The accompanying notes are an integral part of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements

HEALTH ENHANCEMENT PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Health Enhancement Products, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”).  All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, the financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the information set forth therein.  These consolidated financial statements are condensed, and therefore do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2007 consolidated audited financial statements and supplementary data included in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed with the SEC on April 12, 2008.


The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, or any other period.


In February, 2007, we established HEPI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“HEPI Pharma”) as a wholly owned subsidiary of Health Enhancement Products, Inc.  The purpose of the pharmaceutical subsidiary will be to develop potential pharmaceutical applications for the Company’s primary product, ProAlgaZyme®(PAZ). In connection with the formation of HEPI Pharma,  we entered into a Pharmaceutical Development Agreement with our new subsidiary. Under the Development Agreement, we granted the subsidiary the right to develop the potential pharmaceutical applications of PAZ and its derivatives. In exchange for these rights, we became the sole stockholder of the subsidiary and are entitled to certain payments based on the attainment of specified development milestones and sales revenues.


The Company incurred net losses of $1,433,352 and $1,762,942 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  In addition, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $508,408 and a stockholders’ deficit of $416,255 at September 30, 2008.  These factors continue to raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  The Company is endeavoring to increase the likelihood that it will be able to continue as a going concern by seeking to increase its sales revenue, and by raising additional capital.  During the first nine months of 2008, the Company raised approximately $987,000 in net proceeds from the private sale of its common stock and exercise of warrants, and the issuance of convertible debentures.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to increase its sales or raise additional capital.


There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be generated during the next year or thereafter from operations or that funds will be available from external sources such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources.  The lack of additional capital could force the Company to curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business.  Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company's existing stockholders.


The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

These warrants were valued at $19,304 using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions: expected volatility 106.55%; expected dividend 0; expected term 3 years; and risk free rate of 3.1%.  


The Notes accrue interest at the rate of 1% per annum, are non-amortizing, have a term of 3 years (subject to the Company’s right to extend the term for an additional three years); cannot be prepaid, and are convertible, at any time prior to the maturity date, as the same may be extended, at the discretion of the holder, into shares of common stock, at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) $.50 per share and (ii) the Market Price (as defined in the Notes) (but not less than $.25 per share).  Accrued interest will be paid on the maturity date, as the same may be extended, in shares of common stock, valued at the Market Price, but not less than $.25 per share, and, unless the Note is converted prior to its maturity date, as the same may be extended,  at the Company’s option, the principal amount of the Note may, on the maturity date, as extended, be repaid in cash or converted into common stock at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) $.50 per share and (ii) the Market Price (but not less than $.25 per share).


The Company recorded a deferred debt discount in the amount of $607,003, to reflect the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible debt and fair value of the warrants pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 00-27: Application of EITF 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features on Contingently Adjustable Conversion Rates”, to certain convertible instruments. In accordance with EITF 00-27, the Company evaluated the value of the beneficial conversion feature and recorded the amount of $306,771 as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible debt and as an addition to paid-in capital. Additionally, the relative fair value of the warrants ($300,232) was calculated and recorded as a further reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible debt and as addition to paid-in capital.  The Company is amortizing the debt discount over the term of the debt.  Amortization of debt discount was $61,416 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company issued 2,411,240 shares of common stock upon conversion of $625,000 principal and $2,863 accrued interest.  Accordingly, the Company recorded additional amortization of debt discount in the amount of $379,649 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, related to the converted debt.


In the first quarter of 2008, the Company sold, for aggregate consideration of $110,000, 1% convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $110,000 and warrants to purchase 2,200,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $.10 per share for a term of three years .   In the second quarter of 2008, the Company sold additional 1% convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $41,000 and warrants to purchase 820,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $.10 per share for a term of three years. During the third quarter the Company sold additional 1% convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $45,000 and warrants to purchase 900,000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $.10 per share for a term of three years.  These convertible notes accrue interest at the rate of 1% per annum, are non-amortizing, have a term of 3 years (subject to the Company’s right to extend the term for an additional three years), cannot be prepaid, and are convertible, at any time prior to the maturity date, as the same may be extended, at the discretion of the holder, into shares of common stock, at a rate of $.10 per share.  Accrued interest will be paid on the maturity date, as the same may be extended, in shares of Common Stock, valued at $.10 per share, and, unless the Convertible Note is converted prior to its maturity date, as the same may be extended, at the Company’s option, the principal amount of the Note may, on the maturity date, as extended, be repaid in cash or converted into common stock at a rate equal to $.10 per share.


The Company recorded a deferred debt discount in the amount of $196,000, to reflect the beneficial conversion feature of the convertible debt and fair value of the warrants pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 00-27: Application of EITF 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features on Contingently Adjustable Conversion Rates”, to certain convertible instruments. In accordance with EITF 00-27, the Company evaluated the value of the beneficial conversion feature and recorded the amount of $45,356 as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible debt and as an addition to paid-in capital. Additionally, the relative fair value of the warrants ($150,644) was calculated and recorded as a further reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible debt and as addition to paid-in capital.  The Company is amortizing the debt discount over the term of the debt. Amortization of debt discount for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $20,445.

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


Lease Commitment -- We are leasing approximately 15,000 square feet of office and production space located in Scottsdale, Arizona from a majority shareholder.  Of the 15,000 square feet currently leased, we are occupying approximately 9,800 square feet.  We incurred approximately $178,000 in base rent expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.


The Amended and Restated Sublease expires on February 9, 2020, provided that we have the unilateral right to terminate the Lease on March 31, 2013.  The annual base rent for the 15,000 square foot facility is approximately $237,000 and is payable in equal monthly installments of approximately $20,000.  The annual base rent is subject to increase annually in an amount equal to the greater of 2.5% of the prior year’s base rent and the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index.  We paid an additional security deposit of approximately $110,000.  The Amended and Restated Sublease is a “net lease”, which means that we are responsible for the real estate taxes, maintenance and repairs related to the premises we are leasing.  We are currently in the process of reviewing and amending the lease since there have been changes in the occupancy of the building. We have recorded sublet rent income of $23,600 for the six months ended September 30, 2008, and a related rent receivable for the remaining space in the building which is now occupied by a significant shareholder and former CEO of the Company.


The Company has entered into a two year lease commencing September 1, 2006, for a warehousing and bottling facility.  The lease calls for minimum annual rents of approximately $25,000 and $26,000 for each of the twelve month periods ending August 31, 2007 and August 31, 2008, respectively.  Upon expiration of the lease, we entered into a month-to-month rental agreement for this location.  Rent expense under this lease for the nine months ended September 30, was approximately $20,500.


The future minimum lease payments related to the Amended and Restated Sublease and the warehouse lease, are as follows:

NOTE 10 – LOSS PER SHARE


Loss per common share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted loss per common share is the same as basic loss per share, as the effect of potentially dilutive securities (convertible debt – 1,960,000 and warrants – 28,437,373 at September 30, 2008 and warrants – 12,495,109 at September 30, 2007) are anti-dilutive.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Critical Accounting Policies 

 

The accompanying discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and all available information. However, future events are subject to change, and the best estimates and judgments routinely require adjustment. US GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments in several areas, including those related to recording various accruals, income taxes, the useful lives of long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and intangible assets, and potential losses from contingencies and litigation. We believe the policies discussed below are the most critical to our financial statements because they are affected significantly by management's judgments, assumptions and estimates. 

 

Income taxes 

 

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method described in SFAS No. 109, "Accounting For Income Taxes," the objective of which is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. 


We have provided a 100% valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, because the ultimate realization of those assets are uncertain.  Utilization of net operating loss carry-forwards are subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the “change in ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.  The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating loss carry-forwards before utilization.


Stock Based Compensation


The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), which revised SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25).  SFAS 123R requires that new, modified and unvested share-based payment transactions with employees, such as stock options and restricted stock, be recognized in the financial statements based on their estimated fair value and recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period.  The Company adopted SFAS 123R effective January 1, 2006.

 

Results of Operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.


Net Sales.  Net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 were $35,128 and $130,281 as compared to $27,939 and $134,675 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.  These sales reflect principally revenues from the ProAlgaZyme® product.  We currently market our product over the Internet and by telephone. We have recently had limited success with retail grocery store outlets and expect to expand our presence in the retail market in 2008.


Throughout 2007 and 2008, we have been adversely impacted by a shortage of funds which has severely impeded our ability to market and test our ProAlgaZyme® product, contributing to a low level of net sales.  Although the ProAlgaZyme® product is available for sale and we are exploring various potential marketing opportunities, we are currently advertising on a limited basis and expect only limited sales revenue until at least the fourth quarter of 2008.  We believe that our ability to generate sales of the ProAlgaZyme® product will depend upon, among other things, further characterization of the product, identification of its method of action and further evidence of its efficacy, as well as advertising.  The testing necessary to further characterize the product, identify its method of action and establish its effectiveness is ongoing.


Cost of Sales.  Cost of Sales was $11,660 and $89,251 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to $11,204 and $96,006 for the comparable period in 2007.  Cost of Sales represents primarily costs related to raw materials, labor and the laboratory and controlled production environment necessary for the growing of the algae cultures that constitute the source of the biological activity of the ProAlgaZyme product, and for conducting the necessary harvesting and production operations in preparing the product for sale.  Overall, cost of sales for 2008 is comparable to 2007 due to comparable sales volume.


Gross Profit.  Gross Profit was $23,468 and $41,030 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to $16,735 and $38,669 for the comparable period in 2007.  The gross profit for 2008 is comparable to gross profit for 2007 due to comparable sales volume and cost of sales.  



14



Research and Development Expenses.   For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, we incurred $54,329 and $106,826 on research and development expenses, as compared to $74,533 and $271,798 for the comparable period in 2007.  These expenses are comprised of costs associated with internal and external research.  The decrease in our research and development is due to a decrease in available cash for research.


We have in the past had difficulty raising substantial funds from external sources; however, we recently raised a limited amount of capital.  We may not be able to raise the funding that we need to undertake further research and development activities.  In the event that we are not able to secure sufficient funding to meet our research needs, we will be unable to pursue additional research activities.


Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses were $53,712 and $181,896 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to $29,772 and $100,018 for the comparable period in 2007.  The increase in 2008 was due to costs associated with outside marketing consultants to increase our national exposure and the rebranding of our product.  We intend to continue to direct our in house selling efforts to existing ProAlgaZyme® users during 2008.  The consultants will provide us with exposure to natural food brokers and in the media through the use of radio and television segments.

We are currently pursuing outside distributors for our product, to begin a nationwide campaign to raise awareness of our product.  However, we intend to continue to direct selling efforts to existing ProAlgaZyme® users, by soliciting reorders from existing customers by telephone or mail in our inbound/outbound call center.  In addition, we are continuing our efforts in the retail market arena, and exploring the establishment of additional distribution channels for ProAlgaZyme®.  The limit on our ability thus far to advertise our product (due to the need for additional testing) has had and, until we are able to advertise our product based upon the results of clinical trials further demonstrating its efficacy, will continue to have, a material adverse effect on sales revenue and operating results.  We intend to continue to pursue clinical study of our product and, subject to the results of such testing, increase advertising in 2008, subject to availability of sufficient funding, which we do not currently have.


General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expense was $167,760 and $740,733 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to $604,544 and $1,464,931 for the comparable period in 2007.  The overall decrease in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 is approximately $724,000.  This decrease is due primarily to a decrease in administrative salaries of $89,000, a decrease in stock and cash issued to consultants of $414,000, a decrease in our legal and accounting fees of $150,000, and a decrease in administrative operating expenses of $100,000 offset by an increase of $25,000 for patent filing fees.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report have been prepared on a “going concern” basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  We have an immediate and urgent need for additional capital.  For the reasons discussed herein, there is a significant risk that we will be unable to continue as a going concern, in which case, you would suffer a total loss of your investment in our company.


We have had limited revenue ($130,281 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008) and have incurred significant net losses since inception, including a net loss of $1,433,352 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  We expect only limited sales revenue until at least the fourth quarter of 2008.  Further, we have incurred recurring negative cash flow from operations.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we incurred negative cash flows from operations of $869,315.  As of November 10, 2008, we had a cash balance of approximately $1,500.  We had a working capital deficiency of $508,408 and a stockholders’ deficit of $416,255 as of September 30, 2008.  Although we recently raised a limited amount of capital, we have in the past had difficulty in raising capital from external sources.  These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  


During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, our operating activities used $869,315 and $1,195,533 in cash, respectively, and our financing activities generated $978,655 and $1,351,886.


We estimate that we will require approximately $1,250,000 in cash over the next 12 months in order to fund our operations.  If we were to initiate the additional clinical research for our subsidiary, we would require an additional $3,000,000.  Based on this cash requirement, we have an immediate need for additional funding.  For the foreseeable future, we do not expect that sales revenues will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements.  Historically, we have had difficulty raising funds from external sources; however, we recently were able to raise a limited amount of capital from outside sources. If we are not able to raise additional funds in the immediate future we may be unable to continue as a going concern, in which case you will suffer a total loss of your investment in our company.


In addition, we have only limited product liability insurance.  If a product claim were successfully made against us, there could be a material adverse effect on our financial condition given our liquidity and cash limitations.


Significant elements of income or loss not arising from our continuing operations


We do not expect to experience any significant elements of income or loss other than those arising from our continuing operation.



15



Seasonality


Our product is directed to the improvement of the health of our consumers, and we do not expect that operating results will be affected materially by seasonal factors.  In addition, ProAlgaZyme® is cultivated in a climate-controlled laboratory environment, not subject to seasonal growing effects or influences.


Staffing


We have conducted all of our activities since inception with a minimum level of qualified staff.  We currently do not expect a significant increase in staff.  


Off-Balance Sheet arrangements


We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that would create contingent or other forms of liability.


Item 4. Controls and Procedures


(a)

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  The Company’s management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and the principal accounting officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure, controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the “Evaluation Date”).  Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer and the principal accounting officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure, controls and procedures were effective, to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.


(b)

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.  There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.


PART II – OTHER INFORMATION


Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds


During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the Company sold 615,348 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 1,030,696 shares at $.10 per share for a term of three years, in a private placement, and received $61,535 in proceeds, which was used for operations. The Company sold for aggregate consideration of $45,000 1% convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $45,000 (“Notes”) and warrants to purchase 900,0000 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $.10 per share for a term of three years (“Warrants).   The Notes accrue interest at the rate of 1% per annum, are non-amortizing, have a term of 3 years (subject to the Company’s right to extend the term for an additional three years), cannot be prepaid, and are convertible, at any time prior to the maturity date, as the same may be extended, at the discretion of the holder, into shares of common stock, at a rate of $.10 per share.  Accrued interest will be paid on the maturity date, as the same may be extended, in shares of common stock, valued at $.10 per share, and, unless the Note is converted prior to its maturity date, as the same may be extended, at the Company’s option, the principal amount of the Note may, on the maturity date, as extended, be repaid in cash or converted into common stock at a rate of $.10 per share.  


The Company believes that the foregoing transactions were exempt from the registration requirements under Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“the Act”), based on the following facts: there was no general solicitation, there was a limited number of purchasers, all of whom were “accredited investors” (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Act and all of whom were sophisticated about business and financial matters, and all shares issued were subject to restriction on transfer, so as to take reasonable steps to assure that the purchaser was not an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Act.
