CIRTRAN CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CirTran Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”).  These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.  In particular, the Company’s significant accounting policies were presented as Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in that Annual Report.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and consist of only normal recurring adjustments.  The results of operations presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the 12 months ending December 31, 2013.

 

NOTE 2 - REALIZATION OF ASSETS

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company had a net loss of $432,480 and of $1,288,096 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  As of March 31, 2013, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $48,620,372.  In addition, the Company used cash in operations in the amount of $154,019 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and provided cash from operations in the amount of $27,342 during the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The Company also had a negative working capital balance of $25,710,611 as of March 31, 2013, and $26,458,490 as of December 31, 2012.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s ability to continue energy drink distribution, its principal source of revenue, is subject to interruption or termination because of ongoing disputes respecting the status of the Play Beverages, LLC, or PlayBev license to market Playboy-licensed energy drinks. The Company is continuing its suit against Playboy Enterprises, Inc., or Playboy in Illinois in an effort to enjoin Playboy’s termination of the license so the Company will be able to continue its beverage distribution segment. If the Playboy licensing dispute is not resolved satisfactorily through a negotiated settlement or litigation in such proceeding, PlayBev would be required to terminate its beverage distribution activities, which are currently the source of the Company’s principal revenues. Such termination may require the Company to cease its activities and seek protection from creditors.

 


6

 

 

 

In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraphs, recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financing requirements on a continuing basis, to maintain or replace present financing, to acquire additional capital from investors, and to succeed in its future operations.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

 

The Company believes that its beverage business segment has the potential to have a substantial impact on its overall business.  The Company plans to focus on the beverage business and the contract manufacturing business.  For the beverage business, the Company plans to sell existing products and develop new products under the license agreement with Playboy to a globally expanding market.  With regard to contract manufacturing, the Company’s goal is to provide customers with manufacturing solutions for both new and more mature products, as well as across product generations.

 

The Company provides product marketing services to the direct response and retail markets for both proprietary and nonproprietary products.  This segment provides campaign management and marketing services for the beverage distribution, direct response, and retail markets.  The Company intends to continue to provide marketing and media services to support its own product efforts and offer to customers marketing service in channels involving television, radio, print media, and the Internet.  The Company intends to serve the electronics assembly and manufacturing industries, although it anticipates that its focus will shift more to providing services on a subcontract basis.

NOTE 4 – RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Transactions Involving Officers, Directors, and Stockholders - In 2007, the Company appointed Fadi Nora to its Board of Directors.  In addition to compensation the Company normally pays to nonemployee members of the Board, Mr. Nora is entitled to a quarterly bonus equal to 0.5% of any gross sales earned by the Company directly through Mr. Nora’s efforts.  As of March 31, 2013, the Company owed $64,916 under this arrangement.  As of March 31, 2013, the Company owed Mr. Nora $1,040,829 in the form of unsecured advances.  These advances and short-term bridge loans were approved by the Board of Directors under a 5% borrowing fee.  The borrowing fees were waived by Mr. Nora on these loans.  In addition, the Company owed Mr. Nora $366,635 in accrued liabilities as of March 31, 2013, for selling, general, and administrative expenses that were paid for by Mr. Nora on a personal credit card.

The Company has agreed to issue 2,400,000 options to Mr. Nora as compensation for services provided as a Director of the Company.  The terms of the director agreement require the Company to grant to Mr. Nora options to purchase 2,400,000 shares of the Company’s stock each year, with the exercise price of the options being the market price of the Company’s common stock as of the grant date.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company accrued for 2,400,000 stock options relating to the director agreement with Mr. Nora.  The fair market value of the options was $4,069, using the following assumptions: 7.0-year term, estimated volatility of 224.82%, and a discount rate of 0.0% (see also Note 10).

 

In 2007, the Company issued a 10% promissory note to a family member of the Company President in exchange for $300,000.  The note was due on demand after May 2008.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company made no payments towards the outstanding note.  At March 31, 2013, the principal amount owing on the note was $151,833.  On March 31, 2008, the Company issued to this same family member, along with four other Company shareholders, promissory notes totaling $315,000.  The family member’s note was for $105,000.  Under the terms of all the notes, the Company received total proceeds of $300,000 and agreed to repay the amount received plus a 5% borrowing fee.  The notes were due April 30, 2008, after which they were due on demand, with interest accruing at 12% per annum.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company made no payments towards the outstanding notes.  The principal balance owing on the promissory notes as of March 31, 2013, totaled $72,465.

 

On April 2, 2009, the Company President and a Director of the Company borrowed from a third party a total of $890,000 in the form of four short-term promissory notes.  The Company President and the Director of the Company signed personally for the notes.  Because the loans were used to pay obligations of the Company, the Company has assumed full responsibility for the notes.  Two of the notes were for a term of 60 days, with a 60-day grace period; a third note was for a term of 90 days; and a fourth note was for 24 days.  Loan fees totaling $103,418 were incurred with the issuance of the notes and are payable upon maturity of the notes.  At March 31, 2013, these notes comprise a portion of short-term advances payable of $3,146,911.  As of March 31, 2013, all four notes were in default and are accruing interest at the default rate of 36% per year.

 

The Company has agreed to issue 6,000,000 options each year to the Company President as compensation for services provided as an officer of the Company.  The terms of the employment agreement require the Company to grant to the Company President options to purchase 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s stock each year, with the exercise price of the options being the market price of the Company’s common stock as of the grant date.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company accrued for 6,000,000 stock options relating to the employee agreement with Mr. Hawatmeh.  The fair market value of the options was $10,171, using the following assumptions: estimated 7.0-year term, estimated volatility of 224.82%, and a discount rate of 0.0% (see also Note 10).

 

As of March 31, 2013, the Company owed the Company President a total of $179,773 in short-term advances payable and 30,000,000 stock options with an aggregated fair value at time of grant of $154,537.  These advances and short-term bridge loans were approved by the Board of Directors under a 5% borrowing fee.  The borrowing fees were waived by the Company’s President on these loans.

 

Sublease - In an effort to operate more efficiently and focus resources on higher margin areas of the Company’s business, on March 5, 2010, the Company and Katana Electronics, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“Katana”), entered into certain agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”) to reduce the Company’s costs.  The Agreements include an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, an Equipment Lease, and a Sublease Agreement relating to the Company’s property.  Pursuant to the terms of the Sublease, the Company agreed to sublease a certain portion of the Company’s premises to Katana, consisting of the warehouse and office space used as of the close of business on March 4, 2010.  The term of the Sublease was for two months with automatic renewal periods of one month each.  The base rent under the Sublease is $8,500 per month.  The Sublease contains normal and customary use restrictions, indemnification rights and obligations, default provisions, and termination rights.  Under the Agreements signed, the Company continues to have rights to operate as a contract manufacturer in the future in the U.S. and offshore.  On July 1, 2011, Katana had assumed the full lease payment, and the Company agreed to pay Katana $5,000 per month for the use of office space and utilities.  The Company recorded a rent expense of $15,000 and $15,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation and Claims - Various vendors and service providers have notified the Company that they believe they have claims against the Company totaling approximately $2,250,000.  The Company has determined the probability of realizing any loss on these claims is remote.  The Company has made no accrual for these claims and is currently in the process of negotiating the dismissal of these claims.

 

Registration Rights Agreements - In connection with the Company’s issuance of convertible debentures to YA Global Investments, L.P., formerly known as Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. (“YA Global”), the Company granted to YA Global certain registration rights, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement to register the resale of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures.  The Company agreed to keep the registration statement effective until all of the shares issuable upon conversion of the debenture have been sold.  The Company has not accrued a liability for potential losses.

 

Previously, YA Global has agreed to extensions of the filing deadlines inherent in the terms of the convertible debentures mentioned above.  On January 24, 2011, the Company and YA Global entered into a forbearance agreement related to the convertible debentures issued by the Company to YA or its predecessor entities.

 

YA Global Forbearance Agreements - On September 25, 2010, YA Global filed a lawsuit against the Company asserting claims for breach of contract, breaches of the uniform commercial code, and replevin.  YA Global sought a judgment in the amount of $4,193,380, plus interest and attorneys fees, as well as a writ of replevin to compel the Company to turn over equipment and other property that YA Global claims was pledged as collateral to secure obligations owing to YA Global.

 

On January 24, 2011, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with YA Global, including a confession of judgment in its favor.  On February 23, 2011, the court entered judgment based on the confession of judgment against the Company in the principal amount of $3,161,354, plus interest of $825,858.

 

On July 22, 2011, YA Global filed a motion in the ABS lawsuit (discussed below) seeking an order clarifying its position with respect to ABS and staying enforcement of that court’s order that the Company pay approximately $35,000 in legal fees to ABS.  In its motion, YA Global notified the Company that it intended to conduct a secured party’s public auction of all of the Company’s assets.  YA Global also informed the Company that it had defaulted under the January 2011 Forbearance Agreement and declared that all of the Company’s obligations to YA Global were immediately due and owing.  Further, YA Global stated that it intended to commence action to collect on the Company’s obligations and instructed it to assemble its assets.

At a hearing held on August 3, 2011, in the ABS reorganization proceeding on YA Global’s motion to stay enforcement, YA Global noted that the date of the proposed secured party’s public auction was August 30, 2011.  At the same time, YA Global notified the Company that the proposed sale of assets would be held on August 30, 2011.

 

At the hearing in the ABS matter, the Bankruptcy Court denied YA Global’s motion to stay the payment of attorneys’ fees by the Company.  Subsequently, the parties to the January 2011 settlement with YA Global entered into an agreement whereby YA Global agreed to cancel the proposed asset sale without waiver.

 

On September 30, 2011, YA Global directed the Company to assemble the collateral in order to enable it to take possession on or before October 6, 2011.  Following negotiations with YA Global, the Company confirmed its indebtedness to YA Global and arranged for it to take possession of collateral on October 17, 2011, on which date, all accounts receivable, collections, and other proceeds and products of the collateral would be held in trust by the Company for YA Global and immediately forwarded to it.  Before the Company was required to surrender possession of the collateral, it initiated negotiations to obtain YA Global’s forbearance from collection.

 

On March 22, 2012, the Company entered into a formal forbearance agreement with YA Global, dated as of March 1, 2012 (the “2012 YA Global Forbearance Agreement”), in which it ratified its previous obligations under the debentures and agreed to pay the debentures under the following payment plan: $25,000 at signing the 2012 YA Global Forbearance Agreement, $25,000 per month in March through June 2012, $50,000 per month in July through September 2012, $75,000 in the months of October and November 2012, $100,000 per month in the months of December 2012 through May 2013, $125,000 per month in the months of June through December 2013, and the balance in December 2014 (the “Extended Termination Date”).  In addition to the above minimum payments to YA Global, the Company is required to pay monthly excess cash flow, to the extent cumulatively available, consisting of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, less cash deposits for product orders received but not yet shipped, actual cash taxes paid, actual cash principal and interest paid, and reasonable out-of-pocket cash paid together with reasonable cash reserves in an amount not to exceed 5% of total net sales, provided that such excess cash flow payments shall not to exceed $50,000 in March 2012 and $25,000 per month in April through September 2012.  

 

The Company continues to have the right, subject to the consent of YA Global, to pay all or any portion of the payments listed above in common stock, with the conversion price to be used to determine the number of shares being equal to the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s common stock during the 20 trading days prior to the payment date.  The amount applied as a payment on the note and accrued interest will be adjusted to the value of the actual proceeds from the sale of the stock by YA Global, less costs associated with the sale.

 

YA Global agreed to forbear from enforcing its rights and remedies as a result of the existing defaults and/or converting the debentures into shares of the Company’s common stock, until the earlier of the Company’s default under the 2012 YA Global Forbearance Agreement or the Extended Termination Date.

 

On February 22, 2013, the Company entered into a Ratification Agreement with YA Global (the “2013 Ratification Agreement”).  Under the 2013 Ratification Agreement, the
Company ratified the obligations under three existing Convertible Debentures dated
May 26, 2005, December 30, 2005, and August 23, 2006, and agreed to amend, restate, and consolidate the obligations evidenced thereby into a Consolidated Debenture. 

 

 

10

 

 

The 2013 Ratification Agreement also provides for a new payment schedule under the Consolidated Debenture that replaces the payment schedule that had been agreed to in a March 1, 2012, Forbearance Agreement among the parties.  Under the 2013 Ratification Agreement payment schedule, the Company is required to make monthly payments, to be applied first to accrued interest and then to principal, in the amount of $100,000 per month, commencing in April 2013.  The amount of the Company’s required monthly cash payment shall be reduced in an amount equal to the amount credited to the lender against the obligation as a result of the lender’s exercise of the right to convert the outstanding balance due under the debentures into common stock, as provided in the original convertible debentures as well as in the Consolidated Debenture.  Any amount credited against the debenture obligation in excess of $100,000 per month shall be credited against the amounts due in the next succeeding month.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company issued common stock valued at $387,836 towards the required payments.  

 

Delinquent Payroll Taxes, Interest, and Penalties - In November 2004, the IRS accepted the Company’s Amended Offer in Compromise (the “Offer”) to settle delinquent payroll taxes, interest, and penalties.  The acceptance of the Offer required the Company to pay $500,000.  Additionally, the Offer required the Company to remain current in its payment of taxes for five years and not claim any net operating losses for the years 2001 through 2015, or until the Company pays taxes on future profits in an amount equal to the taxes waived by the Offer of $1,455,767.  The Company has defaulted on the original agreement and is currently working with the IRS to pay the 2009 tax liabilities.

 

Disputed Account Payable - The Company is in disagreement with its former legal counsel over charges incurred and the amount due to this provider for billed services, charges and interest expense. The Company is vigorously working with this provider to settle the outstanding balance. Management assesses the likelihood to be remote that it will not be able to settle the balance at or below the currently accrued balance.

 

Employment Agreements - On August 1, 2009, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Hawatmeh, the Company’s President.  The term of the employment agreement continues until August 31, 2014, and automatically extends for successive one-year periods, with an annual base salary of $345,000.  The employment agreement also grants to Mr. Hawatmeh options to purchase a minimum of 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s stock each year, with the exercise price of the options being the market price of the Company’s common stock as of the grant date.  The employment agreement also provides for health insurance coverage, cell phone, car allowance, life insurance, and director and officer liability insurance, as well as any other bonus approved by the Board.  The employment agreement includes additional incentive compensation as follows: a quarterly bonus equal to 5% of the Company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization for the applicable quarter; bonus(es) equal to 1.0% of the net purchase price of any acquisitions completed by the Company that are directly generated and arranged by Mr. Hawatmeh; and an annual bonus (payable quarterly) equal to 1% of the gross sales, net of returns and allowances, of all beverage products of the Company and its affiliates for the most recent fiscal year.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred $10,171 and $5,582, respectively, of non-cash compensation expense related to accrual for employee stock options to be awarded per the employment contract with the president of the Company.

 

Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Hawatmeh’s employment may be terminated for cause or upon death or disability, in which event, the Company is required to pay Mr. Hawatmeh any unpaid base salary and unpaid earned bonuses.  In the event that Mr. Hawatmeh is terminated without cause, the Company is required to pay to Mr. Hawatmeh: (i) within 30 days following such termination, any benefit, incentive, or equity plan, program, or practice (the “Accrued Obligations”) paid when the bonus would have been paid Mr. Hawatmeh if employed; (ii) within 30 days following such termination (or on the earliest later date as may be required by Internal Revenue Code Section 409A to the extent applicable), a lump sum equal to 30 months of  annual base salary; (iii) bonus(es) owing under the employment agreement for the two-year period after the date of termination (net of an bonus amounts paid as Accrued Obligations) based on actual results for the applicable quarters and fiscal years; and (iv) within 12 months following such termination (or on the earliest later date as may be required by Internal Revenue Code Section 409A to the extent applicable), a lump sum equal to 30 months of annual base salary; provided that if Mr. Hawatmeh is terminated without cause in contemplation of, or within one year, after a change in control, then two times such annual base salary and bonus payment amounts.

 

11

 

 

 

On May 1, 2009, PlayBev, a consolidated variable interest entity, entered into compensation agreements with its managers, Mr. Hawatmeh and Mr. Nora.  The agreed compensation consists of a monthly fee of $10,000 for each manager, reimbursement of reasonable expenses on its behalf, and a car allowance for Mr. Nora of $1,000 per month to cover the cost of use, fuel, and repairs.  The Company has accrued $1,008,150 in compensation, which is included in related-party payables as of March 31, 2013.

 

Advanced Beauty Solutions, LLC - In connection with prior litigation with Advanced Beauty Solutions, or ABS, ABS claimed nonperformance by the Company and filed an adversary proceeding in its bankruptcy case proceeding in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California, San Fernando Valley Division.  On March 17, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court entered judgment in favor of ABS and against the Company in the amount of $1,811,667, plus interest.  On September 11, 2009, the Bankruptcy Court denied the Company’s motion to set aside the judgment. 

 

On September 8, 2010, the Company executed an Assignment of Copyrights, thereby assigning Copyright Registration No. TX-6-064-955, Copyright Registration No. TX-6-064-956, and Copyright to the True Ceramic Pro - Live Ops (TCPS) infomercial and related master tapes (collectively the “Copyrights”) to ABS, without reservation or exclusion, making ABS the owner of the Copyrights. 

 

On February 23, 2011, the Company filed a Motion to Declare Judgment Fully Satisfied or Alternatively to Recoup Mutual Debts, requesting that the court determine that its assignment of the Copyrights resulted in full satisfaction of the ABS judgment.  On March 3, 2011, ABS brought a Motion for Order to Show Cause re Civil Contempt alleging that the Company had failed to make payments on ABS’s judgment in violation of the court’s orders.  At the hearing on April 6, 2011, the court denied the motion to declare the judgment fully satisfied and granted ABS’s motion, but did not hold the Company in civil contempt.  The court also set a hearing on the ABS Motion for the Order to Show Cause for July 8, 2011, regarding the Company’s compliance with collection orders, which the parties stipulated should be postponed until August 3, 2011.  The parties attended mediation on July 11, 2011, but no formal settlement resulted.  At the hearing in August, the court found that a basis existed to hold the Company in contempt and set an evidentiary hearing for October 6, 2011, to determine whether to issue a contempt citation.  The Company appealed the denial of its motion to declare judgment satisfied. 

 

On March 22, 2012, the Company and ABS entered into a formal forbearance agreement, dated as of March 1, 2012 (the “ABS Forbearance Agreement”), whereby ABS agreed to take no further judgment enforcement actions in consideration of the payment of $25,000 upon execution of the definitive ABS Forbearance Agreement and satisfaction of applicable conditions precedent.  The ABS Forbearance Agreement calls for the Company to pay $7,500 per month for 46 consecutive months (except for a payment of $15,000 in December 2012), commencing in March 2012, with the unpaid balance, as finally determined as provided below, due and payable in January 2016.  No interest on the principal would accrue unless the note is in default, in which case, it would bear interest at 10% per annum from the date of the ABS Forbearance Agreement.  In addition, the Company stipulated to an additional judgment for attorney’s fees incurred in negotiating the ABS Forbearance Agreement and entering into the related definitive agreements and in related post-judgment collection efforts.  The obligation to pay $1,835,000 under the ABS Forbearance Agreement would be secured by an encumbrance on all of the Company’s assets, subject to a prior lien and encumbrance in favor of YA Global. 

 

12

 

 

The principal amount of $1,835,000 due under the ABS Forbearance Agreement would be reduced by the greater of the amount of credit granted in the bankruptcy proceedings for the value of the intellectual property the Company previously conveyed to ABS and the amount received by ABS from the sale of such intellectual property to a third party during the term of the ABS Forbearance Agreement, plus the amount of any distribution to which the Company is entitled as a creditor of ABS, provided, however, that in no event would the amount due under the ABS Forbearance Agreement be reduced below $90,000, which is the amount payable during the first 12 months under the ABS Forbearance Agreement.  ABS entered into a subordination agreement subordinating the obligation under the ABS Forbearance Agreement in favor of the obligations and first-priority security interest of YA Global.  The Company conveyed to ABS the trademarks and intellectual property previously conveyed by ABS to the Company. 

 

The Company’s appeal of the approximately $1.8 million judgment has been remanded in the ABS bankruptcy proceedings to conclusively determine the amount of credit due the Company for the conveyance of the intellectual property.  Except for the determination of the fair market value of the intellectual property and any enforcement or collection proceedings that may be required under the ABS Forbearance Agreement, all litigation and disputes between ABS and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company and its affiliates, on the other hand, would be dismissed, including the pending order to show cause regarding contempt against the Company, its subsidiaries, and its President. 

 

The Company has assigned to ABS its creditor claim against the estate of ABS, to the extent of the balance due under the ABS Forbearance Agreement.  Any distribution from the ABS estate in excess of the adjusted amounts due under the ABS Forbearance Agreement will be paid to the Company.  Pending the determination of the amount of the credit due for the value of the intellectual property conveyed, the Company accrued a balance of $90,000 for the minimum required payment under the ABS Forbearance Agreement.  It is reasonably possible that this estimate may change in the near future based on the events of the ABS settlement.

 

The Company entered into a forbearance agreement with ABS on March 1, 2012.  As part of that agreement, among other things, the Company agreed to a settlement amount that is to be reduced by any distribution to which the Company was entitled as a creditor of ABS. Under the ABS Forbearance Agreement the minimum amount due ABS is $90,000, which is the amount payable during the first 12 months under the ABS Forbearance Agreement. The Company accrued $90,000 as of December 31, 2011 and made payments of $45,000. The royalty accrual as of March 31, 2013 was $45,000.

 

NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE

 

In February 2012, the Company issued an 18% interest, 90-day, $30,000 promissory note to an investor.  The principal balance included a $5,000 borrowing fee.  The promissory note along with accrued interest was converted to 32,000,000 shares of stock in January 2013.  There was no outstanding balance as of March 31, 2013.

 

NOTE 7 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company has financial instruments that are considered derivatives or contain embedded features subject to derivative accounting.  Embedded derivatives are valued separately from the host instrument and are recognized as derivative liabilities in the Company’s balance sheet.  The Company measures these instruments at their estimated fair value and recognizes changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change.  The Company has estimated the fair value of these embedded

 

13


 

derivatives for convertible debentures and associated warrants using a multinomial lattice model as of March 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, and used the Black-Scholes model prior to that.  The fair values of the derivative instruments are measured each quarter.  As of March 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, the fair market value of the derivatives aggregated $458,475 and $829,090, respectively.

 

NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

For asset and liabilities measured at fair value, the Company uses the following hierarchy of inputs:

 

·         Level one -- Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

·         Level two -- Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

 

·         Level three -- Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

 

Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2013, are summarized as follows:

NOTE 9 - STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

 

The Company’s stockholders’ deficit increased by $105,576 as a result of the net loss attributable to CirTran Corporation for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  Noncontrolling interest in consolidated subsidiaries increased stockholders’ deficit by $326,904 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, due to the operating losses of the non-controlling subsidiary.

 

Loss Per Share - Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period.  Diluted loss per share is similarly calculated, except that the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding would include common shares that may be issued subject to existing rights with dilutive potential when applicable.  The Company had 4,313,029,000 and 4,401,029,000 in potentially issuable common shares at March 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012, respectively.  These potentially issuable common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because the effects were antidilutive.

The Company currently has an insufficient number of authorized shares to enable warrant holders to fully exercise their warrants, assuming all warrants holders desired to do so.  Accordingly, the warrants are subject to derivative accounting treatment and are included in the derivative liability related to the convertible debentures (see Note 8).

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

 

Sales and Cost of Sales

 

Net sales increased to $868,152 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $618,700 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The increase is primarily attributable to our ability to manage the disruption we experienced in 2012 and into 2013 with the unexpected bankruptcy proceedings initiated against PlayBev, the continuing uncertainty created by Playboy in relation to the interference with our beverage distributors, and defending against numerous lawsuits.  Disputes respecting the status of the PlayBev license to market Playboy-licensed energy drinks resulted in lower revenues in 2011 that we struggled to improve in 2012 and into 2013.

 

Cost of sales, including royalty expense, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 31% from 123% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012, respectively.  Consequently, the gross profit margin increased to 69% from 23%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The increase in gross profit margin is attributable to an increase in revenues from royalty agreements that have an overall lower cost.

 

The following charts present comparisons of sales, cost of sales, and gross profits generated by our two operating segments, beverage distribution and contract manufacturing during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $94,973 to $833,452 from $738,479 for the same period during 2012.  The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was driven primarily by an increase in legal fees of $139,456, a decrease of salaries expenses of $129,136, an increase in consulting expense of $78,032, a increase in manager fees of $60,000, a decrease of travel and entertainment expenses of $6,805, a decrease in sales commission expense of $34,401, a decrease in outside contract services expense of $20,919, and a increase in accounting fees of $17,972.

 

Noncash Compensation Expense

 

Compensation expense in connection with accounting for options owed or granted to employees to purchase common stock was $29,872 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to $26,001 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as a result of the employee stock options accrued for per the respective employment agreements.

 

Other Income and Expense

 

Interest expense recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations combines both accretion expense and interest expense.  The combined interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013, was $209,495, as compared to $255,661 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a decrease of 18%.  The decrease in the combined interest expense was driven by the reduction in accretion expense recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

 

We recorded a gain of $5,844 on our derivative valuation for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to a gain of $133,605 recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The swing in the derivative valuation is primarily the result of the change in estimating the fair value of convertible debentures and associated warrants from using the Black-Scholes model to a multinomial lattice model, together with the varying market values of our common stock.

 

We recorded a gain of $38,352 on our settlement of debt for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  This was a result of settling payable, accrued liabilities and debt for equity.  See Note 14 – Capital Stock in the notes to the unaudited financial statements above for more details.

 

As a result of these factors, our overall net loss decreased to $432,480 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to net loss of $1,288,096 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The net loss attributable to us was $105,576 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, and a net loss of $326,904 was attributable to a noncontrolling equity interest in PlayBev.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have had a history of losses from operations, as our expenses have been greater than our revenues.  Our accumulated deficit was $48,620,372 at March 31, 2013, and $48,514,796 at December 31, 2012.  Our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $25,710,611 as of March 31, 2013, and by $26,458,490 as of December 31, 2012. 

 


 

Cash

 

The amount of cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013, increased by $181,361, driven primarily by deferred revenue. The amount of cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013, increased by $332,982, driven primarily from conversion of debt to equity.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Trade accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, decreased $79,183 during the three months ended March 31, 2013.  We continue to monitor individual customer accounts and are working to improve collections on trade accounts receivable.  We eliminate the receivables associated with PlayBev as part of consolidation in accordance with GAAP treatment as a variable interest entity.

 

Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, advances payable, interest payable, and short-term debt increased by $72,413 to a combined balance of $16,260,662 as of March 31, 2013.  The increase includes an increase of $9,090 in accrued liabilities, a $104,165 decrease in interest payable, an increase of $99,071 in accrued payroll and compensation, and a $51,262 decrease in accounts payable.  The increase in accounts payable activity is a result of continued PlayBev-related services performed during the year for beverage development, distribution, marketing, and legal services.  At March 31, 2013, we owed $3,146,912 to various investors from whom we had borrowed funds in the form of either unsecured or short-term advances.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have had a history of losses from operations, as our expenses have been greater than our revenues.   We had an accumulated deficit of $48,620,372 along with a total stockholders’ deficit of $15,593,539 at March 31, 2013.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we used net cash of $154,109.   During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we provided $27,342 in cash in operations.  During the three months ended March 31, 2013, our monthly operating costs and interest expense averaged approximately $357,000 per month.

 

In conjunction with our efforts to improve our results of operations, we are also actively seeking infusions of capital from investors and are seeking sources to repay our existing convertible debentures.  In our current financial condition and with ongoing activities substantially dependent on the outcome of the Playboy litigation, it is unlikely that we will be able to obtain additional debt financing.  Even if we did acquire additional debt, we would be required to devote additional cash flow to servicing the debt and securing the debt with assets.  Accordingly, we are looking to obtain equity financing to meet our anticipated capital needs.  We cannot assure that we will be successful in obtaining such capital.  If we issue additional shares for debt and/or equity, this will dilute the value of our common stock and existing shareholders’ positions.

 

We cannot assure that we will be successful in obtaining more debt and/or equity financing in the future or that our results of operations will materially improve in either the short or the long term.  If we fail to obtain such financing and improve our results of operations, we will be unable to meet our obligations as they become due.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Convertible Debentures

 

2011 YA Forbearance Agreement

 

As of December 31, 2010, we had outstanding convertible debentures issued during previous periods to YA Global with an aggregate outstanding balance of $3,161,355, including accrued interest of $991,329, that were then in default.  In January 2011, we and YA Global entered into a forbearance agreement and related agreements (the “2011 YA Forbearance Agreement”).

 

In the 2011 YA Forbearance Agreement, we ratified our previous obligations under the debentures; provided the guaranty of our president, Iehab Hawatmeh, secured by one-half of his interest in PlayBev; provided a confession of judgment in litigation by YA Global against Katana, to which we had transferred certain collateral pledged to YA Global; and issued a new warrant to purchase 25,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.02 per share, expiring December 2015.

 

Additionally, we agreed to pay the debentures, $225,000 at signing the 2011 YA Forbearance Agreement ($75,000 to be applied to transaction costs), $75,000 per month for February through April 2011, $200,000 per month for May through December 2011, and the balance on December 31, 2011 (the “2011 Termination Date”).

 

We had the right, subject to the consent of YA Global, to pay all or any portion of the payments listed above in common stock, with the conversion price to be used to determine the number of shares being equal to 85% of the lowest closing bid price of our common stock during the 10 trading days prior to the payment date.  The amount applied as a payment on the note and accrued interest would be adjusted to the value of the actual proceeds from the sale of the stock.

 

YA Global agreed to forbear from enforcing its rights and remedies as a result of the existing defaults and/or converting the debentures into shares of our common stock, until the earlier of our default under the 2011 YA Agreement or the 2011 Termination Date.

 

The summaries of the terms and conditions of the 2011 YA Forbearance Agreement and the other agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements, which are incorporated in this report.

 

Default and 2012 YA Global Forbearance Agreement

 

We made our required payments through March 1, 2011, as required under the 2011 YA Forbearance Agreement, but thereafter did not make additional payments.  Following such defaults, YA Global initiated steps to proceed to execute on, take possession of, and sell at auction all of our assets, which had been encumbered to secure our obligations under the debentures.  We negotiated extensions of such execution efforts while we also sought to negotiate another formal forbearance agreement with YA Global.

 

On March 22, 2012, we entered into a formal forbearance agreement with YA Global, dated as of March 1, 2012 (the “2012 YA Global Forbearance Agreement”), in which we ratified our previous obligations under the debentures and agreed to pay the debentures, $25,000 at signing the 2012 YA Global Forbearance Agreement, $25,000 per month in March through June 2012, $50,000 per month in July through September 2012, $75,000 in the months of October and November 2012, $100,000 per month in the months of December 2012 through May 2013, $125,000 per month in the months of June through December 2013, and the balance in December 2014 (the “Extended Termination Date”).  In addition to the above minimum payments to YA Global, we were required to pay monthly excess cash flow, to the extent cumulatively available, consisting of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, less cash deposits for product orders received but not yet shipped, actual cash taxes paid, actual cash principal and interest paid, and reasonable out-of-pocket cash paid together with reasonable cash reserves in an amount not to exceed 5% of total net sales, provided that such excess cash flow payments did not exceed $50,000 in March 2012 and $25,00 per month in April 2012 and thereafter, until the balance was paid.

We continued to have the right, subject to the consent of YA Global, to pay all or any portion of the payments listed above in common stock, with the conversion price to be used to determine the number of shares being equal to the lowest closing bid price of our common stock during the 20 trading days prior to the payment date.  The amount applied as a payment on the note and accrued interest would be adjusted to the value of the actual proceeds from the sale of the stock.

 

YA Global agreed to forbear from enforcing its rights and remedies as a result of the existing defaults and/or converting the debentures into shares of our common stock, until the earlier of our default under the 2012 YA Global Forbearance Agreement or the Extended Termination Date.

 

On February 22, 2013, we entered into a Ratification Agreement with YA Global (the “2013 Ratification Agreement”).  Under the 2013 Ratification Agreement, we ratified the obligations under three existing Convertible Debentures dated May 26, 2005, December 30, 2005, and August 23, 2006, and agreed to amend, restate, and consolidate the obligations evidenced thereby into a Consolidated Debenture. 

 

The 2013 Ratification Agreement also provides for a new payment schedule under the Consolidated Debenture that replaces the payment schedule that had been agreed to in the 2012, YA Global Forbearance Agreement among the parties.  Under the 2013 Ratification Agreement payment schedule, we are required to make monthly payments, to be applied first to accrued interest and then to principal, in the amount of $100,000 per month, commencing in April 2013.  The amount of our required monthly cash payment shall be reduced in an amount equal to the amount credited to the lender against the obligation as a result of the lender’s exercise of the right to convert the outstanding balance due under the debentures into common stock, as provided in the original convertible debentures as well as in the Consolidated Debenture.  Any amount credited against the debenture obligation in excess of $100,000 per month shall be credited against the amounts due in the next succeeding month.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we issued common stock valued at $387,836 towards the required payments.  

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized when products are shipped.  Title passes to the customer or independent sales representative at the time of shipment.  Returns for defective items are repaired and sent back to the customer.  Historically, expenses associated with returns have not been significant and have been recognized as incurred.

 

Shipping and handling fees are included as part of net sales.  The related freight costs and supplies directly associated with shipping products to customers are included as a component of cost of goods sold.

 

23


 

We have entered into a Manufacturing, Marketing and Distribution Agreement with PlayBev, a consolidated variable interest entity, whereby we are the vendor of record in providing initial development, promotional, marketing, and distribution services.  Accordingly, all amounts billed to PlayBev in connection with the development and marketing of its new energy drink have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Financial Instruments with Derivative Features - We do not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. However, we have financial instruments that are considered derivatives or contain embedded features subject to derivative accounting. Embedded derivatives are valued separately from the host instrument and are recognized as derivative liabilities in our balance sheet. We measure these instruments at their estimated fair value and recognize changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change. We have estimated the fair value of these embedded derivatives using the Multinomial Lattice model. The fair value of the derivative instruments is measured each quarter, with the change recorded in earnings.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not required.

 

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer / Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of March 31, 2013.  Based on our evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer / Chief Financial Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at March 31, 2013, due to the fact that the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, had not been remediated as of March 31, 2013.

 

These weaknesses are continuing.  Management and the Board of Directors are aware of these weaknesses that result because of limited resources and staff.  Efforts to design and implement controls and processes have been put on hold due to limited resources, but we anticipate a renewed focus on this effort in the near future.  Due to our limited financial and managerial resources, we cannot assure when we will be able to implement effective internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the first quarter of 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
