NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 and 2014

(Unaudited)


Note 1 - Organization, Business of the Company and Liquidity


Organization and Nature of Operations


ICTV Brands Inc., (the "Company" or "ICTV"), formerly known as International Commercial Television, Inc., was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 25, 1998.  On July 3, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company recommended to the shareholders that the Company's Articles of Incorporation be amended to change the name of the Company to ICTV Brands Inc., which was approved by the holders of a majority of the Company's outstanding stock and became effective on August 20, 2014.


The Company together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Better Blocks International Limited ("BBI"), sells various health, wellness and beauty products as well as miscellaneous consumer products through a number of sales channels throughout the United States and internationally. Although our companies are incorporated in Nevada and New Zealand, our operations are currently run from the Wayne, Pennsylvania office.


The Company develops, markets and sells products through a multi-channel distribution strategy, including long-form infomercials which we produce, short-form advertising spots, live home shopping television, specialty outlets, online shopping, and traditional retail stores. We offer primarily health, beauty and wellness products as well as various consumer products, including DermaWand TM , a skin care device that reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and helps improve skin tone and texture, DermaVital ® , a professional quality skin care line that effects superior hydration, the CoralActives ® brand of acne treatment and skin cleansing products, and Derma Brilliance ® , a skin care resurfacing device that helps reduce visible signs of aging, Jidue TM , a facial massager device which helps alleviate stress, and Good Planet Super Solution TM , a multi-use cleaning agent.  We acquire the rights to our products that we market primarily via licensing agreements, acquisition and in-house development and sell both domestically and internationally.


The goal of our strategy is to use the brand awareness we create in our infomercials so that we can sell the products featured in our infomercials, along with related families of products, under distinct brand names on both a continuity program model basis and in traditional retail stores. Our goal is to have these families of products sold in the traditional retail environment in shelf-space dedicated to the product category. The Company is presently exploring other devices and consumable product lines currently under licensing agreements.


Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies


Basis of Presentation


The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and within the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to interim financial statements and therefore do not include all disclosures that might normally be required for financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management without audit and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows, for the periods indicated, have been made. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of operating results that may be achieved over the course of the full year.


Principles of consolidation


The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary BBI.  All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)


Use of estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing its consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. The most significant estimates used in these consolidated financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves for returns, inventory reserves, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and share based compensation. Actual results could differ from these estimates.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2015-11- Inventory (Topic 330) - Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory ("ASU 2015-11"), which provides that an entity should measure inventory within the scope of this update at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. The amendments in this update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance to the consolidated financial statements.


In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers which provides new accounting guidance on revenue recognition. The new standards provides for a single five-step model to be applied to all revenue contracts with customers as well as required additional financial statement disclosure that will enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows relating to customer contracts. Companies have an option to use either a retrospective approach or cumulative effect adjustment approach to implement the standard. There is no option for early adoption. On July 9, 2015, the FASB agreed to delay the effective date by one year. In accordance with the agreed upon delay, the new standard is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance to the consolidated financial statements.


In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 - Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.  The amendments in this update provide 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 and to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact to the consolidated financial statements related to this guidance.


Concentration of credit risk


Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, include cash and trade receivables. The Company maintains cash in bank accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses and believes it is not exposed to any significant risks on its cash in bank accounts.


As of September 30, 2015, 75% of the Company's accounts receivable were due from various individual customers to whom our products had been sold directly via Direct Response Television and 19% from televised live home shopping. In addition, 6% of the Company's accounts receivable was cash due from the Company's credit card processors as of September 30, 2015. Major customers are considered to be those who accounted for more than 10% of net sales. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, there were no major customers as compared to 24% and 14%, respectively, of net sales made to one major international third party distributor for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)


Fair value of financial instruments


Fair value estimates, assumptions and methods used to estimate fair value of the Company's financial instruments are made in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 825-10, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments." The Company has used available information to derive its estimates. However, because these estimates are made as of a specific point in time, they are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company could realize currently. The use of different assumptions or estimating methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The carrying values of financial instruments such as cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short settlement period for these instruments.


Cash and cash equivalents


The Company considers all unrestricted highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.


Cash held in escrow


The Company utilized Transfirst ePayment Services' Check Gateway platform for electronic check processing, which maintained a reserve fund within our electronic check processing account to cover fees, charges, and expenses due to them, including those estimated for possible customer charge backs. Effective April 28, 2015, the Company discontinued the acceptance of e-checks and no longer uses the Check Gateway platform. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the amount of such reserves were approximately $0 and $48,000, respectively. The reserve was released in full on June 30, 2015.  ICTV's credit card processing vendor for VISA, Mastercard, Discover and American Express transactions in the United States, Chase Paymentech, does not require such a reserve.  Additionally, as described further in Note 6, effective February 18, 2015, the Company terminated its Credit Facility and the $500,000 collateral held in escrow was released.  


Foreign currency transactions


Transactions entered into by the Company in currencies other than its local currency, are recorded in its local currency and any changes in currency exchange rates that occur from the initiation of a transaction until settled are recorded as foreign currency gains or losses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.


Accounts receivable


Accounts receivable are recorded net of allowances for returns and doubtful accounts of approximately $114,000 at September 30, 2015 and $317,000 at December 31, 2014. The allowances are estimated based on customer returns and bad debts.


In addition to reserves for returns and doubtful accounts on accounts receivable, an accrual is made for the return of product that has been sold to customers and had cash collections, while the customer still has the right to return the product. The amounts of these accruals included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets were approximately $73,000 at September 30, 2015 and $221,000 at December 31, 2014.


Inventories


Inventories consist primarily of products held for resale, and are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. The Company adjusts inventory for estimated obsolescence when necessary based upon demand and market conditions. Included in inventory at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is approximately $37,000 and $115,000, respectively, of consigned product that has been shipped to customers under the 30-day free trial period for which the trial period has not expired and as such the customer has not accepted the product.

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)


Furniture and equipment


Furniture and equipment are carried at cost and depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the individual assets ranging from 3 to 5 years.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. The related cost and accumulated depreciation of assets retired or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and the resultant gain or loss is reflected in earnings.  Maintenance and repairs are expensed currently while major renewals and betterments are capitalized.


Depreciation expense amounted to approximately $2,000 and $6,000 and $2,000 and $4,500 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.


Impairment of long-lived assets


In accordance with ASC 360-10, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future net cash flows estimated by the Company to be generated by such assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of by sale are recorded as held for sale at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value. No impairment losses were identified or recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.


Revenue recognition


For our DRTV consumer television sales generated by our infomercials, product sales revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the selling price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company's revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of operations are net of sales taxes.


The Company offers a 30-day risk-free trial as one of its payment options. Revenue on the 30-day risk-free trial sales is not recognized until customer acceptance and collectability are assured which we determine to be when the trial period ends. If the risk-free trial expires without action by the customer, product is determined to be accepted by the customer and revenue is recorded. Revenue for items purchased without the 30-day free trial is recognized upon shipment of the product to the customer and collectability is assured.


Revenue related to our DermaVital TM continuity program is recognized monthly upon shipment to customers. Revenue related to international wholesale customers is recorded at gross amounts with a corresponding charge to cost of sales upon shipment. Deferred revenue – short-term for payment received prior to shipment on international third party distributor sales approximated $310,000 and $471,000 as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.


The Company has a return policy whereby the customer can return any product received within 30 days of receipt for a full refund. However, historically the Company has accepted returns past 30 days of receipt. The Company provides an allowance for returns based upon past experience. Returns for the periods presented have been offset against gross sales.

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)


Income taxes


In preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements, we make estimates of our current tax exposure and temporary differences resulting from timing differences for reporting items for book and tax purposes. We recognize deferred taxes by the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In addition, valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. In consideration of our accumulated losses and limited historical ability to generate taxable income to utilize our deferred tax assets, we have estimated that we will not be able to realize any benefit from our temporary differences and have recorded a full valuation allowance. If we sustain profitability in the future at levels which cause management to conclude that it is more likely than not that we will realize all or a portion of the net operating loss carry-forward, we would record the estimated net realizable value of the deferred tax asset at that time and would then provide for income taxes at a rate equal to our combined federal and state effective rates. Subsequent revisions to the estimated net realizable value of the deferred tax asset could cause our provision for income taxes to vary significantly from period to period.


Stock options


In June 2001, our shareholders approved our 2001 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan is designed for selected employees, officers and directors of the Company and its subsidiary, and is intended to advance the best interests of the Company by providing personnel who have substantial responsibility for the management and growth of the Company and its subsidiary with additional incentive by increasing their proprietary interest in the success of the Company, thereby encouraging them to remain in the employ of the Company or its subsidiary. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors of the Company, and authorizes the issuance of stock options not to exceed a total of 3,000,000 shares. The terms of any awards under the Plan are determined by the Board of Directors, provided that no options may be granted at less than the fair market value of the stock as of the date of the grant. The Plan expired in February 2011. As of September 30, 2015, 316,667 options are outstanding under the Plan.


In December 2011, our shareholders approved our 2011 Stock Option Plan (the "2011 Plan").  The 2011 Plan is designed for selected employees, officers, and directors of the Company and its subsidiary, and is intended to advance the best interests of the Company by providing personnel who have substantial responsibility for the management and growth of the Company and its subsidiary with additional incentive by increasing their proprietary interest in the success of the Company, thereby encouraging them to remain in the employ of the Company or its subsidiary.  The 2011 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors of the Company, and authorizes the issuance of stock options not to exceed a total of 3,000,000 shares.  On April 21, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a resolution to increase the number of common shares which may be granted to 6,000,000 shares. On September 19, 2014, the increase in the number of shares that may be granted under the 2011 Plan was approved by a majority of the Company's shareholders. The terms of any awards under the Plan are determined by the Board of Directors, provided that no options may be granted at less than the fair market value of the stock as of the date of the grant.  Generally, the options granted vest over three years with one-third vesting on each anniversary date of the grant. As of September 30, 2015, 3,579,056 options are outstanding under the 2011 Plan.


The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to non-employees in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 505, subtopic 50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees based upon the fair-value of the underlying instrument. The equity instruments, consisting of stock options granted to consultants, are valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The measurement of share-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustments as the underlying equity instruments vest and is recognized as an expense over the period which services are received. Nonvested stock options granted to non-employees are remeasured at each reporting period.


The Company uses ASC Topic 718, "Share-Based Payments" to account for share-based compensation issued to employees and directors. The Company recognizes compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of share-based payments such as stock options granted to employees over the requisite vesting period of the awards.

DermaWand TM


On October 15, 1999, Windowshoppe.com Limited ("WSL") entered into an endorsement agreement with an individual for her appearance in a DermaWand infomercial. On July 11, 2001, the agreement was amended to include a royalty payment for each unit sold internationally, up to a maximum royalty payment for any one calendar quarter. Further, if the infomercial is aired in the United States, then the airing fee will revert back to the same flat rate per calendar quarter. The initial term of the agreement was five years starting October 15, 1999. The agreement automatically and continually renews for successive additional five-year terms unless R.J.M.Ventures ("RJML") is in material default and is notified in writing at least thirty days prior to the end of the then current term that the individual intends to terminate the agreement. The Company assumed any and all responsibilities associated with the license and reconveyance agreements dated April 1, 2000 entered into by the Company and WSL and RJML. On January 5, 2001, WSL entered into an agreement with Omega 5. WSL shall have worldwide nonexclusive rights to manufacture, market and distribute DermaWand TM . In consideration of these rights, WSL shall pay a monthly payment for each unit sold of DermaWand depending on various scenarios as defined in the agreement.

During 2007, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with Omega 5 wherein ICTV was assigned all of the trademarks and all of the patents and pending patents relating to the DermaWand TM and was granted exclusive license with respect to the commercial rights to the DermaWand TM . This agreement was amended and superseded on July 28, 2010. The geographical scope of the license granted is the entire world consisting of the United States of America and all of the rest of the world. The license remains exclusive to ICTV provided ICTV pays to Omega 5 a minimum annual payment of $250,000 in the initial 18 month term of the agreement and in each succeeding one-year period. If in any calendar year the payments made by the Company to Omega exceed the annual minimum of $250,000, then the amount in excess of the annual minimum or "rollover amount" will be credited towards the Company's annual minimum for the immediately following calendar year only. If the Company fails to meet the minimum requirements as outlined in the agreement, it may be forced to assign the trademarks and patents back to Omega 5. After the initial term, the exclusive license granted shall renew automatically for a three year period, and thereafter automatically at three-year intervals. The Company met the minimum annual requirements in the year ended December 31, 2014 and has already met the annual minimum requirements during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.


The amount of royalty expense incurred for sales of the DermaWand TM included in cost of sales in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations were approximately $103,000 and $591,000 and $194,000 and $732,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Consulting Agreement


On August 15, 2015, the Company entered into a new one year agreement with the consultant. As part of the agreement, the consultant receives a commission of 5% on internet retailers' net sales, including Amazon.com, which is paid monthly with a $6,000 per month minimum.

The Company recorded the $270,000 as a General and Administrative expense in the three months ended September 30, 2010. In April 2011, the Company amended the aforementioned severance agreement. The amendment allows the Company to make monthly payments of $3,400 per month for a period of one year from April 2011 through March 2012. In March 2012, the Company amended the aforementioned severance agreement for a second time to continue the monthly payment amount of $3,400 through March 2016.

Note 8 - Basic and diluted earnings per share


ASC 260, "Earnings Per Share" requires presentation of basic earnings per share and dilutive earnings per share.


The computation of basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share gives the effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect. At September 30, 2015 there were no warrants outstanding and exercisable. At September 30, 2015 there were approximately 6,339,057 stock options outstanding and 4,194,056 were vested and exercisable at an average exercise price of $0.33.


All outstanding securities were anti-dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 as a result of a net loss for both periods.  The following securities were not involved in the computation of diluted net (loss) per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive:

The provision (benefit) for income tax is approximately $0 and $(21,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, or 0% and (2.4%), respectively, of pre-tax income.  The effective tax rates for 2015 and 2014 reflect provisions for current federal and state income taxes. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $843,000 of gross federal net operating loss carryforwards and $546,000 of gross state net operating loss carryforwards available. As of December 31, 2013, the Company completed its IRC Section 382 study and concluded that the availability of the Company's net operating loss carry forwards will not be subject to annual limitations against taxable income in future periods due to change in ownership rules. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the remaining net deferred asset as the Company does not have sufficient history of taxable income. During 2012, the Company filed income tax returns from inception, 1998, through 2011. The Company is now current in all tax filings.


The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to tax matters in general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recorded zero interest and penalties for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.


Note 10 - Segment reporting

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION


Except for the historical information presented in this document, the matters discussed in this Form 10-Q, and specifically in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation", or otherwise incorporated by reference into this document contain "forward looking statements" (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995). These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believes", "expects", "may", "will", "intends", "should", or "anticipates" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. The safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, apply to forward-looking statements made by the Company. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. The actual results that the Company achieves may differ materially from any forward-looking statements due to such risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, and the Company assumes no obligation to update this information. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by the Company in this report on Form 10-Q and in the Company's other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect the Company's business.


The following discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and accompanying notes and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report.


Overview


The Company develops, markets and sells products through a multi-channel distribution strategy, including long-form infomercials which we produce, short-form advertising spots, live home shopping television, specialty outlets, online shopping, and traditional retail stores. We offer primarily health, beauty and wellness products as well as various consumer products, including DermaWand TM , a skin care device that reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and helps improve skin tone and texture, DermaVital ® , a professional quality skin care line that effects superior hydration, the CoralActives ® brand of acne treatment and skin cleansing products, Derma Brilliance ® , a skin care resurfacing device that helps reduce visible signs of aging, Jidue TM , a facial massager device which helps alleviate stress, and Good Planet Super Solution TM , a multi-use cleaning agent.  We acquire the rights to our products that we market primarily via licensing agreements, acquisition and in-house development and sell both domestically and internationally.


The goal of our strategy is to use the brand awareness we create in our infomercials so that we can sell the products featured in our infomercials, along with related families of products, under distinct brand names on both a continuity program model basis and in traditional retail stores. Our goal is to have these families of products sold in the traditional retail environment in shelf-space dedicated to the product category. The Company is presently exploring other devices and consumable product lines currently under licensing agreements.


Fluctuations in our revenue are driven by changes in our product mix. Revenues may vary substantially from period-to-period depending on our product line-up. A product that generates revenue in one quarter may not necessarily generate revenues in each quarter of a fiscal year for a variety of reasons, including, seasonal factors, number of infomercials run, the product's stage in its life-cycle, the public's general acceptance of the infomercial and other outside factors, such as the general state of the economy.


Just as fluctuations in our revenues are driven by changes in our product mix, our gross margins from period to period depend on our product mix. Our gross margins vary according to whether the products we are selling are primarily our own products or third-party products. As a general rule, the gross margins for our own products are considerably higher based on proportionately smaller cost of sales. For third-party products, our general experience is that our gross margins are lower, because we record as cost of sales the proportionately higher cost of acquiring the product from the manufacturer. Within each category (i.e., our own products versus third-party products), gross margins still tend to vary based on factors such as market price sensitivity and cost of production.


Many of our expenses for our own products are incurred up-front. Some of our up-front expenditures include infomercial production costs and purchases of media time. If our infomercials are successful, these up-front expenditures produce revenue as consumers purchase the products aired on the infomercials. We do not incur infomercial production costs and media time for our international sales to third party distributors, because we merely act as the distributor for pre-produced infomercials. It is the responsibility of the international infomercial operators to whom we sell the third-party products to take the pre-produced infomercial, adapt it to their local standards and pay for media time.

Results of Operations


The following discussion compares operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 with the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.


Net Sales


Our net sales decreased to approximately $3,616,000 and $19,740,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, from $6,048,000 and $23,688,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, sales relating to DermaWand TM for direct response television (DRTV) were approximately $2,658,000 and $14,241,000 as compared to approximately $3,862,000 and $17,631,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The primary driver of the decline in sales was generated by the Company's decrease in media related expenditures as it reduced the amount of airings of the DermaWand TM infomercial and allocated additional resources to its additional products still in a rollout phase.  Further, as a result of the reduced media spend, sales related to the DermaVital TM skin care line during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were approximately $580,000 and $2,232,000 compared to $742,000 and $3,014,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. Additionally, sales from the Spanish language version of the DermaWand TM infomercial decreased to approximately $435,000 and $3,229,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $716,000 and $3,835,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.  


The Company resumed airings on live televised home shopping in the first quarter of 2015 which resulted in increased revenue of $122,000 and $393,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to no generated sales from live televised home shopping for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, international distributor sales revenue decreased to approximately $613,000 and $4,000,000 from $1,819,000 and $4,749,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The decreases can be attributed to timing of international shipments, the impact of the appreciation of the U.S. dollar, and seasonality with our third party distributors.  


Gross Margin


Gross margin percentage was approximately 67% and 68% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to approximately 68% and 71% during the three and nine months in 2014. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we generated approximately $2,405,000 and $13,516,000 in gross margin, compared to approximately $4,141,000 and $16,747,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decreases in gross margin percentage can be attributed to additional live home shopping sales at a lower gross margin as well as changes in product mix as the Company brings additional products to market both domestically and internationally. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the gross margin percentage for DRTV Revenue was approximately 84% and 86% compared to 88% and 87% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The gross margin percentage for international sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was approximately 45% and 48% compared to approximately 52% and 49%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.   


Operating Expenses


Total operating expenses decreased to approximately $3,227,000 and $14,322,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, from approximately $4,669,000 and $17,619,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. This decrease in operating expenses is due to a few key factors. The largest factor is a decrease in media expenditures. Media expenditures were approximately $1,206,000 and $6,519,000, and $1,768,000 and $7,680,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In addition, consulting fees and share based compensation contributed to the decrease in operating expenses. As the Company now performs a number of responsibilities previously performed by third party consulting firms, consulting fees decreased to approximately $81,000 and $284,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to approximately $222,000 and $823,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.  Further, as a result of vesting of awards for non-employees in the prior year, share based compensation expenses decreased to approximately $157,000 and $486,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, from approximately $360,000 and $950,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.  


24



As a result of the decrease in media expenses, there were additional volume related decreases. Answering service expense decreased to approximately $187,000 and $890,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $247,000 and $1,099,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. Customer service expenses decreased to approximately $133,000 and $723,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, from approximately $189,000 and $910,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. Merchant fees decreased to approximately $82,000 and $398,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $126,000 and $575,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. Total bad debt expenses decreased to approximately $199,000 and $1,169,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, from approximately $303,000 and $1,319,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, which is consistent with the decrease in sales.


Other decreases include a decrease in product development and clinical trial costs to approximately $26,000 and $86,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to approximately $90,000 and $315,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, due to the Company completing a number of clinical trials in the prior year.


Net Loss


The Company generated a net loss of approximately $(822,000) and $(806, 000) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared with a net loss of approximately $(501,000) and $(858,000) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease can be attributed to the reduction in sales for both the three and nine months ended for September 30, 2015, partially offset by the decreases in operating expenses, as discussed above.   


Liquidity and Capital Resources


At September 30, 2015, we had approximately $876,000 in cash and cash equivalents, compared to approximately $1,145,000 at December 31, 2014. As a result of a pay-down of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $787,000 and increase in inventory of approximately $422,000, net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was approximately $974,000 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $89,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  Net cash provided by financing activities was $704,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $76,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The reason for the change was the release of cash held as collateral on the Company's former line of credit of $500,000 as discussed in Note 6 and the exercise of options and warrants for proceeds of approximately $204,000.  


The Company had no debt obligations as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Working capital decreased to approximately $1,742,000 at September 30, 2015, compared to approximately $1,918,000 at December 31, 2014.  


As discussed in Note 7, on October 27, 2015, the Board authorized the issuance of up to 3,333,334 shares of common stock to be purchased at $0.30 per share to accredited investors.  A total of 3,333,334 shares were purchased through October 30, 2015 for gross proceeds of $1,000,000.  No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid.  As part of the offering, we agreed to register their shares for resale.  The offering will be used for funding opportunities we have for the promotion and sale of our DermaWand TM , CoralActives ® , Derma Brilliance ® , and Jidue ® portfolio of products.  The purchasers are accredited investors, as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the shares were issued with restrictive legends.  The issuance of the shares is exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, and Rule 5.06(b) of Regulation D.  


Based on the Company's current rate of cash outflows and cash on hand, management believes that its current cash will be sufficient to meet the anticipated cash needs for working capital into the fourth quarter of 2016.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES


There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates in the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") defines "critical accounting policies" as those that require application of management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Our significant accounting policies are described under "Critical Accounting Policies" in our "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in Item 7, as well as in our consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the Commission with our Annual Report form 10-K filed on March 19, 2015.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time frames specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer, President, and its Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e).


Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect material misstatements. In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of changes in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures.


We carried out an evaluation as of September 30, 2015, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, President, and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.


There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
