NOTE 11 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On July 23, 2009 and subject to shareholder approval, the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously approved entry into an asset purchase agreement with Nutra, Inc., a subsidiary of Nutraceutical International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Asset Sale”) to sell substantially all the rights and assets our subsidiary, Nutritional Specialties, Inc. including the Lifetime ® and Baywood brands of products. On July 24, 2009, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement, and submitted to a vote for approval by the Company’s stockholders. On August 6, 2009, a majority of the Company’s stockholders approved the Asset Sale. The Asset Sale closed on October 9, 2009.

Pursuant to the Asset Sale, the Company sold substantially all of the rights and assets of the subsidiary Nutritional Specialties, Inc., including but not limited to accounts, notes and other receivables, inventory, tangible assets, rights existing under assigned purchase orders, proprietary rights, government licenses, customer lists, records, goodwill and assumed contracts. Certain rights and assets were excluded from the purchased assets, including the right to market, sell and distribute beverages. In addition, pursuant to the close of the Asset Sale, certain assets of Nutritional Specialties, Inc. were evaluated at closing to see if they had a minimum net asset value as of the closing date, after giving effect to normal generally accepted accounting principles adjustments for reserves and except for routine reductions related to normal amortization and depreciation, equal to $1,848,604. If the net asset value was greater or less than $1,848,604 at the closing, the purchase price payable at closing would be increased or decreased by the amount of such difference on a dollar-for-dollar basis. At closing, the net asset value was $2,176,411 and therefore the initial purchase price of $8,250,000 was increased by $327,807. Included in this purchase price is a $250,000 hold-back that is being held by Nutra, Inc. No later than six months after the closing date, or April 9, 2010, if Nutra, Inc. determines that there is a material difference between the actual net asset value and the net asset value at closing, it may prepare a written statement setting forth the calculation of the actual net asset value and that amount may be deducted from the hold-back.

In June 2010, the Company, without agreeing to Nutra’s position, agreed to reduce the amount of the hold-back due to the Company by $50,000 to settle a dispute with Nutra regarding the net asset value acquired by Nutra under the Agreement in exchange for an immediate payment of $200,000. The $50,000 reduction in the hold back was reflected as a loss on discontinued operations in the year ended December 31, 2010.

Results of operations from the discontinued business for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

	2011		2010
Sales	$	-	$	-
Operating expenses		-		55,113
