Note 12 – Investment in ARMA Energy, Inc.

Over the past few years we have been developing, marketing, and securing proprietary and intellectual property rights to the “ARMA brand” in select markets. The ARMA brand products consisted of “energy-infused” snack products, including kettle cooked potato chips, trail mixes, fruit and nut blends, granola mixes and other products. Sales of ARMA brand products have historically been immaterial to our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

On February 1, 2013 we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with ARMA Energy, Inc. (“AEI” or the “Purchaser”) whereby we received approximately 71% of the preferred stock of the Purchaser in exchange for sales, marketing, services and other expenses already incurred. In addition, on February 1, 2013, we sold all of our proprietary and intellectual property rights to the ARMA brand to the Purchaser in exchange for a secured promissory note in the principal amount of $500 payable over five years. Annual payments of $100 begin December 2013. The fair value of the note received and non-controlling interest retained at the time of sale were not deemed material.

 

The criteria outlined in ASC 810, Consolidation, provides a framework for identifying variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and determining whether an investment in another entity should be subject to consolidation. Upon consideration of this guidance, we determined that the Purchaser is a VIE. Further, we have concluded that power is shared and we are not the primary beneficiary. Shared control of the VIE’s board of directors was the most significant factor in concluding that power was shared. The operating results of the Purchaser are not currently material to our financial position, operating results and cash flows, and we do not provide financial support to the Purchaser.

Based on ASC 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures, we determined we have significant influence over the Purchaser and will account for this investment under the equity method. After recording our proportional share of losses, our investment in this entity is $0 at March 28, 2013.
