Notes to Condensed Financial Statements

September 30, 2014 

 

NOTE 1 – BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Overview

 

MOJO Organics, Inc. (“MOJO” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on August 2, 2007.  Headquartered in Jersey City, NJ, the Company engages in the product development, production, marketing and distribution of CHIQUITA TROPICALS™.  CHIQUITA TROPICALS™ are 100% fruit juices, produced under license agreement from Chiquita Brands L.L.C. (“Chiquita”).  The Company currently produces four flavors: Banana Strawberry, Mango, Passion Fruit and Pineapple.

 

CHIQUITA TROPICALS™ first became commercially available in the New York tri-state area and on Amazon.com in late July 2013.  In February, 2014, the Company expanded its sales to the west coast, New England and Central America.  To grow its sales, the Company utilizes food brokers and distributors as well as selling direct to certain large retail chain stores.

 

Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q  and article 10 of Regulation S-X and the related rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures included in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited interim condensed financial statements included in this document have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements, and in the Company’s opinion, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with GAAP and SEC regulations for interim financial statements. The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that the Company will have for any subsequent period. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes to those statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in the Company’s Annual  Report on Form 10-K.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

The condensed financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP. Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents include investment instruments and time deposits purchased with a maturity of three months or less.

 

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. When necessary, the Company provides allowances to adjust the carrying value of its inventories to the lower of cost or net realizable value.

 

Supplier Deposits

Supplier Deposits consist of prepaid inventory for which the Company has not yet taken delivery.

 

Property and Equipment and Depreciation

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over the estimated useful life of the respective assets.  Computer equipment is depreciated over a period of 3 - 5 years.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.  When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss is credited or charged to income.  At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, accumulated depreciation related to property and equipment was $4,646 and $1,553, respectively.

 

Preferred Stock Classification

Preferred Stock issued by the Company which meets certain redemption or conversion features is classified as temporary or mezzanine capital in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) topic 480, “ Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity .”

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from sales of products are recognized at the time of delivery when title and risk of loss passes to the customer.  Recognition of revenue also requires reasonable assurance of collection of sales proceeds.

 

F- 5

 

Deductions from Revenue

Costs incurred for sales incentives and discounts are accounted for as a reduction in revenue.  These costs include payments to customers for performing merchandising activities on our behalf, including in-store displays, promotions for new items and obtaining optimum shelf space. 

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and Handling Costs incurred to move finished goods from our sales distribution centers to customer locations are included in the line selling, general and administrative expenses in our Statements of Operations.

 

Net Loss Per Common Share

The Company computes per share amounts in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “ Earnings per Share ”.  ASC Topic 260 requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS.  Basic EPS is computed by dividing the income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the periods. The conversion of Series A Preferred Stock and options was excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The loss for the period would have had an anti-dilutive impact on the Company’s net loss per common share.

 

The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of weighted average shares outstanding for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, as they would have had an anti-dilutive impact on the Company’s net loss per common share:

    2014  

2013

Shares underlying options outstanding 830,000   210,000
Shares underlying warrants outstanding 1,114,776   -
Total 1,944,776   210,000
         

 

 

Start-Up Costs

In accordance with ASC topic 720-15, “ Start-Up Costs ,” the Company charges all costs associated with its start-up operations to income as incurred.

 

Income Taxes

The Company provides for income taxes under ASC topic 740, “ Income Taxes ,” which requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. ASC Topic 740 also requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Tax returns for the years from 2009 to 2013 are subject to examination by tax authorities.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

ASC Topic 718, “ Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, warrants, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights.

 

ASC Topic 718 requires employee compensation expense to be recorded using the fair value method. The Company accounts for employee stock based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718. For non-employee options and warrants, the company uses the fair value method as prescribed in ASC Topic 718.

 

Derivative Instruments

The Company’s derivative liabilities are related to embedded conversion features issued in connection with the Series A Preferred Stock. For derivative instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates and the value is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period, in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “ Derivatives and Hedging .” Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheets as current or non-current based upon whether or not the net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, which include accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt obligations approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature and/or variable interest rates. The Company’s debt obligations bear interest at rates which approximate prevailing market rates for instruments with similar characteristics and, accordingly, the carrying values for these instruments approximate fair value.

 

F- 6

 

The Company adopted ASC Topic 820, “ Fair Value Measurement ,” which established a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.  ASC Topic 820 defines fair value as the amount that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 also 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. ASC Topic 820 describes the following three levels of inputs that may be used:

 

  · Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical,, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
  · Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
  · Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

 

The Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013. The Company did not have any fair value adjustments for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the periods ended September 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-12, “ Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718); Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period”. The amendments in this ASU apply to all reporting entities that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period must be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718 as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. For all entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015.  Earlier adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-12 on the Company's financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update “ASU” 2014-15 on “Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) – Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued).

 

The amendments in this Update are effective for public and nonpublic entities for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-15 on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN

 

The Company's financial statements are prepared using GAAP applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $3,941,648.  As of September 30, 2014, the Company had accumulated losses of $17,063,370, which includes accumulated losses from discontinued operations of $8,576,094.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully obtain and retain customers in order to achieve profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

NOTE 4 – INVENTORY

 

As of September 30, 2014, inventory consisted of finished goods of $358,920 and raw materials of $169,765.  At December 31, 2013, the inventory balance of $87,805 consisted of raw materials.

 

NOTE 5 – SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

 

On January 12, 2013, the Company entered into an amended and restated securities purchase agreement for the offer and sale of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 (“Series A Preferred Stock”) at a price of $4.00 per share.  In connection with the private sale of its Series A Preferred Stock, the Company raised gross proceeds of $790,834, including $378,700 from the conversion of promissory notes.  Each share of Series A Preferred Stock was convertible into 10 shares of the Company’s Common Stock determined by dividing $4.00 by the conversion price of $0.40.

 

F- 7

 

The Series A Preferred Stock includes embedded anti-dilutive provisions that meet the defined criteria of a derivative liability as described in ASC Topic 815, “ Derivatives and Hedging ,” and therefore require bifurcation.  These embedded derivatives include certain conversion features indexed to the Company's Common Stock. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the derivatives and related items at their fair values as of the date of issue and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date.   Changes in the fair value are charged to income at the end of each reporting period.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2013, a total of 197,708.5 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock had been converted into 1,977,085 shares of Common Stock. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were zero shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

 

NOTE 6 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

The Company has authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”) and 190,000,000 shares of common stock (“Common Stock”), each having a par value of $0.001.

 

In March 2013, the Company approved the 2012 Long-Term Incentive Equity Plan (the “2012 Plan”), which provides the Company with the ability to issue stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and/or other stock based awards for up to an aggregate of 2,050,000 shares of Common Stock.  

 

Stock Splits

 

On April 1, 2013, the Company effected a one-for-ten reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Reverse Split”). The number of authorized shares and the par value of the Common Stock were not changed.  The accompanying financial statements have been restated to reflect this reverse stock split.

 

Private Placement Offerings

 

In March 2014, the Company consummated two concurrent private placement offerings (the “2014 Offerings”), receiving an aggregate of $1,819,832, net of expenses, from accredited investors.  In one of the offerings, the Company sold an aggregate of 917,582 shares of Common Stock for $0.91 per share for a total of $835,000.  For each share purchased in this offering, investors received an immediately exercisable, five year warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $0.91 per share.  In the concurrent offering, the Company sold 1,098,091 shares of Common Stock for $0.91 per share for a total of $1,000,000.  The investor in the concurrent offering did not receive warrants. 

 

On May 1, 2013, the Company commenced a private placement offering of up to 1,250,000 shares of its Common Stock (the “Private Placement”) at a price of $0.40 per share pursuant to subscription agreements entered into with each investor.  As of June 18, 2013, the last date of the offering, 1,171,705 shares of Common Stock were sold, raising an aggregate of $468,682, which amount included the conversion of $20,000 of notes then outstanding.

 

Treasury Stock

 

In April 2014, the Company approved a repurchase of 12,497 shares of Common Stock for $11,372.  The shares were subsequently cancelled.

 

Stock Incentive Plans

 

In August 2014, the Company granted certain directors and employees of the Company stock options pursuant to the 2012 Plan to purchase 620,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.255 per share, which was the closing price at the date of grant. The options become exercisable over a period of two years and expire in August 2019.

 

In July 2013, the Company granted certain directors and employees of the Company stock options pursuant to the 2012 Plan to purchase 210,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.07 per share, which was 115% of the last sale price of the Common Stock on the date of grant. The options became exercisable in July 2014 and expire in July 2015.

 

In connection with the stock option issuances, compensation expense of $60,300 was recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Restricted Stock Compensation

 

In August 2014, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock to an executive officer. The shares are subject to a restricted stock agreement, and the vesting is conditional upon the Company reaching certain performance goals. Should the executive officer’s employment with the Company end, any unvested shares are forfeited.

 

In March 2014, the Company issued 465,000 shares of Common Stock under the 2012 Plan to certain of its directors, executive officers and employees. The shares are subject to a restricted stock agreement, pursuant to which the shares will vest one year from the date of such agreement if the grantee is a director or employee (as applicable) of the Company at the time.

 

F- 8

 

A summary of the restricted stock issuances to directors, officers and employees is as follows:

 

   

 

Number of Shares

   

Weighted Average

Grant Date Fair Value

 
Unvested share balance, January 1, 2013     4,453,516     $ 1.35  
   Granted     608,441       2.15  
   Vested     (88,309 )     1.40  
   Forfeited     (183,240     1.40  
Unvested share balance, December 31, 2013     4,790,408     $ 1.45  
   Granted     1,965,000       .25  
   Vested     (54,975 )     1.40  
   Forfeited     -       -  
Unvested share balance, September 30, 2014     6,700,433     $ 1.10  

 

In connection with the issuance of restricted stock, the Company recorded share-based compensation expense of $2,853,881 and $1,281,462 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  With the exception of 2,665,251 shares which vest based upon achieving certain milestones, the Company records compensation expense over the vesting period based upon the fair market value on the date of grant for each share, adjusted for forfeitures.   As of September 30, 2014, there was $3,955,729 of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to unvested share-based compensation.  That cost is expected to be recognized during the years 2014 through 2016.

 

Stock Warrants

 

In March 2014, the Company issued warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.91 per share.  The warrants are exercisable for five years from the date of issuance.

 

The following table summarizes warrant activity during the period:

 

   

Number of

 Warrants

 
Outstanding at January 1, 2014     -  
Issued for services     197,194  
Issued in connection with the 2014 Offerings       917,582  
Outstanding at September 30, 2014     1,114,776  
Exercisable at September 30, 2014     1,114,776  

 

The following table summarizes weighted-average assumptions using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model used on the date of issuance for the warrants for the nine months ended September 30, 2014: 

 

    September 30, 2014  
Volatility     174 %
Expected term (years)     5  
Risk-free interest rate     1.53 %
Dividend yield     0 %

 

In connection with the issuance of warrants for services rendered, compensation expense of $246,479 and advisory fees of $18,460 were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.   Since the warrants are fully vested, there is no future cost to the Company in connection with the warrants.  Warrants issued to investors as part of the 2014 Placements had no impact, and will have no future impact, on the Company’s statement of operations.

 

Advisory Services

 

In March 2014, the Company entered into two agreements pursuant to which the Company will receive advisory services related to strategy, distributorship, sales and sales channels and investor relations.  The Company granted to each advisor 100,000 shares of restricted Common Stock, subject to forfeiture if the advisor terminates or materially breaches the agreement before the six-month anniversary thereof.  The aggregate value of the advisory fees of $260,000 was calculated based upon the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of the agreement, and was charged to income during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Also in March 2014, the Company issued 82,418 and 1,234 shares of Common Stock for advisory work and consulting work, respectively.  The number of shares issued was calculated based upon the fair market value of the stock.

 

F- 9

 

On October 3, 2013, the Company entered into an advisor agreement whereby the Company would receive strategic business advisory services, distributorship advisory services, sales and sales channel advisory services and investor relation advisory services in exchange for the issuance of 50,000 shares of restricted Common Stock.  The Common Stock vested on April 3, 2014.  In connection with this issuance, the Company recorded $75,000 in consulting fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

On October 3, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement for strategic business advisory services, public relations services and investor relations services with Mr. Ian Thompson.  In connection with this agreement, the Company issued 167,204 shares of restricted Common Stock and recorded consulting fees of $501,612 during 2013, which was the fair market value of the stock on the date of issue; there was no cash payment to Mr. Thompson by the Company.  The stock is fully vested; however it is restricted from trading. The advisor was also issued an additional 200,000 shares of restricted Common Stock, which was to vest quarterly based upon the Company reaching certain market capitalization and revenue goals, in addition to providing the above services, with the last tranche vesting scheduled to vest on June 30, 2014.  Throughout the term of the agreement, the Company requested the advisor to render performance under the agreement and to provide evidence of same. The Company believes, however, that Mr. Thompson failed to perform in all material respects under the terms of the agreement.  On June 27, 2014, the Company terminated the agreement.  Accordingly, the final tranche of 50,000 shares did not vest.  Further, the Company is taking all necessary steps for the cancellation of the other shares totaling 317,204 shares, due to lack of delivery of consideration and breach of the agreement.

 

NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Lease Commitment

The Company entered into an office service agreement for office space for a term of 12 months effective February 11, 2014.  The base monthly office fee under that agreement is $1,147.  Prior to that, the Company rented its office space on a month to month basis.

 

Licensing Agreement

On August 15, 2012, the Company entered into a license agreement (“License Agreement”) for the use of a third party’s marks in the manufacture, sale, promotion, marketing, advertising and distribution of certain fruit juice products in select containers. The License Agreement grants the Company an exclusive license in Connecticut, New Jersey and New York and a non-exclusive license for the other states in the United States not included in the exclusive license, plus Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and  Nicaragua. The term of the License Agreement is for seven years from July 2013 (the date that the Company first invoiced customers for products sold under the License Agreement), subject to the Company meeting certain minimum sales volume and/or minimum royalty payments. Termination of the License Agreement could have a material and adverse impact on the Company’s business.  Future minimum royalty payments (in thousands) are $507 for 2014, $1,265 for 2015, $1,850 for 2016, $2,611 for 2017 and $11,617 for 2018 to 2020.  As of September 30, 2014, the Company has accrued $253,612 for royalty payments.

 

NOTE 8 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company issued 23,272 shares of Common Stock to its chief executive officer as payment of salary due for January and February 2014 in lieu of cash.  The shares were valued by the Company at the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the last trading day of the applicable month for which payment was due.

 

In December 2013, the Company received $24,000 in non-interest bearing, demand loans from certain related parties.  The loans were repaid in full by February 2014.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued 42,714 shares of Common Stock to employees in lieu of an aggregate of $100,692 cash salaries.  In addition, accrued salary amounting to $141,200 and $20,000 was converted into 35,300 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 50,000 shares of Common Stock as part of the Private Placement, respectively.

 

On January 31, 2013, the balance of notes outstanding to related parties of $237,500 was converted into 59,375 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.  Accrued interest of $7,261 was paid to the holders of the notes.

 

NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events,” the Company evaluates events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date for potential recognition in the financial statements. The effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date are recognized in the financial statements as of September 30, 2014. In preparing these financial statements, the Company evaluated the events and transactions that occurred through the date these financial statements were issued.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

This report includes a number of forward looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance.  Forward looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events.  You should not place undue certainty on these forward looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this annual report.  These forward looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.

 

Our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is provided in addition to the accompanying financial statements and notes to assist readers in understanding our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. MD&A is organized as follows:

 

  · Critical Accounting Policies — Accounting policies that we believe are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments incorporated in our reported financial results and forecasts.
  · Results of Operations — Analysis of our financial results comparing the three months ended and nine months ended September 30, 2014 to 2013. Liquidity and Capital Resources — Analysis of changes in our cash flows, and discussion of our financial condition and potential sources of liquidity.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

We have prepared our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), which requires management to make significant judgments and estimates 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 expenses during the reporting period. We base these significant judgments and estimates on historical experience and other applicable assumptions we believe to be reasonable based upon information presently available. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. These changes have historically been minor and have been included in the financial statements as soon as they became known. Actual results could materially differ from our estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.

 

All of our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our financial statements, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies and estimates, which are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, are the most pervasive and important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.

 

We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our financial statements:

 

Use of Estimates — The financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP. Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Stock-based Compensation — ASC Topic 718, “ Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights.

 

ASC Topic 718 requires employee compensation expense to be recorded using the fair value method. The Company accounts for employee stock based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718. For non-employee options and warrants, the company uses the fair value method as prescribed in ASC Topic 718.

 

Determining the appropriate fair value of the stock-based compensation requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based payment and stock price volatility. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing option model to value its stock option awards which incorporate the Company’s stock price, volatility, U.S. risk-free rate, dividend rate, and estimated life.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments — Our short-term financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and other liabilities, consist primarily of instruments without extended maturities. We believe that the fair values of our current assets and current liabilities approximate their reported carrying amounts.

This revenue was comprised of sales to Eastern Distributors and Wholesome Choice, Inc.

 

All of the Company’s revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, was derived from the sale of products under the License Agreement. The License Agreement with Chiquita provides for minimum sales volume requirements for each six month contract period. Chiquita may terminate the License Agreement should the Company fail to meet its minimum sales volume for any two consecutive contract periods. The Company did not meet its minimum sales volume requirement during the year ended December 31, 2013 and the six months ended June 30, 2014. Chiquita is aware of the Company not meeting these requirements and has informed the Company that it will not elect to terminate the License Agreement at this time. Chiquita will evaluate the relationship at the end of the next six month period (December 31, 2014).

 

Cost of Revenues

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had net losses of $3,941,648 and $1,797,108, respectively.  This increase in net loss of $2,144,540 is primarily attributable to the increase in operating expenses.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Liquidity

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company received net cash proceeds of $1,819,832 from the sale of Common Stock and warrants to purchase Common Stock in concurrent private placements consummated in March 2014.  As of September 30, 2014, the Company had working capital of $747,230.

 

Working Capital Needs

The Company is currently not generating sufficient cash flow to internally fund operations and continue our planned growth.  As a result, we will need to raise additional   financing.  The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. The Company expects that any sale of additional equity securities or convertible debt will result in additional dilution to our stockholders.   In addition, the Company may not be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to it, or at all. If the Company is not able to secure additional capital, it could be required to delay paying its account payables or forego business opportunities.

 

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

The Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2014. 

 

GOING CONCERN

 

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using GAAP applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully obtain and retain customers in order to achieve profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

 

Not Applicable.

   

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s senior management, consisting of the Company’s principal executive and financial officer and the Company’s principal accounting officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive and financial officer and the Company’s principal accounting officer concluded, as of the Evaluation Date, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Although we have voluntarily filed Exchange Act reports in the past, we have historically had difficulty timely compiling the information necessary for such reports given our limited accounting staff and resources. Our ability to file our Exchange Act reports as and when required will be part of our evaluation of our internal controls and procedures. In order to maintain and, if required, improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight may be required.

 

As previously reported the Company does not have an audit committee and is not obligated to have one. Although it remains management’s view that such a committee is an important internal control over financial reporting, management does not believe that the lack of an audit committee could result in a material misstatement in the Company’s financial statements in the near future. Accordingly, management has concluded that this deficiency alone does not constitute a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, and has considered the foregoing in its determination that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting and its disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

None.

 

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

 

Our business is largely predicated on our relationship with Chiquita Brands and an adverse change in this relationship would materially and adversely affect our business.

 

We produce all of our current products under our license agreement with Chiquita Brands, as described in this prospectus. The License Agreement provides for minimum sales volume requirements for each six month contract period. Chiquita Brands L.L.C. may terminate the License Agreement should the Company fail to meet its minimum sales volume requirements for any two consecutive contract periods. The Company did not meet its minimum sales volume requirements during the six month periods ended December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2014. Chiquita is aware of the Company not meeting these requirements and has informed the Company that it will not elect to terminate the License Agreement at this time. Chiquita will evaluate the relationship at the end of the next six month period (December 31, 2014). In the event the license agreement is terminated or not renewed at the end of its initial term, we would no longer be able to produce and market our Chiquita branded juice products. While we would be able to produce juice products under our own name, MOJO Organics, using our own suppliers and manufacturers, in the event of a termination of our relationship with Chiquita, the inherent marketing and distribution value of the MOJO Organics brand related to the Chiquita brand would be lost and it is very likely that our business operations, product salability and financial performance would be materially and adversely effected, at least in the short term.

 

ITEM 2.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

On August 12, 2014, the Company entered into a Restricted Stock Agreement with Mr. Spinner in connection with his employment as Chief Operating Officer, whereby he received 1,500,000 shares of common stock that vest in three tranches based on the achievement of certain performance goals.

 

On August 14, 2014, the Company issued an aggregate of 620,000 shares of common stock to its officers and directors under the Company’s 2012 Long-Term Incentive Equity Plan (the “2012 Plan”). Such shares are subject to a Stock Option Agreement between each grantee and the Company, pursuant to which such shares will vest on February 14, 2015, August 15, 2015, February 14, 2016 and August 14, 2016 at $0.255 per share, provided the grantee is still an officer or director of the Company (as applicable).

AGREEMENT made as of the 12 th day of August, 2014, by and between Mojo Organics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Peter Spinner (the “Executive”).

WHEREAS, on August 12, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) determined to issue to the Executive 1,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company, $.001 par value (“Shares”); and

WHEREAS, potential investors in the Company have demanded that the initial vesting period of the Shares.

IT IS AGREED:

1.                   Grant of Restricted Shares .

(i)                  The Company hereby issues to the Executive 1,500,000 Shares on the terms and conditions set forth herein. All of the Shares shall be subject to forfeiture during the period terminating August 12, 2019 (“Restriction Period”). The Shares shall be represented by three stock certificates registered in the name of the Executive, each of which shall represent 500,000 Shares. The certificates (collectively, the “Restricted Share Certificates”) shall bear the legends set forth in Sections 5(v) and 5(vi) of this Agreement. The Restricted Share Certificates shall be deposited by the Executive with the Company, together with stock powers endorsed in blank, which will permit transfer to the Company of all or any portion of the Shares represented by such certificates (the “Restricted Shares”) that shall be forfeited or shall not become vested in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(ii)                After issuance, the Restricted Shares shall constitute issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock for all corporate purposes unless and until forfeited in accordance with the terms hereof. The Executive shall have the right to vote such Restricted Shares, to receive and retain all cash dividends as the Board may, in its sole discretion, pay on such Restricted Shares, and to exercise all of the rights, powers and privileges of a holder of Common Stock with respect to such Restricted Shares, except that (a) the Executive shall not be entitled to delivery of the Restricted Share Certificates until the Restricted Shares represented by the Restricted Share Certificates vest in accordance with subparagraph (iii) below; and (b) other than cash dividends as the Board, in its sole discretion, distributes, the Company will retain custody of all distributions (“Retained Distributions”) made or declared with respect to the Restricted Shares (and such Retained Distributions will be subject to the same restrictions, terms and conditions as applicable to the Restricted Shares) until such time, if ever, as the Restricted Shares with respect to which such Retained Distributions shall have been distributed have become vested.

(iii)              Assuming, Executive is still employed with the Company, (a) if the Company’s average monthly revenues are at least $300,000 per month over a six consecutive month period, or the Company has a market cap of at least $21,600,000 for a 180 day period, 500,000 of the Restricted Shares and the Retained Distributions with respect thereto shall become vested, (b) if the Company’s average monthly revenues are at least $600,000 per month over a six consecutive month period, or the Company has a market cap of at least $43,200,000 for a 180 day period, an additional 500,000 of the Restricted Shares and the Retained Distributions with respect thereto shall become vested and (c) if the Company’s average monthly revenues are at least $900,000 per month over a six consecutive month period, or the Company has a market cap of at least $64,800,000 for a 180 day period, the final 500,000 of the Restricted Shares and the Retained Distributions with respect thereto shall become vested. After the date that any of the Restricted Shares become vested, upon the request of the Executive, the Company shall promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue and deliver to the Executive a new certificate for the Shares that have vested, which certificate shall not bear the legend set forth in Section 5(vi). If, at any time prior to the vesting of the Restricted Shares in accordance with this Section 1(iii), the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated, then the Restricted Shares that have not then vested (and the Retained Distributions with respect thereto) shall be forfeited to the Company and the Executive shall not thereafter have any rights with respect to such Restricted Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated at any time other than by the Company for “Cause” or by the Executive without “Good Reason” (each as defined in the Executive’s employment agreement with the Company), then all of the Restricted Shares shall automatically vest.

(iv)              Nothing in this Agreement shall confer on the Executive any right to continue in the employ of, or other relationship with, the Company (or with any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company) or limit in any way the right of the Company (or of any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company) to terminate the Executive’s employment or other relationship with the Company (or with any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company) at any time, with or without cause.

2.                   Withholding Tax . The Company shall have the right to withhold from Executive that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value (as defined below) equal to the minimum amount of any federal, state or local income and/or payroll taxes required by law to be withheld and to take such other action as the Board may deem advisable to enable the Company and Executive to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to the vesting of Shares. Solely for purposes of this section, “Fair Market Value” means as of any given date: (i) if the Shares are listed on a national securities exchange or The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”), the last sale price of the Shares in the principal trading market for the Shares on such date, as reported by the exchange or Nasdaq, as the case may be; (ii) if the Shares are not listed on a national securities exchange or Nasdaq, but are traded in the over-the-counter market, the closing bid price for the Shares on such date, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or Pink Sheets, LLC or similar publisher of such quotations; and (iii) if the fair market value of the Shares cannot be determined pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, such price as the Board shall determine, in good faith.

3.                   Nonassignability of Restricted Shares . The Restricted Shares shall not be assignable or transferable until they have vested.

4.                   Company Representations . The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Executive that:

(i)                  the Company, by appropriate and all required action, is duly authorized to enter into this Agreement and consummate all of the transactions contemplated hereunder; and

(ii)                the Shares, when issued and delivered by the Company to the Executive in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, will be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable.

(i)                  he is acquiring the Shares for his own account and not with a view towards the distribution thereof;

(ii)                he understands that he must bear the economic risk of the investment in the Shares, which cannot be sold by him unless they are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), or an exemption therefrom is available thereunder and that the Company is under no obligation to register the Shares for sale under the Securities Act;

(iii)              in his position with the Company, he has had both the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the officers and directors of the Company and all persons acting on its behalf concerning the terms and conditions of the offer made hereunder and to obtain any additional information to the extent the Company possesses or may possess such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense;

(iv)              he is aware that the Company shall place stop transfer orders with its transfer agent against the transfer of the Shares in the absence of registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom as provided herein; and

(v)                the certificates evidencing the Shares shall bear the following legend:

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT. THE SHARES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SAID ACT.”

 

(vi)              the certificates evidencing the Restricted Shares shall also bear the following legend:

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED PURSUANT TO A RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE COMPANY, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR DISPOSED OF EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEREOF.”

 

6.                   Restriction on Transfer of Shares . Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Executive hereby agrees that he shall not sell, transfer by any means or otherwise dispose of the Shares acquired by him without registration under the Securities Act, or in the event that they are not so registered, unless (i) an exemption from the Securities Act registration requirements is available thereunder, and (ii) the Executive has furnished the Company with notice of such proposed transfer and the Company’s legal counsel, in its reasonable opinion, shall deem such proposed transfer to be so exempt. Further, the Executive agrees that he shall abide by all of the Company’s policies in effect at the time the Shares vest and thereafter, including the Company’s Insider Trading Policy, with respect to the ownership and trading of the Company’s securities.

The portion of the Option, if any, that was not exercisable as of the date of death shall immediately terminate upon death.

5.2.             Termination Due to Disability . If Employee’s employment by the Company terminates by reason of Disability, the portion of the Option, if any, that was exercisable as of the date of termination of employment may thereafter be exercised by the Employee or legal representative for a period of six months from the date of such termination or until the expiration of the Exercise Period, whichever period is shorter.

In such event, the Employee hereby agrees to remit to the Company, in cash, an amount equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of the Option Shares on the date of termination (or the sales price of such Shares if the Option Shares were sold during such six month period) and the Exercise Price of such Shares.

5.6.             Competing With the Company . If Employee’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated for any reason whatsoever, and within 12 months after the date thereof such Employee either (i) accepts employment with any competitor of, or otherwise engages in competition with, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) solicits any customers or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to do business with or render services to the Employee or any business with which the Employee becomes affiliated or to which the Employee renders services or (iii) uses or discloses to anyone outside the Company any confidential information or material of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in violation of the Company’s policies or any agreement between the Employee and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Board, in its sole discretion, may require such Employee to return to the Company the economic value of any award that was realized or obtained by such Employee at any time during the period beginning on the date that is six months prior to the date such Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated.

Any such adjustments will be made by the Board, whose determination will be final, binding and conclusive.

8.                   Method of Exercise .

8.1.             Notice to the Company .

Shares of Common Stock used for this purpose shall be valued at the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise.

8.3.3.       Payment of Withholding Tax . Any required Withholding Tax may be paid in cash or with Common Stock in accordance with Sections 8.3.1 and 8.3.2.

8.3.4.       Exchange Act Compliance . Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right to reject payment in the form of Common Stock if in the opinion of counsel for the Company, (i) it could result in an event of “recapture” under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (ii) such shares of Common Stock may not be sold or transferred to the Company; or (iii) such transfer could create legal difficulties for the Company.

9.                   Transfer .

“The shares represented by this certificate have been acquired for investment and have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The shares may not be sold or transferred in the absence of such registration or an exemption therefrom under said Act.”

“The shares represented by this certificate have been acquired pursuant to a Stock Option Agreement dated as of August 14, 2014, a copy of which is on file with the Company, and may not be transferred, pledged or disposed of except in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof."

12.               Restriction on Transfer of Option Shares .
