1. | Description of Business |
Amish Naturals, Inc., (the Company) was incorporated in Nevada on September 2, 2005, and commenced operations in January 2006. |
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Principles of Consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Amish Naturals, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant transactions among the consolidated entities have been eliminated upon consolidation. |
Definition of Fiscal Year |
We report our results of operations on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday in September. Each fiscal three month period contains thirteen weeks. |
Basis of Presentation |
These consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. |
Use of Estimates |
Preparing the Companys consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
6
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued |
Use of Estimates, Continued |
The consolidated financial statements include some amounts that are based on managements best estimates and judgments. The most significant estimates are the determination of the useful lives of property and equipment, the valuation of the discount on the convertible note payable and the determination of the valuation reserve of the United States income tax assets. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment could be significant. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires management to disclose the estimated fair value of certain assets and liabilities defined by SFAS No. 107 as financial instruments. Financial instruments are generally defined by SFAS No. 107 as cash and cash equivalents, evidence of ownership interest in equity, or a contractual obligation that both conveys to one entity a right to receive cash or other financial instruments from another entity and imposes on the other entity the obligation to deliver cash or other financial instruments to the first entity. |
At March 30, 2008, the Companys financial instruments are cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable-trade, accounts payable-trade, accrued liabilities, note payable and a convertible note payable. The recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable-trade, accounts payable-trade, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The recorded value of the convertible note payable before discount approximates the fair value as interest approximates market rates. |
Cash |
The Company considers deposits that can be redeemed on demand and investments that have original maturities of less than three months, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. As of March 30, 2008, the Companys cash and cash equivalents were deposited primarily in one financial institution. |
At March 30, 2008, the Company had $1,756,027 on deposit that exceeded the United States (FDIC) federally insurance limit. |

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued |
Inventories |
The Company uses the lower of cost (determined using the first-in, first-out method) or market for valuing inventories. Transportation costs are charged to cost of sales when incurred. |
Identifiable Intangible Assets |
Identifiable intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may be impaired. Identifiable intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment using a process similar to that used in evaluating elements of property, plant and equipment. If impaired, the intangible asset is written down to its fair value. Intangible assets at March 30, 2008 consist of customer lists, acquired recipes and trade names acquired in September and October 2007. Amortization expense is recorded over the estimated life of ten years and commenced in October 2007. |
Future amortization of intangible assets is as follows for the years ending December 30: |
2008 | $ | 32,897 | |||
2009 | 32,897 | ||||
2010 | 32,897 | ||||
2011 | 32,897 | ||||
2012 and beyond | $ | 177,988 |
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets |
The Company accounts for its long-lived assets under SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. SFAS No. 144 requires companies to separately report discontinued operations and extends that reporting to a component of an entity that either has been disposed of (by sale, abandonment, or in a distribution to owners) or is classified as held for sale. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. |

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued |
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable-Trade |
Revenue is recognized when title and risk of loss are transferred to customers upon delivery based on terms of sale and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue is recognized as the net amount to be received after deducting estimated amounts for discounts, trade allowances, and returns of damaged and out-of-date products. Collectability is estimated considering the credit conditions of its customers and the payment history of each customer. Accounts receivable-trade that are considered to be uncollectible will be written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. No allowance for doubtful accounts was considered necessary at March 30, 2008. |
Marketing Costs |
The Company incurs various types of marketing costs in order to promote its products, including retailer incentives and consumer incentives. The Company recognizes the cost for each of these types of marketing activities as a reduction of net sales or as selling, general and administrative expense in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. |
Property and Equipment |
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized, and minor replacements, maintenance, and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the Companys accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations for the respective period. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company uses other depreciation methods (generally accelerated) for tax purposes where appropriate. The estimated useful lives for significant property and equipment categories are as follows: |
Vehicles | 3 years | ||||
Office equipment | 3 to 5 years | ||||
Machinery and equipment | 5 to 15 years | ||||
Buildings and improvements | 20 years |
Property and equipment were placed in service on March 1, 2007, and therefore began recording depreciation on that date. |

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued |
Share Based Payment |
The Company accounts for employee stock-based payments using the fair value method provided in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, Share-Based Payment. The fair value of options granted will be recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the options. |
The Company accounts for non-employee stock-based payments using the fair value method provided by SFAS No. 123R. When stock options are granted to non-employees, the Company will estimate the fair value of the award and recognize related expenses over the performance period as prescribed by EITF 96-18: Accounting for Equity Instrumentsthat are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services. No share based payments have been granted at March 30, 2008. |
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share |
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed in the same way as basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would be outstanding if all potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. As of March 30, 2008, the Company had outstanding stock options that can be converted into 4,790,000 shares of common stock, warrants to purchase 13,889,322 shares of common stock, and a note payable that can be converted into 8,412,220 shares of common stock. As the Company has recorded a loss in each period since it commenced operations, the options, warrants and conversion feature would have an anti-dilutive effect, and therefore, are not included in diluted loss per share. |
Income Tax |
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. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted 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 of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. |
10
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued |
Income Tax, Continued |
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when in the opinion of management it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Realization of the deferred income tax asset is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in future years. |
The Company has recorded a 100% valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets due to uncertainty of their ultimate realization. |
Advertising Costs |
Advertising costs will be expensed when they are incurred. Advertising expense totaled $5,770 and $6,220 for the three-month periods ended March 30, 2008 and December 31, 2006, respectively. There were no advertising costs in the comparable periods in the prior year. |
Product Development |
The Companys product development activities principally involve product name selection, product shape determination, artistic design of the product packaging, arrangement for the related manufacturing extrusion tools and dies, selection of seasonings, grains and other ingredients considered as recipe development, taste and market testing. The costs of these activities are expensed as incurred. |
Contingencies |
Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Companys management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the |
Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Companys legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. |
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would |
11
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued |
Comprehensive Income or Loss |
be accrued in the Companys financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed. |
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. |
The Company has no items of other comprehensive income or loss in the three month period ended March 30, 2008 and December 31, 2006. Therefore, net loss as presented in the Companys Consolidated Statement of Operations equals the comprehensive loss. |
New Accounting Pronouncements |
In June 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 requires recognition of tax benefits that satisfy a greater than 50% probability threshold. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008 (Note 10). The Company believes that adoption of FIN 48 will not have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |
In September 2006 the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This Statement does not require any new fair value measurements. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |
12
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued |
New Accounting Pronouncements, Continued |
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Misstatements Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108), to address diversity in practice in quantifying financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 requires that the Company quantify misstatements based on their impact on each of the Companys consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company adopted SAB 108 effective as of January 1, 2007. The adoption of SAB 108 did not impact the Companys financial statements. |
In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations. Under SFAS 141R, the acquiring entity is required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. |
Statement 141R will change the accounting treatment for certain specific items, including: Noncontrolling interests (formerly known as minority interests see SFAS 160 discussion below) are valued at fair value as of the acquisition date; Acquired contingent liabilities will be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date and subsequently measured at either the higher of such amount or the amount determined under existing guidance for non-acquired contingencies; In-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date. |
3. | Inventories |
The inventories as of March 30, 2008 are as follows: |
Raw materials and packaging | $ | 321,925 | |||
Finished goods | 655,383 | ||||

5. | Long Term Debt |
Convertible Note Payable |
In September 2007, the Company entered into a convertible note payable with principal balance of $6 million. The note bears interest at 9.25% per annum and is due September 10, 2010. Interest is payable in arrears quarterly in shares of the companys common stock with the first interest date being October 1, 2007. The note is convertible into 6,626,506 shares of the Companys common stock at any time. In March 2008, $500,000 of the principal was converted into 685,682 shares of common stock. As part of the transaction, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,389,322 shares of the Companys common stock at exercise prices ranging from $1.88 to $3.00 per share. The warrants may be exercised at any time and expire on September 10, 2014. As a result of the convertible note transaction in February 2008, the exercise price of these warrants was reduced to $1.11 per share. The Company has pledged all of its assets as collateral on this note and is precluded from declaring dividends until the note is repaid. The Company may repay without penalty up to one third of the principal balance of the note on each anniversary date. The Company incurred a placement fee and incurred legal and other costs totaling $530,000 related to this loan. |
The Company is required to achieve certain financial milestones during the term on this note. The Company did not achieve the milestone requirements for the period ended December 30, 2007 and therefore the conversion price of this note was changed to $0.83 per share on February 24, 2008. |
14
5. | Long Term Debt, Continued |
The values of the imbedded conversion feature of the note and the warrants together with the costs associated with the loan have been recorded as a discount on the note and is being accreted as interest expense over the life of the note. |
Convertible Note Payable |
In February 2008, the Company entered into second convertible note with $4,218,750 due at maturity. The note bears interest at 10%, which was prepaid, is convertible into shares of the Companys common stock at $1.75 per share and is due in two years. In connection with this note, the Company issued warrants to purchase 5 million shares of its common stock with an exercise price of $1.10 per share and warrants to purchase 2.5 million shares with an exercise price of $0.001 per share. The warrants have a life of 9 years. |

6. | Contingencies, Risks, Uncertainties, Managements Plan and Concentrations |
Financial Results, Liquidity and Managements Plan |
At March 30, 2008, the Company has incurred losses for the three and six-month periods ended March 30, 2008 and March 31, 2007 of $2,789,415, $4,947,065, $777,205 and $1,464,732, respectively. Despite its negative cash flows from operations of $3,262,963 and $1,250,408 for the six-month periods ended March 30, 2008 and March 31, 2007, respectively, the Company has been able to obtain operating capital through private equity and debt funding sources. Managements plans include the continued development and eventual implementation of its business plan. The Company has relied upon equity and debt funding since inception. |
16
6. | Contingencies, Risks, Uncertainties, Managements Plan and Concentrations, Continued |
Financial Results, Liquidity and Managements Plan, Continued |
No assurances can be given that the Company can obtain sufficient working capital through the sale of the Companys common stock and borrowing or that the continued implementation of its business plan will generate sufficient revenues in the future to sustain ongoing operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. |
Operating Leases |
The Company leases the property on which its facilities are located. The lease is for 5 years with a 5 year renewal option and annual evergreen renewals thereafter. The Company has the option to purchase the property for $280,000. The lease was entered into by the shareholders of the Company and was assigned to the Company in October 2006. Future minimum lease payments are as follows at March 30, 2008: |
2009 | $ | 16,200 | |||
2010 | 16,200 | ||||
2011 | 16,200 | ||||
2012 | 16,200 | ||||
2013 and after | 1,350 | ||||
Total minimum lease payments | $ | 66,150 | |||
Concentration of Suppliers |
The Company purchases its raw materials from producers of organic produce and grains. There is a regionally limited supply of these products. If the Company is unable to obtain these products from the supplier, the Company believes that the impact on its consolidated financial statements from such an uncertainty could be substantial. |
Litigation |
The Company, on an ongoing basis, will be subject to various claims and legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. Management believes that any liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. |

In February 2007, the Company sold in a private placement 664,745 shares of its common stock for cash at $2.10 per share to 26 investors. The net proceeds of this placement were $1,395,965. |
In November 2007, the Company issued 50,000 shares of its common stock upon exercise of stock options at $1.00 per share. |
Issuance of Common Stock |
In February 2008 the Company issued 193,818 shares of its common stock in payment of interest accrued on its convertible note in the amount of $169,583. |

Exercise of Warrants |
In December 2006, the Company issued 388,889 shares of its common stock upon exercise of warrants at a price of $0.90 per share. The net proceeds of this exercise were $350,000. |

8. | Share-Based Payment |
The Company has granted options to purchase 4,790,000 shares of its common stock to officers, directors, employees and consultants. The exercise price of these options range from $1.00 per share to $2.30 per share, which equaled the market price on the effective dates of grant. The options vest at various rates over periods ranging from one to four years after the effective date of the grant, and have a life of 5 years. |
The weighted average estimated fair value of the stock options granted during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2007 was $1.76 per share and $0.65 per share, respectively. The amount was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which values options based on the stock price at the grant date, the expected life of the option, the estimated volatility of the stock, the expected dividend payments, and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the option. |
The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the stock options granted during the six-month period ended March 30, 2008 and March 31, 2007 were as follows: |
For the Six-Month Period Ended March 30, 2008 |

9. | Earnings Per Share |
In accordance with FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share, the Company calculates basic and diluted net loss per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented and adjust the amount of net loss, used in this calculation, for preferred stock dividends declared during the period. |
The Company incurred a net loss in each period presented, and as such, did not include the effect of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents in the diluted net loss per share calculation, as their effect would be anti-dilutive for all periods. Potentially dilutive common stock equivalents would include the common stock issuable upon the conversion of the convertible note payable and the exercise of warrants and stock options that have conversion or exercise prices below the market value of the Companys common stock at the measurement date. As of March 30, 2008, all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents amounted to 27,091,542 shares. |
The following table illustrates the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share: |

10. | Business Combinations |
In October 2007, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of two entities; Prima Pasta, Inc. and Schlabach Amish Wholesale Bakery, LLC. The combined purchase prices of the assets of the two entities was $750,000 and consisted of cash and the repayment of an existing note receivable. The assets acquired consisted of inventory, equipment, customer lists, trade names and other intellectual properties. |
The Company allocated the purchase price of the assets acquired as follows: |
Land and building | $ | 50,000 | |||
Inventory | 50,000 | ||||
Equipment | 350,000 | ||||
Intangible assets | 300,000 | ||||
Total | $ | 750,000 | |||
The combined revenue of the two entities was approximately $350,000 during their last fiscal years and each recorded a small profit or loss. |
The acquisition of Prima Pasta, Inc. provides the Company with additional equipment and a second brand name that has shelf space and existing customers. The Company believes that the additional brand will enhance its market presence and the equipment will provide additional productive capacity. |
The acquisition of Schlabach Amish Wholesale Bakery, LLC provides the Company with a complimentary line of products. |

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. Certain statements in this discussion and elsewhere in this report constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. See Forward Looking Statements elsewhere in this report. Because this discussion involves risk and uncertainties, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
Amish Naturals, Inc. commenced sales of its products, and therefore is no longer considered to be a development stage enterprise. During the period from January 1, 2006 (commencement of operations) to March 30, 2008, Amish Naturals raised capital in the form of short-term notes payable, the sale of shares of our common stock, the exercise of warrants to purchase shares of our common stock, and through the issuance of two long term convertible debt instruments. The proceeds of the notes payable were used to acquire a production facility site and the equipment that management believes is necessary for Amish Naturals to commence operations. The proceeds of the sale of shares of our common stock were used to retire one of the short-term notes payable and acquire additional production equipment. The proceeds from the exercise of warrants were used for working capital. The proceeds from the long term convertible debt were used to retire short term debt and for working capital, expansion of distribution and production facilities and product development. We produce a line of natural organic, kosher pasta products and related items that are sold through food product distributors.
On October 27, 2006 we completed a merger with FII, Inc. As the now-former stockholders of the former private company hold the majority of our outstanding common stock after the merger, the transaction has been accounted for as a reverse merger and the financial statements are those of the former private company. In connection with the merger, we raised $2,628,022 through the sale of 2.9 million equity units. Each unit includes one share of our common stock and a warrant to purchase ½ share of our common stock. Each unit sold for $.90. Neither the shares nor the warrants have any registration rights. We used a portion of the proceeds of this private placement to repay the note payable in full and to redeem shares of FII held by the former majority stockholder of FII. During the year ended September 30, 2007 all of the warrants were exercised with net proceeds of $1,301,814. In February 2007, we raised $1,395,965 through the sale of 664,745 shares of our common stock and obtained $300,000 from a short-term note payable. In July and August 2007 we obtained an additional $600,000 from short term notes payable. In September 2007 we closed on the sale of a senior secured convertible note in the principal amount of $6,000,000. The $900,000 of short term notes payable were repaid with a portion of the proceeds of the convertible note payable. In February 2008 we closed on the sale of a senior secured convertible note in the principal amount of $3,125,000. The proceeds of this financing were used for working capital.
In March 2007, we commenced producing product for sale. During the three and six month periods ended March 30, 2008, we shipped products with total gross sales price of $507,523 and $712,695, respectively. At March 30, 2008 we had inventories of finished goods and raw materials with total cost of $995,231.
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Although we have started to realize revenues from our operations, we cannot guarantee we will be successful in our core business, or in any business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources.
Results of Operations for the three and six month periods ended March 30, 2008 and 2007
During the three and six month periods ended March 30, 2008, we had a loss of $2,789,415 and $4,947,065, respectively. Our loss during the same periods in the prior year were $777,205 and $1,464,732, respectively. Our expenses relate to the development of a sales and marketing plan, product development activities, commercial production of inventory, costs associated with implementation of the infrastructure necessary to support our operations as they mature, initial sales and marketing activities and stock option expenses, as detailed below. In addition, we incurred legal and accounting fees related to our reverse merger transaction with FII in October 2006. During the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2007 our operations were limited to the acquisition and installation of certain of our equipment and introducing our products to distributors and retail organizations. We commenced sales of our products in May 2007.
Our Board of Directors authorized the grant of options to purchase 4,790,000 shares of our common stock to officers, directors, employees, and consultants. The exercise price of these options ranged from $1.00 per share to $3.09 per share and vest at various times over four years. We determined the value of these options using the Black Scholes Merton option valuation model to be $3,391,830. We are amortizing this amount over the vesting period of each option. We charged $394,854 and $706,885 to expense during the three and six month periods ended March 30, 2008 respectively and we recorded $136,092 and $226,819 Theses amounts and the cash discounts and fees we paid total $8,261,771. We recorded this amount as a discount against the notes payable and accrete this balance to interest expense over the two and three year lives of the notes.
23
We commenced sales of our products in May, 2007 and recorded gross sales of our products totaling $507,523 and $712,695 during the three and six month periods ended March 30, 2008. We incur slotting fees with certain customers when we commence sales to them. We record these amounts as a reduction of gross sales when they are paid. We expect to continue to incur slotting fees in the future and therefore net sales will be substantially less than gross sales.
Marketing expenses increased from $151,627 during the three and six month periods in 2007 to $207,255 and $399,227 during the same periods in 2008. This increase is consistent with our increasing sales, and we expect these expenses to continue to increase as our sales increase.
General and administrative expenses increased $610,209 and $1,328,320 to $1,064,989 and $2,004,826 for the three and six month periods in 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. The following describes the increases in these costs during the three and six month period in 2008 compared to the same period in 2007:
Administrative salary and related costs increased $255,753and $178,891 as a result of the increase in the number of employees required by our increasing activities and the employment of our Chief Operating Officer in late December 2006. Employee insurance costs increased $31,221 and $77,578 during the three and six month periods in the current year.
We started recording depreciation and amortization expenses in March 2007. These costs were $208,951 and $91,497 in the three and six month periods in 2008.
Travel and lodging costs increased $15,701 and $71,609 as we increased our efforts to implement our business plan.
We incurred moving expenses of $34,142 in 2007 related to the relocation of our administrative and shipping activities to a new location.
The balance of the increase relates to general office expenses as a result of our increase in administrative activities.
Product development costs increased in the three month period in 2008 compared to 2007 as we commence development of our line of penne pasta.
Professional fees were increased in 2008 as a result of fees associated with the filing of our registration statement in 2008 and our application for patent.
Stock based charges increased as a result of the increase in the number of options that we have granted to employees.
The increase in interest expense resulted from the accretion of the debt discount on our convertible notes entered into in September 2007 and February 2008.
In October 2007 we acquired substantially all of the assets of two entities: Prima Pasta, Inc. and Schlabach Amish Wholesale Bakery, LLC. The combined purchase prices of the assets of the two entities was $750,000 and consisted of cash and the repayment of an existing note receivable. The assets acquired consisted of inventory, equipment, customer lists, trade names and other intellectual property.
We allocated the purchase price of the assets acquired as follows:
Land and Building | $ | 50,000 | |||
Inventory | 50,000 | ||||
Equipment | 350,000 | ||||
Intangible assets | 300,000 | ||||
Total | $ | 750,000 | |||
24
The combined revenue of the two entities approximated $350,000 during their last fiscal years and each recorded a small profit or loss.
The acquisition of Prima Pasta, Inc. provides us with additional equipment and a second brand name that has shelf space and existing customers. We believe that the additional brand will enhance Amishs market presence and the equipment will provide additional productive capacity.
The acquisition of Schlabach Amish Wholesale Bakery, LLC provides us with a complementary line of products.
At March 30, 2008, our total assets were $6,570,380, which included cash balances of $1,856,027. Our total liabilities were $3,111,072, which is net of discount on our convertible notes payable of $7,246,861. Our working capital was $2,734,362 at March 30, 2008.
Despite our negative cash flows from operations of $3,262,963 and $4,020,197 for the six month period ended March 30, 2008 and the year ended September 30, 2007, we have been able to obtain operating capital through private debt funding sources, the sale of shares of our common stock and the exercise of warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. In September 2007 we closed on the sale of a senior secured convertible note in the principal amount of $6,000,000. We received approximately $5,470,000 of net proceeds of which $900,000 was used to repay debt. In February 2008 we closed on a senior secured convertible with face amount of $3,125,000. Our net proceeds from this financing was $2,100,000.
We are required to achieve certain financial milestones during the term on this note. We did not achieve the milestone requirements for the period ended December 30, 2007 and therefore the conversion price of this note was changed to $0.83 per share.
The terms of the warrants issued in connection with the $6 million convertible note will have their exercise price adjusted to the exercise price of the warrants issued in connection with the new financing.
As of the date of this report, we have begun to generate revenues from our business operations. However, revenues that we are realizing are not sufficient to sustain our operations.
Since inception, we have funded our operations from the proceeds of short-term borrowings, some of which were repaid in October 2006 from the proceeds of private placements of common stock, and the sale of common stock and warrants. Although we expect that, during the next 12 months, our operating capital needs will be met by our current economic resources and, if required, by additional private capital stock transactions, there can be no assurance that funds required will be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise sufficient funds on terms acceptable to us or on a timely basis, we may be unable to continue with our business plan. If equity, or convertible debt, financing is available to us on acceptable terms, it could result in additional dilution to our stockholders.
We have no off balance sheet arrangements at March 30, 2008.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within us have been detected.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
25
There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
In February 2008, the Company issued the Convertible Note and the Warrants in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of $3.125 million. The Note is convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $1.75 per share, which is subject to adjustment. The Series E Warrant is immediately exercisable, expires on the seventh anniversary of its issuance and entitles its holder to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $1.1056 per share. The Series F Warrant is immediately exercisable, expires on the ninth anniversary of its issuance and entitles its holder to purchase up to 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $0.001 per share. The details of these transactions are in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 20, 2008.
The Note, Shares of Common Stock and the Warrants were issued to an institutional accredited investor in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated by the Commission thereunder.
