General Information
Hot Mama’s Foods, Inc. (the “Company”) is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 9, 2005. Our primary location is 134 Avocado St., Springfield, Massachusetts, 01104. Our Midwest branch location is at 2500 Lunt Avenue, Elk Grove Village, Illinois, 60007. Our Web site is located at www.hotmamasfoods.com (our website is not to be considered as part of this document).
History
LANSAL, INC.
The Company was formed as a sole-proprietorship in Amherst, Massachusetts, in 1984 as a maker of a variety of fresh salsa recipes, distributed directly to small local retailers by its owner-operator. In 1991 the company was purchased from its founder by Matthew Morse and maintained as a sole-proprietorship until its incorporation on January 29, 1999 as a C corporation under the name Lansal, Inc. (“Lansal”) under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. On April 4, 2013, Lansal executed a Merger Agreement with Andover Medical, Inc. (“Andover”), a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 9, 2005 (see “Andover Corporate History” below).
On July 26, 2013 Lansal and Andover completed the Merger Agreement and Andover changed its name to Hot Mama’s Foods, Inc. The Merger Agreement ( “Agreement”) was executed by and among: (i) Lansal, Inc.; (ii) Andover; (iii) Hot Mama’s Acquisition Corp. (the “Merger Sub); and (iv) Matthew Morse, the sole shareholder of Lansal (the “Shareholder”). The Agreement set forth the terms and conditions upon which the Merger Sub was merged with and into Lansal, with Lansal surviving (the “Surviving Company”) and the separate existence of the Merger Sub ceased. As a result of the Merger, Andover became the sole shareholder of the Surviving Company and the Shareholder and his assignees own ninety-one percent (91%) of the equity securities of Andover on a fully diluted basis and with unencumbered voting rights.
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Andover paid the Merger Consideration to the Shareholder, as follows:
a) Andover paid to the Shareholder and his assignees Merger Consideration consisting of ninety-one percent (91%) of Andover’s outstanding equity interests on a fully diluted basis. Shareholder received at the Closing, on a post-reverse split basis, such number of shares of Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Class E, F, G, and H Warrants to purchase a number of shares equal to 91% of the shares issuable. All Outstanding Shares of Lansal owned by the Shareholder are no longer outstanding and they were automatically cancelled, retired and ceased to exist and any certificates or other indicia of ownership previously representing the Outstanding Shares shall represent only the right to receive the aggregate Merger Consideration.
b) Andover paid from its own funds all of its transaction costs required by this transaction, consisting primarily of legal, accounting and franchise tax expenses. Andover shall pay all known outstanding payables and liabilities as of the date of Merger. Andover deposited $250,000 (the “Escrow Funds”) with the escrow agent for the benefit of Lansal and the Shareholder. The Escrow Funds were released without reduction to the Shareholder and Lansal in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Lansal, Andover and Shareholder are also subject to certain warranties and representations.
ANDOVER CORPORATE HISTORY
Andover was originally incorporated in Massachusetts on April 16, 2003 as Snow & Sail Sports, Inc., which provided one-day ski trips to customers within the New England area. Andover reincorporated in Delaware under the same name on September 9, 2005. Andover filed a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 22, 2005, which was delivered effective in January 2006.
On August 31, 2006, Andover entered into a reorganization agreement pursuant to which it spun off its then existing business to former management and in connection therewith, on September 1, 2006, it amended its Certificate of Incorporation to change its name to Andover Medical, Inc. The new business of the Company was to engage in the business of distributing procedure specific durable medical equipment (“DME”) and service segments of the orthopedic and podiatric physician care markets in the United States.

On March 3, 2009, Andover filed a Form 15 with the SEC to terminate the registration of its common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and it ceased making periodic filings with the SEC thereafter.
On July 12, 2011, Andover entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Hanger Orthopedic Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hanger Prosthetics & Orthotics, Inc. (collectively, “Hanger”), pursuant to which Hanger purchased all of the capital stock of Andover’s two operating subsidiaries, Ortho-Medical Products, Inc. and Rainier Surgical Incorporated. The aggregate purchase price paid by Hanger was $2,578,595. Exclusive of the $250,000 Escrow Funds paid to Lansal as set forth above, neither Andover nor Lansal shall have any right to any and all future payments from Hanger.
In connection with the SPA, Andover entered into redemption agreements with Preferred Stockholders to purchase their Preferred Stock so that the only series of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding upon the closing of the Merger was 4,016 shares of Series A Preferred Stock convertible into 41,549,563 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 1,065,373 shares, following the reverse split. There were approximately 75,679,252 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the closing of the SPA, or approximately 1,940,493 shares following the 1 for 39 reverse split. All share and per share data in this registration statement, except where noted, give retroactive effect to the 1 for 39 reverse split.
Company Overview
We develop, manufacture, sell and distribute fresh, refrigerated or perishable prepared foods, including the general product categories of: salsa, hummus, pesto, dips, spreads, sauces, deli salads, entrees, side dishes, and varieties of the same or similar products. Our broad product attributes can - as specified by our customer or the target market - include designations of “All-Natural” as generally accepted within the food industry; Kosher, as certified by certifying bodies including Orthodox Union; USDA Certified Organic as certified by regional certifying agents sanctioned under the USDA NOP (U.S. Department of Agriculture National Organic Program); USDA-regulated processes under USDA establishment number M34230 including meat, poultry, and other processes that fall under USDA’s Food Safety Inspection Service jurisdiction. Our Company can offer, subject to independent verification, designations such as Non-GMO; Gluten-free; and other health claims subject to the FDA’s (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) regulations on such claims. Our services include testing, and documentation of custom or proprietary formulas and processes necessary for the introduction of new or customized products either at the request of our customers or as part of the sales process with prospective customers. Our products are manufactured conventionally (with preservatives), all-natural (without any artificial ingredients or substances), certified organic, Kosher, or with other designations as indicated by our customers. Our products appear in the market under our “Hot Mama’s Foods” brand, under the label of a wholesale brand customer (Contract or Copack), or under private label (the label of a retailer, or store brand). We market our products to regional and national retail grocery chains, distributors to the retail grocery industry, brand-holders requiring contract manufacturing services, restaurant chains, and secondary processors making assemblies using our products as components or ingredients. Our products are sold throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico.
We have experienced rapid growth in recent years. Since 2008, revenue has increased 101%. In 2012 revenue increased 35.8% to $28.9 million as compared to $21.3 million in 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, revenue increased 18.8% when compared to the same period in the prior year. Our growth has been driven by increased market penetration, additional product offerings, and in part by promotional and marketing efforts increasing awareness of the hummus category in particular.
We signed a 10-year lease for our new facility in Wheeling, IL, and we are initiating an expansion and upgrade program for our owned facility in Springfield, MA. These changes have been implemented to support our expected growth and to support a wider range of capabilities and increased capacity. Our plans will require new equipment and infrastructure investment, including the implementation of a new integrated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), and Business Intelligence (BI) system to accommodate the expected growth in our business. We plan to continue to increase revenues with focused sales efforts existing account development, and additional product offerings. We will continue improvements in manufacturing equipment, training, and processes, business systems, and overhead reduction to strengthen our gross profit and EBIDTA. However, in order to expand capacity and capability to enable us to capitalize on new opportunities, additional capital will be required. We anticipate needing approximately $4 million to execute our plan, of which only $2,222,000 is committed with $771,000 already paid and the balance to be paid within the next six months. Our business expansion may require additional capital resources that may be funded through the issuance of common stock or of notes payable or other debt instruments that may affect our debt structure. Our cash flow projections presently indicate that we will have sufficient liquidity to fund our ongoing operations for the next twelve months. There can be no assurances that we will be able to increase revenue or obtain additional capital. See Item 2 “Financial Information - Management’s” Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations.”

Products are distributed primarily by common carrier in Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) quantities directly to the customer’s designated delivery point, freight consolidator, or distribution center. Our own brand items are distributed on our own truck or common carrier (LTL) to the retailer or distributor, or on trucks arranged or provided by the retailer or distributor. In-house sales staff and outside brokers are used to facilitate new and existing relationships with customers and distribution channels. Our principal geographic market is the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The primary markets include:
1. | Private Label: products manufactured by us and packaged under the label of a retailer grocery outlet. Our target customer in this market is any grocery retailer with a multi-store regional or national presence. | |
2. | Contract manufacturing, Branded: Also referred to as “Co-packing”. This market includes any manufacturing done under a retail brand other than our own. A defining feature of this market is the brand-holder is the party selling the branded item(s) to the grocery retail channel. | |
3. | Contract Manufacturing, Restaurant Chain: This market includes our manufacturing of components for sole use by a restaurant chain or brand, such as spreads which are used in the preparation of meals in a retail food service setting. | |
4. | Ingredients and Components: This market includes our manufacturing of components, ingredients, or sub-assemblies that become part of a product made by other manufacturers. The end product is then offered at wholesale, and sold at retail through commissary or retail food-service customers of the subsequent manufacturer. An example of this would be a spread, sold without any branding to other manufacturer, and then assembled into a packaged sandwich distributed through a convenience store (C-store) or commissary, such as might be found within the location of a major retailer such as a national bookstore chain or furniture store that features cafeteria-style service or similar retail food service. | |
5. | Hot Mama’s Foods Brand: This market includes all products sold under a Hot Mama’s Foods label through any retail, wholesale club, foodservice distributor or outlet store. The defining feature is the presence of our brand on the packaging, where we are the wholesaler to a distributor or retailer and are primarily financially responsible for any marketing or other associated costs of sales. |
Suppliers
We purchase our materials and ingredients from a variety of suppliers and brokers. They, in turn, are manufacturing our materials from raw materials obtained from other suppliers, or are distributing the agricultural products of various domestic and foreign growers or producers. We have no direct relationship with those suppliers, growers or producers. Our primary raw materials include the plastic containers used to package the products, chick peas, tahini, tomatoes, lemon juice and blended olive oils. All primary and secondary materials are available from multiple sources and in sufficient supply to meet our needs for the foreseeable future. Our raw produce is susceptible to price fluctuations driven by weather and seasonality, and certain products such as lemon juice and sesame are imported. Chick peas are purchased from Individually Quick Frozen (IQF), a supplier in Canada. Our strategic goals include identifying alternate sources and methods of preparation.
Trademarks
Hot Mama’s Foods held a registered trademark on Lazy Chef, a dormant brand name of pesto products produced by Hot Mama’s Foods, which expired in 2011. We will apply for trademarks whenever it is deemed important to our business operations.
Seasonality
Typically salsa, hummus and dip categories are broadly affected by the occurrence of “eating holidays” and increased entertaining that occurs in the summer months. Our operations do not shut down for extended periods of time or engage in large seasonal layoffs or staff reductions due to seasonal factors. Our business cycle typically has a mild peak in June and July, and a second mild peak that precedes the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
Working Capital Practices
The perishable nature of the majority our products results in many having a short shelf life at market. Certain products are dated with as little as 7 to 10 days from delivery in the all-natural category to as much as 60 days from delivery for refrigerated conventional, or preserved, products. In order to meet variable customer demand and supply fresh product to our primary customers, we maintain an inventory of raw materials and finished goods of a combined value of up to $1,400,000 at any given time. Of that total, up to $250,000 in finished goods may be on hand at any given time. We do not accept returns, except in rare cases where the product has been maintained at proper temperature throughout the cold chain, and with enough shelf life to allow for its subsequent sale. Our terms with customers extend between net 10 Days and net 30 Days, with certain customers allowed discount terms of 1%10, Net 30. Certain customers are given an allowance for spoils by contract which is deducted from the payment at a fixed percentage.

Customers
In total, 14 customers comprised 99% of our total sales in 2012 and 83% of total sales were derived from five end customers. We are bound by confidentiality agreements from publicly releasing the names of our private label and branded customers. Confidential Treatment has been requested by Hot Mama’s Foods, Inc. for the names of the two customers which accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the last two years and the interim period this year. We designate our primary customers as Customer 1, Customer 2, etc., with the respective number designation indicating the ranking of that customer in our total sales. We do not have contracts with our two largest customers and no minimum purchases are required. In 2012, Customer 1 was 53%, down from 63% in 2011, and 78% in 2010. Customer 2 was 30% of gross sales in 2012 and 16% in 2011. Customers 1 and 2, directly and indirectly, accounted for all 83% of total sales from the five largest end customers, as customers 3, 4 and 5 were invoiced by Customer 2. These two customers represented 82% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to 79% during the comparable period last year. Our strategic goal of reducing the single-customer influence has resulted in a 15 percentage point decrease in 2012 sales by Customer 1, while at the same time increasing in dollar volume. This has been achieved by addition of new customers.
Figures 1 and 2 below illustrate the dollar sales and percentage of total sales of Customer 1.
Backlog Orders
We do not have any backlog of orders due to the perishable nature of our products and the rapid turnover of finished inventory.
Regulatory and Government
Our business is subject to the oversight of several regulatory agencies, including from time-to-time: FDA, USDA; and state or local Boards of Health with jurisdiction over wholesale food manufacturing. We meet or exceed all requirements as mandated by statute or regulation. In addition our operations are routinely inspected by various certifying agencies as referenced above, including Kosher, USDA Organic, GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) via the SQF (Safe Quality Food) platform, and other agencies, third-party process auditors, and customers’ Quality Assurance or other agents as is usual and customary in our industry. We do not have any contracts with any government agency. We do not have any contracts which are subject to renegotiation of profits or termination at the election of the government.
Competition
Aside from smaller regional or micro-enterprise participants in any market, our major competitors in our two primary markets are listed below. All other markets of our sales comprise less than 10% of our total business at the time of the filing of this Form 10 and have numerous entrants of varying size and visibility, and no attempt is made here to identify them in detail.
· | Hummus : 67.7% of our total sales in 2012, and accounted for approximately 70.4% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 This is our dominant market and the majority of the hummus products we produce are grocery retailers as a private label brand. Our primary competitor in the private label hummus market is Cedars Mediterranean Foods, Inc. In addition to our private label customers we have several co-pack customers whose brands also compete with private label brands. This competition exists without conflict of interest to our company or customers. It should be noted that our co-pack customer’s competitors in this category are branded products, including Sabra (PepsiCo) as the dominant brands, as well as Tribe Mediterranean. |
· | Salsa : 12.5% of our total sales in 2012 and accounted for 11.9% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Our private label grocery customers in this market largely drive our sales. Our competitors in private label tend to be small, regional manufacturers and are not highly visible. In both the branded and private label markets some of the primary manufacturers include Garden Fresh, Santa Barbara (Sabra/PepsiCo), and La Mexicana. |
5 |
In general, the grocery private label market is insulated from the strategies employed by large branded companies such as Sabra (PepsiCo). Management believes based on their knowledge of the industry that consumers of private label goods are becoming increasing loyal to the retailers that offer them, and perceive value in the house-branded products more so than in decades past. Management further believes, based on their extensive experience in the industry, that changing consumer perspectives becoming more favorable to store brand value propositions has spurred growth in all consumer product categories which benefits our position in our categories.
Research and Development
We did not spend any material amount of funds on company-sponsored research and development, nor did we have any customer-sponsored research and development during the last two fiscal years and the six-month period ended June 30, 2013.
Environmental
Federal, state, or local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment had no material impact on our business.
Employees
As of September 30, 2013, we employed 140 people all of whom are considered full-time. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

Special Note About Forward-Looking Statements
This Registration Statement on Form 10 and other reports filed by Hot Mama’s, Inc. (the “Company”) from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the filings, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including risks relating to the Company’s industry, the Company’s operations and results of operations, and any businesses that the Company may acquire. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Registration Statement.
Overview of our Business
(All dollar amounts referred to herein are in thousands, except as otherwise indicated.)
We develop, manufacture, sell, and distribute perishable prepared foods including: salsa, hummus, pesto, dips, spreads, deli salads, entrees, side dishes and similar product categories. We continue to diversify our product offerings by integrating more entrees, side dishes, soups and sauces. Our products are manufactured conventionally (with preservatives), all-natural (without any artificial ingredients or substances), certified organic, Kosher, or with other designations as indicated by our customers. Our products appear in the market under our “Hot Mama’s Foods” brand, under the label of a wholesale brand customer (Contract or Copack), or under private label (the label of a retailer, or store brand). We market our products to regional and national retail grocery chains, distributors to the retail grocery industry, brand-holders requiring contract manufacturing services, restaurant chains, and secondary processors making assemblies using our products as components or ingredients. Our products are sold throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico.
We have experienced rapid growth in recent years. Since 2008, revenue has increased 101%. In 2012 revenue increased 35.8% to $28,900 as compared to $21,300 in 2011 and for the six months ended June 30, 2013 revenue increased 18.8% to $16,690 as compared to $14,053 in the comparable period last year. Our growth has been driven by increased market penetration, additional product offerings, and, in part, by promotional and marketing efforts increasing awareness of the hummus category in particular. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had a large concentration of sales to two private label customers, which represent approximately 53% and 30%, respectively, of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to 63% and 16%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2011. These two customers, directly and indirectly, accounted for all 83% of total sales for the five largest end customers, as customers 3, 4 and 5 were invoiced by the second customer. These two customers accounted for 82% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Confidential Treatment has been requested by Hot Mama’s Foods, Inc. for the names of the two customers which accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the last two years and the interim period this year. As product lines grow and the marketing campaigns continue to be successful, we hope to increase our customer base. We do not have contracts with our two largest customers and no minimum purchases are required. Revenues are based upon firm purchase orders received from our customers.
We signed a 10-year lease for our new facility in Wheeling, IL, and we are initiating an expansion and upgrade program for our owned facility in Springfield, MA. These changes have been implemented to support our expected growth and to support a wider range of capabilities and increased capacity. Our plans will require new equipment and infrastructure investment, including the implementation of a new integrated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), and Business Intelligence (BI) system to accommodate the expected growth in our business. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, short term working capital financing from $1,500 lines of credit, including a $250 line of credit for equipment, and various long-term debt financing activities. We plan to continue to increase revenues with focused sales efforts, existing account development, and additional product offerings. We will continue improvements in manufacturing equipment training, and processes, business systems, and overhead reduction to strengthen our gross profit and EBIDTA. However, in order to expand capacity and capability to enable us to capitalize on new opportunities, additional capital will be required. We anticipate needing approximately $4,000 to execute our plan, of which only $2,222 is committed with $771 already paid and the balance to be paid within the next six months. Our business expansion may require additional capital resources that may be funded through the issuance of common stock or of notes payable or other debt instruments that may affect our debt structure. Our cash flow projections presently indicate that we will have sufficient liquidity to fund our ongoing operations for the next twelve months. There can be no assurances that we will be able to increase revenue or obtain additional capital.
Results of Operations For the Quarter Ended June 30, 2013 as compared to June 30, 2012
Net Revenues
Net revenues increased $1,645 (20.7%) to $9,399 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $7,754 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The Hummus product line represents the major portion of sales and accounted for approximately 71.8% and 65.7% of total revenues, respectively, for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. This increase in revenues is primarily due to the higher volume as a result of effective marketing campaigns, and product quality as compared to competition. Two customers accounted for 82% of revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 as compared to 79% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. As product lines grow and the marketing campaigns continue to be successful, we hope to increase our customer base.

Gross Profit
Gross profit increased $118 (8.7%) to $1,469 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $1,351 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 15.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 as compared to 17.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The decrease is driven by higher material and direct and indirect labor costs.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $233 (22.4%) to $1,271 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $1,038 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. This increase is primarily attributed to an increase in salaries and other payroll costs related to additional personnel to strengthen the organization as well as higher consulting and professional fees associated with the merger.
Income (Loss) from Operations
As a result of the above, the Company recorded net income from operations in the amount of $198 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, as compared to a net income from operations of $313 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.
Other Income (Expense)

Income (Loss) before Income Taxes
As a result of the above, the Company recorded income before taxes in the amount $163 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 as compared to net income before taxes of $277 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.
Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes
For the quarter ended June 30, 2013 the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $70 as compared to $106 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The change is due to the lower income for the quarter ended June 30 2013 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2012. These amounts represent the effective federal and state rate on the Company’s income (loss) before taxes.
Net Income (Loss)
As a result of the above, the Company recorded net income of $93 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 as compared to net income of $171for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Net Revenues
Net revenues increased $2,637 (18.8%) to $16,690 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $14,053 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The Hummus product line represents the major portion of sales and accounted for approximately 70.4% and 64.0% of total revenues, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. This increase in revenues is primarily due to the higher volume as a result of effective marketing campaigns, and product quality as compared to competition. Two customers accounted for 82% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to 79% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. As product lines grow and the marketing campaigns continue to be successful, we hope to increase our customer base.

Gross profit increased $107 (4.4%) to $2,517 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $2,410 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in gross profit is attributed to the revenue increase noted above. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 15.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to 17.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease is driven by higher material and direct and indirect labor costs. The Company is addressing the material cost increases with its vendors and reviewing its manufacturing operations to improve efficiency.

This increase is primarily attributed to an increase in salaries and other payroll costs related to additional personnel to strengthen the organization as well as higher consulting and professional fees associated with the merger.
We have performed a review of our operations and organizational structure with the view of strengthening our organization and lowering overhead costs. In connection with the review, we have incurred a restructuring charge of $50 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 for personnel severance costs.

Results of Operations 2012 as compared to 2011
Net Revenues
Net revenues increased $7,628 (35.8%) to $28,931 for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to $21,303 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Hummus product line represents the major portion of sales, accounting for approximately 68% and 58%, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. This increase in revenues is primarily due to the higher volume as a result of effective marketing campaigns, and product quality as compared to competition. Two customers accounted for 83% of 2012 revenues as compared to 79% of 2011 revenues. As product lines grow and our marketing campaigns continue to be successful, we hope to increase our customer base. Revenues are based upon firm purchase orders received from our customers. We do not have contracts with our two largest customers and no minimum purchases are required.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased $1,730 (53%) to $4,971 for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to $3,241 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase in gross profit is mostly attributed to the increase in revenues as well as through process improvements, cost reductions and periodic price increases to customers. There has been no significant increase in the cost of raw materials to impact gross profit. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 17.2% for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to 15.2% for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
June 30, 2013 Principal Sources and Uses of Funds
At June 30, 2013 the Company had negative working capital of $207 as compared to $223 of positive working capital at December 31, 2012. This resulted primarily from the increase in the Company’s accounts payable, accrued expenses, and bank overdrafts.
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company had a net decrease in cash of $318. The principal sources and uses of funds were as follows:
Cash provided by operating activities: For the six months ended June 30, 2013 the Company generated $351 of cash from operating activities as compared to $485 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This decrease is primarily attributed to the $141 operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
Cash used in investing activities: Net cash used in investing activities was $544 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $448 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 due primarily to an increase in the purchase of equipment for our Wheeling, Illinois facility, partially offset by the proceeds from the sale of a capital asset.
Cash used in financing activities: Net cash used in financing activities was $125 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $25 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. This increase is attributed mostly to lower borrowings from the line of credit and lower repayment of capitalized lease obligations offset partially by higher repayment of notes payable.
December 31, 2012 Principal Sources and Uses of Funds
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company had an increase in cash of $328. The principal sources and uses of funds were as follows:
Cash provided by operating activities: For the year ended December 31, 2012 the Company generated $411 of cash from operating activities as compared to $269 for the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase is primarily attributed to the increase in income from operations partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable.
Cash used in investing activities: Net cash used in investing activities was $989 for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to $721 for the year ended December 31, 2011 due primarily to an increase in the purchase of equipment.
10 |
Cash provided by financing activities: Net cash provided by financing activities was $906 for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to $444 for the year ended December 31, 2011. This increase is attributed mostly to an increase in proceeds from the line of credit.
Financing Activities
In December 2012, the Company negotiated a revolving line of credit with a bank in the amount of $1,300, which requires monthly interest payments at a rate of prime plus 0.5% (3.75% at June 30, 2013), but at no time shall the interest rate be less than 4.0%. The availability of loans is subject to certain restrictions based upon accounts receivable. Each calendar year the Company must reduce the unpaid balance due to zero, and must maintain such balance for 30 days. All unpaid principal and interest under this line is immediately payable upon demand (whether or not scheduled payments have been timely made) and the Company will be in default if not paid immediately once demand is made. The lender maintains the sole and exclusive discretion as to whether to continue with this line of credit. All unpaid principal and interest shall be immediately due and payable upon demand. The balance on the line of credit was $789 at December 31, 2012. At June 30, 2013 the balance was $672 and $628 was available on the line of credit.
In December 2012, The Company also signed an additional line of credit for equipment in the amount of $250. All advances are at the sole discretion of the bank. These advances may be used only for eligible equipment and may not exceed 80% of the equipment value. Interest commences at the date of advance and is payable monthly. Advances are payable (including interest) over 60 months at a rate of prime plus 1%, but at no time shall the interest rate be less than 4.0%. The balance on this line of credit was $193 at June 30, 2013.
The Company also has an available credit card line of credit in the amount of $50, subject to variable credit card interest rates and repayment terms. There were no outstanding balances on this credit card line at June 30, 2013.
The lines of credit are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, BML Holdings LLC and mortgages on property owned by the shareholder as well as being guaranteed by the stockholder.
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, short term working capital financing from a $1,500 line of credit, and various long-term debt financing activities. We plan to continue to increase revenues with focused sales efforts, existing account development, and additional product offerings. We will continue improvements in manufacturing equipment, training, and processes, business systems, and overhead reduction to strengthen our gross profit and EBIDTA. However, in order to expand capacity and capability to enable us to capitalize on new opportunities, additional capital will be required. We anticipate needing approximately $4,000 to execute our plan, of which only $2,222 is committed with $771 already paid and the balance to be paid within the next six months. Our business expansion may require additional capital resources that may be funded through the issuance of common stock or of notes payable or other debt instruments that may affect our debt structure. Our cash flow projections presently indicate that we will have sufficient liquidity to fund our ongoing operations for the next twelve months. There can be no assurances that we will be able to increase revenue or obtain additional capital.
Our capital requirements are large at this time to support our growth. In the foreseeable future, we will continue to have large capital needs to finance the expansion of facilities and capacity. The Company is currently SQF (“Safe Quality Food”) compliant and Wheeling, IL facility is being updated to also comply. We are confident that we have sufficient capital to fund our operations and plans for at least the next twelve months. However, we will seek additional financing to fund non-contracted commitments.
Impact of Inflation
Inflation has not had a material effect on our results of operations. We expect the market for raw materials to fluctuate periodically as is typical for our primary materials: fresh produce and plastics.
Seasonality
Typically salsa, hummus and dip categories are broadly affected by the occurrence of “eating holidays” and increased entertaining that occurs in the summer months. Our operations do not shut down for extended periods of time or engage in large seasonal layoffs or staff reductions due to seasonal factors. Our business cycle typically has a mild peak in June and July, and a second mild peak that precedes the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
Critical Accounting Estimates
In preparing the financial statements and accounting for the underlying transactions and balances, the Company applies its accounting policies as disclosed in Note 2 of our Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company’s accounting policies that require a higher degree of judgment and complexity used in the preparation of financial statements include:
11 |
Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue when the product’s title and risk of loss transfers to the Company based upon shipping terms. The policy meets the four following criteria (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred; (iii) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s sales policy is to require customers to provide orders with the agreed upon selling prices and shipping terms. The Company evaluates the credit risk of each customer and establishes an allowance of doubtful accounts for any credit risk. Sales returns and allowances are estimated upon shipment and based upon historical experience is nil.
Accounts Receivable - The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based on customer payment and current credit worthiness, as determined by review of their current credit information. The Company continuously monitors credit limits for and payments from its customers and maintains provision for estimated credit losses based on its historical experience and any specific customer issues that have been identified. While such credit losses have historically been within the Company’s expectation and the provision established, the Company cannot guarantee that this will continue. An allowance for doubtful accounts was not deemed necessary at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company is not party to any off-balance sheet arrangements that may affect its financial position of results of operations.
New Accounting Pronouncements:
No recently issued accounting pronouncements had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Item 9. | Market Price of and Dividends on the Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters |
After we suspended our reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in March 2009, our Common Stock was quoted on the OTC Markets under the symbol “ADOV”. In connection with the merger between the Company and Lansal, the Company changed its ticker symbol on the OTC Markets to “HOTF”, which went effective September 6, 2013. As of June 26, 2013, there were 70 holders of record of our common stock and approximately 200 beneficial owners that we know of.
The following table sets forth the high and low bid prices for our common stock for the periods indicated, as reported by the OTC Markets. The quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission, and may not represent actual transactions. These prices do not give retroactive effect to the 1 for 39 reverse split effective upon the Merger.

Item 12. | Indemnification of Directors and Officers |
Under Section 145(a) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, we have the power to indemnify our directors, officers, employees or agents who are parties or threatened to be made parties to any threatened, pending or completed civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) arising from that person’s role as our director, officer, employee or agent against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful.
Under Section 145(b) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, we have the power to indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents who are parties or threatened to be made parties to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in our favor arising from that person’s role as our director, officer, employee or agent against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to us unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Section 145(c) further provides that if one of our present or former directors or officers has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.
Further, Section 145(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law allows us to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was our director, officer, employee or agent against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Section 145(e) of the Delaware General Corporation Law allows us to pay expenses incurred by directors and officers incurred in defending any civil or criminal action or proceeding for which indemnification is required, or for which indemnification is permitted following authorization by the board of directors in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnified party to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
These limitations of liability, indemnification and expense advancements may discourage a stockholder from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. The provisions may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these limitations of liability and
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to the court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Insurance: The Registrant maintains directors and officers liability insurance, which covers directors and officers of the Registrant against certain claims or liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)
1. Business and Organization
Business and Organization
Hot Mama’s Foods was formed as a sole-proprietorship in Amherst, Massachusetts, in 1984 as a maker of a variety of fresh salsa recipes, distributed directly to small local retailers by its owner-operator. The company was maintained as a sole-proprietorship until its incorporation on January 29, 1999 as a C corporation under the name Lansal, Inc. (“Lansal”) under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. On July 26, 2013, the Company completed a Merger Agreement with Andover Medical, Inc. (“Andover”), a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 9, 2005.
Hot Mama’s Foods manufactures and packages natural and organic food products for retail sale, private label, and food service operations. Among these products are salsa, hummus, dips, and sauces. Customers are located throughout the United States, but our customers distribute our product primarily east of the Mississippi. The Company has manufacturing facilities located in Springfield, Massachusetts, and Elk Grove Village, Illinois.
Typically, we are broadly affected by the occurrence of holidays and increased entertaining that occurs in the summer months. The Company’s operations do not shut down for extended periods of time or engage in large seasonal layoffs or staff reductions due to seasonal factors. The Company’s business cycle typically has a mild peak in June and July, and a second mild peak that precedes the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation:
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of Hot Mama’s Foods, Inc. (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2013, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, and statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and include the Company’s accounts as well as those of a certain variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The December 31, 2012 balance sheet included herein was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10. Accordingly, the financial statements included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10 for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires that management 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Non-controlling Interests
The Company presents non-controlling interests as a component of equity, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling interest will be accounted for as equity transactions, and upon a loss of control, retained ownership interest will be re-measured at fair value, with any gain or loss recognized in earnings.
Income and losses attributable to the non-controlling interests associated with BML Holdings, LLC are presented separately in the Company’s basic financial statements.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes revenue when the product’s title and risk of loss transfers to the Company based upon shipping terms. The policy meets the four following criteria (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred; (iii) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s sales policy is to require customers to provide orders with the agreed upon selling prices and shipping terms. The Company evaluates the credit risk of each customer and establishes an allowance of doubtful accounts for any credit risk. Sales returns and allowances are estimated upon shipment and based upon historical experience is nil.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The Company adopted the provisions of the accounting pronouncement which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances fair value measurement disclosure. Under the provisions of the pronouncement, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use on unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is described below:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
The Company’s current financial assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to their short term nature and include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable capital leases and line of credit. Notes and mortgages payable approximate fair value as the terms and interest rates they are carried at approximate the rates they would incur if they refinanced the obligations.
Concentrations of Credit Risk:
Cash held in banks: The Company maintains cash balances at a financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to federally insured limits. At times balances may exceed FDIC insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Accounts Receivable: Customer accounts typically are collected within a short period of time, and based on its assessment of current conditions and its experience collecting such receivables, management believes it has no significant risk related to its concentration within its accounts receivable.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company regularly assesses the shelf-life of inventories and reserve for those inventories when it becomes apparent the product will not be sold or raw materials will not be utilized in the production process within freshness specifications. An allowance for obsolete finished goods or packaging materials was not deemed necessary as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Equipment and Leasehold Improvements: Office and manufacturing equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using various straight-line and accelerated methods over the following fixed asset lives:
Computers and Software | 5 years |
Furniture and Fixtures | 7-10 years |
Machinery and Equipment | 7-12 years |
Vehicles | 5-6 years |
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease or the useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter.
Maintenance, repairs, and renewals that do not materially add to the value of the equipment nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred.
When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in the Statements of Operations.
Intangible Assets: The Company amortizes its trade name using the straight-line method over fifteen years. Additionally, deferred financing costs are amortized over the life of the related bank loan, which ranges from three to ten years.
Deferred Income Taxes: Deferred income taxes reflects the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, as well as operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current or non-current based on the classification of the related assets or liabilities for financial reporting, or according to the expected reversal dates of the specific temporary differences, if not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting. Valuation allowances are established against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized.
Deferred tax assets 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 or laws is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
Income Tax Uncertainties: The calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on the two-step process prescribed by applicable accounting principles. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step requires the Company to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as this requires the Company to determine the probability of various possible outcomes.
The Company reevaluates these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit, and new audit activity. Such a change in recognition or measurement would result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision in the period. The Company recognizes interest and penalties as incurred in other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company has not recognized any uncertain tax positions.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share:
Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including common stock equivalents, such as stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. Diluted income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period and excludes the anti-dilutive effects of common stock equivalents that decrease the weighted-average number of shares outstanding on a hypothetical conversion. In instances where the Company has a net loss, basic and diluted loss per share are determined to be the same as the increase of weighted-average number of shares would decrease the net loss per share.
Risks and Uncertainties:
The Company’s operations are subject to a number of risks, including but not limited to, changes in the general economy, demand for the Company’s products, the success of its customers, research and development results, reliance on commercial markets, litigation, and the renewal of its line of credit.
Long-Lived Assets:
The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future, undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an 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 assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. No impairment losses have been recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2012.
Accounts Receivable:
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based on customer payment and current credit worthiness, as determined by review of their current credit information. The Company continuously monitors credit limits for and payments from its customers and maintains provision for estimated credit losses based on its historical experience and any specific customer issues that have been identified. While such credit losses have historically been within the Company’s expectation and the provision established, the Company cannot guarantee that this will continue. The Company has an allowance for doubtful accounts of $35 and $0 at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

3. Variable Interest Entity
The Company holds a variable interest in BML Holdings, LLC (“BML”). BML is the lessor of the Company's Springfield, MA facility and is owned 100% by the stockholder of Hot Mama’s Foods, Inc. The Company and BML have a Cross-Collateralization/Cross-Default/Cross-Guaranty Agreement with their lenders. BML has entered into a Collateral Assignment of Leases and Rents with the lenders. These agreements would become operative at the lenders’ option upon occurrence of a “Default” or an “Event of Default” pursuant to the loan documents. The stockholder has guaranteed the Company and BML notes and mortgages, and has assigned a $750 life insurance policy
The Company has a variable interest in BML obtained in the lessee and lessor relationship, which is impacted by common ownership and the ability to compel payment whether stated or silent in the lease agreement. The Company is deemed to have a controlling financial interest as it has the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact BML’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of BML that could potentially be significant.
The Company reassesses every reporting period the presentation of BML to conclude if consolidation is required. As such, the conclusion regarding the primary beneficiary status is subject to change and circumstances are continually reevaluated.
The classification and carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of BML in the consolidated balance sheet are as follows for the periods ended June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

Stock Option Plan
Effective upon the completion of the Merger, the Board of Directors adopted the 2013 Employee Stock Incentive Plan (“the Plan”) which reserved for issuance options to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of its Common Stock. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or by a committee appointed by the Board of Directors. Within the limits of the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have the authority to determine, in its absolute discretion, (i) the individuals to whom, and the time or times at which Awards shall be granted, (ii) whether and to what extent Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Restricted Stock or any combination thereof are to be granted hereunder, (iii) the number of Shares to be covered by each Award granted hereunder, (iv) the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder including, but not limited to, the option price, any vesting condition, restriction or limitation (which may be related to the performance of the participant, the Company or any Subsidiary), and any vesting, acceleration, forfeiture or waiver regarding any Award and the shares of Common Stock relating thereto, (v) modify, amend or adjust the terms and conditions of any Award, at any time or from time to time, including but not limited to, Performance Goals; provided, however, that the Committee may not adjust upwards the amount payable with respect to Qualified Performance-Based Awards or waive or alter the Performance Goals associated therewith or cause such Restricted Stock to vest earlier than permitted; (vi) to what extent and under what circumstances Common Stock and other amounts payable with respect to an Award shall be deferred; and (vii) under what circumstances an Award may be settled in cash or Common Stock and, provided, however , that the Committee shall not have such power to the extent that the mere possession (as opposed to the exercise) of such power would result in adverse tax consequences to any participant under Code Section 409A. In making such determinations, the Committee may take into account such factors as the Committee, in its absolute discretion, shall deem relevant.
Subject to certain adjustments, as defined, the exercise price of each Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be set forth in the applicable Option Agreement, but in no event shall such price be less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Stock Option on the date the Stock Option is granted. The exercise price for Incentive Stock Options shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock at the time the Stock Option is granted, nor less than 110% of such Fair Market Value in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an individual who, at the time the option is granted, is a 10% Holder. The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined in good faith by the Committee, with the approval of the Board, in accordance with the Plan and in accordance with the requirements of Code Sections 409A and 422. Each stock option may not be exercised prior to the expiration of at least one year from the date of grant except in the case of the death or disability of the participant or otherwise with the approval of the Committee or the Board of Directors or, if the option agreement evidencing such Stock Option so provides, upon a "Change of Control". Options shall expire no later than the expiration of ten years (five years in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a 10% Holder) from the date of its grant.
No options have been granted under this plan.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholder of
Lansal, Inc.
Springfield, MA
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Lansal, Inc. and Affiliate (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2012. The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards established by 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 includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes 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 consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
1. | Business, Organization, and Liquidity |
Business and Organization
The Company was incorporated in Massachusetts on January 29, 1999. Lansal, Inc. manufactures and packages natural and organic food products for retail sale, private label, and food service operations. Among these products are salsa, hummus, dips, and sauces. Customers are located throughout the United States, but are primarily in the New England and Illinois areas. Manufacturing facilities are located in Springfield, Massachusetts, and Elk Grove Village, Illinois.
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Principles of Consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and include the Company’s accounts as well as those of a certain variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires that management 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Non-controlling interests
The Company presents non-controlling interests as a component of equity, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling interest will be accounted for as equity transactions, and upon a loss of control, retained ownership interest will be re-measured at fair value, with any gain or loss recognized in earnings.
Income and losses attributable to the non-controlling interests associated with BML Holdings, LLC are presented separately in the Company’s basic financial statements.
Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes revenue when the product’s title and risk of loss transfers to the Company based upon shipping terms. The policy meets the four following criteria (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred; (iii) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s sales policy is to require customers to provide orders with the agreed upon selling prices and shipping terms. The Company evaluates the credit risk of each customer and establishes an allowance of doubtful accounts for any credit risk. Sales returns and allowances are estimated upon shipment and based upon historical experience is nil.

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The Company adopted the provisions of the accounting pronouncement which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances fair value measurement disclosure. Under the provisions of the pronouncement, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use on unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is described below:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs.
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.
The Company’s current financial assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to their short term nature and include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable, mortgage payable, capital leases and line of credit.
Concentrations of Credit Risk:
Cash held in banks: The Company maintains cash balances at a financial institution that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to federally insured limits. At times balances may exceed FDIC insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Accounts Receivable: Customer accounts typically are collected within a short period of time, and based on its assessment of current conditions and its experience collecting such receivables, management believes it has no significant risk related to its concentration within its accounts receivable.
Inventories:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company regularly assesses the shelf-life of inventories and reserve for those inventories when it becomes apparent the product will not be sold or raw materials will not be utilized in the production process within freshness specifications. An allowance for obsolete finished goods or packaging materials was not deemed necessary as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
Equipment and Leasehold Improvements:
Office and manufacturing equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using various straight-line and accelerated methods over the following fixed asset lives:
Computers and Software | 5 years |
Furniture and Fixtures | 7-10 years |
Machinery and Equipment | 7-12 years |
Vehicles | 5-6 years |
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease or the useful life of the asset, whichever is shorter.
Maintenance, repairs, and renewals that do not materially add to the value of the equipment nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred.
When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in the Statements of Operations.
Intangible Assets:
In connection with asset acquisitions, the Company amortizes its trade name using the straight-line method over fifteen years. Additionally, deferred financing costs are amortized are amortized over three to ten years, the life of the related bank loan.
Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes reflects the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, as well as operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current or non-current based on the classification of the related assets or liabilities for financial reporting, or according to the expected reversal dates of the specific temporary differences, if not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting. Valuation allowances are established against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized.
Deferred tax assets 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 or laws is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
Income Tax Uncertainties
The calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on the two-step process prescribed by applicable accounting principles. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step requires the Company to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as this requires the Company to determine the probability of various possible outcomes.
The Company reevaluates these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit, and new audit activity. Such a change in recognition or measurement would result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision in the period. The Company recognizes interest and penalties as incurred in other income (expense), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no liabilities recorded for uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share:
Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including common stock equivalents, such as stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period and excludes the anti-dilutive effects of common stock equivalents.
No dilutive securities were outstanding as of December 31, 2012 and 2011
Risks and Uncertainties:
The Company’s operations are subject to a number of risks, including but not limited to, changes in the general economy, demand for the Company’s products, the success of its customers, research and development results, reliance on commercial markets, litigation, and the renewal of its line of credit.
Long-Lived Assets:
The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future, undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an 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 assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. No impairment losses have been recognized for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Accounts Receivable:
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based on customer payment and current credit worthiness, as determined by review of their current credit information. The Company continuously monitors credit limits for and payments from its customers and maintains provision for estimated credit losses based on its historical experience and any specific customer issues that have been identified. While such credit losses have historically been within the Company’s expectation and the provision established, the Company cannot guarantee that this will continue. An allowance for doubtful accounts was not deemed necessary at December 31, 2012 and 2011.
New Accounting Pronouncements:
No recently issued accounting pronouncements had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. | Variable Interest Entity |
The Company holds a variable interest in BML Holdings, LLC (“BML”). BML is the lessor of the Company's Springfield, MA facility and is owned 100% by the stockholder of Lansal, Inc. The Company and BML have a Cross-Collateralization/Cross-Default/Cross-Guaranty Agreement with their lenders. BML has entered into a Collateral Assignment of Leases and Rents with the lenders. These agreements would become operative at the lenders’ option upon occurrence of a “Default” or an “Event of Default” pursuant to the loan documents. The stockholder has guaranteed the Company and BML notes and mortgages, and has assigned a $750 life insurance policy
The Company has a variable interest in BML obtained in the lessee and lessor relationship, which is impacted by common ownership and the ability to compel payment whether stated or silent in the lease agreement. The Company is deemed to have a controlling financial interest as it has the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity that most significantly impact BML’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of BML that could potentially be significant.
The Company reassesses every reporting period the presentation of BML to conclude if consolidation is required. As such, the conclusion regarding the primary beneficiary status is subject to change and circumstances are continually reevaluated.
The classification and carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of BML in the consolidated balance sheet are as follows for the period ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:

Hot Mama’s Foods was formed as a sole-proprietorship in Amherst, Massachusetts, in 1984 as a maker of a variety of fresh salsa recipes, distributed directly to small local retailers by its owner-operator. In 1991 the company was purchased from its founder by Matthew Morse and maintained as a sole-proprietorship until its incorporation on January 29, 1999 as a C corporation under the name Lansal, Inc.

Customers are located throughout the United States, but our customers distribute our product primarily east of the Mississippi. The Company has manufacturing facilities located in Springfield, Massachusetts, and Elk Grove Village, Illinois.
On July 26, 2013, the Company completed a Merger Agreement with Andover Medical, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 9, 2005 under the name Snow & Sail Sports, Inc. On September 1, 2006; Snow & Sail, Inc. changed its name to Andover Medical, Inc. Upon consummation of the Merger Agreement the Company changed its name to Hot Mama’s Foods, Inc.
The unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of June 30, 2013 gives effect to the merger of Andover Medical, Inc. as if it had occurred as of December 31, 2012.

4. | Explanation of Pro Forma Adjustments |
The following pro forma adjustments are included in the unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet.
a. Effect of reverse stock split.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement described in Note 1 above, Andover effected a 1 for 39 reverse stock split of the outstanding common stock immediately prior to the Merger. All outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Warrants described in Note 3 above give effect to the 1 for 39 reverse stock split on an as converted basis.
For accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as a recapitalization of the Company, the accounting acquirer, because the Company’s shareholders own 91% of Andover’s outstanding common stock following the transaction and exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the consolidated entity. Andover was a non-operating company prior to the acquisition. Thus, the Company acquired Andover and recorded the fair value of the net assets acquired which were the $250 cash held in escrow pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules, the merger or acquisition of a private operating company into a non-operating public company with nominal net assets is considered a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination. The number of shares issued and outstanding, additional paid-in capital and all references to share quantities of Andover in these notes have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the equivalent number of shares issued by Andover in the reverse merger, while the operating company’s historical equity is being carried forward. On the date of the Merger, Andover changed its corporate name to Hot Mama’s Foods, Inc.

b. Share-based Compensation
Upon completion of the merger certain key individuals were granted approximately 1,108 shares of common, 2 shares of preferred stock and 603 warrants. Share-based compensation expense related to the common and preferred stock and warrants was $1,031, net of taxes and such amount is included in the accompanying statements of operations.
Common shares were valued at $1.00, based upon the current market. Preferred stock was valued based upon its conversion into common at 265 to 1 based on the current market price of $1.00 per share of common stock.
We estimated the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes options model using the following assumptions:
a) | Market value per share of $1.00, based upon the market price of the stock. |
b) | Volatility of 52.73% based upon a comparable company since the Company’s stock has no history. |
c) | Risk free interest rate of 1.37%using the U.S. Treasury rate related to 5 year notes. |
d) | The exercise price is as per the agreement. |
e) | The expected life of approximately 5 years is based on the remaining contractual term. |
