NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND LIQUIDITY

 

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Kona Gold Beverages, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), are unaudited, but in the opinion of management contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our financial position at June 30, 2022, and the results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting. We believe that the disclosures contained in these condensed financial statements are adequate to make the information presented herein not misleading. For further information, refer to the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 13, 2022.

 

The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

 

Effects of COVID-19

 

In January 2020, the WHO announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (known as 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.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying 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 financial statements, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a net loss of $4,950,087 and used cash in operations of $1,619,355 and had a stockholders’ deficit of $2,991,280 as of that date. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date of the financial statements being issued. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise additional funds and implement its business plan. As a result, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, has also expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

At June 30, 2022, the Company had cash on hand in the amount of $6,188. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, the Company raised an additional $547,500 through the sale of a secured promissory note. The Company believes it has sufficient cash and working capital to sustain operations through October 31, 2022. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations until it begins generating positive cash flow. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case or equity financing.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

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.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Those estimates and assumptions include estimates for reserves of uncollectible accounts receivable, assumptions used in valuing inventories at net realizable value, impairment testing of recorded long-term tangible and intangible assets, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, accruals for potential liabilities, assumptions made in valuing stock instruments issued for services, and assumptions used in valuing warrant liabilities, and assumptions used in the determination of the Company’s liquidity.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The underlying principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at the amount expected to be collected. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contract(s), which include (1) identifying the contract or agreement with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Revenue and costs of sales are recognized when control of the products transfers to our customer, which generally occurs upon shipment from our facilities. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at that time. The Company does not have any significant contracts with customers requiring performance beyond delivery, and contracts with customers contain no incentives or discounts that could cause revenue to be allocated or adjusted over time. Shipping and handling activities are performed before the customer obtains control of the goods and therefore represent a fulfillment activity rather than a promised service to the customer.

 

All of the Company’s products are offered for sale as finished goods only, and there are no performance obligations required post-shipment for customers to derive the expected value from them.

 

The Company does not allow for returns, except for damaged products when the damage occurred pre-fulfillment. Damaged product returns have historically been insignificant. Because of this, the stand-alone nature of our products, and our assessment of performance obligations and transaction pricing for our sales contracts, we do not currently maintain a contract asset or liability balance for obligations. We assess our contracts and the reasonableness of our conclusions on a quarterly basis.

 

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 return, and allowance for the three months ending June 30, 2022 and 2021 of approximately $36,700 and $19,800, respectively, and the Company recorded sales return, and allowance for the six months ending June 30, 2022 and 2021 of approximately $71,800 and $57,417, respectively which is included in the revenues, net of sales returns and allowances in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Loss.

Loss per Common Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued, using the treasury stock method. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation when their effect is antidilutive.

 

For the period ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are the same because potential dilutive securities would have had an anti-dilutive effect. The potentially dilutive securities consisted of the following:

Common stock equivalent of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock   -    140 
Common stock equivalent of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock   500,000    500,000 
Common stock issuable   170,000,000    170,000,000 
Common stock on convertible debentures and accrued interest   161,707,234    80,508,648 
Total   511,028,567    321,496,788 

 

Stock Compensation Expense

 

The Company periodically issues stock options and restricted stock awards to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for such grants issued and vesting based on ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation whereby the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized for employees as compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and manner as if the Company had paid cash for the services. The Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation within its Statements of Operations with classification depending on the nature of the services rendered.

 

The fair value of the Company’s stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options or restricted stock, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling and marketing expense. Advertising costs for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, were $105,956 and $24,100, respectively.

 

Concentrations

 

The Company’s cash balances on deposit with banks are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. Generally, the Company’s policy is to minimize borrowing costs by immediately applying cash receipts to borrowings against its credit facility. From time to time, however, the Company may be exposed to risk for the amounts of funds held in bank accounts in excess of the FDIC limit. To minimize the risk, the Company’s policy is to maintain cash balances with high quality financial institutions.

 

F-9

 

 

Gross sales. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company reported no customers that accounted for more than 10% of gross sales. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company reported one customer represented 30% of the Company’s gross sales. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company reported no customers that accounted for more than 10% of gross sales. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company reported one customer represented 19% of the Company’s gross sales.

 

Accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had one customer that accounted for 15% of its gross accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had accounts receivable from two customers that comprised 60% of its gross accounts receivable.

 

Co-Packers. 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 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. 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.

 

Purchases from vendors. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company’s largest three vendors accounted for approximately 32%, 20%, and 11% of all purchases, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company’s largest four vendors accounted for approximately 33%, 13%, 12%, and 11% of all purchases, respectively.

 

Accounts payable. As of June 30, 2022, three vendors accounted for more than 10% the total accounts payable. The Company’s largest four vendors accounted for 10%, 13% and 21% of the total accounts payable, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, four vendors accounted for more than 10% the total accounts payable. The Company’s largest four vendors accounted for 20%, 14%, 12%, and 11% of the total accounts payable, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company uses various inputs in determining the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities and measures these assets on a recurring basis. Financial assets recorded at fair value are categorized by the level of subjectivity associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Accounting Standards Codification Section 820 defines the following levels of subjectivity associated with the inputs:

 

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions.

 

The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term bank loans, accounts payable, notes payable and other payables, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying values of capital lease obligations and long-term financing obligations approximate their fair values because interest rates on these obligations are based on prevailing market interest rates.

Segments

 

The Company operates in one segment for the manufacture and distribution of our products. In accordance with the “Segment Reporting” Topic of the ASC, the Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer and President, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Existing guidance, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the countries in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue. All material operating units qualify for aggregation under “Segment Reporting” due to their similar customer base and similarities in economic characteristics, nature of products and services, and procurement, manufacturing, and distribution processes. Since the Company operates in one segment, all financial information required by “Segment Reporting” can be found in the accompanying financial statements.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on current expected credit losses (“CECL”) to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the potential impact of the new guidance and related codification improvements will be material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

The Company determined the fair value of the 25 million shares was $135,000, which was recorded as a debt discount against the secured debenture. As of June 30, 2022, the outstanding balance of the secured debentures amounted to $250,000 and the unamortized debt discount was $99,031, which was recorded as the current portion of loan payable on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

At December 31, 2021, there was no accrued interest on the notes payable. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company added $651 of additional accrued interest, leaving an accrued interest balance on the notes payable of $651 at June 30, 2022.

NOTE 9 – SECURED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

 

Secured debentures that are payable to an otherwise unaffiliated third party consists of the following as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

 

  

June 30,

2022

YA II PN, Ltd.  $900,000   $3,000,000 
Less debt discount   (815,270)   (2,150,067)
Secured debentures, net  $84,730   $849,933 

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued secured debentures to an otherwise unaffiliated third-party investor (the “Selling Stockholder”) in the aggregate of $4,500,000. The debentures are secured by all tangible and intangible assets of the Company and are also convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.03 per share or a per share amount equivalent to the weighted average (among the principal of the debentures) of 76.7% of the lowest VWAP of the Company’s common stock during the 15 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date, whichever is lower. As the ultimate determination of shares to be issued upon conversion of these debentures can exceed the current number of available authorized shares, we determined that the conversion features of these convertible debentures are not considered indexed to our Company’s own capital stock and characterized the fair value of the conversion features as derivative liability. In connection with the issuances of the debentures, the Company granted to the Selling Stockholder warrants to purchase up to 150 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants are exercisable at $0.03 per share. Fifty million of the warrants will expire on February 10, 2024 and 100,000,0000 of the warrants will expire on August 20, 2024. As a result of these issuances and grants, we incurred the following (a) derivative liability of $3,982,000 related to the conversion feature of the debentures; (b) relative fair value of the warrants granted of $1,581,000; and (c) and original issue discounts of $195,000 of the debentures for a total of $5,758,000, of which, $4,423,000 was accounted as debt discount and the remaining $1,335,000 as financing costs. The debt discount is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the corresponding debentures. As of December 31, 2021, the unamortized debt discount was $2,150,067.

 

On May 5, 2022, the Company issued similar debentures to the Selling Stockholder in the aggregate amount of $500,000. The debentures bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, secured by all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company and are also convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.03 per share or 80% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of Common Stock during the 10 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. As the ultimate determination of shares of common stock to be issued upon conversion of these debentures can exceed the current number of available authorized shares, the Company determined that the conversion features of these debentures are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and characterized the fair value of the conversion features as a derivative liability (see Note 10). In connection with the issuances of these debentures, the Company also granted to the selling stockholder warrants to purchase up to 8,333,333 shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable at $0.03 per share and will expire in three years from their grant date. As a result of these issuances, the Company incurred the following (a) derivative liability of $680,000 related to the conversion feature of the debentures; (b) relative fair value of the warrants granted of $81,000; and (c) and original issue discount of $25,000 for a total of $786,000, of which, $500,000 was accounted as debt discount and the remaining $286,000 as financing costs. The debt discount is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the corresponding debentures. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company amortized debt discount of $443,764 to interest expense.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the note holder converted principal of $2,600,000 and accrued interest of $137,128, or a total $2,737,128, into 678,413,399 shares of common stock with a fair value of $5,859,165. The Company followed the general extinguishment model to record the conversions and settlement of the debt. As such, the Company removed the debt and accrued interest totaled $2,737,128, the related unamortized debt discount totaled $1,354,280 at the date of conversion. In addition, the Company revalued the derivative related to the bifurcated conversion option to its fair value of $3,639,000 at the date of the conversion and removed that amount. As a result, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $873,040.

 

As of December 31, 2021, the outstanding balance of the secured debentures amounted to $3,000,000, with an unamortized debt discount of $2,150,067, or a net balance of $849,933. As of June 30, 2022, the outstanding balance of the secured debentures amounted to $900,000, with an unamortized debt discount of $815,270, or a net balance of $84,730. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company amortized debt discount of $444,793 to interest expense.

 

F-15

 

 

As of June 30, 2022, 161,707,234 shares of common stock were potentially issuable under the conversion terms of the two partially converted outstanding debentures.

 

At December 31, 2021, accrued interest on the convertible notes payable was $54,110. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company added $77,785 of additional accrued interest, and converted $137,128 of accrued interest into common stock, leaving an accrued interest balance on the convertible notes payable of $4,767 at June 30, 2022. Accrued interest in included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

NOTE 10 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

 

The FASB has issued authoritative guidance whereby instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions are deemed to be derivative instruments. During fiscal year 2021, the Company issued convertible debentures, which, if converted into common stock, can potentially exceed the current number of available authorized shares of the Company (see Note 11). Since the number of shares is not explicitly limited, the Company is unable to conclude that enough authorized and unissued shares are available to settle the conversion option. In accordance with the FASB authoritative guidance, the conversion features have been characterized as derivative liabilities to be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations.

 

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the derivative liabilities were valued using the Binomial pricing model and/or Black Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions:

The risk-free interest rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Company uses the historical volatility of its common stock to estimate the future volatility for its common stock. The expected life of the conversion feature of the notes was based on the remaining term of the notes. The expected dividend yield was based on the fact that the Company has not customarily paid dividends in the past and does not expect to pay dividends in the future.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized derivative liabilities of $680,000 upon issuance of additional secured convertible debentures (see Note 9), and the derivative liability balance was increased by $1,671,000, representing the change in the fair value of the derivative liability from the respective prior period recorded as a component of other expenses. In addition, prior to the conversion of certain notes payable, the derivative liability balance related to the embedded conversion feature of these notes were revalued to $3,639,000 and extinguished upon conversion. The remaining derivative liabilities were revalued at $833,000 at June 30, 2022.

 

NOTE 11 – LEASE LIABILITIES

 

The Company determines whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based upon the estimated present value of unpaid lease payments over the lease term. The Company leases its office and warehouse locations, and certain warehouse equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not included on the balance sheets.

Each warrant has a three-year term from issuance and is immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.03 per share, subject to adjustment. The relative fair value of these options at grant date was approximately $103,000, which was determined using a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the following assumptions: fair value of our stock price of $0.0180 per share, the expected term of three years, volatility of 132%, dividend rate of 0%, and risk-free interest rate of 2.16%.

 

NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Subsequent to June 30, 2022, the Company issued an aggregate of 72,033,921 shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of $300,000 of principal, and $2,542 of accrued interest on its secured convertible debentures, at an average price of $0.0042 (see Note 9).

 

Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated July 28, 2022 (the “SPA”), the Company completed a private placement of a Senior Secured Promissory Note (the “Senior Note”) with an initial principal amount of $595,000 and the grant of a common stock purchase Warrant (the “Warrant”) that is exercisable for the purchase of up to an aggregate of 100,000,000 million shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of its Common Stock with an otherwise unrelated third-party investor (the “Investor”). In addition, to secure the Company’s obligations to the Investor under the Senior Note, the Company also entered into a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with and in favor of the Investor. The Company’s subsidiaries are also parties to the Security Agreement.

 

The transactions contemplated by the SPA were consummated on July 29, 2022 (the “Issue Date”). Upon the funding, the Company sold and issued the Senior Note and granted the Warrant. Pursuant to the SPA, the purchase price for the Senior Note was $595,000, less $92,325 in fees, which consisted of an 8% “original issue discount” of $47,500, due diligence and structuring fees of $38,325, and $6,500 for the Investor’s legal fees.

 

The Senior Note is due 12 months from its issuance date and is secured by all of the Company’s assets and the assets of each of its subsidiaries pursuant to the Security Agreement. The security interest granted to the Investor under the Security Agreement is subordinate to the continuing security interest that remains in effect pursuant to the previous grant of a security interest in connection with a still-outstanding debenture to an earlier investor. Initially, the Senior Note is convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”) at a fixed conversion price of $0.0045 per share, subject to adjustment due to merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or similar event as set forth in the Senior Note (the “Conversion Price”). The Senior Note contains 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 Senior Note. Upon any stock splits, reverse stock splits, distributions, stock dividends, or other similar event, the Investor will be entitled to participate in such an event on an “as converted” basis. The Senior Note is subject to a “conversion blocker” such that the Investor cannot convert any portion of the Senior Note that would result in the Investor and its affiliates holding more than 4.99% of the then-issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock following such conversion (excluding, for purposes of such determination, shares of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Senior Note or exercise of the Warrant that had not then been converted or exercised, respectively). The Investor does not have the right to convert the Senior Note until six months after the Issue Date. The Senior Note accrues interest at an annual rate equal to 10% and is due and payable on its maturity date (or sooner if the Investor converts the Senior Note or otherwise accelerates the maturity date, as provided for in the Senior Note). Interest is payable in cash on the maturity date or, in shares of the Common Stock at the then-current Conversion Price if the Investor converts the Senior Note or otherwise accelerates the maturity date, as provided for in the Senior Note.

 

F-19

 

 

At our option, the Company has the right to redeem, in full, the outstanding principal and interest under the Senior Note prior to its maturity date; provided, that, as of the date of the then-holder’s receipt of the redemption notice there has not been an Event of Default. The Company must pay an amount equal to the principal amount being redeemed plus outstanding and accrued interest thereon, as well as a $750 administrative fee (the “Redemption Amount”). The Company must provide seven Trading Days’ (as such term is defined in the Senior Nate) prior notice to the then-holder of the Senior Note of its intent to make a redemption. If such notice of redemption is received six months after the Issue Date, the then-holder has the right to convert the Senior Note prior to such redemption.

 

The Company also granted the Warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of the 100,000,000 Warrant Shares. The Warrant has a five-year term and is immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.0045 per share, subject to adjustment and is exercisable by the then-holder on a “cashless” basis.

 

The Warrant contains an adjustment provision that, subject to certain exceptions, reduces the exercise price if the Company issues shares of its Common Stock or common stock equivalents at a price lower than the then-current exercise price of the Warrant. Any stock splits, reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, mergers, combinations and asset sales, stock dividends, and similar events will result in an equitable adjustment of the exercise price of the Warrant and also, in certain circumstances, the number of Warrant Shares. The Warrant is subject to an “exercise blocker,” such that the Investor cannot exercise any portion of the Warrant that would result in the Investor and its affiliates holding more than 4.99% of the then-issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock following such exercise (excluding, for purposes of such determination, shares of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant or conversion of the Senior Note that had not then been exercised or converted, respectively).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes and the other financial information that are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. This discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions. Forward-looking statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate to future operations, strategies, financial results, or other developments. Forward-looking statements are based upon estimates, forecasts, and assumptions that are inherently subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change. These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us, or on our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the “Risk Factors,” “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” and “Description of Business” sections in this Annual Report. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. We and our representatives may from time to time make written or oral statements that are “forward-looking,” including statements contained in this Annual Report and other filings with the SEC, reports to our stockholders, and news releases. All statements that express expectations, estimates, forecasts, or projections are forward-looking statements. In addition, other written or oral statements which constitute forward-looking statements may be made by us or on our behalf. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “estimate,” “project,” “forecast,” “may,” “should,” variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in or suggested by such forward-looking statements.

 

We undertake no obligation to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Annual Reports to confirm forward-looking statements to actual results. Important factors on which such statements are based are assumptions concerning uncertainties, including, but not limited to, uncertainties associated with the following:

 

  Inadequate capital and barriers to raising the additional capital or to obtaining the financing needed to implement our business plans;
     
  Our failure to earn revenues or profits;
     
  Volatility or decline of our stock price;
     
  Potential fluctuation in our financial results;
     
  Rapid and significant changes in markets;
     
  Litigation with or legal claims and allegations by outside parties;
     
  Impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic; and
     
  Insufficient revenues to cover operating costs.

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto which are included in this Annual Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ substantially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements included in this discussion as a result of various factors.

Results of Operations

 

Overview

 

Our business has grown rapidly since inception in 2015, and we anticipate that our business will continue to grow significantly. In the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company saw an increase in growth compared to the same period of the prior year period, as distribution by our current distributors and new distributors, who were, and whose clients were, affected by COVID-19 had resumed and saw fewer COVID-19 pandemic-related distribution impacts. The Company acquired S and S Beverage, Inc. (“S and S”), in early 2021, which increased our product variety, resulting in the commencement of new distribution contracts.

 

We derive our revenue from sales of our products to online consumers, to resellers, and to distributors, Product sales to resellers include sales to convenience stores, grocery stores, and smoke and gift shops that complement our current product offering. Product sales to distributors include four energy drinks, our HighDrate CBD-infused energy waters, and our apparel, such as t-shirts and hats. In early 2021, we broadened our product line to include Ooh La Lemin lemonade. We also distribute our products and other companies’ products at retail. In late 2021, we expanded our distribution operations with the addition of a second distribution center.

 

We have experienced and expect to continue to experience substantial growth in our operations as we seek to expand through additional products and acquisitions that complement our current product offerings. We expect that revenue will continue to increase in fiscal year 2022 compared to fiscal year 2021, as distribution by our current distributors, who were, and whose clients were, affected by COVID-19 has resumed and we expect to see fewer COVID-19 pandemic-related distribution impacts for fiscal year 2022. Based on those expectations, we now anticipate signing more favorable agreements with larger, reputable tier 1 and mid-size distributors, big box stores, and grocery chains. The following is a more detailed discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the period presented.

 

Impact of Inflation

 

Recent inflationary trends have led to a moderate increase in some of the costs to produce and ship our products. To date, we have not passed the increases in those costs to our consumers. Continued prolonged periods of inflationary pressure on some or all of those costs could have a material adverse effect on our profit margins from sales of those products or could require us to increase prices for those products, which could reduce consumer demand for those products.

 

Three Months ended June 30, 2022 compared to Three Months ended June 30, 2021

 

Overview

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, during the three months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred a net loss of approximately $1,388,525, compared to a net loss of approximately $373,214 for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

 

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

Sales returns and allowance   (36,700)   (19,800)   85%
Net Revenues  $1,173,398   $790,809    48%

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we reported net revenues of approximately $1,173,398, which is an increase of approximately $382,589, or approximately 48%, compared to net revenues of approximately $790,809 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. An increase of approximately $598,881 of our revenue is attributable to increased retail revenue, while our product sales decreased in net revenue by approximately $216,290. We attribute the significant increase in retail revenue to attaining a larger percentage of the territory in which the Company distributes, including the addition of a third distribution hub in late fiscal 2021 and the hiring of additional employees to service this territory. We attribute the decrease in product sales to certain delays in production of a new product line and existing product lines, as well as to a change-over in our customer mix from the prior period due to a non-repetitive, regional, one-off customer relationship in the prior period and a different regional customer imposing slotting fees in the current period (which fees we declined to pay). We anticipate that the rollout of our drink products with a national retailer will commence late in the third quarter. Additionally, the Company experienced delays in the rebranding of our hemp product line and the subsequent production. We expect that our product revenue will increase in the remaining fiscal year 2022 compared to fiscal year 2021, and we do not anticipate further delays. Additionally, the Company hired additional sales personnel to lead sales efforts as the Company expands into new territories and the Company anticipates signing more favorable agreements with larger, reputable tier 1 and mid-size distributors, big box stores, and grocery chains. In addition, we anticipate that our retail revenue will continue to increase as we broaden our customer base with increased distribution to additional grocery and convenience chains.

 

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, 2022, we reported cost of revenues of approximately $885,517, which is an increase of approximately $198,837, or approximately 29%, compared to approximately $686,706 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase is attributed to an increase in sales in both our products and retail distribution in 2022, compared to the prior year period. The cost of revenues increase was less than the increase in revenues. This is primarily attributed to increased costs in the prior period in obtaining our ingredients for our products, for production of our products, and for shipping our products. We expect that we will continue to see an increased cost of revenues in the remaining fiscal year 2022, primarily due to an anticipated increase in revenues. In addition, as the cost of shipping our products continues to remain elevated, we also anticipate increased costs for obtaining our ingredients for our products, increased costs for production of our products, and increased costs of shipping our products. We continue to seek alternative methods to reduce costs for production and the cost of shipping our products in fiscal year 2022.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

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. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in the three months ended June 30, 2022, to approximately $1,031,515 from approximately $644,052, an increase of approximately $387,463 over the same period last year. The increase was driven by increased operating expenses associated with hiring additional sales employees, advertising and marketing, travel expenses, legal and accounting fees, rent related to an additional distribution warehouse, vehicle and shipping expenses, and partially offset by lower professional fees. We expect that, as we expand our business operations, SG&A expenses will continue to increase.

 

We expect that as we expand our business operations and continue to incur additional corporate-related expenses associated with our status as a fully registered issuer with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, SG&A expenses will continue to increase.

 

Other Income and Expenses

 

Other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was approximately $644,891, as compared to other income of approximately $166,735 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The change was attributable to the increase in interest expense of approximately $91,503 related to increased debt levels and debt amortization, the decrease in the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities of approximately $19,497, a loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $326,230, and financing costs of $286,000, which did not occur in the prior year period, all of which changes are non-cash expenses.

 

Net Loss

 

We incurred a net loss of approximately $1,388,525 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of approximately $1,015,311 compared to the prior year period in which we incurred a net loss of approximately $373,214. The three month net loss is primarily due to increased gross profit offset by increased SG&A expenses and the increase in other expenses, as discussed above.

 

Six Months ended June 30, 2022 compared to Six Months ended June 30, 2021

 

Overview

 

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, we incurred a net loss of approximately $4,975,087 and used cash in operations of approximately $1,619,355, compared to a net loss of approximately $2,192,939 and used cash in operations of approximately $875,555 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2022, we had a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $2,991,280.

Net Revenues  $2,168,529   $1,252,980    73%

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we reported net revenues of approximately $2,168,529, which is an increase of approximately $915,549, or approximately 73%, compared to net revenues of approximately $1,252,980 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. An increase of approximately $1,209,999 of our revenue is attributable to increased retail revenue, while our product sales decreased in net revenue by approximately $294,450. We attribute the significant increase in retail revenue to attaining a larger percentage of the territory in which the Company distributes, including the addition of a third distribution hub in late fiscal 2021 and the hiring of additional employees to service this territory. We attribute the decrease in product sales to certain delays in production of a new product line and existing product lines, as well as to a change-over in our customer mix from the prior period due to a non-repetitive, regional, one-off customer relationship in the prior period and a different regional customer imposing slotting fees in the current period (which fees we declined to pay).

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we reported cost of revenues of approximately $1,735,393, which is an increase of approximately $734,822, or approximately 73%, compared to approximately $1,000,571 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase is attributed to an increase in sales in both our products and retail distribution in 2022, compared to the prior year period. The cost of revenues increase was comparable to the increase in revenues for the same period. We expect that we will continue to see an increased cost of revenues in the remaining fiscal year 2022, primarily due to an anticipated increase in revenues. In addition, as the cost of shipping our products continues to remain elevated, we also anticipate increased costs for obtaining our ingredients for our products, increased costs for production of our products, and increased costs of shipping our products. We continue to seek alternative methods to reduce costs for production and the cost of shipping our products in fiscal year 2022.

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. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in the six months ended June 30, 2022, to approximately $1,970,851 from approximately $1,212,732, an increase of approximately $939,336 over the same period last year. The increase was driven by increased operating expenses associated with hiring additional sales employees, advertising and marketing, travel expenses, legal and accounting fees, rent related to an additional distribution warehouse, vehicle and shipping expenses, and partially offset by lower professional fees. We expect that, as we expand our business operations, SG&A expenses will continue to increase.

 

We expect that as we expand our business operations and continue to incur additional corporate-related expenses associated with our status as a fully registered issuer with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, SG&A expenses will continue to increase.

 

Other Income and Expenses

 

Other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was approximately $3,412,372, as compared to other expense of approximately $1,232,616 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The change was attributable to the decrease in interest expense of approximately $608,512 related to our debt levels and debt amortization, the increase in the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities of approximately $1,546,631, a loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $873,040, and financing costs of $286,000, which did not occur in the prior year period, all of which changes are non-cash expenses.

 

Net Loss

 

We incurred a net loss of approximately $4,950,087 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of approximately $2,757,148 compared to the prior year period in which we incurred a net loss of approximately $2,192,939. This net loss is primarily due to increase in gross profit, offset by increased SG&A expenses and the increase in other expenses, as discussed above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Going Concern

 

We have incurred operating losses since inception and have negative cash flow from operations since inception. As of June 30, 2022, we had a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $2,991,280 and we incurred a net loss of approximately $4,950,087 during the six months ended June 30, 2022. We also utilized cash in operations of approximately $1,619,355 during the six months ended June 30, 2022. As a result, our continuation as a going concern is dependent on our 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.

 

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies we may not continue to meet our obligations and continue our operations for the next fiscal year. The continuation of our Company as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations until we begin generating positive cash flow. Refer to auditors going concern.

 

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 consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Line of Credit is personally guaranteed by Robert Clark, the Company’s President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, and Chairman of the Board. The agreement established a revolving line of credit in the amount of up to $42,000. Advances under this line of credit bear interest at the rate of 11.50 percent per annum. The line of credit matures in 2023, at which time all outstanding principal amounts and accrued interest are due and payable. At June 30, 2022 the outstanding principal was $39,389, which was recorded as the current portion of loan payable on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
     
  (c) On March 25, 2022, the Company entered into a secured debenture with an otherwise unaffiliated individual in the principal amount of $250,000. The secured note payable matures on March 24, 2023, and bears interest at the rate of 0.97 percent per annum. The secured debenture is secured by nine (9) identified motor vehicles of the Company. In connection with the issuance of the debenture, the Company issued to the lender 25 million shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.004 per share. The Company determined the fair value of the 25 million shares was $135,000, which was recorded as a debt discount against the secured debenture. As of June 30, 2022, the outstanding balance of the secured debentures amounted to $250,000 and the unamortized debt discount was $99,031, which was recorded as the current portion of loan payable on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

At December 31, 2021, there was no accrued interest on the notes payable. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company added $651 of additional accrued interest, leaving an accrued interest balance on the notes payable of $651 at June 30, 2022. Accrued interest in included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued secured debentures to an otherwise unaffiliated third-party investor (the “Selling Stockholder”) in the aggregate of $4,500,000. The debentures are secured by all tangible and intangible assets of the Company and are also convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.03 per share or a per share amount equivalent to the weighted average (among the principal of the debentures) of 76.7% of the lowest VWAP of the Company’s common stock during the 15 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date, whichever is lower. As the ultimate determination of shares to be issued upon conversion of these debentures can exceed the current number of available authorized shares, we determined that the conversion features of these convertible debentures are not considered indexed to our Company’s own capital stock and characterized the fair value of the conversion features as derivative liability. In connection with the issuances of the debentures, the Company granted to the Selling Stockholder warrants to purchase up to 170 million shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrants are exercisable at $0.03 per share. Twenty million of the warrants will expire on May 14, 2023, 50 million of the warrants will expire on February 10, 2024, and 100,000,000 of the warrants will expire on August 20, 2024. As a result of these issuances and grants, we incurred the following (a) derivative liability of $3,982,000 related to the conversion feature of the debentures; (b) relative fair value of the warrants granted of $1,581,000; and (c) and original issue discounts of $195,000 of the debentures for a total of $5,758,000, of which, $4,423,000 was accounted as debt discount and the remaining $1,335,000 as financing costs. The debt discount is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the corresponding debentures. As of December 31, 2021, the unamortized debt discount was $2,150,067.

 

On May 5, 2022, the Company issued similar debentures to the Selling Stockholder in the aggregate amount of $500,000. The debentures bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum, secured by all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company and are also convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.03 per share or 80% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of Common Stock during the 10 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. As the ultimate determination of shares of common stock to be issued upon conversion of these debentures can exceed the current number of available authorized shares, the Company determined that the conversion features of these debentures are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and characterized the fair value of the conversion features as a derivative liability (see Note 10). In connection with the issuances of these debentures, the Company also granted to the selling stockholder warrants to purchase up to 8,333,333 shares of common stock. The warrants are exercisable at $0.03 per share and will expire in three years from their grant date. As a result of these issuances, the Company incurred the following (a) derivative liability of $546,000 related to the conversion feature of the debentures; (b) relative fair value of the warrants granted of $81,000; and (c) and original issue discount of $25,000 for a total of $674,000, of which, $500,000 was accounted as debt discount and the remaining $152,000 as financing costs. The debt discount is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the corresponding debentures. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company amortized debt discount of $443,793 to interest expense.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Selling Stockholder converted principal of $2,600,000 and accrued interest of $137,128, or a total $2,737,128, into 678,413,399 shares of common stock with a fair value of $5,859,165. The Company followed the general extinguishment model to record the conversions and settlement of the debt. The debt and accrued interest totaled $2,737,128, the related unamortized debt discount totaled $790,270, and the shares issued were measured at their respective fair value upon conversion which amounted to $5,859,165. In addition, the bifurcated conversion option derivatives, after a final mark-up to $3,639,000, were also removed. As a result, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $873,040.

 

As of December 31, 2021, the outstanding balance of the secured debentures amounted to $3,000,000, with an unamortized debt discount of $2,150,067, or a net balance of $849,933. As of June 30, 2022, the outstanding balance of the secured debentures amounted to $900,000, with an unamortized debt discount of $790,270, or a net balance of $109,730. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company amortized debt discount of $444,793 to interest expense.

 

As of June 30, 2022, 161,707,234 shares of common stock were potentially issuable under the conversion terms of the two partially converted outstanding debentures.

 

At December 31, 2021, accrued interest on the convertible notes payable was $54,110. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company added $77,785 of additional accrued interest, and converted $137,128 of accrued interest into common stock, leaving an accrued interest balance on the convertible notes payable of $4,767 at June 30, 2022. Accrued interest in included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of our consolidated 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. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable, inventories, valuation of intangible assets, and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates 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.

 

The accounting policies that we follow are set forth in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of our consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2022. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue

 

We sell our products, which includes our hemp energy drink, CBD energy water, CBD water, and logo apparel, to online customers or through resellers and distributors. In evaluating the timing of the transfer of control of products to customers, we consider several indicators, including significant risks and rewards of products, our right to payment, and the legal title of the products. We recognize revenue from product sales to customers, distributors, and resellers when products that do not require further services by us 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.

 

We also sell our 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, we consider several indicators, including significant risks and rewards of products, our right to payment, and the legal title of the products. We recognize revenue from product sales to resellers when products that do not require further services by us are shipped or delivered, when there are no uncertainties surrounding customer acceptance and when collectability is reasonably assured. Cash received by us 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.

 

We recognize revenue in accordance with 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. 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:

 

  1. Identifying the contract(s) or agreement(s) with a customer;
     
  2. Identifying the separate performance obligations in the contract or agreement;
     
  3. Determining the transaction price;
     
  4. Allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the contract or agreement; and
     
  5. Recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied.

 

Pursuant to ASC Topic 606, we recognize 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 us, performance is deemed to occur upon shipment or delivery of products to our customers based on the written contract terms, which is also when control is transferred.

 

Our revenue earned is recognized when we satisfy a single performance obligation by transferring control of our products to a customer. We have determined that disaggregated revenue by net sales by revenue source would be meaningful and allow investors to understand our business activities, historical performance, or future prospects. Disaggregated sales by revenue source, which includes sales to distributors, online sales, sales through Amazon, and distribution sales. This is the same information used by our Chief Operating Decision Maker for evaluating the financial performance of our operations and making resource decisions. We also sell merchandise and apparel that comprises approximately 1% of our gross annual sales, and solely exists to promote our beverages. Merchandise and apparel sales are included with the gross sales for our one operating segment.

During the prior year, the Company consolidated and restructured its operations. The Company now operates in one segment for the manufacture and distribution of our products and those of otherwise unrelated beverage products. In accordance with the “Segment Reporting” Topic of the ASC, the Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer and President, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Existing guidance, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the countries in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue. All material operating units qualify for aggregation under “Segment Reporting” due to their similar customer base and similarities in economic characteristics; nature of products and services; and procurement, manufacturing, and distribution processes. Since the Company operates in one segment, all financial information required by “Segment Reporting” can be found in the accompanying financial statements.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

FASB’s ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation (formerly, FASB Statement 123R), prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based payment transactions in which employee and non-employee services are acquired. We measure 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 our Common Stock on the date of grant. For our three and six months ending June 30, 2022, we recognized $85,000 of stock-based compensation expense. We recognized no stock-based compensation during the prior year period. See Note 13, Share-Based Compensation, of our consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2022, for an additional description of our stock-based compensation that had a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act, was enacted. The JOBS Act provides that, among other things, an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of some accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. As an emerging growth company, we have irrevocably elected to take “opt out” of taking advantage of the extended transition period afforded by the JOBS Act for the implementation of new or revised accounting standards and, as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth public companies on a case-by-case basis.

 

We intend to rely on certain of the other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we are not required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b), and (ii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis).

 

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier to occur of (1) the last day of our fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenues of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC, which means the market value of our common shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last day of our second quarter, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

 

We are also a “smaller reporting company” meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates plus the proposed aggregate amount of gross proceeds to us as a result of this offering is less than $700 million and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company after this offering if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure control and Procedures

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2022, the period covered in this Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Inherent Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control systems are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, no evaluation of internal control over financial reporting can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been or will be detected.

 

These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on 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. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
