Notes to the CONDENSED Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

 

Note 1: Organization and Basis of Presentation

 

Background

 

On December 14, 2009, America’s Suppliers, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. America’s Suppliers, Inc. is an internet-based provider of general merchandise through its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), DollarDays International, Inc. (“DollarDays”) and WowMyUniverse Inc. (“Wow”). DollarDays is a wholesaler of general merchandise to small independent resellers through its website www.DollarDays.com. Wow targets general consumers through its website WowMyUniverse.com. Orders are placed by customers through the Company’s websites where, upon successful payment, the merchandise is shipped directly from the vendors’ warehouse.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The accounting policies are described in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in the 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K and updated, as necessary, in this Form 10-Q. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data presented for comparative purposes was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or for any other subsequent interim period.

 

A reclassification has been made to the statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2012. There was no change to previously reported stockholders’ equity or net loss.

 

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized when the four criteria for revenue recognition are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) shipment or delivery has occurred; (3) the price is fixed or determinable and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.    Cash payments received in advance of product shipment are deferred as reflected as a deferred revenue liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  Allowances for sales returns and discounts are recorded as a component of revenues in the period the allowances are recognized.

 

All amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs are included in revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.  Actual shipping costs incurred are reflected as a component of cost of goods sold in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.  Total shipping expense included in cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $413,909 and $417,253, respectively.

 

The Company has evaluated the provisions of ASC 605-45 regarding reporting revenue gross as a principal or net as an agent, noting that the task force determined that it is a matter of judgment and a preponderance of the evidence as to whether a company satisfies the gross versus net indicators.  As a result of its analysis, the Company has determined that it qualifies for “gross” revenue recognition.

 

Advertising revenue is recognized as the service is provided on our website in accordance with the terms of the advertising arrangement.

 

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable represent amounts earned but not collected in connection with the Company’s revenues. Trade receivables are carried at their estimated collectible amounts and generally consist of amounts due from credit card transactions.

 

The Company follows the allowance method of recognizing uncollectible accounts receivable. The allowance method recognizes bad debt expense as a percentage of accounts receivable based on a review of individual accounts outstanding, and prior history of uncollected accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $0 as the Company expected to collect substantially all amounts due. Bad debt expense (recovery) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $8,708 and ($12,792), respectively.

 

The Company follows the allowance method of recognizing sales returns. The allowance method recognizes sales returns as a percentage of sales based on a prior history of sales returns. The allowance for sales returns at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $0. Sales returns expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $57,415 and $97,819, respectively.

 

Note 3: Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value measurements are performed in accordance with the guidance provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset, or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or parameters are not available, valuation models are applied.

 

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the financial statements are categorized based upon the hierarchy of levels of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.

 

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supportable by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.

 

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit, short term receivables and payables, and a line of credit.  The carrying value of these instruments approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments.   The Company used inputs that would qualify as Level 2 inputs to make its assessment of the approximate fair value of the line of credit.

 

Note 4: Line of Credit

 

The Company has a $150,000 revolving line of credit with a financial institution. The line of credit has no stated maturity date and interest payments are due monthly at an annual rate of 6.5%. On March 22, 2013, the Company borrowed $50,000 under the terms thereof.  As of March 31, 2012, the balance outstanding on the line of credit was $50,000.   No interest expense was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

 

 

Note 5: Equity Compensation

 

Stock Options

 

The Company has historically granted stock options to certain vendors and employees and in connection with certain financing transactions.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity during the three months ended March 31, 2013:

 

		Number of Units				Weighted- Average Exercise Price				Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)				Aggregate Intrinsic Value

Vested and exerciseable at March 31, 2013 and expected to vest thereafter			937,977			$	0.24				3.1			$	-

 

The Company recognized expense of $2,032 and $4,150 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to stock option awards. The Company’s future expense relating to unvested option awards (net of estimated forfeitures) is $6,880 as of March 31, 2013, and will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.2 years.

 

The following table sets forth exercise prices of outstanding options at March 31, 2013.

 

Exercise		Number of Shares
Price		Outstanding				Exerciseable
$0.15-$0.20			991,086				768,640
$3.71 - $7.50			6,000				6,000
$26.80			1,000				1,000
			998,086				775,640

 

A summary of the status of the Company’s nonvested shares as of March 31, 2013, and changes during the three months ended March 31, 2013, is presented below:

 

Nonvested Shares		Shares				Weighted- Average Grant- Date Fair Value
December 31, 2012			250,826			$	0.062
Vested			(28,200	)			0.007
March 31, 2013			222,626			$	0.062

 

 

Warrants

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, there was no warrant activity. The following table sets forth details regarding outstanding warrants at March 31, 2013:

 

		Number of Units				Weighted- Average Exercise Price				Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)				Intrinsic value
Outstanding at March 31, 2013			1,722,628			$	0.41				0.9			$	42,757
Exerciseable at March 31, 2013			1,722,628			$	0.41				0.9			$	42,757

 

The following table sets forth exercise prices of outstanding warrants at March 31, 2013:

 

Exercise Price		Number of Shares
$0.10			855,145
$0.18			150,000
$0.20			300,000
$1.20 - $1.30			417,483
			1,722,628

 

Note 6: Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and excludes any potential dilution. Diluted loss per share reflects potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of securities into common stock. As the Company reported a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the incremental shares from assumed conversions of the Company’s potentially dilutive securities are not included in computing diluted net loss for those periods, as the effect would be anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic net loss per common share is equal to diluted net loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

The following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive:

 

		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2013				2012
Stock options			998,086				1,054,288
Warrants			1,722,628				1,722,628

 

 

Item 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Forward-Looking Information

 

Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “America’s Suppliers,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to America’s Suppliers, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

 

The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical fact are forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995), within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which include statements regarding our plans, strategies, objectives, expectations, intentions and resources. The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “intend,” “plan,” “could,” “is likely,” or “anticipates,” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company wishes to caution the reader that these forward-looking statements are not historical facts but only predictions. No assurances can be given that the future results indicated, whether expressed or implied, will be achieved. While sometimes presented with numerical specificity, these projections and other forward-looking statements are based upon a variety of assumptions relating to the business of the Company, which, although considered reasonable by the Company, may not be realized. Because of the number and range of assumptions underlying the Company’s projections and forward-looking statements, many of which are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies that are beyond the reasonable control of the Company, some of the assumptions inevitably will not materialize, and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur subsequent to the date of this report. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and the Company assumes no obligation to update this information. Therefore, the actual experience of the Company and the results achieved during the period covered by any particular projections or forward-looking statements may differ substantially from those projected. Consequently, the inclusion of projections and other forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that these estimates and projections will be realized, and actual results may vary materially. There can be no assurance that any of these expectations will be realized or that any of the forward-looking statements contained herein will prove to be accurate.

 

The following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes is relevant for an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition.  The following selected financial information should be read in conjunction with our audited historical consolidated financial statements which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 7, 2013, and the forward-looking statements explanation included herein.

 

Overview

 

We develop software programs that allow us to provide general merchandise for resale to businesses through our website at www.DollarDays.com.  We have been recognized as a leader in the Internet wholesale market of discounted merchandise by a leading business periodical and trade associations.  Our objective is to provide a one-stop discount shopping destination for general merchandise for smaller distributors, retailers and non-profits nationwide seeking single and small cased-sized lots at bulk prices.  We launched our first website in October 2001.  The site offers customers an opportunity to shop for bargains conveniently, while offering our suppliers an alternative sales channel.  We believe our website offers a unique benefit to smaller businesses in that they are able to purchase goods from wholesalers and importers in single and small case lots, with no minimum purchase requirements at discounted prices.  We believe the prevailing reason our business has been able to obtain bulk pricing for single case lots is our ability to reach smaller distributors, retailers and non-profits that most general merchandise suppliers cannot economically reach. We provide all the logistics and customer support to serve this sales channel and grow our customer base.

 

We continually add new, limited inventory products to our website in order to create an atmosphere that encourages customers to visit frequently and purchase products before the inventory sells out.  Through our Internet catalog, we offer approximately 230,000 products, including up to 25,000 closeout items at further discounted prices.  Closeout merchandise is typically available in inconsistent quantities and prices.

 

 

We accept orders, either online or via telephone sales staff, collect payment in the form of credit or debit card, PayPal or similar means, and coordinate with manufacturers, importers and close-out specialists regarding delivery particulars.  PayPal refers to the online payment platform located at www.paypal.com and its localized counterparts.  Our proprietary software and service procedures allow us to sell merchandise to a single customer, and bill as a singer order, items purchased and delivered from multiple suppliers.  We do not take possession of inventory, but we are responsible for processing customer claims and returns.

 

Our website has a registered base of approximately 230,000 small businesses and receives approximately 3 million monthly page views.  We receive an average of approximately 5,000 orders per month.  Our target audience is smaller businesses and not-for-profit companies.

 

During 2010, we established a majority-owned subsidiary, WowMyUniverse.com to develop a retail online business to sell directly to consumers. On October 1, 2010, this subsidiary became wholly owned as we acquired the non-controlling interest in exchange for our interest in an unconsolidated subsidiary. While we experienced limited sales through test marketing in early 2011, we began full operations in the second half of 2011. Net losses from WowMyUniverse.com were $11,828 and $33,515 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively.

  

Results of Operations

 

Revenue

 

Revenue		2013				2012				Change from Prior Year				Percent Change  from Prior Year
Three months ended March 31,		$	3,094,349			$	3,344,979			$	(250,630	)			(7.5	)%

  

Revenues decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012 as a result of a smaller average order sizes for the three months ended March 31, 2013, which we believe to be correlated to the state of the economy.

 

Advertising Revenue

 

Advertising Revenue		2013				2012				Change from Prior Year				Percent Change  from Prior Year
Three months ended March 31,			138,028				118,857			$	19,171				16.1	%

  

Advertising revenues increased during the three months March 31, 2013 as compared to the three ended March 31, 2012, due primarily to the hiring of an advertising specialist who is aggressively pursuing advertisers.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of Goods Sold		2013				2012				Change from Prior Year				Percent Change from Prior Year
Three months ended March 31,		$	2,050,427			$	2,204,026			$	(153,599	)			(7.0	)%

  

Cost of goods sold decreased during the three months March 31, 2013 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012 due primarily to the decrease in net revenues as discussed above. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue, excluding advertising revenue, was 38.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to 37.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

 

Factors which may influence the cost of goods sold include our general sales volumes, negotiated terms with vendors and general economic conditions.

 

  

Sales and Marketing

 

Sales and Marketing		2013				2012				Change from Prior Year				Percent Change from Prior Year
Three months ended March 31,		$	779,145			$	748,492			$	30,653				4.1	%

  

Sales and marketing expenses include fees for attracting users to our site, including search engine optimization, telemarketing and other marketing efforts as well as promotional activities to increase sales by end users. Sales and marketing expenses increased in the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012 due to an increase in sales salaries, offset by a decrease in marketing promotion costs.

 

Factors influencing sales and marketing expenses include strategic decisions with respect to the cost-effectiveness of each of our marketing activities.

 

General and Administrative

 

General and Administrative		2013				2012				Change from Prior Year				Percent Change from Prior Year
Three months ended March 31,		$	657,125			$	556,177			$	100,948				18.2	%

  

General and administrative expenses include management fees, salaries and other compensation expenses, rent, utilities, general office expenses, insurance and other costs necessary to conduct business operations. General and administrative expenses increased in the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012, due primarily to an increase in labor related expense, offset by a decrease in rent expense due to a successful negotiation of our existing lease for our business headquarters.

 

Factors that influence the amount of general and administrative expenses include the amount and extent by which we compensate our consultants, executives and directors with stock-based or other compensation, the rate of growth of our business and the extent to which we outsource or bring certain activities in-house.

Net Loss

 

Net Loss		2013				2012				Change from Prior Year				Percent Change  from Prior Year
Three months ended March 31,		$	(254,263	)		$	(43,818	)		$	(210,445	)			480.3	%

 

The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased as compared to the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012, due primarily due to a decrease in net revenues and an increase in sales and marketing costs and general and administrative costs, each of which is described above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our operating cash outflows were $686,032 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to outflows of $322,362 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, constituting an increase in cash used by operations of $363,670. The change in net operating cash outflows is attributable to an increase in net loss of $210,445 and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $294,613, partially offset by an increase in cash flows related to prepaid and other current assets of $169,147 and other minor changes in non-cash charges and operating assets and liabilities.

 

 

Investing cash outflows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 consisted of $6,496 of purchases of equipment to support our business operations. Investing cash inflows for the three months ended March 31, 2012 consisted of $199,996 of cash received from the maturities of certificates of deposit, offset by $21,003 of purchases of equipment and website development costs.

 

Financing cash inflows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 consisted of $50,000 of proceeds from our line of credit to support our business operations. There were no financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

 

We intend to generate operating cash flows through the growth of our existing business, the improvement of operating margins and by growth through acquisitions. Although there can be no assurance, management believes such measures will provide enough liquidity to operate our current business and continue as a going concern in the short term.

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements at March 31, 2013.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed with an objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls are also designed with an objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, in order to allow timely consideration regarding required disclosures.

 

The evaluation of our disclosure controls by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer included a review of the controls’ objectives and design, the operation of the controls, and the effect of the controls on the information presented in this Quarterly Report. Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that disclosure controls can or will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud, if any. Also, projections of any evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures to future periods are subject to the risk that the disclosure controls and procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Based on their review and evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
