George Foreman Enterprises, Inc. (referred to in this report as "we" or the "Company") is filing this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 (this "Report"). The Company is delinquent in compliance with its reporting obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").  The filing of this Report is part of the ongoing process to bring the Company in compliance with its reporting obligations under the rules and regulations of the SEC.




This Report reflects the Company's financial position, results of operations, business and prospects only as of the end of the period covered by this Report.  The readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such information, because the Company's financial position has deteriorated further since the end of the period covered by this Report due to additional expenses incurred by the Company as a result of continued operation expenses and the challenges being faced by the Company to generate meaningful revenues from its business.  Additionally, as disclosed in this Report and the Company's other filings with the SEC, the Company has had a history of operating losses, and there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Any forward-looking statements included in this Report represent management's view as of the filing date of this Report.




PART I




NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION




The statements contained in this Annual Report that are not historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding the expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future.  Without limiting the foregoing, the words "anticipates," "believes," "expects," "intends," "may" and "plans" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  The Company intends that all forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These forward-looking statements reflect the Company's views as of the date they are made with respect to future events, but are subject to many risks and uncertainties, which could cause the actual results of the Company to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  These statements speak only as of the date hereof.  We are under no duty to update, and do not undertake to update, any of the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report to conform them to actual results or to changes in our expectations.




ITEM 1.
BUSINESS




The Company was incorporated in Delaware on April 23, 1996.  The Company’s operations are derived from licensing agreements and royalties received from the right to use the George Foreman name.  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of George Foreman Enterprises, Inc, its wholly-owned subsidiary, George Foreman Management, Inc., and its majority-owned subsidiary, George Foreman Ventures, LLC ("Ventures").  G-Nutritional, LLC ("G-Nutritional") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ventures through which a majority ownership position in Vita Ventures, LLC ("Vita Ventures") was acquired.  Ventures also acquired a majority ownership position in InStride Ventures, LLC ("InStride Ventures").  All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated.




On August 15, 2005 the Company and Ventures, entered into a series of agreements with George Foreman and George Foreman Productions, Inc. ("GFPI," and, collectively with George Foreman, "Foreman") pursuant to which, among other things, Mr. Foreman assigned certain trademarks and rights to the name, image, signature, voice, likenesses, caricatures, sobriquets, and all other identifying features and indicia of Mr. Foreman to Ventures, and GFPI agreed to furnish the personal services of Mr. Foreman to Ventures.  In exchange, Mr. Foreman and GFPI were issued membership interests in Ventures.  These membership interests can be, at GFPI and Foreman's option, exchanged into approximately thirty-five percent (35%), or 1,799,753 shares, of the fully-diluted shares of common stock of the Company.  In addition, a trust of which George Foreman, Jr. and George Foreman III are the trustees was issued two shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock, which shares entitle the holders thereof, voting separately as a class, to elect two (2) members of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board").  The trust, as holder of such Series A Preferred Stock, elected George Foreman and George Foreman, Jr. to serve as its designated directors on the Board.

The Company’s current revenues are derived from the sale of diabetic shoes in InStride Ventures as well as shares of stock and quarterly royalty payments received by Ventures from UFood.  There is also the potential of additional revenue to be received as a result of our agreement with NationsHealth. But to date, Ventures has only received the initial lead income from NationsHealth in accordance with the terms of Ventures’ agreement with NationsHealth.  At December 31, 2009, the Company had $99,059 in cash and cash equivalents compared to $102,944 at December 31, 2008.  There is an uncertainty about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.




On March 7, 2008, the Company sold, in a private placement mostly to third-party investors, its 8% Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $800,000.  The Notes are convertible into units of the Company at a conversion price of $2.50 per unit, subject to adjustment.  Each unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 and one common stock purchase warrant, exercisable at a price of $3.00 per share, subject to adjustment.  The proceeds from the Securities Purchase Agreement were used for working capital.  The buyers of the Notes included two entities that are controlled by Seymour Holtzman.  Mr. Holtzman was a director, chief executive officer and co-chairman of the board of directors of the Company until November 8, 2010.  The buyers also include Jeremy Anderson, the chief financial officer of the Company.





The Company also sold, in a private placement, its 8% Convertible Notes on March 31, 2008 in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000.  The Notes are also convertible into units of the Company at a conversion price of $2.50 per unit, subject to adjustment.  Each unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 and one common stock purchase warrant, exercisable at a price of $3.00 per share, subject to adjustment.  The proceeds from these transactions have been used to fund working capital. The amounts raised in these two transactions were not sufficient to ensure the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.




The Company can give no assurance that the Company's existing cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to satisfy its current obligations.  The Company expects that its primary use of cash over the short-term will be for the payment of expenses to develop sales of the therapeutic footwear of InStride Ventures LLC, possible test marketing of the LifeShake, costs associated with the operation as a public company (legal, accounting, consulting, insurance, etc.) and the repayment of its interest and debt under the Notes. The Company is in default under the Notes due to its failure to pay principal and interest in the aggregate amount of $1,200,708 through July 31, 2011.




The Company's success will depend primarily upon its ability to exploit and protect the intellectual property rights that Mr. Foreman has assigned to Ventures.  Mr. Foreman has entered into numerous licensing, endorsement and other agreements, and there can be no assurances that a third party will not assert a claim to some or all of the intellectual property rights that the Company believes have been assigned to Ventures.  In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the "PTO") may cite preexisting trademark applications and registrations by third parties against, and prior trademark owners may oppose, future trademark applications by the Company or Ventures incorporating the George Foreman name.  Further, even if the Company or Ventures were able to obtain acceptance of its trademark applications by the PTO, a significant number of similar marks registered by, and licensed to, third parties could diminish the value and protectability of the intellectual property held by the Company or Ventures.  The value of the George Foreman name may be diminishing as Mr. Foreman gets older and the memory of his career as a boxer fades.

On September 7, 2006, G-Nutritional, an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement with Vitaquest International, LLC ("Vitaquest") to operate a newly formed limited liability company for the purpose of marketing and selling certain products principally related to wellness, vitamins and nutritional supplements (the "Products") using the name and likeness of George Foreman. G-Nutritional and Vitaquest entered into an Operating Agreement (the "Operating Agreement") for the newly formed limited liability company, Vita Ventures, under which G-Nutritional and Vitaquest are the sole members. Under the terms of the Operating Agreement, G-Nutritional has sole approval over matters relating to the selection of products and the use of the Foreman trade name.  G-Nutritional is therefore considered to hold a controlling interest over Vita Ventures.  G-Nutritional owns 50.1% of the membership interests of Vita Ventures and Vitaquest owns 49.9% of the membership interests of Vita Ventures. Additionally, as part of this transaction, G-Nutritional entered into a Trademark License and Service Agreement with Vita Ventures on September 7, 2006 under which Vita Ventures was granted a worldwide non-exclusive license to use the name and likeness of George Foreman in connection with the sale of the Products.  Vita Ventures discontinued the sale of its products during the last quarter of 2008 and is currently contemplating marketing the Products again on a test basis through our infomercial.




On April 20, 2007, Ventures entered into an agreement with InStride LLC ("InStride"), Olen Rice and Paul Koester to operate a newly formed limited liability company named InStride Ventures for the purpose of manufacturing, marketing and selling therapeutic footwear using the name and likeness of George Foreman.  Ventures owns 50.1% of the membership interest of InStride Ventures, In Stride owns 47.9% of the membership interest of InStride Ventures and Messrs. Rice and Koester each own 1% of the membership interest of InStride Ventures.  Additionally, in connection with this transaction, Ventures entered into a License Agreement with InStride Ventures granting InStride Ventures a license to use the name and likeness of George Foreman in connection with the business activities of InStride Ventures.  Also, in accordance with the terms of an Exclusive Trademark License Agreement, InStride granted InStride Ventures a license to use certain trademarks owned by InStride in connection with the business activities of InStride Ventures.  We also acquire our inventory from our business partner and then resell it.  During the twelve months ended December 31, 2009, InStride Ventures recognized $105,570, of sales as a result of its agreement to supply therapeutic footwear using the name and likeness of George Foreman.  .  About two-thirds of our sales recognized by InStride Ventures in 2009 were from one customer. This concentration of sales to one customer is consistent with last year.




On June 12, 2007, Ventures granted KnowFat Franchise Company, Inc. ("KnowFat") a non-exclusive limited license to use the name and likeness of George Foreman in connection with the promotion of restaurants operated by KnowFat and its franchisees.  As consideration for use of the license, Ventures was granted 900,000 shares of common stock of KnowFat, half of which vested as of the closing date and half of which vests over the four year term of the license agreement.  In addition, Ventures has the potential to earn additional shares based on the number of franchises sold, as well as earning royalties based on KnowFat sales.  On December 18, 2007, KnowFat merged with and into a publicly traded company and now operates under the name UFood Restaurant Group, Inc ("UFood").  The number of KnowFat shares owned by Ventures was converted to 1,371,157 shares of UFood as part of the transaction. Ventures recognized licensing fees and royalties of $348,032 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009.  As of August 23, 2011, Ventures had disposed of 745,933 UFood shares and had 625,224 UFood shares remaining.  The value of the UFood shares owned by Ventures based on the August 23, 2011 market price was $100,036.




Ventures entered into a License Agreement, dated as of June 13, 2007, with Northern Foods plc ("Northern Foods").  Pursuant to this License Agreement, Ventures granted to Northern Foods, its subsidiaries and affiliated entities under its own ownership or control the nonexclusive right to manufacture, and the exclusive right to distribute and sell, frozen meats, poultry and fish that utilize, use or otherwise feature the name, image and likeness of George Foreman on packaging or other sales materials, to food stores and food wholesalers operating in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.   As of December 31, 2009, Ventures recognized royalty income of $142,312 for the twelve months from its licensing agreement with Northern Foods. Ventures’ License Agreement with Northern Foods expired in September 2009 and it was not renewed.





The Company's employees are retained by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, George Foreman Management, Inc. ("Foreman Management"). As of December 31, 2009, Foreman Management had six part-time employees.  These employees also perform services for other entities.




The Company's principal executive offices are located in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania in space leased by Jewelcor Management, Inc. ("JMI") from Seymour Holtzman and his wife and made available to the Company (without separate charge).   JMI, a company controlled by Mr. Holtzman, the Company's former Co-Chairman of the Board and former Chief Executive Officer of the Company, provides the Company with certain consulting, administrative and other services in exchange for a monthly fee of $4,167.  Since July 2008 these fees have been accruing but have not been paid.

We are required to file or furnish with or to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or “Commission”) our quarterly reports on Form 10−Q, annual reports on Form 10−K, current reports on Form 8−K, annual reports to stockholders and annual proxy statements and amendments to such filings. Our SEC filings are available to the public at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE., Washington, DC 20549, on official business days during the hours of 10 a.m.  to 3 p.m.  The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330.  Our SEC filings are also available to the public on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.





The Company failed to file on a timely basis its Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2008, December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010, and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for each of the three quarters of 2010 and for the first two quarters of 2011 on account of its severe cash shortage.  The filing of this Form 10-K evidences the determination of our management to take steps to bring the Company in compliance with its reporting obligations under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, however no assurance can be given as to the timing or ultimate success of these efforts.





ITEM 2.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.





The Company's principal executive offices are located in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, in a space leased by JMI from Mr. Holtzman and his wife, and made available to the Company (without separate charge) through the Company's consulting arrangement with JMI.




ITEM 3.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS




On December 13, 2010, Ventures received a letter from the minority members of InStride Ventures claiming that Ventures breached its fiduciary duty to InStride Ventures by entering into an Agreement with United States Pharmaceutical Group, LLC (“USPG”) on May 28, 2010 and demanding that the Company protect and the rights of InStride Ventures. InStride Ventures had previously entered into a product distribution agreement with USPG on September 4, 2008 and the minority members contend that the May 28, 2010 agreement bypassed the rights of InStride Ventures LLC.  No further action has been taken by the minority members of InStride Ventures. The Company believes that the claims set forth in the demand letter are without merit and will vigorously defend these claims.




We are, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that the resolution of any currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or taken as a whole, will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Nevertheless, we cannot assure you that lawsuits, arbitrations or other litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We anticipate that we will continue to be subject to litigation and arbitration proceedings in the ordinary course of business. There can be no assurance that any such future litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

On August 15, 2005, as consideration for the assignment of certain trademarks and rights to the name, image, signature, voice, likenesses, caricatures, sobriquets, and all other identifying features and indicia of Mr. Foreman to Ventures, Foreman was issued membership interests in Ventures, which membership interests will be exchangeable into approximately thirty-five percent (35%), or 1,799,753 shares, of the fully-diluted shares of common stock of the Company.  Additionally, a trust of which George Foreman, Jr. and George Foreman III are the trustees was issued shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock, which shares entitle the holders thereof, voting separately as a class, to elect two (2) members of the Board.  The membership interests and the Series A Preferred Stock were issued in private transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on Section 4(2) thereof.  The membership interests are exchangeable, at Foreman's option, into shares of the Company's common stock at any time, or from time to time, at an exchange rate determined in accordance with the provisions of an investor rights agreement by and among the Company and Ventures, on the one hand, and Mr. Foreman and GFPI on the other hand.

On March 7 and March 31, 2008, the Company conducted closings under Securities Purchase Agreements of the same dates with various buyers (the "Securities Purchase Agreement").  The Securities Purchase Agreements were accepted by the Company, and became enforceable against it, on said closing dates.  Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements, as more fully set forth therein, the Company sold 8% Convertible Promissory Notes (the "Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000.  The Notes are convertible into units of the Company at a conversion price of $2.50 per unit, subject to adjustment.  Each unit consists of one share of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 and one common stock purchase warrant, exercisable at a price of $3.00 per share, subject to adjustment.  Each of the Notes is substantially identical in all material respects except as to the parties thereto, the amounts of securities purchased, the dates of execution, and other minor details.  The Company expects that, when issued, each of the Warrants will likewise be substantially identical in all material respects.  The buyers included two entities that are controlled by Seymour Holtzman.  Mr. Holtzman was a director, chief executive officer and co-chairman of the board of directors of the Company until November 8, 2010.  The buyers also include Jeremy Anderson, the chief financial officer of the Company.  The aggregate sale price of the Notes was $1,000,000, and the Company paid no underwriting discounts or commissions.  The proceeds of these sales were used to fund working capital and to further develop the Foreman brand.  The sales were made in reliance upon an exemption from securities registration pursuant to Section 4(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Regulation S as promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The Company believes that these exemptions are available because, among other things, each of the buyers was, to the knowledge of the Company, an accredited investor who acquired the securities for investment purposes and agreed to restrictions on transfer.




Dividend Policy




The Company has not declared or paid any cash dividends on Common Stock and does not intend to declare or pay any cash dividend in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends, if any, is within the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on the Company’s earnings, if any, its capital requirements and financial condition and such other factors as the Board of Directors may consider.

ITEM 7.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS





The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.




Results of Operations




Year Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2008




The Company's net sales were $595,914 for the year ended December 31, 2009. Sales were derived from UFood ($348,032), Northern Foods ($142,312), and Instride Ventures ($105,570). The cost of sales was $42,929 related to Instride Ventures' therapeutic footwear.  The Company's net sales were $1,543,574 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Sales were derived from Vita Ventures ($1,048,168), UFood ($252,417), Instride Ventures ($129,051), and Northern Foods ($113,938). Vita Ventures discontinued the sale of its products during the last quarter of 2008 and therefore no sales were recognized by them in 2009.  The cost of sales for 2008 was $71,607 related to Instride Ventures' therapeutic footwear and $180,864 for the Vita Ventures' Lifeshake product for a total of $252,471.


8


Selling, general and administrative expenses were $539,224 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to $2,308,106 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Selling, general and administration expenses primarily consisted of marketing expenses and payroll and related expenses for accounting and legal personnel, professional and consulting fees, and Directors and Officers insurance, as well as other general corporate expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $1,770,000 compared to last year as a result of reduced marketing, consulting and fulfillment expenses of $867,673 as the Lifeshake product was discontinued. Consulting and marketing fees were about $263,000 higher for the year ended December 31, 2008 as the diabetic shoes sold by Instride Ventures were introduced into retail stores.  Legal fees were about $190,000 higher, travel expenses were about $15,000 higher, and investor relations expenses were about $30,000 higher during that period as the Company sought additional financing through the issuance of $1,000,000 in Promissory Notes.  Audit fees were about $27,000 higher for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to 2009 as the Company changed independent public accountants. Lastly, payroll and related expenses were about $358,000 lower for the year ended December 31, 2009 as the Company attempted to reduce overall general and administrative expenses.




An impairment loss of $909,629 was recorded as expense during the year ended December 31, 2008, whereas there was no similar loss during 2009.  The Company determined that its trade name was significantly impaired, and recorded an impairment charge of $909,629 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, reflecting the entire net book value of these assets.  Similarly, there was no amortization expense recorded after the impairment charge reduced the net book value of the trade name to $-0-.




Other expense for the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was $684,339 and $1,116,266, respectively. Included in other income(expense) for the year ended December 31, 2009 is interest expense of $(82,663) as the Company paid interest on the convertible notes issued in March 2008 and interest expense on amortization on discount of those same notes of $400,000.  Also included in other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2009 are realized and unrealized holding losses on the UFood and Z-Trim marketable securities of $(202,018). Included in other income(expense) for the year ended December 31, 2008 is income of $750,000 on the settlement with Z-Trim Holdings, Inc., interest income on money market accounts of $13,412, interest expense of $(72,993) as the Company paid interest on the convertible notes issued in March 2008, and interest expense on amortization on discount of those same notes of $(333,000).  Also included in other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 are unrealized holding losses in marketable securities of $(1,473,685).




There are both challenges and opportunities in the development of the current products being marketed.  If we are able to capitalize on the recognition of the George Foreman name over other less-recognizable promoters, consumers may choose our product.  Our biggest challenge in sales of the therapeutic shoe being sold by InStride Ventures appears to be in the large pharmacy retailers.  Each retailer needs to dedicate resources to properly train and promote our product to ensure that diabetic patients are aware of the benefits in using the shoe.  The licensing agreement with UFood may or may not be successful depending upon UFood's ability to grow and profitably manage their franchises. The licensing agreement with NationsHealth may or may not be successful depending upon NationsHealth's ability to promote and profitably manage their core diabetic supply business. The success of the LifeShake is dependent on our partner’s ability to market the product and fulfill orders in a timely manner should any test marketing indicate such an opportunity for success.




Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates




The SEC has recently issued Financial Reporting Release No. 60, "Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies" ("FRR 60"), suggesting companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on those accounting policies considered most critical.  FRR 60 considers an accounting policy to be critical if it is important to the Company's financial condition and results, and requires significant judgment and estimates on the part of management in its application as contemplated by FRR 60 based on our current state of operations. For a summary of all of the Company's significant accounting policies, including the accounting policies the Company believes to be critical, see Note 4 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements based on the Company's current activities.




Operating Lease Accruals




The Company has vacated possession of its premises subject to operating leases. See also Item 2, Part 1, of this Form 10-K.

Liquidity and Capital Resources




Net cash used in operating activities was $210,284 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The cash used resulted from the Company's loss of $670,578, the amortization of deferred royalties of $474,204, and lease payments of $102,566, offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $97,693, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $328,857, the change in unrealized holding losses on the marketable securities of $202,018, and the amortization of discounted notes of $400,000.




Net cash provided by investing activities was $187,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  This was the result of proceeds from a matured time deposit of $152,000 as well as proceeds from the sale of our Z-Trim shares of $35,000.




Net cash provided by financing activities was $19,399 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  This was due to proceeds received from related parties.




At December 31, 2009, the Company had $99,059 in cash and cash equivalents compared to $102,944 at December 31, 2008.  On March 7, 2008 and March 31, 2008, the Company sold Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000.  The Company does not believe that its existing cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to satisfy its current obligations. The Company expects that its primary use of cash over the short-term will be for the payment of expenses to develop sales of the therapeutic footwear of InStride Ventures LLC, possible test marketing of the LifeShake, costs associated with the operation as a public company (legal, accounting, consulting, insurance, etc.) and the repayment of its interest and debt under the Notes.  To the extent that management of the Company develops the Foreman brand, it may have a significant impact on our liquidity.




We are in default on certain debt obligations.




We have debt obligations of over $1 million that are currently in default under the Notes and we continue to face significant interest expenses under the Notes. A more detailed discussion of the Notes is set forth under Note 16 to our audited financial statements below.  Our ability to generate cash flows from operations and to make scheduled payments on our indebtedness, including the notes, will depend on our future financial performance. Our future performance will be affected by a range of factors, many of which we cannot control, such as general economic and financial conditions in our industry or the economy at large.A significant reduction in operating cash flows resulting from changes in economic conditions, increased competition, or other events could increase the need for additional or alternative sources of liquidity and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and our ability to service our debt, including the Notes, and other obligations. The Company is in default under the Notes due to its failure to pay principal and interest through July 2011 in the aggregate amount of $1,200,708.




A large percentage of our revenues are derived from a small number of customers.




For the year ended December 31, 2009, we derived approximately 58% of our consolidated revenues from UFood and about 24% from Northern Foods.  Furthermore, our agreement with Northern Foods expired in September 2009 and our agreement with UFood expires in June 2011, which will significantly decrease our revenues going forward.  The success of the NationsHealth agreement is dependent on NationsHealth’s ability and desire to promote their core diabetic supplies. The Company is contemplating possible test marketing of the LifeShake but our cash shortage may limit our marketing ability. That being said, there are no apparent leads for additional revenue in the short or long term.


10


The Company's success will depend primarily upon its ability to exploit and protect the intellectual property rights that Mr. Foreman has assigned to Ventures.




Mr. Foreman has entered into numerous licensing, endorsement and other agreements over the last decade, and there can be no assurances that a third party will not assert a claim to some or all of the intellectual property rights that the Company believes have been assigned to Ventures.  In addition, the PTO may cite preexisting trademark applications and registrations by third parties against, and prior trademark owners may oppose, future trademark applications by the Company or Ventures incorporating the George Foreman name.  Further, even if the Company or Ventures were able to obtain acceptance of its trademark applications by the PTO, a significant number of similar marks registered by, and licensed to, third parties could diminish the value and protectability of the intellectual property held by the Company or Ventures.




Resignation of George Foreman, Sr. from the Board of Directors.




George Foreman, Sr. retired from the Board of Directors on May 28, 2010.  Furthermore, Ventures is limited in the use of Mr. Foreman’s name and likeness to the products and categories it has already developed. Ventures may not explore the further development of the Foreman brand into new products and categories and may only promote and develop those agreements it has under the InStride, Vita Ventures, UFood, and NationsHealth.  These limitations may significantly impede our ability to grow, which would adversely affect our financial conditions, results of operations and business prospects.




Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued a "going concern" opinion.




We incurred a net loss of $670,578 and negative cash flows from operating activities of $210,284 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  In addition, we have a history of net losses and negative cash flows from operations and the remaining cash available at December 31, 2009 is $99,059. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.  We cannot give assurance that we will achieve sufficient revenues in the future to achieve profitability and cash flow positive operations.  The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time and there are no assurances that, if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute our business plan or to generate positive operating results.  Our independent registered public accounting firm has indicated that these matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.




Our stockholders may have difficulty in recovering monetary damages from directors.




Our certificate of incorporation contains a provision, which eliminates personal liability of our directors for monetary damages to be paid to us and our stockholders for some breaches of fiduciary duties. As a result of this provision, our stockholders may be unable to recover monetary damages against our directors for their actions that constitute breaches of fiduciary duties, negligence or gross negligence. Inclusion of this provision in our certificate of incorporation may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and may discourage lawsuits against our directors for breach of their duty of care even though some stockholder claims might have been successful and benefited stockholders.




Factors That May Affect Our Business, Financial Condition and Results of Operations





Following the filing of this report, we will remain delayed in our SEC reporting obligations, we cannot assure you when we will complete our remaining SEC filings for periods subsequent to those included in this report, and we are likely to continue to face challenges related to the delayed filings until we complete these filings.




We continue to face challenges with regard to completing our remaining SEC filings for periods subsequent to those included in this report. We remain delayed with our SEC reporting obligations as of the filing date of this report and we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete our remaining filings for periods subsequent to those included in this report. Until we complete these remaining filings, we expect to continue to face many of the risks and challenges we have experienced during our extended filing delay period, including, without limitations:




·
the possibility that the SEC could commence an enforcement action against the Company;




·
continued concern on the part of customers, partners, investors, and employees about our financial condition and extended filing delay status, including potential loss of business opportunities;


11




·
continued distraction of our senior management team and our board of directors as we work to complete our remaining filings;




·
limitations on our ability to raise capital and make acquisitions; and




·
general reputational harm as a result of the foregoing.




Even if we complete our remaining filings for periods subsequent to those included in this report, we cannot assure you that all of the risks and challenges described above will be eliminated. For example, we cannot assure you that lost business opportunities can be recaptured or that general reputational harm will not persist.




Off-balance sheet arrangements




None.




Challenges and Opportunities





We face a number of challenges and opportunities in the near term.  Our primary challenge is to raise sufficient cash to meet our operating activities.  There is no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient cash to meet those needs, if at all.  Another challenge is that our products are marketed in highly competitive fields.  Our primary opportunity is to most effectively use the well-known George Foreman name in our current product offerings.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm





We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of George Foreman Enterprises, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows for the two years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.





We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.





In our opinion, the 2009 and 2008 financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows each of the two years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.





The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As shown in the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $670,000 for the year ending December 31, 2009.  As of December 31, 2009, current liabilities exceeded current assets by $1.9 million and had a stockholders’ deficiency of approximately $4.3 million.  These factors and others described in Note 3 raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.





These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

GEORGE FOREMAN ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008




1.
ORGANIZATION




THE COMPANY




The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of George Foreman Enterprises, Inc, its wholly-owned subsidiary, George Foreman Management, Inc. ("the Company"), and its majority-owned subsidiary, George Foreman Ventures, LLC ("Ventures").  G-Nutritional, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ventures through which a majority ownership position in Vita Ventures, LLC was acquired.  Ventures also acquired a majority ownership position in InStride Ventures, LLC.  The Company was formed in Delaware in April 1996.  The Company’s operations are derived from licensing agreements and royalties received from the right to use the George Foreman name.




On August 15, 2005, the Company and Ventures entered into a series of agreements with George Foreman and George Foreman Productions, Inc. ("GFPI") pursuant to which, among other things, Mr. Foreman assigned certain trademarks and rights to the name, image, signature, voice, likenesses, caricatures, sobriquets, and all other identifying features and indicia of Mr. Foreman to Ventures, and GFPI agreed to furnish the personal services of Mr. Foreman to Ventures.  In exchange, Mr. Foreman and GFPI were issued a 15% membership interest in Ventures.  These membership interests can be, at GFPI and Mr. Foreman's option, exchanged into approximately thirty-five percent (35%), or 1,799,753 shares, of the fully-diluted shares of common stock of the Company.  In addition, a trust of which George Foreman, Jr. and George Foreman III are the trustees was issued two shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock, which shares entitle the holders thereof, voting separately as a class, to elect two (2) members of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board").  The trust, as holder of such Series A Preferred Stock, elected George Foreman and George Foreman, Jr. to serve as its designated directors on the Board.




Effective for the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). The ASC was established as the sole source of US GAAP and superseded existing accounting and reporting guidance issued by the FASB, Emerging Issues Task Force and other sources.  The ASC did not change US GAAP.  All references to accounting standards in these consolidated financial statements correspond to ASC references.




2.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS




On May 28, 2010, the Company and Ventures entered into an agreement with George Foreman (“Foreman”) and GFPI, which restructured the contractual rights and obligations of the parties. In addition, Foreman and GFPI exchanged all of their membership interests in Ventures for the Company’s common stock under the Investor Rights Agreement entered into as of August 15, 2005. The parties agreed to terminate the Services and Assignment Agreements and all of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder. Ventures agreed to sell, grant, assign and otherwise set over to Foreman and GFPI, solely and exclusively and forever, irrevocably and unconditionally, all of their right, title and interest, of every nature and description, whether or not such rights are now known, recognize or contemplated, including the right to enforce the same for all past, present and future infringements, in and to: the Foreman Indicia and the Indicia Rights, marks any and all registrations of, and applications to register, the Marks filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, in any states within the United States and anywhere else in the world; and all materials created or produced using the Marks, the Foreman Indicia and/or Indicia Rights including, without limitation, all copyrights therein.




The Company, Ventures, and each of the respective Affiliates agreed to cease and desist from any and all uses of, and shall not use, the Foreman Indicia, the Indicia Rights and/or the Marks, subject only to the licenses previously provided to Ventures for the use of the Foreman Indicia, the Indicia Rights, the Materials and/or the Marks solely in connection with and for the purpose of complying with and/or exercising its contractual rights, representations, commitments and obligations under the Ventures’ License Agreements.


19




Foreman and GFPI Parties agreed to waive any right to receive shares of preferred stock pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (see Note 16 below) and any amounts due to them.  Foreman and George Foreman Jr. resigned from the Company’s board of directors immediately upon the execution of this agreement.  George Foreman Jr. and George Foreman III, former employees of the Company, agreed to waive any right to receive any amounts due to them under their employment contracts.




Ventures entered into another Agreement with Foreman and United States Pharmaceutical Group, LLC (d/b/a NationsHealth) (“NationsHealth”) on May 28, 2010 pursuant to which Foreman was appointed as NationsHealth’s exclusive spokesman for core diabetic supplies and Foreman granted NationsHealth, through the Agreement with Ventures, an exclusive worldwide license to use the Foreman name, likeness, image and signature in connection with advertising to promote the core diabetic supplies.  As part of the Agreement, both Ventures and Foreman will share qualified lead income received from NationsHealth in addition to 10% of the net profits derived from the value of diabetic supplies.




3.
GOING CONCERN




As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $670,578 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  In addition, the Company is currently in default with its debt holders, has a history of net losses and negative cash flows from operations, mainly due to its inability to generate significant revenues to date, and the remaining cash available at December 31, 2009 is $99,059. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.




On March 7, 2008, the Company sold 8% Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $800,000 (see Note 17 below).  The Notes are convertible into units of the Company at a conversion price of $2.50 per unit, subject to adjustment.  Each unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 and one common stock purchase warrant, exercisable at a price of $3.00 per share, subject to adjustment.  The proceeds from these transactions have been used to fund working capital.  The buyers of the Notes included two entities that are controlled by Seymour Holtzman.  Mr. Holtzman was a director, chief executive officer and co-chairman of the board of directors of the Company until November 8, 2010.  The buyers also included Jeremy Anderson, the chief financial officer of the Company.




The Company sold 8% Convertible Notes on March 31, 2008 in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000.  The Notes are also convertible into units of the Company at a conversion price of $2.50 per unit, subject to adjustment.  Each unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 and one common stock purchase warrant, exercisable at a price of $3.00 per share, subject to adjustment.  The proceeds from these transactions have been used to fund working capital. The amounts raised in these two transactions were not sufficient to ensure the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.





The Company's success will depend primarily upon its ability to exploit and protect the intellectual property rights that Mr. Foreman has assigned to InStride Ventures, Vita Ventures, and NationsHealth through the Agreements with Ventures.  Mr. Foreman has entered into numerous licensing, endorsement and other agreements over the last decade, and there can be no assurances that a third party will not assert a claim to some or all of the intellectual property rights that the Company believes have been assigned to Ventures.  In addition, the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("the "PTO") may cite preexisting trademark applications and registrations by third parties against, and prior trademark owners may oppose, future trademark applications by the Company or Ventures incorporating the George Foreman name.  Further, even if the Company or Ventures were able to obtain acceptance of its trademark applications by the PTO, a significant number of similar marks registered by, and licensed to, third parties could diminish the value and protectability of the intellectual property held by the Company or Ventures.




The Company can give no assurance that the Company's existing cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to satisfy its current obligations.  The Company expects that its primary use of cash over the short-term will be for the payment of expenses to develop sales of the therapeutic footwear of InStride Ventures LLC, possible test marketing of the LifeShake, costs associated with the operation as a public company (legal, accounting, consulting, insurance, etc.) and the repayment of its interest and debt under the Notes.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES




PRINCIPALS OF CONSOLIDATION




The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries and majority-owned subsidiaries.  All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.  For the consolidated subsidiaries in which the Company’s ownership is less then 100 percent (100%), the outside stockholders’ interest are shown as non-controlling interest.  The non-controlling interest of the Company’s earnings or loss is classified as net earnings or loss attributable to non-controlling interests in the consolidated statement of operations.




CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS




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




ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS




Accounts receivable are recorded at amounts the Company expects to collect. The Company calculates allowances for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. The Company does not require collateral on credit sales and reviews its accounts receivable aging on a regular basis to determine if any of the receivables are past due. While historical loss experience is utilized in determining the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company believes this factor may not by itself provide an accurate depiction of future losses, given the current economic conditions.  If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, to the extent that their ability to make payments is impaired, additional allowances may be required. The Company writes off all uncollectible trade receivables against its allowance for doubtful accounts.


MARKETABLE SECURITIES
 
 The Company generally classifies its equity securities as “available for sale” and, accordingly, reflects unrealized gains and losses, net of deferred income taxes, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).  The Company periodically reviews its marketable securities and determines whether the investments are other-than-temporarily impaired.  If the investments are deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, the investments are written down to their then current fair market value.  During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded impairment charges and realized losses of $202,018 and $1,473,685, respectively, related to certain of its investments.


REVENUE RECOGNITION


The Company recognized revenue in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 605, (“Revenue Recognition”). Revenue is recognized from earnings from license fee arrangements for use of the George Foreman name. Revenues are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contracts. Any unearned portion of the license fees received is recorded as deferred royalties on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.




INCOME TAXES




The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, "Income Taxes") ("ACS 740"), which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.


21


The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent that the Company believes that these assets will more-likely-than-not be realized.  In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial results.  In the event that the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.





The principal item giving rise to deferred taxes is expenses deductible for tax purposes that are not deductible for book purposes and a net operating loss carry forward.




IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS




The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of those items.  The Company's cash flow estimates are based on limited operating history and have been adjusted to reflect management's best estimate of future market and operating conditions.  The net carrying values of assets deemed not recoverable are reduced to fair value. The Company's estimates of fair value represent management's best estimates based on industry trends.




NET LOSS PER SHARE




Basic earnings (loss) per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shares in the earnings (loss) of the Company.  Certain unexercised stock options and stock warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, were excluded in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because the options' and warrants’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Company's common stock and the effect would be antidilutive.  For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, there were 3,314,753 potential common shares outstanding.




USE OF ESTIMATES




The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to future cash flows associated with impairment testing for long-lived assets.  The Company bases its estimates on assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.




RECLASSIFICATION




Effective January 1, 2009, the Company completed its implementation of FASB ASC 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”).  As a result of adopting ASC 810, prior year’s balances were reclassified to conform to current presentation.


22




RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS




In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) NO. 168, now Accounting Standards Update (ASU) ASU 2009-01, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“Codification”). This standard replaces SFAS NO. 162, the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and establishes only two levels of United States of America (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles, authoritative and non authoritative. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) became the source of authoritative, nongovernmental Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), except for rules and interpretive releases of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which are sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other nongrandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthorative. This standard is effective for financial statements for interim or annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009.  The adoption of the Codification changed our references to GAAP accounting standards. The Company adopted ASU 2009-01 during the year ended December 31, 2009, and its application did not affect our results of operations or financial condition.





During 2009, the Company adopted the revised accounting guidance related to business combinations. This guidance requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the literature.  In accordance with this guidance, acquisition-related costs, including restructuring costs, must be recognized separately from the acquisition and will generally be expensed as incurred.  That replaces the cost-allocation process detailed in previous accounting literature, which required the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values.   The Company implemented this new guidance effective January 1, 2009.





During 2009, the Company implemented an update to the accounting guidance related to earnings per share.  In accordance with this accounting guidance, unvested share-based payment awards with rights to dividends are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of basic earnings per share.  The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2009.  This implementation did not have a material impact on prior periods presented.





The FASB has published an update to the accounting guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures as it relates to investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent). This accounting guidance permits a reporting entity to measure the fair value of certain investments on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent). This update also requires new disclosures, by major category of investments, about the attributes of investments included within the scope of this amendment to the Codification. The guidance in this update is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.





5.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS




The Company adopted FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) on January 1, 2008, for all financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis or on a nonrecurring basis during the reporting period. While the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 820 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, no such assets or liabilities existed at the balance sheet date. As permitted by ASC 820, the Company delayed implementation of this standard for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis and adopted these provisions effective January 1, 2009.





The fair value is an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.  These tiers include:  Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs about which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.





As of December 31, 2009, the Company held certain financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  These consisted of cash and cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities.  The fair value of the cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities is determined based on quoted market prices in public markets and is categorized as Level 1.  The Company does not have any financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as Level 2 or Level 3 and there were no transfers in or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2009.


23





The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Marketable securities are measured at fair value using quoted market prices and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.  The Company realized cumulative holding losses from marketable securities of $1,040,135 (see Note 8 below) at December 31, 2009 as management determined the investments were other than temporarily impaired.





The Company has other financial instruments, such as receivables, accounts payable and other liabilities, notes payable and customer deposits, which have been excluded from the tables above.  Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, the carrying value of receivables, accounts payable and other liabilities, notes payable and customer deposits approximate their fair values.  The Company did not have any other financial liabilities within the scope of the fair value disclosure requirements as of December 31, 2009.





6.
PREPAID EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS




Prepaid expenses and other current assets at December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $25,000 and $31,512, respectively.  These balances represent prepaid insurance for the Directors and Officers Liability Policy.  The amounts are being expensed monthly over the life of the policy.




7.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS – TRADE NAME




On August 15, 2005, the Company and Ventures, entered into a series of agreements with George Foreman and GFPI pursuant to which, among other things, Mr. Foreman assigned certain trademarks and rights to the name, image, signature, voice, likenesses, caricatures, sobriquets, and all other identifying features and indicia of Mr. Foreman to Ventures, and GFPI agreed to furnish the personal services of Mr. Foreman to Ventures.  The initial capital contribution of intellectual property by Mr. Foreman and George Foreman Productions, Inc. was valued for consolidated financial statement purposes at $2,099,716.  The intangible asset was being amortized over its five year estimated useful life.


24





Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are evaluated for impairment.  The Company uses a un-discounted cash flow analysis method of assessing impairment of these assets.  Significant management judgment is required in the forecasting of future operating results, which are used in the preparation of the projected non-discounted cash flows.  Due to recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations, in 2008 the Company evaluated its intangible assets for impairment.  To date, the Company has not been successful in achieving its financial projections and cash flow estimates.  Fair value was estimated using an undiscounted cash flow method.  As a result and based on our performance to date and the lack of history of meeting our financial projections, the Company determined that the trade name was impaired and recorded an impairment charge of $909,629, the unamortized balance, during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 reducing the amount to $-0-.




8.
INVESTMENT IN COMMON STOCK – MARKETABLE SECURITIES




On June 12, 2007, Ventures and KnowFat consummated a transaction pursuant to which Ventures granted KnowFat a non-exclusive limited license to use the name and likeness of George Foreman in connection with the promotion of restaurants operated by KnowFat and its franchisees.  In exchange, Ventures was granted a total of 900,000 shares of common stock of KnowFat, of which 450,000 shares vested at date of closing and the remaining shares will vest over the four-year term of the licensing agreement. On December 18, 2007, KnowFat entered into a merger agreement and commenced business operations as a publicly traded company under the name UFood Restaurant Group, Inc ("UFood").  Due to the conversion of shares upon the merger, the number of shares of UFood common stock that Ventures was granted increased to 1,371,157.




This nonmonetary exchange was accounted for under Emerging Issues Task Force 00-08, "Accounting by a Grantee for an Equity Investment to be Received in Conjunction with Providing Goods or Services" ("EITF 00-08"). Under EITF 00-08 the 450,000 shares of UFood (formerly known as KnowFat) common stock was recorded at the estimated fair value of $513,000 at the date of vesting. On June 12, 2008, an additional 304,702 shares of UFood vested in accordance with the licensing agreement.  These shares were valued at their fair value of $588,075 on the vesting date.  On June 12, 2009, an additional 152,351 shares of UFood vested in accordance with the licensing agreement.  These shares were valued at their fair value of $30,470 on the vesting date.  As the remaining shares vest in accordance with the terms of the agreement, they will also be recorded at their then estimated fair value.




In August 2008, the Company and Z-Trim Holdings, Inc. (“Z-Trim”) entered into a settlement agreement to completely and finally resolve all disputes between the parties and release each party of any allegations asserted.  The settlement included a payment to the Company by Z-Trim of $300,000 and three million shares of Z-Trim common stock valued at $450,000 at the date of issuance.  The gain on settlement of $750,000 is included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008.  The Company recorded a realized holding loss of $360,000 during the year ended December 31, 2008 reducing the value of the Z-Trim shares to $90,000 as of December 31, 2008 as management determined the investment was other-than-temporarily impaired.  During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company sold the three million shares of Z-Trim common stock for $35,000 and recorded a realized loss of $55,000 which is included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009.




The investment in common stock of KnowFat was originally accounted for under the cost method, in accordance with FASB ASC 323, “Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures”), as Ventures owns less than a 20% interest in KnowFat including all shares granted.  However, at the date of merger of KnowFat into UFood, the investment in common stock of UFood is now accounted for under FASB ASC 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities”, and classified as a trading security due to management’s intent to trade the investment in the near term.  The Company has recorded a realized holding loss of $1,040,135 on the UFood securities through December 31, 2009 and is included as a component of other income (expense) on the consolidated statement of operations as management determined the investments were other-than-temporarily impaired.

9.
PREFERRED SHARES




A trust of which George Foreman, Jr. and George Foreman III are the trustees was issued two shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock, which shares entitle the holders thereof, voting separately as a class, to elect two (2) members of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board").  The trust, as holder of such Series A Preferred Stock, has elected George Foreman and George Foreman, Jr. to serve as its designated directors on the Board.  On May 28, 2010, George Foreman and George Foreman Jr. resigned as directors and waived all rights to the shares of preferred stock which was then cancelled by the Company.




10.
DEFERRED ROYALTY REVENUES




Deferred revenues include the unearned portion of licensing fees from UFood (formerly known as KnowFat) amounting to $1,131,545, net of $638,493 recognized as revenue through December 31, 2009, to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the four-year term of the contract. Deferred revenues include the payment of minimum royalty fees from Northern Foods of $300,000, net of $157,687 recognized as revenue through December 31, 2008, to be recognized on a straight-line basis, and the unearned portion of licensing fees from UFood  amounting to $1,101,075, net of $306,601 recognized as revenue through December 31, 2008, to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the four-year term of the contract. As future shares of UFood vest (see Note 8), their fair value will be deferred and recognized over the remaining term of the contract.





11.
LEASE COMMITMENTS





Commencing as of October 1, 1999, the Company entered into a lease agreement ("Prime Lease") for 7,566 square feet of general office space located in New York City, which expires in February 2010.  Under the terms of the prime lease, the fixed monthly rent, which commenced on March 1, 2000, was $32,156 for the initial three years, $34,678 for the next four years, and $35,939 for the remainder of the term.  In July 2001, the Company entered into a sublease back with the landlord of this office space through June 30, 2006.  The landlord then subleased the premises to a third party.  The amount of fixed rent payable under the sublease to the landlord was substantially equivalent to that payable under the Prime Lease.  The Company subsequently entered into a Termination and Assignment Agreement with the landlord and the third party dated May 10, 2005.  Under the terms of the Termination and Assignment Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay the landlord $90,672 annually beginning July 1, 2006 through the expiration of the Prime Lease in February 2010.  The present value of the resulting liability has been recorded on the consolidated balance sheet.  A letter of credit, collateralized by a time deposit, has been established to secure the Company's payment to the landlord.  Provided no event of default has occurred, the Company may reduce the letter of credit by $90,792 on each anniversary beginning on June 30, 2007.   With the landlord's approval, the letter of credit was reduced from $333,000 to $242,000 in June 2007 and to $152,000 in May 2008.  On April 1, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with the landlord to pay $82,196 as early payment of the funds due under the Termination and Assignment Agreement.  This payment satisfied all obligations by the Company to the landlord and at that time the certificate of deposit was redeemed.




12.
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION





The Company records compensation expense in its consolidated statement of operations related to employee stock-based options.  For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, no options were granted and the Company did not use any cash to settle any equity instruments granted under share based arrangements.





The 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") was adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by the stockholders in 1996 and terminated on July 2, 2006.  The purpose of the Plan was to promote the long-term growth and profitability of the Company by providing key people with incentives to contribute to the growth and financial success of the Company.  The aggregate number of shares of common stock for which options may have been granted under the Plan could not exceed 6,500,000 shares as voted on by a majority of the stockholders during the 2000 annual stockholder meeting.

On July 30, 2003 the Company changed from a stock/option based compensation plan to a cash-based compensation plan for directors. Independent directors are entitled to receive $7,500 on being appointed and $7,500 as an annual retainer upon the anniversary of their appointment.  Each independent director is entitled to a payment of $1,000 for each board or committee meeting he attends; the chairperson of a committee will receive $2,000 per meeting.




The Company issued 400,000 common stock purchase warrants in connection Convertible Notes payable sold on March 7 and March 31, 2008 (see Note 17 below).  These warrants are exercisable at a price of $3.00 per share.




13.
INCOME TAXES




At December 31, 2009, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards of $96.4 million.  The timing and manner in which the remaining operating loss carry-forwards may be utilized in any year will be limited to the Company's ability to generate future earnings and by limitations imposed due to change in ownership.  Current net operating loss carry-forwards will expire principally in the years 2021 through 2028.  As the Company has not generated any significant operating revenues during recent years and no assurance can be made of future earnings, a valuation allowance in the amount of the deferred tax asset has been recorded.  The change in the valuation allowance was $53,000 in 2009 and $395,000 in 2008. There was no current or deferred provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.




The remainder of the net operating loss carry-forward also likely might effectively be obviated if certain future events were to occur that would invoke additional Section 382 provisions.  Future use of the net operating loss carry-forward therefore is extremely speculative and should not be presumed absent extensive analysis of the complex Section 382 provisions.

The Company believes it is not more likely than not that the net operating loss carry-forward will be utilized in the future. Consequently, the Company has provided valuation allowances of $36,438,000 and $36,262,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.




On January 1, 2007 the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an Interpretation of FASB No. 109” (“FIN No. 48”). FIN No. 48 addresses the determination of how tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN No. 48, the Company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The Company did not recognize any additional liabilities for uncertain tax positions as a result of the implementation of FIN No. 48.





14.
NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST




Effective January 1, 2009, the Company completed its implementation of ASC 810.




The non-controlling interest represents Mr. Foreman and GFPI’s membership interest in George Foreman Ventures, LLC and the membership interest in InStride Ventures LLC.

16. CONTINGENT LIABILITY





The Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of August 15, 2005, by and among the Company, and George Foreman and George Foreman Productions (the "Registration Rights Agreement") provides for contingent additional shares of preferred stock to be issued to GFPI unless the market capitalization of the Company exceeds an average of $20 million over a ten-day trading period within the first three years of the Registration Rights Agreement.  At Mr. Foreman's request, the Company shall issue a new series of preferred stock of the Company, having an aggregate liquidation preference of $1 million, bearing interest at 8% per annum, redeemable at the option of the holder three years from the date of issuance.  During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company, in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, "Loss Contingencies", believed it was probable at that time the market capitalization would not reach or exceed $20 million and therefore recognition of a loss contingency was appropriate.  The Company recorded a charge in 2007 of $1 million for this class of contingent preferred stock.  As of August 15, 2008, the market capitalization did not reach or exceed $20 million and the shares were issuable upon Mr. Foreman's request, subject to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement. Mr. Foreman requested these shares on or about October 8, 2008.   As of December 31, 2009 the shares were not issued. On May 28, 2010, the Company and Ventures entered into an agreement with George Foreman and GFPI, which restructured the contractual rights and obligations of the parties. As part of this agreement, Foreman agreed to waive any right to receive shares of preferred stock pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

17. CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE





On March 7, 2008, the Company sold 8% Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $800,000.  The Notes are convertible into units of the Company at a conversion price of $2.50 per unit, subject to adjustment.  Each unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 and one common stock purchase warrant, exercisable at a price of $3.00 per share, subject to adjustment.  The fair value of the detachable warrants was $640,000.  The buyers of the Notes included two entities that are controlled by Seymour Holtzman.  Mr. Holtzman was a director, chief executive officer and co-chairman of the board of directors of the Company until November 8, 2010.  The buyers also included Jeremy Anderson, the chief financial officer of the Company.  These notes were due on March 6, 2010 and the Company has not paid any of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes that was due and payable upon the maturity date. The Company paid interest on the March 7, 2008 Notes through February 7, 2010 but is in default under the Notes due to its failure to pay principal and interest in the aggregate amount of $805,333, which was due on March 6, 2010.




Effective March 31, 2008, the Company sold newly issued 8% Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000.  The Notes are also convertible into units of the Company at a conversion price of $2.50 per unit, subject to adjustment.  Also, each unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 and one common stock purchase warrant, exercisable at a price of $3.00 per share, subject to adjustment.  The fair value of the detachable warrants was $160,000.  These notes were due on March 31, 2010 and the Company has not paid any of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes that was due and payable upon the maturity date. The Company paid interest on the March 31, 2008 Notes through February 28, 2010 but is in default under the Notes due to its failure to pay principal and interest in the aggregate amount of $201,333, which was due on March 31, 2010.




Both the March 7, 2008 and the March 31, 2008 Notes are currently in default as the Notes were not paid on the maturity dates.  The default interest rate under these notes is fifteen percent (15%) and is payable until all of the Company’s obligations under the notes have been satisfied.




On December 8, 2010, the Company issued checks to all holders of the notes, in an amount equal to three (3) months of interest at the pre-default rate, which amounted to $19,500.  Jeremy Anderson waived the interest payment due to him as a holder of one of the notes and thus was not paid any amount.  The Company currently remains in default on both the March 7, 2008 and March 31, 2008 Notes.




The convertible debentures were issued in accordance with EITF 00-27, "Debt with Conversion and Other Options".  The Company calculated the value of the beneficial conversion feature embedded in the convertible notes.  In accordance with EITF 00-27, convertible notes are split into two components: a debt component and a component representing the embedded derivatives in the debt.  The debt component represents the Company’s liability for interest coupon payments and redemption amounts.  The embedded derivative represents the value of the warrant that debt holders have to convert into ordinary shares of the Company.  The debt component of the convertible note is measured at amortized cost and therefore increases, with a corresponding charge to finance cost-other than interest.  The debt component decreases by the cash interest coupon payments made.  The beneficial conversion feature is a discount against the debt and the value to the warrants increases additional paid-in capital.

ITEM 9A.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.




The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Under the supervision and participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2009, based on the material weakness described below.





A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.  A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the Company's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected.





Based upon our evaluation, we believe that internal controls over the financial reporting process are not operating effectively because the Company's severe cash shortage has resulted in the Company having insufficient personnel and other resources. This, in turn, prevented management from being able to receive the necessary financial data and other information to be disclosed in compliance with the SEC requirements. As a result, the Company became delinquent in its filing obligations with the SEC. Specifically, the Company has not been current in its filing obligations since it filed its 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. Our management presently is taking measures to address this delinquency; however, no assurance can be given in this regard.  The Company has sold a significant amount of its marketable securities and has retained an independent public accountant to audit its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009, and 2010 as well as review its quarterly financial statements for those non-filed periods.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting




Our management is responsible for establishing  and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting, as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15 (f).  Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009.  In making this assessment we used the criteria set forth in the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the COSO.  Based on such evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2009 due to material weaknesses in the controls, as discussed above.




Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting




We have taken significant actions to mitigate certain weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures that resulted in the above errors as described above.  For 2011, we are attempting to get current in our SEC filing obligations. All disclosures and new financial accounting pronouncements are reviewed internally and discussed with our independent registered accounting firm.




We are dedicated to maintaining the high standards of financial accounting and reporting that we are now establishing and are committed to providing financial information that is transparent, timely, complete and accurate.  As a result of the described above, we believe that our financial statements for the periods set forth above fairly present in all material respects our financial condition and results of operations.

Under those rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the individual has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares which the individual has the right to acquire within 60 days of August 23, 2011, through the exercise or conversion of any stock option, convertible security, warrant or other right.  Including those shares in the tables does not, however, constitute an admission that the named stockholder is a direct or indirect beneficial owner of those shares.  Unless otherwise indicated, each person or entity named in the table has sole voting power and investment power (or shares that power with that person's spouse) with respect to all shares of capital stock listed as owned by that person or entity.  Except as otherwise indicated in the table, the address of the stockholders listed below is that of the Company's principal executive office.  Directors or executive officers not included in the table below do not hold Company securities.
