PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights certain information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. Because it is a summary, it may not contain all of the information that is important to you. Before investing in our common stock, you should read this entire prospectus carefully, especially the sections entitled Risk Factors” beginning on page 5 and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” beginning on page 34, as well our financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Overview

MusclePharm Corporation was initially 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 (Tone in Twenty”). Tone in Twenty was never able to raise the level of funding necessary to commence operations. On February 18, 2010, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity and voting interests of Muscle Pharm, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, in exchange for 26,000,000 pre-split shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares were issued pursuant to that certain Securities Exchange Agreement, dated February 1, 2010 (the Securities Exchange Agreement”). As a result of this transaction, Muscle Pharm, LLC became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The 26,000,000 pre-split shares represented approximately 99.7% of the common stock outstanding following the closing of this transaction. As part of this transaction, the Company’s former President sold his 366,662 pre-split shares to Muscle Pharm, LLC for $25,000 and these shares were then cancelled.

As part of the Securities Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to seek shareholder approval of an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation changing the name of the Company to MusclePharm Corporation.” This amendment was approved by a majority of the Company’s shareholders and the name change became effective on March 1, 2010.

MusclePharm currently manufactures and markets wide-ranging variety of high-quality sports nutrition products, including: Assault ^TM , Battle Fuel ^TM , Bullet Proof ^TM , Combat ^TM , SHRED Matrix®, and Re-con®. These products are comprised of amino acids, herb, and proteins scientifically tested and proven as safe and effective for the overall health of athletes.

RISK FACTORS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the other financial information and consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results will depend upon a number of factors beyond our control and could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Some of these factors are discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

Our business and operations are experiencing rapid growth. If we fail to effectively manage our growth, our business and operating results could be harmed.

We have experienced and expect to continue to experience rapid growth in our operations, which has placed, and will continue to place, significant demands on our management, and our operational and financial infrastructure. If we do not effectively manage our growth, we may fail to attain operational efficiencies we are seeking, timely deliver products to our customers in sufficient volume or the quality of our products could suffer, which could negatively affect our operating results. To effectively manage this growth, we expect we will need to hire additional persons, particularly in sales and marketing, and we will need to continue to improve significantly our operational, financial and management controls and our reporting systems and procedures. These additional employees, systems enhancements and improvements will require significant capital expenditures and management resources. Failure to implement these proposed growth objectives would likely hurt our ability to manage our growth and our financial position.

As of April 10, 2013, management has taken over the shipping of most product, other than drop shipments, to our customers from our 152,000 square foot distribution center in Franklin, Tennessee. We have hired a warehouse manager, and relocated two shipping logistic individuals from our Denver, Colorado office to manage shipping. We also hired several local warehouse individuals to manage this process. We believe this efficiency will improve our shipping time and reduce our overall cost of goods sold.

Additionally, the Company has hired six new sales and marketing individuals to continue the expansion and growth of sales. The finance team has added four new staff members and our board of directors appointed a new Chief Financial Officer on July 1, 2012. New controls and procedures have been implemented over sales orders and discounting as well as new financial controls, budgeting processes, daily and monthly monitoring reports along with dashboard reporting for aiding management in making good decisions.

The Company has appointed a five member Board of Directors, three of which are independent by the board. The Company has also appointed an audit committee, and compensation committee. Regular board meetings are held and task lists are reviewed and checked off with members of outside counsel to mitigate issues and promote further improvements around internal controls and reporting which the Company believes is much improved but not yet complete.

Our failure to respond appropriately to competitive challenges, changing consumer preferences and demand for new products could significantly harm our customer relationships and product sales.

The nutritional sports supplement industry is characterized by intense competition for product offerings and rapid and frequent changes in consumer demand. Our failure to predict accurately product trends could negatively impact our products and cause our revenues to decline.

Our success with any particular product offering (whether new or existing) depends upon a number of factors, including our ability to:

	·	deliver products in a timely manner in sufficient volumes;
	·	accurately anticipate customer needs and forecast accurately to our manufacturers in an expanding business;
	·	differentiate our product offerings from those of our competitors;
	·	competitively price our products; and
	·	develop new products.

Products often have to be promoted heavily in stores or in the media to obtain visibility and consumer acceptance. Acquiring distribution for products is difficult and often expensive due to slotting and other promotional charges mandated by retailers. Products can take substantial periods of time to develop consumer awareness, consumer acceptance and sales volume. Accordingly, some products may fail to gain or maintain sufficient sales volume and as a result may have to be discontinued. In a highly competitive marketplace it may be difficult to have retailers open stock-keeping units (sku’s) for new products.

Our management has determined that certain disclosure controls and procedures may be ineffective, even though they have been improved upon, which could result in material misstatements in our financial statements.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. As of December 31, 2012, our management determined that some of our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective due to weaknesses in our financial closing process.

We intend to implement remedial measures designed to address the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, such as hiring several individuals with significant accounting, auditing and financial reporting experience and segregating our internal and external financial reporting among our larger financing and accounting staff, implementing more specific segregation of our accounting software and providing historical information more timely, such as monthly budgeting analysis and cash reporting. We have also adopted and implemented written procedures to document purchase orders, product discounts and product transition flow as well as analysis of our cost of goods sold. If these remedial measures are insufficient to address the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, or if material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control are discovered or occur in the future and the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures continues, we may fail to meet our future reporting obligations on a timely basis, our consolidated financial statements may contain material misstatements, we could be required to restate our prior period financial results, our operating results may be harmed, we may be subject to class action litigation, and if we gain a listing on a stock exchange, our common stock could be delisted from that exchange. Any failure to address the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures could also adversely affect the results of the periodic management evaluations regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures that are required to be included in our annual report on Form 10-K. Internal control deficiencies and ineffective disclosure controls and procedures could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. We can give no assurance that the measures we plan to take in the future will remediate the ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures or that any material weaknesses or restatements of financial results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or adequate disclosure controls and procedures or circumvention of these controls. In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, in the future those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or errors or to facilitate the fair presentation of our consolidated financial statements.

If we fail to comply with the rules under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 related to disclosure controls and procedures, or, if we discover material weaknesses and other deficiencies in our internal control and accounting procedures, our stock price could decline significantly and raising capital could be more difficult.

If we fail to comply with the rules under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 related to disclosure controls and procedures, or, if we discover additional material weaknesses and other deficiencies in our internal control and accounting procedures, our stock price could decline significantly and raising capital could be more difficult. Moreover, effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to helping prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our common stock could drop significantly. In addition, we cannot be certain that additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal controls will not be discovered in the future.

Our industry is highly competitive, and our failure to compete effectively could adversely affect our market share, financial condition and future growth.

The nutritional supplement industry is highly competitive with respect to:

	·	price;
	·	shelf space and store placement;
	·	brand and product recognition;
	·	new product introductions; and
	·	raw materials.

Most of our competitors are larger more established and possess greater financial, personnel, distribution and other resources than we have. We face competition in the health food channel from a limited number of large nationally known manufacturers, private label brands and many smaller manufacturers of dietary supplements.

We rely on a limited number of customers for a substantial portion of our sales, and the loss of or material reduction in purchase volume by any of these customers would adversely affect our sales and operating results.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, two of our customers accounted for approximately 45% of our sales. Our largest customer for the year ended December 31, 2012, accounted for 33% of our sales. For the year ended December 31, 2011, two customers accounted for approximately 55% of our sales and our largest customer represented 41% of our sales. The loss of any of our major customers, a significant reduction in purchases by any major customer, or, any serious financial difficulty of a major customer, could have a material adverse effect on our sales and results of operations.

Adverse publicity or consumer perception of our products and any similar products distributed by others could harm our reputation and adversely affect our sales and revenues.

We believe we are highly dependent upon positive consumer perceptions of the safety and quality of our products as well as similar products distributed by other sports nutrition supplement companies. Consumer perception of sports nutrition supplements and our products in particular can be substantially influenced by scientific research or findings, national media attention and other publicity about product use. Adverse publicity from these sources regarding the safety, quality or efficacy of nutritional supplements and our products could harm our reputation and results of operations. The mere publication of news articles or reports asserting that such products may be harmful or questioning their efficacy could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, regardless of whether such news articles or reports are scientifically supported or whether the claimed harmful effects would be present at the dosages recommended for such products.

We rely on highly skilled personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel, hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow effectively.

Our performance largely depends on the talents and efforts of highly skilled individuals. Our future success depends on our continuing ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate and retain highly skilled personnel for all areas of our organization, particularly sales and marketing. Competition in our industry for qualified employees is intense. In addition, our compensation arrangements, such as our bonus programs, may not always be successful in attracting new employees or retaining and motivating our existing employees. Our continued ability to compete effectively depends on our ability to attract new employees and to retain and motivate our existing employees.

If we are unable to retain key personnel, our ability to manage our business effectively and continue our growth could be negatively impacted.

Our management employees include Brad J. Pyatt, L. Gary Davis, John H. Bluher, Jeremy R. DeLuca and Cory J. Gregory. These key management employees are primarily responsible for our day-to-day operations, and we believe our success depends in large part on our ability to retain them and to continue to attract additional qualified individuals to our management team. Currently, we have executed employment agreements with our key management employees. The loss or limitation of the services of any of our key management employees or the inability to attract additional qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our operating results may fluctuate, which makes our results difficult to predict and could cause our results to fall short of expectations.

Our operating results may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, many of which may be outside of our control. As a result, comparing our operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful, and you should not rely on our past results as an indication of our future performance. Our quarterly, year-to-date, and annual expenses as a percentage of our revenues may differ significantly from our historical or projected rates. Our operating results in future quarters may fall below expectations. Each of the following factors may affect our operating results:

	·	our ability to deliver products in a timely manner in sufficient volumes;
	·	our ability to recognize product trends;
	·	our loss of one or more significant customers;
	·	the introduction of successful new products by our competitors; and
	·	adverse media reports on the use or efficacy of nutritional supplements.

Because our business is changing and evolving, our historical operating results may not be useful to you in predicting our future operating results.

The continuing effects of the most recent global economic crisis may impact our business, operating results, or financial condition.

The global economic crisis that began in 2008 has caused disruptions and extreme volatility in global financial markets and increased rates of default and bankruptcy, and has impacted levels of consumer spending. These macroeconomic developments could negatively affect our business, operating results, and financial condition. For example, if consumer spending decreases, this may result in lower sales.

We may be exposed to material product liability claims, which could increase our costs and adversely affect our reputation and business.

As a marketer and distributor of products designed for human consumption, we could be subject to product liability claims if the use of our products is alleged to have resulted in injury. Our products consist of vitamins, minerals, herbs and other ingredients that are classified as dietary supplements and in most cases are not subject to pre-market regulatory approval in the United States or internationally. Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of these ingredients could occur.

We have not had any product liability claims filed against us, but in the future we may be subject to various product liability claims, including among others that our products had inadequate instructions for use, or inadequate warnings concerning possible side effects and interactions with other substances. The cost of defense can be substantially higher than the cost of settlement even when claims are without merit. The high cost to defend or settle product liability claims could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

Our insurance coverage or third party indemnification rights may not be sufficient to cover our legal claims or other losses that we may incur in the future.

We maintain insurance, including property, general and product liability, and workers’ compensation to protect ourselves against potential loss exposures. In the future, insurance coverage may not be available at adequate levels or on adequate terms to cover potential losses, including on terms that meet our customer’s requirements. If insurance coverage is inadequate or unavailable, we may face claims that exceed coverage limits or that are not covered, which could increase our costs and adversely affect our operating results.

Our intellectual property rights are valuable, and any inability to protect them could reduce the value of our products and brand.

We have invested significant resources to protect our brands and intellectual property rights. However, we may be unable or unwilling to strictly enforce our intellectual property rights, including our trademarks, from infringement. Our failure to enforce our intellectual property rights could diminish the value of our brands and product offerings and harm our business and future growth prospects.

We may be subject to intellectual property rights claims, which are costly to defend, could require us to pay damages and could limit our ability to sell some of our products.

Our industry is characterized by vigorous pursuit and protection of intellectual property rights, which has resulted in protracted and expensive litigation for several companies. Third parties may assert claims of misappropriation of trade secrets or infringement of intellectual property rights against us or against our end customers or partners for which we may be liable.

As our business expands, the number of products and competitors in our markets increases and product overlaps occur, infringement claims may increase in number and significance. Intellectual property lawsuits are subject to inherent uncertainties due to the complexity of the technical issues involved, and we cannot be certain that we would be successful in defending ourselves against intellectual property claims. Further, many potential litigants have the capability to dedicate substantially greater resources than we can to enforce their intellectual property rights and to defend claims that may be brought against them. Furthermore, a successful claimant could secure a judgment that requires us to pay substantial damages or prevents us from distributing products or performing certain services.

An increase in product returns could negatively impact our operating results and profitability.

We permit the return of damaged or defective products and accept limited amounts of product returns in certain instances. While such returns have historically been nominal and within management’s expectations and the provisions established, future return rates may differ from those experienced in the past. Any significant increase in damaged or defective products or expected returns could have a material adverse effect on our operating results for the period or periods in which such returns materialize.

We have no manufacturing capacity and anticipate continued reliance on third-party manufacturers for the development and commercialization of our products.

We do not currently operate manufacturing facilities for production of our products. We lack the resources and the capabilities to manufacture our products on a commercial scale. We do not intend to develop facilities for the manufacture of products in the foreseeable future. We rely on third-party manufacturers to produce bulk products required to meet our sales needs. We plan to continue to rely upon contract manufacturers to manufacture commercial quantities of our products.

Our contract manufacturers’ failure to achieve and maintain high manufacturing standards, in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements, or the incidence of manufacturing errors, could result in consumer injury or death, product shortages, product recalls or withdrawals, delays or failures in product testing or delivery, cost overruns or other problems that could seriously harm our business. Contract manufacturers often encounter difficulties involving production yields, quality control and quality assurance, as well as shortages of qualified personnel. Our existing manufacturers and any future contract manufacturers may not perform as agreed or may not remain in the contract manufacturing business. In the event of a natural disaster, business failure, strike or other difficulty, we may be unable to replace a third-party manufacturer in a timely manner and the production of our products would be interrupted, resulting in delays, additional costs and reduced revenues.

A shortage in the supply of key raw materials could increase our costs or adversely affect our sales and revenues.

All of our raw materials for our products are obtained from third-party suppliers. Since all of the ingredients in our products are commonly used, we have not experienced any shortages or delays in obtaining raw materials. If circumstances changed, shortages could result in materially higher raw material prices or adversely affect our ability to have a product manufactured. Price increases from a supplier would directly affect our profitability if we are not able to pass price increases on to customers. Our inability to obtain adequate supplies of raw materials in a timely manner or a material increase in the price of our raw materials could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Because we are subject to numerous laws and regulations, and we may become involved in litigation from time to time, we could incur substantial judgments, fines, legal fees and other costs.

Our industry is highly regulated. The manufacture, labeling and advertising for our products are regulated by various federal, state and local agencies as well as those of each foreign country to which we distribute. These governmental authorities may commence regulatory or legal proceedings, which could restrict the permissible scope of our product claims or the ability to manufacture and sell our products in the future. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, regulates our products to ensure that the products are not adulterated or misbranded. Failure to comply with FDA requirements may result in, among other things, injunctions, product withdrawals, recalls, product seizures, fines and criminal prosecutions. Our advertising is subject to regulation by the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, under the Federal Trade Commission Act. In recent years the FTC has initiated numerous investigations of dietary supplement and weight loss products and companies. Additionally, some states also permit advertising and labeling laws to be enforced by private attorney generals, who may seek relief for consumers, seek class action certifications, seek class wide damages and product recalls of products sold by us. Any of these types of adverse actions against us by governmental authorities or private litigants could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A member of our management team has been involved in a bankruptcy proceeding and other failed business ventures that may expose us to assertions that we are not able to effectively manage our business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and your investment in our securities.

Our chief executive officer and co-chairman of our board of directors, Brad J. Pyatt, has been involved in a personal bankruptcy and other failed business ventures. This may expose us to assertions by others that our management team may not know how to effectively run a business. To address this risk, our board of directors has devoted significant time and energy to bolstering our management team with individuals who have public company experience and financial expertise, as well as adding independent board members. Notwithstanding these efforts, if our business partners and investors do not have confidence in our management team, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and your investment in our company.

Because certain of our stockholders control a significant number of shares of our common stock, they may have effective control over actions requiring stockholder approval.

As of April 10, 2013, our directors, executive officers, and their respective affiliates, beneficially own approximately 8.1% of our outstanding shares of common stock. Also, two of our executive officers own 51 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock, which has voting control of the Company. As a result, these stockholders, acting together, would have the ability to control the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors and any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. In addition, these stockholders, acting together, would have the ability to control the management and affairs of our company. Accordingly, this concentration of ownership might harm the market price of our common stock by:

	·	delaying, deferring or preventing a change in corporate control;
	·	impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving us; or
	·	discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us.

The conversion reset provision relating to our Series D Preferred Stock could result in difficulty for us to obtain future equity financing.

Because the conversion price reset provisions relating to our Series D Preferred Stock discussed above are so significant and to the potential detriment of common stockholders, it may make it more difficult for us to raise any future equity capital. This potential difficulty should be reviewed in light of our existing levels of little capital and significant working capital deficit. As of the date of issuance of this report approximately 76% of the preferred stock issued in the Series D offering has been converted to common stock, greatly reducing this risk.

We may, in the future, issue additional shares of common stock, which would reduce investors’ percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.

Our articles of incorporation, as amended, authorize the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which (i) 5,000,000 shares have been designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, (ii) 51 shares have been designated as Series B Preferred Stock, (iii) 500 shares have been designated as Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and (iv) 1,600,000 shares have been designated as Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. The articles of incorporation authorize our board of directors to prescribe the series and the voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights of any undesignated shares of our preferred stock. The future issuance of common stock and preferred stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing stockholders. We may value any common stock or preferred stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.

We may issue additional shares of preferred stock in the future that may adversely impact your rights as holders of our common stock.

Our articles of incorporation, as amended, authorize us to issue shares of preferred stock in various series. Currently, we have 51 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, which shares have voting control of the Company. Each share of our Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into 200 shares of our common stock although no shares of this series are outstanding. Each share of our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into two shares of our common stock. In addition, our board of directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of our authorized but undesignated preferred stock, as well as the authority to issue shares of such preferred stock, without further stockholder approval. As a result, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders preferred rights to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividends before dividends are declared to holders of our common stock, and the right to the redemption of such preferred stock, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of the common stock. To the extent that we do issue such additional shares of preferred stock, your rights as holders of common stock could be impaired thereby, including, without limitation, dilution of your ownership interests in us. In addition, shares of preferred stock could be issued with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control or make removal of management more difficult, which may not be in your interest as a holder of common stock.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCBB which may have an unfavorable impact on our stock price and liquidity.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCBB. The OTCBB is a significantly more limited market than the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market. The quotation of our shares on the OTCBB may result in a less liquid market available for existing and potential stockholders to trade shares of our common stock, could depress the trading price of our common stock and could have a long-term adverse impact on our ability to raise capital in the future.

Nevada corporations laws limit the personal liability of corporate directors and officers and require indemnification under certain circumstances.

Section 78.138(7) of the Nevada Revised Statutes provides that, subject to certain very limited statutory exceptions or unless the articles of incorporation provide for greater individual liability, a director or officer of a Nevada corporation is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer, unless it is proven that the act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer and such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. We have not included in our articles of incorporation any provision intended to provide for greater liability as contemplated by this statutory provision.

In addition, Section 78.7502(3) of the Nevada Revised Statutes provides that to the extent a director or officer of a Nevada corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of certain actions, suits or proceedings (which may include certain stockholder derivative actions), the corporation shall indemnify such director or officer against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such director or officer in connection therewith.

Future financings through debt securities and preferred stock may restrict our operations.

If additional funds are raised through a credit facility or the issuance of debt securities or preferred stock, lenders under the credit facility or holders of these debt securities or preferred stock would likely have rights that are senior to the rights of holders of our common stock, and any credit facility or additional securities could contain covenants that would restrict our operations.

Our common stock price may be volatile and could fluctuate widely in price, which could result in substantial losses for investors.

The market price of our common stock has historically been and is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

	·	new products and services by us or our competitors;

	·	additions or departures of key personnel;

	·	intellectual property disputes;

	·	sales of our common stock;

	·	our ability to integrate operations, technology, products and services;

	·	our ability to execute our business plan;

	·	operating results below expectations;

	·	loss of any strategic relationship;

	·	industry developments;

	·	economic and other external factors; and

	·	period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.

If our common stock becomes subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules, broker-dealers may experience difficulty in completing customer transactions and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected.

Unless our securities are listed on a national securities exchange, or we have net tangible assets of $5.0 million or more and our common stock has a market price per share of $5.00 or more, transactions in our common stock will be subject to the SEC’s “penny stock” rules. If our common stock remains subject to the “penny stock” rules promulgated under the Exchange Act, broker-dealers may find it difficult to effectuate customer transactions and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected.

Under these rules, broker-dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than institutional accredited investors must:

	·	make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser;

	·	receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to sale;

	·	provide the purchaser with risk disclosure documents which identify certain risks associated with investing in “penny stocks” and which describe the market for these “penny stocks” as well as a purchaser’s legal remedies; and

	·	obtain a signed and dated acknowledgment from the purchaser demonstrating that the purchaser has actually received the required risk disclosure document before a transaction in a “penny stock” can be completed.

As a result, if our common stock becomes or remains subject to the penny stock rules, the market price of our securities may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell shares of our common stock after conversion of shares of Series D Preferred Stock.

We have not paid dividends on our common stock in the past and do not expect to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.

No cash dividends have been paid on our common stock. We expect that any income received from operations will be devoted to our future operations and growth. We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the near future. Payment of dividends would depend upon our profitability at the time, cash available for those dividends, and other factors as our board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on an investor’s investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates. Investors in our common stock should not rely on an investment in our company if they require dividend income.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they change their recommendations regarding our stock adversely, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by industry or financial analysts. If no or few analysts commence coverage of us, the trading price of our stock would likely decrease. Even if we do obtain analyst coverage, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

A sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline and may impair our ability to raise capital in the future.

Our common stock is traded on the OTCBB and, despite certain increases of trading volume from time to time, there have been periods when it could be considered “thinly-traded”, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common stock at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. Finance transactions resulting in a large amount of newly issued shares that become readily tradable, or other events that cause current stockholders to sell shares, could place downward pressure on the trading price of our stock. In addition, the lack of a robust resale market may require a stockholder who desires to sell a large number of shares of common stock to sell the shares in increments over time to mitigate any adverse impact of the sales on the market price of our stock.

If our stockholders sell, or the market perceives that our stockholders intend to sell for various reasons, including the ending of restrictions on resale of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, including shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options, the market price of our common stock could fall. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate. We may become involved in securities class action litigation that could divert management’s attention and harm our business.

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering and may experience additional dilution in the future.

You will incur immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering. After giving effect to the conversion of up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock underlying Series D Preferred stock offered in this offering at an assumed effective conversion price of $4.23 per share of common stock, and after deducting the placement agents’ fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, investors in this offering can expect an immediate dilution of $3.50 per share. In addition, in the past, we issued options and warrants to acquire shares of common stock. To the extent these options are ultimately exercised, you will sustain future dilution. We may also acquire or license other technologies or finance strategic alliances by issuing equity, which may result in additional dilution to our stockholders.

The reverse stock split may decrease the liquidity of the shares of our common stock.

The liquidity of the shares of our common stock may be affected adversely by the recently effected 1-for-850 reverse stock split given the reduced number of shares outstanding following the reverse stock split, especially if the market price of our common stock does not increase as a result of the reverse stock split. In addition, the reverse stock split may have increased the number of stockholders who own odd lots (less than 100 shares) of our common stock, creating the potential for such stockholders to experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares and greater difficulty effecting such sales.

Following the reverse stock split, the resulting market price of our common stock may not attract new investors, including institutional investors, and may not satisfy the investing requirements of those investors. Consequently, the trading liquidity of our common stock may not improve.

Although we believe that a higher market price of our common stock may help generate greater or broader investor interest, there can be no assurance that the recently effected 1-for-850 reverse stock split will result in a share price that will attract new investors, including institutional investors. In addition, there can be no assurance that the market price of our common stock will satisfy the investing requirements of those investors. As a result, the trading liquidity of our common stock may not necessarily improve.

There is no public market for the offered securities other than our common stock.

Our common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board and is not listed on any securities exchange. We have not registered any series of our currently issued and outstanding preferred stock for trading in the public securities markets and do not intend to do so. There is no established public trading market for any securities that we may offer and sell under this prospectus other than our common stock. Without an active market, the liquidity of the securities other than our common stock will be limited.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by the Selling Security Holders. All of the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock will go to the Selling Security Holders as described below in the sections entitled Selling Security Holders” and Plan of Distribution”. We may, however, receive proceeds in the event that some or all of the warrants held by a selling stockholder are exercised for cash. There can be no assurance that any of the Selling Security Holders will exercise their warrants or that we will receive any proceeds therefrom. We intend to use any net proceeds received for working capital or general corporate needs.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

Our common stock currently trades on the OTCBB under the symbol MSLP.OB”. The offering price of the Consultant Warrants is $10.20, based upon the price at which the warrants or rights may be exercised pursuant to Rule 457(g)(1) of the Securities Act. The offering price of the Investor Warrants is $8.50, based upon the price at which the warrants or rights may be exercised pursuant to Rule 457(g)(1) of the Securities Act. The proposed offering price of the shares of common stock is $8.50 and was estimated solely for the purpose of computing the amount of the registration fee in accordance with Rule 457(c) of the Securities Act of 1933, on the basis of the closing bid price of common stock of the Company as reported on the OTCBB on April 10, 2012. The Selling Security Holders may sell shares in any manner at the current market price.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Selling Security Holders and any of its respective pledges, donees, assignees and other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of our common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. The Selling Security Holders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

privately negotiated transactions;

broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Security Holders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

through the writing of options on the shares;

a combination of any such methods of sale; and

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Security Holders or their respective pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may also sell the shares directly to market makers acting as principals and/or broker-dealers acting as agents for themselves or their customers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Security Holders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market makers and block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their own account and at their own risk. It is possible that a Selling Security Holder will attempt to sell shares of Common Stock in block transactions to market makers or other purchasers at a price per share which may be below the then market price. The Selling Security Holders cannot assure that all or any of the shares offered in this prospectus will be issued to, or sold by, the Selling Security Holders. In addition, the Selling Security Holders and any brokers, dealers or agents, upon effecting the sale of any of the shares offered in this prospectus are underwriters” as that term is defined under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or the rules and regulations under such acts. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by a Selling Security Holder. The Selling Security Holders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act.

The Selling Security Holders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or any other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of Selling Security Holders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as a Selling Security Holder under this prospectus.

The Selling Security Holders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus and may sell the shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of Selling Security Holders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as a Selling Security Holder under this prospectus.

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares of common stock. Otherwise, all discounts, commissions or fees incurred in connection with the sale of our common stock offered hereby will be paid by the Selling Security Holders.

The Selling Security Holders acquired the securities offered hereby in the ordinary course of business and have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares of common stock, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with a proposed sale of shares of common stock by any Selling Security Holder. We will file a supplement to this prospectus if a Selling Security Holder enters into a material arrangement with a broker-dealer for sale of common stock being registered. If the Selling Security Holders use this prospectus for any sale of the shares of common stock, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

Pursuant to a requirement by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, the maximum commission or discount to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker/dealer may not be greater than eight percent (8%) of the gross proceeds received by us for the sale of any securities being registered pursuant to SEC Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, may apply to sales of our common stock and activities of the Selling Security Holders. The Selling Security Holders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale.

We will pay all expenses incident to the registration, offering and sale of the shares of our common stock to the public hereunder other than commissions, fees and discounts of underwriters, brokers, dealers and agents. If any of these other expenses exists, we expect the Selling Security Holders to pay these expenses. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Security Holders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We estimate that the expenses of the offering to be borne by us will be approximately $30,000. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of any of the shares of our common stock by the Selling Security Holders.

The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, may apply to sales of our common stock and activities of the Selling Security Holders. The Selling Security Holders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale.

We will pay all expenses incident to the registration, offering and sale of the shares of our common stock to the public hereunder other than commissions, fees and discounts of underwriters, brokers, dealers and agents. If any of these other expenses exists, we expect Southridge to pay these expenses. We have agreed to indemnify Southridge and its controlling persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We estimate that the expenses of the offering to be borne by us will be approximately $30,000. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of any of the shares of our common stock by Southridge. We may, however, receive proceeds from the sale of our common stock under the Equity Purchase Agreement.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

General

MusclePharm Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“MusclePharm”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) 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. On February 18, 2010, Tone in Twenty acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity and voting interests of Muscle Pharm, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, in exchange for 30,589 shares of its common stock. As a result of this transaction, Muscle Pharm, LLC became a wholly owned subsidiary of Tone in Twenty, and Tone in Twenty changed its name to “MusclePharm Corporation.” Our principal executive offices are located at 4721 Ironton Street, Building A, Denver, Colorado 80239 and our telephone number is (303) 396-6100.

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 10,500 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 approximately 90 countries, and we expect that international sales will be a significant portion 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.

We supply our nutritional supplements to elite athletes on teams in the National Football League, Major League Baseball and the National Basketball Association, as well as Ultimate Fighting Championship fighters. While these endorsers and professional sports teams use our products, no endorsement by any of them as to the merits of our securities should be inferred.

Our products were created through our six-stage process using the expertise of distinguished nutritional scientists we have retained and they are typically field tested using a pool of several elite athletes on various teams in the National Football League, Major League Baseball and National Basketball Association, as well as Ultimate Fighting Championship fighters. We do not directly manufacturer or ship our products to most of our customers. Rather, we outsource our manufacturing to non-affiliated third parties who fulfill our orders and ship products directly to our customers.

We have recently experienced significant growth in our product sales. Our net sales for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were $67.1 million and $17.2 million, respectively. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2012, we commenced operations in Ontario, Canada, through our subsidiary Canada MusclePharm Enterprises Corp.

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 .

Our headquarters in Denver, Colorado has a state-of-the-art over 30,300 square feet athletic facility with a medical and clinical testing department, complete with equipment for measuring and conducting athletic clinical studies and supporting athletes. Our medical and clinical professionals consist of several nationally recognized medical doctors and nutritional experts who oversee our product research, formulation, efficacy analysis and testing.

Recent Developments

Reverse Stock Split and Increase in Number of Authorized Shares of Common Stock

On November 26, 2012, we (i) effected a 1-for-850 reverse stock split of our common stock, including a proportionate reduction in the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 2.36 billion shares to 2.8 million shares of common stock, and (ii) amended our articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock (post reverse stock split) from 2,941,177 to 100 million effective November 27, 2012. All share and per share amounts in this document have been changed to give effect to the reverse stock split.

Conversion of Warrants into Common Stock

In late September 2012, we issued 512,675 shares of our common stock to several accredited investors pursuant to conversions of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 723,747 shares of our common stock. As a result of these warrant conversions and other extinguishments of derivative liabilities during the quarter ended September 30, 2012, our stockholders’ deficit decreased from $11,013,113 at June 30, 2012 to $7,297,593 at September 30, 2012 and our derivative liabilities decreased from $7,908,960 at June 30, 2012 to $24,889 at September 30, 2012. On December 5, 2012, we converted a warrant exercisable for 4,902 shares of common stock into 3,677 shares of our common stock. Thereafter, our derivative liability was reduced to approximately $300 as of December 5, 2012.

Registered Direct Offerings

On February 4, 2013, we completed the final closing of our registered direct offering of an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, at a public offering price of $8.00 per share pursuant to an offering registered with the SEC. Each share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into two shares of common stock, subject to adjustment. Our net proceeds from the offering were approximately $10.8 million after placement agent discounts, and other offering expenses of $1.2 million. Net proceeds from this offering were used to reduce indebtedness and for other corporate purposes.

As of April 10, 2013, 1,178,000 Series D shares have been converted into 2,356,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and 322,000 shares of Series D preferred stock remain outstanding.

Private Placement of Common Stock

On March 26, 2013, the Company entered into subscription agreements with non-affiliated accredited investors for the issuance of 703,326 shares of common stock pursuant to exemptions from registration under federal and state securities laws. The shares of common stock were sold for $8.50 per share. The gross proceeds to the Company of $6.0 million were reduced by commissions and issuance costs of $115,000.

Our Growth 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

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 Athletes 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.

Sponsorships and Promotions

Since 2011, we have been the official supplement provider and sponsor of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, or UFC. Our sponsorship includes prominent logo placement on the fighting mat, and our branding can be seen on FOX Television Stations, FX Networks, FUEL TV and Pay-Per-View television worldwide. The UFC fighters we sponsor feature our brand on their uniforms and we also extensively advertise at the UFC events.

We are also currently engaged in various in-store promotions, including point-of-purchase stands, aisle displays in retail outlets, as well as sample demonstrations in Dick’s Sporting Goods, GNC, Vitamin World and Vitamin Shoppe.

In 2011, we launched an advanced website in seeking to tap into the social networking world and to further our brand and consumer awareness. The information in our website is not part of this report. We have included our website address as a factual reference and do not intend it to be an active link to our website. Also, we currently have over 617,000 fans combined between our company and executive officer Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Industry Overview

We operate within the large and growing U.S. nutritional supplements industry. According to Nutrition Business Journal’s 2012 Supplement Business Report, our industry generated over $30 billion in sales in 2011 and $28.1 billion in 2010, and is projected to grow at an average annual rate of approximately 6.0% through 2020.

According to Nutrition Business Journal, sports nutrition products represented approximately 12% of the total sales in the U.S. nutritional supplements industry in 2011, and the category is expected to grow at a 9.1% compound annual growth rate (or CAGR) from 2012 to 2020, representing the fastest growing product category in the nutritional supplements industry.

We believe there are several key demographic, healthcare and lifestyle trends driving the continued growth of our industry. These trends include:

Increasing awareness of nutritional supplements across major age and lifestyle segments of the U.S. population. We believe that awareness of the benefits of nutritional supplements is growing among active, younger populations, providing the foundation for our future consumer base. In addition, the average age of the U.S. population is increasing and data from the United States Census Bureau indicates that the number of Americans age 65 or older is expected to increase by approximately 36% from 2010 to 2020. We believe that these consumers are likely to increasingly use nutritional supplements and generally have higher levels of disposable income to pursue healthier lifestyles.

Increased focus on fitness and healthy living. We believe that consumers are trying to lead more active lifestyles and become increasingly focused on healthy living, nutritional and supplemental. According to the Nutrition Business Journal’s 2012 Supplement Business Report, 20% of the U.S. adult population (or 47 million people) were regular or heavy users of vitamins in 2011. We believe that growth in our industry will continue to be driven by consumers who increasingly embrace health and wellness as an important part of their lifestyles.

Participants in our industry include specialty retailers, supermarkets, drugstores, mass merchants, multi-level marketing organizations, online retailers, mail-order companies and a variety of other small participants. The nutritional supplements sold through these channels are divided into four major product categories: vitamins, minerals and health supplements; sports nutrition products; diet products; and other wellness products. Most supermarkets, drugstores and mass merchants have narrow nutrition supplement product offerings limited primarily to simple vitamins and herbs, with less knowledgeable sales associates than specialty retailers.

Our Products

We currently offer 28 athlete-focused, high quality nutritional supplement products. None of our products are formulated to contain substances that have been the subject of publicized health concerns by the medical community such as ephedra, androstene, androstenedione, aspartame, steroids or human growth hormones. Our products are comprised of vitamins, minerals, herbs and herbal extracts, carbohydrates, proteins and amino acids tested by our recognized scientists, and intended to be safe and effective for the overall health of athletes. Moreover, our nutritional supplements are intended to enhance the effects of workouts, support muscle recovery and strength, and nourish the human body for optimal physical fitness.

MusclePharm Apparel

We granted an exclusive indefinite license to market, manufacture, design and sell our existing apparel line. The licensee paid an initial fee of $250,000 in June, 2011 and will pay us a 10% net royalty based on the licensee’s net income at the end of each fiscal year. As of December 31, 2012, we had not earned any royalty revenue under this licensing arrangement.

Quality in Our Products

In seeking quality in our products, we require that before a product is brought to market, all:

supplements are supported with publicly available scientific research and references;

our manufacturers carry applicable manufacturing licenses;

ingredients are combined so that their effectiveness is not impaired;

ingredients are in dosage levels that fall within tolerable upper intake levels established for healthy people by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies;

products do not contain any substances banned by major sporting organizations such as the World Anti-Doping Agent, or WADA, NFL or MLB, or adulterated ingredients such as ephedra, androstenedione, aspartame, steroids or human growth hormones;

formulations have a minimum two-year shelf life; and

tablets, capsules and soft gels are designed to readily dissolve in the body to facilitate absorption.

Future Products

New products are derived from a number of sources, including our management, trade publications, scientific and health journals, consultants and distributors. Prior to introducing new products, we investigate product formulations as they relate to regulatory compliance and other issues.

Research and Development

Each of our products is the end result of a six stage process involving recognized nutrition scientists, doctors and professional athletes. Our expenses for research and development for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, were approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Management Information, Internet and Telecommunication Systems

The ability to efficiently manage distribution, compensation, inventory control, and communication functions through the use of sophisticated and dependable information processing systems is critical to our success.

We continue to invest in applications and integrations to improve and optimize business processes and to increase performance company wide.

Product Returns

We provide an informal seven day right of return for our products. Historically, product returns as a percentage of our net sales have been nominal.

Trademarks and Patents

We regard our trademarks and other proprietary rights as valuable assets and believe that protecting our key trademarks is crucial to our business strategy of building strong brand name recognition. These trademarks are crucial elements of our business, and have significant value in the marketing of our products.

Our policy is to pursue registrations for all of the trademarks associated with our products. Federally registered trademarks have a perpetual life, provided that they are maintained and renewed on a timely basis and used correctly as trademarks, subject to the rights of third parties to attempt to cancel a trademark if priority is claimed or there is confusion of usage. We rely on common law trademark rights to protect our unregistered trademarks. Common law trademark rights generally are limited to the geographic area in which the trademark is actually used, while a United States federal registration of a trademark enables the registrant to stop the unauthorized use of the trademark by any third party anywhere in the United States. Furthermore, the protection available, if any, in foreign jurisdictions may not be as extensive as the protection available to us in the United States.

Although we seek to ensure that we do not infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert intellectual property infringement claims against us.

We have obtained U.S. registration on trademarks for eight of our products with USPTO applications pending on several of our newest products. We have abandoned or not pursued efforts to register marks identifying other items in our product line for various reasons including the inability of some names to qualify for registration. We also received federal trademark registration for 14 names or expressions that we use or intend to use to distinguish ourselves from others, with several USPTO applications pending. All trademark registrations are protected for an initial period of five years and then are renewable after five years if still in use and every 10 years thereafter.

We have filed for a provisional patent to protect technology used in certain of our products, including MusclePharm Musclegel® and Re-Con®. The patent was filed in the United States as a Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) application to secure patent protection worldwide. An International Search Report (ISR)/Written Opinion was issued in October 2012, and was published at the International Bureau on February 28, 2013.

We also have filed for protection of various marks throughout the world and are committed to a significant long-term strategy to build and protect the MusclePharm brand globally. The “MusclePharm” mark is pending registration in 14 countries. The mark has been granted final trademark registration in six countries, and we believe the remaining registrations will be granted within the next several months.

The “MP” logo has been filed and registration granted in one country. The application for protection of the logo is expected to be filed in the near future in 26 additional countries. Going forward, we expect to seek trademark registration for our best-selling international products.

Competition

We compete with many companies engaged in selling nutritional supplements. The sports nutrition business is highly competitive. Most of our competitors have significantly more financial and human resources than we do, and have operating histories longer than ours. We seek to differentiate our products and marketing from our competitors based on our product quality, the use of sports celebrity endorsers and through our marketing program. Competition is based primarily on quality and assortment of products, marketing support, and availability of new products. Currently, our main competitors are three private companies: Optimum Nutrition, Inc., or Optimum, Iovate Health Sciences, Inc., or IHS, and Bio-Engineered Supplements and Nutrition, Inc., or BSN. Optimum is a wholly owned subsidiary of Glanbia Nutritionals, Inc., an international nutritional ingredients group. Optimum owns and operates two brands of nutritional supplements (Optimum Nutrition and American Body Building), providing a line of products across multiple categories. IHS is a nutritional supplement company that delivers a range of products to the nutritional marketplace. Headquartered in Oakville, Ontario, Canada, IHS’s line of products can be found in major retail stores and include such brands as Hydroxy-Cut™, Cell-Tech™, Six Star Nutrition™. BSN is also a sports nutrition leader whose top products include No-Explode™ and Syntha Six Protein™.

The retail market for nutritional supplements is characterized by a few dominant national companies, including GNC, Vitamin World, Vitamin Shoppe, and Great Earth Vitamin Stores. Others have a presence within local markets, such as Vitamin Cottage in Denver, Colorado. Four companies dominate the online channel—bodybuilding.com, vitamins.com (owned by Puritan’s Pride), GNC.com and vitaminshoppe.com, the latter two having retail sales locations as well.

Major competitors in the sports nutrition and weight-loss markets consist of companies such as EAS, Inc., Weider Nutrition International, Inc. and Twinlab Corporation, which dominate the market with such products as Myoplex (EAS), Body Shaper (Weider) and Ripped Fuel (Twinlab).

We also compete with a number of large direct selling firms selling nutritional, diet, health, personal care and environmental products, and numerous small competitors. The principal direct selling competitors are Amway Corporation, Nature’s Bounty, Inc., Sunrider Corporation, New Vision USA, Inc., Herbalife International of America, Inc., USANA, Inc., and Melaleuca, Inc.

We intend to compete by aggressively marketing our brand, emphasizing our relationships with professional athletes, and maximizing our relationships with those athletes, retail outlets and industry publications that align with our vision.

Our Manufacturers

We are committed to producing and selling highly efficacious products that are trusted for their quality and safety. To date, our products have been outsourced to a third party manufacturer where the products are manufactured in full compliance with the current good manufacturing practice, or cGMP, standards set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA.

We use four non-affiliated principal manufacturers for the components of our products, and multiple vendors for packaging and labeling. We have an agreement in place with our primary manufacturer. This agreement was designed to support our growth and ensure consistence in production and quality. Our primary manufacturer purchases all needed raw materials from suppliers. Additionally, our primary manufacturer is responsible for acquisition and storage of all product inventory (at both on and off-site facilities). We do not take title to our products until time of shipment to retailers. The three non-primary manufacturers are governed by purchase order terms and can be terminated at any time.

Our relationship with any of our manufactures may be terminated upon proper notice. We have established relationships with other manufacturers that we believe can satisfy our needs if our relationship with any manufacturer terminates.

Product Delivery

All of our products shipped out of the United States are shipped by our manufacturers directly to our retailers. Our manufacturers collect sales tax on products based upon the address of the consumer to whom products are sent regardless of how the order is placed. Products sold by MuscleCharm Canada are shipped from our inventory held in Canada. We collect sales tax on products when applicable.

Regulatory Matters

Government Regulation and Statutes – Product Regulation

Domestic

The manufacture, packaging, labeling, advertising, promotion, distribution and sale of our products are subject to regulation by one or more federal agencies, including the FDA, Consumer Product Safety Commission, or CPSC, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, or USDA. Advertising and other forms of promotion and methods of marketing are subject to regulation primarily by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, which regulates these activities under the Federal Trade Commission Act, or FTCA. The foregoing matters regarding our products are also regulated by various state and local agencies as well as those of each foreign country to which we distribute our products.

The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, or DSHEA, amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FFDC Act, to establish a new framework governing the composition, safety, labeling, manufacturing and marketing of dietary supplements. All of the products we market are regulated as dietary supplements under the FFDC Act.

Generally, under the FFDC Act, dietary ingredients that were marketed in the United States prior to October 15, 1994 may be used in dietary supplements without notifying the FDA. “New” dietary ingredients (i.e., dietary ingredients that were “not marketed in the United States before October 15, 1994”) must be the subject of a new dietary ingredient notification submitted to the FDA unless the ingredient has been “present in the food supply as an article used for food” without being “chemically altered”. A new dietary ingredient notification must provide the FDA with evidence of a “history of use or other evidence of safety” establishing that use of the dietary ingredient “will reasonably be expected to be safe”. A new dietary ingredient notification must be submitted to the FDA at least 75 days before it is initially marketed. The FDA may determine that a new dietary ingredient notification does not provide an adequate basis to conclude that the ingredient is reasonably expected to be safe. Such a determination could prevent the marketing of the dietary ingredient. The FDA recently issued draft guidance governing the notification for new dietary ingredients. Although FDA guidance is not mandatory, and companies are free to use an alternative approach if the approach satisfies the requirements of applicable laws and regulations, FDA guidance is a strong indication of the FDA’s “current thinking” on the topic discussed in the guidance, including its position on enforcement. At this time, it is difficult to determine whether the draft guidance, if finalized, would have a material impact on our operations. However, if the FDA were to enforce the applicable statutes and regulations in accordance with the draft guidance as written, this manner of enforcement could require us to incur additional expenses, which could be significant, and negatively impact our business in several ways, including, but not limited to, enjoining the manufacturing of our products until the FDA determines that we are in compliance and can resume manufacturing, which could increase our liability and reduce our growth prospects.

The Dietary Supplement Labeling Act of 2011, which was introduced in July 2011 (S1310), would amend the FFDC Act to, among other things, (i) require dietary supplement manufacturers to register the dietary supplements that they manufacture with the FDA (and provide a list of the ingredients in and copies of the labels and labeling of the supplements), (ii) mandate the FDA and the Institute of Medicine (a non-governmental, nonprofit organization that provides advice to the public and decision makers, such as the FDA, concerning health issues) to identify dietary ingredients that cause potentially serious adverse effects, (iii) require warning statements for dietary supplements containing potentially unsafe ingredients and (iv) require that the FDA define the term “conventional food”. If the bill is reintroduced and enacted, it could restrict the number of dietary supplements available for sale, increase our costs, liabilities and potential penalties associated with manufacturing and selling dietary supplements, and reduce our growth prospects.

The Dietary Supplement Safety Act (S3002) was introduced in February 2010 and would repeal the provision of DSHEA that permits the sale of all dietary ingredients sold in dietary supplements marketed in the United States prior to October 15, 1994, and instead permit the sale of only those dietary ingredients included on a list of Accepted Dietary Ingredients to be issued and maintained by the FDA. The bill also would allow the FDA to: impose a fine of twice the gross profits earned by a distributor on sales of any dietary supplement found to violate the law; require a distributor to submit a yearly report on all non-serious adverse event reports received during the year to the FDA; and allow the FDA to recall any dietary supplement it determines with “a reasonable probability” would cause serious adverse health consequences or is adulterated or misbranded. The bill also would require any dietary supplement distributor to register with the FDA and submit a list of the ingredients in and copies of the labels of its dietary supplements to the FDA and thereafter update such disclosures yearly and submit any new dietary supplement product labels to the FDA before marketing any dietary supplement product. If this bill is reintroduced and enacted, it could severely restrict the number of dietary supplements available for sale and increase our costs and potential penalties associated with selling dietary supplements.

The FDA or other agencies could take actions against products or product ingredients that in its determination present an unreasonable health risk to consumers that would make it illegal for us to sell such products. In addition, the FDA could issue consumer warnings with respect to the products or ingredients in such products at the point they are sold to end users. Such actions or warnings could be based on information received through FFDC Act-mandated reporting of serious adverse events. The FDA in recent years has applied these procedures to require that consumers be warned to stop using certain dietary supplements. For businesses that have been subjected to these regulatory actions, sales have been reduced and the businesses have been required to pay refunds for recalled products.

In general, we seek representations and warranties, indemnification and/or insurance from our vendors. However, even with adequate insurance and indemnification, any claims of non-compliance could significantly damage our reputation and consumer confidence in our products. In addition, the failure of such products to comply with applicable regulatory and legislative requirements could prevent us from marketing the products or require us to recall or remove such products from the market, which in certain cases could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Under the current provisions of the FFDC Act, there are four categories of claims that pertain to the regulation of dietary supplements. First are health claims that describe the relationship between a nutrient or dietary ingredient and a disease or health related condition and can be made on the labeling of dietary supplements if supported by significant scientific agreement and authorized by the FDA in advance via notice and comment rulemaking. Second are nutrient content claims which describe the nutritional value of the product and may be made if defined by the FDA through notice and comment rulemaking and if one serving of the product meets the definition. Third are statements of nutritional support or product performance. The FFDC Act permits “statements of nutritional support” to be included in labeling for dietary supplements without FDA pre-market approval. These statements must be submitted to the FDA within 30 days of marketing and may describe how a particular dietary ingredient affects the structure, function or general well-being of the body, or the mechanism of action by which a dietary ingredient may affect body structure, function or well-being, but may not expressly or implicitly represent that a dietary supplement will diagnose, cure, mitigate, treat or prevent a disease. A company that uses a statement of nutritional support in labeling must possess scientific evidence substantiating that the statement is truthful and not misleading. The fourth category are drug claims, representations that a product is intended to diagnose, mitigate, treat, cure or prevent a disease, are prohibited from use in the labeling of dietary supplements, and we make no drug claims regarding our products.

We may make claims for our dietary supplement products regarding three of the four categories, that are statements of nutritional support, health claims and nutrient content claims when authorized by the FDA, or that otherwise are allowed by law. The FDA’s interpretation of what constitutes an acceptable statement of nutritional support may change in the future, thereby requiring that we revise our labeling. These regulatory activities include those discussed above concerning products marketed before October 15, 1994 or afterwards, and the requirements of 75 days advance notice to the FDA before marketing products containing new dietary ingredients. There is no assurance that the FDA will accept the evidence of safety for any new dietary ingredients that we may wish to market, and the FDA’s refusal to accept that evidence could prevent the marketing of the new dietary ingredients and dietary supplements containing a new dietary ingredient. If the FDA determines that a particular statement of nutritional support is an unacceptable drug claim, conventional food claim or an unauthorized version of a “health claim”, or, if the FDA determines that a particular claim is not adequately supported by existing scientific data or is false or misleading, we would be prevented from using the claim.

In addition, DSHEA provides that so-called “third-party literature”, e.g., a reprint of a peer-reviewed scientific publication linking a particular dietary ingredient with health benefits, may be used “in connection with the sale of a dietary supplement to consumers” without the literature being subject to regulation as labeling. The literature: (1) must not be false or misleading; (2) may not “promote” a particular manufacturer or brand of dietary supplement; (3) must present a balanced view of the available scientific information on the subject matter; (4) if displayed in an establishment, must be physically separate from the dietary supplements; and (5) should not have appended to it any information by sticker or any other method. If the literature fails to satisfy each of these requirements, we may be prevented from disseminating such literature with our products, and any dissemination could subject our product to regulatory action as an illegal drug.

Our dietary supplements must also comply with the Dietary Supplement and Nonprescription Drug Consumer Protection Act, which became effective on December 22, 2007. This law amends the FFDC Act to mandate that we report to the FDA any reports of serious adverse events that we receive. Under the law, an “adverse event” is any health-related event associated with the use of a dietary supplement that is adverse, and a “serious adverse event” is any adverse event that results in death, a life-threatening experience, inpatient hospitalization, a persistent or significant disability or incapacity, or a congenital anomaly or birth defect, or requires, based on reasonable medical judgment, a medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of these outcomes. Serious adverse event reports received through the address or phone number on the label of a dietary supplement, as well as all follow-up reports of new medical information received within one year after the initial report, must be submitted to the FDA no later than 15 business days after the report is received. The law also requires recordkeeping for reports of non-serious adverse events as well as serious adverse events for six years following the event, and these records are subject to FDA inspection.

In June 2007, pursuant to the authority granted by the FFDC Act as amended by DSHEA, the FDA published detailed current good manufacturing practice, or cGMP, regulations that govern the manufacturing, packaging, labeling and holding operations of dietary supplement manufacturers. The cGMP regulations, among other things, impose significant recordkeeping requirements on manufacturers. The cGMP requirements are in effect for all manufacturers, and the FDA is conducting inspections of dietary supplement manufacturers pursuant to these requirements. There remains considerable uncertainty with respect to the FDA’s interpretation of the regulations and their actual implementation in manufacturing facilities. The failure of a manufacturing facility to comply with the cGMP regulations renders products manufactured in such facility “adulterated”, and subjects such products and the manufacturer to a variety of potential FDA enforcement actions.

The FDA has also announced its intention to promulgate new cGMPs specific to dietary supplements, to fully enforce DSHEA and monitor compliance with the Bioterrorism Act of 2002. We intend to comply with the new cGMPs once they are adopted. The new cGMPs, predicted to be finalized shortly, would be more detailed and stringent than the cGMPs that currently apply to dietary supplements and may, among other things, require dietary supplements to be prepared, packaged, produced and held in compliance with regulations similar to the cGMP regulations for drugs. There can be no assurance that, if the FDA adopts cGMP regulations for dietary supplements, we will be able to comply with the new regulations without incurring a substantial expense.

In addition, under the Food Safety Modernization Act, or FSMA, which was enacted on January 4, 2011, the manufacturing of dietary ingredients contained in dietary supplements will be subject to similar or even more burdensome manufacturing requirements, which will likely increase the costs of dietary ingredients and will subject suppliers of such ingredients to more rigorous inspections and enforcement. The FSMA will also require importers of food, including dietary supplements and dietary ingredients, to conduct verification activities to ensure that the food they might import meets applicable domestic requirements.

The FDA has broad authority to enforce the provisions of federal law applicable to dietary supplements, including powers to issue a public warning or notice of violation letter to a company, publicize information about illegal products, detain products intended for import, require the reporting of serious adverse events, require a recall of illegal or unsafe products from the market, and request the Department of Justice to initiate a seizure action, an injunction action or a criminal prosecution in the U.S. courts. The FSMA expands the reach and regulatory powers of the FDA with respect to the production and importation of food, including dietary supplements. The expanded reach and regulatory powers include the FDA’s ability to order mandatory recalls, administratively detain domestic products, require certification of compliance with domestic requirements for imported foods associated with safety issues and administratively revoke manufacturing facility registrations, effectively enjoining manufacturing of dietary ingredients and dietary supplements without judicial process. The regulation of dietary supplements may increase or become more restrictive in the future.

Our failure to comply with applicable FDA regulatory requirements could result in, among other things, injunctions, product withdrawals, recalls, product seizures, fines and criminal prosecutions.

Our advertising of dietary supplement products is subject to regulation by the FTC under the FTCA. Section 5 of the FTCA empowers the FTC to prohibit unfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce. Section 12 of the FTCA provides that the dissemination of any false advertisement for the purpose of inducing, directly or indirectly, the purchase of drugs or foods, which would include dietary supplements, is an unfair or deceptive act or practice. Additionally, under the FTC’s Substantiation Doctrine, an advertiser is required to have a “reasonable basis” for all objective product claims before the claims are made. Failure to adequately substantiate claims may also be considered an unfair or deceptive practice. Pursuant to this FTC requirement, we are required to have adequate substantiation for all material advertising claims made for our products.

On November 18, 1998, the FTC issued “Dietary Supplements: An Advertising Guide for Industry.” This guide provides marketers of dietary supplements with guidelines for applying FTC law to dietary supplement advertising and reiterates and explains the FTC’s “reasonable basis” determination. It includes examples of the principles that should be used when interpreting and substantiating dietary supplement advertising. Although the guide provides additional explanation, it does not substantively change the FTC’s existing policy that all supplement marketers have an obligation to ensure that claims are presented truthfully and to verify that such claims are adequately substantiated.

The FTC has a variety of processes and remedies available to it for enforcement, both administratively and judicially, including compulsory process, cease and desist orders and injunctions. FTC enforcement can result in orders requiring, among other things, limits on advertising, corrective advertising, consumer redress, divestiture of assets, rescission of contracts and such other relief as may be deemed necessary. Any violation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As a result of our efforts to comply with applicable statutes and regulations in the United States and elsewhere, we have from time to time reformulated, eliminated or relabeled certain of our products and revised certain advertising claims. We cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative orders, when and if promulgated, would have on our business in the future. They could, however, require the reformulation of certain products to meet new standards, the recall or discontinuance of certain products not capable of reformulation, additional record keeping, expanded documentation of the properties of certain products, expanded or different labeling, and/or scientific substantiation. Any or all of such requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Advertising and labeling for dietary supplements and conventional foods are also regulated by state, county and other local governmental authorities. Some states also permit these laws to be enforced by private attorney generals. These private attorney generals may seek relief for consumers, seek class action certifications, seek class-wide damages, seek class-wide refunds and product recalls of products sold by us. There can be no assurance that state and local authorities will not commence regulatory action, which could restrict the permissible scope of our product advertising claims, or products that can be sold in the future.

Foreign

Our products which we sell or may make plans to sell in foreign countries are also subject to regulation under various national, local and international laws that include provisions governing, among other things, the formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, advertising and distribution of dietary supplements and over-the-counter drugs. These regulations may prevent or delay entry into the market or prevent or delay the introduction, or require the reformulation, of certain of our products. Compliance with such foreign governmental regulations is generally the responsibility of our distributors for those countries. These distributors are independent contractors over whom we have limited control.

Possible New Legislation or Regulation

Legislation may be introduced which, if passed, would impose substantial new regulatory requirements on dietary supplements. For example, although not yet reintroduced in this session of Congress, bills have been repeatedly proposed in past sessions of Congress which would subject the dietary ingredient dehydroepiandrosterone, or DHEA, to the requirements of the Controlled Substances Act, which would prevent the sale of products containing DHEA. In March 2009, the General Accounting Office, or GAO, issued a report that made four recommendations to enhance the FDA’s oversight of dietary supplements. The GAO recommended that the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services direct the Commissioner of the FDA to: (1) request authority to require dietary supplement companies to identify themselves as a dietary supplement company and update this information annually, provide a list of all dietary supplement products they sell and a copy of the labels and update this information annually, and report all adverse events related to dietary supplements, not just serious adverse events; (2) issue guidance to clarify when an ingredient is considered a new dietary ingredient, the evidence needed to document the safety of new dietary ingredients, and appropriate methods for establishing ingredient identity; (3) provide guidance to industry to clarify when products should be marketed as either dietary supplements or conventional foods formulated with added dietary ingredients; and (4) coordinate with stakeholder groups involved in consumer outreach to identify additional mechanisms for educating consumers about the safety, efficacy, and labeling of dietary supplements, implement these mechanisms, and assess their effectiveness. These recommendations could lead to increased regulation by the FDA or future legislation concerning dietary supplements.

We cannot determine what effect additional domestic or international governmental legislation, regulations, or administrative orders, when and if promulgated, would have on our business in the future. New legislation or regulations may require the reformulation of certain products to meet new standards, require the recall or discontinuance of certain products not capable of reformulation, impose additional record keeping or require expanded documentation of the properties of certain products, expanded or different labeling or scientific substantiation.

Employees

We believe that our success will depend significantly on our ability to identify, attract, and retain capable employees. As of March 29, 2013, we had 47 full time employees. Our employees are not represented by any collective bargaining unit, and we believe our relations with our employees are good. We have recently completed staffing for the in-house medical and physiology center on-site in our training facilities.

Insurance

We maintain commercial liability, including product liability coverage, and property insurance. Our policy provides for a general liability of $1.0 million per occurrence, and $2.0 million annual aggregate coverage which includes our main corporate facility. We carry property coverage on our main office facility to cover our legal liability, tenant’s improvements, business property, and inventory. We maintain product liability insurance with an aggregate cap on retained loss of $5.0 million.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Except as set forth below, we are currently not involved in any new litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Except as set forth below, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our Company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

In April 2010, the Company entered into a factoring agreement and sold its accounts receivable. During 2010, the Company was subject legal proceedings with the factor, as a result of the Company’s customers not remitting funds directly to the factor. At December 31, 2010, the Company no longer factored its accounts receivable.

A settlement, of $96,783, was reached. During 2010, the Company repaid $25,000, leaving a balance of $71,783 due to factor. In 2011, the Company paid $10,000.

On February 28, 2011, the remaining $65,930, inclusive of fees and interest, was settled with the issuance of 2,574 shares of common stock, having a fair value of $131,206 ($51.00/share), based upon the quoted closing trading price. The Company recorded a loss on settlement of accounts payable $65,330.

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.

The Company was party to the following legal matters as of December 31, 2011:

	·	Plaintiff alleged the Company use of Creatine Nitrate in product infringed on a patent held by the Plaintiff. The Company settled this claim in 2012 for a nominal amount.
	·	Plaintiff alleges the Company’s use of the tagline "Train like an unchained beast" infringes on their mark "Beast" for dietary supplements. The Company settled this claim in 2012 for no consideration and agreed to modify its tagline.
	·	Plaintiff had filed notices of intent to commence litigation on over 200 sports nutrition and dietary supplement companies in the US and Canada, including the Company. Plaintiff alleged violations of California's Proposition 65. The Company considers this case without merit and merely an attempt by a commercial plaintiff to pressure settlements. The Company had recorded an accrual in the amount of $121,500 as of December 31, 2011 and subsequently settled this claim for $52,000 in 2012.
	·	Beginning in October 2009, the Company engaged in various business dealings regarding the manufacturing, sale and distribution of products with Fit Foods Manufacturing, Ltd. and Fit Foods Distribution, Inc. jointly, "Fit Foods"). MusclePharm and Fit Foods subsequently became involved in a business dispute regarding their respective obligations and filed claims against each other in District Court. The Parties settled their dispute on December 22, 2010. The Company issued 16,456 shares of common stock having a fair value of $676,980 ($41.14/share), based upon the quoted closing trading price which settled outstanding accounts payable of $333,666, resulting in a loss on settlement of $343,314 All settlement payments have been made and the case was dismissed on July 1, 2011.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company is a party defendant in the following legal proceeding, which the Company: (a) believes is without merit; and (b) intends to defend vigorously:

	·	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.
	·	The Tawnsaura Group, LLC v MusclePharm Corporation, Case No: 8:12-cv-01476-JVS-RNB in the United States District Court for the Central District of California . Date instituted: September 12, 2012. Plaintiff alleges patent infringement for MusclePharm's use of Citrulline Malate in its products. To date, Plainitiff has filed against over 70 different manufacturers of dietary supplements and sports nutrition products. MusclePharm is part of a joint defense group and believes this case is without merit due to the existence of prior art.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company is a party plaintiff in the following legal matter:

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 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.

PENNY STOCK RULES

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).

A purchaser is purchasing penny stock, which limits the ability to sell the stock. The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stock under the Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stocks for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his/her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.

The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document, which:

Contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stock in both public offerings and secondary trading;

Contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act;

Contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid” and ask” price for the penny stock and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;

Contains a toll-free number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;

Defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and

Contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation.

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer:

The bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;

The compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;

The number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and

Monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgement of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling their securities.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Prospectus and other reports filed by our Company from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively the Filings”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, our management as well as estimates and assumptions made by our management.

Such statements reflect our current view with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including those set forth in the Risk Factors on page 5. 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 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 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 report. All share amounts and per share amounts in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” reflect the 1-for-850 reverse stock split of our common stock that we effected on November 26, 2012.

We develop, market and sell athlete-focused, high quality nutritional supplements primarily to specialty resellers. Our propriety and award winning products address active lifestyles including muscle building, weight loss, and maintaining general fitness through a daily nutritional supplement regimen. Our products are available in over 10,500 U.S. retail outlets, including Dick’s Sporting Goods, GNC, Vitamin Shoppe and Vitamin World. We also sell our products in over 100 online channels, including bodybuilding.com, amazon.com, gnc.com and vitacost.com. Internationally, our nutritional supplements are sold in approximately 90 countries, and we expect that international sales will be a significant part of our sales for the foreseeable future.

Our primary growth strategy is to:

(1)

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

Revenues

Our net revenues increased 290% to approximately $67.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to approximately $17.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Sales during the year ended December 31, 2012 increased due to increased awareness of our product brand. We have focused on an aggressive marketing plan to penetrate the market, as such, significant expenditures related to advertising and promotions have been experienced. The sales increase was also the result of capital spent on marketing and brand recognition with distributors along with endorsements and sponsorships. The Company’s many efforts for growth included hiring new managers, additional sales and marketing staff, along with adding new products in an effort to continue to expand our customer base. Another growth area was sales in the international markets. International sales are included in the results of operations and increased approximately $16.2 million or 405% to $20.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 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. The Company has an exclusive marketing arrangement with the UFC, Ultimate Fighting Championships, which has called out MusclePharm as the Supplement of Choice for the UFC and at the 2012 Bodybuilding.com Supplement Awards, we received three Awards of Excellence; (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 for the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $14.3 million or 21% of revenue, compared to approximately $2.4 million or 14% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase was primarily due to the reduction to discounts as a percentage of sales and favorable terms for manufacturing improvements in product pricing. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the discounts and allowances as a percentage of sales was 14% compared to the year ended December 31, 2011 which was 19%. We expect our focus on streamlining operations will increase our operating efficiencies and will further improve our gross profit percentage.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased to $23.1 million, compared to $18.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Our 290% sales growth necessitated substantial increases in our general and administrative expenses and included $2.2 million in advertising and promotions and $2.4 million in sponsorship and endorsements all used to promote brand and product awareness. We expect as we continue to promote our brand and products, these areas and levels of promotion will hold steady or increase relative to overall efforts to increase product awareness and sales. Salaries and benefits, excluding executive bonuses, also increased by $1.3 million; however, these were approximately 5% of sales for 2012 compared to approximately 11% of sales in the 2011 period.

Increases in investment advisory and legal fees of $3.1 million were a result of efforts required to obtain financing and dispute resolutions along with two consulting contracts that require us to issue 8.4% of our common stock on an ongoing, fully diluted basis.

The increase in all other general administrative areas of $4.3 million along with significant items listed above, were partially offset by the decrease in stock based compensation of approximately $8.6 million.

The following table provides an overview of expense categories and percentage of net revenue:

	2012 ($)		% of Revenue			2011 ($)		% of Revenue
Advertising Expense	$	8,430,401		12.6	%	$	5,241,585		30.5	%

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $7.3 million, as compared to approximately $3.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase in interest expense primarily relates to increased interest on debt of $0.6 million, increased amortization of debt issuance costs of $0.1 million and increased amortization of debt discounts of $2.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2012.

Other Expense

Other expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 were approximately $10.2 million, compared to approximately $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of 44.7%. The components of our other expense are as follows:

Net Loss

Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $19 million, or $(13.00) per share, compared to the net loss of approximately $23.3 million or $(70.30) per share, for the year ended December 31, 2011. Inflation did not have a material impact on our operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes total current assets, liabilities and working deficit at December 31, 2012, compared to December 31, 2011:

	At December 31, 2012			At December 31, 2011			Increase/(Decrease)

Current Assets	$	4,949,881		$	4,016,833		$	933,048
Current Liabilities		16,520,456			17,710,100			(1,189,644	)
Working Deficit	$	(11,570,575	)	$	(13,693,267	)	$	(2,122,692	)

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

Company’s management believes that with increased sales expansion and the opening of the Franklin, Tennessee distribution center, there will be opportunities to increase sales; however, the Company may need to continue to raise capital in order execute the business plan, which includes buying more inventory and broadening the sales platform. There can be no assurance that such capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all.

On December 4, 2012, we entered into a $1.0 million bridge loan to provide us with short-term financing. In connection with the bridge loan, we entered into a subscription agreement with six subscribers pursuant to which we issued an aggregate $1.0 million principal amount of promissory notes and 50,000 shares of common stock to the subscribers. The promissory notes were repaid in January 2013. Additionally, we granted the subscribers “piggy-back” registration rights for the shares of common stock in certain circumstances.

At December 31, 2012, we had cash of $0 and a working capital deficit of approximately $11.6 million, compared to cash of approximately $0.7 million and a working capital deficit of approximately $13.7 million at December 31, 2011. The working capital deficit decrease of approximately $2.1 million was primarily due to a net decrease in derivative liabilities of approximately $7.0 million, an increase in accounts receivable of approximately $.7 million, offset by an increase in customer deposits of approximately $0.3 million, an increase in the current portion of debt of approximately $3.2 million and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of approximately $2.4million.

Cash used in operating activities was approximately $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared to cash used in operating activities of approximately $5.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in cash used in operating activities of approximately $5.1 million was primarily due to a decrease in net loss of approximately $4.3 million, an increased payables and customer deposits of approximately $4.3 million, an increase in depreciation and amortization of approximately $0.3 million, a decrease in accounts receivable of approximately $1.5 million and an increase in amortization expense of approximately $2.3 offset by a decrease in stock and warrants issued for services of approximately $3.4 million, a decrease in losses related to repayments and conversions of debt of approximately $0.6 million, a decrease in derivative expense and fair value changes of approximately $1.1 million and a increases in prepaids, inventory, and other assets of approximately $1.2 million.

Cash used in investing activities increased to $965,327 from $831,511 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, 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 approximately $1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, compared to cash flows provided by financing activities of approximately $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The approximately $6.2 million decrease was due to primarily to the approximately $5.8 million in repayment of debt and approximately $0.5 million for the purchase of treasury stock offset by an increase in proceeds from issuance of debt of approximately $0.8 million offset by an increase in proceeds from issuance of common stock and warrants of approximately $0.7 million.

	Year Ended December 31,
	2012			2011
Cash Flows From Financing Activities:
Proceeds from issuance of debt	$	5,823,950		$	6,612,900

Cash overdraft		69,370			-
Net Cash (Used In) Provided By Financing Activities	$	1,011,077		$	7,249,332

Financing

Our primary source of operating cash had been through the sale of equity and debt which included the issuance of secured and unsecured promissory notes, some debt had conversion rights to equity and a recent bridge loan in the fourth quarter of 2012.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company filed a Form S-1 registration statement whereby the Company offered preferred stock for $8.00 that was convertible into two shares of common stock, subject to adjustment. This registration was not fully completed until February 4, 2013; whereby, the Company issued 1.5 million shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock in exchange for gross proceeds of $12 million. The Company’s net proceeds from the offering were approximately $10.8 million after placement agent discounts, and other offering expenses of $1.2 million.

Company management believes that with increased sales expansion and the opening of the Franklin, Tennessee distribution center, there will be opportunities to increase sales; however, the Company may need to continue to raise capital in order execute the business plan, which includes buying more inventory and broadening the sales platform. There can be no assurance that such capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Other than the operating leases detailed below, as of December 31, 2012, the company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. The Company is obligated under an operating lease for the rental of office space and a 152,000 square foot distribution center in Franklin, Tennessee. Future minimum rental commitments with a remaining term in excess of one year as of December 31, 2012 are summarized as follows:

Years Ending December 31,
2013	$	333,902
2014		436,688
2015		311,209
Total minimum lease payments	$	1,081,799

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles 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 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.

Risks and Uncertainties

The company operates in an industry that is subject to rapid change and intense competition. Our company operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, regulatory and other risks, including the potential risk of business failure.

Principles of Consolidation

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable represents trade obligations from customers that are subject to normal trade collection terms. The company evaluates monthly 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.

Management performs ongoing evaluations of the company’s customers’ financial condition and generally do not require collateral. Some international customers are required to pay for their orders in advance of shipment. Management reviews accounts receivable monthly 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.

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. The Company’s finance department contacts all past due customers to request payment.

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 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 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.

The following are the major categories of liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and 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 December 31,
	2012		2011

Derivative liabilities (Level 2)	$	-	$	7,061,238

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 years ended December 31, 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 statements of operations and comprehensive income. 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) 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 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. This pronouncement has been implemented in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 without impact.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING

AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

On September 14, 2012, following a competitive process undertaken by our audit committee in accordance with its charter, the audit committee approved the appointment of EKS&H LLLP, effective September 14, 2012, as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. On September 14, 2012, EKS&H LLLP accepted the engagement.

During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, and the subsequent interim period prior to the engagement of EKS&H LLLP, the Company did not consult EKS&H LLLP regarding (1) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, (2) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our financial statements, or (3) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement” (as such term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a “reportable event” with Berman & Company, P.A. (as such term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

On September 18, 2012, our audit committee approved the dismissal of Berman & Company, P.A. as our independent registered public accounting firm.

Berman & Company, P.A.’s report on the financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle, except that the report contained a modification to the effect that there was substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and through September 18, 2012, there were no “disagreements” (as such term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) with Berman & Company, P.A. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Berman & Company, P.A., would have caused it to make reference thereto in their reports on the consolidated financial statements for such years.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011 and through September 18, 2012, there were no “reportable events” (as such term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

In addition, the officers will be eligible to receive one or more annual cash bonuses and grants of stock options, restricted stock or other equity-related awards from the Company’s various equity compensation plans, as determined by the Compensation Committee.

If the employment of an officer is terminated due to the officer’s death or inability to perform, the employment agreements provide for payment to the officer of any unpaid portion of the Officer’s base salary and benefits accrued through the date of death or inability to perform and, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, a bonus. The officer or his representatives will also be entitled to receive a reimbursement of up to 12 months of Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act, or COBRA, premiums, if the officer or his representatives timely elect and remain eligible for COBRA. If the officer’s employment is terminated due to inability to perform, the officer will also be entitled to (i) a lump sum payment equal to the greater of (A) the target bonus payable to the Officer for the year in which the date of termination occurs or if no target bonus has been set, the officer’s most recent annual bonus, and (B) a bonus for such year as may be determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion; and (ii) a severance payment (payable over six months) equal to six months of the officer’s base salary in effect as of the date of termination.

If the officer’s employment is terminated for “cause” or if an Officer terminates his employment without “good reason” (as such terms are defined in the employment agreement), the officer will not be entitled to a severance payment or any other termination benefits. However, the Company will pay the officer any unpaid portion of the officer’s base salary and benefits accrued through the date of such termination.

Upon a termination of an officer’s employment (except for Mr. Pyatt) by the Company without cause and without a change in control or by the officer for good reason without a change in control, the employment agreements provide that such officer will be entitled to (i) any unpaid portion of the officer’s base salary and benefits accrued through the date of termination; (ii) an amount payable over three months and equal to the lesser of (A) nine months of the officer’s base salary in effect as of the date of termination, or (B) the officer’s base salary remaining under the term of his employment agreement; (iii) a lump sum payment equal to 25% of the officer’s target bonus (or if no target bonus has been set, the Officer’s most recent annual bonus) if the termination is between January 1 and June 30 or 50% of the Officer’s target bonus (or if no target bonus has been set, the Officer’s most recent annual bonus) if the termination is between July 1 and December 31; (iv) acceleration of the officer’s outstanding equity awards, unless otherwise provided in the equity award agreement for a particular equity award; and (v) the officer will also be entitled to receive a reimbursement of up to 12 months of COBRA premiums, if the officer timely elects and remains eligible for COBRA.

Upon a termination of Mr. Pyatt’s employment by the Company without cause and without a change in control or by Mr. Pyatt for good reason without a change in control, Mr. Pyatt’s employment agreement provides that he will be entitled to (i) any unpaid portion of his base salary and benefits accrued through the date of termination; (ii) an amount payable over three months and equal to two times his base salary on the date of termination; (iii) a lump sum payment equal to the greater of (A) two times his target bonus for the for the year in which the date of termination occurs or if no target bonus has been set, then two times Mr. Pyatt’s most recent annual bonus, and (B) a bonus for such year as may be determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion; (iv) acceleration of his outstanding equity awards, unless otherwise provided in the equity award agreement for a particular equity award; and (v) he will also be entitled to receive a reimbursement of up to 12 months of COBRA premiums, if he timely elects and remains eligible for COBRA.

Upon a termination of an officer’s employment (except for Mr. Pyatt) by the Company without cause and with a change in control or by the officer for good reason after a change in control, the employment agreement provides that such officer will be entitled to (i) any unpaid portion of the officer’s base salary and benefits accrued through the date of termination; (ii) a severance payment (payable over 12 months) equal to 12 months of the officer’s base salary in effect as of the date of termination; (iii) a lump sum payment equal to the greater of (A) 100% of the officer’s target bonus in the year of termination or if no target bonus has been set, then 100% of the officer’s most recent annual bonus, and (B) a bonus for such year as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; (iv) a severance payment of $500,000 (payable within 30 days of the date of termination); (v) acceleration of the officer’s outstanding equity awards; and (vi) the officer will also be entitled to receive a reimbursement of up to 12 months of COBRA premiums, if the officer timely elects and remains eligible for COBRA.

Upon a termination of Mr. Pyatt’s employment by the Company without cause and with a change in control or by Mr. Pyatt for good reason after a change in control, Mr. Pyatt’s employment agreement provides that he will be entitled to (i) any unpaid portion of his base salary and benefits accrued through the date of termination; (ii) a severance payment (payable over 12 months) equal to three times his base salary in effect as of the date of termination; (iii) a severance payment of $2 million (payable within 30 days of the date of termination); (v) acceleration of Mr. Pyatt’s outstanding equity awards; and (vi) he will also be entitled to receive a reimbursement of up to 12 months of COBRA premiums, if he timely elects and remains eligible for COBRA.

The employment agreements also contain customary confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation provisions. Under the non-compete provisions, during the term of his employment agreement and for a period of six months after termination of employment, the officer is prohibited from, directly or indirectly, engaging in or becoming interested financially in, as a principal, employee, partner, contractor, shareholder, agent, manager, owner, advisor, lender, guarantor, officer or director, any business that is engaged in the nutritional supplement industry and/or related products, subject to certain exceptions for passive investments.

Additionally, the non-solicitation provisions of the employment agreements prohibit the officer from soliciting for employment any employee of the Company or any person who was an employee of the Company in the 90-day period before such solicitation. This prohibition applies during the officer’s employment with the Company and for 12 months following the termination of the officer’s employment.

Change in Control Payments

The Employment Agreements referenced in the above provide for payments upon termination or employment after a change in control in certain situations.

2012 Non-Employee Director Compensation Program

In October 2012, our board of directors adopted a non-employee director compensation program. Directors who are employees of the Company receive no additional compensation for their services as directors. Non-employee directors are compensated for their service on our board of directors as described below. The following table describes the components of compensation for non-employee directors in effect beginning October 2012:

Compensation Element	2012 Compensation Program ($)
Annual Cash Retainer		20,000
Annual Equity Retainer Award		25,000
Board Meeting Fees		1,000
Audit Committee Chair Committee Meeting Fee		1,000
New Director Fee (one-time equity grant)		2,000

Annual Cash Retainer and Meeting Fees . Beginning in October 2012, each non-employee director who continues to serve as a director will receive an annual cash retainer fee of $20,000 per year, pro rata for service less than one year. Non-employee directors will also receive $1,000 per meeting attended for all in-person and telephonic meetings of the Board subject to a $6,000 per-year cap on meeting fees. Further, the Audit Committee Chair will receive $1,000 per Audit Committee meeting.

Annual Equity Retainer Award. Beginning in January 2013 and pro-rata for the fourth quarter of 2012, each non-employee director will receive $25,000 of the annual board retainer fee in the form of restricted common stock with the number of shares of restricted common stock determined by dividing that dollar amount by the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. These shares of restricted common stock will vest in four equal quarterly installments. The restricted common stock awards will be forfeitable during that vesting period, though directors who leave the board during the year will receive any vested restricted common stock. On February 14, 2013, we granted each non-employee director a restricted stock award for 6,252 restricted shares of common stock that vests as to 1,563 shares on a quarterly basis beginning March 31, 2013.

New Director Fee (one-time equity grant). Beginning in October 2012, each non-employee director will receive a one-time equity grant of restricted common stock with a value of approximately $2,000 with the number of shares of restricted common stock determined by dividing that dollar amount by the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant. These shares of restricted common stock will be fully vested upon grant. On November 16, 2012, we issued 353 shares to our three non-employee directors as their one-time equity grant. On February 14, 2013, we issued an additional 132 shares to our three non-employee directors because the number of shares received by each director on November 16, 2012 was less than the approximate value of $2,000 for the initial grant.

Indemnification Agreements

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and named executive officers. The indemnification agreements and our bylaws will require us to indemnify our directors to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law.

Warrant Conversion

On September 20, 2012, we entered into a warrant conversion agreement with Mr. Bluher, our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, for the conversion of warrants to purchase 29,412 shares of our common stock into 19,589 shares of our common stock.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Parties

We intend to adopt a written related person transactions policy that our executive officers, directors, nominees for election as a director, beneficial owners of more than 5% of our common stock, and any members of the immediate family of and any entity affiliated with any of the foregoing persons, are not permitted to enter into a material related person transaction with us without the review and approval of our audit committee, or a committee composed solely of independent directors in the event it is inappropriate for our audit committee to review such transaction due to a conflict of interest. We expect the policy to provide that any request for us to enter into a transaction with an executive officer, director, nominee for election as a director, beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock or with any of their immediate family members or affiliates, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 will be presented to our audit committee for review, consideration and approval. In approving or rejecting any such proposal, we expect that our audit committee will consider the relevant facts and circumstances available and deemed relevant to the audit committee, including, but not limited to, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction.

Although we have not had a written policy for the review and approval of transactions with related persons, our board of directors has historically reviewed and approved any transaction where a director or officer had a financial interest, including all of the transactions described above. Prior to approving such a transaction, the material facts as to a director’s or officer’s relationship or interest as to the agreement or transaction were disclosed to our board of directors. Our board of directors would take this information into account when evaluating the transaction and in determining whether such transaction was fair to us and in the best interest of all of our stockholders.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION

OF SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Nevada corporate law and our Bylaws. We have agreed to indemnify each of our directors and certain officers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC 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 our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the 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 our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

MusclePharm Corporation

Denver, Colorado

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of MusclePharm Corporation and subsidiary (the "Company") as of December 31, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of MusclePharm Corporation and subsidiary as of December 31, 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MusclePharm Corporation and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $23,280,950 and net cash used in operations of $5,801,761 for the year ended December 31, 2011; and has a working capital deficit of $13,693,267, and a stockholders’ deficit of $12,971,212 at December 31, 2011. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regards to these matters is also described in Note 2.

MusclePharm Corporation and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(December 31, 2012 and 2011)

Note 1: Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations

MusclePharm Corporation and consolidated subsidiary (the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “MP”) 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 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 United States Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MusclePharm Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary MusclePharm Canada Enterprises Corp(“MusclePharm Canada”). MusclePharm Canada began operations in April of 2012. All intercompany accounts and transactions between Musclepharm Corporation and MusclePharm Canada have been eliminated upon 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.

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 and other risks, including the potential risk of business failure.

Management’s Plans with Respect to Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s management believes that with increased sales expansion and the opening of the Franklin, Tennessee distribution center, there will be opportunities to increase sales; however, the Company may need to continue to raise capital in order execute the business plan, which includes buying more inventory and broadening the sales platform. There can be no assurance that such capital will be available on acceptable terms or at all. See Note 12 for subsequent events related to the Company’s capital raising efforts.

MusclePharm Corporation and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(December 31, 2012 and 2011)

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 December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had no cash equivalents.

The Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits. At December 31, 2012, there were no balances that exceeded the federally insured limit. At December 31, 2011, there was one account that had a balance that exceeded the federally insured limit by approximately $378,000.

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 $4,224,562 and $2,100,214 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, 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 December 31, 2012 and 2011:

	As of December 31, 2012			As of December 31, 2011
Accounts receivable	$	4,416,193		$	2,766,776
Less: allowance for discounts		(1,088,720	)		-
Less: allowance for doubtful accounts		(25,129	)		(197,684	)
Accounts receivable – net	$	3,302,344		$	2,569,092

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

Customer	2012			2011
A		24	%		36	%
B		20	%		7	%
C		6	%		12	%
D		1	%		10	%

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market value. Product-related inventories are primarily maintained using the average cost method.

Prepaid Giveaways

Prepaid giveaways represents non-inventory sample items which are given away to aid in promotion of the brand.

Prepaid Sponsorship Fees

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

MusclePharm Corporation and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(December 31, 2012 and 2011)

Prepaid Stock Compensation

Prepaid stock compensation represents amounts paid with stock in connection with future contractual benefits to be received. The Company amortizes these contractual benefits over the life of the contracts using the straight-line method.

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.

Deferred Equity Costs

Costs associated with equity offerings are initially classified as deferred equity costs until moneys are received from the sale of equity shares. Upon receipt of funds, the Company nets any deferred equity costs against the gross proceeds recorded as equity.

Website Development Costs

Costs incurred in the planning stage of a website are expensed, while costs incurred in the development stage are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset.

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 years ended December 31, 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 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.

MusclePharm Corporation and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(December 31, 2012 and 2011)

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.

	As of December 31,
	2012		2011

Derivative liabilities (Level 2)	$	-	$	7,061,238

The Company’s financial instruments consisted primarily of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and debt. 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 December 31, 2012 and 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 one of our largest domestic customers (See customer “B” below under concentrations), which represents 12% and 14% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, revenue is recognized upon delivery.

The Company has 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.

The Company records store support, giveaways, sales allowances and discounts as a direct reduction of sales. The Company grants volume incentive rebates to certain customers based on contractually agreed percentages once certain thresholds have been met. These volume incentive rebates are recorded as a direct reduction to sales.

Sales for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,

Licensing Income and Royalty Revenue

On May 5, 2011, the Company granted an exclusive indefinite license to a third party for $250,000. The licensee may market, manufacture, design and sell the Company’s existing apparel line. The licensee is obligated to 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.

Cost of Sales

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

Shipping and Handling

Domestic products sold are shipped directly to the customer from the 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 and the costs associated with the shipments are recorded as shipping in cost of sales.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs when incurred.

Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, are as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2012		2011

Advertising	$	8,430,401	$	5,241,585

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. 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 is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Beginning with the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, (included in FASB ASC Subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes — Overall), the Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.

The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. There were no interest or penalties for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

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.

Significant Customers

In the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company has relied on two customers for a substantial portion of its sales making up 45% and 55% of total sales, respectively. MusclePharm’s sales for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 to Bodybuiding.com were 33% and 41%, respectively and to GNC 2012 and 2011 were 12% and 14%, respectively.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities consists of the Company’s Trade Payables as well as amounts estimated by management for future liability payments that relate to the current accounting period. Management reviews these estimates periodically to determine their reasonableness and fair presentation.

Debt

The Company defines short term debt as any debt payment due less than one year from the date of the financial statements. Long term debt is defined as any debt payment due more than one year from the date of the financial statements. Refer to Note 4 for further disclosure debt liabilities.

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.

Deferred Equity Costs

The Company may pay costs related to the underwriting and offering of equity securities. These costs are treated as a reduction to equity capital raised and recorded in equity when the share issuances are recorded. Until the shares are recorded or until offering is aborted, these costs will be held on the balance sheet as a deferred asset.

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 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, 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.

(December 31, 2012 and 2011)

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

Since the Company reflected a net loss for the years ended December 31, 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 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively:

	As of December 31,
	2012		2011
Stock options (exercise price – $425/share)		1,847		1,903
Warrants (exercise price – $12.75 - $1,275/share)		89		72,584
Convertible Series C Preferred Stock (conversion price $8.50/share)		-		23
Convertible debt (conversion price – $1.70- $17/share)		-		527,757
Total common stock equivalents		1,936		602,267

In the above table, some of the outstanding instruments from 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.

Foreign Currency

MusclePharm 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 U.S. 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 in the net cash used in operating activities section of the statement of cash flows to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications were for presentation purposes had no effect net cash used in operating activities for the periods presented.

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.

Note 7: Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due. Deferred taxes relate to differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting which will be either taxable or deductible when the assets or liabilities are recovered or settled.

At December 31, 2012, the Company has a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $23,940,000 available to offset future taxable income expiring through 2032. Utilization of future net operating losses may be limited due to potential ownership changes under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

The valuation allowance at December 31, 2011 was approximately $8,570,000. The net change in valuation allowance during the year ended December 31, 2012 was an increase of approximately $5,087,000. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on consideration of these items, management has determined that enough uncertainty exists relative to the realization of the deferred income tax asset balances to warrant the application of a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2012.

Note 8: Stockholders’ deficit

The Company has four separate series of authorized preferred stock:

On November 26, 2012, the Company (i) effected a 1-for-850 reverse stock split of our common stock, including a proportionate reduction in the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 2.36 billion shares to 2.8 million shares of common stock, and (ii) amended our articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock (post reverse stock split) from 2,941,177 to 100 million effective November 27, 2012. All share and per share amounts in this document have been changed to give effect to the reverse stock split.

(A) Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

The shares of Series A have the following provisions:

Non-voting,

No rights to dividends,

No liquidation value,

Convertible into 200 shares of common stock.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(December 31, 2012 and 2011)

(B) Series B Preferred Stock (Related Parties)

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

The shares of Series B have the following provisions:

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

Initially no rights to dividends;

Stated value of $0.001 per share;

Liquidation rights entitle the receipt of net assets on a pro-rata basis; and

Non-convertible.

(C) Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

In October 2011, the Company issued 190 shares of Series C Convertible 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 22,353 common shares at a conversion price of $0.0085 per share and a loss of $614,984.

The shares of Series C have 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 Stock authorization; and

Convertible at the higher of (a) $8.50 or (b) such price that is a 50% discount to market using the average of the low 2 closing bid prices, 5 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 remeasurement date, which was $293 and $175, respectively, using the Black-Scholes valuation model. This transaction is analogous to a dividend with a direct charge to retained earnings.

(D) Series D Convertible Preferred Stock

In January 2013 the Board of Directors authorized 1,600,000 shares of Series D convertible preferred stock.

The shares of Series D have the following provisions:

Voting rights based on number of common shares of conversion option;

Initially no rights to dividends;

Liquidation rights entitle the receipt of net assets on a pro-rata basis; and

Convertible into 2 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment.

Subsequent to year end, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of Series D preferred stock. Refer to Note 12 for details on this transaction.

(F) Stock Options

On February 1, 2010, the Company's board of directors and shareholders approved the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan ("2010 Plan"). The 2010 Plan allows the Company to grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights to key employees, directors consultants, advisors and service providers of the Company or its subsidiaries. Any stock option granted in the form of an incentive stock option will be intended to comply with the

requirements of Section 422 of the Code. Only stock options granted to employees qualify for incentive stock option treatment. No incentive stock option shall be granted after February 1, 2020, which is 10 years from the date the 2010 Plan was initially adopted. A stock option may be exercised in whole or in installments, which may be cumulative. Shares of common stock purchased upon the exercise of a stock option must be paid for in full at the time of the exercise in cash or such other consideration determined by the compensation committee. Payment may include tendering shares of common stock or surrendering of a stock award, or a combination of methods.

The 2010 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has full and exclusive power within the limitations set forth in the 2010 Plan to make all decisions and determinations regarding the selection of participants and the granting of awards; establishing the terms and conditions relating to each award; adopting rules, regulations and guidelines; and interpreting the 2010 Plan. The Compensation Committee will determine the appropriate mix of stock options and stock awards to be granted to best achieve the objectives of the 2010 Plan. The 2010 Plan may be amended by the Board or the compensation committee, without the approval of stockholders, but no such amendments may increase the number of shares issuable under the 2010 Plan or adversely affect any outstanding awards without the consent of the holders thereof. The total number of shares that may be issued shall not exceed 5,883, subject to adjustment in the event of certain recapitalizations, reorganizations and similar transactions.
