1. BUSINESS ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Organization and Operations

Through its subsidiaries, Gaucho Group Holdings, Inc. (“Company”, “GGH”), a Delaware corporation that was incorporated on April 5, 1999, currently invests in, develops, and operates a collection of luxury assets, including real estate development, fine wines, and a boutique hotel in Argentina, as well as an e-commerce platform for the sale of high-end fashion and accessories.

As wholly owned subsidiaries of GGH, InvestProperty Group, LLC (“IPG”) and Algodon Global Properties, LLC (“AGP”) operate as holding companies that invest in, develop and operate global real estate and other lifestyle businesses such as wine production and distribution, golf, tennis, and restaurants.

GGH operates its properties through its ALGODON® brand. IPG and AGP have invested in two ALGODON® brand projects located in Argentina. The first project is Algodon Mansion, a Buenos Aires-based luxury boutique hotel property that opened in 2010 and is owned by the Company’s subsidiary, The Algodon – Recoleta, SRL (“TAR”). The second project is the redevelopment, expansion and repositioning of a Mendoza-based winery and golf resort property now called Algodon Wine Estates (“AWE”), the integration of adjoining wine producing properties, and the subdivision of a portion of this property for residential development. On February 3, 2022, the Company acquired additional real estate through the acquisition of 100% ownership in Hollywood Burger Argentina S.R.L., now Gaucho Development S.R.L. (“GDS”).

GGH also manufactures, distributes, and sells high-end luxury fashion and accessories through its subsidiary, Gaucho Group, Inc. (“GGI”). GGH held a 79% ownership interest in GGI through March 28, 2022, at which time GGH acquired the remaining 21% ownership interest in GGI. See Non-Controlling Interest, below.

On June 14, 2021, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Gaucho Ventures I – Las Vegas, LLC (“GVI”), and on June 17, 2021, Gaucho Group Holdings, Inc announced the signing of an agreement between GVI and LVH Holdings LLC (“LVH”) to develop a project in Las Vegas, Nevada. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has contributed total capital of $7.0 million to LVH and received 396 limited liability company interests, representing an 11.9% equity interest in LVH. See Note 14, Related Party Transactions.

Going Concern and Management’s Liquidity Plans

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had cash of approximately $261,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $624,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $12.3 million and used cash in operations of approximately $4,484,000. The Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately $107.9 million at September 30, 2022. Further, as of September 30, 2022, the Company has short-term convertible debt obligations of approximately $2.0 million and loans payable of approximately $235,000.

In the period following September 30, 2022 and prior to filing, the Company received aggregate cash proceeds of $1,051,500 upon the issuance of convertible promissory notes, pursuant to an offering of a series up to $1.5 million of 7% convertible promissory notes approved by the Board of Directors on October 22, 2022. The notes are convertible into units comprised of one share of common stock and one warrant for the purchase of common stock, at a conversion price equal to the lower of (a) $2.52 per share or (b) the three-day volume weighted average closing price beginning on the date that is two days prior to the conversion date, subject to a floor price on conversion of $2.40 per share. See Note 19, Subsequent Events for additional details.

On November 8, 2022, the Company entered into a new equity line of credit agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an Underwriter, pursuant to which the Company will have the ability (but not the obligation) to sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate of up to $44,308,369 of newly issued shares to the Underwriter, at a price equal to 95% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price per share during the three consecutive days immediately following the date that Company directs the Underwriter to purchase such shares. The commencement of the equity line of credit is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions in the Purchase Agreement. As of the date of this filing, these conditions have not been satisfied, and the Company is not yet able to sell securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. (See Note 19 – Subsequent Events, for further details.)

Management believes that the Company has access to capital resources and continues to evaluate additional financing opportunities. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will enable the Company to complete its development initiatives or attain profitable operations.

Based on current cash on hand and subsequent activity as described herein, the Company presently only has enough cash on hand to operate on a month-to-month basis. Because of the Company’s limited cash availability, its operations have been scaled back to the extent possible. Management continues to explore opportunities with third parties and related parties to provide additional capital; however, it has not entered into any agreement to provide the necessary capital. If the Company is not able to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, it may have to delay vendor payments and/or initiate cost reductions, which would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately, it could be forced to discontinue operations, liquidate assets and/or seek reorganization under the U.S. bankruptcy code.

Based upon projected revenues and expenses, the Company believes that it may not have sufficient funds to operate for the next twelve months from the date these financial statements are issued. The aforementioned factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Non-Controlling Interest

As a result of the 2019 conversion of certain convertible debt into shares of Gaucho Group, Inc. (“GGI”) common stock, GGI investors obtained a 21% ownership interest in GGI, which was recorded as a non-controlling interest. The profits and losses of GGI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and for the period from January 1, 2022 through March 28, 2022 are allocated between the controlling interest and the non-controlling interest in the same proportions as their membership interest. On March 28, 2022, the Company issued 86,899 shares of its common stock to the minority holders of GGI, in exchange for the remaining 21% ownership of GGI, such that as of September 30, 2022, the Company owns 100% of the outstanding common stock of GGI.

Further, on June 22, 2022, the Company issued an aggregate of 183,942 shares of its common stock in exchange for, and upon the cancellation of, options for the purchase of 458,542 shares of GGI common stock. On June 24, 2022, the Company also granted 26,278 restricted stock units, subject to vesting, with an aggregate of 13,139 shares vesting on September 18, 2022, and 13,139 shares vesting on December 18, 2022. See Note 16, Stockholders’ Equity, for additional details.

Risks and Uncertainties

In December 2019, the 2019 novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) surfaced in Wuhan, China. The World Health Organization declared the outbreak as a global pandemic in March 2020. resulting in the temporarily closure of our corporate office, and the temporary suspension of our hotel, restaurant, winery operations, golf and tennis operations, and our real estate development operations. Further, some outsourced factories from which Gaucho ordered products had closed, borders for importing product had been impacted and the Gaucho fulfillment center was also closed for several weeks. In response, the Company reduced its costs by negotiating out of its New York lease, renegotiating with vendors, and implementing salary reductions. The Company also created an e-commerce platform for our wine sales in response to the pandemic. As of the date of this report, the Company has resumed real estate development operations and has re-opened its winery and golf and tennis facilities, as well as its hotels.

The Company is continuing to monitor the outbreak of COVID-19 and the related business and travel restrictions, and changes to behavior intended to reduce its spread, and the related impact on the Company’s operations, financial position and cash flows, as well as the impact on its employees. Due to the rapid development and fluidity of this situation, the magnitude and duration of the pandemic and its impact on the Company’s future operations and liquidity is uncertain as of the date of this report. While there could ultimately be a material impact on operations and liquidity of the Company, at the time of issuance, the impact could not be determined.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2022 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. It is suggested that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 14, 2022.

On November 4, 2022, the Company effected a reverse stock split in a ratio of 1 share of common stock for 12 issued shares of common stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, prior period shares and per share amounts appearing in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and all references in this Quarterly Report to our common stock, as well as amounts per share of our common stock, have been retroactively restated as if the reverse stock split occurred at the beginning of the period presented.

The Company’s operating needs include the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. The Company’s future capital requirements and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many factors, including the Company’s ability to successfully commercialize its products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement its product and service offerings.

Highly Inflationary Status in Argentina

The Company recorded gains on foreign currency transactions of approximately $185,000 and $411,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and approximately $6,000 and $35,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30 2021, respectively, as a result of the net monetary liability position of its Argentine subsidiaries.

Concentrations

The Company maintains cash with major financial institutions. Cash held in US bank institutions is currently insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 at each institution. No similar insurance or guarantee exists for cash held in Argentina bank accounts. There were aggregate uninsured cash balances of approximately $141,000 at September 30, 2022, which consists of cash held in Argentine bank accounts.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASC Topic 606 provides a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers, and gains and losses arising from transfers of non-financial assets including sales of property and equipment, real estate, and intangible assets.

The Company earns revenues from the sale of real estate lots, as well as hospitality, food & beverage, other related services, and from the sale of clothing and accessories. The Company recognizes revenue when goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In determining when and how revenue is recognized from contracts with customers, the Company performs the following five-step analysis: (i) identification of contract with customer; (ii) determination of performance obligations; (iii) measurement of the transaction price; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

The following table summarizes the revenue recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations:

Total revenues	$	440,939	$	2,605,158	$	1,271,871	$	3,220,557

Revenue from the sale of food, wine, agricultural products, clothes and accessories is recorded when the customer obtains control of the goods purchased. Revenues from hospitality and other services are recognized as earned at the point in time that the related service is rendered, and the performance obligation has been satisfied. Revenues from gift card sales are recognized when the card is redeemed by the customer. The Company does not adjust revenue for the portion of gift card values that is not expected to be redeemed (“breakage”) due to the lack of historical data. Revenue from real estate lot sales is recorded when the lot is deeded, and legal ownership of the lot is transferred to the customer.

The timing of the Company’s revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by its customers. A receivable is recorded when revenue is recognized prior to payment and the Company has an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related services, the Company records deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied. Deferred revenues associated with real estate lot sale deposits are recognized as revenues (along with any outstanding balance) when the lot sale closes, and the deed is provided to the purchaser. Other deferred revenues primarily consist of deposits accepted by the Company in connection with agreements to sell barrels of wine, advance deposits received for grapes and other agricultural products, and hotel deposits. Wine barrel and agricultural product advance deposits are recognized as revenues (along with any outstanding balance) when the product is shipped to the purchaser. Hotel deposits are recognized as revenue upon occupancy of rooms, or the provision of services.

Contracts related to the sale of wine, agricultural products and hotel services have an original expected length of less than one year. The Company has elected not to disclose information about remaining performance obligations pertaining to contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, as permitted under the guidance.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had deferred revenue of approximately $1,182,000 and $622,000, respectively, associated with real estate lot sale deposits, approximately $75,000 and $91,000, respectively, related to hotel deposits and approximately $5,000 and $0, respectively, related to a leased property (See Note 10 – Deferred Revenue). Sales taxes and value added (“VAT”) taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented on a net basis within revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to GGH common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the impact of common shares, if dilutive, resulting from the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants and the conversion of convertible instruments.

The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

	2022		2021
	As of September 30,
	2022		2021
Options		46,752		48,975
Warrants		609,269		168,873
Unvested restricted stock units		28,628		-
Convertible debt		591,150		-
Total potentially dilutive shares		1,275,799		217,848

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On May 3, 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. This new standard provides clarification and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (such as warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2022 and it did not have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022. The reclassifications were made to the prior period amounts to conform to the current period financial statement presentation and had no impact on the reported results of operations.

3. ACQUISITION OF HOLLYWOOD BURGER ARGENTINA, S.R.L.

On February 3, 2022, the Company, through its subsidiaries, acquired 100% of Hollywood Burger Argentina S.R.L., now Gaucho Development S.R.L., (“GDS”) in exchange for issuing 106,952 shares of its common stock, valued at $2,194,653 at date of issuance, to Hollywood Burger Holdings, Inc, a company with whom GGH shares common management and ownership.

The acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition because substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired was represented by a group of similar assets. The total purchase consideration of $2,204,908 (including $10,255 of legal fees incurred in connection with the acquisition) was allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired as follows:


Land	$	1,528,134
Building		635,302
Cash		2,694
Prepaid expenses		674
Deferred tax credits		63,282
Accounts payable		(313	)
Taxes payable		(8,154	)
Related party payables		(10,686	)
Lease deposit payable		(6,025	)
Total	$	2,204,908

4. MORTGAGES RECEIVABLE

The Company offers loans to purchasers in connections with the sale of real estate lots. The loans bear interest at 7.2% per annum and terms generally range from eight to ten years. The loans are secured by a first mortgage lien on the property purchased by the borrower. Mortgages receivable includes the related interest receivable and are presented at amortized cost, less bad debt allowances, in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Management evaluates each loan individually on a quarterly basis, to assess collectability and estimate a reserve for past due amounts. The total allowance for uncollectable mortgages as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $219,115 and $203,996, respectively. Past due principal amounts of $203,097 and $143,152 are included in mortgages, receivable, current as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. In the case of each of the past due loans, the Company believes that the value of the collateral exceeds the outstanding balance on the loan, plus accrued interest.

The following is the maturities of mortgages receivable as of September 30, 2022:


October 1 through December 31, 2022	$	213,695
For the years ended December 31,
2023		343,301
2024		381,532
2025		409,927
2026		440,436
2027		473,215
Thereafter		1,573,512
Total	$	3,835,618

8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is 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. In determining fair value, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or developed by the Company. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1 - Valued based on quoted prices at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities trading in active markets. Financial instruments in this category generally include actively traded equity securities.

Level 2 - Valued based on (a) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (b) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; (c) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; or (d) from market corroborated inputs. Financial instruments in this category include certain corporate equities that are not actively traded or are otherwise restricted.

Level 3 - Valued based on valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs is not readily observable. Included in this category are certain corporate debt instruments, certain private equity investments, and certain commitments and guarantees.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s short-term financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, advances and loans to employees, prepaid taxes and expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s loans payable, debt obligations and convertible debt obligations approximate fair value, as they bear terms and conditions comparable to market, for obligations with similar terms and maturities.

On November 9, 2021, the Company sold senior secured convertible notes of the Company, in the aggregate original principal amount of $6,480,000 (the “GGH Notes”), for gross proceeds of $6,000,000. The GGH Notes are due and payable on the first anniversary of the issuance date (the “Maturity Date”), bear interest at 7% per annum and were originally convertible into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $42 (subject to adjustment for standard anti-dilution events).

The GGH Notes rank senior to all outstanding and future indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries and are secured by all existing and future assets of the Company, as well as shares of common stock and certain options to purchase common stock of the Company owned by the President and CEO of the Company. Holders of GGH Notes are entitled to certain registration rights, pursuant to a registration rights agreement between the holders of the GGH Notes and the Company, dated November 9, 2021.

Upon the issuance of the GGH Notes, the Company recorded a debt discount at issuance in the aggregate amount $950,813, consisting of (i) the $480,000 difference between the aggregate principal amount of the GGH Notes and the cash proceeds received, and (ii) financing costs in the aggregate amount of $446,813. The debt discount is being amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the GGH Notes.

The GGH Notes include several embedded features that require bifurcation. However, management has determined that the value of these bifurcated derivatives was de minimis as of November 3, 2021 (date of the agreement), December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022.

Pursuant to the original terms of the GGH Notes, beginning on February 7, 2022, the Company was to make nine monthly payments consisting of principal in the amount of $720,000, plus (i) accrued interest and (ii) a make-whole amount equal to the additional interest that would accrue if the entire GGH Notes principal remained outstanding through the Maturity Date. Holders of GGH Notes may convert any portion of outstanding and unpaid principal and interest at any time, subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation.

On February 22, 2022, the Company entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with holders of GGH Notes. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Company was able to defer monthly principal payments until May 7, 2022 and will make six monthly payments in the amount of $1,080,000, plus accrued interest and make-whole amount. As consideration for entering into the Exchange Agreement, $300 of aggregate principal amount the GGH Notes was exchanged for three-year warrants (the GGH Warrants”) for the purchase of an aggregate of 62,500 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $21.00 per share, which had an aggregate grant date value of $731,556. The Exchange Agreement was accounted for as a debt modification and the grant date value of the GGH Warrants was recorded as additional debt discount.

On May 2, 2022, the Company entered into a letter agreement with the holders of GGH Notes (the “Letter Agreement #1”). The Letter Agreement #1 provided for the reduction of the conversion price for shares of the Company’s common stock from $42.00 to $16.20 between May 3, 2022 through May 13, 2022. During the period from May 3, 2022 through May 11, 2022, principal, interest and fees in the amount of $357,498 were converted into 22,068 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $16.20 per share. The Company recorded inducement expense in the amount of $198,096 as a result of the conversion of debt and interest pursuant to the Letter Agreement.

On May 12, 2022, the Company entered into a conversion agreement with the holders of GGH Notes (the “Letter Agreement #2”) pursuant to which the parties agreed to reduce the Conversion Price to $11.40 and the holders of GGH Notes have committed to converting principal outstanding under the GGH Notes in an amount equal to 4.90% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. The reduction in conversion price was accounted for as debt extinguishment. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2,105,119, which consisted of (i) $421,272 to eliminate the debt discount related to the cancelled notes, plus (ii) $1,683,847, which represented the difference between the previous net carrying amount and the fair value of the modified debt instrument. On May 13, 2022 principal, interest and fees in the amount of $1,165,099 were converted into 102,202 shares of common stock at conversion price of $11.40 per share, of which 49,681 shares had been previously issued as pre-delivery shares on November 9, 2021 and the remaining 52,521 shares were issued on May 13, 2022.

The fair value of the modified debt instrument at the extinguishment date was determined to be $7,831,248, which consisted of principal in the amount of $6,147,401 and the fair value of the embedded conversion option (“ECO”) of $1,682,445. The fair value of the ECO was determined using the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model (which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement) with the following assumptions used: contractual term - 0.48 years; expected volatility – 61%; expected dividends – 0%. The fair value of the ECO was recorded as additional paid in capital.

On July 1, 2022, the Company entered into another letter agreement with the holders of GGH Notes (the “Letter Agreement #3”). The Letter Agreement #3 provided for the reduction of the conversion price for shares of the Company’s common stock from $11.40 to $3.60 between July 5, 2022 through September 5, 2022.

During the period from July 7 through August 30, 2022, GGH Notes with principal, interest and fees in the amount of $3,201,894 were converted into 889,415 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $3.60 per share. The Company recorded inducement expense in the amount of $2,965,222 as a result of the conversion of debt and interest pursuant to Letter Agreement #3.

During the period from July 13, 2022 through August 30, 2022, the Company issued convertible promissory notes to certain investors (the “Investor Notes”) in the aggregate amount of $1,727,500. Pursuant to the terms of the Investor Notes, if the stockholders approve for purposes of complying with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), the issuance of shares of up to 1,250,000 of the Company’s common stock upon the conversion of the Investor Notes, without giving effect to Nasdaq’s 20% Rule, the Investor Notes are to be automatically converted into units consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a price equal to the lesser of (a) $6.60 per unit or (b) the three-day volume weighted average closing price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock beginning on the date that is two days prior to stockholder approval of such conversion at the 2022 annual stockholder meeting.

At the annual stockholder meeting held on August 30, 2022, the Company obtained the requisite stockholder approval, and the Investor Notes comprised of $1,727,500 and $8,252 in interest, were automatically converted into an aggregate of 454,576 units based on a conversion price of $3.82– the three-day VWAP of the Company’s common stock beginning on the date that is two days prior to stockholder approval of such conversion at the 2022 annual stockholder meeting. Each warrant issued upon the conversion of the Investor Notes is exercisable at a price of $3.82 and expires one year from the date of issuance.

On September 22, 2022, the Company and the Holders of the GGH Notes entered into another exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement #2”) with the Holders in order to amend and waive certain provisions of the Existing Note Documents and exchange $300 in aggregate principal amount of the GGH Notes, on the basis and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Exchange Agreement, for three-year warrants to purchase up to 90,915 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.82. The Exchange Agreement amends the original terms of payment of the Existing Notes and waives payment of principal and interest due on each of September 7, 2022 and October 7, 2022. All principal, interest, and fees are due on the maturity date of November 9, 2022. The Exchange Agreement #2 was accounted for as a debt modification and the grant date fair value of the warrants valued at $102,167 was recorded as additional debt discount. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the GGH Notes are past due. As a result, the GGH Notes are now subject to a default interest rate of 18% per annum.

The Company incurred total interest expense of approximately $123,000 and $1,533,000 related to the GGH Notes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, including approximately (i) $104,000 and $318,000, respectively, of interest accrued at 7% per annum; (ii) the make-whole amount of approximately $1,000 and $137,000, respectively, and (iii) amortization of debt discount in the amount of approximately $17,000 and $1,079,000, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company paid interest in the amount of approximately $166,000, and converted interest in the amount of approximately $243,000 into shares of the Company’s common stock (see Note 16, Stockholders’ Equity), such that interest accrued on the GGH Notes is approximately $125,000 and $66,000 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

(See Note 7, Intangible Assets). On August 14, 2022, the closing price per share was $4.32. As a result, the Company issued 7,364 additional shares to the seller of the domain name.

The acquisition of the remaining shares of GGI resulted in a decrease of non-controlling interest to zero, and an adjustment to additional paid-in capital to reflect the Company’s increased ownership in GGI.

From April 19, 2022 through June 6, 2022, the Company sold 50,049 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $555,811 less cash offering costs of $44,465, in connection with a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an underwriter (the “Underwriter”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right to sell to the Underwriter up to $50,000,000 (the “Total Commitment”) in shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The Company has the right, but not the obligation, to direct the Underwriter to purchase up to a fixed maximum amount of shares of Common Stock as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, from time to time over a 36 month period beginning May 6, 2021. At any time when the Company’s common stock is trading below $1.00 on the Nasdaq, the Company is unable to direct the Underwriter to purchase any number of shares.

(See Note 1, Business Organization, Nature of Operations and Risks and Uncertainties, Non-Controlling Interest). As of the date of this exchange, the value of the cancelled GGI options approximated the value of the common stock and restricted stock units issued to the GGI Option holders. As a result, unamortized value of the cancelled GGI options as of the date of the exchange will continue to amortize over the remaining vesting period. The restricted stock units vest quarterly, with 13,139 shares vesting on September 18, 2022, and 13,139 shares vesting on December 18, 2022.

On August 30, 2022, the Company obtained the requisite stockholder approval, and the Investor Notes comprised of $1,727,500 and $8,252 in interest, were automatically converted into an aggregate of 454,576 units based on a conversion price of $3.82.

17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Matters

The Company is involved in litigation and arbitrations from time to time in the ordinary course of business. After consulting legal counsel, the Company does not believe that the outcome of any such pending or threatened litigation will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. However, as is inherent in legal proceedings, there is a risk that an unpredictable decision adverse to the Company could be reached. The Company records legal costs associated with loss contingencies as incurred. Settlements are accrued when, and if, they become probable and estimable.

During July 2022, the Company became aware of a demand letter and draft complaint alleging breach of contract from a current stockholder regarding the stockholder vote required to amend the Certificate of Designation of the Series B Convertible Preferred Shares. No complaint has been filed at this time, and the Company is reviewing the allegations to determine if any action is warranted.

Item 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included herein. In connection with, and because we desire to take advantage of, the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution readers regarding certain forward-looking statements in the following discussion and elsewhere in this report and in any other statement made by, or on our behalf, whether or not in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments. Forward looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on our behalf. Words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements.

Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this document to “GGH”, “we”, “our”, “us” or the “Company” are to Gaucho Group Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Please note that because we qualify as an emerging growth company and as a smaller reporting company, we have elected to follow the smaller reporting company rules in preparing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

Gaucho Group Holdings, Inc. (“GGH” or the “Company”) positions its e-commerce leather goods, accessories, and fashion brand, Gaucho – Buenos Aires™, as one of luxury, creating a platform for the global consumer to access their piece of Argentine style and high-end products. With a concentration on leather goods, ready-to-wear and accessories, this is the luxury brand in which Argentina finds its contemporary expression. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company launched Gaucho Casa, a Home & Living line of luxury textiles and home accessories, which is marketed and sold on the Gaucho – Buenos Aires e-commerce platform, as well as in the Company’s flagship retail store in Miami, Florida, which opened in July, 2022. Gaucho Casa challenges traditional lifestyle collections with its luxury textiles and home accessories rooted in the singular spirit of the gaucho aesthetic. GGH seeks to grow its direct-to-consumer online products to global markets in the United States, Asia, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Argentina. We intend to focus on e-commerce and scalability of the Gaucho – Buenos Aires and Gaucho Casa brands, as real estate in Argentina is politically sensitive.

GGH’s goal is to become recognized as the LVMH (“Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy”) of South America’s leading luxury brands. Through one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, GGH also owns and operates legacy investments in the boutique hotel, hospitality and luxury vineyard property markets. This includes a golf, tennis and wellness resort, as well as an award winning, wine production company concentrating on Malbecs and Malbec blends. Utilizing these wines as its ambassador, GGH seeks to further develop its legacy real estate, which includes developing residential vineyard lots located within its resort.

Due to COVID-19, we have terminated the corporate office lease and senior management works remotely. GGH’s local operations are managed by professional staff with substantial hotel, hospitality and resort experience in Buenos Aires and San Rafael, Argentina.

Recent Developments and Trends

On May 26, 2022, the Company announced the completion of its winery’s multi-year expansion and infrastructure improvement initiative, which resulted in a larger and better equipped facility to produce premium quality, small batch wines. Algodon’s current winery capacity includes 485,000 liters (or approximately 546,000 bottle equivalent), which can be broken down to include tank storage of 280,000 liters, barrel storage of 135,000 storage, and 70,000 liters of bottle storage.

On June 7, 2022, we executed a Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of LVH Holdings LLC (“LVH”) to modify the rules for distributions to the members of LVH, and modify the number, amount and timing of our additional capital contributions to LVH.

On July 12, 2022, GGI opened its U.S. flagship retail space in Miami, Florida, for the sale of fashion, accessories, luxury textiles and home goods.

On November 4, 2022, the Company effected a reverse stock split in a ratio of 1 share of common stock for 12 issued shares of common stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, prior period shares and per share amounts appearing in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and all references in this Quarterly Report to our common stock, as well as the amounts per share of our common stock, have been retroactively restated as if the reverse stock split occurred at the beginning of the period presented.

See also Items 2 and 5 of Part II below.

The global impact of COVID-19 and its variants (“COVID-19”) pandemic continues to evolve. We continue to closely monitor the outbreak of COVID-19 and the related business and travel restrictions, and changes to behavior intended to reduce its spread, and the related impact on our operations, financial position and cash flows, as well as the impact on our employees. Due to the rapid development and fluidity of this situation, the magnitude and duration of the pandemic and its impact our future operations and liquidity remains uncertain as of the date of this report.

We have faced, and may continue to face, significant cost inflation, specifically in raw materials and other supply chain costs due to increased demand for raw materials and the broad disruption of the global supply chain associated with the impact of COVID-19. International conflicts or other geopolitical events, including the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, may further contribute to increased supply chain costs due to shortages in raw materials, increased costs for transportation and energy, disruptions in supply chains, and heightened inflation. Further escalation of geopolitical tensions may also lead to changes to foreign exchange rates and financial markets, any of which may adversely affect our business and supply chain, and consequently our results of operation. While there could ultimately be a material impact on operations and liquidity of the Company, at the time of issuance, the impact could not be determined.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As reflected in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we have generated significant losses which have resulted in a total accumulated deficit of approximately $107.9 million at September 30, 2022, raising substantial doubt that we will be able to continue operations as a going concern.

Our ability to execute our business plan is dependent upon our generating cash flow and obtaining additional debt or equity capital sufficient to fund operations. If we can obtain additional debt or equity capital (of which there can be no assurance), we hope to acquire additional management as well as increase the marketing of our products and continue the development of our real estate holdings.

On November 8, 2022, we entered into a new equity line of credit agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an Underwriter, pursuant to which we will have the ability (but not the obligation) to sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate of up to $44,308,369 of newly issued shares to the Underwriter, at a price equal to 95% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price per share during the three consecutive days immediately following the date we direct the Underwriter to purchase such shares. The commencement of the equity line of credit is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions in the Purchase Agreement. As of the date of this filing, these conditions have not been satisfied, and we are not yet able to sell securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

Our business strategy may not be successful in addressing our liquidity issues and there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any additional capital. If we cannot execute our business plan on a timely basis (including acquiring additional capital), our stockholders may lose their entire investment in us, because we may have to delay vendor payments and/or initiate cost reductions and possibly sell certain company assets, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and we could ultimately be forced to discontinue our operations, liquidate and/or seek reorganization under the U.S. bankruptcy code. The conditions outlined above indicate that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statement issuance date.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplate our continuation as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to three months ended September 30, 2021

Overview

We reported net loss of approximately $4,726,000 and net income of approximately $931,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Revenues

Revenues from operations were approximately $441,000 and $2,605,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, reflecting a decline of approximately $2,164,000 or 83%. The decline in revenues is primarily due to the reduction of lot sales of approximately $2,534,000 over the same quarter last year. Partially offsetting the decline in lot sales is an improvement in hotel, wine, restaurant and clothing sales of approximately $420,000 in the aggregate. The improvement in sales in the aforementioned areas results from the easing of COVID restrictions and the Argentine government’s efforts to promote tourism and revitalize local businesses by subsidizing a portion of sales. Approximately $70,000 of the quarter over quarter fluctuation results from the impact of the decline in the value of the Argentine peso vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar. All other fluctuations are immaterial individually and in the aggregate.

Gross profit

We generated a gross profit of approximately $7,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and a gross profit of approximately $2,395,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, representing a decline of approximately $2,388,000. Gross profit declined primarily due to the decrease in lot sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022. There were approximately $2.5 million in lot sales for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and no such sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Cost of sales, which consists of real estate lots, raw materials, direct labor and indirect labor associated with our business activities, rose by approximately $224,000 from approximately $210,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 to approximately $434,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in cost of sales primarily resulted from the inventory valuation write-down of approximately $116,000, an increase in hotel and restaurant payroll costs of approximately $202,000 and an increase in costs associated with wine, clothing and other sales of approximately $68,000, which corresponds to the increase in the related revenues as discussed above. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of approximately $86,000 related to costs associated with the lot sales that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2021, and a decrease of $76,000 resulting from the impact of the decline in the value of the Argentine peso vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar.

Selling and marketing expenses

Selling and marketing expenses were approximately $109,000 and $101,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing an increase of $8,000 or 8%, primarily related to promoting the Company in new markets, as well as advertising and marketing expenses for GGI’s new retail space.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses were approximately $1,729,000 and $1,371,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing an increase of approximately $358,000 or 26%. The increase is primarily attributed to (i) an increase of approximately $216,000 in staff payroll including stock compensation; (ii) approximately $90,000 in board compensation including stock compensation; (iii) an increase in occupancy costs related to GGI’s new retail space of approximately $50,000; (iv) an increase in taxes and tax reserve allowances of approximately $39,000; (v) an increase in travel expenses of approximately $38,000; (vi) an increase in delivery fees of approximately $34,000; and (vii) an increase of approximately $30,000 in regulatory and filing fees. The increases in expenses were partially offset by (viii) a decrease of approximately $89,000 in insurance expenses; and (ix) a decrease of approximately $74,000 resulting from the impact of the decline in the value of the Argentine peso vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar. All other fluctuations are immaterial individually and in the aggregate.

Depreciation and amortization expense

Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $84,000 and $36,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing an increase of $48,000 or 133%, related to new asset purchases.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net was approximately $106,000 and $50,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing an increase of approximately $56,000 or 112%. The increase is the result of accrued interest, and amortization of debt discount related to convertible debt issued in November of 2021.

Other income (expense)

Other income of approximately $75,000 and $88,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 represents the management fee received from LVH. Gains from foreign currency translation were approximately $185,000 and $6,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, resulting from the net monetary position of our Argentine subsidiaries. Additionally, the inducement expense of approximately $2,965,000 is related to reductions in the conversion price on the convertible debt during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 (see Note 12 – Convertible Debt Obligations).

Nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2021

Overview

We reported a net loss of approximately $12.3 million and $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Revenues

Revenues from operations were approximately $1,272,000 and $3,221,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, reflecting an decrease of approximately $1,949,000 or 61%. The decline in revenue is primarily due to a decrease in lot sales of approximately $2,463,000. The decrease in lot sales was partially offset by increases in hotel, agricultural, wine, clothing and other sales of approximately $829,000, in the aggregate. The increases in sales in these areas results from the easing of COVID restrictions and the Argentine government’s efforts to promote tourism and revitalize local businesses by subsidizing a portion of sales. The decrease in revenue is compounded from the impact of approximately $301,000 resulting from the decline in the value of the Argentine peso vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar. All other fluctuations are immaterial individually and in the aggregate.

Gross profit

We generated a gross profit of approximately $66,000 and $2,571,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing a decrease of approximately $2,505,000. Gross profit declined primarily due to the decrease in lot sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. There were approximately $2,647,000 in lot sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and approximately $185,000 in lot sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Cost of sales, which consists of real estate lots, raw materials, direct labor and indirect labor associated with our business activities, increased by approximately $556,000 from approximately $650,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to approximately $1,206,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in cost of sales is associated to the corresponding increase in hotel, agricultural, wine, clothing and other sales of approximately $839,000 and an increase of approximately $116,000 related to an inventory valuation write-down, partially offset by a decline in costs associated with the lot sales of approximately $91,000 and a decrease of approximately $308,000 resulting from the impact of the decline in the value of the Argentine peso vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar.

Selling and marketing expenses

Selling and marketing expenses were approximately $614,000 and $336,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing an increase of approximately $279,000 or 83%, primarily related to promoting the Company in new markets, as well as advertising and marketing expenses for GGI’s new retail space.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses were approximately $5,403,000 and $3,935,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing an increase of approximately $1,468,000 or 37%. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily attributed to (i) $692,000 increase related to compensation to the Company’s Board of Directors (consisting of approximately $594,000 in stock compensation and approximately $98,000 of cash compensation); (ii) an increase of staff payroll of approximately $250,000; (iii) an increase of approximately $326,000 in professional and consulting fees; (iv) $179,000 in travel expenses related to investor activity; (v) an increase in occupancy charges of approximately $139,000 in connection with GGI’s new retail space; (vi) an increase in taxes and tax reserve allowances of approximately $163,000; (vii) an increase of approximately $112,000 in regulatory and filing fees, and (viii) an increase of approximately $72,000 in delivery fees. The increases in general and administrative expenses were partially offset by (ix) a decrease in insurance expenses of $149,000, and (x) approximately $378,000 resulting from the impact of the decline in the value of the Argentine peso vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar. All other fluctuations are immaterial individually and in the aggregate.

Depreciation and amortization expense

Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $179,000 and $104,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing an increase of $75,000 or 72%, related to new asset purchases.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net was approximately $1,528,000 and $88,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing an increase of $1,440,000. The increase is the result of accrued interest, and amortization of debt discount related to convertible debt issued in November of 2021.

Other income (expense)

Other income of approximately $225,000 and $88,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, represents the management fee received from LVH. The loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $2.1 million and inducement expense of approximately $3.2 million are related to reductions in the conversion price on the convertible debt during the 2^nd and 3^rd quarters (see Note 12 – Convertible Debt Obligations). In addition, gains from foreign currency translation were approximately $411,000 and $35,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as the result of the net monetary liability position of our Argentine subsidiaries. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized a gain on forgiveness of PPP Loan of approximately $242,000. No such gain was recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We measure our liquidity a variety of ways, including the following:

	September 30, 2022			December 31, 2021
		(unaudited)
Cash	$	260,984		$	3,649,407
Working Capital (Deficiency)	$	(624,498	)	$	(790,334	)
Loans Payable	$	234,638		$	317,356
Debt Obligations	$	-		$	7,000
Convertible Debt Obligations	$	1,998,209		$	6,480,000

Based upon our working capital deficiency as of September 30, 2022, we require additional equity and/or debt financing in order to sustain operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Cash requirements for our current liabilities include approximately $1.7 million for accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximately $197,000 for lease liabilities, approximately $143,000 for loans payable, and approximately $89,000 for debt obligations and other current liabilities. We also have short-term convertible debt obligations of approximately $2.0 million. Cash requirements for our long-term liabilities include approximately $1.4 million for operating lease liabilities, approximately $85,000 related to a payment plan for Argentine payroll taxes, and approximately $92,000 for loans payable.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we financed our activities from proceeds derived from the sale of common stock during the period, and from debt and equity financings occurring in prior periods. A significant portion of the funds have been used to cover working capital needs and personnel, office expenses and various consulting and professional fees.

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 amounted to approximately $4,484,000 and $5,662,000, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the net loss of approximately $12.3 million adjusted for approximately $7,392,000 of net non-cash expenses, and approximately $414,000 of cash provided by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the net cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to the net loss of approximately $1,527,000 adjusted for approximately $577,000 of net non-cash expenses, and approximately $4,712,000 of cash used to fund changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities.

Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 amounted to approximately $1,959,000 and $4,140,000, respectively, of which $1,916,000 and $640,000, respectively, related to the purchase of property and equipment, $0 and $3.5 million, respectively, related to the purchase of investment in LVH, $35,000 and $0, respectively, related to the purchase of the Gaucho.com domain name and $7,560 and $0, respectively, related to net cash used for the purchase of GDS.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, amounted to approximately $2,150,000 and $12,170,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the net cash provided by financing activities resulted from approximately $1,727,500 of proceeds from debt issued in private placement, $511,000 of proceeds from the issuance of common stock, net of offering costs, partially offset by loan repayments of approximately $81,000 and repayment of debt obligations of $7,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the net cash provided by financing activities resulted from approximately $7,287,000 of proceeds provided by the sale of common stock and warrants in a public offering, approximately $3,746,000 of proceeds provided by the sales of common stock, $1,647,000 of proceeds from the exercise of warrants, and $439,000 from the proceeds from the sale of common stock and warrants to accredited investors, partially offset by debt and loan repayments of approximately $259,000 and payments of offering costs related to the public offering and the Common Stock Purchase Agreement of approximately $690,000.

Going Concern and Management’s Liquidity Plans

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As discussed in Note 2 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, we have not achieved a sufficient level of revenues to support our business and development activities and have suffered substantial recurring losses from operations since our inception. These conditions raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue operations as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we were unable to continue as a going concern.

Based on current cash on hand and subsequent activity as described herein, our cash-on-hand only allows us to operate our business operations on a month-to-month basis. Because of our limited cash availability, we have scaled back our operations to the extent possible. While we are exploring opportunities with third parties and related parties to provide some or all of the capital we need, we have not entered into any agreement to provide us with the necessary capital. Historically, we have been successful in raising funds to support our capital needs. If we are unable to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, we may have to delay vendor payments and/or initiate cost reductions, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately, we could be forced to discontinue our operations, liquidate assets and/or seek reorganization under the U.S. bankruptcy code.

Availability of Additional Funds

As a result of our financings, we have been able to sustain operations. However, we will need to raise additional capital in order to meet our future liquidity needs for operating expenses and capital expenditures, including GGI inventory production, continued development of the GGI e-commerce platform, expansion of our winery and additional investments in real estate development. If we are unable to obtain adequate funds on reasonable terms, we may be required to significantly curtail or discontinue operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Contractual Obligations

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information requested by paragraph (a)(5) of this Item.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There are no material changes from the critical accounting policies, estimates and new accounting pronouncements set forth in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 12, 2021. Please refer to that document for disclosures regarding the critical accounting policies related to our business.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (who is our Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (who is our Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer), of the effectiveness of the design of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2022, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations of Controls

Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. Controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. 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 a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or deterioration in the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates are subject to litigation and arbitration claims incidental to its business. Such claims may not be covered by its insurance coverage, and even if they are, if claims against GGH and its subsidiaries are successful, they may exceed the limits of applicable insurance coverage. We are not involved in any litigation that we believe is likely, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

As reported on our Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on July 15, 2022, the Company became aware of a demand letter and draft complaint alleging breach of contract from a current stockholder regarding the stockholder vote required to amend the Certificate of Designation of the Series B Convertible Preferred Shares. To the Company’s knowledge, no complaint has been filed at this time. The Company is monitoring the situation to determine if any action is warranted.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this Item. However, our current risk factors are set forth in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A as filed with the SEC on May 19, 2022 and in Item 1A of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as filed with the SEC on August 15, 2022.

Our failure to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements could result in the delisting of our common stock.

Our common stock is currently listed for trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market. We must satisfy the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (or Nasdaq), to maintain the listing of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

On July 14, 2022, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market notifying the Company that, for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock was trading below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Bid Price Requirement”). The notification has no immediate effect on the Company’s Nasdaq listing and the Company’s common stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “VINO.”

In accordance with Nasdaq Rules, the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until January 10, 2023 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. If at any time before the Compliance Date the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock is at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff will provide the Company written confirmation of compliance with the Bid Price Requirement.

On November 4, 2022, the Company effected a reverse stock split in a ratio of 1 share of common stock for 12 previously issued shares of common stock. The closing price on November 4, 2022 was $1.88. The Company regained compliance with the Bid Price Requirement as of November 18, 2022 pursuant to Staff letter notification.

There can be no assurance that the Company will maintain compliance with any of the other listing requirements. Nonetheless, the Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider available options, including a reverse stock split, to maintain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement.

If our common stock were delisted from Nasdaq, trading of our common stock would most likely take place on an over-the-counter market established for unlisted securities, such as the OTCQB or the Pink Market maintained by OTC Markets Group Inc. An investor would likely find it less convenient to sell, or to obtain accurate quotations in seeking to buy, our common stock on an over-the-counter market, and many investors would likely not buy or sell our common stock due to difficulty in accessing over-the-counter markets, policies preventing them from trading in securities not listed on a national exchange or other reasons. In addition, as a delisted security, our common stock would be subject to SEC rules as a “penny stock”, which impose additional disclosure requirements on broker-dealers. The regulations relating to penny stocks, coupled with the typically higher cost per trade to the investor of penny stocks due to factors such as broker commissions generally representing a higher percentage of the price of a penny stock than of a higher-priced stock, would further limit the ability of investors to trade in our common stock. In addition, delisting would materially and adversely affect our ability to raise capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities. For these reasons and others, delisting would adversely affect the liquidity, trading volume and price of our common stock, causing the value of an investment in us to decrease and having an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including our ability to attract and retain qualified employees and to raise capital.

War in the Ukraine may impact the business of the Company and the financial markets in which the Company needs to raise capital.

Political turmoil, warfare, or terrorist attacks in Ukraine could negatively affect our business. Political and military events in Ukraine, including the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, as well as ongoing warfare between Russia and Ukraine may have an adverse impact on our ability to grow our business and negatively affect our results of operations.

The uncertainty impacting and potential interruption in supply chains resulting from military hostilities in Europe and the response of the United States and other countries to it by means of trade and economic sanctions, or other actions, may give rise to increases in costs of goods and services generally and may impact the market for our products as prospective customers reconsider additional capital expenditure, or other investment plans until the situation becomes clearer.

For so long as the hostilities continue and perhaps even thereafter as the situation in Europe unfolds, we may see increased volatility in financial markets and a flight to safety by investors, which may impact our stock price and make it more difficult for the Company to raise additional capital at the time when it needs to do so, or for financing to be available upon acceptable terms. All or any of these risks separately, or in combination could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. We cannot predict the timing, strength, or duration of any economic slowdown, instability or recovery.

The Company is facing and may continue to face significant cost inflation.

While we may try to mitigate the impact of inflation by increasing the price of some of our own products, we may be unable to do so due to the terms of existing contracts, a competitor’s pricing pressure, or other factors. Additionally, significant price increases may result in a loss of customers and adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. Additionally, broad concerns related to the economy, including inflation may impact consumer spending, which could impact future demand for our products.

Revenues are currently insufficient to pay operating expenses and costs which may result in the inability to execute the Company’s business concept.

The Company’s operations have to date generated significant operating losses, as reflected in the financial information included in this Quarterly Report. Management’s expectations in the past regarding when operations would become profitable have not been realized, and this has continued to put a strain on working capital. Business and prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of operations. If the Company is not successful in addressing these risks, its business and financial condition will be adversely affected. In light of the uncertain nature of the markets in which the Company operates, it is impossible to predict future results of operations.

Our level of debt may adversely affect our operations and our ability to pay our debt as it becomes due.

The fact that we are leveraged may affect our ability to refinance existing debt or borrow additional funds to finance working capital requirements, acquisitions and capital expenditures. In addition, the recent disruptions in the global financial markets, including the bankruptcy and restructuring of major financial institutions, may adversely impact our ability to refinance existing debt and the availability and cost of credit in the future. In such conditions, access to equity and debt financing options may be restricted and it may be uncertain how long these economic circumstances may last. This would require us to allocate a substantial portion of cash flow to repay principal and interest, thereby reducing the amount of money available to invest in operations, including acquisitions and capital expenditures. Our leverage could also affect our competitiveness and limit our ability to change in market conditions, changes in the real estate industry and economic downturns.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to satisfy our debt service requirements or to obtain future financing. If we cannot satisfy our debt service requirements or if we default on any financial or other covenants in our debt arrangements, the lenders and/or holders of our debt will be able to accelerate the maturity of such debt or cause defaults under the other debt arrangements. Our ability to service debt obligations or to refinance them will depend upon our future financial and operating performance, which will, in part, be subject to factors beyond our control such as macroeconomic conditions and regulatory changes in Argentina. If we cannot obtain future financing, we may have to delay or abandon some or all of our planned capital expenditures, which could adversely affect our ability to generate cash flows and repay our obligations as they become due.

We may not be able to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, doubt has been raised as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company presently has enough cash on hand to sustain its operations on a month-to-month basis, but if the Company is not able to obtain additional sources of capital, it may not have sufficient funds to continue to operate the business for twelve months from the date these financial statements are issued. While management believes that it will be successful in obtaining additional financing, no assurance can be provided that the Company will be able to do so. Further, there is no assurance that these funds will be sufficient to enable the Company to attain profitable operations or continue as a going concern. To the extent that the Company is unsuccessful, the Company may need to curtail its operations and implement a plan to extend payables, reduce overhead and possibly sell certain Company assets until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful. Such a plan could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately the Company could be forced to discontinue its operations, liquidate and/or seek reorganization in bankruptcy.

If LVH does not sign a ground lease by December 31, 2022, LVH will be dissolved and we may not receive a complete return of our investment.

Currently, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Gaucho Ventures I – Las Vegas, LLC (“GVI”), contributed total capital of $7.0 million to LVH Holdings LLC (“LVH”) to develop a project in Las Vegas, Nevada and received 396 limited liability company interests, representing an 11.9% equity interest in LVH. Pursuant to the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of LVH dated June 7, 2022, if a ground lease for the premises within which the luxury hotel, casino, entertainment and retail project will be developed and constructed has not been executed by LVH on or before December 31, 2022, then as promptly as reasonably practicable after such date, LVH will be liquidated and dissolved.

As of September 30, 2022, LVH has used our cash contribution to LVH for land improvement expenses, such as architectural, legal, engineering, and accounting fees. Should LVH be liquidated and dissolved on or before December 31, 2022, we most likely will not receive our entire contribution back from LVH and may lose our entire investment. The loss of our investment will greatly affect our balance sheet and may translate into a lower stock price for the Company.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

On February 3, 2022, the Company purchased the domain name Gaucho.com for $34,999 in cash and 1,250 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment. The seller is entitled to additional shares of common stock if on August 14, 2022, the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock is less than $31.68 as quoted on a national securities exchange, and the Company shall issue additional shares of common stock so that the value of the total shares issued to the seller collectively has a fair market value of $36,900. As of August 12, 2022, the most recent trading day prior to August 14, 2022, which is a non-trading day, the Company’s common stock closed at $4.284. Therefore, the Company is required to issue the seller an additional 7,364 shares of common stock so that the value of the total shares the seller owns as of August 14, 2022 has a fair market value of $36,900. The Company relied on the exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

As reported on our Quarterly Report dated June 30, 2022, on June 24, 2022, the Company issued a total of 26,278 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) subject to vesting. On September 18, 2022, a total of 13,139 shares of common stock were issued to the RSU holders pursuant to the vesting provisions of the RSUs, of which, a total of 11,407 shares of common stock were issued to certain officers and directors of the Company.

Convertible Promissory Notes

As previously reported on our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 8, 2021, the Company and the investors (the “Holders”) entered into that Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 3, 2021 (as the same has been amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) and the Company issued to the Holders certain senior secured convertible notes (as the same has been amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, each, a “Note” and together with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the “Note Documents”).

As previously reported on our Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on July 5, 2022, on July 1, 2022, the Company and the Holders entered into a third letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement #3”) pursuant to which the parties agreed to reduce the Conversion Price to $3.60 for the Trading Days of July 5, 2022, through and inclusive of September 5, 2022. All conversions are voluntary at the election of the Holder.

On September 22, 2022, the Company and the Holders entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with the Holders in order to amend and waive certain provisions of the Note Documents and Letter Agreement #3 and exchange (the “Exchange” or the “Transaction”) $100 in aggregate principal amount of each of the Notes (the “Exchange Notes”), on the basis and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Exchange Agreement, for warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase up to 90,915 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $3.82 (subject to customary adjustment upon subdivision or combination of the common stock). The Exchange Agreement, the Exchange or Transaction, the Exchange Notes, the Warrants, and the Warrant Shares are collectively referred to as the “Exchange Documents.”

The Exchange Agreement amends the original terms of payment of the Notes and waives payment of principal and interest due on each of September 7, 2022 and October 7, 2022. All principal, interest, and fees are due on the maturity date of November 9, 2022. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Notes are due.

The Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time, and from time to time, on or before the third anniversary of the date of issuance.

Change in Directors

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 2, 2022, as amended on September 8, 2022 and September 13, 2022, the terms of two directors of the Board of Directors, Dr. Steven Moel and Ms. Edie Rodriguez, ended and both did not stand for re-election at the 2022 AGM. The Board of Directors approved a reduction in the number of directors from seven to five effective August 30, 2022. Dr. Moel and Ms. Rodriguez were members and chairpersons of the Company’s Audit Committee and Compensation Committee, respectively. As a result, vacancies were created in both committees.

At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company held on September 14, 2022, the Board of Directors, at the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, appointed Mr. Reuben Cannon to fill the vacancy on the Audit Committee created by Dr. Steven Moel’s departure and appointed Mr. Peter Lawrence to fill the vacancy in the Compensation Committee created by Ms. Edie Rodriguez’s departure, effective August 30, 2022. The Board of Directors determined that both Mr. Cannon and Mr. Lawrence are independent pursuant to the definition of independence under Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules and further meet all qualifications to serve as members of the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee, respectively.

The Board of Directors, at the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, further appointed Mr. Marc Dumont as Chairman of the Audit Committee and Mr. Reuben Cannon as Chairman of the Compensation Committee effective August 30, 2022. The Board of Directors then accepted Mr. Cannon’s resignation as Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and appointed Mr. Peter Lawrence as Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee effective August 30, 2022.

As a result of the above, the composition of each of the committees of the Board of Directors is as follows as of August 30, 2022:

●

Audit Committee:

	◌	Marc Dumont (Chairman)
	◌	Reuben Cannon
	◌	Peter Lawrence

●

Compensation Committee:

	◌	Reuben Cannon (Chairman)
	◌	Peter Lawrence
	◌	Marc Dumont
	◌	William Allen

●

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee:

	◌	Peter Lawrence (Chairman)
	◌	Reuben Cannon
	◌	Marc Dumont

Mr. Allen, a member of the Compensation Committee, has been deemed not to meet the definition of an independent director as defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) because he owns a 20% interest in and is the Managing Member of SLVH LLC, (“SLVH”). SLVH is the Managing Member of LVH Holdings LLC (“LVH”) and the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Gaucho Ventures I – Las Vegas, LLC holds a minority membership interest in LVH.

In reliance on the exemption provided pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5605(d)(2)(B), the Compensation Committee consists of three independent directors and one non-independent director, all of whom are all non-employee directors for purposes of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.

The Board of Directors has, under exceptional and limited circumstances, determined that Mr. Allen’s membership on the Compensation Committee is required by the best interests of the Company and its stockholders because of his extensive experience in the leisure, hospitality, and food service industry and public company experience as an officer and director. Pursuant to Rule 5605(d)(2)(B), Mr. Allen may not serve longer than two years on the Compensation Committee and his term on the Compensation Committee will expire on or before July 21, 2023.

Amendment to 2018 Equity Incentive Plan

Of the shares authorized, 767,280 remain available for issuance as of September 30, 2022.

Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation

Effective as of September 15, 2022, the Company filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to reflect the reduction in the number of authorized shares of preferred stock from 11,000,000 shares to 902,670 shares as a result of the previous conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred into shares of common stock of the Company. The Certificate of Incorporation also reflects the removal of provisions related to the Corporation’s previously effective reverse-stock split.

On October 4, 2022, the Company commenced offering of a series of 7% convertible promissory notes to accredited investors (the “Notes”) in the maximum amount of up to $689,000 (inclusive of principal and interest). The Notes mature one year from the date of issuance unless otherwise converted.

The Warrants will be exercisable at a price of $0.50 per share and carry a term of one year.

On October 19, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an increase to the maximum offering amount (inclusive of principal and interest) of up to $1,500,000, with an additional $3,571,429 raised assuming a conversion price of the Notes at $2.52 and exercise of all the warrants.

On October 20, 2022, to remain compliant with the Nasdaq rules, the Company amended and restated the Notes to include a floor conversion price of no more than $2.40. Total proceeds from the offering, assuming the maximum dollar amount of Notes are sold, converted at $2.40 (the floor price), and all warrants exercised, would be $5,250,000.

New Equity Line of Credit

As reported on our Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on November 9, 2022, on November 8, 2022, the parties terminated the Common Stock Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement by and between the Company and Tumim Stone Capital LLC, dated May 6, 2021. On the same date, the parties entered into a new Common Stock Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to Tumim Stone Capital up to the lesser of (i) $44,308,969.30 of newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and (ii) the Exchange Cap (as defined below) (subject to certain conditions and limitations), from time to time during the term of the Purchase Agreement. Sales of common stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any sales, are solely at the option of the Company and the Company is under no obligation to sell securities pursuant to this arrangement. Shares of common stock may be sold by the Company pursuant to this arrangement over a period of up to 36 months after Commencement (as defined below).

Upon the satisfaction of the conditions in the Purchase Agreement, including that a registration statement that we agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus in connection therewith is filed with the SEC (such event, the “Commencement”), we will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at our sole discretion over the 36-month period from and after the Commencement, to direct Tumim Stone Capital to purchase amounts of our common stock as VWAP purchases as set forth in the Purchase Agreement (each, a “VWAP Purchase”) on any trading day, so long as, (i) at least three trading days have elapsed since the trading day on which the most recent prior notice to purchase common stock under the Purchase Agreement was delivered by the Company to Tumim Stone Capital, and (iii) all shares subject to all prior purchases by Tumim Stone Capital under the Purchase Agreement have theretofore been received by Tumim Stone Capital electronically as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

From and after Commencement, the Company will control the timing and amount of any sales of common stock to Tumim Stone Capital. Actual sales of shares to Tumim Stone Capital under the Purchase Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriate sources of funding for the Company and its operations.

The Company has agreed to reimburse Tumim Stone Capital for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including legal fees and expenses), up to a maximum of $35,000.

Under the applicable rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), in no event may we issue to Tumim Stone Capital under the Purchase Agreement more than 549,648 shares of our common stock, which represents 19.99% of the shares of the common stock outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement (the “Exchange Cap”), unless (i) we obtain stockholder approval to issue shares of common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap or (ii) the average price of all applicable sales of common stock to Tumim Stone Capital under the Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds the lower of (i) the Nasdaq official closing price immediately preceding the execution of the Purchase Agreement or (ii) the arithmetic average of the five Nasdaq official closing prices for the common stock immediately preceding the execution of the Purchase Agreement, such that the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement are exempt from the Exchange Cap limitation under applicable Nasdaq rules. In any event, the Purchase Agreement specifically provides that we may not issue or sell any shares of our common stock under the Purchase Agreement if such issuance or sale would breach any applicable rules or regulations of Nasdaq.

In all instances, we may not sell shares of our common stock to Tumim Stone Capital under the Purchase Agreement if it would result in Tumim Stone Capital beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the common stock.

The net proceeds from sales, if any, under the Purchase Agreement, will depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sells shares of common stock to Tumim Stone Capital. To the extent the Company sells shares under the Purchase Agreement, the Company currently plans to use any proceeds therefrom for inventory production and marketing for Gaucho Group, Inc., costs of this transaction, operating expenses and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

There are no restrictions on future financings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Purchase Agreement or Registration Rights Agreement other than a prohibition on entering (with certain limited exceptions) into a “Variable Rate Transaction,” as defined in the Purchase Agreement. Tumim Stone Capital has agreed not to cause, or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of the common stock during certain periods.

EF Hutton, division of Benchmark Investments, Inc. acted as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, for which the Company will pay to EF Hutton a cash placement fee equal to 8.0% of the amount of the Total Commitment actually paid by Tumim Stone Capital to the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, we have agreed to file with the SEC one or more registration statements on Form S-1 to register for resale under the Securities Act the shares of our common stock that may be issued to Tumim Stone Capital under the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement contain customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations of the parties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in such agreements were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

The Purchase Agreement will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the first day of the month next following the 36-month anniversary after Commencement (which term may not be extended by the parties), (ii) the date on which Tumim Stone Capital shall have purchased the Total Commitment worth of shares of common stock, (iii) the date on which the common stock shall have failed to be listed or quoted on The Nasdaq Capital Market or any other “Eligible Market” (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), and (iv) the date on which the Company commences a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding or any Person commences a proceeding against the Company, a Custodian is appointed for the Company or for all or substantially all of its property, or the Company makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors. The Company has the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time after Commencement, at no cost or penalty, upon 10 trading days’ prior written notice to Tumim Stone Capital. Neither the Company nor Tumim Stone Capital may assign or transfer its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, and no provision of the Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement may be modified or waived by the parties.
