PART I
Our History
We were initially formed in June 1979 as Alpha Solarco Inc., a Colorado corporation. From June 1979 through February 2003, we were either inactive or involved in discontinued business ventures. We changed our name to Fiber Application Systems Technology, Ltd in February 2003. In January 2004, we changed our state of incorporation by merging into Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. (IVFH), a Florida corporation formed for that purpose. As a result of the merger, we changed our name to that of Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. In January 2004, we also acquired Food Innovations, Inc., a Delaware corporation, for 25,000,000 shares of our common stock.
Our Operations
Our business is currently conducted by our subsidiaries, Food Innovations, Inc. (“FII” or “Food Innovations”), which was incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 9, 2002, 4 The Gourmet, Inc. (d/b/a For The Gourmet, Inc.) and Gourmet Foodservice Group, Inc. Since its incorporation, Food Innovations, primarily through a relationship with US Foodservices, Inc. (“USF”), has been in the business of providing premium restaurants with the freshest origin-specific perishables and specialty products shipped directly from our network of vendors within 24 – 72 hours. Our customers include restaurants, hotels, country clubs, national chain accounts, casinos, and catering houses. Since its incorporation, For The Gourmet has been in the business of providing consumers with gourmet food products shipped directly from our network of vendors within 24 – 72 hours. Since its incorporation, Gourmet Foodservice Group holds all the companies' intellectual property including the Artistre® line of products. In our business model, we receive orders from our customers and then work closely with our suppliers to have the orders fulfilled. In order to maintain freshness and quality, we carefully select our suppliers based upon, among other factors, their quality, uniqueness, reliability and access to overnight courier services.
Our Products
We distribute over 5,000 perishable and specialty food products, including origin-specific seafood, domestic and imported meats, exotic game and poultry, artisanal cheeses, caviar, wild and cultivated mushrooms, micro-greens, heirloom and baby produce, organic farmed and manufactured food products, estate-bottled olive oils and aged vinegars. We are constantly adding other products that food distributors cannot effectively warehouse, including organic products and specialty grocery items. We offer our customers access to the best food products available nationwide, quickly, most direct, and cost-effectively. Some of our best-selling items include:
| |
●
|
Seafood - Alaskan wild king salmon, Hawaiian sashimi-grade ahi tuna, Gulf of Mexico day-boat snapper, Chesapeake Bay soft shell crabs, New England live lobsters, Japanese hamachi

Customer Service and Logistics
Our “live” chef-driven customer service department is available by telephone Monday through Thursday, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Florida time. The team is made up of four chefs who are full-time employees of the Company, and who are experienced in all aspects of perishable and specialty products. By employing chefs to handle customer service, we are able to provide our customers with extensive information about our products, including:
|
●
|
Flavor profile and eating qualities
|
|
●
|
Origin, seasonality, and availability
|
|
●
|
Cross utilization ideas and complementary uses of products
|
Our logistics team tracks every package to ensure timely delivery of products to our customers. The logistics manager receives tracking information on all products ordered, and packages are monitored from origin to delivery. In the event that delivery service is interrupted, our logistics department begins the process of expediting the package to its destination. The customer is then contacted before the expected delivery commitment time allowing the customer ample time to make arrangements for product replacement or menu changes. Our logistics manager works directly with our vendors to ensure our strict packaging requirements are in place at all times.
Relationship with U.S. Foods
In February 2010, our subsidiary, Food Innovations, signed a new contract with USF. Under the current terms of the contract, FII supplies overnight delivered, perishable, sea foods, fresh produce, and other exotic fresh foods. Such products are difficult for broadline food distributors to manage profitably and keep in warehouse stock due to their perishable nature and high-end limited customer base. Through USF’s sales associates, FII’s products are available to USF accounts nationwide, ensuring superior freshness and extended shelf life to their customers. This current contract with USF expires on December 31, 2012. The contract is automatically renews for an additional 12-month term unless either party notifies the other in writing 30 days prior to the End Date of its intent not to renew. During the years ended December 31, 2011, and 2010, sales through USF’s sales associates accounted for 93% and 92% of total sales, respectively. We believe that although a significant portion of our sales occurs through the USF sales force, the success of the program is less contingent on a contract then on the actual performance and quality of our products. Other than our business arrangements with USF, we are not affiliated with either USF or its subsidiary, Next Day Gourmet, L.P. (“Next Day Gourmet”).
Growth Strategy
While the U.S. economic recovery remains fragile, there appears to be much for the restaurant industry to celebrate. According to market research firm Packaged Facts, restaurant sales are expected to grow 4.2 percent to $487 million in 2012, on the heels of 6.1 percent market growth in 2011.
For our continued growth within the foodservice industry, we rely heavily on the availability to our customers of our chefs' culinary skills, a high level of personal customer service, premium quality products, new product introductions and sales available through our relationship with USF.
We anticipate attempting to grow our current business both through increased sales of existing products to our existing foodservice customers, the introduction of new products to our foodservice customers, increasing our foodservice customer base, and through further entry into markets such as the direct to consumer market through a variety of potential sales channels, and sales partnerships and directly via the web.
In addition to attempting to grow our current business, we believe that there are lateral opportunities in the food industry. We may look into the possibility of acquiring a gourmet food manufacturer or gourmet distributor at some future point in time. We anticipate that, given our current cash flow situation, any acquisition could involve the issuance of additional shares of our common stock or third party financing, which may not be available on acceptable terms. No acquisition will be consummated without thorough due diligence. No assurance can be given that we will be able to identify and successfully conclude negotiations with any potential target.
General economic conditions and consumer confidence can affect the frequency of purchases and amounts spent by consumers for food-prepared-away-from-home and, in turn, can impact our customers and our sales. We believe the current general economic conditions, including pressure on consumer disposable income, may continue to contribute to a slow or declining growth in the foodservice market. We intend to continue our efforts to expand our market share and grow earnings by focusing on sales growth, margin management, productivity gains and supply chain management, and product and service differentiation.
Competition
While we face intense competition in the marketing of our products and services, it is our belief that there is no other single company in the United States that offers such a broad range of customer service oriented, quality, chef driven, perishables, for delivery in 24 to 72 hours. Our primary competition is from local purveyors that supply a limited local market and have a limited range of products and from other specialty gourmet distributors. However, many purveyors are well established, have reputations for success in the development and marketing of these types of products and services and have significantly greater financial, marketing, distribution, personnel and other resources. These financial and other capabilities permit such companies to implement extensive advertising and promotional campaigns, both generally and in response to efforts by additional competitors such as us, to enter into new markets and introduce new products and services.
Insurance
We maintain a general liability insurance policy with a per occurrence limit of $1,000,000 and aggregate policy covering $2,000,000 of liability. In addition, we have non-owned automobile personal injury coverage with a limit of $1,000,000. Such insurance may not be sufficient to cover all potential claims against us and additional insurance may not be available in the future at reasonable costs.
Government Regulation
Various federal and state laws currently exist, and more are sure to be adopted, regulating the delivery of fresh food products. However, our business plan does not require us to deliver fresh food products directly, as third-party vendors ship the products directly to our customers. We require all third-party vendors to certify that they maintain at least $2,000,000 liability insurance coverage and compliance with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP), an FDA- and USDA-mandated food safety program, or a similar standard. Any changes in the government regulation of delivering of fresh food products that hinders our current ability and/or cost to deliver fresh products, could adversely impact our net revenues and gross margins and, therefore, our profitability and cash flows could also be adversely affected.
Employees
We currently employ 15 full-time employees, including 4 chefs and 2 executive officers. We believe that our relations with our employees are satisfactory. None of our employees are represented by a union.
Transactions with Major Customers
Transactions with major customers and related economic dependence information is set forth under the heading Relationship with USF, above.
How to Contact Us
Our executive offices are located at 3845 Beck Blvd., Naples, Florida 34109; our Internet address is www.foodinno.com; and our telephone number is (239) 596-0204. The contents of our website are not incorporated in or deemed to be a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Risk Factors
Prior to 2011, We Have a History of Losses Requiring Us To Seek Additional Sources of Capital
As of December 31, 2011, we had an accumulated deficit of $7,207,600. We cannot assure you that we can sustain profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. If revenues grow more slowly than we anticipate, or if operating expenses exceed our expectations or cannot be adjusted accordingly, we will incur losses. We will also incur losses if the fair value of warrants, options, etc. changes unfavorably. We will incur operating losses until we are able to establish significant sales. Our possible success is dependent upon the successful development and marketing of our services and products, as to which we can give no assurance. Any future success that we might enjoy will depend upon many factors, including factors out of our control or which cannot be predicted at this time. These factors may include changes in or increased levels of competition, including the entry of additional competitors and increased success by existing competitors, changes in general economic conditions, increases in operating costs, including costs of supplies, personnel, marketing and promotions, reduced margins caused by competitive pressures and other economic and non-economic factors. These conditions may have a materially adverse effect upon us or may force us to reduce or curtail operations. In addition, we will require additional funds to sustain and expand our sales and marketing activities, particularly if a well-financed competitor emerges. We can give no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Our inability to obtain sufficient funds from our operations or external sources could require us to curtail or cease operations.
If We Are Unable to Obtain Additional Funding Our Business Operations Will be Harmed and If We Do Obtain Additional Financing Our Then Existing Shareholders May Suffer Substantial Dilution.
Additional capital may be required to effectively support our operations and to otherwise implement our overall business strategy. However, we can give no assurance that financing will be available when needed on terms that are acceptable to us. Our inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail our marketing and development plans and possibly cease our operations. Any additional equity financing (or equity related financing such as convertible debt financing) may involve substantial dilution to our then existing shareholders.
Our Independent Auditors Have Expressed Substantial Doubt About Our Ability to Continue As a Going Concern, and We Concur With This Assessment
In their report dated March 26, 2012, our independent auditors stated that our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is an issue raised as a result of our significant losses from operations since inception and our working capital deficiency. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to continue to generate a profit and/or obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities, increasing our sales of product or services or obtaining loans and grants from various financial institutions where possible.
We Have Historically Derived Substantially All of Our Revenue From One Client and if We Were to Lose Such Client and Be Unable to Generate New Sales to Offset Such Loss, We May Be Forced to Cease or Curtail Our Operations.
In 2003, Next Day Gourmet initially contracted with our subsidiary, Food Innovations, to handle the distribution of over 3,000 perishable and specialty food products to customers of USF. In February 2010, Food Innovations signed a new contract with USF that expires in December 2012. Our sales through USF’s sales force generated gross revenues for us of $10,754,467 in the year ended December 31, 2011, and $9,107,504 in the year ended December 31, 2010. Those amounts contributed 93% and 92%, respectively, of our total sales in those periods. Our sales efforts are for the most part substantially dependent upon the efforts of the USF sales force. Although we have generated revenues from additional customers other than USF, if our relationship with USF were to be materially changed and we are unable to generate substantial new sales to offset such loss, we may be forced to cease or curtail our operations.
We May Be Unable to Manage Our Growth Which Could Result in Our Being Unable to Maintain Our Operations.
Our strategy for growth is focused on continued enhancements and expansion to our existing business model, offering a broader range of services and products and affiliating with additional vendors and through possible joint ventures. Pursuing this strategy presents a variety of challenges. We may not experience an increase in our services to our existing customers, and we may not be able to achieve the economies of scale, or provide the business, administrative and financial services, required to sustain profitability from servicing our existing and future customer base. Should we be successful in our expansion efforts, the expansion of our business would place further demands on our management, operational capacity and financial resources. To a significant extent, our future success will be dependent upon our ability to maintain adequate financial controls and reporting systems to manage a larger operation and to obtain additional capital upon favorable terms. We can give no assurance that we will be able to successfully implement our planned expansion, finance its growth, or manage the resulting larger operations. In addition, we can give no assurance that our current systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support any expansion of our operations. Our failure to manage our growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Foodservice Industry is Very Competitive, Which May Result in Decreased Revenue for Us as Well as Increased Expenses Associated With Marketing Our Services and Products.
We compete against other providers of quality foods, some of which sell their services globally, and some of these providers have considerably greater resources and abilities than we have. These competitors may have greater marketing and sales capacity, established distribution networks, significant goodwill and global name recognition. Furthermore, it may become necessary for us to reduce our prices in response to competition. This could negatively impact our ability to be profitable.
Our Success Depends on Our Acceptance by the Chef Community and if the Chef Community Does Not Accept Our Products Then Our Revenue Will be Severely Limited.
The chef community may not embrace our products. Acceptance of our services will depend on several factors, including: cost, product freshness, convenience, timeliness, strategic partnerships and reliability. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We also cannot be sure that our business model will gain wide acceptance among chefs. If the market fails to continue to develop, or develops more slowly than we expect, our business, results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected.
We Rely Upon Outside Vendors and Shippers for Our Specialty Food Products and Interruption in the Supply of Our Products May Negatively Impact Our Revenues.
Shortages in supplies of the food products we sell may impair our ability to provide our services. Our vendors are independent and we cannot guarantee their future ability to source the products that we sell. Many of our products are wild-caught, and we cannot guarantee their availability in the future. Unforeseen strikes and labor disputes as well as adverse weather conditions may result in our inability to deliver our products in a timely manner. Since our customers rely on us to deliver their orders within 24-72 hours, delivery delays could significantly harm our business.
We Are and May Be Subject to Regulatory Compliance and Legal Uncertainties.
Changes in government regulation and supervision or proposed Department of Agriculture reforms could impair our sources of revenue and limit our ability to expand our business. In the event any future laws or regulations are enacted which apply to us, we may have to expend funds and/or alter our operations to insure compliance.
The Issuance of Shares Upon Conversion of Convertible Notes and Exercise of Outstanding Warrants May Cause Immediate and Substantial Dilution to Our Existing Stockholders.
The issuance of shares upon conversion of convertible notes and exercise of warrants may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders since the note/warrant holders may ultimately convert or exercise and sell the full amount of shares issuable on conversion/exercise. Although, for the most part, such note/warrant holders may not convert their convertible notes and/or exercise their warrants if such conversion or exercise would cause them to own more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock unless waived in writing by the investor with 61 day notice to the Company, this restriction does not prevent them from converting and/or exercising some of their holdings, selling off those shares, and then converting the rest of their holdings. In this way, they could sell more than this limit while never holding more than this limit. We anticipate that eventually, over time, the full amount of the convertible notes will be converted into shares of our common stock, in accordance with the terms of the secured convertible notes, which will cause significant dilution to our other shareholders.
If We Are Required for any Reason to Repay Our Outstanding Convertible Notes We Would Be Required to Deplete Our Working Capital, If Available, or Raise Additional Funds.
We can be required to repay certain of our convertible notes or other notes. If we are required to repay a significant amount of these notes, we would be required to use our limited working capital and/or raise additional funds (which may be unavailable) which would have the effect of causing further dilution and lowering shareholder value.
We Have a History of Being In Default Under Certain Convertible Notes Which Could Result in Legal Action Against Us, Which Could Require the Sale of Substantial Assets.
While we have not received a notice of default under any of our outstanding notes, we have a history of being in default under certain of our outstanding convertible notes, including but not limited to notes currently overdue, and possibly could receive a notice of default in the future. This could require the early repayment of the convertible notes, including a default interest rate of 15% on the outstanding principal balance of the notes if the default is acted upon by the note holders and not cured within the specified grace period. In addition all our secured notes carry cross-default provisions. If we were unable to repay the notes when required, the note holders could commence legal action against us and foreclose on all of our assets to recover the amounts due. Any such action could require us to curtail or cease operations.
Our Revenues Can be Affected by Price Increases Imposed by our Carriers.
We deliver our products to our customers through third party overnight or express delivery carriers. If the carriers we use raise their shipping rates or add charges such as fuel surcharges and other charges, we will either have to absorb the increased costs which will put pressure on our bottom line or pass on the cost to our customers which may result in reduced sales if our customers are unwilling to pay the higher prices. Either way, such an increase in shipping costs will likely have a negative impact on our results of operations.
Our Common Stock is Subject to the "Penny Stock" Rules of the SEC and the Trading Market in Our Securities is Limited, Which Makes Transactions in Our Stock Cumbersome and May Reduce the Value of an Investment in Our Stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share (post-reverse split) or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
| |
●
|
that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and
|
| |
●
|
the broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
|
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
| |
●
|
obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
|
| |
●
|
make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
|
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
| |
●
|
sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
|
| |
●
|
that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
|
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
On October 17, 2008, we entered into a three-year lease with Grand Cypress Communities, Inc. for new premises consisting of 4,000 square feet at 3845 Beck Blvd., Naples, Florida. The commencement date of the lease is January 1, 2009. On November 11, 2011, the Company extended the lease with Grand Cypress Communities, Inc. for 3 years, commencing on January 1, 2012. The annual rent and fees under the lease is approximately $54,000. The lease provides for a buyout option at the end of the lease with credit towards the purchase price received for the rental payments made during the term of the lease.
On October 1, 2011, the Company entered into a month-to-month lease with Grand Cypress Communities, Inc. for warehouse space consisting of 2,000 square feet at 3845 Back Blvd., Naples, Florida. The commencement date of this lease is October 1, 2011. The monthly rent and fees under this lease is $848.
ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings
In September 2006, we commenced an action in New York Supreme Court, Nassau County, against Pasta Italiana, Inc., Robert Yandolino and Lloyd Braider (collectively “Pasta”) to collect on outstanding promissory notes totaling $360,000 (plus interest and collection expenses) of which $65,000 was personally guaranteed by the two individual defendants. The defendants counterclaimed for an unspecified amount of damages due to our alleged breach of an agreement to purchase the corporate defendant.
On September 5, 2008, we reached a settlement agreement with Pasta. The settlement agreement (the “Pasta Settlement Agreement”) calls for Pasta to pay to the Company $165,000 of the principal amount of the note. Pasta is to make 36 monthly payments in the amount of $4,500 beginning in September, 2008 and a final payment of $3,000 The first of these 36 payments was received by the Company during the third quarter of 2008. Upon execution of the agreement, Pasta was also obligated to deliver to the Company 10% of its fully diluted common stock. This stock is valued at $0 in the Company’s financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2008. The Company was obligated to deliver to Pasta 1,500,000 shares of its common stock (valued at $9,000 at September 5, 2008) and warrants to purchase an additional 1,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.012 (valued at $5,977 at September 5, 2008). The Company recorded an impairment charge in the amount of $142,124 during the three months ended September 30, 2008, representing the difference between the net book value of the Pasta receivable prior to the Pasta Settlement Agreement and the amount of the new note receivable negotiated in the Pasta Settlement Agreement, plus the value of the Company’s common stock and warrants provided to Pasta.
Interest will accrue at a rate of 8% on the unpaid portion of the $138,050. The Company has not recorded interest income on this note in 2011. The accrued interest is to be paid semi-annually in shares of common stock of Pasta (the “Pasta Interest Shares”). The Pasta Interest Shares are valued at $0 in the financial statements of the Company, and no interest income is recorded by the Company for these shares during the three months ended September 30, 2008.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company reserved the remaining amount of the loan receivable to Pasta Italiana, Inc. in the amount of $136,550. The Company increased its reserve for this loan in order to maintain a conservative financial statement presentation. The Company intends to vigorously pursue collection activities and will re-evaluate our reserve in future periods; any receipt of funds from Pasta will result in a credit to operations in the period received.
Pasta made several payments required by the settlement agreement, totaling $26,950. Thereafter, Pasta defaulted on the next payment, and failed to cure its default within the required time period after a Notice of Default was sent to it. We are continuing discussions with Pasta in regards to resuming payments and continue examine all legal remedies available to us to insure compliance with the agreement. We intend to pursue the monies owed to us under the Pasta Settlement Agreement in a cost-effective manner.

ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto, as well as all other related notes, and financial and operational references, appearing elsewhere in this document.
Certain information contained in this discussion and elsewhere in this report may include "forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is subject to the safe harbor created by that act. The safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act will not apply to certain "forward looking statements” because we issued "penny stock" (as defined in Section 3(a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 3(a)(51-1) under the Exchange Act) during the three year period preceding the date(s) on which those forward looking statements were first made, except to the extent otherwise specifically provided by rule, regulation or order of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We caution readers that certain important factors may affect our actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements which may be deemed to have been made in this Report or which are otherwise made by or on behalf of us. For this purpose, any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may", "will", "expect", "believe", "explore", "consider", "anticipate", "intend", "could", "estimate", "plan", "propose" or "continue" or the negative variations of those words or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Factors that may affect our results include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties associated with:
|
●
|
Our ability to raise capital necessary to sustain our anticipated operations and implement our business plan,
|
| |
|
|
●
|
Our ability to implement our business plan,
|
|
●
|
Our ability to generate sufficient cash to pay our lenders and other creditors,
|
|
●
|
Our ability to employ and retain qualified management and employees,
|
|
●
|
Our dependence on the efforts and abilities of our current employees and executive officers,
|
|
●
|
Changes in government regulations that are applicable to our current or anticipated business,
|
|
●
|
Changes in the demand for our services,
|
|
●
|
The degree and nature of our competition,
|
|
●
|
The lack of diversification of our business plan,
|
| |
|
|
●
|
The general volatility of the capital markets and the establishment of a market for our shares, and
|
| |
|
|
●
|
Disruption in the economic and financial conditions primarily from the impact of past terrorist attacks in the United States, threats of future attacks, police and military activities overseas and other disruptive worldwide political and economic events and weather conditions.
|
We are also subject to other risks detailed from time to time in our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings and elsewhere in this report. Any one or more of these uncertainties, risks and other influences could materially affect our results of operations and whether forward-looking statements made by us ultimately prove to be accurate. Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether from new information, future events or otherwise.
Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
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 include certain assumptions related to doubtful accounts receivable, stock-based services, valuation of financial instruments, and income taxes. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and concentration of credit risk. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe our estimates have not been materially inaccurate in past years, and our assumptions are not likely to change in the foreseeable future.
On August 25, 2005, the Company entered into contracts which obligated the company under certain circumstances to issue shares of common stock in excess of the number of shares of common stock authorized. Under accounting guidance provided by FASB ASC 815-40-05, effective August 25, 2005 the Company began to account for all derivative financial instruments, including warrants, conversion features embedded in notes payable, and stock options, via the liability method of accounting. Accordingly, all these instruments are valued at issuance utilizing the Black-Scholes valuation method, and are re-valued at each period ending date, also using the Black-Scholes valuation method. Any gain or loss from revaluation is charged to operations during the period.
(a) Warrants:
The Company values warrants using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Warrants are valued upon issuance, and re-valued at each financial statement reporting date. Any change in value is charged to income or expense during the period. The following table illustrates certain key information regarding our warrants and warrant valuation assumptions at December 31, 2011 and 2010:

(b) Embedded conversion features of notes payable:
The Company accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible notes in accordance with ASC 815-10-05. ASC 815-10-05 generally requires companies to bifurcate conversion options embedded in convertible notes and preferred shares from their host instruments and to account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815-40-05.
The Company values embedded conversion features utilizing the Black-Scholes valuation model. Warrants are valued upon issuance, and re-valued at each financial statement reporting date. Any change in value is charged to income or expense during the period.

Doubtful Accounts Receivable
The Company maintained an allowance in the amount of $11,044 for doubtful accounts receivable at December 31, 2011, and $22,061 at December 31, 2010. Actual losses on accounts receivable were $13,841 for 2011 and $3,571 for 2010. The Company has an operational relationship of several years with our major customers, and we believe this experience provides us with a solid foundation from which to estimate our expected losses on accounts receivable. Should our sales mix change or if we develop new lines of business or new customers, these estimates and our estimation process will change accordingly. These estimates have been accurate in the past.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The estimated fair values approximate their carrying value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments or the stated interest rates are indicative of market interest rates. These fair values also vary due to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of valuation. Generally, these liabilities will increase as the price of the Company’s stock increases (with resultant gain), and decrease as the Company’s stock decreases (yielding a loss). These fluctuations are likely to continue as long as the Company has large financial instrument liabilities on its balance sheet. Should the Company succeed in removing these liabilities from its balance sheet, either by satisfying them or by reclassifying them as equity, the amount of gains and losses recognized will be reduced.
Income Taxes
The Company has a history of losses, and as such has recorded no liability for income taxes. Until such time as the Company begins to provide evidence that a continued profit is a reasonable expectation, management will not determine that there is a basis for accruing an income tax liability. These estimates have been accurate in the past.
Background
We were initially formed in June 1979 as Alpha Solarco Inc., a Colorado corporation. From June 1979 through February 2003, we were either inactive or involved in discontinued business ventures. In February 2003 we changed our name to Fiber Application Systems Technology, Ltd.
In January 2004, we changed our state of incorporation by merging into Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. (“IVFH”), a Florida shell corporation. As a result of the merger we changed our name to that of Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. In February 2004 we also acquired Food Innovations, Inc. (“FII”) a Delaware corporation incorporated on January 9, 2002 and through FII and our other subsidiaries we are in the business of national food distribution and sales using third-party shippers.
Transactions With a Major Customer
Transactions with a major customer and related economic dependence information is set forth (1) following our discussion of Liquidity and Capital Resources, (2) under the heading Transactions with Major Customers in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and (3) as the fourth item under Risk Factors.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is a discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.
This discussion may contain forward looking-statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our future results could differ materially from the forward looking-statements discussed in this report. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere in the report.
Year Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2010
Revenue
Revenue increased by $1,690,087 or approximately 17% to $11,552,813 for the year ended December 31, 2011 from $9,862,726 in the prior year. The increase was attributable to a significant increase in sales of specialty items, and smaller increases in meat and game and cheese products, partially offset by decreases in seafood and poultry products. We continue to assess the potential of new revenue sources from the manufacture and sale of proprietary food products and additional sales channel opportunities and will implement that strategy if, based on our analysis, we deem it beneficial to us.
Any changes in the food distribution operating landscape that materially hinders our current ability and/or cost to deliver our products to our customers could potentially cause a material impact on our net revenue and gross margin and, therefore, our profitability and cash flows could be adversely affected.
Currently, a small portion of our revenues comes from imported products or international sales. Our current sales from such segments may be hampered and negatively impacted by any economic tariffs that may be imposed in the United States or in foreign countries.
See "Transactions with Major Customers" and the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") mandated FR-60 disclosures following the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section for a further discussion of the significant customer concentrations, loss of significant customer, critical accounting policies and estimates, and other factors that could affect future results.
Cost of goods sold
Our cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $8,874,000, an increase of $1,266,448 or approximately 17% compared to cost of goods sold of $7,607,552 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Cost of goods sold is primarily made up of the following expenses for the year ended December 31, 2011: cost of good of specialty, meat, game, cheese poultry and other sales categories in the amount of $6,117,869; and shipping expenses in the amount of $2,360,529. The cost of goods sold increase is mainly associated with an increase in sales and gross margins improved slightly in 2011 as compared to 2010.
In 2011 we continued to aggressively price our products in order to gain market share and increase the number of our end users. We were successful in doing so and increased the number of our end users by approximately 34% to more than 28,300 end users. We currently expect if market conditions remain constant that our cost of goods sold will stabilize and likely remain at historical levels in the first half of 2012.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased by $83,197 or approximately 4%, to $2,007,367 during the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $2,090,564 for the year ended December 31, 2010. Selling, general and administrative expenses were primarily made up of the following for the year ended December 31, 2011: payroll and related expenses, including employee benefits, in the amount of $1,167,203; consulting and professional fees in the amount of $266,400; insurance costs in the amount of $115,051; facilities and related expenses in the amount of $103,153; travel and entertainment expenses in the amount of $73,280; office expense in the amount of $73,135; computer support expenses in the amount of $65,815; commissions expense in the amount of $48,489; advertising expenses in the amount of $37,883; and amortization and depreciation expense in the amount of $14,034. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily due to decreases in a non-cash item the change in fair value of the option liability in the amount of $174,835 for the year ended December 31, 2011. We expect our legal fees to slightly increase in 2012 and our accounting fees in 2012 to remain constant. We do however expect to increase our spending on advertising and marketing and web development fees in 2012.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net of interest income, increased by $83,049 or approximately 17% to $561,972 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $478,923 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2010. The primary reason for the increase was due to the acceleration of the amortization of the discount on the notes payable, due to the principal payments made.
(Gain) on extinguishment of debt
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company entered into agreements (the “Notes Settlement Agreements”) with several convertible note holders regarding thirteen convertible notes in the aggregate amount of $333,000 principal and $236,924 accrued interest. Pursuant to the Notes Settlement Agreements, the Company made cash payments in the aggregate amount of $181,604, and agreed to pay an additional $12,500 by February 15, 2012. The Company also committed to issue a total of 27,949,964 shares and agreed to issue an additional 6,103,664 shares of common stock to the note holders. The Notes Settlement Agreements resulted in the aggregate gain on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $165,326.
Loss on Settlement of Debt
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Morren Settlement Agreement”) with an investor. Pursuant to the settlement terms of the Morren Settlement Agreement, the Company issued 9,000,000 shares of common stock in full satisfaction of this claim of liability. The fair value of these shares in the amount of $63,000 was recorded as a loss on the settlement of debt during the year ended December 31, 2011.
Fair value of warrants issued in excess of discount on notes payable
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company extended the date of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 132,000,000 shares of common stock. The Company valued this extension at $134,216. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company executed a second extension of the expiration date of these 132,000,000 warrants along with the expiration date of warrants to purchase an additional 68,200,000 shares of common stock. The Company valued the extension of these warrants at $813,824, which the Company charged to operations during the year ended December 31, 2010. There is no comparable activity for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Gain from change in fair value of warrant liability
At December 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 273,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company valued the warrant liability at December 31, 2011 at $500,825. This revaluation resulted in a gain of $682,350 which the Company included in operations during the year ended December 31, 2011. This is an increase of $285,632 or approximately 72% compared to a gain of $396,718 from the revaluation of the warrant liability which the Company recorded during the year ended December 31, 2010.
Loss (Gain) from change in fair value of conversion option liability
At December 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding a liability to issue an aggregate of 221,896,400 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to convertible notes payable. The Company revalued this liability at December 31, 2011 at $1,245,761. This revaluation resulted in a gain of $595,967 which the Company included in operations for the year ended December 31, 2011. This is an increase of $1,840,206 or approximately 148% compared to a loss of $1,244,239 from the revaluation of the conversion option liability which the Company recorded during the year ended December 31, 2010.
Net (loss) Income
For the reasons above, the Company had a net income for the year ended December 31, 2011 of $1,490,117, an increase of $3,599,991 compared to a net loss of $2,109,874 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2010. In 2011 operating income improved due to increases in sales, slightly improving gross margins and a 4% decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses in 2011 as compared to 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources at December 31, 2011
As of December 31, 2011, the Company had current assets of $1,403,896, consisting of cash of $862,464, trade accounts receivable of $493,700, inventory of $42,312, and other current assets of $5,420. Also at December 31, 2011, the Company had current liabilities of $4,793,909, consisting of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1,082,870 (of which $157,080 is payable to a related party); accrued interest of $663,691; accrued interest – related parties of $29,396; current portion of notes payable, net of discounts of $978,982; current portion of notes payable – related parties, net of discounts of $130,500; warrant liability of $500,825; option liability of $161,884; and conversion option liability of $1,245,761.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, the Company had generated cash from operating activities of $594,564. This consisted of the Company’s net income of $1,490,117, offset by charges to operations $14,034 for depreciation and amortization, $147,594 for the reserve of bad debt, $292,545 for the amortization of the discount on notes payable, $148,399 for the amortization of the discount on accrued interest, $165,326 gain for the extinguishment of debt, $63,000 loss on the settlement of debt, $682,350 gain for the revaluation of the warrant liability, $595,967 gain for the revaluation of the conversion option liability, and a $174,835 gain for the revaluation of the option liability. The Company’s results also reflect a decrease in working capital deficiency of $57,352.
The Company had cash used by investing activities of $7,067 in 2011, which consisted of payments received on a loan receivable of $1,500 offset by acquisitions of property and equipment of $8,468 and the repurchase of treasury stock in the amount of $99.
The Company had cash used by financing activities of $243,115, in 2011, which consisted of principal payments on debt of $243,115.
Historically, our primary cash requirements have been used to fund the cost of operations, with additional funds having been used in promotion and advertising and in connection with the exploration of new business lines.
The Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $3,390,013 as of December 31, 2011. By adjusting its operation and development to the level of available resources, management believes it has sufficient capital resources to meet projected cash flow through the next twelve months. The Company also intends to focus on increasing market share and cash flow from operations by focusing its sales activities on specific market segments and new product lines. However, if thereafter, the Company is not successful in generating sufficient liquidity from operations or in raising sufficient capital resources, on terms acceptable to us, this could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. Currently, we do not have any material long-term obligations other than those described in Note 8 to the financial statements included in this report. As we seek to increase our sales of perishables, as well as identify new and other consumer oriented products and services, we may use existing cash reserves, long-term financing, or other means to finance such diversification.
If the Company’s cash flow from operations is insufficient, the Company may require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern. The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. The Company expects that any sale of additional equity securities or convertible debt will result in additional dilution to our stockholders.
In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion, repay its debt obligations as they become due or respond to competitive pressures, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. The Company has not made any adjustments to the financial statements which would be necessary should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern.
The independent auditors’ reports on our December 31, 2011 and 2010 financial statements included in this Annual Report states that our working capital deficiency raises substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.
2012 Plans
During 2012, in addition to our efforts to increase sales in our existing foodservice operations we plan to expand our business by expanding our focus to additional Foodservice markets, exploring potential acquisition opportunities and continuing to extend our focus from a mainly wholesale foodservice business directed towards chefs to commencing retail sales by making sales direct to consumers through a variety of direct to consumer sales channel relationships which are currently being explored. In addition we are currently exploring the introduction of a variety of new product categories and new product lines, to leverage our existing foodservice customer base.
No assurances can be given that any of these plans will come to fruition or that if implemented that they will necessarily yield positive results.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Inflation
In the opinion of management, inflation has not had a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of its operations.
Transactions With Major Customers
The Company’s largest customer, USF and its affiliates, accounted for approximately 93% and 92% of total sales in the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. A contract with USF expires December 31, 2012. No other customer accounted for more than 1% of our net revenue.
We continue to conduct business with USF.
Stock-based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FASB ASC 718-40. This statement requires the Company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period in which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which is usually the vesting period.
In August 2005, the Company’s commitments to issue shares of common stock first exceeded its common stock authorized. At this time, the Company began to value its stock options via the liability method of accounting. Pursuant to guidance in ASC 718-40 the cost of these options are valued via the Black-Scholes valuation method when issued, and re-valued at each reporting period. The gain or loss from this revaluation is charged to compensation expense during the period.
ITEM 8. Financial Statements
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Innovative Food Holdings, Inc.
Naples, Florida
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Innovative Food Holdings, Inc., and subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficiency, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its Internal Control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, the Company has incurred significant losses from operations since its inception and has a working capital deficiency. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

INNOVATIVE FOOD HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business Activity
Primarily through our subsidiary, Food Innovations, Inc. (“FII”), we are in the business of providing premium white tablecloth restaurants with the freshest origin-specific perishables and specialty products direct from its network of vendors to the end users (restaurants, hotels, country clubs, national chain accounts, casinos, and catering houses) within 24 - 72 hours, except as stated hereafter, eliminating all wholesalers and distributors. We currently sell the majority of our products through a distributor relationship between FII and Next Day Gourmet, L.P., a subsidiary of US Foodservice, Inc. (“USF”), a $20 Billion broadline distributor.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned operating subsidiary, Food Innovations, Inc. and its other wholly-owned subsidiaries Food New Media Group, Inc., Gourmet Foodservice Group, Inc. and 4 The Gourmet, Inc. (d/b/a For The Gourmet, Inc.). All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation of these entities.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue upon product delivery. We ship all our products either overnight shipping terms or three day shipping terms to the customer and the customer takes title to product and assumes risk and ownership of the product when it is delivered. Shipping charges to customers and sales taxes collectible from customers, if any, are included in revenues.
For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board “FASB” Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” 605-15-05. ASC 605-15-05 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required. ASC 605-15-05 incorporates ASC 605-25-05 "Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements". ASC 605-25-05 addresses accounting for arrangements that may involve the delivery or performance of multiple products, services and/or rights to use assets. The effect of implementing ASC 605-25-05 on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations was not significant.
This issue addresses determination of whether an arrangement involving more than one deliverable contains more than one unit of accounting and how the arrangement consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting. ASC 605-25-05 became effective for revenue arrangements entered into in periods beginning after June 15, 2003. For revenue arrangements occurring on or after August 1, 2003, the Company revised its revenue recognition policy to comply with the provisions of ASC 605-25-05.
Cost of goods sold
We have included in cost of goods sold all costs which are directly related to the generation of revenue. These costs include primarily the cost of the product plus the shipping costs.
INNOVATIVE FOOD HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010
Selling, general, and administrative expenses
We have included in selling, general, and administrative expenses all other costs which support the Company’s operations but which are not includable as a cost of sales. These include primarily payroll, facility costs such as rent and utilities, selling expenses such as commissions and advertising, and other administrative costs including professional fees and costs associated with non-cash stock compensation. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less which are not securing any corporate obligations.
Accounts Receivable
The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $11,044 and $22,061 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are valued at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives up to five years using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
The estimated service lives of property and equipment are as follows:
|
Computer Equipment
|
3 years
|
|
Office Furniture and Fixtures
|
5 years
|
Inventories
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market and is determined by the first-in, first-out method.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes payable, line of credit, accounts payable and accrued expenses, none of which is held for trading, approximates their estimated fair values due to the short-term maturities of those financial instruments.
The Company adopted ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), which provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. ASC 820-10 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 820-10 requires that valuation techniques maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its property and equipment and any identifiable intangibles for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The test for impairment is required to be performed by management at least annually. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted operating cash flow expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
As of December 31, 2011, the Company’s management believes there is no impairment of its long-lived assets. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.
Comprehensive Income
ASC 220-10-15 “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for reporting and displaying of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, ASC 220-10-15 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. The Company does not have any items of comprehensive income in any of the periods presented.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
Basic net earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, while fully-diluted net earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities assumed to be outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive securities consist of options to purchase common stock. Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate the impact of outstanding stock options and warrants. Stock options and warrants for which the exercise price exceeds the average market price over the period have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per common share and, accordingly, are excluded from the calculation.
Diluted earnings per share was computed as follows for the year ended December 31, 2011:

INNOVATIVE FOOD HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010
Anti-dilutive shares at December 31, 2011:
For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company excluded warrants to purchase 93,500,000 shares because the warrant exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares. In addition, the Company has excluded in the calculation of dilutive loss per share 48,500,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of options at $0.0076-$0.0096 per share.
Anti-dilutive shares at December 31, 2010:
For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company excluded warrants to purchase 92,500,000 shares because the warrant exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares. In addition, the Company has excluded in the calculation of dilutive loss per share 7,467,720 shares issuable upon the conversion of debt and convertible interest; 48,500,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of options at $0.0076-$0.0096 per share and 3,000,000 shares of common stock the Company has committed to issue to its President.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash in investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of applicable government mandated insurance limit. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, trade receivables from the Company’s largest customer amount to 93% and 86%, respectively, of total trade receivables.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made in prior year’s financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year.
Stock-based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FASB ASC 718-40. This statement requires the Company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period in which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which is usually the vesting period.
In August 2005, the Company’s commitments to issue shares of common stock first exceeded its common stock authorized. At this time, the Company began to value its stock options via the liability method of accounting. Pursuant to guidance in ASC 718-40 the cost of these options are valued via the Black-Scholes valuation method when issued, and re-valued at each reporting period. The gain or loss from this revaluation is charged to compensation expense during the period. Options expense and gain or loss on revaluation during the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 are summarized in the table below:

Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $3,390,013 as of December 31, 2011. However, the Company has reported a net income for the year ended December 31, 2011, due to both cash earnings and to non-cash items related to the revaluation of warrant liability and conversion option liability.
INNOVATIVE FOOD HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010
The Company is working to manage its current liabilities while it continues to make changes in operations to further improve its cash flow and liquidity position. Management believes the Company will generate sufficient capital from operations and from debt and equity financing in order to satisfy current liabilities in the succeeding twelve months. Management’s belief is based, if necessary, on the Company’s operating plans, which in turn is based on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect.
If the Company’s the cash flow from operations is insufficient, the Company may require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan and continue as a going concern. The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion, repay its debt obligations as they become due or respond to competitive pressures, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. The Company has not made any adjustments to the financial statements which would be necessary should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern.
Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
2. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
At December 31, 2011 and 2010, accounts receivable consists of:
| |
|
2011
|
|
|
2010
|
|
Accounts receivable from customers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Allowance for doubtful accounts
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. LOAN RECEIVABLE AND INTEREST RECEIVABLE
The balance of loan receivable consisted of a loan to Pasta Italiana, Inc. (“Pasta”) in the net carrying amount of $0 and $138,050 at December 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. This note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum, payable in shares of Pasta stock. The company has not received a payment on this loan since March, 2011; the entire amount of this loan is currently past due. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company reserved the remaining amount of the loan receivable to Pasta Italiana, Inc. in the amount of $136,550. The Company increased its reserve for this loan in order to maintain a conservative financial statement presentation. We intend to vigorously pursue collection activities and we will re-evaluate our reserve in future periods; any receipt of funds from Pasta will result in a credit to operations in the period received.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010
Loss on Settlement of Debt
During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Morren Settlement Agreement”) with an investor. Pursuant to the settlement terms of Morren Settlement Agreement, the Company issued 9,000,000 shares of common stock. The fair value of these shares in the amount of $63,000 was recorded as a loss on the settlement of debt.
Conversion Options Embedded in Convertible Notes
The Company accounts for conversion options embedded in convertible notes in accordance with FASB ASC 815-10-05. ASC 815-10-05 generally requires companies to bifurcate conversion options embedded in convertible notes from their host instruments and to account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815-40-05.
At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had outstanding $1,109,482 and $1,660,106 in principal, respectively, of various convertible notes with embedded conversion options accounted for as free standing derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC 815-10-05 and ASC 815-40-05. The fair value of these embedded conversion options was $1,245,761 and $2,465,565 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The fair value of these embedded conversion options were estimated at December 31, 2011 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 0.06%; expected dividend yield of 0%; expected option life of 10; and volatility 114.30%. The fair value of these embedded conversion options were estimated at December 31, 2010 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk free interest rate of 0.20%; expected dividend yield of 0%; expected option life of 10; and volatility of 119.60%. The expected term of 10 years was used for all notes in both periods because several of the notes are currently or have been in default, and accordingly the term of the note is deemed not relevant as a variable for the Black-Scholes calculation. The Company revalues the conversion options at each reporting period, and charges any change in value to operations. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded a gain of $595,967 and a loss of $1,244,239 respectively, due to the change in value of the conversion option liability.
When convertible notes payable are satisfied by payment or by conversion to equity, the Company revalues the related conversion option liability at the time of the payment or conversion. The conversion option liability is then relieved by this amount, which is charged to additional paid-in capital. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, conversion option liabilities in the amounts of $623,837 and $163,666 were transferred from liability to equity due to the conversion or payment of the related convertible notes payable.
Discounts on notes payable
The Company calculates the fair value of any beneficial conversion features embedded in its convertible notes via the Black-Scholes valuation method. The Company also calculates the fair value of any detachable warrants offered with its convertible notes via the Black-Scholes valuation method. The instruments are considered discounts to the notes, to the extent the aggregate value of the warrants and conversion features do not exceed the face value of the notes. These discounts are amortized to interest expense via the effective interest method over the term of the notes. The fair value of these instruments is expensed to interest expense to the extent that the value of these instruments exceeds the face value of the notes.
Extension of notes payable
The Company accounts for modifications of its notes payable according to the guidance in FASB ASC 470-50-40. Pursuant to ASC 470-50-40, changes to an existing note should be accounted for as an extinguishment of the note with resultant gain or loss if the present value of the cash flows from the new note vary by more than 10% from the present value of the cash flows from the original note. ASC 470-50-40 provides an exception to this rule for the addition of conversion options accounted for as a derivative liability.
During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company negotiated the extension of its notes payable in the aggregate amount of $587,000. The Company extended the maturity date of these notes until January 1, 2010. These notes, along with two additional notes payable in the aggregate amount of $150,000, contained certain provisions for a default interest rate. The Company negotiated an agreement with the noteholders and the noteholders agreed to reinstate the original interest rate of 8% per annum.

Any change in value is charged to income or expense during the period.

10. INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes result from the temporary differences arising from the use of accelerated depreciation methods for income tax purposes and the straight-line method for financial statement purposes, and an accumulation of net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes with a valuation allowance against the carryforwards for book purposes.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Included in deferred tax assets are Federal and State net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3.7 million, which will expire beginning in 2025 through 2029. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Due to significant changes in the Company's ownership, the Company's future use of its existing net operating losses may be limited.
The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 consist of the following:

Aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $0 and $64,930, respectively. Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the Company's closing stock price on the last trading day of the fiscal period, which was $0.006 and $0.008 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and the exercise price multiplied by the number of options outstanding. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options was $0. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company charged $0 and $168,409, respectively, to operations related to recognized stock-based compensation expense for employee stock options.
Accounting for warrants and stock options
The Company accounts for the issuance of common stock purchase warrants, stock options, and other freestanding derivative financial instruments in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 815-40-15. Based on the provisions of ASC 815-40-05, the Company classifies, as equity, any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) gives the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contract that (i) require net-cash settlement or (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement in shares (physical or net-share settlement). At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company has no freestanding derivative financial instruments that require net cash settlement or give the counterparty a choice of net cash settlement or settlement in shares.
The fair value of these warrants and stock options is determined utilizing the Black-Scholes valuation model. Through August 2005, these warrants were accounted for by the equity method, whereby the fair value of the warrants was charged to additional paid-in capital. During September, 2005, the number of shares of the Company's common stock issued and issuable exceeded the number of shares of common stock the Company had authorized. As the Company no longer had sufficient shares authorized to settle all of our outstanding contracts, this triggered a change in the manner in which the Company accounts for the warrants and stock options. The Company began to account for these warrants and stock options utilizing the liability method. Pursuant to ASC 815-40-15, “If a contract is reclassified from permanent or temporary equity to an asset or a liability, the change in fair value of the contract during the period the contract was classified as equity should be accounted for as an adjustment to stockholders' equity." Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company charged the amount of $10,374,536 to stockholders' equity. At the same time, the Company changed the way in which it accounts for the beneficial conversion feature of convertible notes payable (see note 8).
The accounting guidance shows that the warrants and stock options which are a derivative liability should be revalued each reporting period. The recorded value of such warrants and stock options can fluctuate significantly based on fluctuations in the market value of the underlying securities of the issuer of the warrants and stock options, as well as in the volatility of the stock price during the term used for observation and the term remaining for warrants. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized a gain of $682,350 and $396,718, respectively, for the change in the fair value of the warrant liability and recorded the change in operations during the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized a gain of $174,835 and a loss of $23,683, respectively, for the change in the fair value of the stock option liability and recorded these amounts in operations during the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

14. MAJOR CUSTOMER
The Company’s largest customer, US Foodservice, Inc. and its affiliates, accounted for approximately 93% and 92% of total sales in the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. A contract between our subsidiary, Food Innovations, and USF expires in December 2012. We believe that although a significant portion of our sales occur through USF and its affiliates, the success of the program is less contingent on a contract then on the actual performance and quality of our products.
15. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Our short-term financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and other liabilities, consist primarily of instruments without extended maturities, the fair value of which, based on management’s estimates, reasonably approximate their book value. The fair value of the Company’s stock option, convertible debt features and warrant instruments is determined using option pricing models.
As a result of the adoption of ASC 815-40, the Company is required to disclose the fair value measurements required by ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” The other liabilities recorded at fair value in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels, defined by ASC 820 are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuations of these liabilities are as follows:
|
Level 1 —
|
Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;
|
| |
|
|
Level 2 —
|
Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
|
| |
|
|
Level 3 —
|
Unobservable inputs, for which little or no market data exist, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
|
The following table summarizes the financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2011, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act were effective as of December 31, 2011 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, and summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and our disclosure controls and procedures are also effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulate and communicated to our principal executive and financial officers to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting — Guidance for Smaller Public Companies issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Subject to the inherent limitations described in the following paragraph, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective at December 31, 2011 at the reasonable assurance level.
Inherent Limitations Over Internal Controls
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and circumvention by collusion or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even an effective internal control system may not prevent or detect material misstatements on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Accordingly, our internal controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have made no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report on Form 10-K.

Qualification of Directors
We believe that all of our directors are qualified for their positions and each brings a benefit to the board. Mr. Kelpfish, as our CEO, is uniquely qualified to bring management’s perspective to the board’s deliberations. Mr. Gold, with his lengthy career working for broker/dealers, brings “wall Street’s” perspective. Mr. Ferrone, with his background, brings marketing experience to the board. Dr. Brown, with his history of investments, is able to bring an investor perspective to the board. Mr. Mayer, with his experience as an executive in start-up companies, brings that knowledge and insight to the board. Mr. Cohn, with his prior history of being an executive and his experience as a director of other companies, brings a well-rounded background and wealth of experience to our board.
Committees
The Board of Directors does not currently have an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Nominating Committee or a Governance Committee. The usual functions of such committees are performed by the entire Board of Directors. We are currently having difficulties attracting additional qualified directors, specifically to act as the audit committee financial expert, inasmuch as we have only limited resources to purchase D & O insurance.
