NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Business
 
New Age Beverages Corporation (the “Company”) was formed under the laws of the State of Washington on April 26, 2010 under the name American Brewing Company, Inc. On April 1, 2015, the Company acquired the assets of B&R Liquid Adventure, which included the brand Búcha® Live Kombucha. On June 30, 2016, the Company acquired the combined assets of Xing Beverage, LLC, Aspen Pure®, LLC, New Age Beverages, LLC, and New Age Properties, LLC and changed the Company’s name to New Age Beverages Corporation. In March 2017, the Company acquired the assets of Maverick Brands LLC (“Maverick”), including the Coco-Libre brand. In May 2017, the Company acquired the assets of Premier Micronutrient Corporation (“PMC”). In June 2017, the Company also completed the acquisition of the Marley Beverage Company (“Marley”) including the worldwide brand licensing rights to all Marley brand non-alcoholic ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages (see Note 2).
 
The Company manufactures, markets and sells a portfolio of healthy beverage brands including XingTea, Marley, Aspen Pure®, Búcha® Live Kombucha, and Coco-Libre. The portfolio is distributed through the Company’s own Direct Store Distribution (DSD) network and a hybrid of other routes to market throughout the United States and in 15 countries around the world. The brands are sold in all channels of distribution including Hypermarkets, Supermarkets, Pharmacies, Convenience, Gas and other outlets.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2018 of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Form 10-KA filed with the SEC on August 17, 2018. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or for the full year. Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements which substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2017 as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted.
 
Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivables. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. At times such amounts may exceed federally insured limits.
 
As of September 30, 2018, three customers accounted for approximately 29.6% (10.5%, 10.4%, and 8.7%) of accounts receivables. As of December 31, 2017, three customers represented approximately 23.1%, (10.5%, 6.7% and 5.9%) of accounts receivables.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, three customers represented approximately 22.4% (10.7%, 7.0%. and 4.7%) of revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, three customers represented approximately 27% (14.3%, 8.7% and 4.0%) of revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, three customers accounted for 22.2% (10.9%, 6.3% and 5.0%) of revenue compared to 16.2% (8.6%, 5.1% and 2.5%) for the same period in 2017.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
The Company’s accounts receivable primarily consists of trade receivables. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts that is based on historical trends, customer knowledge, any known disputes, and the aging of the accounts receivable balances combined with management’s estimate of future potential recoverability. Receivables are written off against the allowance after all attempts to collect a receivable have failed. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $1,161 as of September 30, 2018 and $52,345 as of December 31, 2017.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
 
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but tested for impairment annually or more frequently when events or circumstances indicates that the carrying value of a reporting unit more likely than not exceeds its fair value. The goodwill impairment test is applied by performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit. If, on the basis of qualitative factors, it is considered not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, further testing of goodwill for impairment would not be required. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company performed a qualitative assessment and determined there was no impairment of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
 
Intangible assets are recorded at fair value as part of the acquisitions as described in Note 2. The balance as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is reflected net of accumulated amortization. Definite lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful life using the straight-line method, which is determined by identifying the period over which the cash flows from the asset are expected to be generated, typically 15 to 42 years. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 amortization expense totaled $1,098,776 and $293,941, respectively. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, accumulated amortization was $2,467,344 and $1,368,568, respectively.
 
Share-Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for share-based compensation to employees in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 718 Compensation—Stock Compensation. Share-based compensation to employees is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite employee service period. The Company accounts for share-based compensation to nonemployees in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Nonemployees. Equity instruments issued to nonemployees are valued at the earlier of a commitment date or upon completion of the services, based on the fair value of the equity instruments and is recognized as expense over the service period. The Company estimates the fair value of share -based payments using the Black-Scholes option- pricing model for common stock options and warrants and the latest fair market price of the Company’s common stock for common share issuances. The Company has not experienced any material forfeitures as of September 30, 2018. Management does not anticipate future forfeitures to be material.
 
Included in prepaid expenses as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are prepaid share-based compensation of approximately $620,000 and $1,000,000, of which approximately $292,000 and $409,000 are presented as long-term on the consolidated balance sheets under the caption Prepaid Expenses, long-term. These amounts represent the prepaid compensation to employees and certain non-employees for services rendered.
 
Long-lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets consisted of property and equipment, customer relationships, tradenames and patents and are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Topic ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. The Company tests for impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Through September 30, 2018, we had not experienced impairment losses on our long-lived assets as management determined that there were no indicators that a carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance 
 
In May 2014, the  FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP and is intended to improve and converge with international standards the financial reporting requirements for revenue from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 and its amendments were included primarily in ASC 606. The core principle of ASC 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. ASC 606 also requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. We adopted ASC 606 effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. There was no impact to the opening balance of reinvested earnings as of January 1, 2018.
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for leases for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 as of December 31, 2017.
 
Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
 
In January 2017, the FASB issued 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The amendments in this ASU simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test and eliminating the requirement for a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment. Instead, under this pronouncement, an entity would perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and would recognize an impairment change for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized is not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. In addition, income tax effects will be considered, if applicable. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
 
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13. “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” The amendments in the standard apply to all entities that are required, under existing GAAP, to make disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The standard is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.
 
The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of ASU 2018-13. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of ASU 2018-13 and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2018-13 will have on its financial statements.

NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were available for issuance.
 
On October 23, 2018, the Company filed an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation, as amended, pursuant to which the Company increased the authorized shares of common stock of the Company from 50,000,000 to 100,000,000.
 
Since October 1, 2018, the Company has sold an aggregate 1,188,565 shares of common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $5,347,349 under the At the Market Offering Agreement with Roth Capital Partners, LLC. The net proceeds were $5,186,914 and commissions totaled $160,435.
 
On November 9, 2018, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Roth Capital Partners, LLC and A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, acting as representatives of the several underwriters named on Schedule 1 thereto, which provided for the issuance and sale by the Company in an underwritten public offering and the purchase by the Underwriters of 12,900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement, the shares were sold to the Underwriters at a public offering price of $3.50 per share, less certain underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company also granted the Underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 1,935,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock on the same terms and conditions for the purpose of covering any over-allotments in connection with the Offering, which was exercised in full on November 13, 2018. The net offering proceeds to the Company from the Offering are estimated to be approximately $48.1 million, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital and potential acquisitions.

Factors that may cause differences between actual results and those contemplated by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those discussed in “Risk Factors” in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2017 filed on April 17, 2018.

Overview
 
We are a Colorado-based healthy beverage company engaged in the development and commercialization of a portfolio of organic, natural and other better-for-you beverages. We market a full portfolio of ready-to-drink (“RTD”) healthy beverages including competitive offerings in the kombucha, tea, coffee, functional waters, relaxation drinks, rehydrating beverages, and functional medical beverage segments. We differentiate our brands through superior functional performance characteristics and ingredients and offer products that are organic and/or natural, with no high-fructose corn syrup (“HFCS”), no-genetically modified organisms (“GMOs”), no preservatives, and only natural flavors, fruits, and ingredients.
 
Our company mission is to become the leading healthy beverage company and to educate, inspire and hydrate consumers with healthier alternatives. We define leading as building leading brands for consumers, providing the leading growth for retailers and distributors, and generating leading return on investment for shareholders. Our target market is health conscious consumers, who are becoming more interested and better educated on what is included in their diets, causing them to shift away from less healthy options such as carbonated soft drinks or other high caloric beverages. Management believes consumer awareness of the benefits of healthier lifestyles and the availability of heathier beverages is rapidly accelerating worldwide, and we are capitalizing on that shift as the only one-stop-shop provider of healthy beverages.
 
Highlights
 
We generate revenue through the commercialization of our portfolio of brands to consumers via our retailer partners and directly via our own Ecommerce system.   As the Company grows and changes its mix of products and channels during the course of the strategic plan period, we believe that the Company can reach 50% gross margin, and reduce operating expenses to less than 25% of net sales, whilst increasing investment behind brand building.
 
In addition to driving organic growth on the healthy beverage platform the Company has established, the Company has recently taken actions to strengthen its financial flexibility.  Since the beginning of 2018 we have raised nearly $100 million through the sale of equity to meet working capital needs, for inventory in expanded distribution and to explore potential acquisitions.

Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were $13,242,821 as compared to $15,049,382 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, down 12%. DSD Division revenues were down 6% for the three months ended September 30, 2018, due to the inventory impact related to operating cash restraints. In the Brands Division, significant new distribution for the Company’s brands occurred in the quarter that the company was unable to fulfill. In 2017 the Company primarily focused on integrating acquisitions, building out its infrastructure, and re-architecting our brand portfolio and developing new products within its core brands. With those components now largely in place, we believe that our “new” portfolio in broader distribution is in a position to contribute improved organic growth.

In the Brands Division, significant new distribution for the Company’s brands occurred in the quarter that the Company was unable to completely fulfill as a result of our working capital constraints, but is expected to have full impact in 2019.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, our operating expenses were $15,219,011, as compared to $10,947,007 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to the infrastructures and integration of the Maverick, Marley and PMC acquisitions and the non-cash associated with stock compensation expense.
 
Other Expenses
 
The change in Other Expenses were directly attributed to the recognition of the gain on the sale of real property during 2017. The gain on sale was approximately $3,300,000 for the period ended September 30, 2017.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of September 30, 2018, we had cash of $28,627,464. In the past, the Company had operated with a limited cash balance which led us to the decision to raise additional capital through equity offerings raising nearly $100 million during 2018 to support working capital and give us the financial flexibility as we explore potential acquisitions. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate future financing facilities upon terms acceptable to the Company or if at all or that we will be able to identify and successfully consumate any acquisition transactions.
 
The acquisitions in 2017 and 2016 substantially improved the Company’s scale and ability to be profitable. Through the sale of equity during 2018, we have improved our working capital position and funded operating losses. However, we will continue to explore all options to improve the Company’s liquidity and working capital position so we can grow our branded business and reach consistent profitability. We may also seek to sell additional equity and debt securities. Any sale of additional equity securities will result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness will result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that could restrict our operations or modify our plans to grow the business. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, will limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
The Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
We have not made a change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Internal control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even a system which is determined to be effective cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues have been detected or prevented. Our systems of internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
 
Under the oversight of the Audit Committee, management will continue to review and make any changes it deems necessary to the overall design of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, including implementing improvements in policies and procedures. We are committed to a proper internal control environment and will continue to implement measures to improve the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in response to our continued operational development.
