Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 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-K filed with the SEC on April 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 March 31, 2018, three customers accounted for approximately 29.4% (11.7%, 9.8% and 7.9%) of accounts receivables. As of December 31, 2017, three customers represented approximately 23.1% (10.5%, 6.7% and 5.9%) of accounts receivable.

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 $94,481 as of March 31, 2018 and $52,345 as of December 31, 2017.

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 three-months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Intangible assets are recorded at acquisition fair value as part of the acquisitions. The balance as of March 31, 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 three-months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 amortization expense totaled $367,828 and $97,981, respectively. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, accumulated amortization was $1,736,396 and $1,368,568, respectively.

Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets consisted of property and equipment and customer relationships and are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Topic Accounting Standards Codification (“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 March 31, 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.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based compensation to employees in accordance with 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 forfeitures as of March 31, 2018. Management does not anticipate future forfeitures to be material.

Included in prepaid expenses as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are prepaid share-based compensation of approximately $1,000,000 and $1,000,000, of which approximately $415,000 and $500,000 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.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718). This ASU is related to simplifications of employee share-based payment accounting. This pronouncement eliminates the APIC pool concept and requires that excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies be recorded in the income statement when awards are settled. The pronouncement also addresses simplifications related to statement of cash flows classification, accounting for forfeitures and minimum statutory tax withholding requirements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. This ASU does not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on management's conclusion.

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.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND MANAGEMENT’S LIQUIDITY PLANS

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since inception, the Company has financed its operations primarily through equity and debt financings. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $13,152,140 and $10,500,883 (all of which was attributed to the losses of Búcha, Inc., and one-time expenses associated with the integration and up-listing onto the NASDAQ exchange and acquisitions of Maverick, PMC and Marley during the year ended December 31, 2017 and Xing during the year ended December 31, 2016). For the three-months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, cash flows used in operating activities were ($127,125) and ($3,114,158).

NEW AGE BEVERAGES CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

The 2017 acquisitions of Maverick, PMC and Marley (see Note 3) required significant cash outlays for integration and operations. The Company continues to raise funds through the issuance of its equity securities, See Note 12, Subsequent Events. With the additional proceeds received from the Company’s April 2018 equity financing, the Company believes that its current capital will be sufficient to meet the Company’s operating liquidity, capital expenditure and debt repayment requirements for at least another year.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS

Maverick Brands, LLC.

On March 31, 2017, the Company acquired all of the assets of Maverick Brands, LLC or Maverick. Maverick is engaged in the manufacturing and sale of coconut water and other beverages. The acquisition helped the Company expand its capabilities and product offering. The operating results of Maverick have been consolidated with those of the Company beginning April 1, 2017. Total purchase consideration paid was $11,086,000, which consisted of $2,000,000 of cash and 2,200,000 shares of common stock valued at $9,086,000. The common stock issued was valued at $4.13 per share, which was the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of the acquisition. The acquisition was subject to customary closing conditions. All of the goodwill was assigned to the Company’s Brands segment. All of the goodwill and intangible assets recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The fair value of the customer list was valued using the income approach, as the Company obtained an independent third-party valuation. In addition, the market approach was utilized to determine the fair value of the trade name and recipes.

The purchase price was allocated to the net assets acquired based on their estimated fair values as follows:

Cash	$2,000,000
Stock	9,086,000
Purchase price	$11,086,000

Accounts receivable	$245,426

Assumption of note payable	(1,427,051)

Goodwill	5,149,431
	$11,086,000

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the preliminary fair value of the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, goodwill is not amortized but instead is tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if certain indicators are present.

In connection with the acquisition of Maverick, the Company incurred transactional costs totaling $231,925, which has been recognized as expense as of March 31, 2017. These costs have been reflected in other expenses.

Inventories consist of brewing materials, tea ingredients, bulk packaging and finished goods. The cost elements of work in process and finished goods inventory consist of raw materials and direct labor. Provisions for excess inventory are included in cost of goods sold and have historically been immaterial but adequate to provide for losses on its raw materials. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out basis, or market.

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 healthy beverages. We market a full portfolio of Ready-to-Drink (“RTD”) better-for-you beverages including competitive offerings in the kombucha, tea, coffee, functional waters, relaxation drinks, energy drinks, rehydrating beverages, and functional medical beverage segments. We differentiate our brands through superior functional performance characteristics and ingredients and offer products that are 100% organic and natural, with no high-fructose corn syrup (“HFCS”), no-genetically modified organisms (“GMOs”), no preservatives, and only natural flavors, fruits, and ingredients. We rank as the 58th largest non-alcoholic beverage company in the world, one of largest healthy beverage companies, and the fastest growing according to Beverage Industry Magazine annual rankings and Markets and Markets.

Our goal is to become the world’s leading healthy beverage company, with leading brands for consumers, leading growth for retailers and distributors, and 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 and towards alternative beverages choices. Consumer awareness of the benefits of healthier lifestyles and the availability of heathier beverages is rapidly accelerating worldwide, and New Age is capitalizing on that shift.

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.

We believe that on a consolidated basis, and with the reductions in operating expenses in each of the acquired companies in 2016 and 2017, the integrated company will generate sufficient cash flow internally to meet its needs. In addition, the Company received approval of a credit facility with PNC bank of $15 million, at an estimated annual interest rate of ~3.5%. We previously had a small revolving credit line in place with US Bank, which we intend to replace with the new accordion line with PNC Bank. The Company is currently negotiating the terms of the facility. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate the facility. In April 2018, the Company consummated a public offering to facilitate the purchase of inventory to meet customer demand.

The following are highlights of our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2018 versus the three months ended March 31, 2017:

Revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we generated gross revenue of $12,767,789 compared to $11,437,638 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of 11.6%. Our revenue for the quarter was positively impacted by the growth and scale of our core Xing and Búcha brands and our DSD distribution business, and negatively impacted by inventory shortfalls that affected revenue approximately $3.5 million, as estimated by management. We generated net revenue of $11,558,203 and $10,787,801 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, reflective of lower discounts, returns and billbacks as we evolve our distribution systems from primarily a 100% DSD distribution system nationally in 2017, to more of a lower-cost, hybrid distribution route to market.

Gross Margin. Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was 26.4% (excluding shipping costs), compared to 26.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Our cost of goods sold (including shipping) for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $8,509,583 equating to 73.6% of net revenue compared to $7,933,293 equating to 73.5% of net revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Operating Expenses. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, our operating expenses were $5,104,056, an increase of $2,242,607, as compared to $2,861,449 for the three months ended March 31, 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.

EBITDA. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, EBITDA was ($1,286,553) driven by our temporary pressure on working capital and the resulting inability to procure the necessary inventory to meet demand.

Management defines EBITDA as earnings before income tax, depreciation and amortization, one-time compensation and acquisition charges, interest expense, shared-based compensation and other acquisition-related integration charges. Management believes EBITDA to be a meaningful indicator of our performance that provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it removes material one-time and non-recurring charges.

We consider quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing whether to adjust for the impact of items that may be significant or that could affect an understanding of our ongoing financial and business performance or trends.

Non-GAAP information should be considered as supplemental in nature and is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be the same as or comparable to similar non-GAAP measures presented by other companies.

The following table includes the reconciliation of our consolidated US GAAP net loss to our consolidated EBITDA for the three months ended:

Revenues

Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $11,558,203 as compared to $10,787,801 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of 7.1%.

Organic growth of the Búcha Live Kombucha brand contributed to overall revenue growth, with the brand more than tripling in scale since integration and conversion to being shelf stable, along with the contribution of the DSD Division. Most of the new distribution for the Company’s brands is occurring April through June 2018, as the sales cycle for major retailers can be up to a year before resets occur. In 2017 the Company primarily focused on integrating the acquisitions, building the infrastructure, and rearchitecting the brand portfolio and developing new products within its core brands. With those components now largely in place, New Age’s “new” portfolio in broader distribution is in a position to contribute significant greater organic growth.

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $8,941,778, as compared to, $8,352,472 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of 7%. Numerous improvement in cost of goods sold are underway to reduce product costs, reduce shipping and warehouse costs, and to continue to change the mix to achieve the above 35% targeted gross margin (not including shipping) in 2018.

Legal and professional	254,002	73,391
Total operating expenses	$5,104,056	$2,861,449

During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, our operating expenses were $5,104,056, an increase of $2,242,607, as compared to $2,861,449 for the three months ended March 31, 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2018, we had cash of $94,041. The Company has always operated with a limited cash balance. This led management to the decision to raise additional capital through the sale and issuance of an additional 2,285,715 shares of commons stock on April 10, 2018 for net proceeds of approximately $3,500,000. Management believes that the funds received in the public offering provide sufficient working capital, when coupled with the planned line of credit from PNC Bank to continue to support the growth of the Company in 2018. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate the PNC Bank facility upon terms acceptable to the Company.

The acquisitions in 2017 and 2016 substantially improved the Company’s resources, and provided the scale to be profitable. We believe we have sufficient cash and generate sufficient profitability to meet the needs of the integrated operations. We estimate our capital needs over the next twelve-month period to be approximately $3,000,000. We may also seek to sell additional equityand 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

There was no cash activity associated with financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 financing activities consisted of issuance of common stock for $15 million and payments on note payables for $10 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Effects of Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business, revenues or operating results during the periods presented.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.

Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements

During the year ended December 31, 2017, we early adopted the new lease accounting standards issued by the FASB ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. This ASU 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. This ASU 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 lessees for capital and operatingleases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The impact of adopting this standard resulted in an ROU and lease liability on the consolidated balance sheet of approximately $4MM as of March 31, 2018.

We do not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Inventories and Provision for Excess or Expired Inventory

Inventories consist of tea ingredients, packaging and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market value. Provisions for excess inventory are included in cost of goods sold and have historically been immaterial but adequate to provide for losses on its raw materials.

Long-lived Assets

Our long-lived assets consisted of property and equipment and customer relationships and are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the guidance of the FASB Topic ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. We test 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. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, we had not recognized 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.

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 is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. 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.

Intangible assets are recorded at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. 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.

Share-Based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. Stock-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. We account for stock-based compensation to other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50. Equity instruments issued to other than employees 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. We estimate the fair value of stock-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.

Capital Expenditures

Other Capital Expenditures

We expect to incur research and development costs, as well as marketing expenses in connection with the expansion of our business and the development of our products.

Future Contractual Obligations and Commitment

We incur contractual obligations and financial commitments in the normal course of our operations and financing activities. Contractual obligations include future cash payments required under existing contracts, such as debt and lease agreements. These obligations may result from both general financing activities and from commercial arrangements that are directly supported by related operating activities.

As of March 31, 2018 we have no future contractual obligations or commitments, other than lease and debt payments as defined in the Company’s balance sheet.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, we have not entered into any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement with an entity unconsolidated under which it has:

a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to the unconsolidated entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit;

liquidity or market risk support to such entity for such assets;

an obligation, including a contingent obligation, under a contract that would be accounted for as a derivative instrument; or

an obligation, including a contingent obligation, arising out of a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that is held by, and material to us, where such entity provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to or engages in leasing, hedging, or research and development services with us.
