CHROMADEX CORPORATION
2013 QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q /A
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Explanatory Note
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A of ChromaDex Corporation (the “Company”) for the quarterly period ended March 30, 2013 includes restated condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 30, 2013, condensed consolidated statement of operations and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 30, 2013 and restated notes to such condensed consolidated financial statements. This restatement is to reflect a correction in the manner in which the Company has accounted for the sale of the BluScience assets to NeutriSci International, Inc. (“NeutriSci”). The value of the equity and the senior secured convertible note that the Company received from NeutriSci as part of the purchase price were originally accounted for at their stated values which resulted in the Company recognizing a gain on the sale of the BluScience assets. Due to the inability to make a reliably determinable estimate of the fair value of the NeutriSci equity securities and the ultimate collectability of the note received as consideration, management has determined that the proper accounting for the sale transaction is the cost recovery method. Under the cost recovery method, no gain on the sale will be recognized until the Company’s cost basis in the net assets sold has been recovered. In addition, the Company originally accounted for its investment in NeutriSci under the cost method and the Company has now determined that the equity method should have been used. The restatement of the Company’s previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements to reflect its correction in accounting for the sale of BluScience assets to NeutriSci is referred to herein as the “Restatement.”
For further information regarding the Restatement, see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 21, 2013 (the “Restatement 8-K”), and for detailed financial information with respect to the Restatement, see Note 2 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A.
The following items of the Form 10-Q have been modified or revised in this Form 10-Q/A to reflect the Restatement:
Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements;
Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;
Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures; and
Part II, Item 6. Exhibits
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have provided currently dated certifications pursuant to Section 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in connection with this Amendment on Form 10-Q/A; the certifications are filed as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2 and 31.3.
This amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A sets forth the original Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in its entirety, except as required to reflect the effects of the Restatement. Except for disclosures affected by the Restatement, this amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A speaks as of the original filing date of May 10, 2013 and does not modify or update disclosures in the Form 10-Q, including the nature and character of such disclosures, to reflect events occurring or items discovered after the original filing date of the Form 10-Q.
This amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with the Company’s other filings, as amended, made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to December 29, 2012, including the Restatement 8-K and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2012, as filed with the SEC on March 29, 2013.

Note 1. Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying financial statements of ChromaDex Corporation (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, ChromaDex, Inc., ChromaDex Analytics, Inc. and Spherix Consulting, Inc. include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals, that, in the opinion of the management of the Company, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of March 30, 2013 and results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 29, 2012 appearing in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 29, 2013. Operating results for the three months ended March 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the full year ending on December 28, 2013. The preparation of 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 the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The balance sheet at December 29, 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
Note 2. Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
On November 18, 2013, during the review of the interim financial statements, the Company determined that the previously issued financial statements for the three month period and the six month period ending March 30, 2013 and June 29, 2013, respectively, contained in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q (“ Quarterly Reports”) for the period ended March 30, 2013 (as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 10, 2013) and June 29, 2013 (as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 13, 2013), respectively, should no longer be relied upon because of certain non-cash errors in the Quarterly Reports and that those financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) would be restated to make the necessary accounting adjustments.
The financial statements filed for the three month period ended March 30, 2013 and the six month period ended June 29, 2013 contained a misstatement pertaining to the accounting treatment of the sale of the BluScience assets to NeutriSci International, Inc. (“NeutriSci”) (See Note 4). The value of the equity and the senior secured convertible note that the Company received from NeutriSci as part of the purchase price were originally accounted for at their stated values which resulted in the Company recognizing a gain on the sale of the BluScience assets. Due to the inability to make a reliably determinable estimate of the fair value of the NeutriSci equity securities and the ultimate collectability of the note received as consideration, management has determined that the proper accounting for the sale transaction is the cost recovery method. Under the cost recovery method, no gain on the sale will be recognized until the Company’s cost basis in the net assets sold has been recovered. In addition, the Company originally accounted for its investment in NeutriSci under the cost method where it has now been determined that the equity method should have been used. The Company expects all amendments and restatements to the Financial Statements affected to be non-cash in nature.
The Company has determined that the restatements of its Financial Statements resulted from a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting, specifically related to its process and procedures related to the accounting for sale of assets in exchange for non-cash consideration. More information regarding the Company’s controls and procedures is set forth in Part I, Item 4 of this Form 10-Q/A.
The restatement adjustments to the previously issued financial statements for the three month period ended March 30, 2013 are as follows:

Note 3. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of business: The Company is a natural products company that provides proprietary, science-based solutions and ingredients to the dietary supplement, food and beverage, animal health, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. The Company supplies ingredients, phytochemical reference standards and related phytochemical products and services. On December 3, 2012, the Company acquired Spherix Consulting, Inc. (“Spherix”), which provides scientific and regulatory consulting to the clients in the food, supplement and pharmaceutical industries to manage potential health and regulatory risks. The Company provides these products and services at various terms.
Basis of presentation: The financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared on a consolidated basis and reflect the consolidated financial position of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated from these financial statements. The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31, and the Company’s normal fiscal quarters end on the Saturday 13 weeks after the last fiscal year end or fiscal quarter end. Every fifth or sixth fiscal year, the inclusion of an extra week occurs due to the Company’s floating year-end date. The fiscal year 2014 will include 53 weeks instead of the normal 52 weeks.
Trade accounts receivable: Trade accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on monthly and quarterly reviews of all outstanding amounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. The allowances for doubtful accounts for the periods ended March 30, 2013 and December 29, 2012 were $18,000 and $450,000, respectively. Of the allowance amount of $450,000 for the period ended December 29, 2012, $433,000 represents a hold on the receivables placed by a retailer that carried the Company's BluScience retail consumer line. The hold was placed by the retailer as an offset in the event of future returns of the Company's products and the hold was treated as a reduction of revenue. On March 28, 2013, the Company sold the BluScience retail consumer line to NeutriSci and the related trade accounts receivable including the allowance have been transferred to NeutriSci. Trade accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received.
Inventories: Inventories are comprised of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods. They are stated at the lower of cost, determined by the first-in, first-out method (FIFO) method, or market. The inventory on the balance sheet is recorded net of valuation allowances of $217,000 and $366,000 for the periods ended March 30, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. Labor and overhead has been added to inventory that was manufactured or characterized by the Company. On March 28, 2013, the Company sold the BluScience retail consumer line to NeutriSci and related dietary supplements inventory have been transferred to NeutriSci. The amounts of major classes of inventory as of March 30, 2013 and December 29, 2012 are as follows:

Earnings per share: Potentially dilutive common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of common stock options and warrants for all periods. For the three-month periods ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, the basic and diluted shares reported are equal because the common share equivalents are anti-dilutive due to the net loss. Below is a tabulation of the potentially dilutive securities that were “in the money” for the three- month periods ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012.

Long-term investment in affiliate: The Company accounts for its investment in affiliate under the equity method. The Company records equity method adjustments in gains (losses) on equity method investments, net, and may do so with up to a three-month lag, pending on the timely availability of financial information of the investee. Equity method adjustments include: our proportionate share of investee income or loss, gains or losses resulting from investee capital transactions, and other adjustments required by the equity method. The long-term investment in affiliate is subject to a periodic impairment review and is considered to be impaired when a decline in carrying value is judged to be other-than-temporary. Evidence of a loss in value might include (i) absence of an ability recover the carrying amount of the investment or (ii) inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity that would justify the carrying amount of the investment.
Note 4. Sale of Product Line and Investment in Affiliate
On March 28, 2013, the Company entered into an asset purchase and sale agreement with NeutriSci and consummated the sale of BluScience consumer product line to NeutriSci. The Company is using the cost recovery method to account for the sale transaction , which is estimated at approximately $3,157,804. The consideration received consists of following: (a) a $250,000 cash payment, which NeutriSci paid as a deposit in February 2013; (b) an additional $250,000 cash payment, which was paid at the closing of the sale; (c) an additional cash payment of $500,000 due no later than 60 days after the closing of the sale; (d) a $2,500,000 senior convertible secured note (convertible into 625,000 shares Series I Preferred Stock as described below) payable in quarterly installments of $416,667 beginning August 15, 2013; and (e) 669,708 shares of Series I Preferred Shares that are convertible into 2,678,832 Class “A” common shares of NeutriSci, representing an aggregate of 19% of the NeutriSci shares at a deemed price for each Class A common share of $1.00 per share. The transaction documents contain certain equity blockers that preclude the Company's ownership in NeutriSci in excess of 9.99% and 19% without obtaining a waiver from NeutriSci. The Company will continue to generate revenue through a royalty on 6% of future net sales of BluScience products as well as a supply agreement with NeutriSci for the Company's patented pTeroPure pterostilbene. As of March 30, 2013, the Company did not have any sales to NeutriSci under this supply agreement for pTeroPure pterostilbene.
The Company has applied the equity method of accounting for the 669,708 shares of Series I Preferred Shares that are convertible into 2,678,832 Class “A” common shares of NeutriSci and the carrying value, which includes the senior convertible secured note, is reflected as long-term investment in affiliate in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 30, 2013. The initial carrying value of this investment recognized, as restated, as of March 28, 2013 was $2,157,804, which is the Company’s unrecovered cost or the difference between the net assets transferred to NeutriSci and the initial monetary consideration received. Although, (i) other contemporaneous third party investments in NeutriSci’s Class “A” common shares were $1.00 per share and (ii) the face value of the senior convertible secured note was $2,500,000, management believed that $2,157,804 was the appropriate aggregate carrying value for the investment in affiliate, considering the fact that NeutriSci is a start-up company and has historically recorded significant operating losses. The Company is unable to determine NeutriSci’s likelihood of repaying the note, and because of this significant uncertainty, the amount of collectability of the senior convertible secured note is not ascertainable. There is a significant uncertainty in the realization of value of the Series I Preferred Shares as well. Consequently, management deemed it appropriate to consider that both the 669,708 shares of Series I Preferred Shares and the senior convertible secured note as one long term investment in affiliate. Under the cost recovery method, no gain on the sale will be recognized until the Company’s cost basis in the net assets transferred has been recovered. Prospective collection of payments under the note will be charged against the carrying value of the long-term investment in affiliate. The below table illustrates how the carrying value was determined.

For the three months ended March 30, 2013, the Company did not record equity method adjustments in gains (losses) on the investment in NeutriSci, as the Company has elected to record equity method adjustments with a three-month lag, as the financial information of NeutriSci was not available in a timely manner. When the financial information is available at a later time, the Company will use NeutriSci’s financial statements for the period beginning on April 1, 2013. This will not cover the three-day period from March 28, 2013 to March 30, 2013, which is also a portion of the Company’s investment period since the Company’s investment started from March 28, 2013. However, the Company has determined that the amount of any impact to the Company for the three day period not covered was immaterial as NeutriSci did not have any significant transactions.
The cash payment of $500,000 that is due no later than 60 days after the closing of the sale is reflected as non-trade receivable in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 30, 2013.
The senior secured convertible note is secured by the Security Agreement, dated March 28, 2013 entered into between the Company and NeutriSci whereby NeutriSci granted the Company a security interest in substantially all of NeutriSci’s assets, including inventory, to secure its obligations pursuant to the note. In the event of default, the note can also be convertible into Series I Preferred Shares of NeutriSci at the option of ChromaDex. Each Series I Preferred Share can be convertible into 4 Class A common shares of NeutriSci. The conversion price will be (a) $4.00 per Series I Preferred Share prior to a Public Offering (as defined in the note); or (b) the closing price of Series I Preferred Share or four times the closing price of Class A common share on a stock exchange immediately prior to the conversion date.
Under the asset purchase and sale agreement entered into as of March 28, 2013 with the Company, NeutriSci is obligated to file an initial public offering prospectus with a securities commission in Canada no later than September 24, 2013 (or 180 days from the closing date of March 28, 2013) and to concurrently seek approval of the listing of its common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange or similar stock exchange in Canada.
As of March 30, 2013, the Company has determined that there is no other-than-temporary impairment, as the Company is not aware of any other-than-temporary impairment triggering events or indicators. The Company will continue to monitor NeutriSci’s performance and evaluate if there are any such events or indicators to consider.

Note 6. Employee Share-Based Compensation
Stock Option Plans
At the discretion of the Company’s compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”), and with the approval of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”), the Company may grant options to purchase the Company’s common stock to certain individuals from time to time. Management and the Compensation Committee determine the terms of awards which include the exercise price, vesting conditions and expiration dates at the time of grant. Expiration dates for stock options are not to exceed 10 years from their date of issuance. The Company, under its Second Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, is authorized to issue stock options that total no more than 20% of the shares of common stock issued and outstanding, as determined on a fully diluted basis. Beginning in 2007, stock options were no longer issuable under the Company’s 2000 Non-Qualified Incentive Stock Plan. The remaining amount available for issuance under the Second Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan totaled 6,232,513 at March 30, 2013. The stock option awards generally vest ratably over a four-year period following grant date after a passage of time. However, some stock option awards are performance based and vest based on the achievement of certain criteria established by the Compensation Committee, subject to approval by the Board of Directors.
The fair value of the Company’s stock options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes based option valuation model. The table below outlines the weighted average assumptions for options granted to employees during the three months ended March 30, 2013.

The Company calculated expected volatility from the volatility of publicly held companies in similar industries, as the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock does not cover the period equal to the expected life of the options. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of future dividend payouts on the common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. treasury zero-coupon issues with an equivalent remaining term. The expected term of the options represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on historical experience of awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee behavior. The estimation process for the fair value of performance based stock options was the same as for service period based options.
1) Service Period Based Stock Options
The majority of options granted by the Company are comprised of service based options granted to employees. These options vest ratably over a defined period following grant date after a passage of a service period.

The aggregate intrinsic values in the table above are before income taxes, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $0.71 on the last day of business for the period ended March 30, 2013. The weighted average fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012 was $0.22 and $0.31 respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value for options exercised during the three months ended March 30, 2013 was $2,437. There were no options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2012.
2) Performance Based Stock Options
The Company also grants stock option awards that are performance based and vest based on the achievement of certain criteria established from time to time by the Compensation Committee. If these performance criteria are not met, the compensation expenses are not recognized and the expenses that have been recognized will be reversed.

The Company did not grant any performance based stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2012.
As of March 30, 2013, there was $2,201,293 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the plans for employee stock options. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.39 years as of March 30, 2013. The realized tax benefit from stock options for the three months ended March 30, 2013, and March 31, 2012 was $0, based on the Company’s full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.
Restricted Stock
Restricted stock awards granted by the Company to employees have vesting conditions that are unique to each award.

As of March 30, 2013, the Company did not have any unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock awards to employees.
For employee share-based compensation, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $286,534 in general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations for the three months ended March 30, 2013. The Company recognized income of $296,135 in share-based compensation for the comparable period in 2012. The income amount is a result of certain expenses that were reversed due to the forfeiture of certain stock options and restricted stock.
Note 7. Non-Employee Share-Based Compensation
Stock Option Plans
At the discretion of management, working with the Compensation Committee, and with approval of the Board of Directors, the Company may grant options to purchase the Company’s common stock to certain individuals from time to time who are not employees of the Company. These options are granted under the Second Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan of the Company and are granted on the same terms as those being issued to employees. Stock options granted to non-employees are accounted for using the fair value approach. The fair value of non-employee option grants are estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and are re-measured over the vesting term until earned. The estimated fair value is expensed over the applicable service period.

The aggregate intrinsic values in the table above are before income taxes, based on the Company’s closing stock price of $0.71 on the last day of business for the period ended March 30, 2013.
As of March 30, 2013, there was $219 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted to non-employees. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.4 months as of March 30, 2013.
Stock Awards
From time to time, the Company awards shares of its common stock to non-employees for services provided or to be provided. If the fair value of services received is more reliably measurable than the fair value of the stock awarded, the fair value of the services received is used to measure the award. In contrast, if the fair value of the stock issued is more reliably measurable, than the fair value of services received, the award is measured based on the fair value of the stock awarded. Since these stock awards are fully vested and non-forfeitable, upon issuance the measurement date for the award is usually reached on the date of the award. The measured fair value of the award is amortized over the period the service is provided.
During the three months ended March 30, 2013, the Company awarded an aggregate of 440,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to non-employees. The fair values of the awards were based on the trading price of the Company’s stock on the date of issuance. The expense the Company recognized for stock awards was $62,178 for the three months ended March 30, 2013. As of March 30, 2013, there was $204,746 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock awarded to the non-employees. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company awarded an aggregate of 189,557 shares and recognized a total expense of $126,916.
Warrant Awards
During the three months ended March 30, 2013, the Company recognized an expense of $2,760 for the warrants that were previously awarded during the year ended December 29, 2012. The Company did not award any new warrants during the three months ended March 30, 2013. As of March 30, 2013, there was $1,334 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to warrants awarded to the non-employee.
For non-employee share-based compensation, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $65,056 in general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations for the three months ended March 30, 2013. The Company recognized $362,122 in share-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Note 9. Business Segmentation
Since the year ended December 29, 2012, the Company has generated considerable revenue from its recently acquired subsidiary, Spherix, which provides scientific and regulatory consulting. As a result, the Company began segregating its financial results for Spherix, and has following three reportable segments.
·
|
Core standards, contract services and ingredients segment includes supply of phytochemical reference standards, which are small quantities of plant-based compounds typically used to research an array of potential attributes, and reference materials, related contract services, and proprietary ingredients.
|
·
|
Retail dietary supplement products segment which consist of the supply of the BluScience line of dietary supplement products containing the Company's proprietary ingredients to various retail distribution channels.
|
·
|
Scientific and regulatory consulting segment which consist of providing scientific and regulatory consulting to the clients in the food, supplement and pharmaceutical industries to manage potential health and regulatory risks.
|
The “Other” classification includes corporate items not allocated by the Company to each reportable segment. Further, there are no intersegment sales that require elimination. The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on reviewing gross margin by reportable segment.

Note 10. Management’s Plans for Continuing Operations
The Company has incurred a net loss of $1,424,072 for the three-month period ended March 30, 2013 and an operating loss of $1,416,485 for the three-month period ended March 30, 2013. One of the factors that contributed to this loss is share-based compensation expense. The Company's share-based compensation expense totaled $351,590 for the three months ended March 30, 2013. In addition to the stock options granted to employees, the Company has been awarding shares of its common stock to non-employees as compensation of the services provided. The Company also incurred an operating loss of $192,399 from BluScience operations, without the gain on sale of BluScience consumer production line. Increase in trade accounts receivable allowance for possible future returns was the main reason for the loss from BluScience operations as the increase in allowance was treated as a reduction of revenue. Another factor that contributed to the loss is the investment in additional personnel and marketing expenses to implement its business plan to expand the line of proprietary ingredients. This has resulted in higher selling, marketing and patent related expenses compared to prior years. Management has also implemented additional strategic operational structure changes, which it believes, will allow the Company to achieve profitability with future growth without incurring significant additional overhead costs. Management’s anticipation of future growth is largely related to the demand of the line of proprietary ingredients offered by the Company.
By curtailing certain expenditures, management believes it will be able to support operations of the Company with its current cash and cash from operations through December, 2013. In addition, although uncertain , the Company may have prospective collections of up to $1,333,334 from NeutriSci prior to December, 2013 from the sale of BluScience consumer product line . Also, as of March 30, 2013, the Company has 4,389,281 warrants outstanding with an exercise price of $0.21 per share. Assuming the full exercise of the outstanding warrants for cash, the Company would receive additional proceeds of $921,749. There can be no assurance that the holders of these warrants will exercise any of the outstanding warrants for cash, and the Company will not receive any proceeds from any of the outstanding warrants until they are exercised.
If the Company determines that it shall require additional financing to further enable it to achieve its long-term strategic objectives, there can be no assurance that such financing will be available on terms favorable to it or at all. If adequate financing is not available, the Company will further delay, postpone or terminate product and service expansion and curtail certain selling, general and administrative operations. The inability to raise additional financing may have a material adverse effect on the future performance of the Company.
Note 11. Income Taxes
At March 30, 2013 and December 29, 2012, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance against the entire net deferred income tax balance after considering relevant factors, including recent operating results, the likelihood of the utilization of net operating loss tax carry forwards, and the ability to generate future taxable income. The Company expects to maintain a full valuation allowance on its entire net deferred tax assets in 2013, resulting in an effective tax rate of zero for the three months ended March 30, 2013.
Note 12. Subsequent Events
From March 31, 2013 through May 9, 2013, 2,314,283 of the warrants with an exercise price of $0.21 per share have been exercised and the Company received proceeds of $485,999 from the exercise of the warrants. These warrants were issued during the year ended January 1, 2011, pursuant to the Subscription Agreement entered into by the Company on April 22, 2010.
From March 31, 2013 through May 9, 2013, 250,000 of the stock options with an exercise price of $0.50 per share have been exercised and the Company received proceeds of $125,000.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
This Quarterly Report on Form 10− Q/A (the “Form 10− Q/A ”) contains “forward-looking statements,” as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements reflect the Company’s current expectations of the future results of its operations, performance and achievements. Forward-looking statements are covered under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company has tried, wherever possible, to identify these statements by using words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends” and similar expressions. These statements reflect management’s current beliefs and are based on information now available to it. Accordingly, these statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and contingencies that could cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements in 2013 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, such statements. Such statements, include, but are not limited to, statements contained in this Form 10- Q/A relating to our business, financial performance, business strategy, recently announced transactions and capital outlook. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward- looking statements include: a continued decline in general economic conditions nationally and internationally; decreased demand for our products and services; market acceptance of our products; the ability to protect our intellectual property rights; the impact of any litigation or infringement actions brought against us; competition from other providers and products; risks in product development; the inability to raise capital to fund continuing operations; changes in government regulation; the ability to complete customer transactions, and other factors relating to our industry, our operations and results of operations and any businesses that may be acquired by us. Should one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned. Additional risks, uncertainties, and other factors are set forth under Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 29, 2012 and filed with the Commission on March 29, 2013 and in future reports the Company files with the Commission. Readers of this Form 10− Q/A should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as required by federal securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements to reflect new events or uncertainties.
You should read the following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company together with the financial statements and the related notes presented in Item 1 of this Form 10- Q/A. The financial statements previously issued for the three month period ended March 30, 2013 that was filed with SEC on May 10, 2013 contained a misstatement pertaining to the accounting treatment of the sale of the BluScience assets to NeutriSci. The value of the equity and the senior secured convertible note that the Company received from NeutriSci as part of the purchase price were originally accounted for at the stated values of the consideration received for recognizing a gain on the sale of the BluScience assets. Due to the inability to make a reliably determinable estimate of the fair value of the NeutriSci equity securities and the ultimate collectability of the note received as consideration, management has determined that the proper accounting for the sale transaction is the cost recovery method. Under the cost recovery method, no gain on the sale will be recognized until the Company’s cost basis in the net assets sold has been recovered. The Company originally accounted for its investment in NeutriSci under the cost method where it has now been determined that the equity method should have been used. The Company expects all amendments and restatements to the Financial Statements affected to be non-cash in nature. The discussion and analysis for the results of operations for the three months ended March 30, 2013 gives effect to the Restatement, which is to reflect a correction in the manner in which the Company has accounted for the sale of BluScience assets to NeutriSci. More information regarding the Restatement and the impact of the correction of errors is set forth in Part 1, Item 1, Note 2 of this Form 10-Q/A.
Overview
We supply phytochemical reference standards, which are small quantities of plant-based compounds typically used to research an array of potential attributes, and reference materials, related contract services, and proprietary ingredients. We perform chemistry-based analytical services at our laboratory in Boulder, Colorado, typically in support of quality control or quality assurance activities within the dietary supplement industry. We recently acquired Spherix Consulting, Inc., which provides scientific and regulatory consulting to the clients in the food, supplement and pharmaceutical industries to manage potential health and regulatory risks. In 2011, we launched the BluScience retail dietary supplement products containing one of the proprietary ingredients, pTeroPure, which we also sell as an ingredient for incorporation into the products of other companies. However, on March 28, 2013, we entered into an asset purchase and sale agreement with NeutriSci and consummated the sale of BluScience consumer product line to NeutriSci.
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP . The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenues, if any, and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate such estimates and judgments, including those described in greater detail below. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The discussion and analysis for the results of operations for the three months ended March 30, 2013 gives effect to the Restatement, which is to reflect a correction in the manner in which the Company has accounted for the sale of BluScience assets to NeutriSci.
By curtailing certain expenditures, we anticipate that our current cash and cash generated from operations and the cash payments received and prospective collections from the sale of BluScience consumer product line (see Liquidity and Capital Resources below in Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10- Q/A ) will be sufficient to meet our projected operating plans through the end of December, 2013. Also, as of March 30, 2013, the Company has 4,389,281 warrants outstanding with an exercise price of $0.21 per share. Assuming the full exercise of the outstanding warrants for cash, the Company would receive additional proceeds of $921,749. There can be no assurance that the holders of these warrants will exercise any of the outstanding warrants for cash, and the Company will not receive any proceeds from any of the outstanding warrants until they are exercised. We may, however, seek additional capital prior to the end of December, 2013, both to meet our projected operating plans through and after December, 2013 and/or to fund our longer term strategic objectives.
Additional capital may come from public and/or private stock or debt offerings, borrowings under lines of credit or other sources. These additional funds may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. Furthermore, if we issue equity or debt securities to raise additional funds, our existing stockholders may experience dilution and the new equity or debt securities we issue may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to our common stock. In addition, if we raise additional funds through collaboration, licensing or other similar arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish valuable rights to our products or proprietary technologies, or to grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. If we cannot raise funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to develop or enhance our products, obtain the required regulatory clearances or approvals, achieve long term strategic objectives, take advantage of future opportunities, or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated customer requirements. Any of these events could adversely affect our ability to achieve our development and commercialization goals, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. If we are unable to establish small to medium scale production capabilities through our own plant or though collaboration with third parties on acceptable terms, we may be unable to fulfill our customers’ requirements. This may cause a loss of future revenue streams as well as require us to seek third party vendors to provide these services. These vendors may not be available, or may charge fees that prevent us from pricing our products competitively within our markets.
We have licensed to OPKO Health, Inc. (“OPKO”), a multi-national biopharmaceutical and diagnostics company, certain new product offerings and health care technologies for distribution and business development throughout Latin America. The initial product to be commercialized is our proprietary product pterostilbene. We believe that partnering with OPKO provides a unique opportunity to enter the Latin American market and we see this market as potentially offering the Company significant long-term economic prospects.
Some of our operations are subject to regulation by various state and federal agencies. In addition, we expect a significant increase in the regulation of our target markets. Dietary supplements are subject to FDA, FTC and U.S. Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) regulations relating to composition, labeling and advertising claims. These regulations may in some cases, particularly with respect to those applicable to new ingredients, require a notification that must be submitted to the FDA along with evidence of safety. There are similar regulations related to food additives.
Results of Operations
We generated net sales of $2,334,566 for the three-month period ended March 30, 2013 as compared to $1,785,006 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. We incurred a net loss of $1, 424,072 for the three-month period ended March 30, 2013 as compared with a net loss of $4,431,853 incurred for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. This equated to a $0.02 loss per basic and diluted share for the three-month period ended March 30, 2013 as compared with a $0.05 loss per basic and diluted share for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012.
Over the next two years, we plan to continue to increase research and development efforts for our line of proprietary ingredients, subject to available financial resources. However, we presently do not have the necessary resources (financial and otherwise) to do so. We also intend to continue to expand our service capacity through hiring and to implement accreditation and certification programs related to quality initiatives. In addition, we plan to expand our chemical library program and to either establish a Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) compliant pilot plant to support small to medium scale production of target compounds or collaborate with a company that has these capabilities. There can be no assurance, however, that we will actually implement any of these plans.
Net Sales
Net sales consist of gross sales less promotions, discounts and returns. Net sales increased by 31% to $2,334,566 for the three-month period ended March 30, 2013 as compared to $1,785,006 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. The core standards, contract services and ingredients segment generated net sales of $2,151,513 for the three-month period ended March 30, 2013. This is an increase of 16%, compared to $1,854,748 for three-month period ended March 31, 2012. This increase was largely due to increased sales of contract services, our proprietary ingredients and other bulk dietary supplement grade raw materials. The retail dietary supplement products segment generated negative net sales of $60,285 for the three month period ended March 30, 2013. The gross sales for this segment was $557,111, however, sales deductions for promotions and returns, including additional trade accounts receivable allowance for possible future returns totaled $617,396. For the three month period ended March 31, 2012, the retail dietary supplement products segment generated negative net sales of $69,742. The gross sales for this period was $2,179,426, however, sales deductions for promotions and discounts related to the launch of BluScience products totaled $2,249,168. The scientific and regulatory consulting segment generated net sales of $243,338 for the three-month period ended March 30, 2013. We did not have the scientific and regulatory consulting segment for the comparable period in 2012.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales include raw materials, labor, overhead, and delivery costs. Cost of sales for the three-month period ended March 30, 2013 was $1,661,726 as compared with $2,389,220 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. As a percentage of net sales, this represented a 63% decrease for the three-month period ended March 30, 2013 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. The cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the core standards, contract services and ingredients segment for the three-month period ended March 30, 2013 was 70% compared to 73% for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This percentage decrease in cost of sales is largely due to increased sales of analytical testing and contract services. Fixed labor costs make up the majority of costs for analytical testing and contract services and these fixed labor costs did not increase in proportion to sales. Despite the negative sales, the cost of sales for the retail dietary supplement products segment for the three-month periods ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012 were $955 and $1,042,598 respectively. The cost of sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 was greater as there were promotions and discounted sales related to the launch of BluScience products. The cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the scientific and regulatory consulting segment for the three-month period ended March 30, 2013 was 60%. We did not have the scientific and regulatory consulting segment for the comparable period in 2012.
Gross Profit (Loss)
Gross profit (loss) is net sales less the cost of sales and is affected by a number of factors including product mix, competitive pricing and costs of products and services. Our gross profit increased to $672,840 for the three-month period ended March 30, 2013 from gross loss of $604,214 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. For the core standards, contract services and ingredients segment, our gross profit increased 25% to $637,530 for the three-month period ended March 30, 2013 from $508,126 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. The increased sale of analytical testing and contract services was the primary reason for the increase in gross profit. For retail dietary supplement products segment, we had a gross loss of $61,240 for the three-month period ended March 30, 2013 and a gross loss of $1,112,340 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. The gross loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 was due to the sales promotions and sales discounts we offered in relation to the launch of BluScience products. For the scientific and regulatory consulting segment, we had a gross profit of $96,550 for the three-month period ended March 30, 2013. We did not have the scientific and regulatory consulting segment for the comparable period in 2012.
Operating Expenses-Sales and Marketing
Sales and Marketing Expenses consist of salaries, advertising and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses for the three-month period ended March 30, 2013 was $729,424 as compared to $1,858,662 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. For the core standards, contract services and ingredients segment, sales and marketing expenses for the three-month period ended March 30, 2013 increased to $596,777 as compared to $474,944 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. This increase was primarily due to an increase in sales staff and increased marketing efforts for our line of proprietary ingredients. For the retail dietary supplement products segment, sales and marketing expenses for the three-month period ended March 30, 2013 decreased to $131,159 as compared to $1,383,718 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, we conducted a national advertising campaign through television and radio media in support of the launch of BluScience products. We did not conduct such an advertising campaign during the three-month period ended March 30, 2013. For the scientific and regulatory consulting segment, sales and marketing expenses for the three- month period ended March 30, 2013 was $1,488. We did not have the scientific and regulatory consulting segment for the comparable period in 2012.
Operating Expenses-General and Administrative
General and Administrative Expenses consist of research and development, general company administration, IT, accounting and executive management. General and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended March 30, 2013 decreased to $1,359,901 as compared to $1,961,912 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. One of the factors that contributed to this decrease was departures of certain officers who were with the Company during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. The Company did not hire new officers to fill the vacated positions. There was also a severance payment of approximately $310,000 to one officer for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. Another factor that contributed to the decrease in general and administrative expenses is a decrease in investor relations expenses. Our investor relations expenses decreased to $54,953 for the three month period ended March 30, 2013, as compared to $318,541 for the three month period ended March 31, 2012.
Non-operating income- Interest Income
Interest income consists of interest earned on money market accounts and note receivable. Interest income for the three-month period ended March 30, 2013 was $ 204 as compared to $1,199 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012.
Non-operating Expenses- Interest Expense
Interest expense consists of interest on capital leases. Interest expense for the three-month period ended March 30, 2013 was $7,791 as compared to $8,264 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation expense for the three-month period ended March 30, 2013, was approximately $79,184 as compared to $85,422 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. We depreciate our assets on a straight-line basis, based on the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Amortization expense of intangible assets for the three-month period ended March 30, 2013, was approximately $4,964 as compared to $3,391 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. We amortize intangible assets using a straight-line method over 10 years.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
From inception and through March 30, 2013, we have incurred aggregate losses of approximately $31.1 million. These losses are primarily due to expenses associated with the development and expansion of our operations. These operations have been financed through capital contributions and the issuance of common stock and warrants through private placements and through our registered direct offering.
Our board of directors periodically reviews our capital requirements in light of our proposed business plan. Our future capital requirements will remain dependent upon a variety of factors, including cash flow from operations, the ability to increase sales, increasing our gross profits from current levels, reducing sales and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales, continued development of customer relationships, and our ability to market our new products successfully. However, based on our results from operations, we may determine that we need additional financing to implement our business plan. There can be no assurance that any such financing will be available on terms favorable to us or at all. Without adequate financing we may have to further delay or terminate product or service expansion plans. Any inability to raise additional financing would have a material adverse effect on us.
On March 28, 2013, we entered into an asset purchase and sale agreement with NeutriSci International Inc. and consummated the sale of BluScience consumer product line to NeutriSci. The Company is using the cost and recovery method to account for the sale transaction, which is estimated at approximately $3,157,804. The consideration received consists of following: (a) a $250,000 cash payment, which NeutriSci paid as a deposit in February 2013; (b) an additional $250,000 cash payment, which was paid at the closing of the sale; (c) an additional cash payment of $500,000 due no later than 60 days after the closing of the sale; (d) a $2,500,000 senior convertible secured note (convertible into 625,000 shares Series I Preferred Stock as described below) payable in quarterly installments of $416,667 beginning August 15, 2013; and (e) 669,708 shares of Series I Preferred Shares that are convertible into 2,678,832 Class “A” common shares of NeutriSci, representing an aggregate of 19% of the NeutriSci shares at a deemed price for each Class A common share of $1.00 per share. The transaction documents contain certain equity blockers that preclude our ownership in NeutriSci in excess of 9.99% and 19% without obtaining a waiver from NeutriSci. In addition, as of March 30, 2013, we had 4,389,281 warrants outstanding with an exercise price of $0.21 per share. Assuming the full exercise of the outstanding warrants for cash, we would receive additional proceeds of $921,749. There can be no assurance that the holders of these warrants will exercise any of the outstanding warrants for cash, and we will not receive any proceeds from any of the outstanding warrants until they are exercised for cash.
While we anticipate that our current levels of capital, along with curtailment of certain expenses, will be sufficient to meet our projected operating plans through the end of December, 2013, we may seek additional capital prior to December, 2013, both to meet our projected operating plans through and after December, 2013 and to fund our longer term strategic objectives. To the extent we are unable to raise additional cash or generate sufficient revenue to meet our projected operating plans prior to December, 2013, we will revise our projected operating plans accordingly.
Net cash used in operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 30, 2013 was approximately $705,802 as compared to approximately $4,656,237 used in for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Along with the net loss , a decrease in accounts payable and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets were the largest uses of cash during the three months ended March 30, 2013. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 largely reflects increase in inventories and trade receivables along with the net loss.
We expect our operating cash flows to fluctuate significantly in future periods as a result of fluctuations in our operating results, shipment timetables, accounts receivable collections, inventory management, and the timing of our payments, among other factors.
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $452,572 for the three months ended March 30, 2013, compared to approximately $6,714 used in for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 30, 2013 mainly consisted of proceeds from the sale of BluScience consumer product line. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 mainly consisted of purchases of leasehold improvements and equipment as well as purchases of intangible assets.
Net cash provided by financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $699,806 for the three months ended March 30, 2013, compared to approximately $10,047,978 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 30, 2013 mainly consisted of proceeds from the exercise of warrants related to the 2010 private placement. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 mainly consisted of proceeds from issuance of our common stock through registered direct offering and private placement.
Dividend policy
We have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock. We presently intend to retain earnings for use in our operations and to finance our business. Any change in our dividend policy is within the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend, among other things, on our earnings, debt service and capital requirements, restrictions in financing agreements, if any, business conditions, legal restrictions and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the three months ended March 30, 2013, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements other than ordinary operating leases as disclosed in the “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 29, 2012 and filed with the Commission on March 29, 2013.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a – 15(e) and 15d – 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. They have concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of March 30, 2013.
The Company is still in the process of analyzing and addressing the material weakness that existed in its internal control over its financial reporting for the quarter ended March 30, 2013. On November 21, 2013, the Company has filed the Restatement 8-K that addresses in greater detail the nature of the material weakness identified by the Company’s management. The Company will file a full report of management on the registrant's internal control over financial reporting with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2013.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a−15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the Company’s first fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
