Note 1 Nature of Business

 

Nature of Business

 

Twinlab Consolidated Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”, “Twinlab,” “we,” “our” and “us”) was incorporated on October 24, 2013 under the laws of the State of Nevada as Mirror Me, Inc. On August 7, 2014, we amended our articles of incorporation and changed our name to Twinlab Consolidated Holdings, Inc.

 

We are an integrated marketer, distributor and retailer of branded nutritional supplements and other natural products sold to and through domestic health and natural food stores, mass market retailers, specialty stores retailers, on-line retailers and websites. Internationally, we market and distribute branded nutritional supplements and other natural products to and through health and natural product distributors and retailers.

 

Our products include vitamins, minerals, specialty supplements and sports nutrition products sold under the Twinlab brand name, a market leader in the healthy aging and beauty from within categories sold under the Reserveage Nutrition and ResVitale® brand names; diet and energy products sold under the Metabolife brand name; the Re-Body brand name; and a full line of herbal teas sold under the Alvita brand name. To accommodate consumer preferences, our products come in various formulations and delivery forms, including capsules, tablets, softgels, chewables, liquids, sprays and powders. These products are sold primarily through health and natural food stores and on-line retailers, supermarkets, and mass-market retailers. 

 

We also perform services between private label distributors and contract manufacturers under the NutraScience Labs (“NSL”) brand name. NSL facilitates the production of new supplements to market and reformulate existing products to include scientifically backed ingredients. We provide our customers with numerous production services, including manufacturing, testing, label and packaging design, order fulfillment, and regulatory compliance.

 

NSL facilitates the contract manufacture of a variety of high-quality vitamin and supplement products, including but not limited to, immune support supplements, cognitive support products, prebiotics and probiotics, supplements for weight management, and sports nutrition supplements. Our role in the production of these products is to help our customers manufacture or reformulate dietary supplements for sale and distribution. We do this by working with contract manufacturers to build scientifically backed formulas for resale to our end customers. We also simplify the production process by providing quality control checks, storing inventory on site, labeling and designing finished products, and drop shipping finished products ready for sale to our end customers. We do not market these private label products, but rather sell the products to the customer, who is then responsible for the marketing, distribution, and sale to retailers or to their end customers.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of operations and realization of assets and liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As of June 30, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $331,797. Historical losses are primarily attributable to lower than planned sales resulting from low fill rates on demand due to limitations of our working capital, delayed product introductions and postponed marketing activities, merger-related and other restructuring costs, and interest and refinancing charges associated with our debt refinancing. Losses have been funded primarily through debt.

 

Because of our history of operating losses and significant interest expense on our debt we have a working capital deficiency of $114,172 as of June 30, 2021. We also have $100,820 of debt, net of discount, presented in current liabilities. These continuing conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management has addressed operating issues through the following actions: focusing on growing the core business and brands; continuing emphasis on major customers and key products; reducing operating costs that include significant workforce and salary expense reduction and continuing to negotiate lower prices from major suppliers.  We believe that we may need additional capital to execute our business plan. If additional funding is required, there can be no assurance that sources of funding will be available when needed on acceptable terms or at all. To meet capital requirements, the Company may consider selling certain assets or seeking financing through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing agreements.
