Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2013

(unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 1, 2013. In the opinion of management, this interim information includes all material adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for fair presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 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. Estimates that are particularly susceptible to change include assumptions used in determining the fair value of securities owned and non-readily marketable securities.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year or for any other period.

NOTE 2 - Business Description

BioZone Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (formerly, International Surf Resorts, Inc.; the “Company”, “we”, “our”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 4, 2006. On March 1, 2011, we changed our name from International Surf Resorts, Inc. to BioZone Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

The BioZone Lab group (the operating subsidiaries of the Company) has operated since inception as a developer, manufacturer, and marketer of over-the-counter drugs and preparations, cosmetics, and nutritional supplements on behalf of health care product marketing companies and national retailers. We have been developing our proprietary drug delivery technology (the “BioZone Technology”) as an enhancement for approved, generic prescription drugs that are limited due to poor stability or bioavailability or variable absorption.

NOTE 3 – Going Concern

These consolidated financial statements are presented on the basis that we will continue as a going concern. The going concern concept contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred operating losses for the current period ended September 30, 2013 as well as its last two fiscal years, has a working capital deficiency of $12,461,184 and an accumulated deficit of $21,658,329 as of September 30, 2013. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Subsequent to September 30, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its operating assets. It expects to close the sale by December 31, 2013. Upon closing, the Company will have a material stock ownership of MusclePharm Corporation (“MSLP”), cash, expects to have no liabilities and only one employee of the Company. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 4. - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition. We follow the guidance of the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 104 for revenue recognition and Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”. The Company operates as a contract manufacturer and produces finished goods according to customer specifications. The agreements with customers do not contain any rights of return other than for goods that fail to meet the specifications provided by the customer. The Company has not experienced any significant returns from customers and accordingly, in management’s opinion, no reserve for returns is provided. We record revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the selling price to the customer is fixed or determinable and collectability of the revenue is reasonably assured.

Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned, and 580 Garcia Ave, LLC (“580 Garcia”) a Variable Interest Entity.

Convertible Instruments . We evaluate and account for conversion options embedded in convertible instruments in accordance with ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging Activities”. Applicable Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under other GAAP with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument.

We account for convertible instruments (when we have determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments) as follows: We record when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants. We classify as equity any contracts that require physical settlement or net-share settlement or provide us a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in our own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) provided that such contracts are indexed to our own stock as defined in ASC 815-40 ("Contracts in Entity's Own Equity"). We classify as assets or liabilities any contracts that require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside our control) or give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). We assess classification of our common stock purchase warrants and other free standing derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required.

Our derivative instruments consisting of warrants to purchase our common stock were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the following assumptions at June 30, 2013:

Estimated dividends	None
Expected volatility	184%
Risk-free interest rate	0.83%
Expected term	2 to 5 years

Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets of business purchased. Goodwill is not being amortized but is evaluated for impairment on at least an annual basis.

NOTE 5.- Discontinued Operations.

On September 3, 2013, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, (the “APA”), by and among the Company, BioZone Laboratories, Inc., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (“BZL”) (and Lautus Pharmaceuticals LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (“Lautus” or the “Buyer”). (The Company and BZL are referred to herein as the “Sellers”).

Pursuant to the APA, the Buyer purchased from the Sellers certain assets relating to the Glyderm ® brand of skin care products currently manufactured and sold by BZL. Specifically, the Sellers sold all of their interests in (A) the Glyderm ® trademark, the Glyderm ® patents, the Glyderm ® product formulations, the domain names, www.glydermonline.com and www.glydermskincare.com, and the Glyderm ® internet website; and (B) the Sellers’ entire inventory of Glyderm ® products held for resale (the “Purchased Assets”).

The purchase price for the Purchased Assets is an aggregate amount equal to: (A) one million dollars ($1,000,000), payable as follows: (i) six hundred thousand dollars ($600,000) payable at the closing of the APA (the “Closing Date”), (ii) two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) payable six (6) months after the Closing Date, and (iii) two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) payable twelve (12) months after the Closing Date; plus (B) the purchase price for the inventory, calculated based on the amount of units of Glyderm ® products purchased on the Closing Date at the price per unit that BZL charges its non-retail customers for similar products. The Buyer will pay the purchase price for the inventory as the Glyderm ® products contained in the inventory are sold by the Buyer to third parties.

Simultaneous with the closing of the APA, BZL and the Buyer entered into a Supply Agreement providing for the manufacture of Glyderm ® products by BZL on behalf of the Buyer. The term of the Supply Agreement is five years and is subject to termination upon various events set forth in the Supply Agreement, including termination at the Buyer’s option upon ninety days prior written notice. The Supply Agreement contains a schedule of the price per unit that the Buyer has agreed to pay BZL for the manufacture of Glyderm ® products. The Buyer is not obligated to purchase any minimum amount of Glyderm ® products from BZL during the term of the Supply Agreement. BZL’s assets are subject to the proposed MSLP sale.

In addition, BZL and the Buyer entered into a Services Agreement on the Closing Date pursuant to which BZL will provide to Buyer certain ongoing operational support on behalf of Buyer for a period of twelve months from the Closing Date.

The analysis of the total gain on disposal, carrying values of the assets and liabilities disposed, and also the net cash inflow from the disposal were as follows:

Gain on divestment of Glyderm Brand
Purchase price			1,000,000
Carrying value of net assets			314,347
Net gain on divestment			685,653

Carrying value of net assets
Receivables			181,716
Inventory			125,899
Website			2,662
Deferred financing costs			2,368
Other assets			1,702
			314,347

The results of the disposal of the Glyderm brand, and the cash flows from discontinued operations are disclosed under discontinued operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and the comparative results have been restated accordingly.

On March 22, 2013, BZL entered into a Factoring and Security Agreement (the “Factoring Agreement”) with Midland American Capital Corporation (“Midland”) pursuant to which Midland will provide up to $1,500,000 of financing, on a discretionary basis, against the Company’s accounts receivable.

Under the Factoring Agreement, Midland has agreed to purchase certain accounts receivables of the Company and the Company has agreed to pay Midland an initial fee of 2.5% of the face amount of an account (subject to certain adjustments) plus 0.833% of the face amount of an account (subject to certain adjustments) for each 10 day period following the first 30 days of financing. If the receivable is not paid within 75 days of the purchase of the account, Midland can chargeback the receivable to the Company, unless the debtor became insolvent, subject to certain exceptions. In addition, Midland may chargeback the receivable to the Company in the case of an event of default or upon termination of the Factoring Agreement. The Factoring Agreement provides for certain customary covenants of the Company and the Company is subject to penalties in the event of a misdirected fee, a missing notation of Midland on an invoice and late charges on any monies owed to Midland. The term of the Factoring Agreement is one year and is subject to termination by either party upon sixty days prior written notice subject to certain exceptions. MSLP has agreed to assume the Factoring Agreement and acquire the accounts receivable. We agreed to guarantee that collections of the accounts receivable were at least equal to the assumed liability under the Factoring Agreement.

In connection with the execution of the Factoring Agreement, the Company entered into a Purchase Money Rider (the “Purchase Money Rider”) with Midland pursuant to which Midland will provide to the Company, on a discretionary basis, financing to procure raw materials for the manufacture of the Company’s goods. The financing under the Purchase Money Rider may be made via direct payment to the Company’s suppliers or issuance of letters of credit. The Company will be required to pay Midland an initial purchase fee of 2.95% of the amount financed plus a purchase money fee of 0.933% of the amount financed for each 10 day period following the first 30 days of financing.

As collateral security for all of the Company’s obligations under the Factoring Agreement and Purchase Money Rider, BZL granted Midland a security interest in all of its assets. To further secure the Company’s obligations under the Factoring Agreement and Purchase Money Rider, the Company and Baker Cummins Corp., a subsidiary of the Company, executed a Guarantee and Security Agreement pursuant to which each of them agreed to guaranty the Company’s obligations owed by Midland secured by a security interest in all of their assets.

In addition, in connection with the execution of the Factoring Agreement and Purchase Money Rider, Elliot Maza, the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company and Brian Keller, the President and Chief Scientific Officer of the Company executed a Validity Guaranty pursuant to which each of these persons has agreed to indemnify Midland from any loss incurred in the event of breach of certain representations and warranties made to Midland or any misstatement, fraud or criminal act on the part of any officer or agent of the Company. Furthermore, certain note holders holding notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,300,000 entered into inter-creditor agreements, whereby such note-holders agreed to subordinate to Midland their security interest in certain assets of the Company.

NOTE 9 - Convertible Notes Payable

The “February 2012 Notes”

On February 24, 2012, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with OPKO Health Inc. pursuant to which we borrowed $1,700,000 evidenced by a 10% convertible note due two years from the date of issuance and issued warrants to purchase 8,500,000 shares of the our common stock, at an exercise price of $0.40 per share.

On February 28, 2012 and February 29, 2012, we entered in a Securities Purchase Agreement with two additional buyers pursuant to which we borrowed an additional $600,000 evidenced by notes and issued warrants to purchase an additional 3,000,000 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $0.40 per share. The notes and warrants contained the same terms as the notes and warrants issued to OPKO as described above.

In connection with the sale of the notes and the warrants, the Company and the collateral agent for the buyers entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement pursuant to which all of our obligations under the notes are secured by a first priority perfected security interest in all of our tangible and intangible assets, including all of our ownership interest in our subsidiaries.

The entire principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest on the notes is due and payable in cash on the maturity date set forth in the notes. The notes bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.20 per share, subject to adjustment. We may prepay any outstanding amount due under the notes, in whole or in part, prior to the maturity date. The notes are subject to certain “Events of Defaults” which could cause all amounts due and owing thereunder to become immediately due and payable. Among other things, our failure to pay any accrued but unpaid interest when due, the failure to perform any obligation under the governing transaction documents or if any representation or warranty made by the Company in connection with the governing transaction documents proves to have been incorrect in any material respect constitutes an Event of Default under the governing transaction documents.

The Company is prohibited from effecting a conversion of the notes or exercise of the warrants, to the extent that as a result of such conversion or exercise the holder would beneficially own more than 4.99% (subject to waiver) in the aggregate of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, calculated immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of such note or exercise of such warrant, as the case may be.

All of the warrants granted with the above notes have been exercised.

We determined that the initial fair value of the warrants was $5,221,172 based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which we treated as a liability with a corresponding decrease in the carrying value of the notes. Under authoritative guidance, the carrying value of the notes may not be reduced below zero. Accordingly, we recorded interest expense of $2,921,172 at the time of the issuance of the notes, which is the excess of the value of the warrants over the allocated fair value of the notes. The discount related to the notes will be amortized over the term of the notes as interest expense, calculated using an effective interest method.

We determined that according to ASC 470120-30, a beneficial conversion feature existed based on the intrinsic value of the conversion feature. Due to the fact that the carrying amount of the convertible notes has been reduced to zero, based on the discount allocated from the value of the warrants referred to above, that no beneficial conversion feature is to be recorded. ASC 470-20-30-8 states that if the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature is greater than the proceeds allocated to the convertible instrument, the amount of the discount assigned to the beneficial conversion feature shall be limited to the amount of the proceeds allocated to the convertible instrument.

The “March 2012 Purchase Order Note”

On March 13, 2012, we borrowed $1,000,000 and issued an accredited investor a 10% senior secured convertible promissory note (the “Purchase Order Note”).

The Company has not recorded a beneficial conversion feature on the March 2012 Purchase Order Notes due to the effective conversion price being greater than the fair value of the Company’s stock at the issuance date.

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had repaid $900,000 of the Purchase Order Note. On October 8, 2013, the holder converted the remaining amount due under the Note into 1,180,192 shares and the note was cancelled.

The “April 2012 Working Capital Note”

On April 18, 2012, we borrowed $250,000 and issued an accredited investor a 10% senior convertible promissory note (the “Working Capital Note”).

On June 28, 2012, the holder of the Working Capital Note exchanged such Note for the June 2012 Convertible Notes described below.

The “June 2012 Working Capital Notes”

On June 13, 2012, we borrowed $200,000 and issued accredited investors a 10% promissory notes (the “June 2012 Working Capital Notes”). .

On June 28, 2012, the holders of the June 2012 Working Capital Notes exchanged such notes for the June 2012 Convertible Notes described below.

The “June 2012 Convertible Notes”

On June 28, 2012, we issued $455,274 of 10% convertible promissory notes (the “June 2012 Convertible Notes”) and warrants (the “June 2012 Warrants”) to purchase 2,250,000 shares of our common stock to the holders of the Working Capital Notes and June 2012 Working Capital Notes with an aggregate amount of principal and accrued interest due as of such date equal to the aggregate principal amount of the June 2012 Convertible Notes. The Working Capital Notes and June 2012 Working Capital Notes were cancelled.

The June 2012 Convertible Notes mature June 28, 2014. We may prepay any outstanding amounts owing under the June 2012 Convertible Notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the maturity date. The entire remaining principal amount and all accrued but unpaid or unconverted interest is due and payable on the earlier of the Maturity Date or the occurrence of an Event of Default (each as defined in the June 2012 Convertible Notes). The June 2012 Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.20 per share.

The Company is prohibited from effecting a conversion of the June 2012 Convertible Notes or exercise of the June 2012 Warrants, to the extent that as a result of such conversion or exercise, the holder would beneficially own more than 4.99% (subject to waiver) in the aggregate of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, calculated immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the June 2012 Convertible Note or exercise of the June 2012 Warrants, as the case may be.

The June 2012 Warrants are exercisable immediately, expire ten years after the date of issuance and have an initial exercise price of $0.40 per share. The June 2012 Warrants are exercisable in cash or through a “cashless exercise”. We determined that the initial fair value of the June 2012 Warrants was $1,036,042 based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which we treated as a liability with a corresponding decrease in the carrying value of the June 2012 Convertible Notes. Under authoritative guidance, the carrying value of the June 2012 Convertible Notes may not be reduced below zero. Accordingly, we recorded interest expense of $580,768, which is the excess of the value of the June 2012 Warrants over the allocated fair value of the June 2012 Convertible Notes, at the date of the issuance. The discount related to the June 2012 Convertible Notes will be amortized over the term of the Notes as interest expense, calculated using an effective interest method.

The “June 2013 Convertible Note”

On June 20, 2013, we borrowed $50,000 and issued a convertible promissory note (the “June 2013 Convertible Note”) which matures one year from its issue date. We may prepay any outstanding amounts owing under the June 2013 Convertible Note, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the maturity date. The entire remaining principal amount and all accrued but unpaid or unconverted interest is due and payable on the earlier of the Maturity Date or the occurrence of an Event of Default (each as defined in the June 2013 Convertible Note). The June 2013 Convertible Note is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to the lower of $0.55 per share or 60% of the lowest trade price in the 25 trading days previous to the conversion. The Company repaid the Note in its entirety in September 2013.

In September 2013, the Company sold an additional promissory note for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000 for the same terms as above.

The “August 2013 Convertible Note”

On August 26, 2013, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with an investor (the “Buyer”) pursuant to which the Company (i) borrowed $2,000,000 and issued a 10% secured convertible promissory note (the “August 2013 Note”) due one year from the date of issuance (the “Maturity Date”) and issued (ii) warrants (the “August 2013 Warrants”) to purchase 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The August 2013 Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.20 per share, subject to adjustment. The Company may prepay any outstanding amount due under the August 2013 Note, in whole or in part, prior to the Maturity Date. The August 2013 Note is subject to certain “Events of Defaults” which could cause all amounts due and owing thereunder to become immediately due and payable. Among other things, the Company's failure to pay any accrued but unpaid interest when due, the failure to perform any obligation under the Transaction Documents (as defined below) or a determination that any representation or warranty made by the Company in connection with the Transaction Documents shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect shall constitute an Event of Default under the Transaction Documents.

The August 2013 Warrants are immediately exercisable and expire ten years after the date of issuance. The August 2013 Warrants have an initial exercise price of $0.40 per share. The August 2013 Warrants are exercisable in cash or by way of a cashless exercise while a registration statement covering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants or an exemption from registration is not available. We determined that the initial fair value of the August 2013 Warrants was $2,488,983 based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which we treated as a liability with a corresponding decrease in the carrying value of the August 2013 Note. Under authoritative guidance, the carrying value of the August 2013 Note may not be reduced below zero. Accordingly, we recorded interest expense of $488,983, which is the excess of the value of the August 2013 Warrants over the allocated fair value of the August 2013 Note, at the date of the issuance. The discount related to the August 2013 Note will be amortized over the term of the Notes as interest expense, calculated using an effective interest method.

The Company is prohibited from effecting a conversion of the August 2013 Note or exercise of the August 2013 Warrants to the extent that as a result of such conversion or exercise, the Buyer would beneficially own more than 4.99% (subject to waiver) in the aggregate of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, calculated immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the August 2013 Note or exercise of the Warrants, as the case may be.

In connection with the sale of the August 2013 Note and the August 2013 Warrants, the Company, the Buyer and the collateral agent for other secured creditors of the Company (including our Chairman, Roberto Prego-Novo) agreed to enter into an Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement” and, collectively with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Note and the Warrant, the “Transaction Documents”) pursuant to which all of the Company’s obligations under the August 2013 Note are secured by a perfected security interest in all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company, including all of its ownership interest in its subsidiaries, pari pasu, with the previous secured creditors, all of which is subordinated to the accounts receivable lender to the Company. Further, pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Note holder, the collateral agent and the prior secured creditors agreed to further subordinate the granted security interest to a security interest previously granted to another investor in the Company.

The Company has granted the Note holder “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the August 2013 Note and the shares of common stock underlying the August 2013 Warrants for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of closing.

Based on authoritative guidance, we have accounted for the February 2012 Warrants as liabilities.

Based on authoritative guidance, we have accounted for the August 2013 Warrants as liabilities. The liability for the August 2013 Warrants, measured at fair value, based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model, has been offset by a reduction in the carrying value of the related June 2012 Notes.

Company Overview

The Company, through its subsidiary BZL, is primarily is engaged in the business of developing and manufacturing Over-the-Counter drug products and cosmetic and beauty products on behalf of health care product marketing companies and national retailers. The Company has been developing its proprietary drug delivery technology as an enhancement for approved, generic prescription drugs that are limited due to poor stability or bioavailability or variable absorption.

Recently, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) conducted a strategic review of the feasibility and relative merits of various financial and business strategies for the Company. After careful consideration, the Board concluded that the optimum business strategy for the Company is to leverage its relationships and expertise in pharmaceutical product development to maximize current and future shareholder value. To that end, the Board decided to divest the Company’s contract manufacturing business and reinvest in biotechnology assets that promise significant upside in growth. In connection with that strategy, in November 2013, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “November APA”) with MusclePharm Corporation (“Musclepharm”). In connection with the November APA, the Company agreed to sell substantially all of the Company’s operating assets including the QuSomes, HyperSorb and EquaSomes drug delivery technologies (excluding certain assets including cash on hand) for 1,200,000 shares of Musclepharm’s common stock. We believe this sale will significantly transform the Company and provide an opportunity to deliver substantial shareholder value.

Currently, the Company is engaged in late stage negotiations with a significant biotech company, partially owned by OPKO Health, Teva Pharmaceuticals and one of our largest shareholders, Dr. Phillip Frost, and The Frost Group. The target acquisition is a privately funded biotechnology company developing technologies that are focused on the creation of first- and best-in-class antiviral therapeutics for human diseases.

In September 2013, the Company sold certain assets relating to the Glyderm® brand of skin care products including the Glyderm® trademark, the Glyderm® patents, the Glyderm® product formulations and the Company’s entire inventory of Glyderm® products held for resale. In consideration for the purchased assets, the Company received or will receive (i) $600,000 on the closing date, (ii) $200,000 payable six months after the closing date, and (iii) $200,000 payable 12 months after the closing date; plus the purchase price for the purchased inventory. All sales and operating expenses related to the Glyderm brand have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The right to receive the installment payments will be sold to Musclepharm as part of the November APA.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012:

Sales.

Sales from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $2,086,986 and $4,734,148, respectively. The decrease in sales of $2,647,162 or 55.9% was primarily attributable to the loss of our largest customer in 2013 due to a voluntary recall of product supplied by the Company in December of 2012. This customer represented approximately $1.9 million in sales in the prior year quarter. The remainder of the decrease is due to reduced customer orders from decreased end-user demand.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit.

Cost of sales for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $977,165 and $2,827,922, respectively, resulting in gross profit of $1,109,821 and $1,906,226, respectively. The gross profit percentage for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately 53% and 40%, respectively. The decrease in gross profit of $796,405 is largely attributable to the decrease in order size, resulting in reduced labor efficiency, and a decrease in sales of select products primarily attributable to decreased customer orders from decreased end user demand. However, the Company was able to increase the gross profit percentage to 53% for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 40% in the prior year period by making targeted cost cuts in our cost of goods sold due to the decrease in sales.

Operating Expenses.

We had total operating expenses of $1,515,621 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $1,567,718 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in operating expenses of $52,097 or 3.3% is due to a decrease of our research and development expenses of $100,551, which is primarily due to the closing of our research facility in Princeton, New Jersey and the termination of five staff members in August 2012. Our general and administrative expenses increased $20,711 which is primarily due to an increase in professional fees of $219,028, which is primarily legal fees related to the settlement of the three lawsuits that were settled recently. These increases were offset by a reduction in salary and related expenses of approximately $110,000 mostly due to a reduction in hours worked and a decrease in workforce due to attrition, the remaining decrease was due to small decreases in miscellaneous other accounts, primarily due to reduced business activity. Our selling expenses increased by $27,743 or 47% to $86,772 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $59,029 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, due to an effort to increase sales.

Interest Expense.

We incurred interest expense of $991,601 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $482,960 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in interest expense of $508,641 is due to the recording of an interest charge of $488,768 related to the derivative liability of the warrants issued in the three months ended September 2013, the remainder of the increase was due to an increase in the amount of debt outstanding.

Change in value of derivative instruments.

We recorded an unrealized loss on the fair market value of our derivative instruments of $4,660,841 for the three month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared to a gain of $21,912 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, resulting from an increase in the fair value of our derivative instruments.

Discontinued Operations /Gain on sale of assets.

As a result of our sale of the Glyderm brand and related assets we recorded income from discontinued operations of $64,058 for the three month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared to income of $23,810 in the prior year period. The Company recorded a gain on the sale of assets of $285,653 (see Note 5).

Net Loss.

As a result of the foregoing, we realized a net loss from continuing operations of $6,058,242 and a net loss of $5,422,878 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to a net loss of $98,730 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, an increase in net loss of $5,324,148.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012:

Sales.

Sales from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were $5,764,116 and $12,860,988 respectively. The decrease in sales of $7,096,872 or 55.2% was primarily attributable to the loss of our largest customer in 2013 due to a voluntary recall of product supplied by the Company in December of 2012. This customer represented approximately $3.5 million in sales in the prior year period. The remainder of the decrease is due reduced customer orders from decreased end-user demand.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit.

Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $3,742,495 and $7,703,507, respectively, resulting in gross profit of $2,021,621 and $5,157,481, respectively. The gross profit percentage for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately 35% and 40%, respectively. The decrease in gross profit of $3,135,860 and resulting decrease in gross profit percentage is largely attributable to the decrease in order size, resulting in reduced labor efficiency, and a decrease in sales of select products primarily attributable to the loss of our largest customer as well as decreased customer orders from decreased end user demand.

Operating Expenses.

We had total operating expenses of $4,352,938 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $5,228,090 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in operating expenses of $875,152 or 16.7% is due to an decrease of general and administrative expenses of $351,861 which is primarily due to a decrease in salary and related expenses of approximately $175,000 mostly due to a reduction in hours worked and a decrease in workforce due to attrition, a decrease in professional fees of $180,000, the remaining increase was due to small increases in miscellaneous other accounts. Our selling expenses decreased by $20,298 or 5.0% to $386,986 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $407,284 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, due to the decrease in sales. Our research and development expenses decreased $502,993, which is due to the closing of our research facility in Princeton, New Jersey and the termination of five staff members in August of 2012.

Interest Expense.

We incurred interest expense of $1,948,686 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to $4,970,657for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in interest expense of $3,021,971 is due to the recording of an interest charge of $3,692,528 related to the derivative liability of the warrants issued in connection with the convertible notes issued in 2012, which was offset by a similar charge of $488,768 in the current year period as well as an increase in interest expense for outstanding convertible notes in the current period.

Change in value of derivative instruments.

We recorded an unrealized loss on the fair market value of our derivative instruments of $4,148,748 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared to a gain of $477,830 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, resulting from an increase in the fair value of our derivative instruments.

Discontinued Operations /Gain on sale of assets.

As a result of our sale of the Glyderm brand and related assets we recorded income from discontinued operations of $212,848 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, as compared to income of $104,232 in the prior year period. The Company recorded a gain on the sale of assets of $285,653 (see Note 5).

Net Loss.

As of September 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $529,895 and negative working capital of $12,461,184.

Historical Financings

In August 2013, the Company borrowed $2,000,000 from Musclepharm an issued a one-year 10% secured convertible promissory note and 10,000,000 warrants (exercise price of $0.40 per share). In October 2013, the Company repaid $1,000,000 of the Musclepharm note and Musclepharm converted the remaining portion into 5,000,000 shares of common stock.

In October 2013, the Company issued shares of common stock to seven note holders upon conversion of approximately $600,000 of notes and $216,000 of accrued interest related to those notes.

In October 2013, the Company closed on the sale of 3,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in a private placement offering. The net proceeds to the Company were $3,410,100. The Company used a portion of the proceeds to pay off $1,800,000 of outstanding debt and payables. Additionally, as of November 14, 2013, the Company issued 7,381,865 shares of common stock to shareholders who purchased outstanding debt or payables owed by the Company.

On November 18, 2013, the holders of a $500,000 note converted it (and accrued interest) into shares of common stock. On November 15, 2013, Mr. Roberto Prego-Novo, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, converted a $100,000 secured convertible note (plus accrued interest) into shares of common stock. This note is one of the February 2012 Notes referred to in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Liquidity Considerations

As of November 15, 2013, the Company had approximately $1,042,000 of available cash. Assuming the Musclepharm APA closes, the Company will have no operations with minimal expenses and have 1,200,000 shares of Musclepharm stock of which 600,000 shares are not subject to a repurchase right by Musclepharm. The closing price of Musclepharm’s common stock was $0.57 on November 15, 2013. Additionally, the Company expects most holders of outstanding Notes will convert to common stock, and it will pay all of its liabilities.

Off–Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2013, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements.
