NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF MARCH 31, 2017, AND DECEMBER 31, 2016

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Evans Brewing Company Inc. (formerly ALPINE 3 Inc.) (“EBC” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 18, 2013. Alpine 3 Inc. was set up to serve as a vehicle to effect an asset acquisition, merger, exchange of capital stock, or other business combination with a domestic or foreign business. Alpine 3 did not undertake any effort to cause a market to develop in its securities, either debt or equity, before it successfully concluded a business combination. On April 4, 2014, The Michael J. Rapport Trust (the “Trust”) purchased 10,000,000 shares of common stock, which was all of the outstanding shares of Alpine 3, from the founder of Alpine 3, and changed the name to Evans Brewing Company Inc. on May 29, 2014. On October 9, 2014, the Trust agreed to the cancellation of 9,600,000 of the shares of common stock that it had acquired and retained 400,000 shares of common stock.

On October 15, 2014, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase and Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Bayhawk Ales, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Bayhawk”), subject to receiving approval of the independent Bayhawk shareholders who vote on the transaction. On September 17, 2015, the independent Bayhawk shareholders approved the agreement by a vote of 251,212 shares for and 1,600 shares against. As such, Bayhawk sold to EBC, and EBC purchased from Bayhawk, assets of Bayhawk, including but not limited to: (A) all assets, including personal property, intellectual property, inventory, contracts, websites, documents, and all other assets however delineated relating to the Bayhawk Ales label (as defined in the Agreement and discussed in more detail below); and (B) all assets, including personal property, intellectual property, inventory, contracts, websites, documents, and all other assets however delineated relating to the Evans Brands (as defined in the Agreement and discussed in more detail below) (collectively, the “Transferred Assets”). Bayhawk retained ownership of 100% of the stock in Evans Brewing Co (CA) (“Evans Brewing California”) which has the brewers license at City Brewery in Lacrosse, WI (where the non-craft brands will be brewed, with the balance of the craft brands being brewed in Irvine, California). Based on the affirmative vote by the independent Bayhawk shareholders to approve the Asset Purchase transaction, EBC proceeded with the share exchange and tender offer to the Bayhawk shareholders, pursuant to which EBC offered to exchange shares of EBC common stock for shares of Bayhawk common stock, on a one-for-one basis (the “Exchange Offer”). Bayhawk shareholders had until December 2, 2015, to tender their Bayhawk shares in the share exchange. Bayhawk shareholders also had until December 2, 2015, to rescind the exchange of shares. There also was no minimum number of shares of Bayhawk common stock that must be tendered for the Exchange Offer to close. At the close of the share exchange on December 2, 2015, Premier Stock Transfer accepted on behalf of EBC 4,033,863 Bayhawk shares and issued 4,033,863 shares of EBC common stock upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Asset Purchase and Share Exchange Agreement by and between EBC and Bayhawk, dated October 15, 2014, as amended (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). EBC filed a copy of the Asset Purchase Agreement as an annex to a combination registration statement and proxy statement on Form S-4. The Bayhawk shares were validly tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer and not withdrawn. The asset purchase and share exchange have been treated as business combination as both companies are controlled by the same management.

On September 29, 2016, Evans Brewing Company, Inc., closed the acquisition of a restaurant business located in the downtown SOCO District of Fullerton, California, through the acquisition of all the outstanding stock of EBC Public House, Inc., which the Company now operates as its first branded restaurant and taproom under the trade name “The Public House by Evans Brewing Company”. The Public House features the Company’s beers – as well as beers from other selected local Orange County, California breweries, -- food and, potentially, occasional entertainment.

In connection with such closing, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of EBC Public House from Mr. Rapport and issued 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock to Mr. Rapport. The asset purchase and share exchange have been treated as business combination as both companies are controlled by the same management.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

This summary of accounting policies for EBC is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for allowances for bad debts, collectability of accounts receivable, amounts due to service providers, depreciation and litigation contingencies, among others.

Going Concern

The Company's financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $2,854,783. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to recoverability and classification of recorded amounts of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to continue to execute its operating plan and to obtain additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance the necessary debt or equity financing will be available, or will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes. The Company has no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. EBC performs continuing credit evaluations of customers and allowances are maintained for potential credit losses. EBC determined an allowance for doubtful accounts of $12,791at March 31, 2017 and for December 31, 2016, to be appropriate.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. EBC regularly reviews its inventories for the presence of obsolete product attributed to age, seasonality, and quality and reduces its cost basis when its review indicates a reduction in utility below the inventory's carrying value. Inventories consisted of the following at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

Prepaid Expenses

For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, prepaid expense consists of $2,000 for prepaid state income tax and $50 in prepaid insurance. For the year ended December 31, 2015 the prepaid expense was $10,400 for prepaid state income tax and $167 in prepaid insurance

Deposits

During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, EBC had deposits of $82,400, consisting of short-term deposits of $10,300 and long-term deposits of $72,100. The long-term deposit is made up of a can deposit of $67,500, and deposits of $4,600 rent deposit for the restaurant. The short-term deposits are rent of $4,600, $5,190 utility deposits, $260 deposit with the city of Fullerton for the patio, and $250 for a software deposit. For the year ended December 31, 2016, EBC had deposits of $82,400, consisting of short-term deposits of $10,300 and long-term deposits of $72,100. This is made up of a can deposit of $67,500 for cans all of which is long term, and deposits of $14,900 for the restaurant. One half of the can deposit of $135,000 was returned during the year ended December 31, 2016, leaving a deposit balance of $67,500. The deposits that make up the $14,900 are; $9,200 deposit on the building rent which $4,600 is long term, $5,190 utility deposits, $260 deposit with the city of Fullerton for the patio, and $250 for a software deposit.

Liquor License

With the acquisition of the Evans Public House Restaurant the Company acquired a liquor license that it paid $50,000 for. The value of the liquor license has increased and if the Company wanted to sell the license it could get more for it than it paid. This is based on the fact that the Company is in the process of acquiring a liquor license for it new restaurant in Huntington Beach that will cost over $65,000.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed by using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives:

EBC capitalizes significant capital expenditures. Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as expenses when incurred. When assets are sold or retired, the costs and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in the income. Total depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017, and March 31, 2016, was $40,670 and $14,368, respectively.

Impairment of long-lived assets

EBC evaluates its long-lived assets by measuring the carrying amount of the asset against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with them. At the time such evaluations indicate that the future undiscounted cash flows of certain long lived assets are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of such assets, the assets are adjusted to their fair values. No adjustment to the carrying value of the assets has been made.

Accounts Payable

Accounts payable consists of unpaid expenses incurred in the normal course of business.

Refundable deposits

EBC distributes its draft beer in kegs that are owned by the Company. When a draft beer is shipped to the customer, the Company collects a refundable deposit and records a liability. Upon return of the keg, the deposit is refunded to the customer and the liability is reduced. As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, EBC had refundable deposits in the amounts of $108,317 and $107,567, respectively. EBC accounts for the loss, breakage, and deterioration of the kegs by crediting the customer’s deposits. The deposit approximates EBC’s cost of the keg. Any additional cost incurred for the loss, breakage, or deterioration of the kegs is then billed to the customer. Management periodically reviews its refundable deposits for any loss allowance on loss, breakage, or deterioration and has determined that no allowance was necessary as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from product sales, are recognized when the products are picked up by individual customers or shipped to wholesale customers. The following criteria are met before revenue is recognized: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, shipment of product or pickup has occurred, selling price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Product returns are allowed, but are rare according to historical records for past years. EBC continuously monitors and evaluates product returns. There was no allowance for product returns as of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016.

Sales Tax

EBC excludes from its sales all sales taxes assessed to its customers. Sales taxes assessed are recorded as accrued liabilities on the balance sheet until remitted to the state agencies.

Excise Tax

The federal government levies excise taxes on the sale of alcoholic beverages, including beer. For brewers producing fewer than two million barrels of beer per calendar year, the federal excise tax is $7 per barrel on the first 60,000 barrels of beer removed for consumption or sale during the calendar year. The state of California imposes excise taxes on the sale and distribution of beer at a rate of $0.20 per gallon. Excise taxes due to federal and state agencies are not collected from customers. For the Three months ended March 31, 2017, and for the Three months ended March 31, 2016, excise taxes amounted to approximately $22,468 and $10,691 respectively, which is treated as a Cost of Goods sold.

Uncertain Tax Positions

EBC utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of the “Expenses – Income Taxes Topic” of the FASB ASC. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The Company considers certain tax planning strategies in its assessment as to the recoverability of its tax assets. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that the tax rate changes. EBC recognizes, in its financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit, based on technical merits of the position. There are no material unrecognized tax positions in the financial statements.

EBC accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB ASC 740 (formerly Financial Accounting Standards Boards Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109). FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on recognition, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740 and there was no impact on total liabilities or stockholder's equity as a result of the adoption of FASB ASC 740.

For federal tax purposes the Company’s 2013 through 2016 tax years remain open for examination by the tax authorities under normal three-year statute of limitations. Generally, for state tax purposes, the Company’s 2012 through 2016 tax years remain open for examination by the tax authorities under a four-year statute of limitations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, account payable, accrued expenses, notes payables, and other accrued liabilities approximate cost because of their short maturities. The Company measures and reports fair value in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value investments.

Fair value, as defined in ASC 820, 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. The fair value of an asset should reflect its highest and best use by market participants, principal (or most advantageous) markets, and an in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The fair value of a liability should reflect the risk of nonperformance, which includes, among other things, the Company’s credit risk.

Valuation techniques are generally classified into three categories: the market approach; the income approach; and the cost approach. The selection and application of one or more of the techniques may require significant judgment and are primarily dependent upon the characteristics of the asset or liability, and the quality and availability of inputs. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 also provides fair value hierarchy for inputs and resulting measurement as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair values.

Fair value measurements are required to be disclosed by the Level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (in Level 3 measurements) are subject to expanded disclosure requirements including a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following: (i) total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings, and a description of where those gains or losses included in earning are reported in the statement of income.

Basic Loss Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company's net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.

The Company has no dilutive debt instruments.

New Authoritative Accounting Guidance

The FASB issued ASU 2016-09 in March 2016, to provide guidance to entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees as part of its Simplification Initiative. The objective of the Simplification Initiative is to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for which cost and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. The areas for simplification in this Update were identified through outreach for the Simplification Initiative and involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash.

The FASB issued ASU 2015-11 in July, 2015, to provide guidance on how an entity should measure inventory within the scope of this Update at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The amendments in this Update more closely align the measurement of inventory in GAAP with the measurement of inventory in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2014-15 on August 27, 2014, providing guidance on determining when and how to disclose going-concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if “conditions or events raise substantial doubt about [the] entity’s ability to continue as a going concern.” The ASU applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect.  These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

The Bayhawk shares were validly tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer and not withdrawn.

The 4,033,863 shares exchanged per the agreement along with the 436,000 shares that Evans Brewing Company held brought the total outstanding to 4,469,863 as of December 31, 2015. Bayhawk had a total of 4,884,624 shares of its common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2014, and as of the closing of the Share Exchange, but 414,761 shares were not tendered in the Share Exchange, so the total shares outstanding shares of EBC common stock at December 31, 2015, was 4,469,863. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company added 287,600 shares for cash and services, bringing the total shares outstanding as of December 31, 2016, to 4,757,463.

NOTE 8 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic net income (loss) per share was computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The following summarized the earnings per share:

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the carrying values of the Company’s assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their corresponding income tax basis. The temporary differences give rise to either a deferred tax asset or liability in the consolidated financial statements, which is computed by applying current statutory tax rates to taxable and deductible temporary differences based upon the classification (i.e. current or non-current) of the asset or liability in the consolidated financial statements which relates to the particular temporary difference. Deferred taxes related to differences which are not attributable to a specific asset or liability are classified in accordance with the future period in which they are expected to reverse and be recognized for income tax purposes. The long-term deferred tax assets are fully valued as of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016.

As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities primarily consist of temporary differences attributable to differing methods of depreciation, insurance claim receivables, net operating losses, allowances for obsolete inventory, and reserves for bad debt.

EBC’s management used 34% to calculate the deferred tax assets and the current tax provision.  Because of the startup costs of EBC and the net operating losses earned by Bayhawk during the first few years in operation, the Company has had to pay very little federal income tax.  In 2016, the Company paid no federal income tax and received a refund in in the amount of $8,000 based on an overpayment in 2015. The Company has a prepaid tax in the amount of $2,000 on the books from the overpayment of the 2015 state taxes. The Company has not incurred a federal tax obligation as of the period ended March 31, 2017, and EBC management expects that the Company will not pay any federal income tax in 2017, due to its significant net operating losses.

NOTE 10 – ACQUISITION OF EVANS PUBLIC HOUSE

On September 29, 2016, Evans Brewing Company, Inc., closed the acquisition of a restaurant business located in the downtown SOCO District of Fullerton, California, through the acquisition of all the outstanding stock of EBC Public House, Inc., in exchange for 100% of the outstanding shares of EBC Public House from Mr. Rapport and issued 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock to Mr. Rapport. Mr. Rapport is also the CEO of Evans Brewing Company and so the asset purchase and share exchange have been treated as business combination as both companies are controlled by the same management.

When Mr. Rapport originally acquired the restaurant, he incurred goodwill of $165,000. As part of the acquisition, Evans Brewing Company wrote off the goodwill recognizing a loss of $165,000 on Evans Public House books. The note on the Evans Public House books due to Mr. Rapport for money spent in building out the restaurant was forgiven with the offsetting entry going to additional paid in capital in the amount of $1,173,270.

NOTE 11 – SEGMENT REPORTING

ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company has two reportable segments: Evans brewery and malt liquor operations and Evans Public House restaurant. The restaurant operation was just added with the acquisition of Evans Public House restaurant. Below is a table summarizing the Company’s segment information:

Business History of Company

Evans Brewing Company, Inc. (formerly ALPINE 3 Inc.) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 18, 2013. Alpine 3 Inc. was set up to serve as a vehicle to effect an asset acquisition, merger, exchange of capital stock or other business combination with a domestic or foreign business. ALPINE 3 did not undertake any effort to cause a market to develop in its securities, either debt or equity, before it successfully concluded a business combination. On April 4, 2014, The Michael J. Rapport Trust (the “Trust”) purchased 10,000,000 shares of common stock which was all of the outstanding shares of Alpine 3, Inc., and subsequently changed the name to Evans Brewing Company Inc. (“EBC”) on May 29, 2014. On October 9, 2014 the Trust agreed to the cancellation of 9,600,000 of the shares of common stock that it had acquired and retained 400,000 shares of common stock. From April 2014 through December 2015, EBC has been in the process of acquiring the Bayhawk brands and related assets, as discussed in more detail below.

On October 15, 2014, Bayhawk and EBC entered into an Asset Purchase and Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”), subject to receiving approval of the independent Bayhawk shareholders who voted on the transaction. On September 17, 2015, the independent Bayhawk shareholders approved the agreement by a vote of 251,212 shares for and 1,600 shares against. As such, Bayhawk sold to EBC, and EBC purchased from Bayhawk, assets of Bayhawk, including but not limited to: (A) all assets, including personal property, intellectual property, inventory, contracts, websites, documents, and all other assets however delineated relating to the Bayhawk Ales label (as defined in the Agreement and discussed in more detail below); and (B) all assets, including personal property, intellectual property, inventory, contracts, websites, documents, and all other assets however delineated relating to the Evans Brands (as defined in the Agreement and discussed in more detail below) (collectively, the “Transferred Assets”). Bayhawk retained ownership of 100% of the stock in Evans Brewing Co. (CA) (“Evans Brewing California”) which has the brewers license at City Brewery in Lacrosse, WI (where the non-craft brands will be brewed, with the balance of the craft brands being brewed in Irvine, California). Based on the affirmative vote by the independent Bayhawk shareholders to approve the Asset Purchase transaction, EBC proceeded with the share exchange and tender offer to the Bayhawk shareholders, pursuant to which EBC offered to exchange shares of EBC common stock for shares of Bayhawk common stock, on a one-for-one basis (the “Exchange Offer”). Bayhawk shareholders had until December 2, 2015, to tender their Bayhawk shares in the share exchange. Bayhawk shareholders also had until December 2, 2015, to rescind the exchange of shares. There was no minimum number of shares of Bayhawk common stock that must be tendered for the Exchange Offer to close. At the close of the share exchange on December 2, 2015, Premier Stock Transfer accepted on behalf of EBC 4,033,863 Bayhawk shares and issued 4,033,863 shares of EBC common stock upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Asset Purchase and Share Exchange Agreement by and between EBC and Bayhawk, dated October 15, 2014, as amended (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). EBC filed a copy of the Asset Purchase Agreement as an annex to a combination registration statement and proxy statement on Form S-4. The Bayhawk shares were validly tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer and not withdrawn. The asset purchase and share exchange has been treated as business combination as both companies are controlled by the same management.

Overview

The brewery continued to operate under the Bayhawk Ales, Inc. name as it transitioned the licensing and branding over to Evans Brewing Company, Inc. That process has been completed and all future activities will be under the Evans Brewing Company banner. Bayhawk Ales Inc. will be dissolved and all of its history will become that of Evans Brewing Company, Inc.

Evans Brewing Company is a craft brewery based on Orange County, California that produces and sells premium craft beers, including a variety of ales and lagers. EBC’s beers are currently produced in its 17-barrel brewery in Irvine, California, the oldest continuously operating brewing facility in Orange County and one of the oldest in all of Southern California. This facility has been producing craft beers since January 1995. The brewery is located in a leased building in the McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurant.

EBC products include four beers that are packaged year-round (Pollen Nation Honey Blonde Ale, The KrHOPen India Pale Ale, Oaklore Brown Ale, and ChocōLatté Chocolate Porter), various draft-only offerings (which include The Joaquin Dead Mexican Red Ale, OC Pale Ale, Son of a Beach Blonde Ale), and seasonal beers (which include Approachable Bastard Session IPA, Stout at the Devil Russian Imperial Stout, crHOP Dust Hefeweizen, and Oktoberfest). EBC’s labels for its year round packaging were approved in 2016 and the beers are currently being sold with these labels. EBC has the exclusive rights to make, manufacture, produce, market, sell, and distribute original beers, lagers, and ales known as Evans Lager Original, Evans Lager Black, Evans Lager Light, Bad Kat Ice, and Dead Presidents. EBC also owns the assets of Pig’s Eye Brewing Company, LLC, (the “EBC Malt Assets”) including the intellectual property and trademarks relating to original beers, lagers, and ales, including Milwaukee Select and Pig’s Eye (the “EBC Malt Brands”). EBC’s products are distributed to restaurants and other retail outlets in nine states. EBC also produces and packages kegged beer on a private label basis for restaurants and other customers, with the names for such products determined collaboratively with such customer and each product co-branded with the phrase “by Evans Brewing Company”.

In addition to manufacturing and selling the products above, EBC also produces and packages beers for other craft breweries in Southern California on a contract-basis. Further, in addition to beer production and sales generally, EBC also produces and offers for sale certain “Evans Brewing Company” branded merchandise including apparel, glassware and other beer accessories.

On September 29, 2016, Evans Brewing Company, Inc., closed the acquisition of a restaurant business located in the downtown SOCO District of Fullerton, California, through the acquisition of all the outstanding stock of EBC Public House, Inc., which the Company now operates as its first branded restaurant and taproom under the trade name “The Public House by Evans Brewing Company”. The Public House features the Company’s beers – as well as beers from other selected local Orange County, California breweries, -- food and, potentially, occasional entertainment.

In connection with such closing, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of EBC Public House from Mr. Rapport and issued 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock to Mr. Rapport. The asset purchase and share exchange have been treated as business combination as both companies are controlled by the same management.

Background

EBC and Bayhawk filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Registration Statement”), which went effective on August 10, 2015. The Registration Statement included a proxy statement seeking the votes of the Bayhawk shareholders on the Asset Purchase Transaction by written consent. On September 17, 2015, the voting period closed, and EBC announced that approximately 99% of the shares that were voted had voted in favor of the Asset Purchase Transaction.

In connection with the Asset Purchase Transaction, EBC and Bayhawk entered into a General Assignment and Bill of Sale agreement (the “Bill of Sale”) which outlined the specific assets purchased, as well as an Assignment and Assumption of Liabilities agreement (the “Assumption Agreement) which outlined the specific liabilities of Bayhawk assumed by EBC.

In connection with the closing of the Asset Purchase Transaction and the entry into the Bill of Sale and the Assumption Agreement, EBC acquired the assets (other than the ownership of Evans Brewing California), the liabilities, and the operations of Bayhawk. As such, on December 10, 2015, in connection with this acquisition, EBC ceased to be a shell company as defined in Rule 12b-2, in that it had assets consisting of more than cash and cash equivalents, and has a business plan and operations.

Bayhawk Ales

Bayhawk Ales, Inc. (formerly Orange County Brewing Company) (“Bayhawk”) was formed in February 1994 for the purpose of developing and operating one or more breweries in California for the production of high quality, hand-crafted ales for sale in bottle and draft. The Company built a 17-barrel showcase brewery (the "Southern California Brewery") in a leased building in the McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurant in Irvine, California. The Southern California Brewery, located in the central business district of Irvine near John Wayne International Airport, began brewing beer in January 1995. Irvine is south of Los Angeles and is adjacent to Newport Beach. It is a suburban city of the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area and the location of numerous businesses. At the time of the construction of the Southern California Brewery, the Los Angeles metropolitan area was the largest single market for beer in the United States. The products produced by Bayhawk are 90% private labeled. The business has only recently in the last few years become profitable.

Evans Brewing Company, Inc. (Formerly ALPINE 3, Inc.) was incorporated in Delaware in June 18^th, 2013 with a fiscal year ending on December 31st.

Evans Brewing Company, Inc., acquired a restaurant business located in the downtown SOCO District of Fullerton, California, through the acquisition of all the outstanding stock of EBC Public House, Inc., which the Company now operates as its first branded restaurant and taproom under the trade name “The Public House by Evans Brewing Company”. The restaurant was acquired from Michael J Rapport and it features the Company’s beers, as well as beers from other selected local Orange County, California breweries, food and occasional entertainment. The Restaurant is the first in a chain of restaurants to be added by the Company.

Principal Products

EBC products include four packaged year-round beers: Pollen Nation Honey Blonde Ale, The KrHOPen India Pale Ale, Oaklore Brown Ale, and ChocōLatté Chocolate Porter; draft-only offerings include The Joaquin Dead Mexican Red Ale, OC Pale Ale, Son of a Beach Blonde Ale; and seasonals include Approachable Bastard Session IPA, Stout at the Devil Russian Imperial Stout, crHOP Dust Hefeweizen, and Oktoberfest.

EBC also produces malt liquor at a third party site in Lacrosse, Wisconsin. By way of background, in August 2013, Evans Brewing California had acquired from City Brewing Company, LLC (“City Brewing”) the assets of Pig’s Eye Brewing Company, LLC, (the “Pig’s Eye Assets”) including the intellectual property and trademarks relating to original beers, lagers, and ales, including Milwaukee Select and Pig’s Eye (the “Pig’s Eye Brands”). Additionally, Evans Brewing California had the exclusive rights to make, manufacture, produce, market, sell, and distribute original beers, lagers, and ales known as Evans Lager Original, Evans Lager Black, Evans Lager Light, Bad Kat Ice, and Dead Presidents.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Closing of Asset Purchase Transaction

On December 10, 2015, EBC completed the previously announced acquisition of the assets and liabilities of Bayhawk, pursuant to an Asset Purchase and Share Exchange Agreement between EBC and Bayhawk, dated October 15, 2014 (subsequently amended and restated on August 6, 2015 (as amended, the “Agreement”)).

Pursuant to the Agreement, Bayhawk had agreed to sell, and EBC had agreed to purchase, substantially all of Bayhawk’s assets, as well as its liabilities (collectively, the “Asset Purchase Transaction”). The assets and liabilities of Bayhawk include personal property, intellectual property, inventory, selected distribution contracts, websites, documents, and all other assets however delineated relating to the Bayhawk Ales labels; and (B) all assets, including personal property, intellectual property, inventory, contracts, websites, documents, and all other assets however delineated relating to the Evans Brands (collectively, the “Transferred Assets”), and the assumption by EBC, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, of all of the liabilities of Bayhawk (the “Assumed Liabilities”). (The “Evans Brands” include the former assets of Pig’s Eye Brewing Company, including its original beers, lagers and ales (“Pig’s Eye Brands”), as well as Evans Lager Original, Evans Lager Black, Evans Lager Light, Bad Kat Ice, and Dead Presidents.) Pursuant to the Agreement, EBC has the right to purchase from Bayhawk 100% ownership in Evans Brewing California.

Pursuant to the Agreement, EBC and Bayhawk agreed to seek approval of the shareholders of Bayhawk relating to the Asset Purchase Transaction. Because the principal majority stockholders of Bayhawk are also significant stockholders of EBC, Bayhawk and EBC agreed to proceed with the Asset Purchase Transaction if it was approved by the holders of at least a majority of the Independent Shares (i.e. shares not held by Bayhawk’s majority shareholder, The Michael J. Rapport Trust, or by Evan Rapport, who is an officer of EBC and the son of Michael Rapport) that actually vote on the Asset Purchase Transaction proposal.

EBC and Bayhawk filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Registration Statement”), which went effective on August 10, 2015. The Registration Statement included a proxy statement seeking the votes of the Bayhawk shareholders on the Asset Purchase Transaction by written consent. On September 17, 2015, the voting period closed, and EBC announced that approximately 99% of the shares that were voted had voted in favor of the Asset Purchase Transaction.

In connection with the Asset Purchase Transaction, EBC and Bayhawk entered into a General Assignment and Bill of Sale agreement (the “Bill of Sale”) which outlined the specific assets purchased, as well as an Assignment and Assumption of Liabilities agreement (the “Assumption Agreement) which outlined the specific liabilities of Bayhawk assumed by EBC.

Equipment Lease to Bayhawk

Following the closing of the Asset Purchase Transaction, EBC entered into an equipment lease (the “Equipment Lease”) with Bayhawk pursuant to which EBC leased the brewing equipment to Bayhawk. The Equipment Lease was effective as of December 1, 2015, and continues month to month. Bayhawk agreed to pay a minimum of $15,000 per month or net profits from operations, whichever is greater. The title to the leased equipment will remain with EBC, and EBC has the right to inspect the equipment and its usage.

The foregoing summaries of the terms and conditions of the Bill of Sale, the Assumption Agreement, and the Equipment Lease (collectively, the “Ancillary Agreements”) do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the specific Ancillary Agreement, each of which was attached as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K, filed by EBC on December 15, 2015.

Change in Shell Company Status

In connection with the closing of the Asset Purchase Transaction and the entry into the Bill of Sale and the Assumption Agreement, EBC acquired the assets (other than the ownership of Evans Brewing California), the liabilities, and the operations of Bayhawk. As such, on December 10, 2015, in connection with this acquisition, EBC ceased to be a shell company as defined in Rule 12b-2, in that it has assets consisting of more than cash and cash equivalents, and has a business plan and operations.

Effective September, 2016 the Bayhawk name was dissolved and all operations are now under the name of Evans Brewing Company, Inc and the lease is no longer needed.

Change in Shell Company Status

In connection with the closing of the Asset Purchase Transaction and the entry into the Bill of Sale and the Assumption Agreement, EBC acquired the assets (other than the ownership of Evans Brewing California), the liabilities, and the operations of Bayhawk. As such, on December 10, 2015, in connection with this acquisition, EBC ceased to be a shell company as defined in Rule 12b-2, in that it has assets consisting of more than cash and cash equivalents, and has a business plan and operations.

Share Exchange

As discussed in more detail above and below in this Annual Report, as partial consideration for the purchase of the Transferred Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, EBC agreed to offer to exchange shares of EBC common stock for all shares of Bayhawk common stock that were tendered in connection with such offer, the transaction being referred to as the “Share Exchange.” The ratio of the share exchange is one (1) share of EBC common stock for each one (1) share of Bayhawk common stock.

Based on the affirmative vote by the independent Bayhawk shareholders to approve the Asset Purchase transaction, EBC proceeded with the share exchange and tender offer to the Bayhawk shareholders, pursuant to which EBC offered to exchange shares of EBC common stock for shares of Bayhawk common stock, on a one-for-one basis (the “Exchange Offer”). Bayhawk shareholders had until December 2, 2015, to tender their Bayhawk shares in the share exchange. Bayhawk shareholders also had until December 2, 2015, to rescind the exchange of shares. There was no minimum number of shares of Bayhawk common stock that must be tendered for the Exchange Offer to close. At the close of the share exchange on December 2, 2015, Premier Stock Transfer accepted on behalf of EBC 4,033,863 Bayhawk shares and issued 4,033,863 shares of EBC common stock upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Asset Purchase and Share Exchange Agreement by and between EBC and Bayhawk, dated October 15, 2014, as amended (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”). EBC filed a copy of the Asset Purchase Agreement as an annex to a combination registration statement and proxy statement on Form S-4. The Bayhawk shares were validly tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer and not withdrawn. The asset purchase and share exchange will be treated as business combination as both companies are controlled by the same management.

No Change of Control

In connection with the Asset Purchase Transaction, there was no change in control of EBC. The officers and directors of EBC did not change, and the majority ownership of EBC did not change.

As noted, prior to the closing of the Share Exchange, there was no way to determine how many shares of Bayhawk common stock will be exchanged for shares of EBC common stock. Nevertheless, Michael J. Rapport owns, through The Michael J. Rapport Trust, a majority of the outstanding common stock of both EBC and Bayhawk. As such, following the closing of the Share Exchange, Mr. Rapport continued to own a majority of the common stock of EBC, and as such, there was no change in control of EBC.

Public House Stock Purchase Agreement

On September 29, 2016, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of EBC Public House from Mr. Rapport and issued 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock to Mr. Rapport. The close of the restaurant was based on the agreement entered into on December 10, 2015, wherein, EBC entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Public House SPA”) with Michael J. Rapport, as the sole shareholder of EBC Public House, Inc., a California corporation (“Public House”), for the purchase by EBC of 100% of the outstanding shares of Public House from Mr. Rapport, with the transaction closing on September 29, 2016.

By way of background, Mr. Rapport formed Public House to purchase a restaurant business located in Fullerton, California (previously operated as Steamers Jazz Club). At the completion of the renovation and remodel of the restaurant on September 29,2016, the agreement was closed. Mr. Rapport was the sole shareholder of Public House.

Pursuant to the Public House SPA, EBC agreed to issue 1,000,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock (see description below) in exchange for 100% of the outstanding stock of Public House (the “Public House Shares”).

The foregoing summary of the terms and conditions of the Public House SPA does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Public House SPA, was attached as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K, filed by EBC on December 15, 2015.

Certificate of Designation – Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

In connection with the Public House SPA, on December 10, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved and adopted a Certificate of Designation of Rights and Preferences for Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital

Cash Flows

Cash Used In Operating Activities

Our net loss for the period ended March 31, 2017, was the main contributing factor for our negative operating cash flow.

Cash from Financing Activities

During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, cash provided by financing activities was $181,032 compared to cash used in financing activities of $19,968 for the quarter ended March 31, 2016. During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the Company received cash of $171,000 from related party notes, $30,000 from a line of credit and paid back notes payable in the amount of $19,968. During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company paid back $19,968 in notes payable.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements between the Company and any other entity that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on the financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders. 

Going Concern

The accompanying annual 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. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $2,854,783. The Company requires capital for its contemplated operational and marketing activities. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties

Impact of Inflation

The business will have to absorb any inflationary increases on development costs in the short-term, with the expectation that it will be able to pass inflationary increases on costs on to customers through price increases hence management does not expect inflation to be a significant factor in our business.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Management believes that the application of these policies on a consistent basis enables us to provide useful and reliable financial information about our operating results and financial condition.  Some of the critical accounting estimates are detailed below.

Critical Accounting Estimates and New Accounting Pronouncements

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures in the financial statements.  Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if:

The Company bases its estimates and judgments on our experience, our current knowledge, and our beliefs of what could occur in the future, our observation of trends in the industry, information provided by our customers and information available from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  We have identified the following accounting policies and estimates as those that we believe are most critical to our financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most subjective and complex judgments in estimating the effect of inherent uncertainties: share-based compensation expense, income taxes, and derivative financial instruments. 

Share-Based Compensation Expense.  The Company plans to calculate share-based compensation expense for option awards and warrant issuances ("Share-based Awards") based on the estimated grant/issue-date fair value using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model ("Black-Sholes Model"), and recognize the expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures.   The Black-Scholes Model requires the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of the stock price, the weighted average risk-free interest rate, and the vesting period of the Share-based Award in determining the fair value of Share-based Awards.  Although we believe our assumptions used to calculate share-based compensation expense are reasonable, these assumptions can involve complex judgments about future events, which are open to interpretation and inherent uncertainty.  In addition, significant changes to our assumptions could significantly impact the amount of expense recorded in a given period.

Income Taxes. As part of the process of preparing our financial statements, the Company will be required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Our provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability approach to account for income taxes. A current liability is recorded for the estimated taxes payable for the current year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the timing differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of changes in tax rates or tax laws are recognized in the provision for income taxes in the period that includes the enactment date.  Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount more-likely-than-not to be realized.  Changes in valuation allowances will flow through the statement of operations unless related to deferred tax assets that expire unutilized or are modified through translation, in which case both the deferred tax asset and related valuation allowance are similarly adjusted. Where a valuation allowance was established through purchase accounting for acquired deferred tax assets, any future change will be credited or charged to income tax expense.

The determination of our provision for income taxes requires significant judgment, the use of estimates, and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws.  In the ordinary course of our business, there are transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain.  In spite of our belief that we have appropriate support for all the positions taken on our tax returns, we acknowledge that certain positions may be successfully challenged by the taxing authorities.  We determine the tax benefits more likely than not to be recognized with respect to uncertain tax positions.  Although we believe our recorded tax assets and liabilities are reasonable, tax laws and regulations are subject to interpretation and inherent uncertainty; therefore, our assessments can involve both a series of complex judgments about future events and rely on estimates and assumptions.  Although we believe these estimates and assumptions are reasonable, the final determination could be materially different than that which is reflected in our provision for income taxes and recorded tax assets and liabilities.

New Accounting Pronouncements

The FASB issued ASU 2016-09 in March 2016, to provide guidance to entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees as part of its Simplification Initiative. The objective of the Simplification Initiative is to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for which cost and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. The areas for simplification in this Update were identified through outreach for the Simplification Initiative and involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows.

The FASB issued ASU 2015-11 in July, 2015, to provide guidance on how an entity should measure inventory within the scope of this Update at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The amendments in this Update more closely align the measurement of inventory in GAAP with the measurement of inventory in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. ASU 2014-10 eliminates the distinction of a development stage entity and certain related disclosure requirements, including the elimination of inception-to-date information on the statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity. The amendments in ASU 2014-10 will be effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods, however early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2014-10 during the quarter ended December 31, 2014, thereby no longer presenting or disclosing any information required by Topic 915.

Management does not believe there would be a material effect on the accompanying financial statements had any other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards been adopted in the current period.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not required.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures is also 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.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, and as discussed in greater detail below, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, disclosure controls and procedures were effective:

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There are no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
