NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Kona Gold Beverage, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Kona Gold,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), owns and operates a line of premier CBD lifestyle brand and other products. As of June 30, 2021 the Company has four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Kona Gold LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Kona”), HighDrate LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“HighDrate”), Gold Leaf Distribution LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Gold Leaf”), and S and S Beverage, Inc. (“S and S”), a Wisconsin corporation, which the Company acquired in February 2021. The Company is primarily focused on product development in the functional beverage sector. Kona Gold creates hemp-infused energy drinks, which includes hemp energy drinks, CBD energy water, and also sells Kona Gold merchandise and apparel, which promotes the Company’s beverages. HighDrate focuses on the development and marketing of CBD-infused energy waters geared towards the fitness and wellness markets. S and S creates and sells unique lemon flavored drinks under the “Ooh La Lemin” brand name. Gold Leaf focuses on the distribution of premium beverages and snacks in key markets.

The Company currently sells its products through resellers, the Company’s websites, and distributors that span across 27  states. The Company’s products are available in wide variety of stores, including grocery stores, convenience stores, smoke shops, and gift shops.

As used herein, the terms “Kona Gold,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our, refer to Kona Gold individually or, as the context requires, collectively with its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

The Company’s Business

The Company has two reportable segments:

Beverage Products

The Company’s hemp-infused energy drink is available in both regular and sugar-free options. These energy drinks are infused with organic hemp protein powder and contain essential vitamins and ingredients that give consumers a natural energy boost. Hemp protein contains no gluten and is compatible with a variety of diets, including vegan and Kosher. Our hemp energy drinks are available in eight flavors: classic hemp, platinum hemp, sugar-free hemp, cherry vanilla, bubble gum, candy apple, cotton candy, and pink grapefruit.

HighDrate’s CBD-infused energy water is great tasting, sugar-free, and powered by the patented technology of Alkame Holdings Inc.’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Alkame Water Inc. (“Alkame”), which uses its advanced water treatment to create a premium oxygenated alkaline water with natural antioxidants. Alkame believes that, pursuant to a double-blind placebo, peer-backed research project that it conducted, its Level 2 – inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly; such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets technology can boost the immune system and physical performance. HighDrate’s CBD-infused energy water contains 80 mg of caffeine and 10 mg of CBD. The Company believes that CBD aids the body’s endocannabinoid system in neuroprotection, stress recovery, immune balance, and homeostatic regulation. HighDrate’s CBD-infused energy water is available in six flavors: watermelon, kiwi strawberry, tropical coconut, Georgia peach, sour apple, and blue island punch.

The Company’s product “Storm” is a high-alkaline CBD-infused water. This water is also powered by Alkame’s patented technology, which uses its advanced water treatment to create a premium oxygenated alkaline water with natural antioxidants. Storm high-alkaline CBD water contains 20 mg of CBD.

Ooh La Lemin is lemonade for the modern age. Made natural and refreshing with no added sugar, low in carbs, and 15 calories. Ooh La Lemin is available in four distinct flavors: original lemonade, peach lemonade, strawberry lemonade, and blue raspberry lemonade.

The Company also sells branded apparel. The Company uses only high-quality textiles and specialty inks and foils, which provide consumers with a premium fit and feel. The Company currently offers shirts, tanks, hats, and towels for sale.

Effects of COVID-19

In January 2020, the World Health Organization (the “WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) that originated in Wuhan, China and generated significant risks to the international community as the virus spread globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic based on the rapid increase in global exposure. The COVID-19 pandemic is disrupting businesses and affecting production and sales across a range of industries, as well as causing volatility in the financial markets. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s consumer demand, sales, and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including, among other things, the duration and spread of the outbreak and the impact on the Company’s consumers and employees, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. Management is actively monitoring this situation and potential impacts on our financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual events and results could differ from those assumptions and estimates.

For the purpose of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted, highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

The estimated fair values for financial instruments are determined at discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. The carrying amounts of accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable approximate fair value given their short-term nature or effective interest rates. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tiered hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value. A fair value hierarchy has been established for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted price in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarch is as follows:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly; such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable or an be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; or

Level 3 – unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives. The effects of interactions between embedded derivatives are calculated and accounted for in arriving at the overall fair value of the financial instruments. In addition, the fair value of free-standing derivative instruments such as warrant and option derivatives are valued using the Black-Scholes models.

Kona Gold Beverage, Inc.

(formerly known as Kona Gold Solutions, Inc.)

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company uses Level 2 inputs for its valuation methodology for the embedded conversion option liabilities as their fair value were determined by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on various assumptions. The Company’s derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as adjustments to fair value of derivatives.

Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value. The Company determines provisions for uncollectible accounts, sales returns, and claims based upon factors including the credit risk and activity of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. If the Company becomes aware of a specific distributor’s or reseller’s inability to meet its financial obligations, bad debt charges are recorded based on an overall assessment of past due accounts receivable outstanding. There was no bad debt attributed to accounts receivable in the year ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These amounts are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Loss. Management will review annually to determine provisions and record an allowance as deemed necessary. In the opinion of management, a provision was deemed necessary for uncollectible accounts for Kona and no provision was deemed necessary for Gold Leaf. The allowances for Uncollectible Accounts at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $9,478 and $3,967, respectively, as reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The cost of inventory using the standard cost method, which approximates actual cost based on a first-in, first-out method. The Company’s inventories are valued at the lower cost or net realizable value. The Company’s inventory consists almost entirely of finished and unfinished goods, and freight, which include CBD energy waters, CBD waters, hemp energy drinks, lemonades, cans for production, and merchandise and apparel. The Company periodically evaluates and adjusts inventories for obsolescence. In the opinion of management, no provision for obsolescence is deemed necessary. The shelf life of all beverage inventory is two years, and at June 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, all inventory was current, as reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Property, plant and equipment are reported on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation. Assets with a useful life greater than one year and cost greater than $100 are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the asset as follows:

Goodwill arises from business combinations and is generally determined as the excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred, plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. Goodwill acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if events and circumstances exist that indicate that a goodwill impairment test should be performed. The Company has selected December 31 as the date to perform the annual impairment test.

Intangible assets represent both indefinite lived and definite lived assets. Trademarks are deemed to have definite useful lives of ten years, are amortized, and are tested annually for impairment. Intangible assets are reported on the balance sheet at cost less accumulated amortization. The Company has selected December 31 as the date to perform the annual impairment test.

Management determined that, for the year ending December 31, 2020, there were no identifiable assets or liabilities; therefore, the implied fair value of goodwill is zero. On January 21, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with S and S and the five S and S Legacy Shareholders and acquired all of the capital stock of S and S. Because of this, goodwill was recorded in the amount of $1,275,938 see Note 5, Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Management determined that there was no impairment of trademarks for the year ending December 31, 2020, see Note 5, Goodwill and Intangible Assets.

Kona Gold Beverage, Inc.

(formerly known as Kona Gold Solutions, Inc.)

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASC Topic 842”), which requires an entity to recognize a liability and corresponding asset for leases that meet certain criteria. The Company applied ASC Topic 842 using the modified retrospective approach. Under this approach, the Company applied the new standards to all new leases, and leases which have remaining obligations for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed the Company to carryforward historical lease classification, and not reassess (i) whether a contract was or contained a lease, and (ii) initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to January 1, 2019. Under this method, the Company did not restate comparative periods in its financial statements. The Company presents right-of-use assets resulting from leases separately from other assets as noncurrent, and amortized accordingly. The corresponding lease liabilities are presented separately from other liabilities on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred. The amortization period for the right-of-use asset is from the lease commencement date to the earlier of the end of the lease term or the end of the useful life of the asset.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the incremental borrowing rate or the risk-free rate with the election of the practical expedient. The Company has elected to use the risk-free rate.

The Company sells its products, which primarily includes its hemp energy drinks, CBD energy waters, CBD waters, and logo apparel, to online customers or through resellers and distributors. In evaluating the timing of the transfer of control of products to customers, the Company considers several indicators, including significant risks and rewards of products, the Company’s right to payment, and the legal title of the products. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales to customers, distributors, and resellers when products that do not require further services by the Company are shipped, when there are no uncertainties surrounding customer acceptance, and when collectability is reasonably assured. Sales are made to customers under terms allowing certain limited rights of return. Amounts billed to customers in sales transactions related to shipping and handling, represent revenues earned for the goods provided and are included in net sales. Costs of shipping and handling are included in cost of products sold.

The Company also sells its products, and beverages purchased for resale from several other beverage manufacturers, to convenience stores, grocery stores, and smoke and gift shops. In evaluating the timing of the transfer of control of products to customers, the Company considers several indicators, including significant risks and rewards of products, the Company’s right to payment, and the legal title of the products. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales to resellers when products that do not require further services by the Company are shipped or delivered, when there are no uncertainties surrounding customer acceptance and when collectability is reasonably assured. Cash received by the Company prior to shipment is recorded as deferred revenue. Sales are made to customers under terms allowing certain limited rights of return. Amounts billed to customers in sales transactions related to shipping and handling, represent revenues earned for the goods provided and are included in net sales. Costs of shipping and handling are included in cost of products sold.

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC Topic 606”). The underlying principle of ASC Topic 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at the amount expected to be collected. The implementation of Topic ASC 606 had no impact on the prior period financial statements and no cumulative effect adjustment was recognized.

To apply these principles, ASC Topic 606 outlines a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contract(s), which includes:

Pursuant to ASC Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which occurs typically upon the transfer of control, including the risks and rewards of ownership. With respect to the Company, performance is deemed to occur upon shipment or delivery of products to its customers based on the written contract terms, which is also when control is transferred.

Kona Gold Beverage, Inc.

(formerly known as Kona Gold Solutions, Inc.)

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company evaluated the guidance in ASC 606-10-50-5 and the related implementation guidance to determine disaggregation of revenues that would be meaningful. The majority of the Company’s revenue earned from its Beverages Segment and its Distribution Segment is recognized when it satisfies a single performance obligation by transferring control of its products to a customer. The Company does not have significant financing component or payment terms, and it does not have any material unsatisfied performance obligations. The Company’s revenues are obtained in similar geographical locations within the United States. Furthermore, the Company’s operations in each of its reporting segments are expected to have essentially the same future prospects, similar gross margins, sales trends, and the nature of its products and customers are essentially the same. The sales from the Company’s beverage product types are organized as one reportable segment, which the Company refers to as the Beverages Segment, and the sales of the Company’s products and products that are purchased from resellers that are distributed by Gold Leaf is organized as its second reportable segment, which the Company refers to as the Distribution Segment. The Company has also determined that disaggregated revenue by net sales by revenue source would be meaningful and allow investors to understand its business activities, historical performance, or future prospects. Disaggregated sales by revenue source, which includes sales to distributors, online sales, sales through Amazon, and Gold Leaf distribution sales, is included in Note 16, Revenue, to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We also sell merchandise and apparel that comprises approximately 1% of the Company’s gross annual sales, and solely exists to promote its beverages. Therefore, the Company’s merchandise and apparel products are not a reportable segment. Merchandise and apparel sales are included with the gross sales for its Beverages Segment.

Sales are made to customers under terms allowing certain limited rights of return. The Company records an allowance and return for each quarter for 3% of total sales. The Company recorded sales, returns, and allowance at three months ending June 30, 2021 and 2020 of approximately $19,800 and $6,600, respectively, and the six months ending June 30, 2021 and 2020 of approximately $57,400 and $13,400, respectively, which is included in the revenues, net of sales returns and allowances in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Loss.

Cost of revenues consist primarily of expenses associated with the delivery and distribution of products. These include expenses related to direct procurement costs and shipping and handling costs. The Company bills shipping and handling fees charged to customers as part of sales and the associated expense as part of cost of revenues. The costs are charged to cost of revenues in the same period that the associated revenue is earned.

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for financial impairment as events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets used in operations by measuring the carrying amount of the assets against their estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If such evaluations indicated 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 fair values. Management completed an impairment review as of December 31, 2020 and determined long-lived assets were not impaired.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting and disclosure requirements for uncertainty in tax positions. It requires a two-step approach to evaluate tax positions and determine if they should be recognized in the financial statements. The two-step approach involves recognizing tax positions that are “more likely than not” to occur and then measuring those positions to determine if they are recognizable in the financial statements. Management regularly reviews and analyzes all tax and has determined that no uncertain tax positions requiring recognition have occurred.

The Company has no recorded liabilities for uncertain tax positions as of the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets dated June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

FASB’s ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation (formerly, FASB Statement 123R) (“ASC Topic 718”), prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based payment transactions in which employee and non-employee services are acquired. The Company measures the cost of employee and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Fair value for restricted stock awards is valued using the closing price of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), on the date of grant.

The Company estimates the fair value of each restricted stock award as of the date of grant using the closing price as reported by the OTC Markets Group Inc. (the “OTCM”) on the date of grant. The fair value determined represents the cost for the award and is recognized over the vesting period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The Company accounts for forfeitures of restricted stock as they occur.

The Company expenses costs of advertising and promotions as incurred. The Company includes in advertising costs inventory given away as promotional merchandise or free samples to create sales. Advertising and promotion costs for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, was approximately $13,600 and $3,100, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, was approximately $24,100 and $11,000, respectively, which amounts were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Loss.

Kona Gold Beverage, Inc.

(formerly known as Kona Gold Solutions, Inc.)

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and periodically evaluates the credit worthiness of the financial institutions and had determined the credit exposure to be negligible.

In accordance with FASB’s ASC 260, Earnings per Share, basic income (loss) per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods reported. Diluted earnings per share include the weighted average effect of all dilutive securities outstanding during the periods presented.

Diluted per-share loss is the same as basic per-share loss when there is a loss from continuing operations.

ASC 280-10, Segment Reporting (“ASC 280-10”), establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. ASC 280-10 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company identified two operating segments that report revenue, including both sales to external customers and intersegment sales or transfers, that are 10% or more of the combined revenue, internal and external, of all the Company’s operating segments. Furthermore, each of the operating segments have assets that are 10% or more of the combined assets of all operating segments.

The Company then applied the management approach to the identification of its two reportable segments – the Beverages Segment, consisting of the operations of Kona, HighDrate, and Ooh La Lemin, and the Distribution Segment, consisting of the operations of Gold Leaf. Specifically, the Company has evaluated guidance in ASC 280-10 and determined that aggregation is consistent with the objectives of ASC 280-10 in that aggregation into two reportable segments allows users of our financial statements to view the Company’s business through the eyes of management based upon the way management reviews performance and makes decisions. Additional factors that were considered included: whether or not an operating segment has similar economic characteristics, the nature of the products/services under each operating segment, the nature of the production/go-to-market process, the type and geographic location of our customers, and the distribution of our products/services. The Company further determined that its logo merchandise and apparel, which revenue comprises approximately 1% of the Company’s gross annual sales, and solely exists for promotion purposes, could be aggregated with the operations in the Beverages Segment. A description of the Company’s products is contained in Note 1, Organization and Description of Business. For additional information regarding the Company’s two reportable segments, please see Note 18, Segments.

In May 2020, the Company completed a private placement transaction (the “2020 Private Placement”) of three secured convertible debentures (the “2020 Debentures”), convertible for up to 105,947,397 shares (the “2020 Conversion Shares”) of Common Stock and a Warrant to purchase Common Stock (the “2020 Warrant”), exercisable for up to 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “2020 Warrant Shares”), pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement between an otherwise unaffiliated third-party investor (the “Selling Stockholder”) and the Company, dated as of May 14, 2020 (the “2020 SPA”).

Initially, the 2021 Debentures are convertible at the lower of (i) the fixed conversion price, which is $0.03 per share, subject to adjustment (the “2021 Fixed Conversion Price”), or (ii) 80% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of our Common Stock during the 15 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date, subject to adjustment (the “2021 Market Conversion Price”). The 2021 Debentures contain an adjustment provision that, subject to certain exceptions, reduces the conversion price if the Company issues shares of its Common Stock or common stock equivalents at a price lower than the then-current conversion price of the 2021 Debentures. Any stock splits, reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, mergers, combinations and asset sales, stock dividends, and similar events will also result in an adjustment of the conversion price of the 2021 Debentures. The 2021 Debentures are subject to a “conversion blocker” such that the Selling Stockholder cannot convert any portion of the 2021 Debentures that would result in the Selling Stockholder and its affiliates holding more than 4.99% of the then-issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such conversion (excluding, for purposes of such determination, shares of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the 2021 Debentures or exercise of the 2021 Warrant that had not then been converted or exercised, respectively). The Selling Stockholder can increase that 4.99% “conversion blocker” to 9.99% upon at least 65 days’ prior written notice to the Company. The 2021 Debentures accrue interest at an annual rate equal to 8% and are due and payable on their respective maturity dates (or sooner if the Selling Stockholder converts the 2021 Debentures or otherwise accelerates the maturity date, as provided for in the 2021 Debentures). Interest is payable either in cash or, if certain Equity Conditions (as defined in the 2021 Debentures) are then satisfied, in shares of the Common Stock at the 2021 Market Conversion Price on the trading day immediately prior to the date paid.

At the Company’s option, it has the right to redeem, in part or in whole, the outstanding principal and interest under the 2021 Debentures prior to their respective maturity dates; provided, that, as of the date of the holder’s receipt of the redemption notice, (i) the VWAP of the Common Stock is less than the 2021 Fixed Conversion Price, initially $0.03 per share, and (ii) there is no Equity Conditions failure. The Company must pay an amount equal to the principal amount being redeemed plus outstanding and accrued interest thereon, as well as a redemption premium equal to 15% of the outstanding principal amount being redeemed (the “Redemption Premium”). The Company must provide the holder 15 business days’ advance notice of its intent to make a redemption, setting forth the amount of principal and interest we desire then to redeem plus the applicable Redemption Premium

The 2021 Debentures contain an adjustment provision that, subject to certain exceptions, reduces the conversion price if the Company issues shares of Common Stock or common stock equivalents at a price lower than the then-current conversion price of the 2021 Debentures. Any stock splits, reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, mergers, combinations and asset sales, stock dividends, and similar events will also result in an adjustment of the conversion price of the 2021 Debentures.

Pursuant to the 2021 SPA, the purchase price for the First 2021 Debenture was $900,000, less $41,000 for origination fees, which consisted of the “original issue discount” of $36,000 and $5,000 as a structuring fee. Pursuant to the 2021 SPA, the purchase price for the Second 2021 Debenture will be $600,000, less $24,000 as an “original issue discount.”

In connection with the 2021 Private Placement, the Company also granted the 2021 Warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 50 million shares of the Common Stock. The 2021 Warrant has a three-year term and is immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.03 per share, subject to adjustment. If the Company fails to maintain an effective registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the 2021 Warrant Shares, or if an Event of Default (as defined below) has occurred and is continuing, then the holder may exercise the 2021 Warrant on a “cashless” basis. “Event of Default” means an event of default under the 2021 SPA or the 2021 Debentures.

The 2021 Warrant contains an adjustment provision that, subject to certain exceptions, reduces the exercise price if the Company issues shares of our Common Stock or common stock equivalents at a price lower than the then-current exercise price of the 2021 Warrant. Any stock splits, reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, mergers, combinations and asset sales, stock dividends, and similar events will also result in an adjustment of the exercise price of the 2021 Warrant.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The 2021 Warrant is subject to an “exercise blocker” such that the Selling Stockholder cannot exercise any portion of the 2021 Warrant that would result in the Selling Stockholder and its affiliates holding more than 4.99% of the then-issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such exercise (excluding, for purposes of such determination, shares of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the 2021 Warrant or conversion of the 2021 Debentures that had not then been exercised or converted, respectively). The Selling Stockholder can increase that 4.99% “exercise blocker” to 9.99% upon at least 65 days’ prior written notice to the Company.

Pursuant to the terms of the 2021 Registration Rights Agreement with the Selling Stockholder, the Company agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “2021 Registration Statement”) with the SEC registering for resale the 2021 Conversion Shares and the 2021 Warrant Shares within 30 calendar days following the closing of the 2021 Private Placement. The Selling Stockholder has agreed to waive this 30-calendar-day provision for so long as the Company utilized its best efforts to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, and promptly thereafter files the 2021 Registration Statement. Further, the Company agreed to use its best efforts to have the 2021 Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the effectiveness deadline, or by the 5th trading day following the date on which the Company is notified that the 2021 Registration Statement will not be reviewed or is no longer subject to further review and comments. Pursuant to the 2021 Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is subject to partial liquidated damages equal to 2.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by the holder pursuant to the 2021 SPA for either of the 2021 Debentures then held by the holder for failure to file the 2021 Registration Statement timely, failure to file with the SEC a request for acceleration in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act, within five trading days after the date the Company is notified that the 2021 Registration Statement will not be reviewed or is not subject to further review, the 2021 Registration Statement is not declared effective by the effectiveness deadline, if after effectiveness, the 2021 Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as required or if the holders are not permitted to utilize the prospectus therein to resell for more than 30 consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of 40 calendar days during any 12-month period, or if after the six-month anniversary of the 2021 Registration Rights Agreement, the Company does not have available adequate current public information as set forth in Rule 144(c). The parties agreed that the maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to a holder of the 2021 Debentures under the 2021 Registration Rights Agreement is 24% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such holder pursuant to the 2021 SPA. The Company also agreed, among other things, to indemnify the Selling Stockholder from certain liabilities and to pay all fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the registration of the 2021 Conversion Shares and the 2021 Warrant Shares held by the Selling Stockholder. The Commission declared effective the 2021 Registration Statement.

NOTE 5 – GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In April 2019, Gold Leaf acquired 21,000,000 shares, representing 51.65% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of BigSupersearch.com, Inc., a California corporation (“BigSupersearch”), and 14,000,000 shares of its Series A preferred stock, representing 76.26% of the issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock, for an aggregate of $61,000, which amount included the purchase price, attorney fees, and transfer fees. At the time of the acquisition, BigSupersearch was considered a “shell company” because it had no operations and no assets. Because no transfer of assets or liabilities occurred, the entire $61,000, representing the consideration paid for all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of BigSupersearch, was recorded as goodwill. Gold Leaf has not commenced operations or done anything with BigSupersearch and it still remains a shell company.

Goodwill may not be amortized. Instead, it is tested at least annually for impairment. Impairment is the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The fair value of goodwill can be measured only as a residual and cannot be measured directly. The Company uses a methodology to determine an amount that achieves a reasonable estimate of the value of goodwill for purposes of measuring an impairment loss. That estimate is referred to as the implied fair value of goodwill.

Kona Gold Beverage, Inc.

(formerly known as Kona Gold Solutions, Inc.)

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

At December 31, 2019, BigSupersearch had a positive equity and the Company elected to perform a qualitative assessment to determine if it was more likely than not that the fair value of BigSupersearch exceeded its carrying value, including goodwill. In accordance with the Qualitative Assessment outlined in ASC 350-20-35, Goodwill – Subsequent Measurement (“ASC 350-20-35”), an entity has an unconditional option to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to performing the first step of the goodwill impairment test.

The Quantitative Assessment is a two-step process as outlined in ASC 350-20-35 and is used to identify both the existence of impairment and the amount of impairment. The first step is to determine the fair value. If the carrying amount is greater than zero and its fair value exceeds its carrying amount, then there is no impairment and the second step is not necessary. If the carrying amount of BigSupersearch exceeds the fair value, then goodwill will be measured for impairment in the second step. The amount of impairment loss recorded is the difference in the excess of the carrying amount over its fair value.

Management determined that for the year ending December 31, 2019, BigSupersearch had no identifiable assets or liabilities; therefore, the implied fair value of goodwill is zero. Based on this assessment, goodwill was impaired by the full carrying amount of $61,000. At March 31, 2021, and at December 31, 2020, BigSupersearch had $0 in goodwill.

On January 21, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with S and S and its shareholders and acquired all of the capital stock of S and S. To consummate the Acquisition, a Certificate of Merger was filed with the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions (the “Merger Certificate”) on February 1, 2021. On January 22, 2021, (i) Kona Gold, (ii) KGS Temporary Company, Inc. (Kona Gold Beverage, Inc.’s “Acquisition Subsidiary”), (iii) S and S, (iv) William J. Stineman and K&L Beverage, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (as the indemnifying S and S shareholders), and (v) Mr. Stineman (as representative of the S and S Shareholders) entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). S and S merged with and into our Acquisition Subsidiary; S and S was the surviving entity and became our wholly-owned subsidiary of Kona Gold Beverage, Inc.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, we acquired all of the shares of capital stock of S and S from the five holders thereof (the “S and S Legacy Shareholders”). In consideration thereof, we issued to them an aggregate of nine million restricted shares of Kona Gold Beverage, Inc.’s common stock (the “Acquisition Stock”) on a pro rata basis. Kona Gold Beverage, Inc. did not grant them any registration rights in respect of the shares of Acquisition Stock. We also agreed to pay an aggregate of $1,050,000 (the “Aggregate Acquisition Payments”), the majority of which is allocated to certain creditors of S and S (including one of the S and S Legacy Shareholders) and approximately $89,000 of which (the “Remaining Acquisition Payments”) is allocated to the five S and S Legacy Shareholders on a pro rata basis. $400,000 of the Aggregate Acquisition Payments are scheduled to be paid in the next two weeks. The balance of the Aggregate Acquisition Payments, including the Remaining Acquisition Payments, are scheduled to be paid in monthly installments, in arrears on the tenth calendar day of each month, commencing on March 10, 2021, at a rate equivalent to $2.00 per case of Lemin Superior Lemonade (the product line of S and S) that we sell until the Aggregate Acquisition Payments have been paid in full. In addition to the Aggregate Acquisition Payments, we also assumed and agreed to pay certain other liabilities of S and S as set forth in the Merger Agreement. Because of this goodwill was recorded in the amount of $1,275,938, see Note 19 – Acquisition of S and S Beverage, Inc.

NOTE 6 – NOTE RECEIVABLE

On May 26, 2016, Robert Clark, formed Elev8 Hemp, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Elev8 Hemp”), on behalf of Ryan Medico, the Company’s then-Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Medico was the sole owner of and served as President of Elev8 Hemp.

In June 2016, the Company entered into a letter of intent with Elev8 Hemp to acquire it, such that it would become the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. Pursuant to the letter of intent, on June 7, 2016, the Company entered into an Acquisition Agreement with Elev8 Hemp (the “Elev8 Hemp Acquisition Agreement”), whereby the Company agreed to acquire 100% of the ownership of Elev8 Hemp and, in exchange, the Company agreed to issue to Mr. Medico five million restricted shares of the Common Stock, which had a fair market value of $50,000. The Elev8 Hemp Acquisition Agreement provided that if the Company failed to adequately capitalize the development of Elev8 Hemp to complete its objectives set forth in its business plan, then Mr. Medico would have the option until March 31, 2018 to purchase Elev8 Hemp from the Company for a purchase price of $50,000, which could be paid in shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

On October 10, 2016, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Membership Interest Purchase Agreement”) with Elev8 Hemp, as the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and Branded Legacy, Inc., formerly known as Elev8 Brands, Inc. and, prior to that, known as PLAD, Inc. (“Branded Legacy”), to sell 100% of the then-issued and outstanding membership interests of Elev8 Hemp to Branded Legacy in consideration of its issuance to the Company of 200,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.00001. In connection with this transaction, Mr. Medico became the Chief Executive Officer and the sole director of Branded Legacy. The parties desired to enter into the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement because the Company did not have adequate capital to fund the development of Elev8 Hemp’s business, as well as its own. Until July 2018, Mr. Medico also continued to serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.

On April 14, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared a dividend to its stockholders of an aggregate of 53,196,608 shares of common stock of Branded Legacy. The Company’s stockholders received one share of common stock of Branded Legacy for every 10 shares of the Company’s Common Stock held on the record date. On the record date, we had approximately 104 stockholders, all of whom received this dividend. After the payment of the dividend, the Company held 146,803,392 shares of common stock of Branded Legacy.

On March 6, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Exchange and Settlement Agreement (the “First Exchange Agreement”) with Branded Legacy. Pursuant to the First Exchange Agreement, the Company exchanged with Branded Legacy the remaining 146,803,392 shares of common stock held by the Company for 2,746,723 shares of Branded Legacy’s Series D preferred stock. The shares of Series D preferred stock were initially convertible into 164,803,380 shares of common stock of Branded Legacy. At December 31, 2018, the balance of the investment in Branded Legacy was $1,648.

On November 26, 2019, we entered into a second Securities and Exchange Agreement with Branded Legacy, whereby we exchanged the remaining investment of 2,746,723 shares of Branded Legacy’s Series D preferred stock for its 10-year, unsecured, non-convertible promissory note in our favor in the original principal amount of $1,500,000 (the “Branded Legacy Note”). All principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the Branded Legacy Note is payable, in full, on November 27, 2029. As of the dates of the foregoing transactions, the Company and Branded Legacy were not considered related parties based upon the guidance set forth in ASC Topic 850, Related Party Disclosures.

Management could not ascertain with certainty of the collectability of the Branded Legacy Note due to the dollar amount and duration of the term; therefore, an allowance for $1,500,000 had been assessed and expensed, which was included in the Consolidated Statements of Loss for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Branded Legacy Note and the investment in Branded Legacy consisted of the following:

NOTE 7 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company’s directors, officers, key employees, and non-employees were granted stock-based compensation consisting of restricted stock awards. Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense at the date of issuance. The Company estimates the fair value of each restricted stock award as of the date of grant using closing price as reported by the OTCM on the date of grant. The Board has not adopted any employee stock purchase plans or other incentive plans, nor does the Company grant stock options to its directors, officers, and employees.

The share-based payments granted for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, were 9,000,000  and 10,085,140 shares of the Common Stock, respectively.

The Company expenses stock-based compensation cost in the current period at the grant date. No future years of compensation is expected for the next five fiscal years. The Company has a balance in accrued stock-based compensation at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, of $1,386,497 and $1,386,497, respectively.

The 2021 Debentures are subject to a “conversion blocker” such that the Selling Stockholder cannot convert any portion of the 2021 Debentures that would result in the Selling Stockholder and its affiliates holding more than 4.99% of the then-issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock following such conversion (excluding, for purposes of such determination, shares of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the 2021 Debentures or exercise of the 2021 Warrant that had not then been converted or exercised, respectively). The Selling Stockholder can increase that 4.99% “conversion blocker” to 9.99% upon at least 65 days’ prior written notice to the Company. The 2021 Debentures accrue interest at an annual rate equal to 8% and are due and payable on their respective maturity dates (or sooner if the Selling Stockholder converts the 2021 Debentures or otherwise accelerates the maturity date, as provided for in the 2021 Debentures). Interest is payable either in cash or, if certain Equity Conditions (as defined in the 2021 Debentures) are then satisfied, in shares of the Common Stock at the 2021 Market Conversion Price on the trading day immediately prior to the date paid.

Derivative Liability

The 2020 Debentures and the 2021 Debentures have been accounted for utilizing ASC 815. The Company has incurred a liability for the estimated fair value of the First 2020 Debenture. The estimated fair value of the 2020 Debentures and the 2021 Debentures have been calculated using the Black-Scholes fair value option-pricing model with key input variables provided by management, as of the date of issuance, with the valuation offset against additional paid in capital, and at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recorded as gains or losses on revaluation in other income (expense). The Company identified embedded features in the 2020 Debentures and the 2021 Debentures, which caused the 2020 Debentures and the 2021 Debentures to be classified as a liability. These embedded features included the right for the holder to request for the Company to settle the amounts owed pursuant to the 2020 Debentures and the 2021 Debentures to the holder by paying an amount of cash equal to the Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of the 2020 Debentures and the 2021 Debentures on the date of the consummation of a fundamental transaction. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company treat the whole instrument as liability and record the fair value of the instrument as a derivative as of the inception date of the instrument and to adjust the fair value of the instrument as of each subsequent balance sheet date.

The derivative liabilities were valued using Black-Scholes pricing model with the following average assumptions:

The following table summarizes the changes in the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of June 30, 2021:

NOTE 19 – ACQUISITION OF S AND S BEVERAGE, INC.

On January 21, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with S and S and its shareholders and acquired all of the capital stock of S and S. To consummate the Acquisition, a Certificate of Merger with the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions (the “Merger Certificate”) on February 1, 2021. On January 22, 2021, (i) Kona Gold, (ii) KGS Temporary Company, Inc. (Kona Gold Beverage, Inc. “Acquisition Subsidiary”), (iii) S and S, (iv) William J. Stineman and K&L Beverage, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (as the indemnifying S and S shareholders), and (v) Mr. Stineman (as representative of the S and S Shareholders) entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”).

NOTE 20 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements, during the three months ending June 30, 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $373,214, and during the six months ending June 30, 2021, incurred a net loss of $2,192,939, used cash in operations of $875,555 and had a stockholders’ deficit of $3,990,635 as of June 30, 2021. In the year ending December 31, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,125,595, used cash in operations of $1,370,123 and had a stockholders’ deficit of $4,244,153 4,244,151 as of December 31, 2020.

The Company attributes this increase to losses incurred from corporate related expenses during the six months ending June 30, 2021. During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company signed a Securities Purchase Agreement, whereas, the Company incurred interest expense to warrants on a convertible note and a loss on the derivatives, which were integral to the growth of the Company. During the second quarter, the Company attributes the increase to costs related to our Beverage Segment of selling, general and administrative expenses, specifically salaries, which are integral to the success of the Company. The Company continued to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic during the second quarter of the 2021 fiscal year as the Company continues its efforts to sign more favorable agreements with larger, reputable tier 1 and mid-size distributors and grocery chains. These contracts saw unforeseen delays and were additionally impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic during the 2020 fiscal year. COVID-19 delayed the Company’s launch of a variety of new products during most of the 2020 fiscal year – drinks and non-drink line broadening items. COVID-19 continues to impact the Company in fiscal year 2021 with logistical delays in delivery of our products to customers. In addition, the Company has experienced delays in obtaining product related to logistical delays. Despite the increase in losses and impacts from COVID-19, the Company realized an increase in sales in the first two quarters of fiscal 2021 over the previous first two quarters of fiscal 2020. The Company attributes this to the acquisition of S and S, which has added to the Company’s portfolio. In addition, the Company has signed more favorable agreements with larger, reputable tier 1 and mid-size distributors and grocery chains that resulted in unforeseen delays and had been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We expect that revenue will increase during the balance of fiscal 2021 as distribution related to our current distributors that had been affected by COVID-19, but have resumed more normal distribution, are seeing fewer forward-looking impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company expects that it will continue to enter additional, larger, more favorable agreements with larger, tier 1 and mid-size distributors in our Beverage Segment during the balance of fiscal 2021.

As a result, the Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on the ability to obtain additional financing until we can generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet our obligations. We intend to continue to seek additional debt or equity financing to continue our operations. There is no assurance that we will ever be profitable or that debt or equity financing will be available to us in the amounts, on terms, and at times deemed acceptable to us, if at all. The issuance of additional equity securities by us would result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, would increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. If we are unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable to us, we may be unable to continue our business, as planned, and as a result may be required to scale back or cease operations for our business, the result of which would be that our stockholders would lose some or all of their investment. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 21 – CONCENTRATIONS

The Company had certain customers whose revenue individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue, less intercompany transactions. In addition, certain customers had outstanding accounts receivables that individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s total outstanding accounts receivables, less intercompany transactions, but before receivable allowances. These customers are as follows:

Kona Gold Beverage, Inc.

(formerly known as Kona Gold Solutions, Inc.)

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2021, the Company’s net accounts receivable were $333,442, representing total accounts receivable of approximately $413,392, less sales returns and allowance of approximately $57,417, less doubtful accounts of approximately $9,478, and less intercompany transactions of approximately $13,055. In the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s net accounts receivable were $(10,508), representing total accounts receivable of approximately $22,166 less sales returns and allowance of approximately $28,707 and less doubtful accounts of approximately $3,967. The breakdown of the Company’s accounts receivable is as follows:

The Company determined that two customers accounted for approximately 69% (or approximately 58% and 11%), or an aggregate of $284,045, of the outstanding total accounts receivable of $413,472 as of June 30, 2021. The Company determined that four customers accounted for approximately 76% (or approximately 26%, 22%, 14% and 14%), or an aggregate of $16,904, of the outstanding total accounts receivable of $22,166 as of December 31, 2020.

In the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Loss for the three months ended June 30, 2021, one customer represented 30% of the Company’s total net revenue of $790,809 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. In the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Loss for the three months ended June 30, 2020, no one customer represented 10% of the Company’s total net revenue of $277,044 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. In the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021, one customer represented 19% of the Company’s total net revenue of $1,252,980 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. In the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020, no one customer represented 10% or more of the Company’s total net revenue of $442,327 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The raw materials used in the production of the Company’s products are obtained by the Company’s co-packers and consist primarily of materials such as the flavors, caffeine, sugars or sucralose, taurine, vitamins, CBD, and hemp seed protein contained in its beverages, the bottles and cans in which its beverages are packaged, and the labeling on the outside of its beverages. These principal raw materials are subject to price and availability fluctuations. The Company currently relies on a few key co-packers, which in turn rely on a few key suppliers. The Company continually endeavors to have back-up co-packers, which co-packers would in turn depend on their third-party suppliers to supply certain of the flavors and concentrates that are used in the Company’s beverages. The Company is also dependent on these co-packers to negotiate arrangements with their existing suppliers that would enable the Company to obtain access to certain of such concentrates or flavor formulas under certain extraordinary circumstances. Additionally, in a limited number of cases, the Company’s co-packers may have contractual restrictions with their suppliers or the Company’s co-packers may need to obtain regulatory approvals and licenses that may limit the co-packers’ ability to enter into agreements with alternative suppliers. Contractual restrictions in the agreements the Company has with certain distributors may also limit the Company’s ability to enter into agreements with alternative distributors. The Company believes that a satisfactory supply of co-packers will continue to be available at competitive prices, although there can be no assurance in this regard. With respect to Gold Leaf’s operations, the Company continually endeavors to contract with additional beverage vendors to ensure the Company has adequate inventory. The Company believes that a satisfactory supply of vendors will continue to be available at competitive prices, although there can be no assurance in this regard.

The Company had certain vendors that individually represented 10% or more of the Company’s inventory purchases. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company purchased 48% of its inventory from two vendors. Of these vendors, $47,334 is due to these vendors as of the balance sheet dated June 30, 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company did not purchase in excess of 10% of its inventory from any single vendor.

Results of Operations . . . .

Overview

Our business has grown rapidly since inception, and we anticipate that our business will continue to grow; however, in the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company saw unforeseen delays in signing more favorable agreements with larger, reputable tier 1 and mid-size distributors and grocery chains and we were additionally impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic during the fiscal year.  In the six months ending June 30, 2021, the Company has seen an increase in net revenue of 248% over the same period ending June 30, 2020. The COVID-19 delayed the Company’s launch of a variety of new products during most of the 2020 fiscal year – drinks and non-drink line broadening items. Our Beverages Segment has three main revenue streams: product sales from online consumers, product sales through resellers, and product sales from distributors. Product sales include sales of our energy drinks, HighDrate CBD-infused energy waters, and apparel such as t-shirts and hats. In early 2019, we expanded our operations with the creation of a distribution center, which now functions as our Distribution Segment. Our Distribution Segment has one main revenue stream: product sales to convenience stores, grocery stores, or smoke and gift shops, which complement our current product offering. Product sales include sales of our beverages, as well as beverages and snacks purchased for resale from several other beverage producers.

We have experienced and expect to continue to experience substantial growth in our operations as we seek to expand with additional products and acquisitions that complement our current product offerings. We are now experiencing the initial expected increase in revenue in fiscal 2021, as distribution related to our current distributors that had been affected by COVID-19, but have resumed more normal distribution, are seeing fewer forward-looking impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, COVID-19 continues to impact the Company in fiscal 2021 with certain logistical delays in the delivery of our products to customers. In addition, the Company has experienced delays in obtaining product related to logistical delays.   Despite the impact from COVID-19 on our revenues in fiscal 2020, but cognizant of the apparent turn-around in revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we have already entered, and anticipate that we will continue to enter, larger, more favorable agreements with larger, tier 1 and mid-size distributors and grocery chains in our Beverage Segment during fiscal 2021. The following is a more detailed discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the period presented.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020

Overview

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, during the three months ended June 30, 2021, we incurred a net loss of approximately $373,200, compared to a net loss of approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2021, we had a total stockholders’ deficit of approximately $4.0 million, an approximate $220 thousand improvement since December 31, 2020.

The following is a more detailed discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the period presented, along with the prior period.

Revenue

The following table presents our net revenue, by revenue source, and the period-over-period percentage change, for the periods presented:

The following table presents our net revenue, by revenue source, as a percentage of total net revenues for the periods presented:

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we reported net revenue of approximately $790,800, which is an increase of approximately $563,800, or approximately 248%, compared to net revenues of approximately $227,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. An increase of approximately $303,400  was attributed to our Beverages Segment, while our Distribution Segment reported an increase in net revenue of approximately $260,400. We attribute this increase in sales to our entering larger, more favorable agreements with larger, reputable tier 1 and mid-size distributors and grocery chains. These contracts saw unforeseen delays and were additionally impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic during the 2020 fiscal year. The COVID-19 pandemic delayed our launch of a variety of new products during most of the 2020 fiscal year – drinks and non-drink line broadening items. We also attribute this increase to the acquisition of a beverage company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 that broadened our drink product line in our Beverage Segment. In addition, we have continued to add drink and non-drink line broadening products to our Distribution Segment. We expect that revenue will continue to increase during the balance of fiscal 2021, as distribution related to our current distributors that had been affected by COVID-19, but have resumed more normal distribution, are seeing fewer forward-looking impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. We anticipate that we will continue to enter additional larger, more favorable agreements with larger, tier 1 and mid-size distributors in our Beverage Segment during the balance of fiscal 2021   .  

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists primarily of expenses associated with products sold to distributors and resellers, including product and shipping costs. Costs also include credit card fees, fees incurred for sales that occur on Amazon.com, and other transaction fees related to the processing of consumer transactions. Typically, we expect that the cost of revenues will increase as a direct correlation to increases in sales. Thus, our cost of revenues increases on an absolute basis versus on a percentage of sales basis. At the same time, when sales increase, thereby increasing our orders with our co-packers, our cost of products decreases because of the volume discounts we receive from our co-packers.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we reported cost of revenues of approximately $686,700, which is an increase of approximately $531,000, or approximately 341%, compared to approximately $155,700 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. This increase is attributed to an increase in sales in both our Beverages Segment and Distribution Segment in the second quarter of fiscal 2021, compared to the prior year’s period. The cost of sales increase exceeded the increase in sales, primarily due to (i) increased costs of ingredients for our products in our Beverage Segment, (ii) increased costs of production for our products in our Beverage Segment, and (iii) increased costs of shipping our product in our Beverage Segment . The Company is currently seeking alternatives to our production in an effort to reduce the cost of sales in the remaining 2021 fiscal year. In addition, the Company will continue to seek additional funding that will allow us to reduce the costs of productions for our production through more efficient production methods.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

SG&A expenses consist primarily of professional fees, salaries and wages, advertising, rent, travel expenses, sponsorships, and general office and administrative expenses related to maintaining our facilities.

SG&A expenses were approximately $644,100 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to approximately $692,600 in the three months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of approximately $48,500, or approximately 7%.  The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to a decrease in salaries and wages of 29% attributed to our Beverages Segment and a decrease in vehicle expense of 52% attributed to our Distribution Segment. This decrease was offset by an increase in legal and accounting fees of 82% attributed to our corporate related activities; a significant increase in bad debt of 764% attributed to our Beverages Segment; an increase of 34% in rent expense attributed to both our Beverages Segment and our Distribution Segment; an increase to our advertising and promotion expenses of 331% attributed to our Beverage Segment; and a 54% increase in OTCM fees attributed to corporate-related expenses.

Salaries and wages were approximately $281,600 in the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to approximately $445,400 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of approximately $163,800, which was attributed to our Beverage Segment. This decrease was the result of issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock made in the prior year to employees pursuant to their agreements, which issuances were not duplicated in the current year. Vehicle expense was approximately $14,500 in the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to approximately $30,700 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of approximately $16,200, which was attributed to our Distribution Segment. This decrease was the result of repairs made to our delivery vehicles   . Legal and accounting fees were approximately $150,200 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of approximately $67,800, which was attributed to our corporate related activities. This increase was the result of audit related and legal expenses related to our securities filings in the current year. Bad debt was approximately $23,300 in the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to approximately $2,700 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of approximately $20,600, which was attributed to our Beverages Segment. This decrease was the result of uncollectible accounts from accounts associated with our acquisition of a beverage company. Rent expenses were approximately $56,113 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to approximately $41,800 for the three months ended Jun e 30, 2020, an increase of approximately $12,300. This increase was attributed to both our Beverages Segment and our Distribution Segment and the result of our moving to a larger warehouse facility that was necessary due to our anticipated growth  . Advertising and promotion expenses were approximately $13,500 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to approximately $3,100 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of approximately $10,400. This increase was attributed to our Beverages Segment and the result of additional promotion activities in support of our newly acquired beverage company. OTCM fees attributed to corporate-related expenses were approximately $30,800 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to approximately $20,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of approximately $10,800. This increase was the result of fees paid to the OTCM in connection with our Common Stock now being quoted on the OTCQB instead of the OTC Pink.

We expect that, as we expand our business, operations, and incur additional corporate-related expenses associated with having our Common Stock quoted on the OTCQB and being required to file certain reports and other information with the SEC, SG&A expenses will increase for both our Beverages Segment and Distribution Segment. We anticipate hiring additional personal in fiscal 2021 who would be integral to the success of our growing Company.

Net Loss

We incurred a net loss of approximately $373,200 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of approximately $693,700, compared to the previous three months ending June 30, 2020, which had a net loss of approximately $1.1 million. This decrease in net loss in the three months ended June 30, 2021 is primarily related to the reduction in corporate-related expenses associated with Our Debentures.   The fair value of the Debentures are re-measured each reporting period until the Debentures are either converted or expire. In each reporting period during the term of the Debentures, the change in the fair value will either be recognized as a non-cash expense or non-cash income. The change in the fair value of the Debentures is a non-cash event and is not impacted by our actual operations but instead is strongly tied to the change in the market value of our Common Stock.
