Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(September 30, 2012)

(Unaudited)

Note 1: Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations

MusclePharm Corporation (the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “MusclePharm”), was incorporated in the state of Nevada on August 4, 2006, under the name Tone in Twenty, for the purpose of engaging in the business of providing personal fitness training using isometric techniques. The Company is headquartered in Denver, Colorado.

MusclePharm currently manufactures and markets a wide-ranging variety of high-quality sports nutrition products.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as amended for interim financial information.

The financial information as of December 31, 2011 is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2011. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. The interim results for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non-conforming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company operates in an industry that is subject to rapid change and intense competition. The Company’s operations will be subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, regulatory, industry adverse publicity and other risks, including the potential risk of business failure.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less and money market accounts to be cash equivalents. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, the Company had no cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable represents trade obligations from customers that are subject to normal trade collection terms. The accounts receivable are sent directly to the Company’s third party manufacturer and netted with any outstanding liabilities to the manufacturer. Liabilities to the manufacturer totaled $5,484,759 at September 30, 2012 and are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of its accounts receivable and considers the need to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical collection experience and specific customer information. Accordingly, the actual amounts could vary from the recorded allowances. There is also a review of customer discounts at the period end and an accrual made for discounts earned but not yet received by quarter end.

The Company does not charge interest on past due receivables. Receivables are determined to be past due based on the payment terms of the original invoices. Accounts receivable consisted of the following at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

	As of September 30, 2012			As of December 31, 2011
Accounts receivable	$	5,542,797		$	2,766,776
Less: allowance for discounts		(1,391,781	)		-
Less: allowance for doubtful accounts		(113,144	)		(197,684	)
Accounts receivable – net	$	4,037,872		$	2,569,092

At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had the following concentrations of accounts receivable with significant customers:

Customer	As of September 30, 2012			As of December 31, 2011
A		48	%		7	%
B		1	%		36	%
C		2	%		10	%
D		4	%		12	%

Inventory

Inventories are maintained using the average cost method and solely relate to the product in the Canadian facility.

Prepaid Sponsorship Fees

Prepaid sponsorship fees represents fees paid in connection with future advertising to be received.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated to their estimated residual value over their estimated useful lives. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the assets and related accumulated depreciation are relieved from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are included in operating income in the statements of operations. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method for all property and equipment.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as service discontinuance or technological obsolescence, indicate that the carrying amount of the long-lived asset may not be recoverable. When such events occur, the Company compares the carrying amount of the asset to the undiscounted expected future cash flows related to the asset. If the comparison indicates that impairment is present, the amount of the impairment is calculated as the difference between the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset. If a readily determinable market price does not exist, fair value is estimated using discounted expected cash flows attributable to the asset. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded no impairment expense.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements contains a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2: Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

The following are the major categories of liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, using quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

	As of September 30, 2012		As of December 31, 2011

Derivative liabilities (Level 2)	$	24,889	$	7,061,238

The Company’s financial instruments consisted primarily of accounts receivable, prepaids, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, debt and customer deposits. The Company’s debt approximates fair value based upon current borrowing rates available to the Company for debt with similar maturities. The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments generally approximated their fair values as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Revenue Recognition

The Company records revenue when all of the following have occurred: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) product has been shipped or delivered, (3) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

Depending on individual customer agreements, sales are recognized either upon shipment of products to customers or upon delivery. For all of our Canadian sales, which represent 2% of total sales, recognition occurs upon shipment, and for one of our largest domestic customers (See customer “B” below under concentrations), which represents 10% of our total revenue for the nine months ended September, 2012 and 2011, revenue is recognized upon delivery.

The Company has determined that advertising related credits that are granted to customers fall within the guidance of ASC No. 605-50-55 (“Revenue Recognition” – Customer Payments and Incentives – Implementation Guidance and Illustrations). The guidance indicates that, absent evidence of benefit to the vendor, appropriate treatment requires netting these types of payments against revenues and not expensing as advertising expense.

The Company records store support, giveaways, sales allowances and discounts as a direct reduction of sales.

Sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012			2011			2012			2011
Sales	$	20,627,691		$	5,811,685		$	58,799,563		$	13,321,274

Discounts		(2,053,965	)		(1,368,114	)		(8,235,817	)		(2,446,025	)

Sales - Net	$	18,573,726		$	4,443,571		$	50,563,746		$	10,875,249

The Company has an informal seven day right of return for products. There were nominal returns for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company had the following concentrations of revenues with significant customers:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
Customer	2012			2011
A		39	%		39	%
B		10	%		13	%

Licensing Income and Royalty Revenue

On May 5, 2011, the Company granted an exclusive indefinite license to market, manufacture, design and sell the Company’s existing apparel line. The licensee paid an initial fee of $250,000 in June 2011, and will pay the Company a 10% net royalty based on its net income at the end of each fiscal year. To date, no royalty revenue has been earned by the Company.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales represents costs directly related to the production, manufacturing and freight of the Company’s products.

(Unaudited)

Shipping and Handling

Domestic product sold is shipped directly to the customer from our manufacturer. Costs associated to the shipments are recorded in cost of sales. For Canadian sales, the product is shipped from our Canadian warehouse to our customers. Costs associated with the shipments are recorded as shipping.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs when incurred.

Advertising expense for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011

Advertising	$	2,599,691	$	1,272,969	$	6,576,531	$	3,468,202

Beneficial Conversion Feature

For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a “beneficial conversion feature” (“BCF”) and related debt discount.

When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument. The discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

Derivative Liabilities

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company continues its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.

Once derivative liabilities are determined, they are adjusted to reflect fair value at the end of each reporting period. Any increase or decrease in the fair value is recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Once a derivative liability ceases to exist any remaining fair value is reclassified to additional paid in capital.

Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount

The Company may pay debt issue costs, and record debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt. These costs are amortized over the life of the debt to interest expense. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Original Issue Discount

For certain convertible debt issued, the Company provides the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount is recorded to debt discount and additional paid-in capital at an amount not to exceed gross proceeds raised, reducing the face amount of the debt, and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

Share-Based Payments

Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants and restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Share-based compensation awards issued to non- employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable.

Earnings (loss) Per Share

Net earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during each period.

Since the Company reflected a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, the effect of considering any common stock equivalents, if exercisable, would have been anti-dilutive. A separate computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is not presented.

The Company has the following common stock equivalents for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012		2011
Stock options (exercise price - $0.50/share)		1,567,500		2,767,500
Warrants (exercise price $0.012 - $1.50/share)		4,241,667		56,696,327
Convertible debt (exercise price $0.002- $0.02/share)		2,100,000		210,751,119
Total common stock equivalents		7,909,167		270,214,946

In the above table, some of the outstanding instruments from 2012 and 2011 contain ratchet provisions that would cause variability in the exercise price at the balance sheet date. As a result, common stock equivalents could change at each reporting period.

Foreign Currency

MusclePharm began operations in Canada in April of 2012. The Canadian Dollar was determined to be the functional currency as the majority of the transactions related to the day to day operations of the business are exchanged in Canadian Dollars. At the end of the period, the financial results of the Canadian operation are translated into the United States Dollar, which is the reporting currency, and added to the U.S. operations for consolidated company financial results. The revenue and expense items are translated using the average rate for the period and the assets and liabilities at the end of period rate. Transactions that have completed the accounting cycle and resulted in a gain or loss related to translation are recorded in realized gain or loss due to foreign currency translation under other income expense on the income statement. Transactions that have not completed their accounting cycle but appear to have gain or loss due to the translation process are recorded as unrealized gain or loss due to translation and held in the equity section on the balance sheet until such date the accounting cycle of the transaction is complete and the actual realized gain or loss is recognized.

Reclassification

The Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the periods presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 requires reporting entities to disclose additional information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, ASU 2011-04 requires reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures were effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2012

(Unaudited)

Note 3: Going Concern

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $15,927,426 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and a working capital deficit and stockholders’ deficit of $9,114,226 and $7,297,593 respectively, at September 30, 2012. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The Company may need to incur liabilities with certain related parties to sustain the Company’s existence.

The Company will require additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. The Company believes its current available cash along with anticipated revenues will likely be insufficient to meet its cash needs for the near future. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.

In response to these issues, management has taken the following actions:

seeking additional third party debt and/or equity financing,

continuing with the implementation of the business plan, and

allocating sufficient resources to continue with advertising and marketing efforts.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The debt holders are entitled, at their option, to convert all or part of the principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion prices and terms discussed above. The Company classifies embedded conversion features in these notes as a derivative liability due to management’s assessment that the Company may not have sufficient authorized number of shares of common stock required to net-share settle or due to the existence of a ratchet due to an anti-dilution provision. See Note 6 regarding accounting for derivative liabilities.

Note 6: Derivative Liabilities

The Company identified conversion features embedded within convertible debt, warrants and Series A Preferred Stock issued in 2012, 2011 and 2010 (see Notes 5 and 7). The Company has determined that the features associated with the embedded conversion option should be accounted for at fair value as a derivative liability as the Company could not determine if a sufficient number of shares would be available to settle all transactions.

The fair value of the conversion feature is summarized as follows:

Derivative liability - December 31, 2011	$	7,061,238
Fair value at the commitment date for debt instruments		1,096,808
Fair value at the commitment date for warrants issued		7,526,671
Fair value mark to market adjustment for debt instruments		(1,579,279	)
Fair value mark to market adjustment for warrants		(4,321,411	)
Fair value mark to market adjustment for Series A, Preferred Stock issued		(59	)
Reclassification to additional paid-in capital for financial instruments conversions and maturities		(9,759,079	)
Derivative liability – September 30, 2012	$	24,889

The Company recorded the debt discount to the extent of the gross proceeds raised, and expensed immediately the remaining value of the derivative as it exceeded the gross proceeds of the note. The Company recorded a derivative expense of $4,409,214 and $3,576,192 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The fair value at the commitment and re-measurement dates for the Company’s derivative liabilities were based upon the following management assumptions:

	Commitment Date			Re-measurement Date
Expected dividends		0	%		0	%
Expected volatility		228% -251%			263	%
Expected term:		6 months – 4 years			6 months – 5 years
Risk free interest rate		0.09% - 0.72%			0.21% - 0.80%

Note 7: Stockholders’ deficit

The Company has three separate series of authorized preferred stock:

(A) Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

This class of stock has the following provisions:

	·	Non-voting,
	·	No rights to dividends,
	·	No liquidation value, and
	·	Convertible into 200 shares of common stock.

(B) Series B Preferred Stock (Related Parties)

In August 2011, the Company issued an aggregate of 51 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to two of its officers. The Company accounted for the share issuance at par value as there was no future economic value that could be associated with the issuance.

This class of stock has the following provisions:

Voting rights entitling the holders to an aggregate 51% voting control,

No rights to dividends,

Stated value of $0.001 per share,

Liquidation rights entitle the receipt of net assets on a pro-rata basis with the holders of our common stock; and

Non-convertible.

(C) Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

In October 2011, the Company issued 190 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, having a fair value of $190,000. Of the total shares issued, 100 shares were issued for $100,000 ($1,000 /share). The remaining 90 shares were issued for services rendered having a fair value of $90,000 ($1,000/share), based upon the stated value per share. In March 2012, all 190 shares were converted into 19,000,000 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.00001 per share and a loss of $614,984.

This class of stock has the following provisions:

Stated Value - $1,000 per share,

Non-voting,

Liquidation rights entitle an amount equal to the stated value, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends,

As long as any Series C, Convertible Preferred Stock is outstanding, the Company is prohibited from executing various corporate actions without the majority consent of the holders of Series C, Convertible Preferred Stockholders authorization; and

Convertible at the higher of (a) $0.01 or (b) such price that is a 50% discount to market using the average of the low two closing bid prices, five days preceding conversion.

Due to the existence of an option to convert at a variable amount, the Company treated this series of preferred stock as a derivative liability due to the potential for settlement in a variable quantity of shares. Additionally, the Company computed the fair value of the derivative liability at the commitment date and re-measurement date, which was $293 and $175, respectively, using the Black-Scholes assumptions below. This transaction is analogous to a dividend with a direct charge to retained earnings.

The fair value of all stock issuances above is based upon the quoted closing trading price on the date of issuance, except for stock and warrants issued for cash, which is based on the cash received.

The forbearance of agreement terms represents settlement of debt and accrued liabilities and includes a valuation of $918,432 which is reduced by an $135,000 accrual and reduced by $3,932 stock issued to settle contracts for items expensed in the year ended December 31, 2011, but are treated in the current period as a non-cash settlement, which nets to $779,500 as shown in the statement of cash flows as loss on debt.

(E) Stock Options

Exercise price	$	0.50
Expected dividends		0	%
Expected volatility		74.8	%
Risk fee interest rate		1.4	%

Rent expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, was $231,560 and $116,402, respectively.

(B) Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company is or may become involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business or otherwise. Legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties as to timing, outcomes, costs, expenses and time expenditures by the Company’s management and others on behalf of the Company. Although there can be no assurance, based on information currently available the Company’s management believes that the outcome of legal proceedings that are pending or threatened against the Company will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition. However, the outcome of any of these matters is neither probable nor reasonably estimable.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company was a party defendant in the following legal proceedings, each of which the Company: (a) believes is without merit; and (b) intends to defend vigorously:

Environmental Research Center v. MusclePharm LLC, et al., Los Angeles Superior Court, California. Date instituted: February 4, 2011. Plaintiff Environmental Research Center (“ERC”) filed notices of intent to commence litigation against over 200 sports nutrition and dietary supplement companies in the United States and Canada, including the Company. ERC alleges violations of California’s Proposition 65.

William Bossung and Bishop Equity Partners LLC v. MusclePharm Corporation, Clark County, Nevada District Court. Date instituted: January 17, 2012. Plaintiff alleges that additional monetary payments are due in respect of a settlement for outstanding warrants.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company was a party plaintiff in the following legal matters:

MusclePharm Corporation v. Swole Sports Nutrition, LLC, United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. Date instituted: March 15, 2012. The Company filed this action for trademark infringement against after the Defendant started marketing and selling a dietary supplement named “Turbo Shred”. The Company has sold “Shred Matrix” since April 2, 2008, and the mark “MusclePharm Shred Matrix” was granted registration by the USPTO on September 21, 2010.

(C) Payroll Taxes

As of September 30, 2012, accounts payable and accrued expenses included $159,165 pertaining to accrued payroll taxes. The taxes represent employee withholdings that have yet to be remitted to the taxing agencies.

Included in the $159,165 is an amount due prior to the Company becoming a publicly traded company in February 2010, when the Company existed as an LLC, which at that time had accrued payroll taxes/penalties and interest of approximately $53,000.

(D) Product Liability

As a manufacturer of nutritional supplements and other consumer products that are ingested by consumers, the Company may be subject to various product liability claims. Although we have not had any material claims to date, it is possible that current and future product liability claims could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company currently maintains product liability insurance with a deductible/retention of $10,000 per claim with an aggregate cap on retained loss of $5,000,000. At September 30, 2012 the Company had not recorded any accruals for product liabilities.

Note 9: Defined Contribution Plan

The Company established a 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”) for eligible employees of the Company. Generally, all employees of the Company who are at least twenty-one years of age and who have completed one year of entry service are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan. The 401(k) Plan is a defined contribution plan that provides that participants may make voluntary salary deferral contributions, on a pretax basis, of up to $17,000 for 2012 (subject to make-up contributions) in the form of voluntary payroll deductions. The Company may make discretionary contributions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 the Company’s matching contribution was $34,313 and none, respectively.

Note 10: Restricted Cash

A restricted fund was established in compliance with the unsecured debt agreements. The restricted fund at September 30, 2012 has a balance of $74,202. This fund is used to pay principal and interest for some of the unsecured debt agreements which had a principal balance of $3,991,209 out of the total unsecured debt referenced in Note 5 of $4,041,809 as of September 30, 2012. Ten percent of all cash receipts from operations are put into this fund under the terms of the debt agreement.

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

The following is discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Forward-Looking Information

Certain statements contained in this report on Form 10-Q are not statements of historical fact and constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the various provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including, without limitation, the statements specifically identified as forward-looking statements within this report. Many of these statements contain risk factors as well. In addition, certain statements in our future filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in press releases and in oral and written statements made by or with our approval which are not statements of historical fact constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Examples of forward-looking statements, include, but are not limited to: (i) projections of capital expenditures, revenues, income or loss, earnings or loss per share, capital structure, and other financial items, (ii) statements of our plans and objectives or our management or board of directors, (iii) statements of future economic performance and (iv) statements of assumptions underlying such statements. Words such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “targeted,” “may,” “will” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those identified in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do 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 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 report.

Business Overview

We develop, market and sell athlete-focused, high quality nutritional supplements primarily to specialty resellers. Our products have been formulated to enhance active fitness regimens, including muscle building, weight loss and maintaining general fitness. Our nutritional supplements are available for purchase in over 10,000 U.S. retail outlets, including Dick’s Sporting Goods, GNC, Vitamin Shoppe and Vitamin World. We also sell our products to over 100 online channels, including bodybuilding.com, amazon.com, gnc.com and vitacost.com. Internationally, our nutritional supplements are sold in over 110 countries, and we expect that international sales will be a significant part of our sales for the foreseeable future.

We started formulating our nutritional supplements in 2008 for consumption by active individuals, high performance athletes and fitness enthusiasts. We launched our sales and marketing programs in late 2008 through our internal sales executives and staff targeting specialty retail distributors.

Our wide-range variety of nutritional supplements, include Assault™, Combat Powder™, MusclePharm Musclegel^®, MusclePharm Shred Matrix^®, and Re-Con^®. These products are comprised of amino acids, herbs, and proteins tested by our scientists for the overall health of athletes. We developed these nutritional supplements to enhance the effects of workouts, repair muscles, and nourish the body for optimal physical fitness.

Our Growth and Core Marketing Strategy

Our primary growth strategy is to:

increase our product distribution and sales through increased market penetrations both domestically and internationally;

increase our margins by focusing on streamlining our operations and seeking operating efficiencies in all areas of our operations;

continue to conduct additional testing of the safety and efficacy of our products and formulate new products; and

increase awareness of our products by increasing our marketing and branding opportunities through endorsements, sponsorships and brand extensions.

Our core marketing strategy is to brand MusclePharm as the “must have” fitness brand for workout enthusiasts and elite athletes. We seek to be known as the athlete’s company, run by athletes who create their products for other athletes both professional and otherwise. We believe that our marketing mix of endorsers, sponsorships and providing sample products for our retail resellers to use is an optimal strategy to increase sales.

We have experienced significant growth in our product sales. Our net sales for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011 were $3.2 million and $17.2 million, respectively. Our net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012 were $10.9 million and $50.6 million, respectively.

Sales

Sales increased approximately $14.1 million or 318% to $18,573,726 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $4,443,571 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in sales was due primarily to increased awareness of our product brand. Since inception, we have focused on an aggressive marketing plan to penetrate the market. As such, significant promotional expenditures have been made to increase product sales through adding new customers and expanding our product line. We have hired additional sales and marketing staff along with adding new products in an effort to expand our customer base. Another growth area was nutritional product sales in international markets. International sales are included in the results of operations and increased approximately $3.5 million or 502% to $4,149,956 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $689,085 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Overall as a direct result of our aggressive marketing plan, our products are currently being offered in more retail stores, both domestically and internationally, receiving better shelf placement, and receiving recognized awards compared to the prior period. At the 2012 Bodybuilding.com Supplement Awards, we received three Awards of Excellence; we received (i) the “Brand of the Year” award, (ii) the “Packaging of the Year” award, and (iii) the “Pre-Workout Supplement of the Year” award for Assault^TM.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased approximately $3.6 million or 690% for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. Meanwhile, our gross profit percentage increased to approximately 22% during the three months ended September 30, 2012, from 12% for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to the reduction to discounts as a percentage of sales. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 the discounts as a percentage to sales was 10% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011 of 23.5%. We expect to focus on streamlining our operations and seek operating efficiencies in order to further improve our gross profit percentage.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012, increased approximately $4.9 million, or 169%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011. Our 318% increase in sales necessitated substantial increases in our general and administrative expenses to $7,876,778 of such costs for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $2,927,287 for the like period in 2011.

With respect to our increase in advertising and promotions during the 2012 quarter, approximately $145,000 was due to increased trade show costs due to our increased sales activities, approximately $570,000 was due to product discounts at a major bodybuilding event in September 2012 to achieve broader overall show exposure and increase sales volumes, approximately $217,000 was due to greater multi-media advertising expense and approximately $594,000 was due to product sponsorships and athlete endorsements due to our increased level of sales activities. Also, we expect that as we continue to promote our brand and products, sponsorships and athlete endorsements will hold steady or possibly increase slightly if it is beneficial to our brand and product awareness and sales.

Although salaries and benefits increased significantly, they were approximately 6% of net sales for 2012 compared to approximately 12% of net sales in the 2011 period. We are seeking to maintain salaries and benefits at approximately 6% of net sales.

Loss from Operations

Our net loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012, was $3,810,813, compared to $2,412,344 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily attributable to our aggressive plan we implemented to raise additional capital and retire warrants and existing debt which resulted in increased expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011 discussed below.

Other Income (Expenses)

Other expenses were $2,263,224 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the $2,528,653 in other income for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Because almost all of our outstanding warrants were converted into common stock during the third quarter of 2012, we do not expect such significant charges per quarter for interest expenses, changes in fair value of derivate securities or losses on settlement of accounts payable and debt, and the resulting net expenses should be significantly lower. The components of our other income (expenses) are as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2012			2011

Derivative (expense) income	$	(1,922,763	)	$	481,667
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities	$	4,403,875		$	1,547,185
Loss on settlement of accounts payable and debt	$	(1,510,613	)	$	0
Interest (expense) income	$	(3,265,053	)	$	499,801
Other income or expense	$	31,330		$	0
	$	(2,263,224	)	$	2,528,653

Net Loss

For the foregoing reasons, we had a net loss of $6,074,307 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to net income of $116,309 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Inflation did not have a material impact on our operations for the period. Other than the foregoing, management knows of no trends, demands, or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our results of operations.

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 (unaudited):

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012			2011

Sales – net	$	50,563,746		$	10,875,249

Sales

Sales increased approximately $39.4 million or 365% to $50,263,746 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $10,875,249 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in sales was due primarily to increased awareness of our product brand. Since inception, we have focused on an aggressive marketing plan to penetrate the market. As such, significant promotional expenditures have been made to increase product sales by adding new customers and expanding our product line. We have hired additional sales and marketing staff and added new products in an effort to expand our customer base. Another growth area was nutritional product sales in international markets. International sales are included in the results of operations and increased to $17,357,099 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $2,845,879 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of approximately $14.5 million or 510%.

Overall as a direct result of our aggressive marketing plan, our products are currently being offered in more retail stores, both domestically and internationally, receiving better shelf placement, and receiving nationally recognized awards. At the 2012 Bodybuilding.com Supplement Awards, we received three Awards of Excellence; we received (i) the “Brand of the Year” award, (ii) the “Packaging of the Year” award; and (iii) the “Pre-Workout Supplement of the Year” award for Assault^TM.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 of $10,218,218 increased approximately $8.2 million or 403% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $2,032,259 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Meanwhile, the gross profit percentage increased slightly to approximately 20% during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, from 19% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. We expect to focus on streamlining our operations and seeking operating efficiencies in order to further improve our gross profit percentage.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, increased approximately $9.0 million, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in sales had corresponding increases in the general and administrative expenses bringing the total to $16,420,665 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $7,425,596 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

The major increases were the result of: $1,220,636 in investment advisory costs due to two consulting contracts that require us to issue 8.4% of our common stock on an ongoing, fully diluted basis; $1,389,040 in increases of other professional fees due primarily to significant activity required to obtain financings, resolve disputes and restate certain prior period financial statements, as well as increased fees due for overall increased levels of activities and preparing to seek an exchange listing for our common stock; $3,108,329 in increased advertising and promotions due to our increased levels of sales activities, (which included $1,395,025 in increased product sponsorships and athlete endorsement costs); $1,474,055 in increased salaries and benefits expenses due to our overall significantly higher level of sales; and other increases in general administrative expenses of $2,092,482. These other increases in expenses included $514,122 in stock compensation, $235,795 in depreciation, and $225,795 in travel. The total increase in general and administrative costs was offset by decreases in research and development costs of approximately $299,494 and company support of $106,850.

We expect that as we continue to promote our brand and products, sponsorships and athlete endorsements will hold steady or possibly increase slightly if it is beneficial to our brand and product awareness and sales.

Although salaries and benefits increased significantly, they were 6% of net sales for the period compared to 12% of net sales in 2011. We are seeking to maintain salaries and benefits at 6% of net sales.

Loss from Operations

Our loss from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, was $6,202,447, compared to $5,393,337 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease is primarily attributable to our aggressive plan to raise additional capital and retire warrants and existing debt which result in increased expenses that were only partially offset by the resulting increase in sales as a result of such efforts during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Other Expenses

Other expenses were $9,724,979 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the $6,938,899 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Because almost all of our outstanding warrants were converted into common stock during the third quarter of 2012, we do not expect such significant charges per quarter for interest expenses, changes in fair value of derivate securities or losses on settlement of accounts payable and debt, and the resulting net expenses should be significantly lower. The components of our other income (expenses) for the periods indicated are reflected in the table below:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012			2011

Derivative expense	$	(4,409,214	)	$	(3,576,192	)
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities	$	5,900,749		$	2,181,955

Other income or expense	$	48,180		$	-
	$	(9,724,979	)	$	(6,938,899	)

Net Loss

For the foregoing reasons, net loss was $15,927,426, or $(0.01) per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $12,332,236, or $(0.05) per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Inflation did not have a material impact on our operations for the period. Other than the foregoing, management knows of no trends, or demands, that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our results of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes total current assets, liabilities and working capital at September 30, 2012, compared to December 31, 2011.

	September 30, 2012			December 31, 2011			Increase/Decrease
Current Assets	$	5,833,776		$	4,016,833		$	1,816,943
Current Liabilities	$	14,948,002		$	17,710,100		$	(2,762,098	)
Working Capital (Deficit)	$	(9,114,226	)	$	(13,693,267	)	$	(4,579,041	)

Our primary source of operating cash has been through the sale of equity and through the issuance of convertible secured promissory notes and other short-term debt as discussed below.

At September 30, 2012, we had cash of $634,870 and a working capital deficit of approximately $9.1 million, compared to cash of $659,764 and a working capital deficit of approximately $13.7 million at December 31, 2011. The working capital deficit decrease of approximately $4.6 million was primarily due to a net decrease in derivative liabilities of approximately $7.0 million, an increase in accounts receivable of approximately $1.5 million, offset by an increase in customer deposits of approximately $0.9 million, an increase in the current portion of debt of approximately $2.6 million and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of approximately $0.8 million.

Cash provided by operating activities was $286,825 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to cash used in operating activities of $4,075,448 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in cash provided by operating activities of approximately $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was primarily due to an increased payables and customer deposits of approximately $6.1 million, an increase in depreciation and amortization of approximately $3.2 million, a decrease in accounts receivable of approximately $1.8 million and an increase in derivative expense of approximately $0.8 million offset by an increase net loss of approximately $3.6 million and a decrease in derivative liabilities of approximately $3.7 million.

Cash used in investing activities increased to $934,823 from $771,652 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, due to slightly higher spending on fixed assets. Future investments in property and equipment, as well as further development of our Internet presence will largely depend on available capital resources.

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $615,548 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to cash flows provided by financing activities of $4,803,396 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The approximately $4.2 million decrease was due to primarily to the approximately $5.2 million repayments of debt and approximately $0.5 million purchase of treasury stock offset by an increase in proceeds from issuance of debt of approximately $0.3 million and an increase in proceeds from warrant exercises of approximately $1.1 million.

Going Concern

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, we incurred a net loss of $15,927,426 and had net cash provided by operations of $286,825 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and a working capital deficit and stockholders’ deficit of $9,114,226 and $7,297,593 respectively, at September 30, 2012. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our ability to continue our operations is dependent on management's plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, sale of aged debt to third parties in exchange for free trading stock, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund our working capital requirements. We may need to incur liabilities with certain related parties to sustain our existence.

We will require additional funding to finance the growth of our current and expected future operations as well as to achieve our strategic objectives. We believe our current available cash along with anticipated revenues will likely be insufficient to meet our cash needs for the near future. There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or terms acceptable to us, if at all.

In response to these capital issues, management has taken the following actions:

	•	seeking additional third party debt and/or equity financing;

	•	continuing with the implementation of the business plan; and

	•	allocating sufficient resources to continue with advertising and marketing efforts.

We continue to explore potential expansion of products in order to boost sales, while leveraging distribution systems to achieve lower costs. We need to continue to raise capital in order to execute our business plan.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than the operating leases, as of September 30, 2012, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. We are obligated under an operating lease for the rental of office space. Future minimum rental commitments with a remaining term in excess of one year as of September 30, 2012 are as follows:

Years Ending December 31,

2012 (3 months)	$	78,655
2013		357,431
2014		400,946
2015		304,542
Total minimum lease payments	$	1,141,575

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future non-conforming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable represents trade obligations from customers that are subject to normal trade collection terms. We periodically evaluate the collectability of our accounts receivable and considers the need to establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon historical collection experience and specific customer information. Accordingly, the actual amounts could vary from the recorded allowances.

We perform ongoing evaluations of our customers’ financial condition and generally do not require collateral. Management reviews accounts receivable periodically and reduces the carrying amount by a valuation allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of amounts that may not be collectible. Allowances, if any, for uncollectible accounts receivable are determined based upon information available and historical experience.

We do not charge interest on past due receivables. Receivables are determined to be past due based on the payment terms of the original invoices.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We measure assets and liabilities at fair value based on an expected exit price as defined by the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, which represents the amount that would be received on the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability, as the case may be, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value may be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis whereby inputs, used in valuation techniques, are assigned a hierarchical level.

The following are the hierarchical levels of inputs to measure fair value:

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting our assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

Revenue Recognition

We record revenue when all of the following have occurred: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) product has been shipped or delivered, (3) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

Depending on individual customer agreements, sales are recognized either upon shipment of products to customers or upon delivery. We record sales allowances and discounts as a direct reduction of sales.

We have determined that advertising related credits that were granted to customers fell within the guidance of ASC No. 605-50-55 (“Revenue Recognition” – Customer Payments and Incentives – Implementation Guidance and Illustrations). The guidance indicates that, absent evidence of benefit to the vendor, appropriate treatment requires netting these types of payments against revenues and not expensing as advertising expense.

We have an informal seven day right to return products. There were nominal returns at the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Foreign Currency

We began operations in Canada in April 2012. The Canadian Dollar was determined to be the functional currency as the majority of the transactions related to the day to day operations of the business are exchanged in Canadian Dollars. At the end of the period, the financial results of the Canadian operation are translated into the United States Dollar, which is the reporting currency, and added to the U.S. operations for consolidated company financial results. The revenue and expense items are translated using the average rate for the period and the assets and liabilities at the end of period rate. Transactions that have completed the accounting cycle and resulted in a gain or loss related to translation are recorded in realized gain or loss due to foreign currency translation under other income expense on the income statement. Transactions that have not completed their accounting cycle but appear to have gain or loss due to the translation process are recorded as unrealized gain or loss due to translation and held in the equity section on the balance sheet until such date the accounting cycle of a transaction is complete and the actual realized gain or loss is recognized.

Beneficial Conversion Feature

For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, we record a “beneficial conversion feature” (“BCF”) and related debt discount.

When we record a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF would be recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument. The discount would be amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

Derivative Liabilities

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, we use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, we will continue our evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.

Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount

We may pay debt issue costs, and record debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of convertible debt. These costs are amortized over the life of the debt to interest expense. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

Original Issue Discount

For certain convertible debt issued, we provide the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount is recorded to debt discount and additional paid in capital at an amount not to exceed gross proceeds raised, reducing the face amount of the note and is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

Share-Based Payments

Generally, all forms of share-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants, restricted stock grants and stock appreciation rights are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on estimated number of awards that are ultimately expected to vest. Share-based compensation awards issued to non- employees for services rendered are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the share-based payment, whichever is more readily determinable.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not Applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(c) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in report that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
