CAPSTONE FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Organization
The business focus of Capstone Financial Group,
Inc. (the "Company") is to invest in equity securities of other companies. The Company seeks to discover, unlock and
grow value in privately-held or illiquid companies, including through the exercise of friendly influence at a company in support
of operational improvements and strategic initiatives. In some cases, the Company might be one of the largest shareholders of the
other company.
The Company seeks to work closely and constructively
with the management and boards of the other companies. While the Company does not manage the day-to-day operations of these companies,
the Company seeks to maintain a thorough understanding of how they operate and evaluate their performance and prospects on an ongoing
basis.
The Company may also seek to actively trade
in its strategic investment positions and/or enter into private securities transactions with regard to those positions, to capitalize
on price fluctuations and realize profits or minimize losses.
The Company was incorporated on July 10, 2012
under the laws of the State of Nevada, as Creative App Solutions, Inc. On August 23, 2013, the Company amended its articles of
incorporation and changed its name to Capstone Financial Group, Inc.
Through December 31, 2012, the Company had
not commenced significant operations and, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting
Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915, the Company was considered a development stage company. During the year ended
December 31, 2013, the Company exited the development stage. Effective in 2014, the Company transitioned its business plan to its
current business focus.
At June 30, 2015 the Company’s investments
are entirely focused in one entity, Twinlab Consolidated Holdings, Inc. (“Twinlab”). Management believes that it will
be able to liquidate a sufficient portion of its investment and/or raise additional capital to avoid and/or satisfy its call obligations
as and when they become due and/or are exercised. However, no assurance can be given that market conditions in the future will
continue to allow the Company to sell its investments in sufficient quantities to enable full warrant exercises or to raise additional
capital to do so (see Note 6).
CAPSTONE FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial
statements of have been prepared in accordance with financial reporting conventions of the investment company industry and United
States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year
ended December 31, 2014, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 30, 2015. The unaudited
condensed financial statements contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that in the opinion of management, are necessary
to present fairly the financial position of the Company at June 30, 2015, the results of the Company’s operations for the
three months and six months periods ended June 30, 2015 and the Company’s cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
It should be understood that accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at
year-end. The results of operations for the three months and six months periods ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full year or any future interim periods.
NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company has evaluated the recent accounting
pronouncements through the date of this filing, and management does not expect adoption of such pronouncements to have an impact
on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
GAAP defines fair value as the price
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies
into the following three levels:
|
• |
Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available. |
|
• |
Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs to the valuation methodology that are derived principally from or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
|
• |
Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. |
CAPSTONE FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company’s financial instruments are valued by level within the fair value hierarchy. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the
lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The valuation methodology for each investment type and
discussion of key unobservable inputs is described below.
Common Stocks
Generally, when the Company invests in common
stocks that are traded on the NASDAQ Markets or over-the-counter markets (such as the OTCBB, OTCQB or OTC Pink marketplaces), such
common stocks are valued at the last traded price. If there is no trade on a measurement date, the Company will typically value
the common stock at the closing bid price. However, in certain circumstances, the closing trading price is not considered to be
a fair indication of the value for which the Company can sell the common stock. In such cases, the
common stock must be analyzed to determine what exit price the Company would receive when liquidating the position. Investments
in non-marketable common stocks at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were valued based on subsequent transactions with unrelated
third parties. These positions are classified as Level 3 securities by the Company.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative financial instruments include call
and put options and warrants at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Derivatives are accounted for at fair value with changes in
fair value reported in operations. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s
derivative financial instruments include the underlying common stock, duration, volatility and discount rate, which are used in
the Black-Scholes and Monte Carlo valuation models. Changes to any of those inputs in isolation would result in fluctuations in
the fair value measurement.
NOTE 5 – MARKET, CREDIT AND LIQUIDITY
RISK
Market risk is the potential loss the Company
may incur as a result of changes in the market or fair value of a particular financial instrument. Risks arise in options and warrant
contracts from changes in the market or fair value of their underlying financial instruments.
Credit risk is the potential loss the Company
may incur as a result of the failure of a counterparty or an issuer to make payments according to the terms of a contract. Credit
risk can arise from investment activities in financially distressed issuers. To manage this risk, the Company may seek to diversify
its investment portfolio with respect to specific credits, sectors and asset classes.
The Company is also subject to market concentration
risk since a significant portion of its investment portfolio has similar characteristics, and is therefore affected similarly by
changes in economic conditions.
Investments of the Company trade in relatively
thin markets and throughout the year, depending upon market conditions, may be considered illiquid. As a result, the market values
can be more volatile and difficult to determine relative to other securities. In addition, if the Company is required to liquidate
all or a portion of its portfolio quickly, it may realize significantly less than the value at which it previously recorded its
financial instruments.

During the first quarter of 2014, the Company
purchased shares in a company (other than Twinlab) traded on the OTC Markets for a total of $2,919. The Company currently categorizes
these holdings as Level 3 assets. As of June 30, 2015, this investment is carried at $0 value under management’s valuation
guidelines.
CAPSTONE FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In August 2014, the Company purchased 10,987,500
split-adjusted shares of common stock of Twinlab in private transactions from 25 shareholders for total consideration of $3,296.
In August 2014, the Company purchased options
to acquire 8,743,000 outstanding shares of Twinlab’s Common Stock (collectively, the “2014 Call Options”) in
a private transaction from 14 stockholders, for total consideration of $2,623. The 2014 Call Options exercise price is $0.0001
per share and the 2014 Call Options expire in August 2015. Such options are immediately exercisable and in February 2015, the Company
exercised 7,244,500 of those options.
In September 2014, Twinlab issued to the Company
a Series A Warrant to purchase up to 52,631,579 shares of Twinlab’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.76 per share
(the “Series A Warrant”) and a Series B Warrant to purchase up to 22,368,421 shares of Twinlab’s Common Stock
at an exercise price of $0.76 per share (the “Series B Warrant”). Both the Series A Warrant and the Series B Warrant
were exercisable from October 2014 through October 2017.
Twinlab and the Company also entered into a
Common Stock Put Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2014, as amended on December 15, 2014 (the “Put Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Put Agreement, if the Company did not exercise the Series A Warrant by February 16, 2015 and thereafter at a rate
of no less than 1,461,988 shares of Common Stock (the “Minimum Amount”) per month (the “Minimum Rate”)
over the term of the Series A Warrant, Twinlab had the right (subject to certain conditions) to require the Company to exercise
the Series A Warrant at the Minimum Rate for the duration of the Series A Warrant.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015,
the Company sold an aggregate of 3,976,647 units of Twinlab securities to various unrelated third party accredited investors.
Each unit consisted of one share of (unrestricted) Twinlab common stock and a detachable call option to purchase from the Company,
for $1.00 per share, one (restricted) share of Twinlab common stock. The term of each such call option was three years from the
respective unit sale date.
CAPSTONE FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Twinlab and the Company also entered into a
Compromise Agreement and Release and an Amendment No. 1 to Series B Warrant, each dated as of May 28, 2015, pursuant to which,
among other things: (a) the Company surrendered the entire remaining-unexercised portion of the Series A Warrant (51,973,684 warrants)
and 4,368,421 of the warrants under the Series B Warrant; (b) the Put Agreement was terminated; (c) the remaining 18,000,000 warrants
under the Series B Warrant were deemed divided into four tranches, each with an associated date beyond which it would no longer
be exercisable: one tranche for 2,000,000 warrant shares (no longer exercisable after November 30, 2015), one for 4,000,000 warrant
shares (no longer exercisable after March 31, 2016), one for 6,000,000 warrant shares (no longer exercisable after July 31, 2016)
and another for 6,000,000 warrant shares (no longer exercisable after November 30, 2016); and (d) the Company granted Twinlab three
contingent call options, at $0.01 per share, to acquire Twinlab shares from the Company to the extent that upon effective expiration
of the second, third and fourth tranches the Company had not exercised the warrants within such tranches (the “Contingent
Call Options”). The three Contingent Call Options would be for a number of Twinlab shares equal to 25% of such unexercised
warrants (i.e., a maximum of 1,000,000 shares if the Company exercised no warrants from the second tranche, a maximum of 1,500,000
shares if the Company exercised no warrants from the third tranche and a maximum of 1,500,000 shares if the Company exercised no
warrants from the fourth tranche). In addition, Twinlab cannot exercise a Contingent Call Option unless it has satisfied such option’s
“Liquidity Condition,” namely that for each of the three or four months before the tranche’s effective expiration
date Twinlab must have a financial position sufficient to show a 1.15x fixed charge coverage ratio for a certain trailing period,
all as defined by Twinlab’s Credit and Security Agreement dated January 22, 2015. Twinlab also agreed in the Compromise Agreement
and Release that, given that the Company has identified, and may in the future identify, to Twinlab on a confidential basis persons
to whom the Company might sell the Company’s Twinlab shares, Twinlab shall not, without the Company’s prior written
consent, privately place Twinlab equity securities to any persons theretofore or thereafter first introduced to Twinlab by the
Company; provided that Twinlab may, without the Company’s consent, privately place Twinlab equity securities to such a person
at any time after the earlier of (a) the date the entire Series B Warrant has expired and/or been exercised, or (b) the first anniversary
of such particular introduction.

This hierarchy requires the Company to use
observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. For some products
or in certain market conditions, observable inputs used in valuing certain financial assets and liabilities were unavailable. In
situations where there is little, if any, market activity for an asset or liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement
objective remains to measure the financial asset at the price that would be received by the holder of the financial asset (or liability)
in an orderly transaction that is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale at the measurement date.

NOTE
7 – INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under
the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future
tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities
are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted
tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Income tax benefit for the six months ended
June 30, 2015 was $1,443,046 at an effective tax rate of 40.33%, which was greater than the federal statutory rate due to the
state income tax expense.
The impact of an uncertain income tax position
on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by the
relevant tax authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being
sustained. The disclosures regarding the Company's unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2014
included in the Company's 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K continue to be relevant for the periods ended June
30, 2015 as to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits at June 30, 2015.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q
contains forward-looking statements
and involves risks and
uncertainties that could
materially affect expected results
of operations, liquidity, cash flows, and business prospects. Forward-looking statements may
appear throughout this
report, including without
limitation, the following
sections: Part I Item 2
“Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results
of Operations.” Forward-looking
statements generally can be identified
by words such
as “anticipates,” “believes,”
“estimates,” “expects,”
“intends,” “plans,”
“predicts,” “projects,”
“will be,” “will
continue,” “will likely
result,” and similar
expressions. These forward-looking
statements are based
on current expectations
and assumptions that are subject
to risks and uncertainties, which could cause our actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking
statements. Factors that
could cause or
contribute to such
differences include, but
are not limited
to, those discussed
in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April
30, 2015, and in
particular, the risks
discussed under the
caption “Risk Factors”
in Part I Item 1A
thereof, and those discussed
in other documents
we file with the SEC. We undertake no
obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision
to these forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
Overview and Outlook
Our business focus is to use our own capital
to acquire the outstanding equity securities of other companies. We do not produce goods or services ourselves. Rather, our primary
purpose is to own and trade shares of other companies. We seek to discover, unlock and grow value in privately-held or illiquid
companies, including through the exercise of friendly influence at a company in support of operational improvements and strategic
initiatives. In some cases, we might be one of the largest shareholders of the other company.
We seek to work closely and constructively
with the management and boards of the other companies. While we do not manage the day-to-day operations of these companies, we
seek to maintain a thorough understanding of how they operate and evaluate their performance and prospects on an ongoing basis.
We may also seek to actively trade in our strategic
investment positions and/or enter into private securities transactions with regard to those positions, to capitalize on price fluctuations
and realize profits or minimize losses.
We were initially formed to design and sell
mobile apps for smart phones and other mobile platforms such as tablets. We never launched an active business based on this focus.
During the third quarter of 2013, we refocused
ourselves as a financial services company.
On January 15, 2014, in support of our financial
services business focus, we effected a reverse triangular merger whereby Capstone Affluent Strategies, Inc. (“Affluent”),
a California corporation, became our wholly owned subsidiary. Affluent, a financial services company, had been wholly owned by
Darin Pastor.
In March 2014, we refocused ourselves again,
to our current business model. We believe our current business model is likely to result in lower expenses levels than would have
been associated with our financial services company business model.
On August 11, 2014, we effectively unwound
the Affluent merger transaction, due to Affluent’s inability to produce audited financial statements as required and the
change in our business focus. In October 2014, we acquired from Darin Pastor certain Affluent assets and assumed certain Affluent
liabilities. (Affluent had been dissolved earlier in 2014.)
Currently our primary strategic investment
position is in securities of Twinlab Consolidated Holdings, Inc. (“Twinlab”). In August 2014, we purchased 10,987,500
shares of common stock of Twinlab in private transactions from 25 shareholders, for nominal consideration. Additionally, in
August 2014, we purchased options to acquire 8,743,000 currently-outstanding shares of Twinlab’s common stock (collectively,
the “2014 Call Options”) from 14 shareholders in a private transaction, for nominal consideration. The 2014 Call Options
exercise price is $0.0001 per share and the 2014 Call Options expiration date was August 2015. (In February 2015, we exercised
the Call Options. Optionors honored the exercise as to 7,244,500 Twinlab shares. Other optionors have not yet honored the exercise,
as to at least 1,498,500 Twinlab shares. We intend, if necessary, to file suit to enforce the exercises as to those shares.)
On September 30, 2014, Twinlab issued to us
a Series A Warrant to purchase up to 52,631,579 shares of Twinlab common stock at an exercise price of $0.76 per share (the “Series
A Warrant”), and a Series B Warrant to purchase up to 22,368,421 shares of Twinlab common stock at an exercise price of $0.76
per share (the “Series B Warrant”). By their original terms, the Series A Warrant and the Series B Warrant were both
exercisable from October 2014 through October 2017.
On September 30, 2014, Twinlab and we also
entered into the Put Agreement. Pursuant to the Put Agreement, if we did not exercise the Series A Warrant by February 16, 2015
and thereafter at a rate of no less than 1,461,988 shares of Twinlab common stock (the “Minimum Amount”) per month
(the “Minimum Rate”) over the term of the Series A Warrant, Twinlab had the right (subject to certain conditions) to
require us to exercise the Series A Warrant at the Minimum Rate for the duration of the Series A Warrant. In the event Twinlab
exercised its right to require us to exercise the Series A Warrant, the purchase price per share of Twinlab common stock thereunder
would have been $0.775.
We did not exercise the “Minimum Amount”
of shares per the Put Agreement. In April 2015 we exercised the Series A Warrant as to 657,895 Twinlab shares.
In November 2014, we sold 436,681 of our Twinlab
shares for approximately $1,000,000.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015,
we sold an aggregate of 3,976,647 units of Twinlab securities to various unrelated third party accredited investors. Each
unit consisted of one share of (unrestricted) Twinlab common stock and a detachable call option (“Third-Party Call Options”)
to purchase from us, for $1.00 per share, one (restricted) share of Twinlab common stock. The term of each such call option was
three years from the respective unit sale date. In each case, the sale price per unit was $0.76. In the first quarter of 2015
we sold 1,921,497 Twinlab shares and Third-Party Call Options for $1,460,340. In the second quarter of 2015 we sold 2,055,150
Twinlab shares and Third-Party Call Options for $1,561,920.
In addition, in the second quarter of 2015
we sold 464,466 Twinlab shares (without any associated Third-Party Call Options) for $353,000.
In total, during the six months
ended June 30, 2015 we sold Twinlab securities for $3,375,260.
On May 28, 2015, we entered into a Compromise
Agreement and Release and an Amendment No. 1 to Series B Warrant, each between Twinlab and us. Pursuant to these two agreements:
|
- |
The Put Agreement was terminated. |
|
- |
We surrendered the entire remaining-unexercised portion of the Series A Warrant (51,973,684 warrants). |
|
- |
We surrendered 4,368,421 of the warrants under the Series B Warrant. |
|
- |
The remaining 18,000,000 warrants under the Series B Warrant were deemed divided into four tranches, each with an associated date beyond which it would no longer be exercisable: one tranche for 2,000,000 warrant shares (no longer exercisable after November 30, 2015); one for 4,000,000 warrant shares (no longer exercisable after March 31, 2016); one for 6,000,000 warrant shares (no longer exercisable after July 31, 2016); and another for 6,000,000 warrant shares (no longer exercisable after November 30, 2016); |
|
- |
We granted Twinlab three contingent call options, at $0.01 per share, to acquire Twinlab shares from us to the extent that upon effective expiration of the second, third and fourth tranches we had not exercised the warrants within such tranches (the “Contingent Call Options”). The three Contingent Call Options would be for a number of Twinlab shares equal to 25% of such unexercised warrants (i.e., a maximum of 1,000,000 shares if we exercised no warrants from the second tranche, a maximum of 1,500,000 shares if we exercised no warrants from the third tranche and a maximum of 1,500,000 shares if we exercised no warrants from the fourth tranche). In addition, Twinlab cannot exercise a Contingent Call Option unless it has satisfied such option’s “Liquidity Condition,” namely that for each of the three or four months before the tranche’s effective expiration date Twinlab must have a financial position sufficient to show a 1.15x fixed charge coverage ratio for a certain trailing period, all as defined by Twinlab’s Credit and Security Agreement dated January 22, 2015. |
|
- |
Given that we have identified, and may in the future identify, to Twinlab on a confidential basis persons to whom we might sell our Twinlab shares, Twinlab agreed that it shall not, without our prior written consent, privately place Twinlab equity securities to any persons theretofore or thereafter first introduced to Twinlab by us; provided that Twinlab may, without our consent, privately place Twinlab equity securities to such a person at any time after the earlier of (a) the date the entire Series B Warrant has expired and/or been exercised, or (b) the first anniversary of such particular introduction. |
As a result of these two agreements, our investment
position in Twinlab as of immediately after the two agreements was as follows:
|
- |
We have no further potential cash obligation to Twinlab under the Put Agreement; an imminent cash obligation to Twinlab of approximately $40.8 million was thereby avoided. |
|
- |
We retained all of our 14,476,567 outstanding
Twinlab shares (13,818,672 unrestricted, free-trading Twinlab shares and 657,895 restricted Twinlab shares).
-
Later in the second quarter of 2015 we sold an additional 464,466 unrestricted, free-trading
Twinlab shares to accredited investors.
-
Our obligations to our accredited-investor counterparties under the 3,976,647 Third-Party
Call options continued unchanged.
-
We obtained an additional 526,316 restricted Twinlab shares upon a partial exercise of the
Series B Warrant on July 7, 2015.
-
We obtained an additional 131,579 restricted Twinlab shares upon a partial exercise of the
Series B Warrant on July 23, 2015.
|
|
- |
We retained 18,000,000 warrants under the Series
B Warrant, at an unchanged $0.76 per share exercise price, with effective expiration dates ranging from November 30, 2015 to November
30, 2016 (and with at least 14 months of remaining term for 12,000,000 of the warrants).
-
We exercised 526,316 of such warrants on July 7, 2015.
-
We exercised 131,579 of such warrants on July 23, 2015. |
|
- |
The Registration Rights Agreement remains in full force and effect to enable the Securities Act registration of all Twinlab shares issued upon exercise of the Series B Warrant. |
|
- |
Under the Contingent Call Options, we undertook a contingent obligation to deliver to Twinlab (at $0.01 per share) up to 4,000,000 Twinlab shares, but the obligation would be reduced or entirely eliminated to the extent we exercise the last three deemed tranches of the Series B Warrant and/or to the extent that Twinlab fails to meet a required fixed charge coverage ratio for certain months. The redelivered Twinlab shares would not have to be free-trading Twinlab shares. |
At June 30, 2015, the fair value of the liability
under the 3,976,647 Third-Party Call Options was recorded on our balance sheet at $621,977.
At June 30, 2015, the fair value of the liability
under the Contingent Call Options was recorded on our balance sheet at $225,599.
On October 28, 2014, we entered into a transaction
in which we acquired from Darin Pastor certain assets which had been assets of Affluent and assumed certain liabilities which had
been liabilities of Affluent, including liabilities under notes in favor of Darin Pastor. At June 30, 2015, the outstanding principal
amount of and accrued interest on such assumed notes was $566,506.
In July 2015, in exchange for $277,500, we
acquired a 20% interest in privately-held Western New York real estate companies LC Strategic Realty, LLC and LC Strategic Holdings,
LLC, as well as in all other business conducted by the firms’ majority holders to the extent such other business has a primary
focus on (a) real estate (subject to the exclusion of certain specified projects), (b) media/entertainment/show business, or (c)
endorsements/advertisements/personal appearances/use of likeness/ monetization of celebrity.
On June 17 and 18, 2015, we filed a Form 4
and an amended Schedule 13D statement to report a June 10, 2015 sale by us of 13,157,895 shares of Twinlab common stock to a third
party. The third party did not timely honor its payment obligation under the sale contract and still had not honored it as of the
filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and accordingly we will not reflect this “sale” in our financial
statements until the quarter (if ever) when the purchase price is actually paid, and until then we will treat the transaction as
a non-event for financial reporting purposes.
We currently are considering electing to become
a Business Development Company and/or filing (or causing an affiliated company to file) an application with the United States Small
Business Administration to become a Small Business Investment Company. We can give no assurance that such an application will be
filed or that, if filed, it will be granted.
Results of Operations for the Quarterly
Periods Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
Revenues. Total revenues
(excluding gain and loss on investment securities) for the quarters ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $57,015 and $10,188. The
2015 period included services income of $50,001. Due to our current business focus, we do not expect to regularly generate material
amounts of services income.
Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss)
on Financial Instruments. We recorded a $2,286,616 realized loss on financial instruments for the
quarter ended June 30, 2015 as a result of the May 28, 2015 transaction with Twinlab in which we surrendered the entire remaining-unexercised
portion of the Series A Warrants (51,973,684 warrants) and amended the Series B Warrant terms and amount (combined realized loss
of $14,050,658) and the Put Agreement was terminated (realized gain of $9,849,013), together with our combined sales of 2,519,616
Twinlab shares to third parties during the quarter (realized gain of $1,915,084). We also recorded a $395,876 unrealized
loss on financial instruments for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 as a result of such sales of 2,519,616 Twinlab shares
to third parties during the quarter (resulting in a transfer of $1,915,084 of gain from the category of unrealized gain
to the category of realized gain) and unrealized loss of $621,977 for the establishment of the Third-Party Call Options and $225,599
for the establishment of the Contingent Call Options, partially offset by $2,366,784 of unrealized gain recorded for the Series
B Warrant as amended on May 28, 2015. The overall net loss on financial instruments for the quarter was $2,682,492.
If our assessments/estimates of the fair value
of our holdings of Twinlab securities were to change from quarter to quarter, there could be significant changes in our unrealized
gain on such holdings, which in turn would result in significant gain or loss on our statement of operations for the quarter in
question. However, at both March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, our determination was that the fair value of Twinlab common stock
was $0.76 per Twinlab share. Accordingly, there was no such gain or loss on our statement of operations for the quarter ended June
30, 2015 due to any such change in valuation. Although our sales of Twinlab stock in the second quarter of 2015 generated $1,914,920
(of which $120,000 was not actually received in cash until the third quarter), we did not record an overall net gain on financial instruments
on such sales, because the sales prices ($0.76 per share) were the same as the fair value we had determined for our Twinlab stock
and at which we were carrying the Twinlab stock on our books. The sales merely resulted in a transfer of unrealized gain to realized
gain.
We did not own any Twinlab securities in the
second quarter of 2014.
Payroll. Payroll for
the quarters ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $48,158 and $45,821, respectively. We are holding the salaries of our most senior
officers at very low levels.
Professional Fees. Professional
fees for the quarters ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $340,596 and $102,960, respectively. The increase was primarily due to
legal fees for preparing documents for production as required by legal process, and accounting and legal fees related to required
restatements of financial statements and amendments of previous SEC periodic reports.
General and Administrative. General
and administrative expenses (excluding payroll expense and professional fees) for the quarters ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were
$151,617 and $186,876, respectively; the decrease in 2015 was primarily due to the absence of rent expense in April 2015, before
the start of our 126-month lease for our East Amherst, New York headquarters building.
Results of Operations for the Six Months
Periods Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
Revenues. Total revenues
(excluding gain and loss on investment securities) for the six months periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $114,462 and $18,695.
The 2015 period included services income of $100,002. Due to our current business focus, we do not expect to regularly generate
material amounts of services income.
Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss)
on Financial Instruments. We recorded a $826,456 realized loss on financial instruments for the six
months period ended June 30, 2015 as a result of the May 28, 2015 transaction with Twinlab in which we surrendered the entire
remaining-unexercised portion of the Series A Warrants (51,973,684 warrants) and amended the Series B Warrant terms and amount
(combined realized loss of $14,050,658) and the Put Agreement was terminated (realized gain of $9,849,013), together with our
combined sales of 4,441,113 Twinlab shares to third parties during the six months period (realized gain of $3,375,260).
We also recorded a $1,856,036 unrealized loss on financial instruments for the six months period ended June 30, 2015 as
a result of such sales of 4,441,113 Twinlab shares to third parties during the six months period (resulting in a transfer of $3,375,260
of gain from the category of unrealized gain to the category of realized gain) and unrealized loss of $621,977 for the establishment
of the Third-Party Call Options and $225,599 for the establishment of the Contingent Call Options, partially offset by $2,366,784
of unrealized gain recorded for the Series B Warrant as amended on May 28, 2015. The overall net loss on financial instruments
for the six months period ended June 30, 2015 was $2,682,492.
If our assessments/estimates of the fair value
of our holdings of Twinlab securities were to change from quarter to quarter, there could be significant changes in our unrealized
gain on such holdings, which in turn would result in significant gain or loss on our statement of operations for the quarter in
question. However, at both December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2015, our determination was that the fair value of Twinlab common stock
was $0.76 per Twinlab share. Accordingly, there was no such gain or loss on our statement of operations for the six months period
ended June 30, 2015 due to any such change in valuation. Although our sales of Twinlab stock in the first six months of 2015 generated
$3,375,260 (of which $120,000 was not actually received in cash until the third quarter), we did not record an overall net gain
on financial instruments on such sales, because the sales prices ($0.76 per share) were the same as the fair value we had determined for
our Twinlab stock and at which we were carrying the Twinlab stock on our books. The sales merely resulted in a transfer of unrealized
gain to realized gain.
We did not own any Twinlab securities in the
first six months of 2014.
Payroll. Payroll for
the six months periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $91,545 and $122,155, respectively; the decrease in 2015 was primarily
due to our change in business focus in March 2014. For most of the first quarter of 2014 our business focus was that of a financial
services company. We are holding the salaries of our most senior officers at very low levels.
Professional Fees. Professional
fees for the six months periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $601,594 and $185,522, respectively. The increase was primarily
due to legal fees for preparing documents for production as required by legal process, and accounting and legal fees related to
required restatements of financial statements and amendments of previous SEC periodic reports.
General and Administrative. General
and administrative expenses (excluding payroll expense and professional fees) for the six months periods ended June 30, 2015 and
2014 were $308,325 and $365,936, respectively; the decrease in 2015 was primarily due to our change in business focus in March
2014 and the absence of rent expense in April 2015. For most of the first quarter of 2014 our business focus was that of a financial
services company.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2015, we had $1,560,422 in cash
and cash equivalents, Twinlab securities owned which we recorded at a $14,154,841 fair value, and credit for $85,000 of deposits
given. There is no active liquid public market for our Twinlab securities. In addition, we had accounts receivable of
$120,000 with respect to sales of 157,895 of our Twinlab shares in June 2015; the fair value of those 157,895 shares is not included
in the $14,154,841 fair value figure. We collected all of these accounts receivable in July 2015.
In late June 2015, we accepted $400,000 cash
and the surrender of 200,000 shares of our outstanding common stock in exchange for the full satisfaction of the $600,000 principal
amount of and $18,411 of accrued interest on an unsecured promissory note which we had issued to an accredited investor on November
14, 2014. The scheduled maturity date of the promissory note had been December 29, 2015.
We anticipate obtaining additional financing
to fund operations through common stock offerings, sales of Twinlab stock and sales of future-acquired strategic investment securities,
to the extent available. There can be no assurance we will be successful in raising the necessary funds to execute our business
plan. The realization of cash proceeds, if any, on sales of our securities positions would likely be “bunchy,” unpredictable
and irregular. We can make no assurances and therefore we may incur operating losses and/or negative cash flows in one or more
future periods.
Our current intention is to use meaningful
amounts of any free cash flow we generate to make further partial exercises of the Series B Warrant, in order both to help Twinlab
maintain and grow its business (thereby benefiting the value of our remaining Twinlab securities), to avoid triggering the exercisability
of the Contingent Call Options (or to limit the number of Twinlab shares for which Twinlab could exercise the Contingent Call Options),
and to avoid or reduce the risk of in effect having a “short” position in Twinlab stock (as described in the following
paragraph).
The $9,973,684 warrant put option item on our
December 31, 2014 balance sheet arose from the contingent possibility that a Put Agreement obligation might arise in the future.
There was no such item on our June 30, 2015 balance sheet, because of our May 28, 2015 compromise agreement with Twinlab which
terminated the Put Agreement. However, the June 30, 2015 balance sheet included a $225,599 liability item arising from the contingent
possibility that the Contingent Call Options might become exercisable in the future and a $621,977 liability item arising from
the Third-Party Call Options we granted to certain accredited investors in connection with our 2015 sales of Twinlab common stock
to such investors. Our actual risk under the two types of options would be magnified if, due to sales of Twinlab common stock
and/or expiration of unexercised Series B Warrants, we do not have as many Twinlab shares and/or available Series B Warrants as
the number of shares we could be obliged to deliver under the options (i.e., to the extent we in effect are “short”
Twinlab shares). The expiration date of the Third-Party Call Options is a substantial number of months after the expiration of
the Series B Warrants. If we wish to avoid being “short” Twinlab shares in the manner just described, it may be necessary
for us to purchase and hold Twinlab shares through the expiration date of the Third-Party Call Options, which would tie up a large
amount of otherwise available cash. If insufficient cash is available for this purpose, it may be necessary for us to run the risk
of having what in effect is a short position.
The $5,098,070 deferred tax liability item
on our June 30, 2015 balance sheet represents the income taxes we would owe if we sold, during tax years in which our taxable
income levels were large enough to support such current income taxes, all the Twinlab securities which we held as of
June 30, 2015, at a price resulting in realization of all of the unrealized gain we recorded for such assets on our balance
sheet (based on our fair value assessment as of June 30, 2015. No such taxes would be actually payable unless and until after
we sell the Twinlab securities, and the amount of actual taxes payable would depend on the actual sales prices.
From time to time after October 28, 2014 our
controlling stockholder Darin Pastor has made advances and direct-payments to assist us in covering expenses; he is not obligated
to make any such advances and direct-payments and there can be no assurance that any such advances and direct-payments will continue.
In addition, the amounts of these advances and direct-payments are reimbursable to him upon his demand at any time. At June 30,
2015, $85,131 of such advances and direct-payments had not yet been reimbursed.
At June 30, 2015, the remaining balance on
the notes payable to Darin Pastor, which we assumed as part of our October 2014 transaction involving assets and liabilities of
the former Capstone Affluent Strategies, Inc., was $553,552, plus $12,954 of accrued but unpaid interest.
We remind readers that our prospects must be
considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by emerging companies. Also, our limited operating
history makes predictions of future operating results and cash needs difficult to ascertain.
The following table provides detailed information
about our net cash flow for the respective first six months of our 2015 and 2014 fiscal years.

Operating activities
Net cash provided by operating
activities was $1,549,776 for the first six months of 2015, despite our $2,134,972 after-tax net loss for that six months
period. Although our sales of Twinlab securities in the first six months of 2015 generated $3,255,260 in cash proceeds
(plus an additional $120,000 of accounts receivable, which were then collected in the third quarter), we did not record an
overall net gain on financial instruments on such sales, because the sales prices ($0.76 per share) were the same as
the fair value we had determined for our Twinlab stock and at which we were carrying the Twinlab stock on our books. In
addition, the $1,856,036 net change in unrealized gain on (i.e., additional net loss on) financial instruments and the
$826,456 net change in realized gain on (i.e., additional net loss on) financial instruments were noncash items.
Net cash used for operating activities was
$899,734 for the first six months period of 2014 (primarily due to our $656,084 net loss for that six months period).
Financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities in
the first six months of 2014 was attributable to capital raised through the issuance of our common stock.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements
that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition,
revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that
affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We
base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions, we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. See
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Notes to Financial Statements.
Item 3. Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
This item is not applicable,
as we are classified as a smaller reporting company.
Item 4. Controls and
Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls
and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under
the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s
rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities
Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2015 we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. The errors
which required the restatement of financial statements and the amendments of periodic reports, as reported and summarized in our
Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 13, 2014 (as amended on November 24, 2014) and in such amendments and as further stated
in the following paragraph of this item, were, in their judgment, not due to ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures.
Our Board of Directors concluded in November
2014 that the previously issued audited consolidated financial statements and other financial information contained in our initially-filed
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 failed to properly account for certain financial information. Consequently,
the Board concluded that for comparative purposes the previously issued unaudited financial statements and certain other financial
information contained in the initially-filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal periods ended June 30, 2013, September
30, 2013, March 31, 2014, and June 30, 2014, and our earnings releases and other financial communications after the filing of our
initially-filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, should no longer be relied upon.
We thereafter filed corrective amendments of
these periodic reports.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for preparing
our annual consolidated financial statements and for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.
Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as
a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and
effected by a company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
|
· |
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; |
|
· |
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and |
|
· |
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
All internal control systems, no matter how
well designed, have inherent limitations and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control
system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits
of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation
of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been
detected. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial
statement preparation and presentation.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of
our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2015. In making our assessment, we used the framework and criteria
set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated
Framework in 2014. Based on that assessment, our management has identified certain material weaknesses in our internal control
over financial reporting.
Our management concluded that as of June 30,
2015 our internal control over financial reporting was not effective, and that material weaknesses existed in the following areas
as of June 30, 2015:
(1) |
|
we do not employ full time in-house personnel with the technical knowledge to identify and address some of the reporting issues surrounding certain complex or non-routine transactions. With respect to material, complex and non-routine transactions, management has and will continue to seek guidance from third-party experts and/or consultants to gain a thorough understanding of these transactions; |
(2) |
|
we have inadequate segregation of duties consistent with the control objectives including but not limited to the disbursement process, transaction or account changes, and the performance of account reconciliations and approval; |
(3) |
|
we have ineffective controls over the period end financial disclosure and reporting process caused by reliance on third-party experts and/or consultants and insufficient accounting staff; and |
(4) |
|
we do not have a functioning audit committee of the Board of Directors and our Board of Directors, in its performance of the functions generally associated with audit committees, lacks a majority of (indeed, lacks any) independent members and lacks a majority of (indeed, lacks any) outside directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls, approvals and procedures. |
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
No substantial changes
in our internal control
over financial reporting
occurred during the second quarter of 2015 that
have materially affected, or
are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our
internal control over
financial reporting.
PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not a party to any material legal
proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
This item is not applicable, as
we are classified as a smaller reporting company. To better inform the readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, however,
we refer to the Risk Factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on April 30, 2015, and to certain other risks identified within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of
Proceeds
We made no unregistered sales of securities of our securities during
the quarter ended June 30, 2015.
On June 26, 2015, we entered into a Prepayment and Repurchase Agreement
with Thomas A. Tolworthy and accepted $400,000 cash and the surrender of 200,000 outstanding shares of our common stock in exchange
for the full satisfaction of the unsecured promissory note (with a $600,000 principal amount and $18,411 of accrued interest) which
he had issued to us on November 14, 2014.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.
Item 5. Other Information

THIRD-PARTY INVESTMENT UNITS PURCHASE
AGREEMENT
This THIRD-PARTY
INVESTMENT UNITS PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of ________, 2015, by and between Capstone
Financial Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Capstone”), and ___________ (the “Purchaser”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS,
as of June 1, 2015, Capstone owns or has the right to acquire more than 42,000,000 shares of common stock of Twinlab Consolidated

Shares”) at an exercise price of $1.00 cash per Restricted Share; and
WHEREAS,
Capstone desires to sell and deliver Units to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual promises, representations, warranties, and covenants hereinafter set
forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
1.
Purchase and Sale; Closing.
(a)
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase from Capstone and Capstone hereby
agrees to sell to the Purchaser _____ Units, each consisting of 1 Unrestricted Share and 1 (detachable) Option, in exchange for
$0.76 per Unit in cash (i.e., cashier’s check or a wire transfer to an account designated in writing by Capstone), for total
consideration of $______ cash for the Units.
(b)
The Purchaser’s payment in full for the Units shall take place at Capstone’s principal executive office
at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the second business day after the date of this Agreement (the “Payment Date”).
Upon such payment, the payment shall be nonrefundable, the Purchaser’s purchase shall be irrevocable and nonrescindable,
and Capstone’s obligation to deliver the Units as set forth herein shall be unconditional.
(c)
The delivery of the Units to the Purchaser shall take place at Capstone’s principal executive office at 1:00 p.m.
Eastern Time on the third business day after the Payment Date or as soon thereafter as practicable (the “Delivery Date”).
In the alternative, at Capstone’s option, delivery of the Units to the Purchaser shall take place by hand delivery (or delivery
by nationally recognized overnight express delivery service) to an office directed by the Purchaser for receipt on the Delivery
Date.
(d)
On the Delivery Date, Capstone shall (against the Purchaser’s prior payment in full on the Payment Date of the
purchase price for the Units) deliver to the Purchaser (i) either (A) a duly-executed Twinlab share certificate, free of restrictive
legend, representing all of the Unrestricted Shares and made out in the name of Capstone (the “Transfer Certificate”)
and a duly executed and Medallion-guaranty-stamped assignment separate from certificate, in form reasonably satisfactory to the
Purchaser, for the assignment and transfer of the Unrestricted Shares from Capstone to the Purchaser (the “Transfer
Certificate Stock Power”), or (B) a duly-executed Twinlab share certificate, free of restrictive legend, representing
the Unrestricted Shares and made out in the name of the Purchaser (the “New Certificate”),
and (ii) an Option Agreement in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, duly executed by Capstone, representing the Options.
(e)
If Capstone’s delivery on the Delivery Date under Section 1(d)((i)(A) above was of the Transfer Certificate and
the Transfer Certificate Stock Power, then Capstone shall have no further obligations hereunder (except as set forth in the following
sentence) with respect to the delivery of the Unrestricted Shares and the Purchaser shall have the responsibility to on or promptly
following the Delivery Date deliver the Transfer Certificate and the Transfer Certificate Stock Power to Twinlab, requesting that
Twinlab accordingly mark the Transfer Certificate “Cancelled,” and issue and deliver to the Purchaser a duly-executed
Twinlab share certificate, free of restrictive legend, registered in the Purchaser’s name representing the Unrestricted Shares
(and, if applicable, to issue and deliver to Capstone a duly-executed Twinlab share certificate registered in Capstone’s
name representing the remainder shares). The parties agree to take all reasonable efforts to cause Twinlab to take such requested
actions.
2.
Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Capstone that
each of the following statements is true and correct as of the date of this Agreement:
(a)
The Purchaser has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its provisions.
All action on the Purchaser’s part required for the lawful execution and delivery of this Agreement has been taken. Upon
its execution and delivery, this Agreement will be a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with
its terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application
affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights, and (ii) as limited by general principles of equity that restrict the availability
of equitable remedies.
(b)
The execution and delivery by the Purchaser of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transaction contemplated
hereby, will not (with or without due notice, lapse of time, or both) (i) conflict with or violate the provisions of any law or
any judgment, decree, order, regulation, arbitration award or rule of any court or governmental authority; or (ii) conflict with,
violate or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default or result in the acceleration
of any obligation under, or result in the cancellation or modification of, or permit termination of, any material agreement or
instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser is bound (or, if the Purchaser is an entity, of the Purchaser’s
charter documents).
(c)
The Purchaser is aware that the Units, the Options and the Restricted Shares have not been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and that the Options are and the Restricted Shares would
be deemed to constitute “restricted securities” under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule
144”). The Purchaser also understands that the Options and the Restricted Shares are being offered and are being/would
be sold pursuant to an
exemption from registration contained
in the Securities Act based in part upon the Purchaser’s representations contained in this Agreement.
(d)
The Purchaser understands that the Options and the Restricted Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently
registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Purchaser is aware of the provisions
of Rule 144, as in effect from time to time, which permit limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to
the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things, the availability of certain current public information about
Twinlab, the resale occurring following the required holding period under Rule 144, and the number of shares being sold during
any three month period not exceeding specified limitations. The Purchaser acknowledges that it will not be allowed to tack Capstone’s
holding period of the Options and/or the Restricted Shares to the Purchaser’s own holding period of the Restricted Shares
for Rule 144 purposes.
(e)
The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Options and the Restricted Shares are subject to restrictions on transfer
set forth in Section 4 hereof.
(f)
The Purchaser is obtaining/would obtain the Options and the Restricted Shares for investment purposes acting as a direct
principal investor for the Purchaser’s own account and the Purchaser has no present intention of distributing or selling
the Options and/or the Restricted Shares except as permitted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.
(g)
The Purchaser has sufficient knowledge and experience in business and financial matters to evaluate Twinlab, its proposed
activities and the risks and merits of this investment. The Purchaser has the ability to accept the high risk and lack of liquidity
inherent in this type of investment.
(h)
The Purchaser has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the purchase of the Units, the Options
and the Restricted Shares by virtue of its business or financial expertise.
(i)
The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined in the regulations under the Securities Act.
(j)
The Purchaser has had an opportunity to review Twinlab’s SEC filings and to discuss Twinlab’s business,
management and financial affairs with directors, officers and management of Twinlab. The Purchaser understands the significant
risks of this investment.
(k)
The Purchaser acknowledges that there is only very light public trading in Twinlab common stock, and the quoted or bid/asked
price of Twinlab common stock on the public market should not be taken as an indicator of the fair market value of Twinlab common
stock nor as an indication that any substantial amount of (or any amount at all of) Twinlab common stock could be bought or sold
by Capstone or the Purchaser on the public market at that or any other price.
(l)
The Purchaser has reviewed this Agreement in its entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of legal counsel
and financial and tax advisers before executing this Agreement and fully understands all provisions of this Agreement.
(m)
The Purchaser has incurred no obligation or liability, contingent or otherwise, for brokerage or finders’ fees
or agents’ commissions or any other similar payment in connection with this Agreement and will indemnify and hold
Capstone harmless from any such payment alleged to be due by or through the Purchaser as a result of the action of the Purchaser
or its agents.

following statements is true and correct as of the date of this Agreement:
(a)
Capstone has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its provisions.
All action on Capstone’s part required for the lawful execution and delivery of this Agreement has been taken. This Agreement,
when executed and delivered, will be a valid and binding obligation of Capstone enforceable in accordance with its terms, except
(i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting
enforcement of creditors’ rights, and (ii) general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies.
(b)
The execution and delivery by Capstone of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby,
will not (with or without due notice, lapse of time, or both) (i) conflict with or violate the provisions of any law or any judgment,
decree, order, regulation, arbitration award or rule of any court or governmental authority; (ii) conflict with, violate or result
in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default or result in the acceleration of any obligation
under, or result in the cancellation or modification of, or permit termination of, any material agreement or instrument to which
Capstone or Twinlab is a party or by which Capstone or Twinlab is bound; or (iii) conflict with or result in a breach of any provision
of Twinlab’s articles of incorporation.
(c)
The sale of the Units, the Unrestricted Shares, the Options and the Restricted Shares hereunder is not and will not
be subject to any rights of first offer or rights of first refusal that have not been properly waived or complied with as of the
date of such sale.
(d)
Capstone has had an opportunity to review Twinlab’s SEC filings and to discuss Twinlab’s business, management
and financial affairs with directors, officers and management of Twinlab.
(e)
Capstone acknowledges that there is only very light public trading in Twinlab common stock, and the quoted or bid/asked
price of Twinlab common stock on the public market should not be taken as an indicator of the fair market value of Twinlab common
stock nor as an indication that any substantial amount of (or any amount at all of) Twinlab common stock could be bought or sold
by Capstone or the Purchaser on the public market at that or any other price.
(f)

financial and tax advisers before executing this Agreement and fully understands all provisions of this Agreement.
(g)

commissions or any other similar payment in connection with this Agreement and will indemnify and hold the Purchaser harmless from
any such payment alleged to be due by or through Capstone as a result of the action of Capstone or its agents.
(h)
To Capstone’s actual knowledge, the authorized capital stock of Twinlab is as set forth in Twinlab’s SEC
filings and the outstanding capital stock of Twinlab is as set forth in Twinlab’s SEC filings.
(i)
Assuming the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations and warranties contained herein, the offer and sale of
the Units, the Unrestricted Shares, the Options and the Restricted Shares to the Purchaser will be exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, and will have been registered or qualified (or will be exempt from registration and qualification)
under the registration, permit or qualification requirements of all applicable state securities laws. Neither Capstone nor any
agent on its behalf has solicited or will solicit any offers to sell or has offered to sell or will offer to sell all or any Units,
Options, Restricted Shares or other shares of common stock of Twinlab to any person or persons so as to bring the sale of the Units,
Options and the Restricted Shares by Capstone to the Purchaser within the registration provisions of the Securities Act or any
state securities laws.
(j)
When registered in the name of the Purchaser, the Unrestricted Shares and the Options will be (and, upon due exercise
of the Options, the Restricted Shares would be) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and will be free of any liens or
encumbrances created by any action or inaction of Capstone; provided, however, that the Options and the Restricted Shares
may be subject to restrictions on transfer under Section 4 hereof, or under state and/or federal securities laws at the time a
transfer is proposed.
4.
Restrictions on Transfer.
(a)
The Purchaser hereby agrees (for the benefit of Capstone and also for the benefit of Twinlab as an intended third party
beneficiary) not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the (pre-detachment) Units, the Options and the Restricted Shares
unless and until:
(i)
There is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such
disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or
(ii)
(A) The Purchaser shall have notified Twinlab of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished Twinlab with a detailed
statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (B) if reasonably requested by Twinlab, the Purchaser
shall have furnished Twinlab with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to Twinlab, that such disposition will not require
registration of such shares under the Securities Act. It is expected that Twinlab will request opinions of counsel for transactions
made pursuant to Rule 144 except in unusual circumstances.
(b)
The Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees (for the benefit of Capstone and also for the benefit of Twinlab as an
intended third party beneficiary) that Twinlab shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any of the Restricted Shares
which shall have been sold or transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement or (ii) to treat as
the owner of such Restricted Shares or to accord the right to vote or to pay dividends to any transferee to whom such Restricted
Shares shall have been so sold or transferred in violation of any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement, and that Capstone
shall not be required (iii) to transfer on its books any of the Options which shall have been sold or transferred in violation
of any of the provisions set forth in this Agreement or (iv) to treat as the owner of such Options or to accord the right to exercise

representing the Restricted Shares shall have endorsed thereon the following legends (or legends to a similar effect):
(a)
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY
MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES
UNDER SAID ACT OR OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
(b)
Any legend required under applicable state securities laws.
6.
Miscellaneous.
(a)
Twinlab Neutrality. The parties expressly acknowledge that Twinlab has not recommended to Capstone or to the Purchaser
that Capstone or the Purchaser enter into this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby, is not guaranteeing or vouching
for the performance of any party, is not making any representation or warranty or covenant to any party in connection with this
Agreement, and wishes not to “take sides” between the parties or to undertake any duty to one party as against another.
Twinlab is not a party to this Agreement (although it is an express third-party beneficiary of certain provisions of this Agreement)
and is not bound by this Agreement. The purchase price for the Units, the Unrestricted Shares, the Options and the Restricted Shares
was determined by arms-length negotiation between Capstone and the Purchaser.

upon personal delivery or delivery by electronic mail or express courier, or three days after deposit with the United States Postal
Service, with postage prepaid, addressed to the other party hereto at its address or electronic mail number hereinafter shown below
its signature or at such other address as such party may designate by 10 days’ advance written notice to the other party
hereto.
(e)
Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
(f)
Successors and Assigns. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, this Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of and shall be binding upon the Purchaser, Capstone and their respective successors and assigns.
(g)
Entire Agreement; Nonreliance. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings, whether written or oral,
with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. No representations
or warranties have been made to the Purchaser by Capstone (or by Twinlab or anyone else) or to Capstone by the Purchaser (or by
Twinlab or anyone else) other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement, and each respective party hereby disclaims reliance
on any representations or warranties or other statements which may have been made to it by the other party (or by Twinlab or anyone
else) other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement.
(h)
Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the affected
portions of such provisions, or such provisions in their entirety, to the extent necessary, shall be severed from this Agreement,
and the balance of this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such portions/provisions were so excluded and shall be enforceable
in accordance with its terms.
(i)
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Either or both parties may execute this Agreement by scanned signature

accruing to any party, upon any breach, default or noncompliance by the other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such
right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach, default or noncompliance, or any acquiescence
therein, or of or in any similar breach, default or noncompliance thereafter occurring. It is further agreed that any waiver, permit,
consent or approval of any kind or character on any party’s part of any breach, default or noncompliance under this Agreement
or any waiver on such party’s part of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement must be in writing and shall be effective
only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, whether arising under this Agreement or by law or otherwise

Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Capstone”), up to _____ validly-issued, fully-paid and nonassessable shares
of the common stock (the “Restricted Shares”) of Twinlab Consolidated Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation
(“Twinlab”), at an exercise price of $1.00 per Restricted
Share (the "Option Price"), all as may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 3 of this Option,
subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth of this Option.
1.
TERM. This Option is exercisable, in whole or in part at any time commencing on the Issue Date and ending on the third
anniversary of the Issue Date, and the Option shall terminate upon such third anniversary of the Issue Date; provided, that
if before such third anniversary Twinlab or its business is acquired for or at a
value of less than $1.00 per share of Twinlab common stock, the Option shall terminate
immediately upon such acquisition.
(a)
Method of Exercise. Holder may exercise this Option by delivering this original Option and a duly executed
Notice of Exercise in substantially the form of Appendix 1, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, to
the principal office of Capstone. Holder shall also deliver to Capstone payment by wire transfer of immediately available United
States funds to an account designated by Capstone or by check for the aggregate Option Price for the Restricted Shares being purchased.
Exercise shall not be deemed effective unless and until each of the original Option, the duly executed Notice of Exercise and the
Option Price payment have been received by Capstone.
(b)
Delivery of Certificate and New Option. Promptly after (but within five
business days after) Holder exercises this Option, Capstone shall deliver to Holder certificates for the Restricted Shares acquired
and, if this Option has not been fully exercised and has not expired, a new Option of like tenor representing the Restricted Shares
not so acquired.
(c)
Replacement of Options. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Capstone of the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of this Option and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably
satisfactory in form and amount to Capstone or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Option, Capstone
at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Option, a new Option of like tenor.
| 3. | ADJUSTMENT TO THE RESTRICTED SHARES. |
(a)
Stock Dividends, Splits, Reverse Splits. If Twinlab subdivides or combines its outstanding common stock into
a greater or lesser amount of common stock, or pays a dividend of common stock on common stock, then upon exercise of this Option,
for each Restricted Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without extra cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities
to which Holder would have been entitled had Holder owned the Restricted Shares of record as of the date the subdivision, combination
(reverse split) or stock dividend occurred. The Option Price shall be adjusted accordingly.
(b)
Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. Upon any reclassification exchange, substitution, or other event
that results in a change of the number and/or class of the securities issuable upon exercise of this Option, or any reorganization,
consolidation, or merger of Twinlab or any sale, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the property or
business of Twinlab, Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Option, the number and kind of securities and property
that Holder would have received for the Restricted Shares if this Option had been exercised immediately before such reclassification,
exchange, substitution, or such reorganization, consolidation or merger, or such sale, conveyance or other disposition. Capstone
shall promptly issue to Holder, in exchange for this Option Agreement, a new replacement Option for such new securities or other
property. The new Option shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments
provided for in this Article 3 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Option Price and to the number of securities or
property issuable upon exercise of the new Option. The provisions of this Section 3(b) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications,
exchanges, substitutions, or to successive reorganizations, consolidations or mergers, or successive sales, conveyances or other
dispositions of all or substantially all of the property or business.
(c)
Fractional Shares. No fractional Restricted Shares shall be issuable upon exercise or conversion of
the Option and the number of Restricted Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Restricted Share. If fractional
share interest arises upon any exercise or conversion of the Option, Capstone shall eliminate such fractional share interest by
paying Holder an amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value of a full Restricted Share.
(d)
Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Option Price or the number of Restricted Shares issuable
upon the exercise of the Option, Capstone at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment, and furnish Holder with a certificate
of its Chief Financial Officer setting forth such adjustment and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Capstone shall,
upon written request, furnish Holder a certificate setting forth the new number of Restricted Shares issuable under the Option,
and if necessary, the Option Price in effect upon the date thereof and the series of adjustments leading to such change in the
number of Restricted Shares issuable under the Option and/or in the Option Price.
(a)
Third-Party Investment Units Purchase Agreement. This Option is issued pursuant to, and is subject to the
terms and conditions of, and the Restricted Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Option shall be subject to the terms and
conditions of, a Third-Party Investment Units Purchase Agreement entered into on or shortly before the Issue Date between Capstone
and Holder.
(b)
Twinlab Is Not a Party. Holder, by acceptance of this Option, acknowledges that Twinlab is not a party
to this Option and has no contractual obligations with respect to this Option.
(c)
Securities-Law Status. Holder, by acceptance of this Option, acknowledges that the Restricted Shares
have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, are “restricted securities” under the Securities Act of
1933 and shall bear a customary securities-law restrictive legend, and cannot be transferred by Holder except upon registration
thereof under the Securities Act of 1933 or an exemption from such registration.
(d)
Transfer of Option. Until actual delivery to Capstone’s principal office of this original Option
accompanied by a duly endorsed instrument of transfer in a form reasonably acceptable to Capstone, Capstone may treat Holder as
the sole record and beneficial holder of the Option for all purposes whatsoever, regardless of any notice given or received to
the contrary.
(e)
No Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise. This Option does not entitle Holder to any voting rights or other rights
as a stockholder of Twinlab before the Restricted Shares have been issued of record to Holder, which might not occur until the
fifth business day after the exercise hereof.
(f)
Notices. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given:
(a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed email if sent during normal business hours of
the recipient, if not, then on the next business day; (c) three business days after having been sent by registered or certified
mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (d) one business day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier,
specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to Capstone at its principal
place of business or to Holder at Holder’s address as shown in Capstone’s records, or to such other address as such
party may designate by ten days’ advance written notice to the other.
(g)
Amendment and Waiver. Any term of this Option may be amended or waived only with the written consent of Capstone
and the holder of the Option. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section shall be binding upon Capstone,
such holder and each and every transferee of the Option or Restricted Shares.
(h)
Governing Law. This Option shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New
York, without giving effect to its principles regarding conflicts of law.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Capstone
has executed this Option Agreement as of the date first above written.
