periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 and the cash flows for the nine month periods ended March 31,
2008 and 2007. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or for
any future period.
The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included herein are presented as
required by Form 10-QSB, and do not contain certain information included in the Companys audited
financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the SEC. For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes
thereto as of and for the year ended June 30, 2007, and included in the Annual Report on Form
10-KSB on file with the SEC.
On September 26, and October 31, 2007 the Company issued debentures convertible into the
Companys common stock in a private placement offering. The net proceeds received by the Company
from the offering of $1,327,920 will be used to expand marketing efforts, scientific studies and
intellectual property protection, as well as to provide the Company with additional working
capital. The funding significantly improves the Companys liquidity position from June 30, 2007
levels and allows the Company to pursue plans for generating additional revenue while containing
cash outflow. However, there can be no assurance that revenue generation and cost containment
measures will result in positive cash flow.
Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Lifeline Nutraceuticals Corporation (LNC). All inter-company accounts and
transactions between the entities have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the
reporting of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company ships the majority of its product directly to the consumer via United Parcel
Service (UPS) and receives substantially all payment for these sales in the form of credit card
charges. Revenue from direct product sales to customers is recognized upon passage of title and
risk of loss to customers when product is shipped from the fulfillment facility. Sales revenue and
estimated returns are recorded when product is shipped. The Companys direct customer return
policy is to provide a 30-day money back guarantee on orders placed by customers. After 30 days,
the Company does not issue refunds to direct sales customers for returned product. To date, the Company has experienced monthly returns of approximately 2
percent of sales. As of March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2007, the Companys reserve balance for
returns and allowances was approximately $156,000 and $113,000, respectively.
7
For retail customers, the Company analyzes its contracts to determine the appropriate
accounting treatment for its recognition of revenue on a customer by customer basis.
In July 2005, LifeVantage entered into an agreement with General Nutrition Distribution, LP
(GNC) for the sale of Protandim® pursuant to which GNC has the right to return any and
all product shipped to GNC, at any time, for any reason. In July 2006, the Company began the
recognition of revenue under the agreement with GNC due to the accumulation of historical
sell-through and return data. The Company recognizes revenue and its related costs when it obtains
sufficient information to reasonably estimate the amount of future returns. Accordingly, beginning
July 1, 2006, the Company recognizes revenue associated with sales to GNC when the product is sold
by GNC with an allowance for future returns based on historical product return information. Prior
to July 2006, all revenue and related costs from GNC were deferred.
In July 2006, LifeVantage entered into an agreement with CVS/pharmacy (CVS) for the sale of
Protandim® throughout the CVS store network. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the
Company agreed to accept, pursuant to a return authorization, a portion of the product from CVS
stores that had not been sold through this retail channel. As of March 31, 2008, sufficient
bottles were received from CVS to offset the receivable from CVS and both parties agreed to waive
any further obligations from the other party and the supply arrangement was terminated.
The table below shows the effect of the change in the Companys deferred revenue and expense
for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, including the impact of the reversal of the CVS deferred
revenue and receivable:

Accounts Receivable
The Companys accounts receivable primarily consist of receivables from retail distributors.
Management reviews accounts receivable on a regular basis to determine if any receivables will
potentially be uncollectible. The Company had one national retail distributor, GNC, and several
regional natural products distributors as of March 31, 2008. Based on the current aging of its
accounts receivable, the Company believes that it is not necessary to maintain an allowance for
doubtful accounts.
For credit card sales to direct sales customers, the Company verifies the customers credit
card prior to shipment of product. Payment not yet received from credit card sales is treated as a
deposit in transit and is not reflected as a receivable on the accompanying balance sheet. Based
on the Companys verification process and historical information available, management does not
believe that there is justification for an allowance for doubtful accounts on credit card sales
related to its direct sales as of March 31, 2008. For direct sales, there is no bad debt expense
for the three or nine month periods ended March 31, 2008.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the
first-in, first-out method. The Company has capitalized payments to its contract product
manufacturer for the acquisition of raw materials and commencement of the manufacturing, bottling
and labeling of the Companys product. The Companys contract with the product manufacturer can be
terminated by either party with 90 days prior written notice. As of March 31, 2008 and June 30,
2007, inventory consisted of:

Earnings per share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net income or loss by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share are
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares and potentially dilutive
common share equivalents. The effects of approximately 30.7 million common shares issuable
pursuant to the convertible debentures and warrants issued in the Companys private placement
offerings, compensation based warrants issued by the Company and the Companys 2007 Long-Term
Incentive Plan are not included in computations when their effect is antidilutive. Because of the
net loss for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the basic and diluted
average outstanding shares are the same, since including the additional potential common share
equivalents would have an antidilutive effect on the loss per share calculation.
9
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). SFAS 142 establishes standards for
accounting for goodwill and other intangibles acquired in business combinations. Goodwill and
other intangibles with indefinite lives are not amortized.
When the Company purchased the remaining interest in the Companys subsidiary, LNC, on March
10, 2005, the primary purpose was to secure the Companys intellectual property, i.e. patents,
patent applications and know how. As a result, the $2,000,000 purchase price was allocated to
patent costs.
In addition to the $2,000,000 cost of acquiring the remaining interest in LNC, the subsequent
costs of applying for patents are also capitalized and, once the patent is granted, the costs are
amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the patents economic or legal life.
Capitalized costs will be expensed if patents are not granted. The Company reviews the carrying
value of its patent costs periodically to determine whether the patents have continuing value and
such reviews could result in the conclusion that the recorded amounts have been impaired. One of
the Companys three U.S. Patent applications was granted on July 10, 2007 and the remaining patent
applications are pending. The Company began amortization of the granted patent during the three
months ended September 30, 2007.
As of March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2007, intangible assets consisted of:

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company adopted the modified prospective application of SFAS 123(R), Share-Based Payment
(SFAS 123(R)), for all options and warrants issued to employees and directors during the first
quarter ended September 30, 2006.
In an effort to advance the interests of the Company and its shareholders, the Company adopted
and the shareholders approved the Companys 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the Plan), effective
November 21, 2006, to provide incentives to certain eligible employees who contribute significantly
to the strategic and long-term performance objectives and growth of the Company. A maximum of
6,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock can be issued under the Plan in connection with the
grant of awards. Awards to purchase common stock have been granted pursuant to the Plan and are
outstanding to various employees, officers, directors and Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) members
at prices between $0.19 and $3.47 per share, vesting over one- to three-year periods. Awards
expire in accordance with the terms of each award and the shares subject to the award are added
back to the Plan upon expiration of the award. Awards outstanding as of March 31, 2008, net of
awards expired, is for the purchase of 3,344,365 shares of the Companys common stock.
Options granted prior to November 21, 2006, the effective date of the Plan, were terminated
and new options on substantially identical terms and provisions (i.e., identical number of
underlying shares, exercise price, vesting schedule, and expiration date as the original options)
were granted under the Plan. As no
modifications to the terms and provisions of the previously granted options occurred, the
Company accounted for the related compensation expense under SFAS 123(R) as it did prior to the
effective date of the Plan.
10
In certain circumstances, the Company issued common stock for invoiced services, to pay
creditors and in other similar situations. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF)
Issue No. 96-18, payments in equity instruments to non-employees for goods or services are
accounted for by the fair value method, which relies on the valuation of the service at the date of
the transaction, or public stock sales price, whichever is more reliable as a measurement.
Compensation expense was calculated using the fair value method during the three and nine
month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The
following assumptions were used for options and warrants granted during the three and nine month
periods ended March 31, 2008:
|
1. |
|
risk-free interest rate of between 2.80 and 3.91 percent in the three
month period ended March 31, 2008 and between 2.80 and 4.26 percent in the nine
month period ended March 31, 2008; |
|
|
2. |
|
dividend yield of -0- percent; |
|
|
3. |
|
expected life of 5 6 years in fiscal 2008; and |
|
|
4. |
|
a volatility factor of the expected market price of the Companys common stock
of 74 percent for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2008. |
Because of the limited historical trading period of our common stock, the expected volatility
of our common stock was estimated at 74 percent, based on a review of the volatility of entities
considered by management as most comparable to our business.
Derivative financial instruments
We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign
currency risks.
We analyze convertible debentures under the guidance provided by EITF Issues 00-19 and 05-02
and review the appropriate classification under the provisions of SFAS 133 and EITF Issue 00-19.
We review the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments we issue to determine whether
there are embedded derivative instruments, including the embedded conversion option, that are
required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative instrument liabilities. Also,
in connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, we may issue freestanding
options or warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument
liabilities, rather than as equity. For option-based derivative financial instruments, we use the
Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the derivative instruments.
Certain instruments, including convertible debt and equity instruments and the freestanding
warrants issued in connection with those convertible instruments, may be subject to registration
rights agreements, which impose penalties for failure to register the underlying common stock by a
defined date. These potential penalties are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 5,
Accounting for Contingencies".
When the embedded conversion option in a convertible debt instrument is not required to be
bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument, we review the terms of the
instrument to determine whether it is necessary to record a beneficial conversion feature, in
accordance with EITF Issues 98-05 and 00-27. When the effective conversion rate of the instrument
at the time it is issued is less than the fair value of
the common stock into which it is convertible, we recognize a beneficial conversion feature, which
is credited to equity and reduces the initial carrying value of the instrument.
11
When convertible debt is initially recorded at less than its face value as a result of
allocating some or all of the proceeds received in accordance with Accounting Principles Board
(APB) Opinion No. 14, to derivative instrument liabilities, to a beneficial conversion feature or
to other instruments, the discount from the face amount, together with the stated interest on the
convertible debt, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income,
using the effective interest method.
Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to comply with current period
presentation.
Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards Number 161 (SFAS 161), Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activitiesan amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.
SFAS 161 was issued to address concern that the existing disclosure requirements in FASB
Statement Number 133 (SFAS 133), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,
do not provide adequate information about how derivative and hedging activities affect an entitys
financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Accordingly, SFAS 161 requires enhanced
disclosures about an entitys derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the
transparency of financial reporting. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application
encouraged. SFAS 161 encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods
at initial adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the
adoption of SFAS 161 on the Companys financial statements.
Note 3 -Accounting for Intellectual Property
Long-lived assets of the Company are reviewed at least annually as to whether their carrying
value has become impaired, pursuant to guidance established in SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The Company assesses impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be
recoverable. When an assessment for impairment of long-lived assets, long-lived assets to be
disposed of, and certain identifiable intangibles related to those assets is performed, the Company
is required to compare the net carrying value of long-lived assets on the lowest level at which
cash flows can be determined on a consistent basis to the related estimates of future undiscounted
net cash flows for such properties. If the net carrying value exceeds the net cash flows, then
impairment is recognized to reduce the carrying value to the estimated fair value, generally equal
to the future discounted net cash flow.
The recurring losses experienced by the Company have resulted in managements assessment of
impairment with respect to the capitalized patent costs. Analysis generated for this assessment
concluded that sales volumes, less the cost of manufacturing the product sold and less the
marketing and sales cost of generating the revenues, support managements conclusion that no
impairment to the capitalized patent costs has occurred.
12
Note 4 Convertible Debentures
On September 26, and October 31, 2007, the Company issued convertible debentures in a private
placement offering that bear interest at 8 percent per annum and have a term of three years. The
convertible debentures are convertible into the Companys common stock at $0.20 per share during
their term and at maturity, at the Companys option, may be repaid in full or converted into common
stock at the lower $0.20 per share or the average trading price for the 10 days immediately prior
to the maturity date.
Gross proceeds of $1,490,000 were distributed to the Company pursuant to the issuance of
convertible debentures in the private placement offering. The Company also issued warrants to
purchase shares of the Companys common stock at $0.30 per share in the private placement offering.
Prior to conversion or repayment of the convertible debentures, if (i) the Company fails to
remain subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act for a period of at least 45
consecutive days, (ii) the Company fails to materially comply with the reporting requirements under
the Exchange Act for a period of 45 consecutive days, (iii) the Companys common stock is no longer
quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board or listed or quoted on a securities exchange, or (iv)
a Change of Control (as defined in the convertible debentures) is consummated, the Company will be
required upon the election of the holder to redeem the convertible debentures in an amount equal to
150 percent of the principal amount of the convertible debenture plus any accrued or unpaid
interest.
The Company determined that the convertible debentures did not satisfy the definition of a
conventional convertible instrument under the guidance provided in EITF Issues 00-19 and 05-02, as
an anti-dilution provision in the convertible debentures reduces the conversion price dollar for
dollar if the Company issues common stock with a price lower than the conversion price of the
convertible debentures. However, the Company has reviewed the requirements of EITF Issue 00-19 and
concluded that the embedded conversion option in the convertible debentures qualifies for equity
classification under EITF Issue 00-19, and thus, is not required to be bifurcated from the host
contract. The Company also determined that the warrants issued in the private placement offering
qualify for equity classification under the provisions of SFAS 133 and EITF Issue 00-19.
In addition, the Company has reviewed the terms of the convertible debentures to determine
whether there are any other embedded derivative instruments that may be required to be bifurcated
and accounted for separately as derivative instrument liabilities. Certain events of default
associated with the convertible debentures, including the holders right to demand redemption in
certain circumstances, have risks and rewards that are not clearly and closely associated with the
risks and rewards of the debt instruments in which they are embedded. The Company has reviewed
these embedded derivative instruments to determine whether they should be separated from the
convertible debentures. However, at this time, the Company does not believe that the value of
these derivative instrument liabilities is material.
In accordance with the provisions of APB Opinion No. 14, the Company allocated the proceeds
received in the private placement to the convertible debentures and warrants to purchase common
stock based on their relative estimated fair values. In accordance with EITF Issues 98-5 and 00-27,
management determined that the convertible debentures contained a beneficial conversion feature
based on the effective conversion price after allocating proceeds of the convertible debentures to
the common stock purchase warrants. As a result, the Company allocated $174,255 to the convertible
debentures, $578,185 to the common stock warrants, which was recorded in additional
paid-in-capital, and $737,560 to the beneficial conversion feature. The discount from the face
amount of the convertible debentures represented by the value initially assigned to any associated
warrants and to any beneficial conversion feature is amortized over the period to the due date of
each convertible debenture, using the effective interest method.
13
Effective interest associated with the convertible debentures totaled $54,320 and $101,258 for
the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008, respectively. Effective interest is accreted to
the balance of convertible debt until maturity. A total of $256,568 was paid for commissions and
expenses incurred in the private placement offering which is being amortized over the term of the
convertible debentures using the effective interest method.
Note 5 Line of Credit
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company established a line of credit to
borrow against its marketable securities. The interest rate charged through March 31, 2008, 4.47
percent, is 1.53 percentage points below the highest published Wall Street Journal Prime Rate,
which was 6.0 percent as of March 31, 2008. As of March 31, 2008, the Company has borrowed
$250,379 from the line.
Note 6 Stockholders Equity
Effective July 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123(R) for employees and directors. In
accordance with SFAS 123(R), payments in equity instruments for goods or services are accounted for
by the fair value method. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008, stock based
compensation of $210,241 and $372,906, respectively, was reflected as an increase to additional
paid in capital. Of the $210,241 stock based compensation for the three months ended March 31,
2008, $112,448 was employee related and $97,793 was non-employee related. For the nine months
ended March 31, 2008 stock based compensation of $243,324 was employee related and $129,582 was
non-employee related.
During the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2008, the Company granted warrants and
options to consultants for services rendered, under EITF Issue 96-18, Accounting for Equity
Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling,
Goods or Services. Warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of the Companys common stock were granted
to various consultants for marketing and advertising services rendered to the Company during the
three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2008.
Effective as of June 28, 2007, the Company offered to reprice warrants to purchase 6,001,866
shares of our common stock issued to investors in 2005 pursuant to a private placement offering
(2005 warrants). The 2005 warrants were originally exercisable at $2.00 and $2.50 per share by
the warrant holder and were repriced to be exercisable at $0.30 per share upon the execution of a
warrant amendment by the Company and the warrant holder. As of March 31, 2008, holders of 2005
warrants to purchase 3,395,706 shares of the Companys common stock had executed a warrant
amendment, and 2005 warrants to purchase 3,395,706 shares of the Companys common stock had been
repriced to be exercisable at $0.30 per share. As of March 31, 2008, 2005 warrants to purchase
110,454 shares of the Companys common stock had been exercised at $0.30 per share. The
unexercised 2005 warrants expired on April 18, 2008. As of the April 18, 2008 expiration date of
the 2005 warrants, 2005 warrants to purchase 1,283,083 shares of the Companys common stock were
exercised.
The Companys Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of preferred shares. However,
as of March 31, 2008, none have been issued nor have any rights or preferences been assigned to the
preferred shares by the Companys Board of Directors.

At the present time, we sell primarily a single product, Protandim®. We developed
Protandim®, a proprietary blend of ingredients that has (through studies on animals and
humans) demonstrated the ability to increase the production of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and
catalase (CAT) in brain, liver, and blood, the primary battlefields for oxidative stress.
Protandim® is designed to induce the human body to produce more of its own catalytic
antioxidants, and to decrease the process of lipid peroxidation, an indicator of oxidative stress.
Each component of Protandim® has been selected for its ability to meet these criteria.
Low, safe doses of each component help prevent unwanted additional effects that might be associated
with one or another of the components, none of which have been seen in the formulation.
We sell Protandim® directly to individuals as well as to retail stores. Since June
2005, sales of Protandim® have declined on a monthly basis as we have not previously
been successful in developing a marketing message that has resonated with the target audience.
Protandim® sales totaled approximately $784,000 and $2,388,000 for the three and nine
month periods ended March 31, 2008.
Our research efforts to date have been focused on investigating various aspects and
consequences of the imbalance of oxidants and antioxidants, an abnormality which is a central
underlying feature in many disorders. We intend to continue our research, development, and
documentation of the efficacy of Protandim® to provide credibility to the market. We
also anticipate undertaking research, development, testing, and licensing efforts to be able to
introduce additional products in the future, although we cannot offer any assurance that we will be
successful in this endeavor.
The primary manufacturing, fulfillment, and shipping components of our business are outsourced
to companies we believe possess a high degree of expertise. Through outsourcing, we hope to
achieve a more direct correlation between the costs we incur and our level of product sales, versus
the relatively high fixed costs of building our own infrastructure to accomplish these same tasks.
Outsourcing also helps to minimize our commitment of resources to the human capital required to
manage these operational components successfully. Outsourcing also provides additional capacity
without significant advance notice and often at an incremental price lower than the unit prices for
the base service.
Our expenditures have consisted primarily of marketing expenses, operating expenses, payroll
and professional fees, customer service, research and development and product manufacturing for the
marketing and sale of Protandim®.
15
We began a turn-around strategy in January 2007 to reduce our cash drain by cutting spending
and lowering our operational expenses to a more appropriate level. This effort was successful in
slowing the cash drain of the Company until such time as a new marketing strategy can be developed
and implemented.
An additional part of this turnaround strategy has been to reduce the rapid and consistent
erosion of our direct sales, which has continued since our direct sales first began in June 2005.
Through the addition of key personnel and the implementation of new, more effective, customer
service retention and recapture programs, we expect to reduce direct sales erosion experienced
during fiscal 2007 and 2008.
We also began to focus on building the sales and re-establishing positive sales momentum. In
this regard, we have taken steps that we believe will help to increase sales. Such steps include
entering into license agreements, expanding distribution, re-vamping our internet strategy and
launching a direct response TV campaign. In addition, we also are working on developing and
improving investor relations. These new strategies are being executed by David W. Brown, our new
Chief Executive Officer, who was hired in January 2008, and who has significant industry
experience.
Recent Developments
Hiring of Chief Executive Officer
The Company hired David Brown as its new President and Chief Executive Officer effective
January 10, 2008. Mr. Brown has vast nutraceutical experience and was most recently the Managing
Director and Co-Founder of Nutrition Business Advisors, a firm founded in 2003 to provide strategic
consulting services, capital raising and full-service business development focused on the $130
billion Global Nutrition Industry. Prior to co-founding Nutrition Business Advisors, Mr. Brown was
President and Chief Executive Officer of Metabolife International. From 1994 to 2000, Mr. Brown
served as the President of Natural Balance, Inc., a Colorado-based dietary supplement company. Mr.
Brown began his career as a corporate attorney, first at the Los Angeles based firm of Kindel &
Anderson, then at the Philadelphia based firm of Ballard, Spahr, Andrews & Ingersoll. Mr. Brown
holds a Juris Doctorate from Cornell University and a Bachelors of Arts from Brigham Young
University.
In connection with his appointment as President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Brown entered
into an Employment Agreement with the Company effective January 10, 2008.
Changes in Certifying Accountant
The Company dismissed Gordon, Hughes & Banks, LLP as the Companys independent registered
public accounting firm effective as of January 30, 2008. The Company appointed Ehrhardt Keefe
Steiner & Hottman PC on January 30, 2008 as its independent registered public accounting firm
beginning for the three months ended December 31, 2007, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008.
The decision to change accountants was recommended and approved by the Companys Board of Directors
and its Audit Committee on January 30, 2008.
2007 Private Placement
On September 26, and October 31, 2007, the Company issued convertible debentures in a private
placement offering. The convertible debentures are convertible into the Companys common stock at
$0.20 per share during their term and at maturity, at the Companys option may be repaid in full or
converted into common stock at the lower $0.20 per share or the average trading price for the 10
days immediately prior to the
maturity date. The Convertible Debentures bear interest at 8 percent per annum, and have a
term of three years. Gross proceeds of $1,490,000, were distributed to the Company pursuant to the
issuance of convertible debentures in the private placement offering. The Company also issued
warrants to purchase shares of the Companys common stock at $0.30 per share in the private
placement offering.
16
We intend to use the proceeds from the offering for marketing, scientific research,
development and testing of Protandim® and for working capital.
Registration Statement
On December 17, 2007, the Company filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 for the resale
of shares of the Companys common stock underlying the convertible debentures and warrants issued
in the Companys 2007 private placement offering and for certain consulting services to the
Company, by the holders of those convertible debentures and warrants (the Registration
Statement).
On March 28, 2008, in light of recent amendments to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, that shorten the holding periods for restricted securities of reporting companies, the
Company obtained a waiver of its obligations to file the Registration Statement from holders of
convertible debentures and warrants sold in the 2007 private placement.
Re-Pricing of 2005 Private Placement Warrants
Effective as of June 28, 2007, we offered to reprice warrants to purchase 6,001,866 shares of
our common stock issued to investors in 2005 pursuant to a private placement offering (the 2005
warrants). The 2005 warrants were originally exercisable at $2.00 and $2.50 per share by the
warrant holder and were repriced to be exercisable at $0.30 per share upon the execution of a
warrant amendment by the Company and the warrant holder. As of March 31, 2008, holders of 2005
warrants to purchase 3,395,706 shares of our common stock had executed a warrant amendment, and
2005 warrants to purchase 3,395,706 shares of our common stock had been repriced to be exercisable
at $0.30 per share. As of March 31, 2008, 2005 warrants to purchase 110,454 shares of our common
stock had been exercised at $0.30 per share. The 2005 warrants expired on April 18, 2008. As of
the April 18, 2008 expiration date of the 2005 warrants, 2005 warrants to purchase 1,283,083 shares
of the Companys common stock were exercised.
Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared to Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2007
Sales We generated revenues of approximately $784,000 during the three months ended
March 31, 2008 and approximately $995,000 during the same period of the prior fiscal year. For the
three month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, cost of sales was approximately $175,000 and
$214,000 resulting in a gross profit of approximately $609,000 and $782,000, respectively. We
generated revenues of approximately $2,388,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and
approximately $4,208,000 during the same period of the prior fiscal year. For the nine month
periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, cost of sales was approximately $538,000 and $838,000,
resulting in a gross profit of approximately $1,850,000 and $3,369,000, respectively. A nationally
televised news program in June 2005 continued to have an impact on sales during the three and nine
month periods ended March 31, 2007, although to a decreasing degree. No similar national news
exposure has subsequently occurred, resulting in a continued decrease in sales and gross profit for
the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008.
Gross Margin Our gross profit percentage for the three month periods ended March 31,
2008 was 78 percent and March 31, 2007 was 79 percent. Our gross profit percentage for the nine
month periods ended
March 31, 2008 and 2007 was 77 percent and 80 percent, respectively. The slight decrease in
margin for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2008 is due to the discounts to direct
sales customers during the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2008.
17
Operating Expenses Total operating expenses reported during the three month period
ended March 31, 2008 were approximately $1,146,000 as compared to operating expenses of
approximately $1,385,000 during the three month period ended March 31, 2007. Operating expenses
decreased approximately $239,000, primarily due to expense reduction and cost containment programs
implemented in General and Administrative and Marketing and Customer Service departments. Total
operating expenses reported during the nine month period ended March 31, 2008 were approximately
$3,032,000 as compared to operating expenses of approximately $6,580,000 during the nine month
period ended March 31, 2007. Operating expenses decreased approximately $3,548,000 primarily due
to a more targeted marketing approach and reductions in personnel, consulting and other cost
containment programs implemented beginning during the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Marketing and Customer Service Expenses Marketing and customer service expense
decreased from approximately $505,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2007 to approximately
$358,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2008. Marketing and customer service expense also
decreased from approximately $2,606,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 2007 to $1,021,000 in
the nine months ended March 31, 2008 primarily due to more targeted advertising and cost
containment programs that we have implemented.
General and Administrative Expenses Our general and administrative expense decreased
from approximately $807,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2007 to approximately $702,000 in
the three months ended March 31, 2008. General and administrative expense decreased from
approximately $3,607,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 2007 to approximately $1,607,000 in the
nine months ended March 31, 2008. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, stock related
compensation was approximately $210,000 compared to approximately $112,000 during the three months
ended March 31, 2007. During the nine months ended March 31, 2008, stock related compensation was
approximately $373,000 compared to approximately $1,145,000 during the nine months ended March 31,
2007. The reduction in general and administrative expenses is due to cost containment programs
that we have implemented.
Research and Development For the nine months ended March 31, 2008, our research and
development expenditures increased from approximately $196,000 to approximately $244,000, as a
result of research, development, and documentation of the efficacy of Protandim®.
Research and development expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2008 of approximately
$25,000, decreased approximately $32,000 from the $57,000 incurred during the three months ended
March 31, 2007, primarily due to staffing changes at the Company.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense Depreciation and amortization expense increased
from approximately $17,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2007 to approximately $61,000 in
the three months ended March 31, 2008. Depreciation and amortization expense increased from
approximately $77,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2007 to approximately $160,000 in the
nine months ended March 31, 2008. This increase was primarily due to the commencement of the
amortization of the Companys U.S. Patent granted on July 10, 2007.
Net Other Income and Expense We recognized net other income of approximately $21,000
in the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to net other expense of approximately $67,000
in the three months ended March 31, 2008. During the nine months ended March 31, 2008, the Company
recognized net other expense of approximately $123,000 as compared to net other income of
approximately $44,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The increase in other expense
is largely the result of interest expense related to the 2007 private placement.
Net Loss As a result of the revenues and expenses described above, the Companys net
loss was approximately $(605,000) for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 compared to a net
loss of approximately $(582,000) for the three month period ended March 31, 2007. For the nine months
ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Companys net loss was approximately $(1,305,000) and
$(3,168,000), respectively.
18
Our ability to finance future operations will depend on our existing liquidity (discussed in
more detail below) and, ultimately, on our ability to generate additional revenues and profits from
operations. However, even if we generate revenues at increasing levels, the revenues generated may
not be greater than the expenses we incur. Operating results will depend on several factors,
including the selling price of the Protandim®, the number of units of Protandim® sold, the costs of
manufacturing and distributing Protandim®, the costs of marketing and advertising, and other costs,
including corporate overhead, which we will incur.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary liquidity and capital resource requirements are to finance the cost of our planned
marketing efforts, the manufacture and sale of Protandim® and to pay our general and
administrative expenses. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from the sales of our
product and funds raised from our 2007 private placement.
At March 31, 2008, our available liquidity was approximately $1,312,000, including available
cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, less amounts borrowed against the Companys
marketable securities. This represents an increase of approximately $1,151,000 from the
approximately $161,000 in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 2007.
From time to time, the Company has invested in marketable securities including auction rate
preferred securities (ARPS) to maximize interest income. We have been notified by several of the
corporate entities that have issued ARPS to the Company of plans to refinance these instruments and
we expect settlement of ARPS held by the Company to occur during the next several months. During
the nine months ended March 31, 2008, our net cash used by operating activities was approximately
$169,000 as compared to net cash used by operating activities of approximately $2,372,000 during
the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The Companys cash used by operating activities during the
nine month period ended March 31, 2008 decreased primarily as a result of cost savings initiatives
implemented during the prior fiscal year.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2008, our net cash used by investing activities was
approximately $1,431,000, primarily due to the purchase of available-for-sale marketable
securities. During the nine months ended March 31, 2007, cash flow from investing activities was
approximately $2,869,000, primarily due to redemption of marketable securities.
Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2008 was
approximately $1,627,000, compared to cash used by financing activities of approximately $1,500
during the nine months ended March 31, 2007. Cash provided by financing activities during the nine
month period ended March 31, 2008 was due to the proceeds from the Companys private placement of
convertible securities. Cash used by financing activities during the nine month period ended March
31, 2007 was due to payments made under a capital lease obligation.
At March 31, 2008, we had working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) of
approximately $883,000, compared to working capital of approximately $(46,000) at June 30, 2007.
The increase in working capital was due to the sale of convertible debentures in our 2007 private
placement offering and the return of certain merchant credit card deposits during the nine months
ended March 31, 2008.
On September 26, and October 31, 2007, the Company issued convertible debentures in a private
placement offering, which resulted in net proceeds received by the Company of approximately
$1,328,000. Based on the cost reduction initiatives that we have undertaken to conserve our cash
resources and the net proceeds received by the Company on September 26 and October 31, 2007, we
currently anticipate that our cash resources will be sufficient to fund our anticipated working capital and capital
expenditure needs through at least March 31, 2009.
19
We base our spending in part on our expectations of future revenue levels from the sale of
Protandim®. If our revenue for a particular period is lower than expected, we will take
further steps to reduce our cash operating expenses accordingly. Cash generated from operations has
been insufficient to satisfy our long-term liquidity requirements, which led us to seek additional
financing. Additional financing may be dilutive to our existing shareholders. In an effort to
conserve our cash resources, we initiated reductions in personnel, consulting fees, advertising,
and other general and administrative expenses. These measures have reduced the scope of our
planned operations during the later part of fiscal 2007 and the first nine months of fiscal 2008 by
reducing our advertising budget to promote Protandim®.
We plan to use the proceeds received from the 2007 private placement offering to expand
marketing efforts, scientific studies, intellectual property protection and working capital in
effort to grow direct to consumer and retail revenue. However, our cash resources may run out
sooner than expected if our future revenue is lower than expected or our operating or other
expenses are higher than expected. If we are unable to increase revenues as planned, we may be
required to further reduce the scope of our planned operations, which could harm our business,
financial condition and operating results.
Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. As such, we are required to make certain estimates,
judgments, and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available.
These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods
presented. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Our significant accounting policies
are described in Note 2 to our financial statements. Certain of these significant accounting
policies require us to make difficult, subjective, or complex judgments or estimates. We consider
an accounting estimate to be critical if (1) the accounting estimate requires us to make
assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made,
and (2) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, or use
of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a
material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
There are other items within our financial statements that require estimation, but are not
deemed critical as defined above. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a
material impact on our financial statements. Management has discussed the development and
selection of these critical accounting estimates with our Board of Directors, and the audit
committee has reviewed the foregoing disclosure.
Allowances for Product Returns We record allowances for product returns at the time
we ship the product. We base these accruals on the historical return rate since the inception of
our selling activities, and the specific historical return patterns of the product. Our return
rate since the inception of selling activities is approximately 2 percent of sales.
We offer a 30-day, money back unconditional guarantee to all direct customers. As of March
31, 2008, our March 2008 direct sales shipments of approximately $230,000 were subject to the money
back guarantee. We also replace product returned due to damage during shipment wholly at our cost,
the total of which historically has been negligible.
20
As the Company has begun to recognize revenue associated with sales to distributors, the
Company has also utilized its return rate experience of 2 percent of sales to estimate returns on
its sales to distributors.
We monitor our return estimate on an ongoing basis and may revise the allowances to reflect
our experience. Our allowance for product returns was approximately $156,000 on March 31, 2008,
compared with approximately $113,000 on June 30, 2007. To date, product expiration dates have not
played any role in product returns, and we do not expect they will in the foreseeable future
because it is unlikely that we will ship product with an expiration date earlier than the latest
allowable product return date.
Inventory Valuation We state inventories at the lower of cost or market on a first-in
first-out basis. From time to time, we maintain a reserve for inventory obsolescence and we base
this reserve on assumptions about current and future product demand, inventory whose shelf life has
expired and market conditions. From time to time, we may be required to make additional reserves
in the event there is a change in any of these variables. We recorded no reserves for obsolete
inventory as of March 31, 2008 because our product and raw materials have a shelf life of at least
three (3) years based upon testing performed quarterly in an accelerated aging chamber at our
manufacturers facility.
Revenue Recognition We ship the majority of our product by United Parcel Service and
receive payment for those shipments in the form of credit card charges. Our return policy is to
provide a 30-day money back guarantee on direct sales orders placed by customers. After 30 days,
we do not refund direct sales customers for returned product. We have experienced monthly returns
on direct sales orders approximating less than 2 percent of sales. Sales revenue and estimated
returns are recorded when the merchandise is shipped and title and risk of loss passes to the
customer.
For retail customers, the Company analyzes its distributor contracts to determine the
appropriate accounting treatment for its recognition of revenue on a customer by customer basis.
Where the right of return exists beyond 30 days, revenue and the related cost of sales is deferred
until sufficient sell-through data is received to reasonably estimate the amount of future returns.
We entered into an agreement with GNC for the sale of Protandim®, beginning July
2005, pursuant to which GNC has the right to return any and all product shipped to GNC, at any
time, for any reason. In July 2006, the Company began the recognition of revenue under the
agreement with GNC due to the accumulation of historical sell-through and return data. The Company
recognizes revenue and its related costs when it obtains sufficient information to reasonably
estimate the amount of future returns. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue associated with
sales to GNC when the product is sold by GNC with an allowance for future returns based on
historical product return information. Prior to July 2006, all revenue and related costs from GNC
were deferred.
In July 2006, LifeVantage entered into an agreement with CVS for the sale of
Protandim® throughout the CVS store network. During the three months ended March 31,
2008, the Company agreed to accept, pursuant to a return authorization, a portion of the product
from CVS Stores that had not been sold through this retail channel. As of March 31, 2008
sufficient bottles were returned by CVS to offset the receivable from CVS and both parties agreed
to waive any further obligations from the other party and the supply arrangement was terminated.
Research and Development Costs We have expensed all of our payments related to
research and development activities.
Derivative Instruments In connection with the sale of debt or equity instruments, we
may sell options or warrants to purchase our common stock. In certain circumstances, these options
or warrants may be classified as derivative liabilities, rather than as equity. Additionally, the
debt or equity instruments may contain embedded derivative instruments, such as conversion options,
which in certain circumstances may be required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument
and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument liability.
21
The identification of, and accounting for, derivative instruments is complex. For options,
warrants and any bifurcated conversion options that are accounted for as derivative instrument
liabilities, we determine the fair value of these instruments using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model. That model requires assumptions related to the remaining term of the instruments and
risk-free rates of return, our current common stock price and expected dividend yield, and the
expected volatility of our common stock price over the life of the instruments. Because of the
limited trading history for our common stock, we have estimated the future volatility of our common
stock price based on not only the history of our stock price but also the experience of other
entities considered comparable to us. The identification of, and accounting for, derivative
instruments and the assumptions used to value them can significantly affect our financial
statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
We have reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements
and do not believe any such pronouncements will have a material impact on our financial statements.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in the Companys reports is recorded, processed, summarized,
and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-QSB,
we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), under the supervision and with the
participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based on this
evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the
period covered by this report.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during our fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
