NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2010

(Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION

eDiets.com, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 18, 1996 for the purpose of developing and marketing Internet-based diet and fitness programs. The Company markets its products both to consumers and to businesses primarily in North America.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. All the adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods shown are of a normal recurring nature and have been reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010. The information included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this report and the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. While the Company believes that such estimates are fair when considered in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations taken as a whole, the actual amount of such estimates, when known, may vary from these estimates.

Going Concern

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company had a net loss of approximately $34.6 million and approximately $38.4 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2010 the Company used approximately $3.9 million of cash in its operations. As of June 30, 2010, the Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $98.5 million and total stockholders’ equity of approximately $2.4 million. As of June 30, 2010, the Company’s unrestricted cash balance was approximately $3.0 million.

On April 5, 2010, the Company entered into (1) a Debt Conversion Agreement with Prides Capital Partners, LLC (“Prides”), the Company’s majority shareholder, to convert to equity the aggregate principal amount of the three outstanding notes issued in favor of Prides (the “Prides Notes”) and (2) a Debt Conversion Agreement with Kevin A. Richardson, II, one of the Company’s directors and an officer of Prides, to convert to equity the principal amount of an outstanding note issued in favor of Mr. Richardson (the “Richardson Note”). See Note 6 – Equity Transactions. The first of the Prides Notes (which were secured by substantially all of our assets) had a maturity date of August 31, 2010, with an original principal amount due of $10.0 million, together with accrued interest of approximately $5.5 million. Upon closing of the transactions on June 4, 2010, the three Prides Notes, together with accrued interest, were exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock (as further described in Note 6 – Equity Transactions).

On April 9, 2010, the Company completed a registered offering of 5,275,000 shares of common stock to investors for a price of $1.00 per share (the “Registered Offering”). The Company received net proceeds of approximately $4.9 million (see Note 6 – Equity Transactions), after placement agent fees and expenses from the Registered Offering.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

In light of the Company’s results of operations, Management has and intends to continue to evaluate various possibilities, including raising additional capital (through the issuance of common or preferred stock, securities convertible into common stock, or secured or unsecured debt), selling one or more lines of business or all or a portion of the Company’s assets, entering into a business combination, reducing or eliminating operations, liquidating assets, or seeking relief through a filing under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. These possibilities, to the extent available, may be on terms that result in significant dilution to the Company’s existing stockholders.

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Significant Accounting Policies

Digital plan revenue is generated by the Company offering membership subscriptions to the proprietary content contained in its Web sites. Subscriptions to the Company’s digital plans are paid in advance, mainly via credit/debit cards and cash receipts are deferred and recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the period of the digital plan subscription. Beginning in January 2008, the Company began to offer a guarantee to all customers, under which if a customer did not meet their weight loss goal upon completion of six consecutive months of digital subscription and met the guarantee requirements they would receive the next six months of digital subscription for free. Consequently, the Company recognizes digital subscription revenue over the potential term of twelve months of digital subscription or until the subscriber no longer meets the guarantee requirements, whichever comes first.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-45 (formerly Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 99-19), Revenue Recognition – Principal Agent Considerations, the Company recognizes gross digital subscription revenues associated with licensed diet and fitness plans based on the relevant facts of the related license agreements, while the license fee incurred to the licensor is included in cost of revenues.

Meal delivery revenue is recognized when the earnings process is complete, which is upon transfer of title of the product. This transfer occurs upon shipment from the Company’s fulfillment center to the end-customer. Meal delivery revenue includes amounts billed for shipping. In accordance with ASC 605-45, the Company recognizes gross meal delivery revenues based on the relevant fact that the Company is the primary obligor and has assumed asset risk before the customers place any orders. Beginning in January 2008, the Company began offering two promotions: a) buy seven weeks of meal delivery and get the 8th week for free and b) buy a meal delivery program and get a free non-cash gift. For the first promotion and in accordance with ASC 605-50 (formerly EITF 01-09), Revenue Recognition – Customer Payments and Incentives, the Company recognizes the cost of the free offer as cost of revenue proportionally over the term of the meal delivery subscription or until the customer cancels and no longer is entitled to the free offer. For the second promotion and in accordance with ASC 605-50 the Company recognizes meal delivery revenue when the meals are shipped and the cost of the free non-cash gift as cost of sales when the non-cash gift is shipped.

Business-to-business revenue relates to the Company’s Nutrio subsidiary, also known as eDiets Corporate Services. eDiets Corporate Services generates three types of business-to-business revenue. Licensing and development revenues are accounted for in accordance with ASC 605-25 (formerly EITF 00-21), Revenue Recognition – Multiple Deliverables. Development revenue relates to the planning, design and development of websites for customers. Both licensing and development revenues are recognized on a straight line basis over the license period once the website is launched. Consulting revenue relates to consulting services provided to customers and revenue is recognized when services and/or deliverables are completed and collection is probable.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

Advertising revenue is recognized in the period the advertisement is displayed, provided that no significant Company obligation remains and collection is probable. Company obligations typically include guarantees of a minimum number of “impressions” or times that visitors to the Company’s website view an advertisement. Amounts received or billed for which impressions have not yet been delivered are reflected as deferred revenue. Opt-in email revenue is derived from the sale of email addresses of visitors to the Company’s websites who have authorized the Company to allow third party solicitations. Revenues from the sale of email addresses are recognized when no significant Company obligation remains and collection is probable.

Ecommerce revenue is currently derived from the sale of the Company’s various health and fitness store products, including vitamin supplements, to consumers. The Company offers an unconditional 30-day guarantee on all of its products. In accordance with ASC 605-15-25-1 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 48), Revenue Recognition – Products, the Company recognizes revenue on those products only when the guarantee period lapses.

Royalty revenue is derived from the exclusive technology licensing agreement related to the Company’s operations in the United Kingdom and Ireland and is being recognized on a straight-line basis. On July 31, 2009, the Company terminated the 15-year exclusive licensing agreement with Tesco Ireland Limited (“Tesco”) which provided Tesco with exclusive rights to use the Company’s personalized diet technology in the United Kingdom and Ireland, with an effective date of July 1, 2009. The termination agreement provides Tesco with certain continuing rights in the Company technology used by or incorporated into Tesco’s diet website prior to termination, including a three-year non-exclusive right to use such technology and, thereafter, an assignment of certain intellectual property rights relating to such technology.

The Company adopted ASC 820 (formerly SFAS 157), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, as of January 1, 2008. ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company converted approximately $22.1 million of senior secured notes into 22,088,981 shares of the Company’s common stock during June of 2010, as discussed more fully in Note 6. The senior secured notes were not traded in an active market and were previously held by the Company’s largest shareholder, Prides.

The Company establishes a reserve for refunds for digital plan and meal delivery sales. Since all digital plan subscriber payments are deferred upon receipt, at the end of each month a portion of the deferred revenue is reclassified as a reserve for refunds. Based on historical experience, a range of between approximately 1%-3% of digital plan subscriber sales will result in a refund issued in the subsequent month after sale. All other refunds issued relate to current month digital plan subscriber sales. Because the revenue has not been recognized, refunds do not result in a reversal of digital plan subscription revenue. Instead, refunds result in a decrease to the amounts maintained in deferred revenue. Meal delivery refunds mainly result from late shipments or packaging issues. Based on historical experience, a range of between approximately 1%-3% of prior month’s meal delivery sales will result in a refund, accordingly the Company estimates a reserve based on that assumption for future refunds. The Company does not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions used to calculate the reserve for refunds. However, if actual results are not consistent with the estimates or assumptions stated above, the Company may be exposed to income or losses that could be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, (amendments to FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition) and ASU 2009-14, Certain Arrangements That Include Software Elements, (amendments to FASB ASC 985, Software). ASU 2009-13 requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy. The amendments eliminate the residual method of revenue allocation and require revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method. ASU 2009-14 removes tangible products from the scope of software revenue guidance and provides guidance on determining whether software deliverables in an arrangement that includes a tangible product are covered by the scope of the software revenue guidance. ASU 2009-13 and ASU 2009-14 are required to be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of ASU 2009-13 or ASU 2009-14 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

3. INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL

Intangible assets related to the acquisition of Nutrio.com, Inc. (“Nutrio”) in May 2006 were being amortized using the straight-line method over periods ranging from 2-5 years with a weighted average life of approximately 2.8 years. The Company regularly reviews identified intangible assets to determine if facts and circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter than the Company originally estimated or that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If such facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses the recoverability of the finite-lived intangible assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts.

The Nutrio tradename, which was acquired in May 2006, was the only finite-lived intangible asset with a remaining carrying value at the time of the review of Nutrio’s intangibles during the second quarter of 2010. As a result of customer contracts that will not be renewed, as well as certain new contract opportunities that have been delayed or cancelled due to customer concerns regarding economic uncertainty, the Company performed an impairment assessment of Nutrio’s finite-lived intangible assets. At the time of the assessment, the remaining carrying value of the tradename was approximately $30,000. The Company determined there are no future cash flows attributed to the tradename intangible asset. Since the undiscounted cash flows are zero, compared to the carrying value of approximately $30,000, the Company deemed that the tradename was fully impaired. The non-cash impairment charge of approximately $30,000 relating to the tradename was recorded under “Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Prior to the impairment charge, aggregate amortization expense of intangible assets was approximately $17,000 and $270,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Company reviews its goodwill on an annual basis, or more frequently if events and circumstances warrant, to determine, if any impairment exists. The Company follows the provisions of ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (formerly SFAS 142). ASC 350 requires goodwill to be subject to an assessment of impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that a possible impairment has occurred. The assessment of impairment involves a two-step process prescribed in ASC 350, whereby an initial assessment for potential impairment is performed, followed by a measurement of the amount of impairment, if any. ASC 350 describes the reporting unit as an “operating segment” as that term is used in ASC 280, Segment Reporting (formerly SFAS 131). The Company operates in a single market consisting of the sale of services, information and products related to nutrition, fitness and motivation. The Company has three reportable segments: the U.S. business-to-consumer segment (which includes meal delivery), the U.S. business-to-business segment (which includes eDiets Corporate Services) and the European business segment. The Company evaluates goodwill along these segment lines, which represent the Company’s reporting units. The Company performed additional impairment assessments which resulted in impairment charges as described below.

During the second quarter of 2010, indicators of potential impairment of the U.S. business-to-business reporting unit caused the Company to conduct an interim impairment test of its goodwill. Those indicators included customer contracts that will not be renewed, as well as certain new contract opportunities that have been delayed or cancelled due to customer concerns regarding economic uncertainty. The Company completed step one of the impairment analysis and estimated the fair value of the U.S. business-to-business reporting unit using a discounted cash flows method. The discount rate used was the Company’s weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) discount rate. The WACC includes the cost of debt and the cost of equity and was derived using the Capital Asset Pricing Model, whereby market participants were identified and used in management’s calculation of the WACC. Upon performing the first step of the goodwill impairment test, the Company determined that the carrying amount of this reporting unit exceeded its fair value, based on a discounted cash flows method. Therefore, the second step of the goodwill impairment test was performed to allocate the fair value of the reporting unit to the fair value of all tangible and identifiable intangible assets and determine the implied value of goodwill. Determining the implied value of goodwill requires the valuation of the reporting unit’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities in a manner similar to the allocation of purchase price in a business combination. This analysis indicated a remaining implied value of goodwill of zero which the Company compared to the carrying amount of the goodwill. As a result, the Company determined that its goodwill was fully impaired. This resulted in a non-cash impairment of goodwill of approximately $6.8 million, which is included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations under “Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets” for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

On April 5, 2010, the Company entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement with Prides (the “Prides Debt Conversion Agreement”) to convert the aggregate principal amount of the three outstanding Prides Notes, plus all accrued and unpaid interest through the date of conversion, into common stock at a price equal to the price at which the common stock was sold in the Registered Offering, or $1.00 per share (the “Prides Debt Conversion”). Also on April 5, 2010, the Company entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement with Mr. Richardson (the “Richardson Debt Conversion Agreement”) to convert the principal amount of the Richardson Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest through the date of conversion, into common stock at a price equal to the price at which the common stock was sold in the Registered Offering, or $1.00 per share. (the “Richardson Debt Conversion” and, together with the Prides Debt Conversion, the “Debt Conversions”).

In addition, on April 5, 2010, the Company entered into Securities Subscription and Purchase Agreements with Mr. Richardson, Kevin N. McGrath, one of the Company’s directors and its President and Chief Executive Officer, and Lee S. Isgur, one of the Company’s directors, pursuant to which they agreed to purchase $500,000 of common stock at a price equal to the price at which the common stock was sold in the Registered Offering, or $1.00 per share (the “Private Placement”).

The Debt Conversions and the Private Placement each closed on June 4, 2010. At closing, the Company issued 22,088,981 shares of common stock to Prides in full satisfaction of the Prides Notes, and the Company issued 506,027 shares of common stock to Mr. Richardson in full satisfaction of the Richardson Note. In addition, the Company issued 500,000 shares of common stock in connection with the Private Placement.

2010 Registered Offering of Common Stock

On April 9, 2010, the Company completed the Registered Offering of 5,275,000 shares of common stock to investors for a price of $1.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $4.9 million, after placement agent fees and expenses from the Registered Offering.

Warrants Issued to Related Parties

The Company issued Warrants to purchase approximately 1.19 million shares at $6.00 per share to Prides in connection with the private placement that occurred in connection with the May 2006 acquisition of Nutrio. In connection with the Notes issued in August 2007 and May 2008, as described in Note 8, the Company issued warrants to purchase 1.0 million shares at $5.00 per share and 0.5 million shares at $4.25 per share, respectively.

In connection with the Warrant Amendment as described in Note 8, on June 23, 2009, the Company agreed to reduce the price of all Prides outstanding warrants to $1.00, and Prides agreed to use diligent efforts to exercise, in one or more tranches, a portion of the outstanding warrants as soon as reasonably practicable in order to purchase 2.5 million shares underlying these outstanding warrants. The repricing of these warrants resulted in an additional fair value of the warrants of approximately $0.5 million. To encourage the exercise of Prides rights under the outstanding warrants, as amended by the Warrant Amendment, the Company agreed in the Warrant Amendment to issue Prides one or more New Warrants to purchase nine shares of the Company’s common stock for every 20 shares purchased by Prides as a result of an exercise of the outstanding warrants with an exercise price of $1.20 per share.

2009 Related Party Equity Transactions

On June 23, 2009 and on September 8, 2009, respectively, the Company executed Securities Subscription and Purchase Agreements (collectively the “Purchase Agreements”) with three of its directors, Kevin A. Richardson II, Lee Isgur and Kevin McGrath, who is also the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreements, the three directors agreed to purchase an aggregate of 1,066,040 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for an aggregate of $1.1 million in cash in a Private Placement (the “2009 Private Placement”). The Company used the $1.1 million of gross proceeds from the share sale to fund its business. As part of the 2009 Private Placement, the Company agreed to issue Warrants for the Purchase of Shares of Common Stock (each a “Warrant”) to the three directors, to purchase an aggregate of 479,718 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.20 per share. Each Warrant has a ten year expiration date, is exercisable beginning immediately and provides for a cashless “net” exercise under certain conditions with respect to up to 25% of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereof. The exercise price of each Warrant is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances; however, no adjustment to the exercise price will operate to reduce the exercise price to a price less than the closing price of the Company’s common stock on (i) June 22, 2009, for Warrants issued in connection with the June 2009 transaction, and (ii) September 4, 2009, for Warrants issued in connection with the September 2009 transaction. The Company has the option to change the expiration date of the Warrant in the event that the closing price per share of common stock is in excess of 150% of the exercise price for thirty (30) consecutive days as reflected on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

The Company also executed a Registration Rights Agreement (“Registration Rights Agreement”) with the three directors participating in the Private Placement and with Prides Capital. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agrees to register, upon the occurrence of certain conditions, the resale of the shares of common stock issued to the three directors and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant and New Warrant.

In September 2009, Prides exercised a portion of the outstanding warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. In connection with this exercise, the Company received $0.2 million and issued a New Warrant, with a 10-year term, to purchase 90,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.20 per share. The Company has the option to change the expiration date of the Warrant in the event that the closing price per share of common stock is in excess of 150% of the exercise price for thirty (30) consecutive days as reflected on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company grants stock options, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards to its employees, officers, directors and consultants. In November 2004, the Company adopted the eDiets.com, Inc. 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) (as amended effective May 6, 2008 and as amended and restated effective May 4, 2010). The Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options or “ISOs”, non-qualified stock options or “NSOs”, stock appreciation rights or “SARs”, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance awards, deferred stock and unrestricted stock. The Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”). A maximum of 6,000,000 shares of common stock may be delivered in satisfaction of awards made under the Incentive Plan. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued in any calendar year pursuant to the exercise of ISOs and NSOs is 3,000,000 each. The maximum number of shares as to which options may be granted under the Incentive Plan in any calendar year is 2,000,000 shares. The maximum number of shares subject to SARs under the Incentive Plan in any calendar year is 2,000,000 shares. The maximum number of shares subject to performance awards granted under the Incentive Plan in any calendar year is 800,000 shares. The term of any ISO granted under the Incentive Plan may not exceed ten years, or five years if granted to a person that owns common stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company. Options granted under the Incentive Plan generally vest ratably over a three-year period. SARs may be granted either in tandem with or independent of stock options. The Incentive Plan also provides for awards of fully vested unrestricted stock, but no more than 360,000 shares in the aggregate may be granted at less than fair market value unless granted in lieu of cash compensation equal to such fair market value. The Incentive Plan also provides for deferred grants entitling the recipient to receive common stock upon satisfaction of conditions determined by the Committee in its discretion. The Incentive Plan provides for performance award grants which may be linked to the market value, book value, net profits or other measure of the value of common stock or other specific performance criteria determined appropriate by the Committee, or may be based upon the appreciation in the market value, book value, net profits or other measure of the value of a specified number of shares of common stock over a fixed period or periods determined by the Committee.

As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, there were 23,000 and 248,000 RSUs outstanding, respectively, which excludes certain RSUs subject to performance-based vesting conditions as disclosed below on page 15, and 3,386,415 and 2,973,477 options outstanding, respectively, under the Incentive Plan.

In November 1999, the Company adopted the eDiets.com, Inc. Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) (as amended and restated effective April 1, 2002 and as amended effective September 30, 2009). The Plan terminated in November 2009 pursuant to the Plan provisions and therefore, the Company will not grant any additional shares or options under the Plan. The Plan, as amended, provided for the grant of ISOs and NSOs to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to employees, directors and consultants to the Company. Options granted to employees under the Plan generally vest ratably over a two- or three-year period and expire five or ten years from the date of grant. Such options generally have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock at the grant date and are fully exercisable on the date of grant for a period of up to five to ten years. In October 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment (effective September 30, 2009) allowing for the transferability of stock options under limited circumstances. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, 901,270 and 1,133,230 options, respectively, were outstanding under the Plan.

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans in accordance with ASC 718-10 (formerly SFAS 123R), Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under the provisions of ASC 718-10, the Company estimates the fair value of each stock option on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton (BSM) option-pricing formula, applying the following assumptions, and amortizes that value to expense over the option’s vesting period using the straight-line attribution method.

Expected Term: The expected term represents the period over which the share-based awards are expected to be outstanding for employees, officers and directors. The Company uses the historical exercise experience in determining the expected term. For consultants, the expected term is equal to the term of the share-based awards.

Risk-Free Interest Rate: The Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in its assumptions on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equivalent to the stock option award’s expected term.

Expected Volatility: The volatility factor used in the Company’s assumptions is based on the historical price of its stock from 2001 to the current period because the Company believes that this extended period reflects the true Company history.

Expected Dividend Yield: The Company does not intend to pay dividends on its common stock for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company uses a dividend yield of zero in its assumptions.

As required by ASC 718-10, the Company estimates forfeitures of employee stock options, RSUs and restricted stock awards and recognizes compensation cost only for those awards expected to vest. Forfeiture rates are determined for three groups (employees, officers and directors) based on historical experience. Estimated forfeitures are adjusted to the actual forfeiture experience as needed.

During the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense under ASC 718-10 (related to stock options, RSUs and restricted stock awards) of approximately $0.3 million and approximately $0.3 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense under ASC 718-10 (related to stock options, RSUs and restricted stock awards) of approximately $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

In March 2008, 69,000 RSUs were awarded to an officer, subject to performance-based vesting conditions. Performance conditions were established for one third, or 23,000 RSUs , which were expected to vest in March 2009, but as the performance condition was not achieved, all previously recorded compensation cost of approximately $0.1 million was reversed in the first quarter of 2009. As of June 30, 2010, performance conditions have not been established by the Board for the remaining 46,000 RSUs, and thus no compensation expense has been recorded to date related to these 46,000 RSUs. At the time that the performance conditions are established, the value of these RSUs will be determined and the resulting compensation cost recorded. All 69,000 RSUs are not vested as of June 30, 2010. The 46,000 RSUs have been excluded from the summary of RSU activity above.

In December 2008, 425,000 RSUs were awarded to an officer, subject to performance-based vesting conditions, which have not yet been established by the Board, and thus no compensation expense has been recorded to date related to these RSUs. At the time that the performance conditions are established, the value of these RSUs will be determined and the resulting compensation cost recorded. These 425,000 RSUs have been excluded from the summary of RSU activity above.

In January 2009, 5,000 RSUs were awarded to an officer, subject to performance-based vesting conditions, which have not yet been established by the Board, and thus no compensation expense has been recorded to date related to these RSUs. At the time that the performance conditions are established, the value of these RSUs will be determined and the resulting compensation cost recorded. These 5,000 RSUs have been excluded from the summary of RSU activity above.

8. DEBT TRANSACTIONS

On August 31, 2007, the Company borrowed $10.0 million from Prides, in the form of a Senior Secured Note and accompanying agreements (“First Note”). The First Note, along with accrued and paid-in-kind interest, was converted into 15,000,643 shares of the Company’s common stock on June 4, 2010 (“First Note Debt Conversion”). The Company recorded approximately $14.8 million of additional interest expense due to the reduction in conversion price associated with the First Note Debt Conversion.

In accordance with ASC 470-20-55 (formerly EITF 98-5) and ASC 470-20-30 (formerly EITF 00-27), Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options, the First Note’s conversion feature was considered a beneficial conversion feature and was treated as a note discount with a fair value of approximately $2.4 million, which was amortized to interest expense through June 4, 2010 using the effective interest method. As of June 30, 2010, the Company amortized approximately $2.1 million of the beneficial conversion feature discount and adjusted the additional $0.3 million to interest expense incurred with the First Note Debt Conversion.

Additionally, in connection with the issuance of the First Note, a warrant to purchase one million shares of the Company’s common stock at $5.00 per share was issued to Prides. The warrant had a 10-year term and was redeemable at the option of the Company. The Company determined in accordance with ASC 470-20-25 (formerly Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14), Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options, that the warrant had a relative fair value of $1.8 million, which was treated as a note discount and amortized using the effective interest method until the debt was converted on June 4, 2010. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had amortized approximately $1.6 million of this discount and adjusted the additional $0.2 million to interest expense incurred with the First Note Debt Conversion.

On June 23, 2009, the Company executed an Agreement to Amend Warrants (“Warrant Amendment”) in which the Company agreed to amend this warrant, among others, to reduce the purchase price per share of common stock to $1.00 and the warrants were exercised at the $1.00 exercise price during 2009 (as described in Note 6).

The Company incurred approximately $0.2 million in issuance costs paid directly to Prides in connection with the First Note. In accordance with ASC 470-20-30, these issuance costs were treated as a note discount and were amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method through June 4, 2010. As of June 30, 2010, the Company amortized approximately $180,000 of this discount and adjusted the additional $20,000 to interest expense incurred with the First Note Debt Conversion.

The Company recorded approximately $0.8 million and $1.8 million of interest expense prior to the First Note Debt Conversion, including amortization of the note discounts of $0.4 million and $0.9 million, related to the First Note for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The Company recorded approximately $0.9 million and $1.7 million of interest expense, including amortization of the note discounts of $0.4 million and $0.7 million, related to the First Note for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. These amounts are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations under “Interest expense”.

On May 30, 2008, the Company borrowed an additional $2.6 million from Prides in the form of a Senior Secured Note and accompanying agreements (“Second Note”). The Second Note, along with accrued and paid-in-kind interest, was converted into 3,718,176 shares of the Company’s common stock on June 4, 2010 (“Second Note Debt Conversion”). The Company recorded approximately $4.1 million of additional interest expense due to the reduction in conversion price associated with the Second Note Debt Conversion.

In accordance with ASC 470-20-55 (formerly EITF 98-5) and ASC 470-20-30 (formerly EITF 00-27), Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options, the Second Note’s conversion feature was considered a beneficial conversion feature and was treated as a note discount with a fair value of approximately $1.1 million, which was amortized to interest expense through June 4, 2010 using the effective interest method. As of June 30, 2010, the Company amortized approximately $0.5 million of the beneficial conversion feature discount and adjusted the additional $0.6 million to interest expense incurred with the Second Note Debt Conversion.

Additionally, in connection with the issuance of the Second Note, a warrant to purchase approximately 0.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock at $4.25 per share was issued to Prides. The warrant had a 10-year term and was redeemable at the option of the Company. The Company determined in accordance with ASC 470-20-25 (formerly Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14), Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options, that the warrant had a relative fair value of $1.0 million, which was treated as a note discount and amortized using the effective interest method until the debt was converted on June 4, 2010. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had amortized approximately $0.4 million of this discount and adjusted the additional $0.6 million to interest expense incurred with the Second Note Debt Conversion.

In connection with the Warrant Amendment mentioned above, on June 23, 2009, the Company agreed to amend this warrant, among others, to reduce the purchase price per share of common stock to $1.00, and the warrants were exercised at the $1.00 exercise price during 2009 (as described in Note 6).

The Company incurred approximately $0.1 million in issuance costs paid directly to Prides in connection with the Second Note. In accordance with ASC 470-20-30, these issuance costs were treated as a note discount and were amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method through June 4, 2010. As of June 30, 2010, the Company amortized approximately $47,000 of this discount and adjusted the additional $48,000 to interest expense incurred with the Second Note Debt Conversion.

The Company recorded approximately $0.3 million and $0.6 million of interest expense prior to the Second Note Debt Conversion, including amortization of the note discounts and expenses of approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million, related to the Second Note for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The Company recorded approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million of interest expense, including amortization of the note discounts of approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, related to the Second Note for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. These amounts are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations under “Interest expense”.

In the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement for the Second Note, Prides committed to provide the Company with an additional $2.55 million in Senior Secured Notes (“Third Note”), with terms similar to the Second Note and as set forth in the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement. On November 13, 2008 the Company executed the Third Note and the issuance of this Third Note does not impact the accounting or the valuation of the warrants that were issued in connection with the Second Note. The Third Note, along with accrued and paid-in-kind interest, was converted into 3,370,162 shares of the Company’s common stock on June 4, 2010 (“Third Note Debt Conversion”). The Company recorded approximately $3.1 million of additional interest expense due to the reduction in conversion price associated with the Third Note Debt Conversion.

In accordance with ASC 470-20-55 (formerly EITF 98-5) and ASC 470-20-30 (formerly EITF 00-27), Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options, the Third Note’s conversion feature was considered a beneficial conversion feature and was treated as a note discount with a fair value of approximately $0.1 million, which was amortized through June 4, 2010 using the effective interest method. As of June 30, 2010, the Company amortized approximately $33,000 of the beneficial conversion feature discount and adjusted the additional $39,000 to interest expense incurred with the Third Note Debt Conversion.

The Company incurred approximately $0.1 million in issuance costs paid directly to Prides in connection with the Third Note. In accordance with ASC 470-20-30, these issuance costs were treated as a note discount and were amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method through June 4, 2010. As of June 30, 2010, the Company amortized approximately $26,000 of this discount and adjusted the additional $30,000 to interest expense incurred with the Third Note Debt Conversion at the time of the Third Note Debt Conversion.

The Company recorded approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million of interest expense prior to the Third Note Debt Conversion, including amortization of the note discounts and expenses of approximately $10,000 and $27,000, related to the Third Note for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The Company recorded approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million of interest expense, including amortization of the note discounts of approximately $9,000 and $21,000, related to the Third Note for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. These amounts are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations under “Interest expense”.

On March 9, 2010, the Company issued the Richardson Note to Kevin A. Richardson II, one of the Company’s directors and an officer of Prides. Pursuant to the Richardson Note, the Company borrowed $500,000 from Kevin A. Richardson II. The Richardson Note, along with accrued interest, was converted into 506,027 shares of the Company’s common stock on June 4, 2010.

The First Note, Second Note and Third Note previously placed certain limitations on the Company’s ability to enter into various transactions including, in aggregate, capital leases in excess of $2 million, other forms of indebtedness in excess of $250,000, and total investments in excess of $250,000. Pursuant to the Prides Debt Conversion Agreement, Prides has agreed to release all security interests, liens and other encumbrances on the assets of the Company held by Prides pursuant to its existing Security Agreements. Further, pursuant to the Prides Debt Conversion Agreement, Prides has agreed to release the guarantors under any and all obligations arising under or in connection with the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreements in favor of Prides dated August 31, 2007 and May 30, 2008.

Pursuant to the Prides Debt Conversion Agreement, Prides waived (i) the prohibition on related party transactions outside the ordinary course of business under its August 2007 Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement and the May 2008 Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with the Company as to the Registered Offering, the Private Placement and the Richardson Debt Conversion, (ii) the prepayment premium pursuant to certain of the Prides Notes in respect of the Prides Debt Conversion, and (iii) the mandatory prepayment provisions pursuant to certain of the Prides Notes in respect of the Registered Offering, the Private Placement, and the Richardson Debt Conversion.

9. LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Basic loss per common share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method), which were not included in diluted loss per share as they would have been anti-dilutive and were approximately 499,000 and 541,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and approximately 750,000 for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company had zero dilutive potential common shares related to its convertible debt. This debt was converted to 22,088,981 shares of the Company’s common stock during June of 2010 as further described in Note 6.

11. SEGMENT INFORMATION

ASC 280 (formerly SFAS 131), Segment Reporting, designates the internal reporting that is used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments.

The Company operates in a single market consisting of the sale of services, information and products (ecommerce and meal delivery) related to nutrition, fitness and motivation. The Company has three reportable segments: the U.S. business-to-consumer segment, the U.S. business-to-business segment and the European business segment. Meal delivery and Digital plans operations are included in the U.S. business-to-consumer segment.

The Company does not engage in inter-company revenue transfers between segments. The Company’s management evaluates performance based primarily on business segment. Accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Company’s consolidated accounting policies.

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

OUR BUSINESS

Products and Services

eDiets.com, Inc. (“eDiets”, “the Company” or “we”) leverages the power of technology to bring weight loss solutions to both consumers and businesses. We generate revenue in four ways.

 

   

We sell digital weight-loss programs.

 

   

We offer a nationwide weight loss oriented meal delivery service.

 

   

We derive licensing revenues for the use of our intellectual property and development revenues related to the planning, design and development of private-label nutrition Web sites.

 

   

We sell advertising throughout our content assets, which are our diet, fitness and healthy lifestyle-oriented Web sites.

Subscription Business (includes our digital subscription-based plans and our meal delivery plans)

We have been offering digital subscription-based plans in the United States since 1998, when we launched our first diet plan. Our digital diet plans are personalized according to an individual’s weight goals, food and cooking preferences and include the related shopping lists and recipes. eDiets offers a variety of approximately twenty different digital diet plans, some of which we have developed and some of which we have licensed from third parties under exclusive arrangements. We also offer a subscription-based nationwide weight loss oriented meal delivery service.

Subscribers to our digital diet and meal delivery plans are acquired through our own advertising or through co-marketing arrangements with third parties. In addition to a digital diet or meal delivery product, they receive access to support offerings including interactive online information, communities and education as well as telephone and online support. eDiets offers message boards on various topics of interest to our subscribers, online meetings presented by licensed mental health counselors, registered dietitians and certified fitness trainers and the resources of approximately 30 customer service representatives, nutritionists and fitness personnel.

Digital subscription programs ranging from four weeks to 52 weeks are billed in advance in varying increments of time. Substantially all of our digital subscribers purchase programs via credit/debit cards, with renewals billed automatically, until cancellation.

Meal delivery subscribers purchase a full week or five days of prepared breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, supplemented by snacks that are generally shipped to arrive within two or three days.

License Business (includes business-to-business and royalty revenue)

Our eDiets Corporate Services subsidiary is actively engaged in providing private label online nutrition, fitness and wellness programs to companies mainly in the health insurance, pharmaceutical and food industries.

Table of Contents

We also recognize royalty revenue as a result of having licensed to Tesco plc (“Tesco”) the exclusive rights to use eDiets brand and diet plan technology in the UK and Ireland. Effective July 31, 2009, we terminated this exclusive licensing agreement with Tesco. The termination agreement provides Tesco with certain continuing rights in the Company technology used by or incorporated into Tesco’s diet website prior to termination, including a three-year non-exclusive right to use such technology and, thereafter, an assignment of certain intellectual property rights relating to such technology.

Content Business (includes advertising and ecommerce revenue)

Our advertising sales revenues are derived from our flagship Web site, www.eDiets.com. The site includes free, regularly updated content developed primarily by our in-house editorial staff. Content is grouped into “channels” including Diet & Nutrition, Fitness, Mind & Body, Health, Food & Recipes and Success Stories.

Additional advertising revenues are generated through placements in our free opt-in email newsletters and through placements within the subscription sales process.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We have identified the policies outlined below as critical to our business operations and an understanding of our results of operations. The listing is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with no need for management’s judgment in their application. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Note that our preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

REVENUE RECOGNITION:

We offer memberships to the proprietary content contained in our Web sites. Revenues from customer subscriptions are paid in advance mainly via credit/debit cards. Subscriptions to the digital plans are paid in advance and cash receipts are deferred and recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the period of the digital plan subscription. Beginning in January 2008, we began to offer a guarantee to all customers, under which if a customer did not meet their weight loss goal upon completion of six consecutive months of digital subscription and met the guarantee requirements they would receive the next six months of digital subscription for free. We recognize digital subscription revenue over the potential term of twelve months of digital subscription or until the subscriber no longer meets the guarantee requirements, whichever comes first.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605-45 (formerly Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 99-19), Revenue Recognition – Principal Agent Considerations, we recognize gross digital subscription revenues associated with licensed diet and fitness plans based on the relevant facts of the related license agreements, while the license fee incurred to the licensor is included in cost of revenues.

Meal delivery revenue is recognized when the earnings process is complete, which is upon transfer of title of the product. This transfer occurs upon shipment from our fulfillment center to the end-customer. Meal delivery revenue includes amounts billed for shipping. In accordance with ASC 605-45, we recognize gross meal delivery revenues based on the relevant fact that we are the primary obligor and have assumed asset risk when the orders are shipped to our customers. Beginning in January 2008 we began offering two promotions: a) buy seven weeks of meal delivery and get the 8th week for free and b) buy a meal delivery program and get a free non-cash gift. For the first promotion and in accordance with ASC 605-50 (formerly EITF 01-09), Revenue Recognition – Customer Payments and Incentives, we recognize the cost of the free offer as cost of revenue proportionally over the term of the meal delivery subscription or until the customer cancels and no longer is entitled to the free offer. For the second promotion and in accordance with ASC 605-45, we recognize meal delivery revenue when the meals are shipped and the cost of the free non-cash gift as cost of sales when the non-cash gift is shipped.

Table of Contents

Business-to-business revenue relates to our eDiets Corporate Services subsidiary. eDiets Corporate Services generates three types of business-to-business revenue. Licensing and development revenues are accounted for in accordance with 605-25 (formerly EITF 00-21), Revenue Recognition – Multiple Deliverables. Development revenue relates to the planning, design and development of websites for customers. Both licensing and development revenues are recognized on a straight line basis over the license period once the website is launched. Consulting revenue relates to consulting services provided to customers and revenue is recognized when services and/or deliverables are completed and collection is probable.

Advertising revenue is recognized in the period the advertisement is displayed, provided that no significant Company obligation remains and collection is probable. Our obligations typically include guarantees of a minimum number of “impressions” or times that visitors to our Web site view an advertisement. Amounts received or billed for which impressions have not yet been delivered are reflected as deferred revenue. Opt-in email revenue is derived from the sale of email addresses of visitors to our Web sites who have authorized us to allow third party solicitations. Revenues from the sale of email addresses are recognized when no significant Company obligation remains and collection is probable.

Ecommerce revenue is currently derived from the sale of our various health and fitness store products, including vitamin supplements, to consumers. We offer an unconditional 30-day guarantee on all of our products. In accordance with ASC 605-15-25-1 (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 48), Revenue Recognition – Products, we recognize revenue on those products only when the guarantee period lapses.

Royalty revenue is derived from the exclusive technology licensing agreement related to our previous operations in the United Kingdom and Ireland and is being recognized on a straight-line basis.

Our most significant accounting estimate is our reserve for refunds for digital plan and meal delivery. Since digital plan subscriber payments are deferred upon receipt, at the end of each month we reclassify a portion of our deferred revenue to reserve for refunds. Based on historical experience, a range of between approximately 1%-3% of digital plan subscriber sales will result in a refund issued in the subsequent month after sale. All other refunds issued relate to current month digital plan subscriber sales. Because the revenue has not been recognized, refunds do not result in a reversal of digital plan subscription revenue. Instead, refunds result in a decrease to the amounts maintained in deferred revenue. Meal delivery refunds mainly result from late shipments or packaging issues. Based on historical experience, a range of between approximately 1%-3% of prior month’s meal delivery sales will result in a refund, accordingly we estimate a reserve based on that assumption for future refunds. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions we use to calculate the reserve for refunds. However, if actual results are not consistent with our estimates or assumptions stated above, we may be exposed to income or losses that could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS:

We regularly review identified intangible assets to determine if facts and circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter than we originally estimated or that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If such facts and circumstances exist, we assess the recoverability of the finite-lived intangible assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts.

As a result of customer contracts that will not be renewed, as well as certain new contract opportunities that have been delayed or cancelled due to customer concerns regarding economic uncertainty, we performed an impairment assessment of Nutrio’s finite-lived intangible assets. We determined there are no future cash flows attributed to the tradename intangible asset. Since the undiscounted cash flows are zero, compared to the carrying value of approximately $30,000, the Company deemed that the tradename was fully impaired. The non-cash impairment charge of approximately $30,000 relating to the tradename was recorded under “Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

ASC 350 describes the reporting unit as an “operating segment” as that term is used in ASC 280, Segment Reporting (formerly SFAS 131). We operate in a single market consisting of the sale of services, information and products related to nutrition, fitness and motivation. We have three reportable segments: the U.S. business-to-consumer segment (which includes meal delivery), the U.S. business-to-business segment (which includes eDiets Corporate Services) and the European business segment. We evaluate goodwill along these segment lines, which represent our reporting units.

 

22


Table of Contents

We use judgment in assessing goodwill for impairment. Goodwill is reviewed annually for impairment, or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount could exceed fair value. Fair value of the Company’s reporting units is based on discounted cash flows using a discount rate determined by our management to be consistent with industry discount rates and the risks inherent in our current business model. Assumptions used in our impairment testing, such as forecasted growth rates and cost of capital, are consistent with internal projections and operating plans. Due to uncertain market conditions and potential changes in our strategy and product portfolio, it is possible that the forecasts we use to support our goodwill result in non-cash charges that adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Our impairment testing may be impacted by, among other things, our expected operating performance, ability to retain key personnel, changes in operating segments and competitive environment.

During the second quarter of 2010, indicators of potential impairment of the U.S. business-to-business reporting unit caused us to conduct an interim impairment test. Those indicators included customer contracts that will not be renewed, as well as certain new contract opportunities that have been delayed or cancelled due to customer concerns regarding economic uncertainty. We completed step one of the impairment analysis and estimated the fair value of the U.S. business-to-business reporting unit using a discounted cash flows method. The discount rate used was the Company’s weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) discount rate. The WACC includes the cost of debt and the cost of equity and was derived using the Capital Asset Pricing Model, whereby market participants were identified and used in our calculation of the WACC. Upon performing the first step of the goodwill impairment test, we determined that the carrying amount of this reporting unit exceeded its fair value, based on a discounted cash flows method. Therefore, the second step of the goodwill impairment test was performed to allocate the fair value of the reporting unit to the fair value of all tangible and identifiable intangible assets and determine the implied value of goodwill. Determining the implied value of goodwill requires the valuation of the reporting unit’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities in a manner similar to the allocation of purchase price in a business combination. This analysis indicated a remaining implied value of goodwill of zero which we compared to the carrying amount of the goodwill.

As a result of the assessments performed, we determined that goodwill and intangible assets, specifically the tradename, were fully impaired. This resulted in a non-cash impairment of goodwill and intangible assets of approximately $6.9 million, which is included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations under “Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets” for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we had a net loss of approximately $34.6 million and $38.4 million, respectively. We used approximately $3.9 million of cash in our operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2010, we had an accumulated deficit of $98.5 million, total stockholders’ equity of $2.4 million and our unrestricted cash balance was approximately $3.0 million.

In light of our results of operations, we have and intend to continue to evaluate various possibilities, including raising additional capital (through the issuance of common or preferred stock, securities convertible into common stock, or secured or unsecured debt), selling one or more of our lines of business or all or a portion of our assets, entering into a business combination, reducing or eliminating operations, liquidating assets, or seeking relief through a filing under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. These possibilities, to the extent available, may be on terms that result in significant dilution to our existing stockholders. Our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Digital plans revenue was approximately $1.0 million and $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to approximately $1.3 million and $2.7 million in the corresponding prior year periods. Digital plans revenue is driven by the following two factors: the average number of digital plans subscribers and the average weekly fee paid by digital plan subscribers. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the average paying subscribers was approximately 16% lower than the corresponding prior year period, and the average weekly fees were approximately 4% lower than the corresponding prior year period. Fewer digital plan subscribers were added for the first six months of 2010 compared to the first six months of 2009. Due to cash constraints and uncertain returns from online advertising, we targeted more of our advertising investments in general to meal delivery. Increased competition, the growth of similar services that are offered for free, economic conditions, and our reduction in advertising expenditures have all contributed to the decline in subscribers during the last several reporting periods and our current number of subscribers is insufficient to sustain our liquidity. As a result of these factors and to prevent further decreases in liquidity, we have diversified from a subscription-based model to a more integrated business model that includes the sale of food and other weight-loss products to better capture cross-selling opportunities and leverage our existing customer relationships.

Meal delivery had revenues of approximately $3.5 million and $6.5 million, including shipping revenue, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to $2.3 million and $4.2 million for the corresponding prior year periods. The 55% increase in meal delivery revenue for the first six months of 2010 as compared to the first six months of 2009 is directly related to an approximately 64% increase in meals shipped during the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period of the prior year. During 2010, we increased our offline advertising expense by approximately 284% over the three months ended June 30, 2009 and increased our offline advertising expense by approximately 237% over the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Business-to-business revenues, which are primarily application development and license related revenues, were approximately $0.7 million and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to $0.9 million and $2.5 million in the corresponding prior year periods. During 2009, an eDiets Corporate Services contract was terminated and resulted in the acceleration of approximately $0.6 million in previously deferred revenue which was recognized during the first quarter of 2009. Additionally, other development revenue decreased during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 as a result of contracts not being renewed upon expiration in either late 2009 or the first half of 2010. Service revenue also declined during both the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period of the prior year.

Advertising revenue from our website and our newsletter and Ecommerce revenue was approximately $60,000 and $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. The decrease was due to fewer site visitors who observe third-party banner impressions and lower ad rates in the first half of 2010 as compared to the corresponding prior year period. The number of visitors to our websites has declined over the last few reporting periods because our advertising is now driving potential customers to our call center rather than our website.

Royalty revenues related to our licensing agreement with Tesco were $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to $0.1 million and $0.2 million in the corresponding prior year periods.

In the future we expect that revenue streams from meal delivery will continue to be a larger share of total revenue as we diversify from a digital subscription-based and licensing-based model to a more integrated business model that better captures cross-selling opportunities and leverages our existing customer relationships.

Cost of Revenue: Total cost of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was $2.6 million and $4.8 million, respectively, as compared to $2.0 million and $3.9 million for the corresponding prior year periods.

Cost of revenue by type is as follows (in thousands):

Gross margin as a percent of revenue decreased to approximately 53% and 54%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to approximately 57% and 61%, respectively, for the corresponding prior year periods. Gross margin for digital plans increased to approximately 86% and 85% respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to approximately 85% and 83%, respectively, for the corresponding prior year periods. This increase is primarily the result of the continued stabilization of our technology platform and terminating certain revenue share arrangements. Meal delivery gross margin increased to approximately 33% and 32%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to approximately 25% and 23%, respectively, for the corresponding prior year periods. This is the result of continued cost reductions from stabilizing our technology platform, a reduction in product costs and food production efficiencies realized with our primary food vendors, and a reduction in our shipping costs. We anticipate our total gross margin will continue to improve in the future as our efforts to improve the meal delivery margin through reduced food costs and increased shipping efficiencies continue to be realized. Business-to-business gross margin increased slightly during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in the blended margin overall for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the same period of the prior year is the result of the decrease in the high-margin digital plans revenue and business-to-business revenue during 2010 as compared to 2009.

Table of Contents

Cost of digital plans revenue consists primarily of variable costs such as credit card fees and revenue sharing or royalty costs related to the exclusive license agreements with third party nutrition and fitness companies. Other costs include Internet access fees, compensation for nutritional and consulting professionals and depreciation. Cost of digital plans revenue decreased to $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to $0.2 million and $0.5 million in the corresponding prior year periods primarily because variable costs declined in conjunction with the decline in digital plan subscribers mentioned above.

Cost of meal delivery revenue consists primarily of credit card fees, product costs, fulfillment and shipping costs, as well as costs associated with revenue share arrangements, depreciation and promotional costs. Cost of meal delivery revenue increased to $2.3 million and $4.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to $1.7 million and $3.2 million in the corresponding prior year periods. Cost of meal delivery revenue increased as a result of the increased revenue levels mentioned above.

Cost of business-to-business revenue consists primarily of Internet access fees to support the various Corporate Services customers. Cost of business-to-business revenue was less than $0.1 for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and approximately $0.1 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

Cost of other revenue consists primarily of Internet serving fees, product and fulfillment cost for ecommerce sales and credit card fees. Cost of other revenue was less than $0.1 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Cost of other revenue was approximately $0.1 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Technology and Development: Technology and development expenses consist of payroll and related expenses we incur related to testing, maintaining and modifying our Web sites, telecommunication systems and infrastructure and other internal-use software systems. Technology and development expenses also include depreciation of the computer hardware and capitalized software we use to run our Web site and store our data. These expenses were approximately $0.9 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and approximately $1.7 million and $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Technology and development compensation expenses were lower during 2010, offset by a slight increase in technology consulting fees.

Sales, Marketing and Support: Sales, marketing and support expenses consist primarily of Internet advertising expenses and compensation for employees in those departments related to promoting two of our product lines: digital plans and meal delivery. Sales, marketing and support expenses were $3.3 million and $6.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to $2.1 million and $4.3 million for the corresponding prior year periods and represent mainly advertising media expense and compensation expense. The increase is primarily the result of an increase in offline advertising expense. In total, advertising media expense was $2.1 million and $4.0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and $0.8 million and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. During the first quarter of 2010, we implemented a new offline advertising campaign.

General and Administrative: General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, overhead and related costs for general corporate functions, including professional fees. General and administrative expenses were $1.3 million and $2.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to $1.1 million and $2.7 million in the corresponding prior year periods. The second quarter increase is mainly due to an increase in recruiting expenses, legal fees and consulting fees. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we incurred severance payments which totaled approximately $0.1 million and there were no severance payments made during the six months ended June 30, 2010. In addition, there was a decrease in insurance expense and stock compensation expense during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Amortization of Intangible Assets: Amortization expense relates to the intangible assets acquired in the 2006 Nutrio acquisition. Amortization expense decreased to less than $0.1 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the corresponding prior year periods. The reduction in amortization expense during 2010 is the result of certain Nutrio intangibles being completely amortized.

Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets: During the second quarter of 2010, we performed additional impairment assessments of the U.S. business-to-business reporting unit due to anticipating certain customer contracts that will not be renewed as well as certain new contract opportunities that have recently been delayed or cancelled due to customer concerns regarding economic uncertainty. As a result, we determined that goodwill and intangible assets, specifically the tradename, were fully impaired. This resulted in a non-cash impairment of goodwill and intangible assets of approximately $6.9 million, which is included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations under “Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets” for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Interest Income: Interest income was less than $0.1 million for the each of the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 and less than $0.1 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Interest Expense: Interest expense was $1.2 million and $2.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to $1.2 million and $2.4 million for the corresponding prior year periods. Interest expense relates to interest costs and the amortization of discounts and issuance costs recorded in connection with the senior secured notes issued in August 2007, May 2008 and November 2008, which were converted into 22,088,981 shares of our common stock on June 4, 2010.

Interest Expense Incurred With Debt Conversion: In connection with converting our senior secured notes into 22,088,981 shares of our common stock on June 4, 2010, we also adjusted for the remaining balance of the beneficial conversion feature discounts, warrant discounts, and issuance cost discounts which totaled approximately $24.0 million.

Income Tax Provision: Income tax provision was $0 for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and less than $0.1 million for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.

Net Loss: As a result of the factors discussed above, we recorded a net loss of approximately $34.6 million and $38.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and a net loss of $2.6 million and $5.5 million for the corresponding prior year periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s principal use of cash in its operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was for online and offline advertising promoting meal delivery and digital diet programs to potential subscribers and to support our business infrastructure as we diversify from subscription-based to a more integrated model that better captures cross-selling opportunities and leverages our existing customer relationships. Advertising expense in the first half of the year usually exceeds advertising in the second half of the year due to seasonality in the weight loss business. As a result, we have historically experienced proportionally lower or negative cash flows from operating activities in the first six months of each year. The amount of advertising and its effectiveness is a significant driver of our operations. Our advertising commitments are typically short term in nature with most of it purchased on the spot market. Generally, this trend is expected to continue going forward, but 2010 may be an exception if we elect to aggressively pursue customer acquisition in the second half of the year through increased advertising.

On April 5, 2010, we entered into subscription agreements with investors (the “Investor Subscription Agreements”) relating to the issuance and sale (the “Registered Offering”) of 5,275,000 shares (the “Shares”) of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a price of $1.00 per share. The net proceeds from the Registered Offering, after deducting the placement agent’s fees and expenses, were approximately $4.9 million. The Registered Offering closed on April 9, 2010. We made the Registered Offering pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-165445) declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2010.

On April 5, 2010, we entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement (the “Prides Debt Conversion Agreement”) with Prides Capital Partners, LLC (“Prides”) to convert the aggregate principal amount of the three outstanding notes issued in favor of Prides on August 31, 2007, May 30, 2008 and November 13, 2008 (the “Prides Notes”) plus all accrued and unpaid interest through the date of conversion, into shares of Common Stock at a per share price equal to the price at which the Shares were sold in the Registered Offering (the “Prides Debt Conversion”). Pursuant to the Prides Debt Conversion Agreement, Prides has agreed to release all security interests, liens and other encumbrances on the assets of the Company held by Prides pursuant to its existing Security Agreements. Further, pursuant to the Prides Debt Conversion Agreement, Prides has agreed to release the guarantors under any and all obligations arising under or in connection with the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreements in favor of Prides dated August 31, 2007 and May 30, 2008. The Prides Debt Conversion closed on June 4, 2010, when we issued to Prides 22,088,981 shares of Common Stock in full satisfaction of the aggregate principal amount of the Prides Notes, plus all accrued and unpaid interest.

Also on April 5, 2010, we entered into a Debt Conversion Agreement (the “Richardson Debt Conversion Agreement”) with Kevin A. Richardson, II, one of the Company’s directors and an officer of Prides, to convert the principal amount of an outstanding note issued in favor of Mr. Richardson (the “Richardson Note”), plus all accrued and unpaid interest through the date of conversion, into Common Stock at a price equal to the price at which the Shares were sold in the Registered Offering (the “Richardson Debt Conversion”). In addition, on April 5, 2010, we entered into Securities Subscription and Purchase Agreements with Mr. Richardson, Kevin N. McGrath, one of the Company’s directors and its President and Chief Executive Officer, and Lee S. Isgur, one of the Company’s directors, pursuant to which they agreed to purchase $500,000 of Common Stock at a price equal to the price at which the Shares were sold in the Registered Offering (the “Private Placement”). The Richardson Debt Conversion and the Private Placement both closed on June 4, 2010. We issued 506,027 shares of Common Stock in full satisfaction of the aggregate principal amount of the Richardson Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, and we received $500,000 and issued 500,000 shares of Common Stock in the Private Placement.

Pursuant to the Prides Debt Conversion Agreement, Prides waived (i) the prohibition on related party transactions outside the ordinary course of business under its August 2007 Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement and the May 2008 Note and Purchase Warrant with the Company as to the Registered Offering, the Private Placement and the Richardson Debt Conversion, (ii) the prepayment premium pursuant to certain of the Prides Notes in respect of the Prides Debt Conversion, and (iii) the mandatory prepayment provisions pursuant to certain of the Prides Notes in respect of the Registered Offering, the Private Placement, and the Richardson Debt Conversion.

At June 30, 2010, we had net working capital of approximately $0.6 million, compared to a net working capital deficit of approximately $13.6 million at December 31, 2009. Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2010 were approximately $3.0 million, an increase of approximately $1.5 million from the balance of $1.5 million at December 31, 2009.

In light of our results of operations, we have and intend to continue to evaluate various possibilities, including raising additional capital (through the issuance of common or preferred stock, securities convertible into common stock, or secured or unsecured debt), selling one or more of our lines of business or all or a portion of our assets, entering into a business combination, reducing or eliminating operations, liquidating assets, or seeking relief through a filing under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. These possibilities, to the extent available, may be on terms that result in significant dilution to our existing stockholders.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern. Our accumulated deficit amounts to approximately $98.5 million as of June 30, 2010.

We have never declared a dividend or paid a cash dividend. We currently intend to retain any earnings for use in the business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities: For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we used approximately $3.9 million of cash in operating activities. The negative cash flow related to our net loss of approximately $38.4 million, adjusted for, among other things, certain non-cash items including approximately $0.7 million of depreciation, $1.3 million of amortization of the senior secured notes – related party discount and expenses, $2.1 million of accrued and paid-in-kind interest of the senior secured notes – related party, $24.0 million of interest expenses incurred with the debt conversion of the senior secured notes – related party, $6.9 million of impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, and $0.5 million of stock-based compensation, as well as an aggregate decrease in cash flows from our operating assets and liabilities of $0.9 million.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities: For the six months ended June 30, 2010 our financing activities provided for approximately $5.5 million of cash. We received approximately $4.5 million in total net proceeds from issuance of common stock under a registered direct offering.

We also received $500,000 from the issuance of common stock in connection with the Richardson Note. The Richardson Note was converted into 506,027 shares of our common stock on June 4, 2010.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009 we used $0.1 million in financing activities. The cash used related to the repayment of capital lease obligations and common stock issuance costs related to the private investment transaction that closed on July 15, 2009.
