Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 10K filed for December 31, 2018 and the accompanying notes. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Significant Estimates — The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance for inventory obsolescence, the useful lives and values of property, fixtures and equipment, valuation of stock-based compensation, and deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

Segment Reporting — Although the Company has a number of operating divisions, separate segment data has not been presented, as they meet the criteria for aggregation as permitted by ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, Disclosed About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.)

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Our chief operating decision-maker is considered to be our Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The CEO reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The financial information reviewed by the CEO is identical to the information presented in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Therefore, the Company has determined that it operates in a single operating segment. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 all material assets and revenues of the Company where in the United States except as disclosed in Note 3.

Concentrations of Risk — Substantially all of the Company’s revenue derives from the sale of Celsius ® beverages.

The Company uses single supplier relationships for its raw materials purchases and filling capacity, which potentially subjects the Company to a concentration of business risk. If these suppliers had operational problems or ceased making product available to the Company, operations could be adversely affected.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high-quality financial institutions. At times, balances in the Company’s cash accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit. At June 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $4.3 million in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company had the following 10 percent or greater concentrations of revenue with its customers:

Revenues from customer A are derived from a customer located in United States and customer B are derived from a customer located in Sweden. Revenues from all other customers were mainly derived in the United States.

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had the following 10 percent or greater concentrations of accounts receivable with its customers:

Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any investments with maturities of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable — Accounts receivable are reported at net realizable value. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors pertaining to the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. Delinquent accounts are written-off when it is determined that the amounts are uncollectible. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there was an allowance for doubtful accounts of $252,325 and $183,000, respectively.

Inventories — Inventories include only the purchase cost and are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the FIFO method. Inventories consist of raw materials and finished products. The Company establishes an inventory allowance to reduce the value of the inventory during the period in which such materials and products are no longer usable or marketable. Specifically, the Company reviews inventory utilization during the past twelve months and also customer orders for subsequent months. If there has been no utilization during the last 12 months and there are no orders in-place in future months which will require the use of inventory item, then inventory item will be included as part of the allowance during the period being evaluated. Management will then specifically evaluate whether these items may be utilized within a reasonable time frame (e.g., 3 to 6 months). At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company recorded an allowance of $259,794 and $74,652 respectively. The changes in the allowance are included in cost of revenue.

Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset generally ranging from three to seven years.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — In accordance with ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment” the Company reviews the carrying value of intangibles and other long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair value.

Revenue Recognition — As of January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”). The new guidance sets forth a new five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance that have historically existed in U.S. GAAP. The underlying principle of the new standard is that a business or other organization will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services. The standard also requires more detailed disclosures and provides additional guidance for transactions that were not addressed completely in the prior accounting guidance. The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue is derived from the sale of beverages. The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. Product sales occur once control is transferred upon delivery to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods. The amount of consideration the Company receives and revenue the Company recognizes varies with changes in customer incentives the Company offers to its customers and their customers. Any discounts, slotting fees, sales incentives or similar arrangements with the customer are estimated at time of sale and deducted from revenue. Sales taxes and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.

Customer Advances — From time to time the Company requires prepayments for deposits in advance of delivery of products and/or production runs. Such amounts are initially recorded as customer advances. The Company recognizes such revenue as it is earned in accordance with revenue recognition policies.

Advertising Costs — Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company uses mainly radio, local sampling events, sponsorships, endorsements, and digital advertising. The Company incurred advertising expense of approximately $3.5 million and $6.3, during six months ending June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Research and Development — Research and development costs are charged to general and administrative expenses as incurred and consist primarily of consulting fees, raw material usage and test productions of beverages. The Company incurred expenses of $161,000 and $239,000 during the six months ending June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Foreign Currency Translation-Chinese Yuan Renminbi — The Company’s functional currency for our China operation is the Chinese Yuan or Renminbi (CNY). For financial reporting purposes, the Chinese Yuan has been translated into United States dollars ($) and/or (USD) as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Equity transactions are translated at each historical transaction date spot rate. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity as “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), as other comprehensive income (loss). There have been no significant fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of Chinese Yuan to USD after the balance sheet date.

As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, the exchange rates used to translate amounts in Chinese Yuan into USD for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements were as follows:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and notes payable approximates fair value due to their relative short-term maturity and market interest rates.

Fair Value Measurements - ASC 820 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. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

Other than these noted previously, the Company did not have any other assets or liabilities measured at fair value at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Income Taxes — The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provisions of ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach require the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized. The Company follows the provisions of the ASC 740 -10 related to, Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions. When tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any.

Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions are all highly certain of being upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.

The Company has adopted ASC 740-10-25 Definition of Settlement, which provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits and provides that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion of an examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax positions considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained based solely on the basis of its technical merits and the statute of limitations remains open. The Company’s tax returns for tax years in 2016 through 2018 remain subject to potential examination by the taxing authorities.

Earnings per Share — Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Under ASC 260-10-45-16, the calculation of diluted earnings per share, the numerator should be adjusted to add back any convertible dividends and the after-tax amount of interest recognized in the period associated with any convertible debt. The denominator should include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the common share equivalents attributable to convertible debt and stock options & warrants equate to 3,202,355 and 1,347,644 of potential additional shares of common stock respectively. The effects of dilutive instruments have been presented for the year-to-date net income as of June 30, 2019. Other periods presented do not reflect the dilutive shares, as the effects would be anti-dilutive due to the fact that losses are being reflected for those periods. Please refer to the below table for additional details:

Share-Based Payments — The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 718 “Compensation — Stock Compensation” and related interpretations. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at the fair value of the share-based payments. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the grants. On April 30, 2015, the Company adopted the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan. This plan is intended to provide incentives which will attract and retain highly competent persons at all levels as employees of the Company, as well as independent contractors providing consulting or advisory services to the Company, by providing them opportunities to acquire the Company’s common stock or to receive monetary payments based on the value of such shares pursuant to Awards issued. The 2015 Plan permits the grant of options and shares for up to 5,000,000 shares. In addition, there is a provision for an annual increase of 15% to the shares included under the plan, with the shares to be added on the first day of each calendar year, beginning on January 1, 2017. As of June 30, 2019, total shares available are 2,199,696.

Cost of Sales — Cost of sales consists of the cost of concentrates and or beverage bases, the costs of raw materials utilized in the manufacture of products, co-packing fees, repacking fees, in-bound & out-bound freight charges, as well as certain internal transfer costs, warehouse expenses incurred prior to the manufacture of the Company’s finished products, inventory allowance for excess & obsolete products and certain quality control costs. Raw materials account for the largest portion of the cost of sales. Raw materials include cans, bottles, other containers, flavors, ingredients and packaging materials.

Operating Expenses — Operating expenses include selling expenses such as warehousing expenses after manufacture, as well as expenses for advertising, samplings and in-store demonstrations costs, costs for merchandise displays, point-of-sale materials and premium items, sponsorship expenses, other marketing expenses and design expenses. Operating expenses also include such costs as payroll costs, travel costs, professional service fees (including legal fees), depreciation and other general and administrative costs.

Shipping and Handling Costs — Shipping and handling costs for freight expense on goods shipped are included in cost of sales. Freight expense on goods shipped for six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $2.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted after fiscal years beginning December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on our financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this update modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820. The ASU is effective for the Registrants for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

All new accounting pronouncements issued but not yet effective are not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position with the exception of the updated previously disclosed above, there have been no new accounting pronouncements not yet effective that have significance to our consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity — These financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. At June 30, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $63,197,392 which includes a net income available to common stockholders of $10,183,299 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. During the six months ending June 30, 2019 the Company net cash used in operating activities totaled $4,487,342.

In addition to cash flow from operations, our primary sources of working capital have been private placements of our securities and our credit facilities with CD Financial, LLC (“CD Financial”), an affiliate of a principal shareholder of the Company, as well as Charmnew Limited and Grieg International Limited. Charmnew Limited is an existing shareholder of record affiliated with Li Ka Shing, one of our principal shareholders. Grieg International Limited is an existing shareholder of record affiliated with Chau Hoi Shuen Solina, one of our principal shareholders.

If our sales volumes do not meet our projections, expenses exceed our expectations, our plans change, we may be unable to generate enough cash flow from operations to cover our working capital requirements. In such case, we may be required to adjust our business plan, by reducing marketing, lower our working capital requirements and reduce other expenses or seek additional financing.

The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. Product sales occur once control is transferred upon delivery to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods. The amount of consideration the Company receives and revenue the Company recognizes varies with changes in customer incentives the Company offers to its customers and their customers. Sales taxes and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.

Information about the Company’s net sales by geographical location for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

License Agreement

In January 2019, the Company entered into a license and repayment of investment agreement with Qifeng Food Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd (“Qifeng”). Under the agreement, Qifeng was granted the exclusive license rights to manufacture, market and commercialize Celsius branded products in China. The term of the agreement is 50 years, with annual royalty fees due from Qifeng after the end of each calendar year. The royalty fees are based on a percentage of Qifeng’s sales of Celsius branded products; however, the fees are fixed for the first five years of the agreement, totaling approximately $6.9 million, and then are subject to annual guaranteed minimums over the remaining term of the agreement.

Under the agreement, the Company grants Qifeng exclusive license rights and provides ongoing support in product development, brand promotion and technical expertise. The ongoing support is integral to the exclusive license rights and, as such, both of these represent a combined, single performance obligation. The transaction price consists of the guaranteed minimums and the variable royalty fees, all of which are allocated to the single performance obligation.

The Company recognizes revenue from the agreement over time because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits from the services. The Company uses the passage of time to measure progress towards satisfying its performance obligation because its efforts in providing the exclusive license rights and ongoing support occur on a generally even basis throughout the year. Total revenue recognized under the agreement was approximately $175,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and is reflected in the Company’s Asia reporting segment which was determined by the minimum royalties due during first year, as per the licensing agreement.

Inventories consist of the following at:

Prepaid expenses and other current assets total $3.6 million and $2.3 million, at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and consist mainly of prepaid advertising, prepaid insurance, prepaid slotting fees and net deposits on purchases.

Note receivable consists of the following at:

On January 1, 2019, the Company entered into a license and repayment of investment agreement with Qifeng Food Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd (“Qifeng”). Under the agreement, Qifeng will repay the market investment Celsius has made into China to date, over a five-year period, under an unsecured, interest-bearing note receivable (“Note”). The initial outstanding principal under the Note was approximately $12.2 million which is denominated in Chinese Renminbi (CNY) and was recorded as Other Income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amount recognized considered the net of the balances of the accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, as well as the marketing investments that were performed in the China market.

Scheduled principal payments plus accrued interest are due annually on March 31 of each year starting in 2020. The Note is recorded at amortized cost basis and accrues interest at a rate per annum equal to the weighted average of 5% of the outstanding principal up to $5 million and 2% of the outstanding principal above $5 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the weighted average interest rate was 3.21% and interest income was $192,000.

June 30, 2019

The Company assesses the Note for impairment periodically by evaluating whether it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all the contractual interest and principal payments as scheduled in the Note agreement, based on historical experience about Qifeng’s ability to pay, the current economic environment and other factors. If the Note is determined to be impaired, the impairment is measured based on the present value of the expected future cash flows under the Note, discounted at the Note’s effective interest rate. At June 30, 2019, the Note was not deemed to be impaired. However, a loss of $220,000 was recorded this quarter pertaining to assets, which are not related to the note receivable, but were reflected in the China subsidiary which will not be realized.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02 (ASU 2016-02), Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use (ROU) asset and lease liability in the balance sheet for all leases, including operating leases with terms of more than twelve months. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, as amended, effective January 1, 2019. We recognized a ROU asset and a corresponding lease liability measured based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments utilizing our incremental borrowing rate as the basis for our computations. As of January 1, 2019, we recognized right to use assets in the amount of $259,358 and a corresponding liability. The asset is being amortized over the life of the lease agreement. As of June 30, 2019, the value of the asset amounted to $188,624. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on our Statement of Operations or Statement of Cash flows.

The ROU represents our right to utilize the corresponding asset for the lease term and the related lease liability translates into an obligation to related to the lease payments. The operating lease liability as of June 30, 2019 amounted to $193,264 of which the short-term value amounted to $142,778 and the long-term portion was $50,516. Company entered into an office lease with a related party effective October 2015. The monthly rent amounts to $12,452 per month until October 2019 and then increases to $12,826 per month until the termination of the lease in October 2020. As of June 30, 2019, the remaining lease term is 16 months and the discount rate is 5%. Future annual minimum cash payments required under this operating type lease as of June 30, 2019 are as follows:

Property and equipment consist of the following at:

Depreciation expense amounted to $34,803 and $19,648 during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with CDS Ventures of South Florida, LLC (“CDS”) and CD Financial, LLC (“CD”). CDS and CD are limited liability companies which are affiliates of the Company’s principal shareholder. The Company issued 2,200 shares of its Series C Preferred Stock (the “Preferred C Shares”) in exchange for the conversion of a $550,000 short term loan from CDS and the conversion of $1,650,000 in indebtedness under the Company’s line of credit with CD (the “CD Line of Credit”). The Preferred C Shares are convertible into our common stock at the option of the holder thereof at a conversion price of $0.52 per share at any time until December 31, 2018, at which time they will automatically convert into shares of our common stock determined by dividing the liquidation preference of $1,000 per Preferred C Share by the conversion price then in effect. The conversion price is subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits and similar events. The Preferred C Shares accrue cumulative annual dividends at the rate of 6% per annum, payable by the issuance of additional Preferred C Shares. The holder of Preferred C Shares votes on an “as converted” basis, together with holders of common stock as a single class on all matters presented to shareholders for a vote, except as required by law.

In October 2017, the Company issued 383 Preferred C Shares valued at $383,000 in settlement of $383,000 in accrued preferred C dividends. As of December 31, 2018, $255,903 of dividends have been accrued and converted into 256 of additional Preferred C. The Preferred C Shares matured on December 31, 2018 and were exchanged for 5,806,022 shares of Company common stock.

On April 16, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment to its existing Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amendment”) with CD an affiliate of CDS Ventures and Mr. DeSantis. Pursuant to the Amendment, the outstanding principal amount of the CD note payable was reduced by $4.0 million, which amount was converted into 4,000 shares of a newly-designated Series D Preferred Stock (the “Preferred D Shares”). This related party was given a conversion price of $0.86 per common share, whereas other investors purchased common shares at $0.89 in the private placement, as discussed in note 12. The difference of $0.03 per share, which resulted in $139,535, was recorded as a dividend in accordance with ASC 470-20-35, subsequent measurement for debt with conversion and other options.

The Preferred D Shares are convertible into our common stock at the option of the holder thereof at a conversion price of $0.86 per share until the earlier of the January 2, 2021 due date of our note payable with CD Financial or such earlier date as the note payable is satisfied (the “Maturity Date”). The conversion price is subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits and similar events. The Preferred D Shares accrue cumulative annual cash dividends at the rate of 5% per annum, payable quarterly in cash and have a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. On the Maturity Date, the Preferred D Shares automatically convert into shares of our common stock in a number determined by dividing the $1,000 per Preferred D Share liquidation preference plus any accrued but unpaid dividends, by the conversion price then in effect. The Holder shall have the right, at its election, to require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the shares held by the holder in exchange for cash or common stock upon the occurrence of certain events which management believes are under the control of the Company. As of June 30, 2018, none of the contingent events have occurred and in accordance with ASC-480-10-25 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and Regulation S-X-Rule 5-02-27, the Company has classified these shares as permanent equity. The Preferred D Shares may also be redeemed by us at any time on or after December 31, 2017, at a redemption price equal to 104% of the liquidation preference. The holder of the Preferred D Shares votes on an “as converted” basis, together with holders of common stock as a single class on all matters presented to shareholders for a vote, except as required by law. In March 2018, the Preferred D shares were converted into 4,651,163 shares of common stock.

The Company’s office is rented from a company affiliated with CD Financial, LLC which is controlled by one of our major shareholders. Currently, the lease expires on October 2020 with monthly rent of $12,452. The rental fee is commensurate with other properties available in the market.

Other related party transactions are discussed in Notes 11 and 12.

Issuance of common stock pursuant to services performed

On July 19, 2018 the Company settled a legal matter that was filed in Superior Court of the State of California, Los Angeles County, by Statewide Beverage Company, Inc. (“Statewide”), a former distributor of the Company’s products. As part of the settlement the Company issued 60,000 shares of “restricted” stock, to the ten plaintiffs involved in the complaint for a total fair value of $279,600, or $4.66 per share, representing the closing stock price on the settlement date. The stock “restriction” pertains to the shareholders intention of using the shares for investment purposes only and not with a view to distribute or resell the shares or any part thereof or interest therein. However, the Stockholder’s rights allow for the selling or otherwise disposal of all or part of the shares pursuant to an exemption under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act”) and applicable state securities laws or pursuant to registration of the share under such laws.

Under the 2015 Stock Option Plan the Company has issued options to purchase approximately 5.46 million shares at an average price of $3.86 per share with a fair value of $5.79 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company issued options to purchase 1.4 million and 1.5 million shares. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized an expense of approximately $2,454,295 and $1,950,627 respectively, of non-cash compensation expense (included in General and Administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations) determined by application of a Black Scholes option pricing model with the following inputs: exercise price, dividend yields, risk-free interest rate, and expected annual volatility. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had approximately $7,754,122 of unrecognized pre-tax non-cash compensation expense, which the Company expects to recognize, based on a weighted-average period of 3 years. The Company used straight-line amortization of compensation expense over the two to three-year requisite service or vesting period of the grant. There are options to purchase approximately 2.59 million shares that are vested as of June 30, 2019.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the fair value of its stock option awards and warrant issuances. The calculation of the fair value of the awards using the Black - Scholes option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price on the date of grant as well as assumptions regarding the following:

The expected volatility was determined with reference to the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury rate in effect at the time of grant.

A summary of the status of the Company’s outstanding stock options as of June 30, 2019 and changes during the period ending on that date is as follows:

Restricted Stock Awards

Restricted stock awards are awards of common stock that are subject to restrictions on transfer and to a risk of forfeiture if the holder leaves the Company before the restrictions lapse. The holder of a restricted stock award is generally entitled at all times on and after the date of issuance of the restricted shares to exercise the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including the right to vote the shares. The value of stock awards that vest over time was established by the market price on the date of its grant. A summary of the Company’s restricted stock activity for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 is presented in the following table:

Unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding restricted stock awards to employees and directors as of June 30, 2019 was $81,201 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.67 years.

The Company has entered into distribution agreements with liquidated damages in the event the Company cancels the distribution agreements without cause. Cause has been defined in various ways. It is management’s belief that no such agreement has created any liability as of June 30, 2019.

On December 18, 2018, Rockstar, Inc. (“Rockstar”) filed suit against Celsius in federal district court in the District of Nevada. Rockstar’s complaint alleges three claims for relief: (a) false advertising in violation of 15 USC §1125(a); (b) violation of the Nevada Deceptive Trade Practice Act; and (c) Nevada common law unfair competition. On January 30, 2019, Celsius filed its answer to the complaint denying the allegations by Rockstar, and setting forth certain affirmative defenses. The action is in its initial stages and no discovery has taken place. Celsius believes that it has not committed the violations alleged, that it has strong defenses, and it intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims by Rockstar.

On April 8, 2019, Daniel Prescod filed suit against Celsius Holdings, Inc., Case No. 19STCV09321, pending in Superior Court for the State of California, County of Los Angeles (the “Prescod Litigation”). Daniel Prescod asserts that the Company’s use of citric acid in its products while simultaneously claiming “no preservatives” violates California Consumer Legal Remedies Act, California Business and Professions Code Section 17200, et seq., and California Business and Professions Code Section 17500, et seq., because citric acid acts as a preservative. The Company does not use citric acid as a preservative in its products, but rather as a flavoring, and therefore it believes that its “no preservatives” claim is fair and not deceptive. The Company intends to contest the claims vigorously. Since this matter is still in its initial stages, the Company is unable to predict the outcome at this time.

In addition to the foregoing, from time to time, we may become party to litigation or other legal proceedings that we consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our business.

Between July 1, 2019 and August 9, 2019, the Company issued an aggregate of 280,000 shares of its common stock pursuant to the exercise of stock options granted under the Company’s 2015 Stock Incentive Plan. The Company received cash in the amount of $65,700 for options exercised.

Business Overview

We are engaged in the development, marketing, sale and distribution of “functional” calorie-burning fitness beverages under the Celsius® brand name. According to multiple clinical studies we funded, a single serving of Celsius® burns 100 to 140 calories by increasing a consumer’s resting metabolism an average of 12% and providing sustained energy for up to a three-hour period. Our exercise focused studies show Celsius delivers additional benefits when consumed prior to exercise. The studies show benefits such as increase in fat burn, increase in lean muscle mass and increased endurance.

We seek to combine nutritional science with mainstream beverages by using our proprietary thermogenic (calorie-burning) MetaPlus® formulation, while fostering the goal of healthier everyday refreshment by being as natural as possible without the artificial preservatives often found in many energy drinks and sodas. Celsius® has no artificial preservatives, aspartame or high fructose corn syrup and is very low in sodium. Celsius® uses good-for-you ingredients and supplements such as green tea (EGCG), ginger, calcium, chromium, B vitamins and vitamin C. The main Celsius line of products are sweetened with sucralose, a sugar-derived sweetener that is found in Splenda®, which makes our beverages low-calorie and suitable for consumers whose sugar intake is restricted.

We have undertaken significant marketing efforts aimed at building brand awareness, including a wide variety of marketing vehicles such as television, radio, digital, social media, sponsorships, and magazine advertising. We also undertake various promotions at the retail level such as coupons and other discounts in addition to in-store sampling.

We do not directly manufacture our beverages, but instead outsource the manufacturing process to established third-party co-packers. We do, however, provide our co-packers with flavors, ingredient blends, cans and other raw materials for our beverages purchased by us from various suppliers.

Results of Operations

Three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to three months ended June 30, 2018

Revenue

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, revenue was approximately $16.1 million, an increase of $6.8 million or 73% from $9.3 million for same quarter in 2018. The revenue increase of 73% was attributable to continued strong growth of 69% in North American revenues, reflecting double digit growth from both existing accounts and new distribution expansion. European sales achieved 64% growth from the 2018 quarter to the 2019 quarter, primarily as a result of the launch of new flavors that have been very well accepted in those markets. Asian revenues for the 2019 quarter reflect the change in our China business model to a royalty and license fee arrangement, effective January 1, 2019 and our products gaining traction in other Asian markets during the 2019 quarter. The total increase in revenue from the 2018 quarter to the 2019 quarter was primarily attributable to an increase in sales volume, as opposed to increases in product pricing.

The following table sets forth the amount of revenues by segment and changes therein for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

Gross profit

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, gross profit increased by approximately $2.8 million or 70% to $6.9 million, from $4.0 million for the same quarter in 2018. Gross profit margins remained consistent at 42.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018. The increase in gross profit is mainly related to increase in sales volume from the 2018 quarter, as opposed to increases in product pricing.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were approximately $5.6 million, an increase of approximately $1.5 million or 37% from approximately $4.1 million in the same period in 2018. The increase is due primarily to trade show activities to support our expanded distribution network, as well as investment in marketing activities and employee resources. Additionally, the change in our China business model effective January 1, 2019, is also reflected in our 2019 quarterly results as direct marketing investments are no longer required by Celsius.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 were approximately $2.4 million, a decrease of approximately $708,000 or 23%, from $3.14 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to the fact that results for the 2018 quarter included an accrual of $945,000 pertaining to the settlement of a territorial dispute with a former distributor. Excluding this impact, general and administrative expenses actually reflected an increase of $237,195 from the 2018 quarter to the 2019 quarter, primarily related to increases in other legal costs, insurance, rent and employee costs.

Other income/(expense)

Total other expense increased by approximately $303,000 from the 2018 quarter to the 2019 quarter mainly related to amortization of discounts on notes payable of $93,000 and a loss of $220,000 related to China assets that will not be realized, partially offset by a reduction of interest expense in the amount of $10,000.

Net Income/(Loss)

As a result of the above, for the three months ended June 30, 2019, Celsius had net loss to common shareholders of approximately $1.5 million or $0.03 per share based on a weighted average of 57,336,117 shares outstanding. In comparison, for the three months ended June 30, 2018 we had net loss of approximately $3.3 million, and after giving effect to preferred stock dividends of approximately $43,000, a net loss available to common shareholders of $3.4 million or $0.07 per share based on a weighted average of 51,003,803 shares outstanding.

Six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to six months ended June 30, 2018

Revenue

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, revenue was approximately $30.6 million, an increase of $9.2 million or 43% from $21.4 million for the same period in 2018. The revenue increase of 43% was attributable in large part to continued strong growth of 55% in North American revenues, reflecting double digit growth in both existing accounts and new distribution expansion. European sales achieved 30% growth from the 2018 period to the 2019 period, primarily as a result of the launch of new flavors that have been very well accepted in the market. Asian revenues for the 2019 period reflect the change in our China business model to a royalty and license fee arrangement, effective January 1, 2019 and our products gaining traction in other Asian markets during the 2019 period. The total increase in revenue from the 2018 period to the 2019 period was primarily attributable to an increase in sales volume, as opposed to increases in product pricing.

The following table sets forth the amount of revenues by category and changes therein for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018: 

Gross profit

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, gross profit increased by approximately $3.9 million or 44.8% to $12.6 million from $8.7 million for the same period in 2018. Gross profit margins increased to 41.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from 40.9% in the same period in 2018. The increase in gross profit dollars and gross profit margins is mainly related to increase in volume, as opposed to increases in product pricing.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were approximately $9.2 million, a decrease of $584,500 or 6% from $9.7 million in the same period in 2018. The decrease is due primarily to the change in our China business model effective January 1, 2019, which no longer requires direct marketing investments by Celsius. The actual reduction in marketing investments from the 2018 period to the 2019 period of $2.8 million, was partially offset by increases in other sales expenses, including incremental spending in trade show activities to support our expanded distribution network of$1.11 million, storage and distribution costs of $417,400, employee costs of $417,100 and broker costs of $272,000.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were approximately $5.1 million, a decrease of $88,358, or 1.7%, from $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to the fact that results for the 2018 period included an accrual of $945,000 pertaining to the settlement of a territorial dispute with a former distributor. Excluding this impact, general and administrative expenses actually reflected an increase of $856,642 from the 2018 period to the 2019 period, primarily related to an increase in stock option expense of $503,668 for the six months ending June 30, 2019, as well as increases in legal costs, insurance, rent, professional fees and other employee costs.

Other Income/(expense)

Total other income increased by approximately $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, mainly related to the recognition of a note receivable from our Chinese licensee, who, in connection with the change in our China business model effective January 1, 2019, agreed to repay the market investment Celsius has made into China, over a five-year period, under an unsecured, interest-bearing promissory note.

Net Income/(Loss)

As a result of all of the above, for the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company had a net income of $10.2 million or $0.18 per share based on a weighted average of 57,267,622 shares outstanding, and after adding back interest expense on convertible notes of $243,000 and the amortization on discount on notes payable of $179,000, a diluted net income available to common shareholders of $10.6 million or $0.17 per share based on a weighted average of 61,817,621 shares outstanding. In comparison, for the six months ended June 30, 2018 we had net loss of approximately $6.2 million, and after giving effect to preferred stock dividends of approximately $126,000, a net loss available to common shareholders of $6.4 million or $0.13 per share based on a weighted average of 48,952,357 shares outstanding.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, we had cash of approximately $4.8 million and $7.7 million, respectively, and working capital of approximately $23.2 million and $19.6 million, respectively. Cash used in operations during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, totaled approximately $4.5 million and $5.8 million, respectively, reflecting investments in inventory, pre-payments and deposits and the settlement of marketing expenses related to the change in our China business model to a royalty and license fee arrangement.

In addition to cash flow from operations, our primary sources of working capital have been private placements of our securities and our credit facility with CD Financial, LLC (“CD Financial”), an affiliate of a principal shareholder of the Company.

We originally entered into a loan and security agreement with CD Financial in July 2010, which provided us with a line of credit to fund operations. As amended in connection with a private investment transaction consummated in April 2015, the loan and security agreement provided Celsius with a revolving line of credit pursuant to which Celsius can borrow up to an aggregate maximum of $4.5 million from time to time until maturity in January 2020. The credit facility requires quarterly cash payments of interest only at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum until maturity and is secured by a pledge of substantially all the Company’s assets. In December 2018, the Company amended and restated the note payable into a convertible loan agreement, as reflected below, continuing to carry a five percent per annum interest but payable semi-annually. As a result, of this substantial modification which was treated as a debt extinguishment, a new liability was established and a loss of $377,048 on the extinguishment of debt was recognized as of December 31, 2018.

The Company entered into Convertible Loan Agreements (the “Loan Agreements”) with Charmnew Limited (“Charmnew”) and Grieg International Limited (“Grieg”) on December 12, 2018, and with its affiliate CD Financial on December 14, 2018, providing for aggregate loans to the Company in principal amounts of US$3,000,000, US$2,000,000 and US$5,000,000. In connection with the Loan Agreements, the Company executed and delivered Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) in favor of each of Charmnew, Grieg and CD Financial. The Loan Agreement and Note entered into with CD Financial replaces the existing credit facility between the Company and CD Financial described above.

The other material terms and conditions of the loan transactions are as follows:

Our current operating plan for the next twelve (12) months indicates a sufficient financial condition and we do not contemplate obtaining additional financing. However, if our sales volumes do not meet our projections, expenses exceed our expectations, or our plans change, we may be unable to generate enough cash flow from operations to cover our working capital requirements. In such case, we may be required to adjust our business plan, by reducing marketing and other expenses or seek additional financing. There can be no assurance that such financing, if required, will be available on commercially reasonable terms if at all.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risks.

As a “smaller reporting company,” we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2019, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms adopted by the SEC, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial and accounting officer), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in that (a) we maintain records that in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (b) our records provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and board of directors; and (c) our records provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer do not expect that our disclosure controls or internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. Although our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our principal executive officer and our Chief Financial Officer have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at doing so, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that the objectives of the 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. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented if there exists in an individual a desire to do so. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
