Our estimates are based on historical experience and knowledge of the products sold. The allowance for estimated sales returns totaled $156,838 and $275,000 at March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses.

Goodwill: Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to periodic testing for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 350 " Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment". The test for impairment will be conducted annually or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change indicating that the fair value of the goodwill may be below its carrying amount. The Company determined that no events occurred or circumstances occurred through March 31, 2013 that would indicate that the fair value of goodwill may be below its carrying amount. However, if market conditions deteriorate, or if the Company is unable to execute on its strategies, it may be necessary to record impairment charges in the future.




23



 


Intangible Assets: Intangible assets include acquired customer relationships, URLs and trademarks. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets of five years in accordance with ASC Topic 350 "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment". Long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable.


Income Taxes: We use the asset and liability method to determine our income tax expense or benefit. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to recovered or settled. Any resulting net deferred tax assets are evaluated for recoverability and, accordingly, a valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.


Revenue recognition

We recognize revenue from product sales in accordance with FASB ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition. Following agreements or orders from customers, we ship products to our customers often through a third party facilitator. Revenue from product sales is only recognized when substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to our customers, the selling price is fixed and collection is reasonably assured. Typically, these criteria are met when our customers order is received by them and we receive acknowledgment of receipt by a third party shipper and collection is reasonably assured.

The Company has a return policy whereby the customer can return any product within 60-days of receipt for a full refund, excluding shipping and handling. However, historically the Company has accepted returns past 60-days of receipt. The Company provides an allowance for returns based upon specific product warranty agreements and past experience and industry knowledge. All significant returns for the periods presented have been offset against gross sales. The Company also provides a reserve for warranties, which is not significant and is included in accrued expense.

We also have offered our customers on a limited basis, services consisting of planning, shooting and editing infomercials to aid in the direct response marketing of their product or service. In these instances, revenue is recognized when the contracted services have been provided and accepted by the customer. Deposits, if any, on these services are recorded as deferred revenue until earned. Production costs associated with a given project are deferred until the related revenues are earned and recognized. We also recognize deferred revenue for our dietary meal delivery and online subscription service programs as payment is made in advance of the actual meal delivery. As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, we had recognized deferred revenue of $173,750 and $33,750, respectively.

The Company has a return policy on its ASTV sales whereby the customer can return any product within 60-days of receipt for a full refund, excluding shipping and handling. However, historically the Company has accepted returns past 60-days of receipt. The Company provides an allowance for returns based upon specific product warranty agreements and past experience and industry knowledge. All significant returns for the periods presented have been offset against gross sales. The Company also provides a reserve for warranty, which is not significant and is included in accrued expense.

eDiets’ meal delivery revenue is recognized upon delivery and transfer of title to the product. This occurs upon shipment from the Company’s fulfillment center and delivery to the end-customer. eDiets’ digital revenue is generated by the Company offering membership subscriptions to the proprietary content contained in its websites. Subscriptions are paid in advance, mainly via credit/debit cards, and cash receipts are recognized as deferred revenue and are recorded as revenue on a straight-line basis over the period of the digital plan subscription.

Share-based payments and warrants

We recognize share-based compensation expense on stock option awards. Compensation expense is recognized on that portion of option awards that are expected to ultimately vest over the vesting period from the date of grant. Employee options granted vest over their requisite service periods. We granted no stock options or other equity awards which vest based on performance or market criteria. We had applied an estimated forfeiture rate to all share-based awards, which represents that portion we expected would be forfeited over the vesting period. We reevaluate this analysis periodically and adjust our estimated forfeiture rate as necessary.

We utilized the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of our stock options and warrants. Calculating share-based compensation expense requires the input of highly subjective judgment and assumptions, including estimates of expected life of the award, stock price volatility, forfeiture rates and risk-free interest rates. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based awards represent our best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our share-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

Recent accounting pronouncements

The recent accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Off Balance Arrangements

As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term "off-balance sheet arrangement" generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

ITEM 9A.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to our Company, required to be disclosed in our SEC reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

·

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

·

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and

·

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.



25



 


Because of the inherent limitations, our management does not expect that our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide full assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, with a company have been detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2013. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Management's assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of these controls. Based on this assessment, our management has concluded that as of March 31, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial report. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to a permanent exemption of the SEC that permits the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Accordingly, our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2013, has not been audited by our auditors, EisnerAmper LLP or any other independent registered accounting firm.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 we determined that our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012 included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2012 could no longer be relied upon as a result of an error in the financial statements. This error resulted from a failure to identify and account for the expiration of a “down round” anti-dilution provision relating to a series of common stock purchase warrants that ceased to be recognized as a liability on August 29, 2012. We subsequently restated those financial statements in a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A as filed with the SEC on February 19, 2013. Accordingly, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 we modified our internal control over financial reporting to add additional procedures which we believe remediated this weakness in our disclosure controls and procedures in future periods. Other than this modification, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Corporate governance

Summary of corporate governance framework

We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of honest and ethical conduct in running our business efficiently, serving our shareholders’ interests and maintaining our integrity in the marketplace. To further this commitment, we have adopted our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which applies to all our directors, officers and employees. To assist in its governance, our Board has formed three standing committees composed entirely of independent directors, Audit, Compensation and Governance and Nominating committees. A discussion of each committee’s function is set forth below. Our by-laws, the charters of each Board committee, our Code Business Conduct and Ethics provide the framework for our corporate governance. Copies of our by-laws, committee charters, Code of Business Conduct and Ethics are available without charge upon written request to our Corporate Secretary.

Board of directors

The board of directors oversees our business affairs and monitors the performance of management. In accordance with our corporate governance principles, the independent members of our board of directors do not involve themselves in day-to-day operations. The independent directors keep themselves informed through discussions with our chief executive



28



 


officer and our chief financial officer, and by reading the reports and other materials that we send them and by participating in board of directors and committee meetings. Directors are elected for a one year term and hold office until their successors have been elected and duly qualified unless the director resigns or by reason of death or other cause is unable to serve in the capacity of director. If any director resigns, dies or is otherwise unable to serve out his or her term, or if the Board increases the number of directors, the Board may fill any vacancy by a vote of a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum exists. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall serve for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor. Vacancies occurring by reason of the removal of directors without cause may only be filled by vote of the shareholders.

We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates which may be recommended by our shareholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor has our board of directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. Further, when identifying nominees to serve as director, while we do not have a policy regarding the consideration of diversity in selecting directors, we seek to create a board of directors that is strong in its collective knowledge and has a diversity of skills and experience with respect to accounting and finance, management and leadership, vision and strategy, business operations, business judgment, industry knowledge and corporate governance. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our shareholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our Board has not considered or adopted any of these policies as we have never received a recommendation from any shareholder for any candidate to serve on our board of directors. Given our relative size, we do not anticipate that any of our shareholders will make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director nominees. In considering a director nominee, it is likely that our Board will consider the professional and/or educational background of any nominee with a view towards how this person might bring a different viewpoint or experience to our Board.

Board leadership structure and board’s role in risk oversight

The offices of chairman of the board and chief executive officer are separated. While the chairman of the board also holds the title of senior executive officer, our chief executive officer serves as our principal executive officer and our highest ranking executive officer. Our Board believes our current structure provides independence and oversight and facilitates the communication between senior management and the full board of directors regarding risk oversight, which the Board believes strengthens its risk oversight activities. Moreover, the separation of chairman of the board and chief executive officer allows the chief executive officer to better focus on his responsibilities of running the company, enhancing shareholder value and expanding and strengthening our business while allowing the chairman of the board to lead the Board in its fundamental role of providing independent oversight of management.

Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a number of risks, including liquidity risk, operational risk, strategic risk and reputation risk. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of the risks we face, while the Board, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, the board of directors has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed. To do this, the Chairman of the Audit Committee and other members of our board of directors meet regularly with management to discuss strategy and risks we face. Our chief financial officer attends many of the Board meetings and is available to address any questions or concerns raised by the Board on risk management and any other matters. The independent members of the Board work together to provide strong, independent oversight of our management and affairs through its standing committees and, when necessary, special meetings of independent directors.

Director independence

While the OTC Bulletin Board does not impose any qualitative standards requiring companies to have independent directors, the board of directors has determined that two of our directors, Mr. Adams and Dr. Pohlman have no relationship which, in the opinion of the board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and each is an “independent director” as defined in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.

Our independent directors may meet at any time in their sole discretion without any other directors or representatives of management present. Each independent director has access to the members of our management team or other employees as well as full access to our books and records. We have no policy limiting, and exert no control over, meetings of our independent directors.

Employment agreements

Our executive officers, as well as Mr. Harrington, are compensation pursuant to the terms of agreements with our company as hereinafter described.

Ronald C. Pruett, Jr.

On May 2, 2013, effective May 1, 2013, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Pruett to serve as our chief executive officer. The term of the agreement is for one year and will be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods unless a notice of non-renewal is given by either party or the agreement is otherwise terminated sooner in accordance with its provisions. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Pruett will receive an annual base salary of $275,000, together with an additional salary of $275,000 during the first year of his employment with us. Mr. Pruett’s base salary may be increased from time to time as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board.

In addition to his base salary, Mr. Pruett is entitled to receive an annual cash bonus calculated by reference to our actual performance during the immediately preceding fiscal year measured against a revenue and adjusted EBITDA (earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization) target to be established by Mr. Pruett and the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board. The bonus will be calculated on a sliding scale illustrated as follows:

Any bonus calculated as set forth above will be reduced by one-third until the aggregate amount of all such reductions is equal to $275,000. Mr. Pruett also received options to purchase 425,000 shares (the “First Option Grant”) of our common stock and a second option grant to purchase 2,625,000 shares (the “Second Option Grant”) of our common stock. The First Option Grant vested on the grant date and has an exercise price equal to the average of the high bid and low asked

prices of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on the trading day immediately preceding the grant date. The Second Option Grant has a per share exercise price of $0.70. The Second Option Grant will vest as follows:

If Mr. Pruett’s employment is terminated due to death, his estate will receive:

·

three months’ base salary at his then current rate in a lump sum payment, and

·

one year of continued coverage under our employee benefit plans.

If Mr. Pruett’s employment is terminated due to disability, he will receive:

·

six months’ base salary at his then current rate,

·

one year of continued coverage under our employee benefit plans, and

·

any earned but unpaid bonuses, provided that we may credit against such amounts any proceeds paid to Mr. Pruett with respect to any disability policy maintained for his benefit.

If Mr. Pruett’s employment is terminated by us without cause or following a change in control, as defined in the agreement, or by Mr. Pruett for good reason or following a change in control, Mr. Pruett will receive:

·

12 months’ base salary at his then current rate,

·

continued provision during such 12-month period of benefits under our employee benefit plans,

·

immediate vesting of all granted but unvested stock options, and

·

a prorated payment of any bonus or other payments earned in connection with any bonus plan in which Mr. Pruett participated at the time of termination.

The amount of each payment under the bonus salary component will be reduced by $1.00 for each $3.00 otherwise payable, until the aggregate amount of all such reductions, together with the aggregate amount of bonus reductions described above, equals $275,000.

Mr. Pruett will not be entitled to any compensation if his employment is terminated by us for cause or by Mr. Pruett in the absence of good reason. Prior to his employment, Mr. Pruett served as a consultant to the Company earning $57,000 during the year ending March 31, 2013.

Steve Rogai

Mr. Rogai served as our chief executive officer from May 2010 until March 2013. During fiscal 2013, his compensation was determined pursuant to the terms of a three-year employment agreement entered into in October 2011. Under the terms of this agreement, Mr. Rogai was engaged to serve as our chief executive officer and president at an annual base salary of $225,000, and was, in addition to base compensation, entitled to such bonus compensation as determined by our board of directors from time to time. In addition, he was entitled to receive reimbursement for all reasonable travel,



34



 


entertainment and miscellaneous expenses incurred in connection with the performance of his duties, as well as up to a vacation of two weeks per annum and participation in in any pension, insurance or other employment benefit plan as maintained by us for our executives, including programs of life and medical insurance and reimbursement of membership fees in professional organizations. The agreement also contains a non-competition and non-solicitation provision for a period of up to nine months from the date of termination.

On March 13, 2013, Mr. Rogai notified the board of directors of his decision to step down as our president and chief executive officer and a member of the board of directors effective immediately. Mr. Rogai also resigned from all other positions, offices and directorships of all other entities for which Mr. Rogai was serving at our request. Mr. Rogai agreed to serve as an advisor to our company during a transition period ending April 1, 2013.

In connection with Mr. Rogai’s resignation, we entered into the agreement and general release with him. By virtue of Mr. Rogai’s resignation and entry into the agreement and general release, the aforedescribed employment agreement terminated. Pursuant to the agreement and general release, Mr. Rogai will receive as severance:

·

12 months of his base salary of $225,000 payable in four equal quarterly installments,

·

the sum of $14,091 in four equal quarterly installments to cover Mr. Rogai’s COBRA premiums for 12 months under our group health plan,

·

$5,990 as accrued vacation pay, and

·

$3,000 as a transitional car allowance.

In addition, we agreed to vest all stock options held by Mr. Rogai, which will remain exercisable for the full term of their grant, notwithstanding any contrary provision in the applicable award agreements. In consideration of the foregoing severance amounts Mr. Rogai provided us with a release of claims against our company.

Kevin Harrington

Effective on October 28, 2011, we entered into a three year services agreement with Mr. Harrington and Harrington Business Development, Inc. to provide executive services and for Mr. Harrington to serve as chairman of the board of directors. Under the agreement Mr. Harrington initially received base compensation per annum of $300,000 and is entitled to such bonus compensation as determined by our board of directors from time to time. In addition, he is entitled to receive reimbursement for all reasonable travel, entertainment and miscellaneous expenses incurred in connection with the performance of his duties, as well as up to a vacation of two weeks per annum and participation in in any pension, insurance or other employment benefit plan as maintained by us for our executives, including programs of life and medical insurance and reimbursement of membership fees in professional organizations.

We have agreed to maintain a minimum of $5,000,000 of directors and officers liability coverage during his services term and to indemnify him to the fullest extent permitted under Florida law. In the event of termination for death or disability, his estate is entitled to receive three months base salary at the then current rate, payable in a lump sum and continued payment for a payment of one year following his death of benefits under any employee benefit plan extended from time to time by us to our senior executives. In the event he is terminated for cause or without good reason, as defined under the agreement, he has no right to compensation or reimbursement or to participate in any benefit programs, except as may otherwise be provided by law, for any period subsequent to the effective date of termination. In the event of termination without cause, for good reason or change of control, as defined under the agreement, we are obligated to pay him 12 months base salary at the then current rate, to be paid from the date of termination until paid in full, any accrued benefits under any employee benefit plan extended to him, and he is entitled to immediate vesting of all granted but unvested options and the payment on a pro rate basis of any bonus or other payments earned in connection with any bonus plan to which he is a participant. The agreement also contains a non-competition and non-solicitation provision for a period of up to nine months from the date of termination.

On March 8, 2013, we entered into an agreement with Mr. Harrington to amend certain terms of the aforedescribed services agreement dated October 28, 2011, whereby Mr. Harrington will continue to serve on our board of directors of the Company and:

·

his base annual compensation was reduced to $225,000;

·

his duties under the agreement do not require him to serve on our board of directors. However, he agreed not to sit on the board of directors of any entity that competes with our business and we agreed that he has the right to sit on the board of directors of a company that does not compete with us if our Board grants its consent by a



35



 


majority vote of its members, not including Mr. Harrington, the consent of which will not be unreasonably withheld;

·

he agreed to comply with all orders from our chief executive officer and the chief financial officer and any failure on his part to comply with an such order will give us the right to terminate the services agreement “for cause,” and

·

certain compensatory benefits payable to Mr. Harrington upon termination for death or disability or termination without cause, for good reason or change of control (as defined under the agreement) have been eliminated.

On May 21, 2013, we entered into the second amendment to the aforedescribed services agreement with Mr. Harrington, was further modified pursuant to which:

·

Section 2 (related to the requirement elimination of the requirement to serve on our Board and the ability to serve on other company boards) and Section 6 (related to adherence to orders from management) of the aforedescribed amendment to the services agreement dated March 8, 2013 were deleted in their entirety,

·

Section 2 of the services agreement was amended to define Mr. Harrington’s general duties as our principal brand ambassador, reporting to our chief executive officer, with whom he will develop and implement promotional strategies to expand and strengthen relationships between our company and our customers and between our company and our vendors, agents and suppliers, and

·

new sub-sections to Section 2 of the services agreement were added that provide:

·

Mr. Harrington has the right to undertake speaking engagements anywhere in the world, and to retain any speaking fees or other compensation resulting therefrom; provided, that such speaking engagements do not interfere or conflict with performance of his duties to us and are undertaken at his expense,

·

as it is expected Mr. Harrington will regularly become aware of new product ideas, proposals, submissions and other opportunities, we will have sole ownership of the opportunities and he will treat all opportunities as confidential information under the terms of the services agreement, and

·

Mr. Harrington is permitted to endorse products or services of third parties if authorized to do so by our chief executive officer.

License Agreement

On February 8, 2011 we entered into a license agreement with Mr. Harrington under which he granted us an exclusive, irrevocable, worldwide license to publish, reproduce or otherwise use:

·

his likeness in any form,

·

·

As consideration, we agreed to pay him a royalty equal to 10% of the “adjusted gross receipts” as defined in the agreement received by us resulting from Pitch Tank, other seminar events put on by us, and from speaking events put on by third parties at which Mr. Harrington has been invited to speak.

As consideration for amending the services agreement as described above, on March 8, 2013 we entered into an amendment to the licensing agreement, subject to the limitations provided under the services agreement, as amended, during the term of the services agreement Mr. Harrington agreed to license his name and likeness to us on a non-exclusive basis. Pursuant to the non-exclusive license, we agreed to pay Mr. Harrington 10% of any adjusted gross receipts (as defined in the license agreement) received by us from its use of Mr. Harrington’s likeness or image and, if Mr. Harrington generates any revenues from a Pitch Tank speaking engagement, he will pay 10% of the adjusted gross receipts to us.

On May 21, 2013, we entered into a second amendment to the license agreement with Mr. Harrington, pursuant to which:

·

the aforedescribed first amendment to the license agreement dated March 8, 2013 was deleted in its entirety,



36



 


·

Mr. Harrington retained, as owner, and we acquired, as licensee, exclusive rights to Mr. Harrington’s name, likeness and other intellectual property rights, and

·

Equity incentive plans

We presently have three equity compensation plans, including the As Seen On TV, Inc. 2010 Equity Compensation Plan, as amended, which we refer to as the Executive Plan, the As Seen On TV, Inc. Non-Executive Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, which we refer to as the Non-Executive Plan and the As Seen On TV, Inc. 2013 Equity Compensation Plan, as amended, which we refer to as the 2013 Plan. The purpose of the each plan is to attract, retain and provide incentives to our employees, officers, directors and consultants thereby increasing shareholder value. Following is a description of these plans.

In June 2010 our board of directors adopted our Executive Plan and our Non-Executive Plan and initially reserved 600,000 shares and 500,000 shares, respectively, for grants under these plans. Our shareholders approved these plans in March 2010 and May 2010, respectively. In February 2011, in connection with a reverse split of our common stock which would have proportionally reduced the number of shares reserved for issuance under these plans, our shareholders approved amendments to these plans changing the number of shares reserved for issuance to 300,000 shares and 300,000 shares, respectively.

In September 2012 our board of directors adopted our 2013 Plan and we initially reserved 3,000,000 shares for grants under this plan. During March 2013 our board of directors increased the number of shares available for grants under this plan to 6,000,000 shares and during May 2013 to 9,000,000 shares. Approval of this plan has not yet been submitted to a vote of our shareholders.

At March 31, 2013 there are outstanding:

·

options to purchase 900,000 shares of our common stock under the Executive Plan with exercise prices ranging from $0.68 to $1.50 per share;

·

options to purchase 800,000 shares of our common stock under the Non-Executive Plan with exercise prices ranging from $0.68 to $2.20 per share; and

·

options to purchase 1,417,500 shares of our common stock under the 2013 Plan with exercise prices ranging from $0.33 to $0.68 per share.

·

options to purchase 2,816,208 shares of our common stock to the former eDiets option holders in connection with the acquisition with exercise prices ranging from $0.21 to $17.84 per share.

Other than the number of shares reserved for issuance under each plan, the terms of the Executive Plan, the Non-Executive Plan and the 2013 Plan are identical.

The plans each provide for the grant of incentive stock options, or ISOs, nonqualified stock options, or NSOs, stock purchase rights, stock appreciation rights and restricted and unrestricted stock awards. Such shares are currently authorized and unissued, but reserved for issuance. The Executive Plan is reserved primarily for our executive officers and the Non-Executive Plan is reserved primarily for our non-executive employees. Grants under the 2013 Plan are made to our directors, executive officers, employees and consultants. Each plan has a term of 10 years. Accordingly, no grants may be made under the any plan after the 10 year anniversary of its date of adoption, but each plan will continue thereafter while previously granted stock options or stock awards remain outstanding and unexercised.



39



 


These plans are administered by our board of directors or a committee appointed by the board of directors, which we refer to as the Committee. The Committee has the power and authority to make grants of stock options or stock awards or any combination thereof to eligible persons under the plan, including the selection of such recipients, the determination of the size of the grant, and the determination of the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the plans, of any such grant including, but not limited to:

·

approval of the forms of agreement for use;

·

the applicable exercise price;

·

the applicable exercise periods;

·

the applicable vesting period;

·

the acceleration or waiver of forfeiture provisions; and

·

any other restrictions or limitations regarding the stock option or stock award.

The Committee also has the authority, in its discretion, to prescribe, amend and rescind the administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the plans, as it from time to time deems advisable. The Committee may construe and interpret the terms of the plans and any stock options or stock awards issued under the plans and any agreements relating thereto and otherwise supervise the administration of the plans. In addition, the Committee may modify or amend each stock option or stock award granted under the plans. All decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the plans are final and binding on all persons, including our company and all plan participants.

Our employees, directors and consultants providing services to us are eligible to be granted non-qualified stock options and stock awards under the plans. Our employees are also eligible to receive incentive stock options. The Committee shall select from among the eligible persons under the plans as recommended by our senior management, from time to time in its sole discretion, to make certain grants of stock options or stock awards, and the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, the number of shares covered by each grant.

Stock options may be granted to eligible persons alone or in addition to stock awards under the plans. Any stock option granted under the plans will be in such form as the Committee approves, and the provisions of a stock option award need not be the same with respect to each optionee. Recipients of stock options must enter into a stock option agreement with us, in the form determined by the Committee, setting forth the term, the exercise price and provisions regarding exercisability of the stock options granted thereunder. The Committee may grant either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options or a combination thereof, but the Committee may not grant incentive stock options to any individual who is not our employee. To the extent that any stock option does not qualify as an incentive stock option, it constitutes a separate non-qualified stock option. The Committee may not grant to any employee incentive stock options that first become exercisable in any calendar year in an amount exceeding $100,000.

Incentive stock options and nonstatutory stock options may not be granted at less than the fair market value of the underlying common stock at the date of the grant. Incentive stock options may not be granted at less than 110% of fair market value if the employee owns or is deemed to own more than 10% of the combined voting power of the all classes of our stock at the time of the grant. Stock options can be exercisable at various dates, as determined by the Committee and will expire no more than 10 years from the grant date, or no more than five years for any stock option granted to an employee who owns or is deemed to own 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of our stock. Once vested, stock options granted under the plans are exercisable in whole or in part at any time during the option period by giving written notice to us and paying the option price:

·

in cash or by certified check,

·

through delivery of shares of common stock having a fair market value equal to the purchase price, or

·

a combination of these methods.

The Committee may also permit cashless exercises of stock options.

Stock options issued under the plans may not be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During an optionee’s lifetime, a stock option may be exercised only by the optionee. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee, stock options that are exercisable at the time of a recipient’s termination of service with our company will continue to be exercisable for three months thereafter, or for 12 months thereafter if the optionee’s employment is terminated due to their death or disability.



40



 


Stock appreciation rights may be granted to eligible persons alone or in addition to stock options or other stock awards under the plans. The Committee will determine the number of shares of common stock to which the stock appreciation rights shall relate. Each stock appreciation right will have an exercise period determined by the Committee not to exceed 10 years from the grant date. Upon exercise of a stock appreciation right, the holder will receive cash or a number of shares of common stock equal to:

·

the number of shares for which the stock appreciation right is exercised multiplied by the appreciation in the fair market value of a share of common stock between the stock appreciation right grant date and exercise date, divided by

·

the fair market value of a share of common stock on the exercise date of the stock appreciation right.

Stock purchase rights may be granted to eligible persons alone or in addition to stock options or other stock awards under the plans. A stock purchase right allows a recipient to purchase a share of common stock at a price determined by the Committee. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, we have the right to repurchase the shares of common stock acquired upon exercise of the stock purchase right upon the recipient’s termination of service, for any reason, prior to the satisfaction of the vesting conditions established by the Committee. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, our right of repurchase will lapse as to 1/6th of the purchase shares on the date that is six months after the grant date, and as to an additional 1/6th of such shares every six months thereafter. Upon exercise of a stock purchase right, the purchaser will have all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares of common stock acquired.

Stock purchase rights may not be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and during a recipient’s lifetime, a purchase grant may be exercised only by the recipient. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if a recipient’s service to us terminates for any reason, all stock purchase rights held by the recipient will automatically terminate.

Restricted and unrestricted stock awards may be granted to eligible persons alone or in addition to stock options or other stock awards under the plans. Shares of common stock granted in connection with a restricted stock award are generally subject to forfeiture upon:

·

termination of the recipient’s service with our company prior to vesting. or

·

the failure by the recipient to meet performance goals established by the Committee as a condition of vesting.

Shares of common stock subject to a restricted stock award cannot be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until the applicable restrictions lapse. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, holders of shares of common stock granted in connection with a restricted stock award have the right to vote such shares and to receive any cash dividends with respect thereto during the restriction period. Any stock dividends will be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying shares of restricted stock. Unrestricted stock awards are outright grants of shares of common stock that are not subject to forfeiture.

If:

·

we merge or consolidate with another corporation,

·

there is an exchange of substantially all of our outstanding stock for shares of another entity in which our shareholders will own less than 50% of the voting shares of the surviving entity, or

·

we sell substantially all of our assets,

then, unless otherwise provided by the Committee in a grantee’s option or award agreement, each outstanding and unexercised stock option or stock award may be assumed by the successor corporation or an equivalent option, or stock award will be substituted by the successor. If, however, the successor does not assume the stock options and stock awards or substitute equivalent stock options or stock awards, then each outstanding and unexercised stock option and stock award shall become exercisable for a period of at least 20 days prior to the effective date of such transaction and our right of repurchase with respect to shares covered by all outstanding stock purchase rights and all restrictions with respect to restricted stock awards will lapse. Any stock options, or stock awards that are not exercised during such 20-day period shall terminate at the end of such period.

Stock options and stock awards made under the plans will be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of common stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the common stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of common stock effected without receipt of consideration by us.

eDiets’ plans

Pursuant to a merger agreement with eDiets, effective February 28, 2013, upon the closing of the transaction we assumed the eDiets.com Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan and the eDiets.com, Inc. Stock Option Plan and all options issuable under such plans totaling 2,913,807 options.

At the effective time of the merger with eDiets, each eDiets option that remained outstanding and unexercised following the effective time was deemed amended and is now exercisable for shares of our common stock. The terms and conditions of the options remained the same, except that the number of shares covered by the option, and the exercise price was adjusted to reflect the exchange ratio of 1.2667. The exercise price per share is now equal to the exercise price prior to the effective time, divided by the exchange ratio. The following discussion reflects options and shares adjusted for the exchange ratio.

ITEM 13.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

Transactions with Related Persons

Our former Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Rogai, had loaned $107,000 to the Company in the past to meet short-term working capital needs. The loan was unsecured and carried an interest rate of 12% per annum. In May 2010, this obligation was formalized through the issuance of a 12% Convertible Promissory Note payable in the principal amount of $107,000, due May 25, 2011. The 12% Convertible Promissory Note was convertible into common shares of the Company at $1.50 per share and carried an interest rate of 12% per annum. The conversion feature of the Promissory Note proved beneficial under the guidance of ASC 470--Debt. Accordingly, a beneficial conversion feature of $107,000 was recognized and was accreted to interest expense over the initial one year term of the note. The note payable to officer was fully accreted at March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively. On May 25, 2011, the Promissory Note was amended to extend the maturity one additional year under the same terms.

On August 18, 2011, Mr. Rogai entered into a Subordination Agreement relating to his note. In connection with our Bridge Debenture offering in the amount of $1,800,000, Mr. Rogai agreed to subordinate his position to that of the Bridge Offering investors. On October 28, 2011, the note in the principal amount of $107,000 was converted into Units offered in connection with the Company’s October 28, 2011 financing. As a result, Mr. Rogai received 133,750 common shares and 133,750 warrants exercisable at $1.00 per share. Interest expense recognized under the note totaled $0 and $23,271 for the years ending March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Under the anti-dilution protection provisions of 2011 Unit Offering, Mr. Rogai received an additional 46,082 shares of common stock and 91,040 additional warrants exercisable at $0.595 per common share, upon the November 14, 2012 closing of the Company’s 2012 Unit Offering.

On March 13, 2013, Mr. Rogai and the Company entered into an Agreement and General Release (“Severance Agreement”) terminating his employment as of that date. As part of this agreement and under the provisions of Mr. Rogai’s employment agreement, Mr. Rogai received severance including: (i) twelve (12) months base salary totaling $225,000, payable in four equal quarterly installments; (ii) quarterly payments totaling $14,091 representing reimbursement of one years’ health insurance premiums; (iii) $5,990 in accrued but unused vacation pay; and (iv) $3,000 in transitional auto allowance. The Company has recorded total severance expense of $242,091 related to this agreement during the year ended March 31, 2013, and $179,318 is included in accrued expenses as of March 31, 2013.

In addition, the Severance Agreement further provided for the modification of Mr. Rogai’s outstanding options, providing for vesting in full upon termination and extending their exercise period to the full term of the initial grant. This modification, including accelerated vesting, resulted in a non-cash charge to stock based compensation of approximately $327,000, which was recorded during the year ended March 31, 2013.

Concurrent with the Company’s acquisition of eDiets on February 28, 2013, the Company issued 988,654 shares of common stock and 494,328 common stock purchase warrants in settlement of $600,000 of related eDiets party debt and $92,057 in related interest to an eDiets director and one former director. At March 31, 2013, the Company had outstanding a $100,000 note payable to a director, which bears interest at 5% per annum and is due June 30, 2013. For the period from February 28, 2013 through March 31, 2013, the Company recognized interest expense of $425 related to this note which is accrued at March 31, 2013.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

As Seen On TV, Inc.



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of As Seen On TV, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficiency), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2013. The financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of As Seen On TV, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2013 and 2012 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan considering these matters are also described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 1.

Description of Our Business, Liquidity and Going Concern


Description of Our Business

As Seen On TV, Inc. (“ASTV”, “we”, or the “Company”) is a direct response marketing company and owner of AsSeenOnTV.com and eDiets.com. We identify, develop and market consumer products for global distribution via TV, Internet and retail channels. Following our February 2013 acquisition of eDiets.com, Inc., our business is organized along two segments, the As Seen On TV (“ASTV”) segment is a direct response marketing company that identifies and advises in the development and marketing of consumer products. The eDiets segment is a subscription-based nationwide weight-loss oriented meal delivery service. In fiscal 2013, the ASTV and eDiets segments represented approximately 92% and 8%, respectively, of our annual net revenues. Our fiscal 2013 net revenues included one month revenues from eDiets’ for approximately $794,000.

On February 28, 2013, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of eDiets.com, Inc. (“eDiets”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among our company, eDiets Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of our company, and eDiets.com, dated October 31, 2012. Following the closing, eDiets became a wholly owned subsidiary of our company. (See Note 3.)

Since closing the acquisition of eDiets, we have commenced implementing internal changes which, when completed, will permit us to operate as a combined organization, utilizing common information and communication systems, operating procedures, financial controls and human resources practices.

ASTV, a Florida corporation, was organized in November 2006. Our executive offices are located in Clearwater, Florida.

ASTV

ASTV generates revenues primarily from three channels, including direct response sales of consumer products, sale of consumer products through a “live-shop” TV venue and ownership of the URL AsSeenOnTV.com which operates as a web based outlet for our company and other direct response businesses. In addition, ASTV generates limited revenue through the production of infomercials for third parties and direct response related speaking engagements.

Inventors and entrepreneurs submit products or business concepts for our review. Once we identify a suitable product or concept, we negotiate to obtain global marketing and distribution rights. These marketing and distribution agreements stipulate profit sharing, typically a royalty to the inventor or product owner. As of the date of this report, we have marketed several products with limited success.

eDiets

eDiets develops and markets Internet-based (www.ediets.com) diet and fitness programs. eDiets offers a subscription-based nationwide weight-loss oriented meal delivery service and it has been offering digital subscription-based plans in the United States since 1998, when it launched its first diet plan. Digital diet plans are personalized according to an individual’s weight goals, food and cooking preferences, and include the related shopping lists and recipes.

Liquidity and Going Concern

At March 31, 2013, we had a cash balance of approximately $2.4 million, a working capital deficit of approximately $9.6 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $13.6 million. As we have experienced losses from operations since our inception in October 2009, we have relied on a series of private placements and convertible debentures to fund our operations. The Company cannot predict how long it will continue to incur further losses or whether it will ever become profitable which is dependent upon the frequency and success of new and existing products.

We have commenced implementing, and will continue to implement, various measures to address our financial condition, including:

·

Continuing to seek debt and equity financing and possible funding through strategic partnerships.

·

Curtailing certain operations where feasible to conserve cash through deferring certain of our marketing activities until our cash flow improves and we can recommence these activities with appropriate funding.




F-8



AS SEEN ON TV, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Continued)




·

Investigating and pursuing transactions including mergers, and other business combinations and relationships deemed by the board of directors to present attractive opportunities to enhance stockholder value.


There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional funding as may be needed to continue our operations at currently planned levels. If these efforts prove unsuccessful, we could be required to significantly curtail our operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Note 2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Basis of Presentation


Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Our management believes the estimates utilized in preparing our consolidated financial statements are reasonable. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.


Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: The allowance for doubtful accounts which is based on an evaluation of our outstanding accounts receivable including the age of amounts due, the financial condition of our specific customers, knowledge of our industry unit and historical bad debt experience. This evaluation methodology has proved to provide a reasonable estimate of bad debt expense in the past and we intend to continue to employ this approach in our analysis of collectability. 

Allowance for Sales Returns: In the direct response industry, purchased items are generally returnable for a certain period after purchase. We attempt to estimate returns and provide an allowance for sales returns where applicable. Our estimates are based on historical experience and knowledge of the products sold. The allowance for estimated sales returns totaled $156,838 and $275,000 at March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses.

Goodwill: Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to periodic testing for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 350 " Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment". The test for impairment will be conducted annually or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change indicating that the fair value of the goodwill may be below its carrying amount. The Company determined that no events occurred or circumstances occurred through March 31, 2013 that would indicate that the fair value of goodwill may be below its carrying amount. However, if market conditions deteriorate, or if the Company is unable to execute on its strategies, it may be necessary to record impairment charges in the future.


Intangible Assets: Intangible assets include acquired customer relationships, URLs and trademarks. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the assets of five years in accordance with ASC Topic 350 "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment". Long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable.


Income Taxes: We use the asset and liability method to determine our income tax expense or benefit. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to recovered or settled. Any resulting net deferred tax assets are evaluated for recoverability and, accordingly, a valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are recorded in the balance sheets at cost, which approximates fair value. All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash, totaling $450,000 at March 31, 2013, represents funds held by eDiets credit card processors.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue from product sales in accordance with FASB ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition. Following agreements or orders from customers, we ship product to our customers often through a third party facilitator. Revenue from product sales is only recognized when substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to our customers, the selling price is fixed and collection is reasonably assured. Typically, these criteria are met when our customer’s order is received and we receive acknowledgment of receipt by a third party shipper and collection is reasonably assured.

We also have offered our customers on a limited basis, services consisting of planning, shooting and editing infomercials to aid in the Direct Response marketing of their product or service. In these instances, revenue is recognized when the contracted services have been provided and accepted by the customer. Deposits, if any, on these services are recorded as deferred revenue until earned. Production costs associated with a given project are deferred until the related revenues are earned and recognized. We also recognize deferred revenue for our dietary meal delivery and online subscription service programs as payment is made in advance of the actual meal delivery and membership subscription period. As of March 31, 2013 and 2012, we had recognized deferred revenue of $173,750 and $33,750, respectively.

The Company has a return policy on its ASTV sales whereby the customer can return any product within 60-days of receipt for a full refund, excluding shipping and handling. However, historically the Company has accepted returns past 60-days of receipt. The Company provides an allowance for returns based upon specific product warranty agreements and past experience and industry knowledge. All significant returns for the periods presented have been offset against gross sales. The Company also provides a reserve for warranty, which is not significant and is included in accrued expense.

eDiets’ meal delivery revenue is recognized upon delivery and transfer of title to the product. This occurs upon shipment from the Company’s fulfillment center and delivery to the end-customer. eDiets’ digital revenue is generated by the Company offering membership subscriptions to the proprietary content contained in its websites. Subscriptions are paid in advance, mainly via credit/debit cards, and cash receipts are recognized as deferred revenue and are recorded as revenue on a straight-line basis over the period of the digital plan subscription.

Receivables

Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from the sale of our direct response, home shopping related products and dietary programs. Our allowance for doubtful accounts at March 31, 2013 and 2012, totaled $152,000 and $75,000, respectively. The allowances are estimated based on historical customer experience and industry knowledge.

Inventories and Advances on Inventory Purchases

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using a first-in, first-out, or FIFO, method. We review our inventory for excess or obsolete inventory and write-down obsolete or otherwise unmarketable inventory to its estimated net realizable value.

Advances on inventory purchases represent payments made to our product suppliers in advance of delivery to the Company. It is common industry practice to require a substantial deposit against products ordered before commencement of manufacturing, particularly with off-shore suppliers. Additional advance payments may also be required upon achievement of certain agreed upon manufacturing or shipment benchmarks. Upon delivery and receipt by the Company of the items ordered, and the Company taking title to the goods, the balances are transferred to inventory.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share 

Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted effect of all common shares issued and outstanding and is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation plus the number of common shares, if any, that would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding. For the year ended March 31, 2012, no potentially issuable shares were reflected in a diluted calculation as the inclusion of potentially issuable shares would be anti-dilutive.

Share-Based Payments

We recognize share-based compensation expense on stock option awards under the provisions of ASC 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation. Compensation expense is recognized on that portion of option awards that are expected to ultimately vest over the vesting period from the date of grant. All options granted vest over their requisite service periods which can vary from 6 months to 5 years. We granted no stock options or other equity awards which vest based on performance or market criteria. We had applied an estimated forfeiture rate to all share-based awards, which represents that portion we expected would be forfeited over the vesting period. We reevaluate this analysis periodically and adjust our estimated forfeiture rate as necessary.

We utilized the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of our stock options. Calculating share-based compensation expense requires the input of highly subjective judgment and assumptions, including estimates of expected life of the award, stock price volatility, forfeiture rates and risk-free interest rates. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based awards represent our best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our share-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.



F-12



AS SEEN ON TV, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Continued)



In addition, under the provisions of ASC 805—Business Combinations, the Company recognized as stock-based compensation the difference in fair value between the eDiets options outstanding at the acquisition date and the replacement ASTV options granted. The fair value of the eDiets’ options replaced was recorded as consideration transferred in the acquisition. The excess fair value of the ASTV replacement options over the fair value of the eDiets options was recognized as compensation cost in the year ended March 31, 2013 since substantially all the options were fully vested. Accordingly, the Company recorded $694,000 in stock-based compensation in March 2013 related to these replacement options.

Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to periodic testing for impairment. The test for impairment will be conducted annually or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change indicating that the fair value of the goodwill may be below the carrying amount. The Company recognizes that if market conditions deteriorate or if we are unable to successfully implement revised program strategies, impairment charges may be indicated in the future.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review our long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and acquired intangibles subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. Impairment losses are recorded for the excess, if any, of the carrying value over the fair value of the long-lived assets. No indicators of impairment existed at March 31, 2013 or 2012, respectively.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740 — Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, we consider tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which we operate, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of FASB ASC 740 — Income Taxes.

FASB ASC 740 also requires that we recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are held with financial institutions in the United States and from time to time we may have balances that exceed the amount of insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation on such deposits. Concentration of credit risk with respect to our trade accounts receivable to our customers is limited to $2,559,332 at March 31, 2013. Credit is extended to our customers, based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and collateral is not required.

Advertising and Promotional Costs

Advertising and promotional costs are expensed when incurred and totaled approximately $141,000 and $170,000 for years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC 820 — Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB ASC 820 requires disclosures about the fair value of all financial instruments, whether or not recognized, for financial statement purposes. Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments are based on pertinent information available to us on March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Accordingly, the estimates presented in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized on disposition of the financial instruments.

FASB ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded instruments and listed equities.

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 includes financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models consider various assumptions, including volatility factors, current market prices and contractual prices for the underlying financial instruments. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of notes payable are based on borrowing rates that are available to the Company for loans with similar terms, collateral and maturity. The estimated fair value of notes payable approximates the carrying value. Determination of fair value of related party payables is not practicable due to their related party nature.

The Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments as assets or liabilities in the financial statements and measures them at fair value with changes in fair value reflected as current period income or loss unless the derivatives qualify as hedges. As a result, certain warrants issued in connection with various offerings were accounted for as derivatives. Additionally, the Company determined that the conversion feature on the convertible debentures issued in August 2011 and May 2011 qualifies for derivative accounting. See Note 9, Warrant Liabilities and Note 12, Notes Payable, for additional discussion.

Debt Issuance Costs

The Company capitalizes debt issuance costs and amortizes these costs to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the related debt.

New Accounting Standards

In September 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Testing Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, which provides an entity the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. The qualitative assessment is optional, allowing companies to go directly to the quantitative assessment. ASU No. 2012-02 is effective for our annual and interim impairment tests performed subsequent to January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU No. 2012-02 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. All inter-company account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation and certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

eDiets Acquisition


On February 28, 2013, the Company completed the purchase of 100% of the outstanding common stock of eDiets.com, Inc., a publicly held company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (“eDiets”), offering subscription-based weight-loss oriented meal delivery service and individualized digital subscription based weight-loss and wellness programs. On February 28, 2013, we acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of eDiets pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among our company, eDiets Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of our company, and eDiets, dated October 31, 2012. At closing, we issued an aggregate of 19,077,270 shares of our common stock, at the ratio of 1.2667 shares of our common stock for each outstanding share of eDiets’ common stock, to the eDiets’ shareholders. Following the closing, eDiets became a wholly owned subsidiary of our company.

We believe the acquisition of eDiets could create a stronger, more scalable business and facilitate our strategic objective of becoming one of the top providers of ecommerce direct response and dietary and wellness programs. In addition, while there can be no assurance, the acquisition allows us to expand our product offerings, realize potential synergies in marketing and media purchases, potential cost savings in administrative expenses and the costs associated with public company compliance and opportunities related to cross-selling of existing products.

The total purchase price for eDiets was approximately $15.1 million. The purchase price consisted of approximately (i) $2.4 million in cash, (ii) $11.1 million in the Company’s common stock, valued based on the closing price of the stock on February 28, 2013, (iii) $0.9 million representing the fair value of the Company’s options issued to eDiets’ employees and warrants issued to eDiets consultants, and (iv) assumed liability of $600,000 in principal and $92,057 of related accrued interest in eDiets notes payable to related parties converted into 988,654 shares of common stock at $0.70 per share in accordance with the agreement and 494,328 warrants of the Company. In accordance with accounting standards of business combinations, we accounted for the acquisition of eDiets under the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition were recorded in the consolidated financial statements at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets has been recorded as goodwill. eDiets’ results of operations are included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

The determination of the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed required management to make significant estimates and assumptions. We determined the fair value by applying established valuation techniques, based on information that management believed to be relevant to this determination.

The allocation of the purchase price is incomplete and based on preliminary data which could change when final valuation of certain intangible assets is obtained. We expect to have the final valuation report by the end of our second fiscal quarter of 2014.

The purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net liabilities acquired by $9,300,000, which was recorded as goodwill. Acquisition costs, consisting of legal, consulting and other costs related to the acquisition aggregating approximately $278,000, including $82,650 for an acquisition consulting fee payable in 142,000 shares of common stock which have not been issued as of March 31, 2013, have been expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2013.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any revenues or expenses related to the eDiets business on or prior to February 28, 2013, the closing date of the acquisition. The consolidated statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2013, includes $794,000 of revenues and a net loss of $227,000 related to eDiets for the period from March 1, 2013 through March 31, 2013.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company acquired $463,672 of notes payable. $100,000 due to a former director of eDiets, $100,000 due to a former director of eDiets who is currently a director of the Company and $263,672 due to a former landlord of eDiets. The annual interest rate on these notes is 5%.

In addition, under the provisions of ASC 805—Business Combinations, the Company recognized as stock-based compensation the difference in fair value between the eDiets options outstanding at the acquisition date and the replacement ASTV options granted. The fair value of the eDiets’ options replaced was recorded as consideration in the acquisition. The excess fair value of the ASTV replacement options over the fair value of the eDiets options was recognized as compensation cost in the year ended March 31, 2013 since substantially all of the options were fully vested. Accordingly, the Company recorded $694,000 in stock-based compensation in March 2013.

As a result of our acquisition of eDiets, our tax valuation allowance decreased by approximately $2.91 million, resulting in a net decrease for the year of $0.42 million. At the time of acquisition, eDiets had approximately $61.2 million in net operating loss carryforwards. Those net operating loss carryforwards will be subject to the Internal Revenue Code 382 ownership change rules which will limit future use by eDiets, as a subsidiary of the Company, to approximately $0.50 million per year.

Major Customers


Major customers are those customers that account for more than 10% of revenues. For the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, 12% and 37% of revenues were derived from two major customers and the accounts receivable from these major customers represented approximately 11% of total accounts receivable as of March 31, 2013. The loss of these customers would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

Note 5.

Asset Purchase


On May 27, 2011, the Company entered into a binding letter agreement with Seen on TV, LLC (“Seen On TV”), a Nevada limited liability company, with no affiliation with the Company, and Ms. Mary Beth Gearhart (formerly Fasano), its president. The letter agreement provided that we would obtain ownership of certain Seen on TV intangible assets, primarily consisting of the domain names “asseenontv.com” and “seenontv.com”. Upon entering into the binding letter agreement, we issued 250,000 shares of restricted common stock, with a fair value of $500,000 on the contract date, and an initial cash payment of $25,000 to Ms. Gearhart. In addition, we granted 50,000 warrants to issue common shares, initially exercisable at $7.00 per share for a period of three years with a grant date fair value of approximately $162,000. Further, we made five additional monthly payments of $5,000 to the seller and a $10,000 contribution to a designated charitable organization. All payments made under the initial letter agreement, including the fair value of securities and an additional $7,000 paid for use of the URL “asseenontv.co.uk” totaled $729,450 at March 31, 2012.

On June 28, 2012, the Company finalized the asset purchase agreement with Seen on TV agreeing to (i) pay an additional $1,560,000 in cash, (ii) issue an additional 250,000 shares of restricted stock, (iii) issue 250,000 common stock purchase warrants, exercisable at $0.64 per share exercisable for three years from issuance, (iv) modifying the exercise price of the 50,000 common stock purchase warrants issued in May 2011 from $7.00 per share to $1.00 per share and extending their term, and (v) making five annual payments of $10,000 per year to a charitable organization designated by Seen on TV. This obligation was recorded with the current component of $10,000 being reported with accrued expenses and $40,000, the non-current portion, being reported as debt – noncurrent on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2013. The Company agreed that so long as the seller owns at least 250,000 common shares received under the purchase agreement, if we were to issue additional shares of common stock, the seller will be entitled to receive additional shares sufficient to maintain their proportional ownership in the Company. The Company issued an additional 284,757 shares under this agreement as result of the November 2012 and December 2012 Private Placements (Note 8) and is obligated to issue an additional 316,267 shares under this agreement primarily as a result of the eDiets merger, at March 31, 2013.

This transaction did not meet the criteria of a business combination within the guidelines of ASC 805—Business Combinations, and therefore was accounted for as an asset purchase. The transaction contained no contingent consideration and no liabilities were assumed contingent or otherwise. Accordingly, the assets acquired, all identifiable intangible assets, were recognized based on our costs of the assets acquired.

A summary of the total costs of the assets both under the initial May 27, 2011 binding letter agreement and the June 22, 2012 Asset Purchase Agreement were as follows:

The Company accounted for the intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350—Intangibles-Goodwill and Other. As the intangibles we acquired are not subject to legal, regulatory, contractual or other factors which limit their useful life, the potential economic benefits to the Company are considered indefinite within the meaning of the related guidance. Accordingly, no amortization of the related costs is being recognized. However, the Company recognizes the intangible assets are subject to review for potential impairment and if impairment were to be noted, an appropriate reduction in the carrying value of the assets would be recorded

Private Placements


On June 15, 2011 the Company and approximately twenty accredited investors entered into a securities purchase agreement and completed a closing of a private offering of 292,500 shares of the Company’s common stock and three series of warrants to purchase up to 585,000 shares of common stock, in the aggregate, for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,170,000. The Company sold the shares at an initial purchase price of $4.00 per share, which may be adjusted downward, but not to less than $2.00 per share, under certain circumstances. In addition to the shares, the Company issued: (i) Series A Common Stock purchase warrants to purchase up to 292,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share; (ii) Series B Common Stock purchase warrants to purchase up to 146,250 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share and (iii) Series C Common Stock purchase warrants to purchase up to 146,250 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share.

In August 2011, a majority of the investors in the June 15, 2011 private offering, entered into a Notice, Consent, Amendment and Waiver Agreement (“Amendment Agreement”) with the Company in connection with the Bridge Debenture (defined below) offering. Under the terms of the Amendment Agreement, all the investors (i) waived any right to participate in the Bridge Debenture offering or related offerings, (ii) waived a provision prohibiting certain subsequent equity sales and (iii) an amendment to per share price protection. In exchange, the Company lowered the sale price of the June 15, 2011 private offering from $4.00 per share to $2.00 per share and according issued an additional 292,500 common shares under that agreement to the investors.

The Company engaged a registered broker dealer in connection with the offering and the broker dealer received a selling commission in cash of 10 percent of the aggregate funds raised, with an additional two percent in non-accountable cash expense allowance. In addition, the Company issued to the broker dealer common stock purchase warrants equal to 10 percent of (i) the number of shares and (ii) the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, with an exercise price of $3.00 per share.

On August 29, 2011, the Company raised aggregate gross proceeds of $1,800,000 under a private placement of 12% Senior Convertible Debentures (the “Bridge Debentures”) with six accredited investors. Investors purchased Bridge Debentures, in the aggregate principal amount of $1,800,000. The Bridge Debentures carried interest at a rate of 12% per annum and were payable quarterly. Principal and accrued interest on the Bridge Debentures would automatically convert into equity securities identical to those sold to investors in the Company’s next offering of at least $4 million of gross proceeds of equity or equity linked securities (excluding the principal amount under the Bridge Debentures) that was subsequently consummated during the term of the Bridge Debentures at a conversion price equal to 80% of the price paid by investors in the subsequent offering. The Bridge Debentures were due and payable on March 1, 2012. In the event a qualified financing was not consummated on or before the maturity date, the entire principal amount of the Bridge Debenture, along with all accrued interest thereon, would, at the option of the holder, be convertible into the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to $2.00 per share. The Company determined that the conversion option in the debentures was beneficial at issuance. As such, the Company recorded a discount from the beneficial conversion option of approximately $244,000 which was accreted to interest expense throughout the term of the Bridge Debentures, through March 1, 2012.

Each investor also received a Bridge Warrant exercisable for a period of three years from the closing date to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the principal amount of the Bridge Debenture by the Conversion Price at an exercise price equal to $2.00, subject to adjustment. Under the terms of the Bridge Warrant, the investor received cashless exercise rights in the event the underlying shares of common stock are not registered at the time of exercise. The Bridge Debentures and Bridge Warrants also provided for full-ratchet anti-dilution protection in the event that any shares of common stock, or securities convertible into common stock, are issued at less than the exercise price of the Warrants, except in connection with the following issuances of the Company's common stock, or securities convertible into common stock: (i) shares issuable under currently outstanding securities, including those authorized under stock plans, (ii) securities issuable upon the exchange or exercise of the Bridge Debenture or Bridge Warrants, (iii) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions, or (iv) securities issued to the placement agent. See Note 9 for additional information about the Bridge Warrants.

On October 28, 2011 the Company, entered into and consummated a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors for the private sale (the “2011 Unit Offering”) of 243.1 units at $50,000 per Unit. Each Unit consisting of (i) 62,500 shares of common stock, and (ii) warrants to purchase 62,500 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $1.00 per share. Accordingly, for each $0.80 invested, investors received one share of common stock and one Warrant. The Company received gross proceeds of $12,155,000 (net proceeds of approximately $10,610,653 after commissions and offering related expenses) and issued an aggregate of 15,194,695 shares of common stock and 15,193,750 Warrants to the investors pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.

On November 18, 2011, the Company sold an additional 6.9 Units under the Securities Purchase Agreement, receiving an additional $345,000 in gross proceeds (net proceeds of $283,600 after commissions and offering related expenses), issuing an additional aggregate of 431,250 shares of Common Stock and 431,250 Warrants to investors. The October 28, 2011 and November 18, 2011, closings brought the total raised under the Securities Purchase Agreement to $12,500,000.

The Warrants are exercisable at any time within five years from the closing date of the 2011 Unit Offering at an exercise price of $1.00 per share with cashless exercise rights in the event a registration statement covering the resale of the shares underlying the Warrants is not in effect within six months of the completion of the Offering. The Warrants also provide for full-ratchet anti-dilution protection in the event that any shares of common stock, or securities convertible into common stock, are issued at less than the exercise price of the Warrants during any period in which the Warrants are outstanding, subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Warrants.

If during a period of two years from the completion of the 2011 Unit Offering, the Company issues additional shares of common stock or other equity or equity-linked securities at a purchase, exercise or conversion price less than $0.80 (subject to certain exceptions and such price is subject to adjustment for splits, recapitalizations, reorganizations), then the Company shall issue additional shares of common stock to the investors so that the effective purchase price per share paid for the common stock included in the Units shall be the same per share purchase, exercise or conversion price of the additional shares.

The Company has provided the investors with “piggyback” registration rights with respect to the resale of the common stock and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.

The Company engaged a registered broker dealer to serve as placement agent who received (a) selling commissions aggregating 10% of the gross proceeds of the 2011 Unit Offering, (b) a non-accountable expense allowance of 2% of the gross proceeds of the 2011 Unit Offering to defray offering expenses, (c) five-year warrants to purchase such number of shares of common stock as is equal to 10% of the shares of common stock (i) included as part of the Units sold in this 2011 Unit Offering at an exercise price equal to $0.80 per share, and (ii) issuable upon exercise of the Warrants sold in the 2011 Unit Offering at an exercise price equal to $1.00 per share, and (d) 100,000 restricted shares of common stock.

The closing of the 2011 Unit Offering triggered the automatic conversion of all principal and accrued interest on the Bridge Debentures into Units in the 2011 Unit Offering at a conversion price equal to 80% of the price paid by investors in the 2011 Unit Offering, or $0.64 per share of common stock and Warrant. The holders of the Bridge Debentures received an aggregate of 2,869,688 shares of common stock and Warrants to purchase 2,869,688 shares of common stock. Each investor in the Bridge Offering also received a Bridge Warrant exercisable for a period of three years from the closing date of the Bridge Offering to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the principal amount of the Bridge Debenture by the conversion price of $0.64 per share. Accordingly, at the closing of the 2011 Unit Offering and based on the full ratchet anti-dilution provisions of the Bridge Warrants, investors in the Bridge Offering received Bridge Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,789,064 shares of common stock. The Bridge Warrants continued to provide for full-ratchet anti-dilution protection if the Company issues at any time prior to August 30, 2012, any shares of common stock, or securities convertible into common stock, at a price less than the Bridge Warrant exercise price, subject to certain exceptions.

Further, in connection with the 2011 Unit Offering, Octagon Capital Partners, the holder of the Company’s debenture in the principal amount of $750,000 issued on April 8, 2011, agreed to amend the Debenture to provide for automatic conversion into the Units in the 2011 Unit Offering at the Debenture Conversion Price. Accordingly, the holder of the Debenture received 1,171,875 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 1,171,875 shares of common stock exercisable at $1.00 per share.

The placement agent also served as exclusive placement agent for the Bridge Offering. Accordingly, pursuant to the terms of the offering of the Bridge Debentures, at the closing of the 2011 Unit Offering the placement agent and its assignees received warrants with full ratchet and anti-dilution protection until August 29, 2012, to purchase an aggregate of 1,165,875 shares of common stock exercisable at $0.64 per share, each warrant exercisable on or before August 29, 2014.

In connection with the 2011 Unit Offering, Steve Rogai, the Company’s former President and Chief Executive Officer, agreed to convert a 12% convertible promissory note payable to him by the Company in the principal amount of $107,000 (the “Rogai Note”), together with accrued interest thereon, into Units in the 2011 Unit Offering at a conversion price of $0.80 per Share and Warrant. As such, Mr. Rogai was issued 133,750 shares of common stock and 133,750 Warrants in satisfaction of the Rogai Note. Under the anti-dilution protection provisions of 2011 Unit Offering, Mr. Rogai received an additional 46,082 shares of common stock and 91,040 additional warrants exercisable at $0.595 per common share, upon the November 14, 2012, closing of the Company’s 2012 Unit Offering. Also, the Company’s executive officers each executed a lock up agreement which provides that each officer shall not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of their shares of common stock or other securities of the Company for a period ending 270 days after the completion of the 2011 Unit Offering. Following this initial lock-up period, each officer has agreed to an additional six-month lock-up period for their shares during which they each may not sell more than 5,000 shares of common stock per month.

On September 20, 2012 the Company completed a private placement of securities with 11 accredited investors under a securities purchase agreement dated September 7, 2012 (the “Bridge Note Offering”), raising aggregate gross proceeds of $1,275,000. Investors purchased from the Company 12% Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Bridge Notes”), in the aggregate principal amount of $1,275,000. The Bridge Notes bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum. Principal and accrued interest on the Bridge Notes automatically converted into equity securities identical to those sold to investors in the November 2012 Offering (defined below) at a conversion price equal to 85% of the securities issued under the November 2012 Offering. The Notes were due and payable on March 20, 2013. The indebtedness evidenced by the Bridge Notes was senior to, and had priority in right of payment over, all indebtedness of Company outstanding and were secured by a first lien and security interest in all of the assets of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, TV Goods, Inc. pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement dated as of September 7, 2012, by the Company in favor of Collateral Agents, LLC as agent of the Investors.

Each Investor also received a warrant (the “2012 Bridge Warrant”) exercisable for a period of three years from the Closing Date to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing 50% of the principal amount of the Bridge Note held by the holder by the conversion price of the Bridge Note. The initial exercise price of the 2012 Bridge Warrants was $0.80 per share, subject to adjustment. Furthermore, if after the 6 month anniversary of the initial exercise date of each 2012 Bridge Warrant there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for the resale of, the warrant shares by the holder, but excluding a period of any certain allowed delay, the 2012 Bridge Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, on a cashless basis.

The 2012 Bridge Warrant also provides for weighted average ratchet anti-dilution protection in the event that any shares of common stock, or securities convertible into common stock, are issued at less than the exercise price of the warrants, except in connection with the following issuances of the Company's common stock, or securities convertible into common stock: (i) shares issuable under currently outstanding securities, including those authorized under stock plans, (ii) shares of common stock issued pursuant to a stock split or dividend; (iii) securities issued or issuable in connection with the Bridge Note Offering; or (iv) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of disinterested directors of the Company. Due to the anti-dilution protection in the warrants they have been classified as liabilities.

In connection with the Bridge Note Offering, the Company engaged a placement agent to act as the Company’s exclusive agent for the offering. In exchange for the placement agent acting as the exclusive agent for the Bridge Note Offering, the Company agreed to pay to the placement agent a cash placement fee equal to 10% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the Bridge Notes. As additional compensation, the Company issued to the placement agent or its designees, for nominal consideration, common stock purchase warrants equal to 10% of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Bridge Notes at an exercise price equal to $0.80 per share. The placement agent’s warrants provide the holder thereof with immediate cashless exercise rights and “weighted average” price protection right consistent with the terms of the investor warrants and are exercisable for three years.

The Company received net proceeds of approximately $1,117,825 after payment of an aggregate of $127,500 of commissions and expense allowance to the placement agent, and approximately $29,675 of other offering and related costs in connection with the private placement.

On November 14, 2012, we entered into and consummated a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors (the “November 2012 Offering”) for the private sale of units at $50,050 per Unit, each Unit consisting of (i) 71,500 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share and (ii) warrants to purchase 35,750 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $0.80 per share. Accordingly, for each $0.70 invested, investors received one share of Common Stock and one-half of a Warrant. On December 28, 2012, we completed the November 2012 Offering, selling a total of 145.6 Units and receiving aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $7,287,000. We issued an aggregate of 10,410,285 shares of Common Stock and Warrants to purchase 5,205,143 shares of Common Stock to the investors pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.

The Warrants are exercisable at any time within three years from November 14, 2012, at an exercise price of $0.80 per share with cashless exercise in the event a registration statement covering the resale of the shares underlying the Warrants is not in effect within the time period set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Warrants also provide for weighted average anti-dilution protection in the event that any shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible into Common Stock, are issued at less than the exercise price of the Warrants during any period in which such Warrants are outstanding, subject to certain exceptions as set forth in the Warrants.

If during a period of twelve months from the completion of the November 2012 Offering, we issue additional shares of Common Stock or other equity or equity-linked securities (the “Additional Shares”) at a purchase, exercise or conversion price less than $0.70 (subject to certain exceptions and such price is subject to adjustment for splits, recapitalizations, reorganizations), then the Company shall issue additional shares of Common Stock to the investors so that the effective purchase price per share paid for the Common Stock included in the Units shall be the same per share purchase, exercise or conversion price of the Additional Shares.

We engaged a registered broker dealer to serve as placement agent and the placement agent received (a) selling commissions aggregating 10% of the gross proceeds of the November 2012 Offering, (b) a non-accountable expense allowance of 1% of the gross proceeds of the November 2012 Offering to defray offering expenses, (c) five-year warrants to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock as is equal to 10% of the shares of Common Stock (i) included as part of the Units sold in the November 2012 Offering at an exercise price equal to $0.70 per share, and (ii) issuable upon exercise of the Warrants sold in the November 2012 Offering at an exercise price equal to $0.80 per share, and (d) 100,000 restricted shares of Common Stock.

The sale of the November 2012 Offering Units triggered the automatic conversion of the Bridge Notes, which converted into an aggregate of 2,190,140 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,095,070 shares of Common Stock, exercisable at $0.80 per share. The warrants are exercisable for period of three years and contain the same terms as the Warrants defined above. The terms of the securities contained in the Units also triggered a weighted average ratchet anti-dilution adjustment on the warrants issued with the Bridge Notes and placement agent warrants issued in connection thereto. As such, the Company issued warrants to purchase an additional 1,137,735 shares of Common Stock to the former Bridge Note holders (the “September 2012 Investor Warrants”) and warrants to purchase 227,546 shares of Common Stock to the Placement Agent (the “September 2012 Placement Agent Warrants”). These warrants issued to the former Bridge Note holders and placement agent are exercisable at $0.77 per share through September 2015 and contain weighted average anti-dilution adjustment provisions.

The sale of the Units also triggered purchase price protection provisions (the “2011 SPA Purchase Price Protection”) provided under the terms of the 2011 Unit Offering and warrants issued in connection with the 2011 Unit Offering were subject to full ratchet anti-dilution protection adjustment. As a result of the securities issued in the November 2012 Offering, the 2011 Unit Offering purchasers and warrant holders received an additional aggregate of 5,735,176 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase an additional 15,079,421 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $0.595 per share, including 46,082 additional shares and 91,040 additional warrants to Steve Rogai, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

Effective on the Initial Closing Date, Kevin Harrington, the Company’s Chairman, and Steve Rogai, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, each executed a lock up agreement which provides that, subject to limited exceptions for Mr. Rogai, the officer shall not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of their shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company for a period ending on such date that the November 2012 Offering subscribers have the ability to sell or transfer the Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144 or through an effective registration statement. Following this initial lock-up period, Kevin Harrington has agreed to an additional 12-month leak-out period for his shares, during which he may not sell more than $25,000 worth of shares of Common Stock per month for an aggregate $300,000.

The Company received net proceeds of approximately $6,402,000 after payment of commissions and expense allowance to the Placement Agent and other offering and related costs in connection with the November 2012 Offering.

Note 9.

Warrant Liabilities


Warrants issued in connection with several private placements contain provisions that protect holders from a decline in the issue price of its common stock (or “down-round” provisions) or that contain net settlement provisions. The Company accounts for these warrants as liabilities instead of equity. Down-round provisions reduce the exercise or conversion price of a warrant or convertible instrument if a company either issues equity shares for a price that is lower than the exercise or conversion price of those instruments or issues new warrants or convertible instruments that have a lower exercise or conversion price. Net settlement provisions allow the holder of the warrant to surrender shares underlying the warrant equal to the exercise price as payment of its exercise price, instead of physically exercising the warrant by paying cash. The Company evaluates whether warrants to acquire its common stock contain provisions that protect holders from declines in the stock price or otherwise could result in modification of the exercise price and/or shares to be issued under the respective warrant agreements based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option.

The Company recognizes these warrants as liabilities at their fair value and remeasures them at fair value on each reporting date. On June 22, 2011, the warrant holders converted their warrants on a cashless basis into 331,303 common shares at an agreed upon stock price of $0.82 per share. As a result of the warrant conversion we re-measured the fair value of these warrants as of June 22, 2011, and recorded other income associated with the re-measurement of $523,553.

The Company recognized an initial warrant liability for the warrants issued in connection with our $1,800,000 12% convertible debenture of $1,556,289 which was recorded as a debt discount. The initial warrant liability recognized on the related placement agent warrants totaled $1,522,784, which was recorded as debt issuance costs. Due to the expiration of the repricing “down round” provision of this series of warrants on August 29, 2012, the Company reclassified $6,386,307, which represents the fair value of these warrants on August 29, 2012, from warrant liability to equity. Due to the fluctuation in the market value of our common stock from March 31, 2012 through August 29, 2012, we recognized $1,094,518 in warrant revaluation income.

We recognized an initial warrant liability valuation on the series of warrants issued in connection with our $12,500,000 2011 Unit Offering of $27,647,424. On October 28, 2011, at the initial closing of $12,155,000 of the 2011 Unit Offering, the closing price of our common stock as reported on OTC Markets was $1.25. On November 17, 2011, at the final closing of $345,000 of the 2011 Unit Offering, the closing price of our common stock as reported on OTC Markets was $0.90. On March 31, 2013, the closing price of our common stock as reported on OTC Markets was $0.35. Due to the fluctuations in the market value of our common stock from March 31, 2012 through March 31, 2013, we recognized $8,711,200 in warrant revaluation income.

In connection with our Bridge Notes issued in September 2012, we recognized an initial liability valuation on a series of warrants issued of $860,112. On both the September 7, 2012, initial closing of $1,000,000 and September 20, 2012, closing of $275,000, the closing price of our common stock as report on OTC Markets was $0.75. On March 31, 2013, the closing price of our common stock reported in OTC Markets was $0.35. Due to the fluctuations in the market value of our common stock from the warrants initial valuation dates through March 31, 2013, we recognized $582,083 in warrant revaluation income.

We recognized an initial warrant liability valuation in the series of warrants issued in connection with our $7,287,200 November 2012 Offering of $5,170,770. The closing prices reported on the OTC Markets were $0.77 on November 14, 2012 ($3,053,085); $0.72 on December 14, 2012 ($3,268,325); and $0.68 on December 28, 2012 ($965,790). On March 31, 2013, the closing price of our common stock reported on OTC Markets was $0.35. As a result of the fluctuations in the market value of our common stock from the warrants initial valuation dates through March 31, 2013, we recognized $3,469,349 in warrant valuation income.

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of eDiets, completed February 28, 2013, the Company issued 988,654 shares of common stock and 494,328 warrants with terms identical to warrants issued in our November 2012 Offering. The common shares and warrants were issued in payment of $600,000 in notes payable by eDiets with related accrued interest of $92,057. The notes were payable to a former director of eDiets and to another former director of eDiets who is now a director of the Company. We recognized an initial warrant liability valuation of $197,855. The closing price of our common stock on February 28, 2013, as reported by the OTC Markets was $0.58. Due to the fluctuations in the market value of our common stock from the warrants initial valuation date through March 31, 3013, we recognized $93,589 in warrant valuation income.

Accordingly, warrant revaluation income for the year ending March 31, 2013, related to our Bridge Debentures ($1,800,000 12% convertible debenture), 2011 Unit Offering and Bridge Notes ($1,250,000 12% senior secured convertible note), November 2012 Offering and eDiets.com acquisition transaction totaled $13,950,739.

Note 10.

Income Taxes


At March 31, 2013 and 2012, we had gross deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities of $7.60 million and $ 4.25 million, respectively. We determined that it is not “more likely than not” that such assets will be realized, and as such have applied a valuation allowance of $7.60 million and $4.25 million as of March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We evaluate our ability to realize our deferred tax assets each period and adjust the amount of our valuation allowance, if necessary. We operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to audit in those jurisdictions. Because of the complex issues involved, any claims can require an extended period to resolve.

FASB ASC 740 – Income Taxes requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. A review of all available positive and negative evidence needs to be considered, including our current and past performance, the market environment in which we operate, the utilization of past tax credits and length of carry-back and carry-forward periods. Forming a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed is difficult when there is negative objective evidence such as cumulative losses in recent years. Cumulative losses weigh heavily in the overall assessment. We have applied a 100% valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2013 and 2012.

A reconciliation between the amount of income tax benefit determined by applying the applicable US statutory income tax rate to pre-tax loss is as follows:

If there is an ownership change, as defined under Internal Revenue Code section 382, the use of net operating loss and credit carry-forwards may be subject to limitation on use. On October 28, 2011, the Company underwent an ownership change, as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 382, which, in general, limits the use of prior year net operating tax losses in future years to approximately $1.5 million per year.

On February 28, 2013, eDiets was acquired with its approximately $61.2 million in net operating loss carry forwards. These net operating loss carry forwards will be subject to the Internal Revenue Code 382 ownership change rules which will limit future use by eDiets, as a subsidiary of the Company, to approximately $0.5 million per year.

If additional ownership changes, as defined under Internal Revenue Code Section 382, occur in the future, the use of the net operating losses listed above could be subject to further limitations.

Uncertain Tax Positions

We have no unrecognized income tax benefits as of March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012. There have been no material changes in unrecognized tax benefits through March 31, 2013. The fiscal years March 31, 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010 are considered open tax years in U.S. federal and state tax jurisdictions. We currently do not have any audit investigations in any jurisdiction.

Related Party Transactions


Our former Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Rogai, had loaned $107,000 to the Company in the past to meet short-term working capital needs. The loan was unsecured and carried an interest rate of 12% per annum. In May 2010, this obligation was formalized through the issuance of a 12% Convertible Promissory Note payable in the principal amount of $107,000, due May 25, 2011. The 12% Convertible Promissory Note was convertible into common shares of the Company at $1.50 per share and carried an interest rate of 12% per annum. The conversion feature of the Promissory Note proved beneficial under the guidance of ASC 470--Debt. Accordingly, a beneficial conversion feature of $107,000 was recognized and was accreted to interest expense over the initial one year term of the note. The note payable to officer was fully accreted at March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively. On May 25, 2011, the Promissory Note was amended to extend the maturity one additional year under the same terms.

On August 18, 2011, Mr. Rogai entered into a Subordination Agreement relating to his note. In connection with our Bridge Debenture offering in the amount of $1,800,000, Mr. Rogai agreed to subordinate his position to that of the Bridge Offering investors. On October 28, 2011, the note in the principal amount of $107,000 was converted into Units offered in connection with the Company’s October 28, 2011 financing. As a result, Mr. Rogai received 133,750 common shares and 133,750 warrants exercisable at $1.00 per share. Interest expense recognized under the note totaled $0 and $23,271 for the years ending March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Under the anti-dilution protection provisions of 2011 Unit Offering, Mr. Rogai received an additional 46,082 shares of common stock and 91,040 additional warrants exercisable at $0.595 per common share, upon the November 14, 2012 closing of the Company’s 2012 Unit Offering.

On March 13, 2013, Mr. Rogai and the Company entered into an Agreement and General Release (“Severance Agreement”) terminating his employment as of that date. As part of this agreement and under the provisions of Mr. Rogai’s employment agreement, Mr. Rogai received severance including: (i) twelve (12) months base salary totaling $225,000, payable in four equal quarterly installments; (ii) quarterly payments totaling $14,091 representing reimbursement of one years’ health insurance premiums; (iii) $5,990 in accrued but unused vacation pay; and (iv) $3,000 in transitional auto allowance. The Company has recorded total severance expense of $242,091 related to this agreement during the year ended March 31, 2013, and $179,318 is included in accrued expenses as of March 31, 2013.

In addition, the Severance Agreement further provided for the modification of Mr. Rogai’s outstanding options, providing for vesting in full upon termination and extending their exercise period to the full term of the initial grant. This modification, including accelerated vesting, resulted in a non-cash charge to stock based compensation of approximately $327,000, which was recorded during the year ended March 31, 2013.

Concurrent with the Company’s acquisition of eDiets on February 28, 2013, the Company issued 988,654 shares of common stock and 494,328 common stock purchase warrants in settlement of $600,000 of related eDiets party debt and $92,057 in related interest to an eDiets director and one former director. At March 31, 2013, the Company had outstanding a $100,000 note payable to a director, which bears interest at 5% per annum and is due June 30, 2013. For the period from February 28, 2013 through March 31, 2013, the Company recognized interest expense of $425 related to this note which is accrued at March 31, 2013.

Note 12.

Notes Payable


On September 20, 2012 the Company completed a private placement of securities with 11 accredited investors under a Securities Purchase Agreement dated September 7, 2012 (the “Bridge Note Offering”), raising aggregate gross proceeds of $1,275,000. The Company incurred $127,500 in commission and expense allowance to the Placement Agent and $29,675 of other offering related expenses with this transaction, which resulted in net proceeds of $1,117,825. The private placement was completed on September 20, 2012. Investors purchased from the Company 12% Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “Bridge Notes”), in the aggregate principal amount of $1,275,000. The Bridge Notes carry interest at 12% per annum. Principal and accrued interest on the Bridge Notes automatically converted into equity securities identical to those sold to investors in the November 2012 Offering (Note 8.) at a conversion price equal to 85% of the securities issued under the November 2012 Offering.

The indebtedness evidenced by the Bridge Notes was senior to, and had priority in right of payment over, all indebtedness of Company outstanding and were secured by a first lien and security interest in all of the assets of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, TV Goods, Inc. pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement dated as of September 7, 2012, by the Company in favor of Collateral Agents, LLC as agent of the Investors.

Each Investor also received a warrant (the “2012 Bridge Warrant”) exercisable for a period of three years from the Closing Date to purchase a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing 50% of the principal amount of the Bridge Note held by the holder by the conversion price of the Bridge Note. The initial exercise price of the 2012 Bridge Warrants was $0.80 per share, subject to adjustment. Furthermore, if after the 6 month anniversary of the initial exercise date of each 2012 Bridge Warrant there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for the resale of, the warrant shares by the holder, but excluding a period of any certain allowed delay, the 2012 Bridge Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, on a cashless basis. To date the Company has not filed a registration statement covering the shares issued in this offering, including the common shares underlying the related warrants. Accordingly, these warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis. Following the completion of our certified audit of eDiets for the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company intends to file this registration statement.

The 2012 Bridge Warrant also provides for weighted average ratchet anti-dilution protection in the event that any shares of common stock, or securities convertible into common stock, are issued at less than the exercise price of the warrants, except in connection with the following issuances of the Company's common stock, or securities convertible into common stock: (i) shares issuable under currently outstanding securities, including those authorized under stock plans, (ii) shares of common stock issued pursuant to a stock split or dividend; (iii) securities issued or issuable in connection with the Bridge Note Offering; or (iv) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of disinterested directors of the Company. See Note 9.

In connection with the Bridge Note Offering, the Company engaged a placement agent to act as the Company’s exclusive agent for the offering. In exchange for the placement agent acting as the exclusive agent for the Bridge Note Offering, the Company agreed to pay to the Placement Agent a cash placement fee equal to 10% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of the Bridge Notes. As additional compensation, the Company issued to the placement agent or its designees, for nominal consideration, common stock purchase warrants equal to 10% of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes at an exercise price equal to $0.80 per share. The placement agent’s warrants provide the holder thereof with immediate cashless exercise rights and “weighted average” price protection right consistent with the terms of the investor warrants and are exercisable for three years. See Note 9.

In connection with this transaction, the Company recognized a total debt discount of $1,249,793, comprised of a recognized beneficial conversion feature of $533,032 and the fair value of detachable warrants totaling $716,760 recorded as a warrant liability. Such amounts were determined based on the price per share of the November 2012 Offering. See Note 8. As the notes, including accrued interest of $28,133, automatically converted into the securities issued under the November 2012 Offering, the discount was accreted to interest expense over a two month period.

In addition, in connection with our $1,275,000 funding, we recognized $300,527 in related debt issuance costs. As the Bridge Notes automatically converted into the securities issued under the November 2012 Offering, the cost was accreted to interest expense over a two month period.

In connection with the acquisition of eDiets on February 28, 2013, the Company acquired $200,000 in notes payable, $100,000 due to a director of eDiets and the Company and $100,000 due to a former director of eDiets. Both notes are unsecured, carry an interest rate of 5% per annum and are due June 30, 2013. We also acquired a note payable in the amount of $263,672 due to a prior landlord which carries an interest rate of 5% per annum and is due on October 1, 2015.

At March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had notes payable of $281,805 and $28,737, respectively. At March 31, 2013, notes payable included $102,060 due to a prior landlord, $100,000 due to a prior director of eDiets and $79,745 under insurance related note financings payable under terms of less than one year. The balance on March 31, 2012, represented amounts due under insurance related notes payable. Annual interest rates on these notes range from 5% to 8.4%.

Debt non-current includes $153,107 due to a prior landlord and $40,000 due under our asset purchase agreement with Seen On TV. (Note 5).

written notice. In consideration of providing the services, Stratcon shall receive $12,500 per month. In addition, the Company has agreed to issue Stratcon an aggregate of 500,000 shares of restricted common stock, such shares vesting over a period of two years in four equal tranches. The closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the OTC Markets on the Effective Date was $1.00. The Company has agreed to provide Stratcon rent reimbursement up to $2,500 per month for the New York office. During June 2012 the first tranche of 125,000 shares of restricted common stock vested and the $142,000 was reclassified from accrued expense to equity. The second and final tranche of 125,000 shares was issued in our fourth fiscal quarter with an additional $76,746 charged to consulting expense. Effective December 12, 2012, the Company terminated the agreement.

Effective December 6, 2011, the Company agreed to issue 25,000 shares of common stock to Mediterranean Securities Group, LLC in consideration of consulting services. As the agreement did not contain any vesting or forfeiture provisions, the entire fair value of $25,000, based on our stock price on the commitment date, was charged to consulting expenses and included in accrued expenses at March 31, 2012. During June 2012 these 25,000 shares were issued to Mediterranean Securities Group, LLC and $25,000 was reclassified from accrued expenses to equity.

On November 19, 2012, the Company entered into a licensing and endorsement agreement with Eight Entertainment, LLC furnishing the services of Mr. CeeLo Green.

The actual number of warrants to be granted under the agreement was subject to adjustment downward up to 50%, based upon certain performance goals being achieved relating to weight-loss. These provisions constitute a performance commitment within the meaning of ASC 505 — Equity. In accordance with ASC 505 — Equity, when equity instruments are issued to non-employees in exchange for the receipt of goods or services the equity instruments are measured at fair value at the earlier of the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete. The agreement with Mr. CeeLo Green does not contain a sufficiently large disincentive for nonperformance as forfeiture of the equity instrument is the sole remedy in the event of nonperformance. Therefore, a final measurement date will not be established until performance is complete and ASC 505 — Equity requires the recognition of expense from the transaction be measured at the then-current lowest aggregate fair value at each reporting period with changes in those lowest aggregate fair values between the reporting periods recognized in earnings. Mr. Green met the first of two performance goals during March 2013 reducing the potential adjustment downward to 25%. On May 15, 2013, Mr. Green failed to achieve the second performance goal and warrants to purchase 1,625,000 shares of common stock exercisable at prices from $0.01 to $2.00 per share were forfeited.

Equity Compensation Plans

In May 2010, the Company adopted its 2010 Executive Equity Incentive Plan and 2010 Non Executive Equity Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Plans”) and granted 600,000 options and 450,000 options, respectively, under TV Goods stock option plans.

During September 2011, October 2011, December 2011 and March 2012, our Board of Directors granted an additional 200,000 options to an officer and two directors under the Executive Equity Incentive Plan. The options vest over eighteen months (150,000 options) and two years (50,000 options) and are exercisable for five years from date of grant.

On September 26, 2011 and March 31, 2012, our Board granted an additional 300,000 and 75,000 options, respectively, under the Non Executive Plan to nine employees and one consultant. The options vested over eighteen months and are exercisable for five years from date of grant.

The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes options pricing model using the assumptions established at that time.

On June 4, 2012, the Company issued 30,000 options to a direct response consultant. The fair value of the options granted was estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes options pricing model using the assumptions established at that time. The following table includes the assumptions used in making this grant:

As the options vested upon grant, the entire fair value of $25,100 was charged to stock-based compensation immediately and is included in general and administrative expenses.

On September 24, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2013 Equity Compensation Plan with terms similar to the previously adopted 2010 Plans. The 2013 Equity Compensation Plan authorized the issuance of up to 3,000,000 options to purchase common stock. The 2013 Equity Compensation Plan was modified in March 2013 authorizing the issuance of up to 6,000,000 options.

On December 15, 2012, the Compensation Committee granted 2,075,000 options under the remaining available options under the 2010 Executive Equity Incentive Plan, 2010 Non Executive Equity Incentive Plan and 2013 Equity Compensation Plan. The options were granted to 17 employees and directors of the Company. The options granted vest at 20% per year over a five-year period and expire ten years from grant date. The fair value of the options granted was estimated on the grant date using the Black Scholes options pricing model using the assumptions established at that time. The following table includes the assumptions used in making this grant:

(A) Includes 2,913,807 eDiets acquisition adjusted replacement options.

(B) Includes 97,599 eDiets acquisition adjustment replacement options.

The weighted average grant date fair value of unvested options at March 31, 2013, was approximately $1,599,000 and will be expensed over a weighted average period of 4.67 years.

As of March 31, 2013, there were 4,582,500 options available for further issuance under the 2013 Equity Compensation Plan.

In addition, under the provisions of ASC 805—Business Combinations, the Company recognized as stock-based compensation the difference in fair value between the eDiets options outstanding at the acquisition date and the replacement ASTV options granted. The fair value of the eDiets’ options replaced of $604,218 was recorded as consideration transfered in the acquisition. The excess fair value of the ASTV replacement options over the fair value of the eDiets options was recognized as compensation cost in the year ended March 31, 2013 since substantially all of the options were fully vested. Accordingly, the Company recorded $694,000 in stock-based compensation in March 2013.

No tax benefits are attributable to our share based compensation expense recorded in the accompanying financial statements because we are in a net operating loss position and a full valuation allowance is maintained for all net deferred tax assets. For stock options, the amount of the tax deductions is generally the excess of the fair market value of our shares of common stock over the exercise price of the stock options at the date of exercise.

In the event of any stock split of our outstanding common stock, the Board of Directors in its discretion may elect to maintain the stated amount of shares reserved under the Plans without giving effect to such stock split. Subject to the limitation on the aggregate number of shares issuable under the Plans, there is no maximum or minimum number of shares as to which a stock grant or plan option may be granted to any person. Plan options may either be (i) ISOs, (ii) NSOs (iii) awards of our common stock or (iv) rights to make direct purchases of our common stock which may be subject to certain

restrictions. Any option granted under the Plans must provide for an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant, but the exercise price of any ISO granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of our outstanding common stock must not be less than 110% of fair market value on the date of the grant. The Plans further provide that with respect to ISOs the aggregate fair market value of the common stock underlying the options which are exercisable by any option holder during any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. The term of each plan option and the manner in which it may be exercised is determined by the Board of Directors or the compensation committee, provided that no option may be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of its grant and, in the case of an incentive option granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of the common stock, no more than five years after the date of the grant.

At the effective time of the merger with eDiets, each eDiets option that remained outstanding and unexercised following the effective time was deemed amended and is now exercisable for shares of our common stock. The terms and conditions of the options remained the same, except that the number of shares covered by the option, and the exercise price was adjusted to reflect the exchange ratio of 1.2667. The exercise price per share is now equal to the exercise price prior to the effective time, divided by the exchange ratio. The following discussion reflects options and shares adjusted for the exchange ratio.

Litigation


In February 2012, SCI Direct, LLC (“SCI”), filed suit against TV Goods, Inc. in the United States District Court, Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division. The complaint alleges trademark infringement by TV Goods arising from our Living Pure™ space heater as it relates to SCI’s EDENPURE™ space heater. The plaintiff was seeking monetary and injunctive relief claiming TV Goods committed trademark infringement, unfair competition and violation of the Ohio Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The amount of damages the plaintiff was seeking was unspecified. We believed that the legal basis of the allegations was completely without merit. The potential monetary relief, if any, was not probable and could not be estimated at that time. On June 21, 2012, TV Goods, Inc. executed a settlement agreement with SCI Direct, LLC. Under the terms of the agreement, SCI agreed to dismiss the complaint and TV Goods, Inc. agreed to cease marketing any products under the Living Pure Trademark. The settlement agreement was contingent upon SCI’s review of TV Goods, Inc. financial statements relating to Living Pure sales, which was completed with the dismissal of the complaint on July 5, 2012.

On August 9, 2012 the Company entered into a letter of intent with eDiets for the acquisition of that company in a stock for stock transaction. On October 31, 2012, we entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger with eDiets and the acquisition closed on February 28, 2013. In connection with the transaction, on September 10, 2012, the Company received notice of a complaint filed by a shareholder of eDiets in Broward County, Florida against eDiets, members of the board of directors of eDiets and the Company, alleging that eDiets breached its fiduciary duty to its shareholders by entering into the merger agreement for inadequate consideration. Prior to the deadline for the defendants to answer the complaint, the plaintiff and the defendants in the case filed a stipulation with the court allowing the plaintiff to file an amended complaint. To date, the plaintiff has taken no further action in the case. The merger of eDiets with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company was consummated on February 28, 2013. The Company and the other defendants deny the allegations and intend to vigorously defend the action should the plaintiff take any further steps to prosecute the lawsuit and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Subsequent Events


On May 6, 2013 the 2013 Equity Compensation Plan was modified, increasing the shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the plan to 9,000,000 shares.

On May 2, 2013, effective May 1, 2013, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Ronald C. Pruett Jr. to serve as our chief executive officer. The term of the agreement is for one year and will be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods unless a notice of non-renewal is given by either party or the agreement is otherwise terminated sooner in accordance with its provisions. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Pruett will receive an annual base salary of $275,000, together with an additional salary of $275,000 during the first year of his employment with us. Mr. Pruett’s base salary may be increased from time to time as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board. In addition to his base salary, Mr. Pruett will be entitled to receive an annual cash bonus calculated by reference to our actual performance during the immediately preceding fiscal year measured against a revenue and adjusted EBITDA (earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization) target to be established by Mr. Pruett and the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board. Mr. Pruett will also be entitled to receive options to purchase 425,000 shares (the “First Option Grant”) of our common stock and a second option grant to purchase 2,625,000 shares (the “Second Option Grant”) of our common stock. The First Option Grant will vest on the grant date and have an exercise price equal to the average of the high bid and low asked prices of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on the trading day immediately preceding the grant date. The Second Option Grant will have a per share exercise price equal to the higher of (i) $0.70 and (ii) the average of the high bid and low asked prices of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on the trading day immediately preceding the grant date. The Second Option Grant will vest in four equal tranches on May 1, 2013, May 1, 2014, November 1, 2014 and May 1, 2015. Provided that the agreement has not been terminated, on December 31, 2013 Mr. Pruett will become entitled to receive subsequent grants of stock and options, at the Compensation Committee’s option, with an aggregate value of at least $918,750, vesting in four equal tranches on the grant date, May 1, 2014, November 1, 2014 and May 1, 2015. If Mr. Pruett’s employment is terminated for any reason, other than by the Company for cause or by Mr. Pruett in the absence of good reason, he shall be entitled to certain compensation and benefits as provided under the agreement.

On June 13, 2013, TV Goods, Inc., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a termination agreement with Presser Direct, LLC under which it terminated a Purchasing and Marketing Agreement (the “P & M Agreement”) between TV Goods and Presser Direct dated March 7, 2012 relating to the manufacture, marketing, sale and distribution of the SeasonAire heater and related product lines. Under the Termination Agreement, TV Goods agreed to pay approximately $309,000 in respect of previously purchased inventory and approximately $146,000 attributable to royalty payments under the P & M Agreement, of which $65,000 was to be held in escrow pending delivery of replacements for damaged or defective SeasonAire heaters and related products previously sold by TV Goods. TV Goods also agreed to transfer title to certain assets relating to the products, including infomercials and intellectual property, to Presser Direct. Presser Direct agreed to pay TV Goods $50,000 for existing SeasonAire inventory, to assume obligations to make all royalty payments relating to SeasonAire sales after July 31, 2013 and to assume all liabilities relating to the SeasonAire products after June 13, 2013, except for certain warranty obligations relating to SeasonAire products sold prior to that date. TV Goods and Presser Direct released each other from all obligations under the P & M Agreement, so that the only surviving obligations were those arising under the termination agreement.
