INNOVATIVE FOOD HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
 
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Innovative Food Holdings, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Artisan Specialty Foods, Inc. (“Artisan”), Food Innovations, Inc. (“FII”), Food New Media Group, Inc. (“FNM”), Gourmet Foodservice Group, Inc. (“GFG”),  and 4 The Gourmet, Inc (d/b/a For The Gourmet, Inc.) (“Gourmet”) (collectively, the “Company, or “IVFH”),  have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  FNM currently holds the Company’s intellectual property rights related to its private label brand.  All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation of these entities.
 
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles pursuant to Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and related notes as contained in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. In the opinion of management, the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation of the interim periods presented. The results of the operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.
 
2. NATURE OF ACTIVITIES AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Business Activity
 
FII is in the business of providing premium white tablecloth restaurants with the freshest origin-specific perishables and specialty food products direct from its network of vendors to the end users (restaurants, hotels, country clubs, national chain accounts, casinos, and catering houses) within 24 - 72 hours. For The Gourmet Inc., through its website www.forthegourmet.com, and through additional sales channels, provides the highest quality gourmet food products to the retail consumer market under the For The Gourmet line.  

We currently sell the majority of our products through a distributor relationship between FII and Next Day Gourmet, L.P., a subsidiary of U.S. Foods (“USF”), a $20 Billion broad line distributor.  On May 18, 2012, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Artisan Specialty Foods, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“Artisan”), Artisan was previously a supplier to the Company. Artisan Specialty Foods is a supplier of over 1,500 niche gourmet products to over 500 customers in the Chicago area.
  
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates include certain assumptions related to doubtful accounts receivable, stock-based services, valuation of financial instruments, and income taxes. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and concentration of credit risk. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe our estimates have not been materially inaccurate in past years, and our assumptions are not likely to change in the foreseeable future.
 
On August 25, 2005, the Company entered into contracts which obligated the company under certain circumstances to issue shares of common stock in excess of the number of shares of common stock authorized. Under accounting guidance provided by FASB ASC 815-40-05, effective August 25, 2005 the Company began to account for all derivative financial instruments, including warrants, conversion features embedded in notes payable, and stock options, via the liability method of accounting. Accordingly, all these instruments are valued at issuance utilizing the Black-Scholes valuation method, and are re-valued at each period ending date, also using the Black-Scholes valuation method.  Any gain or loss from revaluation is charged to operations during the period.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2012
(Unaudited)
 
Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.  The Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $3,480,990 as of September 30, 2012.  
 
The Company is working to manage its current liabilities while it continues to make changes in operations to further improve its cash flow and liquidity position. Management believes the Company will generate sufficient capital from operations and from debt and equity financing in order to satisfy current liabilities in the succeeding twelve months.  Management’s belief is based on the Company’s operating plans, which in turn is based on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect.  

If the Company’s cash flow from operations is insufficient, the Company may require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern.  The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all.  In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion, repay its debt obligations as they become due or respond to competitive pressures, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. The Company has not made any adjustments to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements which would be necessary should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern.

Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

3.  ACQUISITION OF ARTISAN SPECIALTY FOODS, INC.

On May 18, 2012, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Artisan Specialty Foods, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“Artisan”), from its owner, Mr. David Vohaska.  The purchase price was $1.2 million, with up to another $300,000  (with a fair value of $131,000 ) payable in the event certain financial milestones are met over the next one or two years.  The purchase price was primarily financed via a loan from Alpha Capital Aktiengesselschaft (see note 10) in the principal amount of $1,200,000.  Prior to the acquisition, Artisan was a vendor and had sold products to the Company.
  
The total purchase price was allocated to Artisan’s net tangible assets, with the residual allocated to intangible assets:

Conversion Options Embedded in Convertible Notes

The Company accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible notes in accordance with FASB ASC 815-10-05. ASC 815-10-05 generally requires companies to bifurcate conversion options embedded in convertible notes from their host instruments and to account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815-40-05.
 
At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding $2,272,369 and $1,109,482 in principal, respectively, of various convertible notes with embedded conversion options accounted for as free standing derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815-10-05 and ASC 815-40-05. The fair value of these embedded conversion options was $1,284,577 and $1,245,761 at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  The fair value of these embedded conversion options were estimated at September 30, 2012 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:  risk free interest rate of 0.14%; expected dividend yield of 0%; expected option life of 10 years; and volatility of 214.36%. The fair value of these embedded conversion options were estimated at December 31, 2011 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:  risk free interest rate of 0.06%; expected dividend yield of 0%; expected option life of 10 years; and volatility114.30%.   The expected term of 10 years was used for all notes in both periods which have been past due  or have been in default, and accordingly the term of the note is deemed not relevant as a variable for the Black-Scholes calculation.  The Company revalues the conversion options at each reporting period, and charges any change in value to operations. During the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded a gain of $665,802 and a loss of $1,769 respectively, due to the change in value of the conversion option liability.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded a gain of $197,798 and a gain of $264,032, respectively, due to the change in value of the conversion option liability.

When convertible notes payable are satisfied by payment or by conversion to equity, the Company revalues the related conversion option liability at the time of the payment or conversion.  The conversion option liability is then relieved by this amount, which is charged to additional paid-in capital.  During the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, conversion option liabilities in the amounts of $7,004 and $24,102, respectively, were transferred from liability to equity due to the conversion or payment of the related convertible notes payable.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, a conversion option in the amount of $27,050 and $452,992, respectively, was transferred from liability to equity due to the conversion or payment of the related convertible notes payable.

Discounts on notes payable

The Company calculates the fair value of any beneficial conversion features embedded in its convertible notes via the Black-Scholes valuation method. The Company also calculates the fair value of any detachable warrants offered with its convertible notes via the Black-Scholes valuation method.  The instruments are considered discounts to the notes, to the extent the aggregate value of the warrants and conversion features do not exceed the face value of the notes. These discounts are amortized to interest expense via the effective interest method over the term of the notes.  The fair value of these instruments is expensed to interest expense to the extent that the value of these instruments exceeds the face value of the notes.  During the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company calculated discounts on the $1,200,000 note payable to Alpha Capital as follows: (i) a discount in the amount of $263,664 related to the conversion option feature of this note; (ii) a discount in the amount of $572,777 related to the fair value of warrants issued with this note; and (iii) an original issue discount (“OID”) in the amount of $120,000.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, these discounts were amortized to interest expense in the aggregate amount of $5,100 and $6,708, respectively.

Extension of notes payable

The Company accounts for modifications of its notes payable according to the guidance in FASB ASC 470-50-40. Pursuant to ASC 470-50-40, changes to an existing note should be accounted for as an extinguishment of the note with resultant gain or loss if the present value of the cash flows from the new note varies by more than 10% from the present value of the cash flows from the original note.  ASC 470-50-40 provides an exception to this rule for the addition of conversion options accounted for as a derivative liability.

11.  CONTINGENT LIABILITY

Pursuant to the Artisan acquisition, the Company may be obligated to pay up to another $300,000 (with a fair value of $131,000) in the event certain financial milestones are met over the next one or two years (see note 3).

12. INCOME TAXES
 
Deferred income taxes result from the temporary differences arising from the use of accelerated depreciation methods for income tax purposes and the straight-line method for financial statement purposes, and an accumulation of net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes with a valuation allowance against the carryforwards for book purposes. 
 
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Included in deferred tax assets are Federal and State net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3.7 million, which will expire beginning in 2025 through 2029.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Due to significant changes in the Company's ownership, the Company's future use of its existing net operating losses may be limited.

Aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $0 and $0, respectively. Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the Company's closing stock price on the last trading day of the fiscal period, which was $0.24 and $0.40 as of September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and the exercise price multiplied by the number of options outstanding. During the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company charged $0 and $0, respectively, to operations related to recognized stock-based compensation expense for employee stock options.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company charged $186,299  and $0, respectively, to operations related to recognized stock-based compensation expense for employee stock options.

Accounting for warrants and stock options

The Company accounts for the issuance of common stock purchase warrants, stock options, and other freestanding derivative financial instruments in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 815-40-15. Based on the provisions of ASC 815-40-05, the Company classifies, as equity, any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) gives the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contract that (i) require net-cash settlement or (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement in shares (physical or net-share settlement). At September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company had no freestanding derivative financial instruments that require net cash settlement or give the counterparty a choice of net cash settlement or settlement in shares.

The fair value of these warrants and stock options is determined utilizing the Black-Scholes valuation model. Through August 2005, these warrants were accounted for by the equity method, whereby the fair value of the warrants was charged to additional paid-in capital. During September, 2005, the number of shares of the Company's common stock issued and issuable exceeded the number of shares of common stock the Company had authorized. As the Company no longer had sufficient shares authorized to settle all of our outstanding contracts, this triggered a change in the manner in which the Company accounts for the warrants and stock options. The Company began to account for these warrants and stock options utilizing the liability method. Pursuant to ASC 815-40-15, “If a contract is reclassified from permanent or temporary equity to an asset or a liability, the change in fair value of the contract during the period the contract was classified as equity should be accounted for as an adjustment to stockholders' equity." Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company charged the amount of $10,374,536 to stockholders' equity. At the same time, the Company changed the way in which it accounts for the beneficial conversion feature of convertible notes payable (see note 8).
 
The accounting guidance shows that the warrants and stock options which are a derivative liability should be revalued each reporting period. The recorded value of such warrants and stock options can fluctuate significantly based on fluctuations in the market value of the underlying securities of the issuer of the warrants and stock options, as well as in the volatility of the stock price during the term used for observation and the term remaining for warrants. During the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized a gain of $652,644 and a gain of $64,032, respectively, for the change in the fair value of the warrant liability and recorded the change in operations during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized a gain of $383,467 and a gain of $363,500, respectively, for the change in the fair value of the warrant liability and recorded the change in operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.  During the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized a gain of $111,288 and a gain of $13,087, respectively, for the change in the fair value of the stock option liability and recorded these amounts in operations during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized a gain of $39,937 and a gain of $77,660, respectively, for the change in the fair value of the stock option liability and recorded these amounts in operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Our short-term financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and other liabilities, consist primarily of instruments without extended maturities, the fair value of which, based on management’s estimates, reasonably approximate their book value.   The fair value of the Company’s stock option, convertible debt features and warrant instruments is determined using option pricing models.
 
As a result of the adoption of ASC 815-40, the Company is required to disclose the fair value measurements required by ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”  The other liabilities recorded at fair value in the balance sheet as of September 30, 2012 are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value.  Hierarchical levels, defined by ASC 820 are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuations of these liabilities are as follows:
 
Level 1 —
Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;
   
Level 2 — 
Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
   
Level 3 — 
Unobservable inputs, for which little or no market data exist, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto, as well as all other related notes, and financial and operational references, appearing elsewhere in this document.
 
Certain information contained in this discussion and elsewhere in this report may include "forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is subject to the safe harbor created by that act. The safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act will not apply to certain  "forward looking statements” because we issued "penny stock" (as defined in Section 3(a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 3(a)(51-1) under the Exchange Act) during the three year period preceding the date(s) on which those forward looking statements were first made, except to the extent otherwise specifically provided by rule, regulation or order of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We caution readers that certain important factors may affect our actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements which may be deemed to have been made in this Report or which are otherwise made by or on behalf of us.  For this purpose, any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may",  "will", "expect", "believe",  "explore",  "consider",  "anticipate",  "intend", "could", "estimate",  "plan", "propose" or "continue" or the negative variations of those words or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Factors that may affect our results include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties associated with:
 
 Our ability to raise capital necessary to sustain our anticipated operations and implement our business plan,
   
 Our ability to implement our business plan,
 
 Our ability to generate sufficient cash to pay our lenders and other creditors,
 
 Our ability to employ and retain qualified management and employees,
 
 Our dependence on the efforts and abilities of our current employees and executive officers,
 
 Changes in government regulations that are applicable to our current  or anticipated business,
 
 Changes in the demand for our services,
 
 The degree and nature of our competition,
 
 The lack of diversification of our business plan,
 
 The general volatility of the capital markets and the establishment of a market for our shares, and
 
Disruption in the economic and financial conditions primarily from the impact of past terrorist attacks in the United States, threats of future attacks, police and military activities overseas and other disruptive worldwide political and economic events and weather conditions.
 
We are also subject to other risks detailed from time to time in our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings and elsewhere in this report. Any one or more of these uncertainties, risks and other influences could materially affect our results of operations and whether forward-looking statements made by us ultimately prove to be accurate.  Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements.  We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether from new information, future events or otherwise.

Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates include certain assumptions related to doubtful accounts receivable, stock-based services, valuation of financial instruments, and income taxes. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and concentration of credit risk. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe our estimates have not been materially inaccurate in past years, and our assumptions are not likely to change in the foreseeable future. 

On August 25, 2005, the Company entered into contracts which obligated the company under certain circumstances to issue shares of common stock in excess of the number of shares of common stock authorized. Under accounting guidance provided by FASB ASC 815-40-05, effective August 25, 2005 the Company began to account for all derivative financial instruments, including warrants, conversion features embedded in notes payable, and stock options, via the liability method of accounting. Accordingly, all these instruments are valued at issuance utilizing the Black-Scholes valuation method, and are re-valued at each period ending date, also using the Black-Scholes valuation method.  Any gain or loss from revaluation is charged to operations during the period.

(a) Warrants:

The Company values warrants using the Black-Scholes valuation model.  Warrants are valued upon issuance, and re-valued at each financial statement reporting date.  Any change in value is charged to income or expense during the period.  The following table illustrates certain key information regarding our warrants and warrant valuation assumptions at September 30, 2012 and 2011:

Background
 
We were initially formed in June 1979 as Alpha Solarco Inc., a Colorado corporation. From June 1979 through February 2003, we were either inactive or involved in discontinued business ventures. In February 2003 we changed our name to Fiber Application Systems Technology, Ltd.
 
In January 2004, we changed our state of incorporation by merging into Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. (“IVFH”), a Florida shell corporation. As a result of the merger we changed our name to that of Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. In February 2004 we also acquired Food Innovations, Inc. (“FII”) a Delaware corporation incorporated on January 9, 2002 and through FII and our other subsidiaries we are in the business of national food distribution and sales using third-party shippers. 
 
 
26


On May 18, 2012, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Artisan Specialty Foods, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“Artisan”), from its owner, Mr. David Vohaska.  The purchase price was $1.2 million, with up to another $300,000 (with a fair value of $131,000) payable in the event certain financial milestones are met over the next one or two years.  The purchase price was primarily financed via a loan from Alpha Capital in the principal amount of $1,200,000.  Prior to the acquisition, Artisan was a vendor and had sold products to the Company.

Transactions With a Major Customer
 
Transactions with a major customer and related economic dependence information is set forth (1) following our discussion of Liquidity and Capital Resources, (2) Concentrations of Credit Risk in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and (3) as the fourth item under Risk Factors.

Relationship with U.S. Foods
 
In February 2010, one of our subsidiaries, Food Innovations, signed a new contract with U.S. Foods (“USF”).  This current contract with USF expires on December 31, 2012.  The contract automatically renews for an additional 12-month term unless either party notifies the other in writing 30 days prior to the end date of its intent not to renew. We believe that although a significant portion of our sales occurs through the USF sales force, the success of the program is less contingent on a contract then on the actual performance and quality of our products. Other than our business arrangements with USF, we are not affiliated with either USF or its subsidiary, Next Day Gourmet, L.P. (“Next Day Gourmet”). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, sales to USF accounted for 65.4% and 76.4% of total sales, respectively; during three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, sales to USF accounted for 94.0% and 93.5% of total sales, respectively.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is a discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

This discussion may contain forward looking-statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our future results could differ materially from the forward looking-statements discussed in this report. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere in the report.
 
Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2011

Revenue

Revenue increased by $2,238,214 or approximately 77% to $5,130,418 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $2,892,204 in the prior three months ended September 30, 2011.  The increase was attributable both to the acquisition of Artisan $1,497,286, as well as to  increases  in sales in existing parts of our business $740,928.  The areas of increased sales included specialty items, produce, meat and game, cheese and seafood, and with a smaller increase in poultry products.  We continue to assess the potential of new revenue sources from the manufacture and sale of proprietary food products and additional sales channel opportunities and will implement that strategy if, based on our analysis, we deem it beneficial to us. 
 
Any changes in the food distribution operating landscape that materially hinders our current ability and/or cost to deliver our products to our customers could potentially cause a material impact on our net revenue and gross margin and, therefore, our profitability and cash flows could be adversely affected.
 
Currently, a small portion of our revenues comes from imported products or international sales. Our current sales from such segments may be hampered and negatively impacted by any economic tariffs that may be imposed in the United States or in foreign countries.

See "Transactions with Major Customers" and the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") mandated FR-60 disclosures following the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section for a further discussion of the significant customer concentrations, loss of significant customer, critical accounting policies and estimates, and other factors that could affect future results.
 
Cost of goods sold
 
Our cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $3,872,444, an increase of $1,467,556 or approximately 61% compared to cost of goods sold of $2,404,888 for the three month ended September 30, 2011.  The increase was due primarily to a corresponding growth in sales.  Cost of goods sold is primarily made up of the following expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012: cost of good of specialty, meat, game, cheese poultry and other sales categories in the amount of $3,063,734; and shipping expenses in the amount of $817,479.  The cost of goods sold increase is mainly associated with an increase in sales. 
 
 
27


In 2012, we continued to aggressively price our products in order to gain market share and increase the number of our end users. We were successful in doing so and increased the number of our end users for the quarter by approximately 25% to more than 12,000 end users for the third quarter compared to the third quarter of 2011. We currently expect, if market conditions remain constant, that our cost of goods sold will stabilize and likely improve compared to the first 9 months of 2012.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses
 
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $334,437 or approximately 58%, to $908,235 during the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $573,798 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was due primarily to the costs associated with the acquisition of Artisan and additional operational, selling, general, and administrative expenses related to the operations of Artisan. Selling, general and administrative expenses were primarily made up of the following for the three months ended September 30, 2012: payroll and related expenses, including employee benefits, in the amount of $590,319; consulting and professional fees in the amount of $73,350; insurance costs in the amount of $67,112; facilities and related expenses in the amount of $61,632; office expense in the amount of $43,828; travel and entertainment expenses in the amount of $30,410; computer support expenses in the amount of $27,046; vehicle expense of $19,804; amortization and depreciation expense of $54,728; commissions expense in the amount of $15,931; advertising expenses in the amount of $4,028; credit card expense of $3,064; and credit of options, including the fair value of options issued and the change in fair value of the option liability in the amount of $111,288. We expect our legal fees to slightly increase in 2012 and our accounting fees in 2012 to remain constant.  We do however expect to increase our spending on advertising and marketing and web development fees in 2012. 
 
Interest expense

Interest expense decreased by $50,145, or approximately 43%, from $117,427 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 to $67,282 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Interest expense decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011 as the result of the settlement of notes payable that occurred in the year ended December 31, 2011.  Interest expense is expected to increase due to an increase in notes payable, and the amortization of the discount on notes payable.
 
Loss from change in fair value of warrant liability
 
At September 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,964,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Company revalued this warrant liability at September 30, 2012 at $1,532,424. This revaluation resulted in a gain of $652,644 which the Company credited to operations during the three months ended September 30, 2012.  This is an increase of $588,612 or approximately 919% compared to a gain of $64,032 from the revaluation of the warrant liability which the Company recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2011.
 
Gain and loss from change in fair value of conversion option liability
 
At September 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding a liability to issue an aggregate of 5,539,260 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to convertible notes payable.  The Company revalued this liability at September 30, 2012 at $1,284,577.  This revaluation resulted in a gain of $665,802, which the Company included in operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012.  This is an increase of $667,571 or approximately 37,737% compared to a loss of $1,769 from the revaluation of the conversion option liability which the Company recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2011.
 
Net Income (loss)

For the reasons above, the Company had a net income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 of $1,600,903, an increase of $1,742,549 compared to a net loss of $141,646 during the three months ended September 30, 2011. 

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011

Revenue

Revenue increased by $4,628,586 or approximately 57% to $12,768,596 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from $8,140,010 in the prior nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was due both to the acquisition of Artisan and to increases in sales from our existing parts of our business. There were significant increase in sales of specialty items, produce, meat and game, cheese and seafood, and with a smaller increase in poultry products.  We continue to assess the potential of new revenue sources from the manufacture and sale of proprietary food products and additional sales channel opportunities and will implement that strategy if, based on our analysis, we deem it beneficial to us.

Cost of goods sold
 
Our cost of goods sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $9,645,040, an increase of $3,309,302 or approximately 52% compared to cost of goods sold of $6,335,738 for the nine month ended September 30, 2011. The increase was due primarily to a corresponding growth in sales and to a focus on gaining market share in certain of our product lines. Cost of goods sold is primarily made up of the following expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012: cost of good of specialty, meat, game, cheese poultry and other sales categories in the amount of $6,959,983; and shipping expenses in the amount of $2,186,124.   The gross margin increased  in 2012 as compared to 2011 due to the acquisition of Artisan Specialty Foods partially offset by the company’s strategy of pursuing market share in certain product lines.
 
In 2012, we continued to aggressively price our products in order to gain market share and increase the number of our end users. We were successful in doing so and increased the number of our end users for the nine months ending September 30, 2012 by approximately 6% to more than 22,000 versus the nine months ending September 30, 2011. We currently expect if market conditions remain constant that our cost of goods sold will stabilize and likely improve compared to the first half of 2012.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses
 
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $1,187,527 or approximately 79%, to $2,690,044 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $1,502,517 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was due primarily to the costs associated with the acquisition of Artisan and additional operational selling, general, and administrative expenses related to the operations of Artisan  Selling, general and administrative expenses were primarily made up of the following for the nine months ended September 30, 2012: payroll and related expenses, including employee benefits, in the amount of $1,395,740; consulting and professional fees in the amount of $343,374; options expense,  including the fair value of options issued and the change in fair value of the option liability in the amount of $146,361; insurance costs in the amount of $135,458; facilities and related expenses in the amount of $135,458; office expense in the amount of $84,168; computer support expenses in the amount of $83,421; travel and entertainment expenses in the amount of $77,231; commissions expense in the amount of $56,349; vehicle expense of $27,947; amortization and depreciation expense of $69,313; credit card expense of $17,739; settlement expense of $7,302; and advertising expenses in the amount of $42,072.  We expect our legal fees to slightly increase in 2012 and our accounting fees in 2012 to remain constant.  We do however expect to increase our spending on advertising and marketing and web development fees in 2012.

For the reasons above, the Company had net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 of $6,644, a decrease of $584,442 compared to a net income of $591,086 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of September 30, 2012, the Company had current assets of $2,098,004 consisting of cash of $716,200, trade accounts receivable of $865,018, inventory of $503,033, and other current assets of $13,753.  Also at September 30, 2012, the Company had current liabilities of  $5,578,994, consisting of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,174,070 (of which $75,280 is payable to a related party); accrued interest of $696,947; accrued interest – related parties of $37,234; current portion of notes payable, net of discounts of $283,698; current portion of notes payable – related parties, net of discounts of $130,500; warrant liability of $1,532,424; option liability of $308,544; conversion option liability of $1,284,577; and contingent liability of $131,000.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company had cash provided by operating activities of $48,699.  This consisted of the Company’s net income of $6,644, offset by charges to operations $69,313 for depreciation and amortization, $6,408 for the amortization of the discount on notes payable, $62,085 for the amortization of the discount on accrued convertible interest, $13,551 for the interest capitalized on a note payable, $7,302 for the issuance of shares for a settlement, $186,299 for the fair value of options issued to officers and directors, $842,100 for the cost of extending the term of certain warrants outstanding, $383,467 gain for the revaluation of the warrant liability, $39,937 gain for the revaluation of the conversion option liability, and $197,798 gain for the revaluation of the option liability.  The Company’s results also reflect an increase in working capital deficiency of $523,801.
 
The Company had cash provided by  financing activities of $1,022,389 in 2012, which consisted primarily of proceeds from issuance of a note payable in the amount $1,080,000, offset by principal payments on debt of $57,611.    
 
Historically, our primary cash requirements have been used to fund the cost of operations, with additional funds having been used in promotion and advertising and in connection with the exploration of new business lines.
 
The Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $3,480,990  as of September 30, 2012.  By adjusting its operation and development to the level of available resources, management believes it has sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow through the next twelve months. The Company also intends to focus on increasing market share and cash flow from operations by focusing its sales activities on specific market segments and new product lines as well as the completion of the integration of IT and systems at Artisan. However, if thereafter, the Company is not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.  Currently, we do not have any material long-term obligations other than those described in Note 10 to the financial statements included in this report. As we seek to increase our sales of perishables, as well as identify new and other consumer oriented products and services, we may use existing cash reserves, long-term financing, or other means to finance such diversification.

If the Company’s cash flow from operations is insufficient, the Company may require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern.  The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. The Company expects that any sale of additional equity securities or convertible debt will result in additional dilution to our stockholders.

In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion, repay its debt obligations as they become due or respond to competitive pressures, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. The Company has not made any adjustments to the financial statements which would be necessary should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern.
 
The independent auditors’ reports on our December 31, 2011 and 2010 financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the two years then ended states that our working capital deficiency raises substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
 
Inflation
 
In the opinion of management, inflation has not had a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of its operations.
 
RISK FACTORS

The Company’s business and success is subject to numerous risk factors as detailed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 which is available at no cost at www.sec.gov.
