NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 AND 2011

These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes of Lifevantage Corporation (the “Company”) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2012 included in its annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 10, 2012.

Note 1 — Organization and Basis of Presentation:

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company’s management, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of the Company’s management, these interim Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position as of September 30, 2012, and the results of operations for the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and the cash flows for the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. 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-Q, and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s audited financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 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, 2012, and included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K on file with the SEC.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Translation of Foreign Currency Statements

The Company translates the financial statements of its foreign entities by using the current exchange rate. For assets and liabilities, the exchange rate at the balance sheet date is used. For any investment in subsidiaries and retained earnings, the historical exchange rate is used. For revenue, expenses, gains, and losses, an appropriately weighted average exchange rate for the period is used.

Use of Estimates

Management 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers only its monetary liquid assets with original maturities of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

The Company’s accounts receivable for the periods ended September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012 consist primarily of credit card receivables. Based on the Company’s verification process for customer credit cards and historical information available, management has determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts on credit card sales related to its direct and independent distributor sales as of September 30, 2012 is not necessary. No bad debt expense has been recorded for the periods ended September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012.

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 its product. As of September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, inventory consisted of (in thousands):

 

     September 30,

Total inventory

   $ 13,066       $ 11,353   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

Revenue Recognition

The Company ships the majority of its product directly to the consumer and receives substantially all payment for these sales in the form of credit card receipts. 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. Estimated returns are recorded when product is shipped. The Company’s 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. In the network marketing sales channel, the Company allows terminating distributors to return unopened unexpired product that they have purchased within the prior twelve months, subject to certain consumption limitations. The Company establishes the returns reserve based on historical experience. The returns reserve is evaluated on a quarterly basis. As of September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, the Company’s reserve balance for returns and allowances was approximately $611,000 and $863,000, respectively.

Income/(Loss) per share

Basic income or 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. For the three month period ended September 30, 2012 the effects of approximately 542,000 common shares issuable upon exercise of options granted pursuant to the Company’s 2007 and 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plans are not included in computations because their effect was anti-dilutive. For the three month period ended September 30, 2011 the effects of approximately 515,000 common shares issuable upon exercise of options granted pursuant to the Company’s 2007 and 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plans are not included in computations because their effect was anti-dilutive.

The following is a reconciliation of earnings per share and the weighted-average common shares outstanding for purposes of computing basic and diluted net income per share (in thousands except per share amounts):

The numerator at September 30, 2011 was adjusted for purposes of calculating the diluted earnings per share by subtracting the income from the change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $805,000.

Research and Development Costs

The Company expenses all costs related to research and development activities as incurred. Research and development expenses for the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were approximately $514,000 and $234,000, respectively.

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight and freight out to customers, including independent distributors, are included in cost of sales. Shipping and handling fees charged to all customers are included in sales.

Stock-Based Compensation

In certain circumstances, the Company issued common stock for invoiced services and in other similar situations to pay contractors and vendors. Payments in equity instruments to non-employees for goods or services are accounted for using the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using statutory tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the effective date of the change.

As of September 30, 2012 the Company has recognized income tax expense of $2.7 million which is the Company’s estimated federal and state income tax liability for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings in specific tax jurisdictions, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. The Company continues to evaluate the realizability of the deferred tax asset based upon achieved and estimated future results. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized, the Company will reverse all or a portion of the allowance as deemed appropriate. The difference between the effective rate of 38.99% and the Federal statutory rate of 35.00% is due to state income taxes (net of federal benefit), and certain permanent differences between taxable and book income.

The Company recognizes tax benefits from an uncertain position only if it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the issue. The amount recognized is the largest benefit that the Company believes has greater than a 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company discloses significant concentrations of credit risk regardless of the degree of such risk. Financial instruments with significant credit risk include cash and investments. At September 30, 2012, the Company had $13.7 million in cash accounts that were held primarily at one financial institution, approximately $1.5 million in foreign bank accounts and $10.0 million in an investment management account at another financial institution. As of September 30 and June 30, 2012 the Company’s cash balances exceeded federally insured limits.

Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has reviewed recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and does not believe any such pronouncements will have a material impact on our financial statements.

Note 3 — Stockholders’ Equity

During the three months ended September 30, 2012 the Company issued 2,577,926 shares of common stock as a result of the exercise of warrants and options and 96,500 shares of restricted stock.

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of preferred shares. However, as of September 30, 2012, none have been issued nor have any rights or preferences been assigned to the preferred shares by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Note 4 — Stock-based Compensation

The Company adopted and the shareholders approved the 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”), effective November 21, 2006, to provide incentives to eligible employees, directors and consultants. A maximum of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock can be issued under the 2007 Plan in connection with the grant of awards. Awards to purchase common stock have been granted pursuant to the 2007 Plan and are outstanding to various employees, officers, directors, independent distributors and Scientific Advisory Board (“SAB”) members at prices between $0.21 and $1.50 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 2007 Plan upon expiration of the award. As of September 30, 2012, awards for the purchase of an aggregate of 6.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock are outstanding under the 2007 Plan.

The Company adopted and the shareholders approved the 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), effective September 27, 2010, as amended on January 10, 2012, to provide incentives to eligible employees, directors and consultants. A maximum of 6.9 million shares of the Company’s common stock can be issued under the 2010 Plan in connection with the grant of awards. Awards to purchase common stock have been granted pursuant to the 2010 Plan and are outstanding to various employees, officers and directors at prices between $0.63 and $3.53 per share, subject to various vesting periods. As of September 30, 2012 , awards with respect to 4.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding under the 2010 Plan.

Payments in equity instruments for goods or services are accounted for under the guidance of share based payments, which require use of the fair value method. The Company has adjusted the expense for anticipated forfeitures. Compensation based options and restricted stock totaling 233,900 and 87,500 shares were granted for the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, stock based compensation of $489,000 was reflected as an increase to additional paid in capital. All of the stock based compensation for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was employee related. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, stock based compensation of approximately $355,000 was reflected as an increase to additional paid in capital. Of the stock based compensation for the three months ended September 30, 2011, approximately $251,000 was employee related and $104,000 was non-employee related.

Compensation expense was calculated using the fair value method during the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 using the Black-Scholes Merton option pricing model. The following assumptions were used for options and warrants granted during the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

 

  1. risk-free interest rates of 0.82 and 0.88 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 0.93 and 0.95 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2011;

 

  2. dividend yield of -0- percent;

 

  3. expected life of 4 to 6 years; and

  4. a volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company’s common stock of 126 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 137 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. We urge you to carefully review our description and examples of forward-looking statements included in the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” at the beginning of this report. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, events or circumstances after the date of this report. Actual events or results may differ materially from such statements. In evaluating such statements, we urge you to specifically consider various factors identified in this report, including the matters set forth below in Part II, Item 1A of this report, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and related notes, as well as the Financial Statements and related notes in our Annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 and the risk factors discussed therein.

Overview

We are a company dedicated to helping people achieve their health, wellness and financial independence goals. We provide quality, scientifically validated products and a financially rewarding network marketing business opportunity to customers and independent distributors who seek a healthy lifestyle and financial freedom. We sell our products in the United States, Japan, Australia and Mexico through a network of independent distributors, and to preferred and retail customers. We also sell our products directly to consumers located in Canada for personal consumption.

We engage in the identification, research, development, manufacture and distribution of advanced nutraceutical dietary supplements, including our flagship product, Protandim®, the Nrf2 Synergizer® and our anti-aging skin care product, LifeVantage TrueScience®. We currently focus our ongoing internal research efforts on oxidative stress solutions, particularly the activation of Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2, also known as Nrf2, as it relates to health-related disorders.

Our Products

Our products are Protandim® and LifeVantage TrueScience®. Protandim® is a proprietary blend of ingredients that has been shown to combat oxidative stress by increasing the body’s natural antioxidant protection at the genetic level, inducing the production of naturally-occurring protective antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione synthase. LifeVantage TrueScience® is our science-based anti-aging skin care product, which incorporates some of the ingredients found in our Protandim® product with other proprietary ingredients.

We sell our Protandim® and LifeVantage TrueScience® products primarily through network marketing to independent distributors and to our preferred and retail customers.

To date, we have focused our research efforts 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 our Protandim® formula to provide credibility to the market. We also anticipate undertaking research, development, testing, licensing and acquisition efforts to be able to introduce additional products in the future, although we may not be successful in this endeavor.

Net revenue from Protandim®, TrueScience® and related marketing materials totaled approximately $52.9 million and $20.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2011

Revenue We generated net sales of $52.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012, and generated net sales of $20.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in sales of $32.8 million is due to increased sales in the Americas and Asia Pacific regions. The U.S. made up $16.8 million of the increase and Japan made up $14.8 million of the increase.

Gross Margin Our gross profit percentage for the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was 85%. We expect the gross margin percentages for this sales channel to remain in this range for the foreseeable future.

Operating Expenses Total operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $38.0 million as compared to operating expenses of $13.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Operating expenses consist of sales and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, research and development, and depreciation and amortization expenses. The increase in operating expenses is due primarily to the need to support the increased number of independent distributors and preferred customers selling and consuming our products. We expect our operating expenses to continue to increase proportionate to sales increases and as we continue to grow.

Table of Contents

Sales and Marketing Expenses Sales and marketing expense increased from $10.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $29.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. This increase was due primarily to commissions paid to distributors due to the higher sales volume, increased headcount and promotional events. We expect continued increases in sales and marketing expenses as our sales increase.

General and Administrative Expenses Our general and administrative expense increased from $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $7.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase of $5.1 million is primarily due to increased headcount, lease costs for additional office space and administration costs associated with our Japan operations. We expect general and administrative expenses to remain relatively stable, however we expect periodic increases associated with additional personnel required to support our growth.

Research and Development Our research and development expenses increased from $234,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $514,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase of $280,000 is primarily a result of an increase in personnel costs. Continued investment in research and development is a company priority and we intend to commit up to approximately 2% of our total net sales in future periods for research and development efforts. The recognition and timing of these expenses will be dependent upon entry into specific research and development projects, which are currently in the planning stages.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $80,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $238,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2012. The year-over-year increase for the three month period was due primarily to assets purchased during the previous fiscal year and the quarter ended September 30, 2012 to support our continuing growth.

Net Other Income (Expense) We recognized net other expense of $41,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to net other income of $766,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2011. The income recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2011 was primarily from the change in fair value of derivative liabilities. As of September 30, 2012 we have no instruments classified as derivative liabilities.

Income Tax Expense We recognized $2.7 million in income tax expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $472,000 for the three months ended September 2011. The income tax expense in 2012 reflects our estimated liability for Federal and state income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Net Income We recorded net income of $4.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to net income of $3.7 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary liquidity and capital resource requirements are to finance our continued expansion of sales through our network of independent distributors. This includes the costs associated with additional support personnel, compensating our distributors, the manufacture and sale of our products, capital investments in systems and infrastructure and general and administrative expenses. In order to remain cash flow positive from operations, we must maintain or continue to increase sales and maintain or limit expense increases.

Our primary source of liquidity is cash generated from the sales of our products. As of September 30, 2012, our available liquidity was $25.2 million, including available cash and cash equivalents. This represented an increase of $600,000 from the $24.6 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2012. Our cash provided by operating activities during the three month period ended September 30, 2012 decreased to $915,000 from $3.3 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2011 primarily as a result of income tax paid, a decrease in accounts payable, and increases in inventory and lease deposits.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, our net cash used by investing activities was $1.6 million, due primarily to the purchase of fixed assets. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, our net cash used by investing activities was $369,000 primarily due to the purchase of fixed and intangible assets.

Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $1.2 million compared to cash provided by financing activities of $12,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2011. Cash provided by financing activities resulted from exercises of options and warrants.

At September 30, 2012, we had working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) of $26.2 million, compared to working capital of $22.8 million at June 30, 2012.

Our ability to finance future operations will depend on our existing liquidity and on our ability to generate continued revenues and profits from operations. We believe that existing cash on hand and future cash flow will be sufficient to allow us to continue operations for at least the next 12 months. A shortfall from projected sales levels would likely result in expense reductions, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to continue operations at current levels. If we are unable to generate cash from operations at projected or otherwise sufficient levels, we may be required to seek additional funds through debt, equity or equity-based financing (such as convertible debt); however financing may not be available on favorable terms or at all. If we raise additional funds by selling additional shares of our capital stock, or securities convertible into shares of our capital stock, the ownership interest of our existing shareholders will be diluted. The amount of dilution could be increased by the issuance of warrants or securities with other dilutive characteristics, such as anti-dilution clauses or price resets.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2012, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

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 based on estimated return rates. 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.

 

15


Table of Contents

We offer a 30-day, money back unconditional guarantee to all direct customers. As of September 30, 2012, approximately $14.4 million of our sales were subject to the money back guarantee. We replace product returned due to damage during shipment wholly at our cost, the total of which historically has been negligible. In addition, we allow terminating distributors to return 30% of unopened unexpired product that they purchased during the prior twelve months, subject to certain consumption limitations.

We monitor our returns estimate on an ongoing basis and may revise the allowances to reflect our experience. Our allowance for product returns was $ 611,000 at September 30, 2012, compared with $863,000 at June 30, 2012. To date, product expiration dates have not played any role in product returns, and we do not expect product expiration dates to affect product returns 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 value our inventory at the lower of cost or market value on a first in first out basis. Accordingly, we reduce our inventories for the diminution of value resulting from product obsolescence, damage or other issues affecting marketability equal to the difference between the cost of the inventory and its estimated market value. Factors utilized in the determination of estimated market value include (i) current sales data and historical return rates, (ii) estimates of future demand, (iii) competitive pricing pressures, (iv) new production introductions, (v) product expiration dates, and (vi) component and packaging obsolescence.

We have recorded $233,000 of obsolescence costs as of September 30, 2012 primarily for obsolete marketing materials.

Revenue Recognition We ship the majority of our product directly to the consumer through the direct to consumer and network marketing sales channels and receive substantially all payment for these shipments in the form of credit card charges. We recognize revenue from direct product sales to customers 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.

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.

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 Merton 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.

Intangible Assets — Patent Costs We review the carrying value of our patent costs and compare to fair value at least annually to determine whether the patents have continuing value. In determining fair value, we consider undiscounted future cash flows and market capitalization.

Stock-Based Compensation We use the fair value approach to account for stock-based compensation in accordance with the modified version of prospective application.

Research and Development Costs We have expensed all of our payments related to research and development activities.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

We have reviewed 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. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Under SEC rules and regulations, because the aggregate worldwide market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates was more than $75 million, but less than $700 million, as of December 31, 2011, the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, we are considered to be an “accelerated filer.” We were considered to be a “smaller reporting company” when we determined our filing status for purposes of our annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. SEC rules and regulations provide that a smaller reporting company transitioning to the larger reporting system, as we did in fiscal 2012, may finish reporting as a smaller reporting company for the rest of the fiscal year, including in its annual report on Form 10-K, and is not required to satisfy the larger reporting company disclosure requirements until the first quarterly report for the new fiscal year following the determination date. Accordingly, we were not required to and did not provide the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk required by Item 305 of Regulation S-K in our annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. As a result, we are not required to provide the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk required by Item 305 of Regulation S-K in this quarterly report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and (b) accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness and design and operation of such disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2012.

Changes In Internal Control over Financial Reporting

An evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Exchange Act was also performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of any change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter. That evaluation did not identify any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Following the end of the quarterly period covered by this report, we became subject to the legal proceeding and claims discussed in the following paragraph. In management’s opinion, there is not a reasonable possibility that we may have incurred a material loss, or a material loss in excess of a recorded accrual, with respect to this legal proceeding. However, the outcome of legal proceedings and claims brought against our company are subject to significant uncertainty. Though we believe it unlikely, if this legal matter was resolved against our company for amounts in excess of management’s expectations, our financial statements of the reporting period during which it is so resolved could be materially adversely affected.

In October 2012, a shareholder filed a purported class action complaint against our company and each of our directors alleging that the proposal in our proxy statement for our annual meeting of shareholders to be held on November 14, 2012 requesting shareholder approval of a non-binding advisory resolution approving the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed pursuant to the SEC’s compensation disclosure rules was misleading and incomplete. The plaintiff claims, among other things, that our directors violated fiduciary duties and that our company knowingly aided and abetted our directors’ alleged wrongdoing. We believe that this lawsuit is without merit and intend to defend it vigorously.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in “Part I. Item 1A — Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. The risks and uncertainties described in such risk factors and elsewhere in this report have the potential to materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, projected results and future prospects. As of the date of this report, we do not believe that there have been any material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the period covered by this report, we issued 1,796,176 unregistered shares of our common stock upon the exercise of warrants we previously issued in connection with private placements. The shares issued were exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) thereof.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

SECTION 16.01 NOTICES. Except as provided in Section 19.01, any notice required or permitted hereunder to be given or transmitted between the parties shall be either 1) personally delivered, or 2) mailed postage prepaid by registered mall, return receipt requested, or mailed by express carrier addressed if to Tenant at the address set forth in Section 1.01(E), and if to Landlord at the address set forth in Section 1.01(C). Either party may, by written notice to the other given as prescribed in this Section 16.01, change its above address for any future notices which are mailed under this Lease.

ARTICLE XVII. DESTRUCTION OF THE LEASED PREMISES

SECTION 17.01 DESTRUCTION.

(a) If the Leased Premises are partially or totally destroyed by fire or other casualty insurable under standard fire insurance policies with extended coverage endorsement so as to become partially or totally untenantable, the same shall be repaired or rebuilt as speedily as practical under the circumstances at the expense of the Landlord, unless Landlord elects not to repair or rebuild as provided in Subsection (b) of this Section 17.01. During the period required for restoration, a just and proportionate part of Base Monthly Rent, Additional Rent and other charges payable by Tenant hereunder shall be abated until the Leased Premises are repaired or rebuilt.

(b) If the Leased Premises are (I) rendered totally untenantable by reason of an occurrence described in Subsection (a), or (II) damaged or destroyed as a result of a risk which is not insured under Landlord’s fire insurance policies, or (III) at least twenty percent (20%) damaged or destroyed during the last year of the Rental Term, or (IV) if the Building is damaged in whole or in part (whether or not the Leased Premises are damaged), to such an extent that Tenant cannot practically use the Leased Premises for its intended purpose, then and in any such events either party may terminate this Lease by notice in writing to the other party within sixty (60) days after the date of such occurrence. Unless either party gives such notice, this Lease will remain in full force and effect and Landlord shall repair such damage at its expense as expeditiously as possible under the circumstances.

(c) If Landlord should elect or be obligated pursuant to Subsection (a) above to repair or rebuild because of any damage or destruction, Landlord’s obligation shall be limited to the original Building any other work or improvements which may have been originally performed or installed at Landlord’s expense. If the cost of performing Landlord’s obligation exceeds the actual proceeds of insurance paid or payable to Landlord on account of such casualty, Landlord may terminate this Lease unless Tenant, within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor, deposits with Landlord a sum of money sufficient to pay the difference between the cost of repair and the proceeds of the insurance available for such purpose. Tenant shall replace all work and improvements not originally installed or performed by Landlord at its expense.

(d) Except as stated in this Article XVII, and for acts of gross negligence or willful misconduct, Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage sustained by Tenant by reason of casualties mentioned hereinabove or any other accidental casualty.

ARTICLE XVIII. CONDEMNATION

SECTION 18.01 CONDEMNATION. As used in this Section the term “Condemnation Proceeding” means any action or proceeding in which any interest in the Leased Premises or Building is taken for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful authority through exercise of the power of eminent domain or right of condemnation or by purchase or otherwise in lieu thereof. If the whole of the Leased Premises is taken through Condemnation Proceedings, this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date possession is taken by the condemning authority. If in excess of twenty-five (25%) percent of the Leased Premises is taken, either party hereto shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving the other written notice of such election at any time within thirty (30) days after the date of taking. If less than twenty-five (25%) percent of the space is taken and Landlord determines, in Landlord’s sole discretion, that a reasonable amount of reconstruction thereof will not result in the Leased Premises or the Building becoming a practical improvement reasonably suitable for use for the purpose for which it is designed, then Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by giving thirty (30) days written notice as provided hereinabove. In all other cases, or if neither party exercises its option to terminate, this Lease shall remain in effect and the rent payable hereunder from and after the date of taking shall be proportionately reduced in proportion to the ratio of: (1) the area contained in the Leased Premises which is capable of occupancy after the taking; to (II) the total area contained in the Leased Premises which was capable of occupancy prior to the taking. In the event of any termination or rental reduction provided for in this Section, there shall be a proration of the rent payable under this Lease and Landlord shall refund any excess theretofore paid by Tenant. Whether or not this Lease is terminated as a consequence of Condemnation Proceedings, all damages or compensation awarded for a partial or total taking, including any sums compensating Tenant for diminution in the value of or deprivation of its leasehold estate, shall be the sole and exclusive property of Landlord, except that Tenant will be entitled to any awards intended to compensate Tenant for expenses of locating and moving Tenant’s operations to a new space, including personal business equipment.

ARTICLE XIX. DEFAULT OF TENANT

SECTION 19.01 DEFAULT—RIGHT TO RE-ENTER. In the event of any failure of Tenant to pay any rental due hereunder within ten (10) days after written notice that the same is past due shall have been mailed to Tenant, or any failure by Tenant to perform any other of the terms, conditions or covenants required of Tenant by this Lease within thirty (30) days after written notice of such default shall have been mailed to Tenant (unless it is not reasonable to have such failure cured within such thirty (30) day period, in which case Tenant shall have made substantial progress towards curing such failure with in such thirty (30) day period) (the “Cure Period”) or if Tenant shall abandon said Leased Premises, or permit this Lease to be taken under any writ of execution. At the end of the Cure Period, then Landlord, besides other rights or remedies it may have, shall have the right to declare this Lease terminated and shall have the immediate right of re-entry and may remove all persons and property from the Leased Premises. Such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant, without evidence of notice or resort to legal process and without being deemed guilty of trespass, or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby. Tenant hereby waives all compensation for the forfeiture of the term or its loss of possession of the Leased Premises in the event of the forfeiture of this Lease as provided for above.

SECTION 19.02 DEFAULT—RIGHT TO RE-LET. Should Landlord elect to re-enter, as herein provided, or should it take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, it may either terminate this Lease or it may from time to time, without terminating this Lease, make such alterations and repairs as may be necessary in order to re-let the Leased Premises, and may re-let said Leased Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term extending beyond the term of this Lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable. Upon each such re-letting, all rentals received by Landlord from such re-letting shall be applied first to the payment of any costs and expenses of such re-letting, including brokerage fees and attorney’s fees and costs of such alterations and repairs; second, to the payment of rent or other unpaid obligations due hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. If such rental received from such re-letting during any month be less than that to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking possession of said Leased Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court or competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such

 

19


re-letting without termination, Landlord may at any time elect to terminate this Lease for such previous default. Should Landlord at any time terminate this Lease for any default, in addition to any other remedies it may have, it may recover from Tenant all damages it may incur by reason of such default, including the cost of recovering the Leased Premises, reasonable attorney’s fees, and including the worth at the time of such termination of the excess, if any, of the amount of rent and charges equivalent to rent reserved in this Lease for the remainder of the stated term over the then reasonable rental value of the Leased Premises for the remainder of the stated term, all of which amounts shall be immediately due and payable.

SECTION 19.03 LEGAL EXPENSES. In case of default by either party in the performance and obligations under this Lease, the defaulting party shall pay all costs incurred in enforcing this Lease, or any right arising out of such default, whether by suit or otherwise, including a reasonable attorney’s fee.

ARTICLE XX. BANKRUPTCY, INSOLVENCY OR RECEIVERSHIP

SECTION 20.01 ACT OF INSOLVENCY, GUARDIANSHIP, ETC. The following shall constitute a default of this Lease by the Tenant for which Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may immediately terminate this Lease.

(a) The appointment of a receiver to take possession of all or substantially all of the assets of the Tenant.

(b) A general assignment by the Tenant of his assets for the benefit of creditors.

(c) Any action taken or suffered by or against the Tenant under any federal or state insolvency or bankruptcy act.

(d) The appointment of a guardian, conservator, trustee, or other similar officer to take charge of all or any substantial part of the Tenant’s property.

Neither this Lease, nor any interest therein nor any estate thereby created shall pass to any trustee, guardian, receiver or assignee for the benefit of creditors or otherwise by operation of law.

ARTICLE XXI. LANDLORD ACCESS

SECTION 21.01 LANDLORD ACCESS. Landlord or Landlord’s agent shall have the right to enter the Leased Premises upon two (2) days’ prior written notice and at reasonable times to examine the same, or to show them to prospective purchasers or lessees of the Building, or to make all repairs, alterations, improvements or additions as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable, and Landlord shall be allowed to take all material into and upon said Leased Premises that may be required therefor without the same constituting an eviction of Tenant in whole or in part, and rent shall not abate while said repairs, alterations, improvements, or additions are being made, by reason of loss or interruption of business of Tenant, or otherwise upon a mutually reasonably agreed upon time by both Landlord and Tenant. During the ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Rental Term of this Lease or any renewal term, Landlord may exhibit the Leased Premises to prospective tenants and place upon the Leased Premises the usual notices “To Let” or “For Rent” which notices Tenant shall permit to remain thereon with molestation.

ARTICLE XXII. LANDLORD’S LIEN

SECTION 22.01 LANDLORD’S LIEN. Tenant acknowledges that as of the date hereof, Utah Code Section 38-3-1 and following may grant Landlord a lien upon certain improvements, trade fixtures and furnishings of Tenant in regard to unpaid rent.

20


ARTICLE XXIII. HOLDING OVER

SECTION 23.01 HOLDING OVER. Any holding over after the expiration of the Rental Term hereof shall be construed to be a tenancy at sufferance and all provisions of this Lease shall be and remain in effect except that the monthly rental shall be one hundred twenty percent (120%) of rent (including any adjustments as provided herein) payable for the last full calendar month of the Rental Term including renewals or extensions.

SECTION 23.02 SUCCESSORS. All rights and liabilities herein given to, or imposed upon, the respective parties hereto shall extend to and bind the several respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the said parties; and if there shall be more than one tenant, they shall all be bound jointly and severally by the terms, covenants and agreements herein. No rights, however, shall inure to the benefit of any assignee of Tenant unless the assignment to such assignee has been approved by Landlord in writing.

ARTICLE XXIV. RULES AND REGULATIONS

SECTION 24.01 RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant shall comply with all reasonable rules and regulations which are now or which may be hereafter prescribed by the Landlord and posted in or about said Leased Premises or otherwise brought to the notice of the Tenant, both with regard to the project as a whole and to the Leased Premises including common facilities.

ARTICLE XXV. QUIET ENJOYMENT

SECTION 25.01 QUIET ENJOYMENT. Upon payment by the Tenant of the rents herein provided, and upon the observance and performance of all the covenants, terms and conditions on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Leased Premises for the term hereby demised without hindrance or interruption by Landlord or any other person or persons lawfully or equitably claiming by, through or under the Landlord, subject, nevertheless, to the terms and conditions of this Lease and actions resulting from future eminent domain proceedings and casualty losses.

ARTICLE XXVI. SECURITY DEPOSIT

SECTION 26.01 SECURITY DEPOSIT. The Landlord herewith acknowledges receipt of the amount set forth in Section 1.01 (U) which it is to retain as security for the faithful performance of all the covenants, conditions and agreements of this Lease, but in no event shall the Landlord be obliged to apply the same upon rents or other charges in arrears or upon damages for the Tenant’s failure to perform the said covenants, conditions and agreements; the Landlord may so apply the Security Deposit, at its option; and the Landlord’s right to the possession of the Leased Premises for non-payment of rents or for other reasons shall not in any event be affected by reason of the fact that the Landlord holds this Security Deposit. The said sum, if not applied toward the payment of rents in arrears or toward the payment of damages suffered by the Landlord by reason of the Tenant’s breach of the covenants, conditions and agreements of this Lease, is to be returned to Tenant without interest when this Lease is terminated, according to these terms, and in no event is the Security Deposit to be returned until Tenant has vacated the Leased Premises and delivered possession to the Landlord.

In the event that the Landlord repossesses Leased Premises because of the Tenant’s default or because of the Tenant’s failure to carry out the covenants, conditions and agreements of this Lease, Landlord may apply the said Security Deposit toward damages as may be suffered or shall accrue thereafter by reason of the Tenant’s default or breach. In the event of bankruptcy or other debtor-creditor proceedings against Tenant as specified in Article XX, the Security Deposit shall be deemed to be applied first to the payment of Base Monthly Rent, Additional Rent and other charges due Landlord for the earliest possible periods prior to the filing of such proceedings. The Landlord shall not be obliged to keep the said Security Deposit as a separate fund, but may mix the same with its own funds.

 

21


ARTICLE XXVII. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

SECTION 27.01 WAIVER. No failure on the part of either party to enforce any covenant or provision of this Lease shall discharge or invalidate such covenant or provision or affect the right of such party to enforce the same in the event of any subsequent breach. One or more waivers of any covenant or condition by either party shall not be construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same covenant or condition and the consent to or approval of any subsequent similar act by the other party. No breach of a covenant or condition of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord, unless such waiver be in writing signed by the party waiving the same.

SECTION 27.05 ACCORD AND SATISFACTION. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the amount owing hereunder shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated amount receivable from Tenant, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such rent or receivable or pursue any other remedy available under this Lease or the law of the state where the Leased Premises are located.
