Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Nature of Operations and Segments

 

New Age Beverages Corporation (the “Company”) was formed under the laws of the State of Washington on April 26, 2010. On December 21, 2018, the Company completed a business combination with Morinda Holdings, Inc., a Utah corporation (“Morinda”), whereby Morinda became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. For further information about the Morinda business combination, please refer to Note 3.

 

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”), who is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, allocates resources and assesses performance based on financial information of the Company. The CODM reviews financial information presented for each reporting segment for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. As a result of the business combination with Morinda, the Company changed its operating segments to consist of the Morinda segment and the New Age segment beginning in December 2018. After the Morinda business combination, the Company’s CODM began assessing performance and allocating resources based on the financial information of these two reporting segments. The New Age segment was previously comprised of the Brands segment and the DSD segment which are now combined as a single segment as they are operating with a single management team. Accordingly, the Company’s previous segment disclosures have been restated for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

 

The Morinda segment is engaged in the development, manufacturing, and marketing of Tahitian Noni® Juice, MAX and other noni beverages as well as other nutritional, cosmetic and personal care products. The majority of Morinda’s products have a component of the Noni plant, Morinda Citrifolia (“Noni”) as a common element. The Morinda products are sold and distributed in more than 60 countries throughout the world using independent product consultants (“IPC) through a direct to consumer selling network. The New Age segment 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 New Age brands are sold in all channels of distribution including Hypermarkets, Supermarkets, Pharmacies, Convenience, Gas and other outlets.

 

Legal Structure and Consolidation

 

The Company has four wholly-owned subsidiaries, NABC, Inc., NABC Properties, LLC (“NABC Properties”), New Age Health Sciences Holdings, Inc., and Morinda. NABC, Inc. is a Colorado-based operating company that consolidates performance and financial results of the Company’s subsidiaries and divisions. NABC Properties manages ownership issues for the Company’s facilities (except for those leased by Morinda), and New Age Health Sciences owns the Company’s intellectual property and manages operating performance in the medical and hospital channels.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, included in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2019 (the “2018 Form 10-K”).

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet and related disclosures as of December 31, 2018 have been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements. The Company’s financial condition as of June 30, 2019, and operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the financial condition and results of operations that may be expected for any future interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2019.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnotes have been prepared in accordance with applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. The Company previously elected to opt out of the extended transition period to adopt new or revised accounting standards. Therefore, the Company is required to adopt such standards at the same time as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. The Company currently expects its status as an emerging growth company will terminate after the year ending December 31, 2019.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss, working capital, cash flows and stockholders’ equity.

 

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported in its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, to determine the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company’s significant accounting estimates include, but are not necessarily limited to, estimated useful lives for identifiable intangible assets and property and equipment, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, valuation assumptions for stock options, warrants and equity instruments issued for goods or services, the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, the allowance for sales returns and chargebacks, deferred income taxes and the related valuation allowances, and the evaluation and measurement of contingencies. To the extent there are material differences between the Company’s estimates and the actual results, the Company’s future consolidated results of operation will be affected.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

Inherent in the Company’s business are various risks and uncertainties, including its limited operating history in a rapidly changing industry. These risks include the Company’s ability to manage its rapid growth and its ability to attract new customers and expand sales to existing customers, risks related to litigation, as well as other risks and uncertainties. In the event that the Company does not successfully execute its business plan, certain assets may not be recoverable, certain liabilities may not be paid and investments in its capital stock may not be recoverable. The Company’s success depends upon the acceptance of its expertise in creating products and brands which consumers like and want to buy, development of sales and distribution channels, and its ability to generate significant net revenue and cash flows from the use of this expertise.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recently Adopted Standards. The following recently issued accounting standard was adopted during fiscal year 2019:

 

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which expands the scope of ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. An entity should apply the requirements of ASC 718 to non-employee awards except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost. This new guidance was adopted effective on January 1, 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company granted stock options to non-employees for an aggregate of 25,000 shares of Common Stock with a grant date fair value of $0.1 million. These options vest over three years and resulted in expense recognition of $5,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

 

Standards Required to be Adopted in Future Years. The following accounting standards are not yet effective; management has not completed its evaluation to determine the impact that adoption of these standards will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 amends the guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. This update adds an impairment model (known as the current expected credit losses model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes, as an allowance, its estimate of expected credit losses. In November 2018, ASU 2016-13 was amended by ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. ASU 2018-19 changes the effective date of the credit loss standards (ASU 2016-13) to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Further, the ASU clarifies that operating lease receivables are not within the scope of ASC 326-20 and should instead be accounted for under the new leasing standard, ASC 842. The Company has not yet determined the effect that ASU 2018-19 will have on its results operations, balance sheets or financial statement disclosures.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 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 ASU, 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 charge 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 3 — BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

 

BWR Merger Agreement

 

On May 30, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Brands Within Reach, LLC, a New York limited liability corporation (“BWR”), the sole owner of BWR, and BWR Acquisition Corp., a newly organized New York corporation that was wholly owned by the Company (“Merger Sub”). As discussed in Note 16, the total consideration was approximately $5.9 million. At the closing on July 10, 2019, the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were completed resulting in the merger of Merger Sub with and into BWR and BWR became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. This transaction will be accounted for in the third quarter of 2019 using the acquisition method of accounting based on ASC 805, Business Combinations, and using the fair value concepts set forth in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement.

 

In connection with the BWR merger, the Company made a loan to BWR in the amount of $1.0 million. The terms of this loan provided that it would be settled upon the earlier of the closing of the Merger Agreement or upon demand by the Company beginning on December 31, 2019. Since this loan is effectively a deposit for the business combination, it is included in restricted cash and other in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019.

 

Morinda Merger Agreement

 

On December 2, 2018, the Company entered into a Plan of Merger (the “Morinda Merger Agreement”) with Morinda and New Age Health Sciences Holdings, Inc., a newly formed Utah corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”). On December 21, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), the transactions contemplated by the Morinda Merger Agreement were completed. Merger Sub was merged with and into Morinda and Morinda became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. This transaction is referred to herein as the “Merger”.

 

Pursuant to the Morinda Merger Agreement, Morinda’s equity holders received (i) $75.0 million in cash; (ii) 2,016,480 shares of the Company’s Common Stock with an estimated fair value on the closing Date of approximately $11.0 million, (iii) 43,804 shares of Series D Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) providing for the potential payment of up to $15.0 million contingent upon Morinda achieving certain post-closing milestones, as discussed below.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations of the Series D Preferred Stock (the “CoD”), the holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a dividend of up to an aggregate of $15.0 million (the “Milestone Dividend”) if the Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the CoD) of Morinda is at least $20.0 million for the year ending December 31, 2019. The Milestone Dividend is payable on April 15, 2020. If the Adjusted EBITDA of Morinda is less than $20.0 million, the Milestone Dividend shall be reduced by applying a five-times multiple to the difference between the Adjusted EBITDA target of $20.0 million and actual Adjusted EBITDA for the year ending December 31, 2019. Accordingly, no Milestone Dividend is payable if actual Adjusted EBITDA is $17.0 million or lower. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the estimated fair value of the Milestone Dividend earnout was approximately $6.5 million and $13.1 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the reduction in the fair value of the Milestone Dividend earnout resulted in an unrealized gain of approximately $6.7 million, which is reflected as a reduction of operating expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

The Series D Preferred Stock provides for quarterly dividends to the holders of the Preferred Stock at a rate of 1.5% per annum of the Milestone Dividend amount, payable on a pro rata basis. The Company may pay the Milestone Dividend and /or the annual dividend in cash or in kind, provided that if the Company chooses to pay in kind, the shares of Common Stock issued as payment therefore must be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Preferred Stock shall terminate on April 15, 2020. These quarterly dividends will be reflected as an adjustment to the fair value of the Milestone Dividend earnout liability as the quarterly dividends are settled in future periods. Through June 30, 2019, no quarterly dividends have been paid.

 

Prior to the Merger, Morinda was an S corporation for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, Morinda’s taxable earnings were reported on the individual income tax returns of the stockholders who were responsible for payment of the related income tax liabilities. In December 2018, Morinda agreed to distribute to its stockholders approximately $39.6 million of its previously-taxed S corporation earnings whereby distributions are payable (i) up to $25.0 million for which the timing and amount was subject to completion of the Sale Leaseback transaction discussed in Note 6, and (ii) approximately $14.6 million based on the calculation of excess working capital (“EWC”) as of the Closing Date. EWC is the amount by which Morinda’s actual working capital (as defined in the Merger Agreement) on the Closing Date exceeded $25.0 million. The Closing Date balance sheet of Morinda indicated that EWC was approximately $14.6 million as of the Closing Date.

 

Business Combination Liabilities

 

Presented below is a summary of the earnout obligations related to the Morinda and Marley business combinations and payables to the former Morinda stockholders as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

 

   2019   2018 
         
Marley earnout obligation  $900(1)  $900(1)
Payables to former Morinda stockholders, net of imputed interest discount:          
EWC payable in April 2019   –      (2)(5)   986(2)(5)
EWC payable in July 2019   7,962(2)(5)   7,732(2)(5)
EWC payable in July 2020   5,130(2)(5)   4,976(2)(5)
Earnout under Series D preferred stock   6,469(3)   13,134(3)
Contingent on financing event   –      (4)(5)   24,402(4)(5)
Total   20,461    52,130 
Less current portion   14,431    8,718 
           
Long-term portion  $6,030   $43,412 

 

 

  (1) The Company is obligated to make a one-time earnout payment of $1.25 million over a period of two years beginning at such time that revenue for the Marley reporting unit is equal to or greater than $15.0 million during any trailing twelve calendar month period after the closing. The Marley business combination closed on June 13, 2017, and revenue for the Marley brand is not expected to exceed the $15.0 million earnout threshold during the next 12 months. Payment for 50% of the $1.25 million is due within 15 days after the month in which the earnout payment is triggered, 25% is payable one year after the first payment, and the remaining 25% is payable two years after the first payment. The fair value of the earnout was valued using the weighted average return on assets whereby the fair value increased from $0.8 million to $0.9 million during the first quarter of 2018. The increase in the fair value of the earnout of $0.1 million was recognized as an expense in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
  (2) Pursuant to a separate agreement between the parties, EWC is payable to Morinda’s stockholders for $1.0 million in April 2019, $8.0 million in July 2019, and the remainder of $5.5 million is payable in July 2020.

  (3) The fair value of earnout consideration under the Series D Preferred Stock is based on the probability of achieving the Milestone Dividend, whereby the maximum Milestone Dividend is $15.0 million if the Adjusted EBITDA of Morinda is $20.0 million or more for the year ending December 31, 2019. The fair value of the earnout was $13.1 million as of December 31, 2018 and $6.5 million as of June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, fair value of the earnout was determined using an option pricing model and will continue to be adjusted as additional information becomes available about the progress toward achievement of the Milestone Dividend earnout. The earnout is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Valuation of the earnout was performed by an independent valuation specialist at the original issuance date and as of June 30, 2019. The valuation methodology was performed through an option pricing model based on forecast annual EBITDA, expected volatility of forecast annual EBITDA of 10.0%, the risk-free interest rate of 2.3%, a discount rate applicable to forecast annual EBITDA of 21.5%, a risk premium of 19.2%, and an estimated credit spread of 6.0%. Key Level 3 assumptions inherent in the valuation methodology as of December 31, 2018 included an option pricing model based on forecast annual EBITDA, expected volatility of forecast annual EBITDA of 10.0%, the risk-free interest rate of 2.6%, a discount rate applicable to forecast annual EBITDA of 21.5%, a risk premium of 18.9%, and an estimated credit spread of 5.7%.
  (4) Pursuant to a separate agreement between the parties prior to the consummation of the Merger, Morinda agreed to pay its former stockholders up to $25.0 million from the net proceeds of a sale leaseback to be completed after the Closing Date. As discussed in Note 6, the closing for this transaction occurred on March 22, 2019. Since this payment was to be made from the proceeds of a long-term financing, the net carrying value was classified in long-term liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018. This obligation was paid during the three months ended June 30, 2019.
  (5) Interest was imputed on these obligations based on a credit and tax adjusted interest rate of 6.1% for the period from the Closing Date until the respective contractual or estimated payment dates. Accretion of discount related to these obligations amounted to an aggregate of $0.4 million and $1.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, which is included in interest expense in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Pro Forma Disclosures

Docklight Agreement and Marley License Extension

 

On January 14, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with Docklight LLC (“Docklight”) for the exclusive licensing rights in the United States for the manufacturing, sale, distribution, marketing and advertising of certain products which include shelf-stable, ready to drink, non-alcoholic, consumer beverages infused with Cannabidiol derived from hemp-based or synthetic sources. The licensed property includes the name, image, likeness, caricature, signature and biography of Bob Marley, the trademarks MARLEY and BOB MARLEY for use in connection with the Company’s existing licensed marks. The initial term of the Docklight license expires in January 2024, unless extended or earlier terminated as provided in the agreement. As consideration for the license, the Company agreed to pay a fee equal to fifty percent of the gross margin, as defined in the agreement, on future sales of approved licensed products, which fee shall be reviewed annually by the parties. Through June 30, 2019, the Company has not commenced sales of the licensed products and, accordingly, no fees have been incurred.

 

On March 28, 2019, the Company extended its license agreement with Marley Merchandising LLC through March 31, 2030. As consideration for the extension, the Company issued a warrant that was immediately exercisable for 200,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.14 per share. This warrant is exercisable for ten years and had a grant date fair value of $0.8 million, which is included in the table above for other license agreements. This intangible asset is being amortized over the remaining term of the Marley license. Fair value of the warrant was determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model. Key assumptions included an expected term of five years, volatility of 115%, and a risk-free interest rate of 2.2%.

 

Amortization of Identifiable Intangible Assets

 

Amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets was $1.3 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets was $2.6 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In order to more closely reflect the estimated economic life of the license agreement acquired in the June 2017 acquisition of Marley, the Company revised the estimated useful life from 42 years to 15 years during the fourth quarter of 2018. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, total amortization expense related to this license agreement was approximately $0.1 million and $36,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, total amortization expense related to this license agreement was approximately $0.2 million and $72,000, respectively.

NOTE 6 — LEASES

 

The Company leases various office and warehouse facilities, vehicles and equipment under non-cancellable operating lease agreements that expire between July 2019 and March 2039. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company had operating lease expense of $2.9 million and $0.3 million respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company had operating lease expense of $5.2 million and $0.6 million respectively.

 

On January 21, 2019, the Company entered into a lease for approximately 11,200 square feet of office space in the downtown area of Denver, Colorado. The monthly obligation for base rent will average approximately $33,000 per month over the lease term which expires in December 2029. The Company has options to terminate the lease after 90 months as well as the option to extend the lease for an additional period of five years. The Company determined the right-of-use (“ROU”) lease liability of $2.8 million based upon a discount rate of 6.1% and assuming that the Company will not exercise its options to terminate the lease after 90 months or extend the lease for an additional five years.

 

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company entered into operating lease obligations for transportation equipment. These leases provide for fixed minimum payments of approximately $17,000 per month over the eight-year lease term for an aggregate commitment of $1.7 million. The present value of these obligations of $1.3 million was recorded as ROU lease assets and ROU lease liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The Company determined the ROU lease liabilities based upon a discount rate of 6.1%.

 

On April 3, 2019, the Company entered into a lease for approximately 156,000 square feet of warehouse space in Aurora Colorado. The monthly obligation for base rent averages approximately $66,000 per month over the lease term which expires in July 2029. The Company has an option to extend the lease for an additional period of five years. The Company determined the right-of-use (“ROU”) lease liability of approximately $6.0 million based upon a discount rate of 6.1% and assuming that the Company will not exercise its option to extend the lease for an additional five years.

 

Sale Leaseback

 

On March 22, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with a major Japanese real estate company resulting in the sale for approximately $57.1 million of the land and building in Tokyo that serves as the corporate headquarters of Morinda’s Japanese subsidiary. Concurrently with the sale, the Company entered into a lease of this property for a term of 27 years. The monthly lease cost is Ą20.0 million (approximately $181,000 as of June 30, 2019) for the initial seven-year term, and thereafter either party may elect to adjust the monthly lease payment to the then current market rate for similar buildings in Tokyo. In order to secure its obligations under the lease, the Company provided a refundable security deposit of approximately $1.8 million. At any time after the initial seven-year term, the Company may elect to terminate the lease. However, if the lease is terminated before the 20th anniversary of the date the lease was entered into, then the Company will be obligated to perform certain restoration obligations that are currently estimated to cost between $1.6 million and $2.2 million. The Company determined that the restoration obligation is a significant penalty whereby there is reasonable certainty that the Company will not elect to terminate the lease prior to the 20-year anniversary. Therefore, the lease term was determined to be 20 years.

As shown above, the sale of this property resulted in a gain of $24.1 million and the Company determined that $17.6 million of the gain was the result of above-market rent inherent in the leaseback arrangement. The remainder of the gain of $6.4 million was attributable to the highly competitive process among the entities that bid to purchase the property. The $17.6 million portion of the gain related to above market rent is being accounted for as a lease concession whereby the gain will result in a reduction of rent expense of approximately $0.9 million per year over the 20-year lease term. The present value of the lease payments amounted to $25.0 million. After deducting the $17.6 million lease incentive concession, the Company recognized an initial ROU lease asset and ROU lease liability of approximately $7.4 million.

 

Impairment

 

In June 2019, the Company began attempting to sublease a portion of its ROU lease assets previously used for warehouse space that are no longer needed for current operations. As a result, an impairment evaluation was completed that resulted in recognition of an impairment charge of $1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. This evaluation was based on the expected time to obtain a suitable subtenant and current market rates for similar commercial properties.

Credit Facility

 

On March 29, 2019, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with East West Bank (“EWB”). The Credit Facility matures on March 29, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”) and provides for (i) a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $15.0 million, which may be increased to $25.0 million subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions (the “Term Loan”) and (ii) a $10.0 million revolving loan facility (the “EWB Revolver”). At the closing, EWB funded $25.0 million to the Company consisting of the $15.0 million Term Loan and $10.0 million as an advance under the EWB Revolver. The Company utilized a portion of the proceeds from the Credit Facility to repay all outstanding amounts and terminate the Siena Revolver discussed below.

 

The obligations of the Company under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all assets of the Company and guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company. The Credit Facility requires compliance with certain financial and restrictive covenants and includes customary events of default. Key financial covenants include maintenance of minimum Adjusted EBITDA and a maximum Total Leverage Ratio (all as defined and set forth in the Credit Facility). During any period when an event of default occurs, the Credit Facility provides for interest at a rate that is 3.0% above the rate otherwise applicable to such obligations.

 

Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility bear interest at the Prime Rate plus 0.25%. However, if the Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) is equal to or greater than 1.50 to 1.00, borrowings will bear interest at the Prime Rate plus 0.50%. The Company may voluntarily prepay amounts outstanding under the EWB Revolver on ten business days’ prior notice to EWB without prepayment charges. In the event the EWB Revolver is terminated prior to the Maturity Date, the Company would be required to pay an early termination fee in the amount of 0.50% of the revolving line. Additional borrowing requests under the EWB Revolver are subject to various customary conditions precedent, including satisfaction of a borrowing base test as more fully described in the Credit Facility. The EWB Revolver also provides for an unused line fee equal to 0.5% per annum of the undrawn portion. The EWB Revolver includes a subjective acceleration clause and a lockbox arrangement where the Company is required to direct its customers to remit payments to a restricted bank account, whereby all available funds are used to pay down the outstanding principal balance under the EWB Revolver. Accordingly, the entire outstanding principal balance of the EWB Revolver is classified as a current liability as of June 30, 2019. On July 1, 2019, the Company elected to make a voluntary prepayment of $9.7 million of principal to repay all outstanding borrowings under the EWB Revolver. Subject to the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company may reborrow up to $10.0 million under the EWB Revolver through the Maturity Date.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Payments under the Term Loan are interest-only for the first six months and are followed by monthly principal payments of $125,000 amortized over the remaining term of the Term Loan plus interest. The Company may elect to prepay the Term Loan before the Maturity Date on 10 business days’ notice to EWB subject to a prepayment fee of 2% for the first year of the Term Loan and 1% for the second year of the Term Loan. No later than 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019, the Company is required to make a payment towards the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan in an amount equal to 35% of the Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Facility), if the Total Leverage Ratio is less than 1.50 to 1.00 or (i) 50% of the Excess Cash Flow if the Total Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00. Mandatory principal payments based on Excess Cash Flow generated in subsequent quarters are excluded from current liabilities since they are contingent payments based on the generation of working capital in the future.

 

Siena Revolver

 

On August 10, 2018 (the “Siena Closing Date”), the Company entered into a loan and security agreement with Siena Lending Group LLC (“Siena”) that provided for a $12.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Siena Revolver”) with a scheduled maturity date of August 10, 2021. Outstanding borrowings provided for interest at the greater of (i) 7.5% or (ii) the prime rate plus 2.75%. As of December 31, 2018, the effective interest rate was 8.25%. The Siena Revolver also provided for an unused line fee equal to 0.5% per annum of the undrawn portion of the $12.0 million commitment. The Siena Revolver was subject to availability based on eligible accounts receivables and eligible inventory of the Company. As of December 31, 2018, the borrowing base calculation permitted total borrowings of approximately $2.5 million. Pursuant to the Siena Revolver, the Company granted a security interest in substantially all assets and intellectual property of the Company and its subsidiaries, except for such assets owned by Morinda.

 

In connection with the Siena Revolver the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $0.6 million. This amount was accounted for as debt issuance costs that was amortized using the straight-line method over the three-year term of the Siena Revolver. The Siena Revolver was paid off and terminated on March 29, 2019 and the unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.5 million were written off as additional interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Additionally, the Company incurred a make-whole premium payment of $0.5 million that was also charged to interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Embedded Derivatives

 

The Siena Revolver included features that were determined to be embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation and accounting as separate financial instruments. The Company determined that embedded derivatives included the requirement to pay (i) an early termination premium if the Siena Revolver was terminated before the maturity date in August 2021, and (ii) default interest at a 5.0% premium if events of default existed. The early termination premium was 4.0% of the $12.0 million commitment if termination occurred during the first year after the Siena Closing Date. As of December 31, 2018, the embedded derivatives for the Siena Revolver had an aggregate fair value of approximately $0.5 million, which was included in accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2018. As a result of the termination of the Siena Revolver as discussed above, a make-whole premium of $0.5 million was incurred on March 29, 2019, and the Company recognized a gain on change in fair value of embedded derivatives of $0.5 million which is included in non-operating income (expenses) for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Amendment to Articles of Incorporation

 

On May 30, 2019, the Company’s stockholders voted to approve an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation increasing the authorized shares of Common Stock from 100,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares.

 

At the Market Offering Agreement

 

On April 30, 2019, the Company entered into an At the Market Offering Agreement (the “ATM Offering Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (the “Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell from time to time up to an aggregate of $100 million in shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Placement Shares), through the Agent. The Agent will act as sales agent and will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell on the Company’s behalf all of the Placement Shares requested to be sold by the Company, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, on mutually agreed terms between the Agent and the Company.

 

The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Placement Shares under the ATM Offering Agreement. The ATM Offering Agreement terminates on April 30, 2020 and may be earlier terminated by the Company upon five business days’ notice to the Agent and at any time by the Agent or by the mutual agreement of the parties. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital. Under the terms of the ATM Offering Agreement, the Company will pay the Agent a commission equal to 3% of the gross proceeds from the gross sales price of the Placement Shares up to $30 million, and 2.5% of the gross proceeds from the gross sales price of the Placement Shares in excess of $30 million. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay certain expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the offering. Through June 30, 2019, an aggregate of approximately 2.2 million shares of Common Stock were sold for net proceeds of approximately $11.4 million. Total commissions and fees deducted from the net proceeds were $0.4 million and other offering costs of $0.2 million were incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

NOTE 9 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

2019 Equity Incentive Plan

 

On May 30, 2019, the Company’s stockholders voted to approve the New Age Beverages Corporation 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”). The 2019 Plan will terminate in April 2029. A total of up to 10.0 million shares of Common Stock may be issued under the 2019 Plan. Participation in the 2019 Plan is limited to employees, non-employee directors, and consultants.

 

The 2019 Plan provides for grants of both incentive stock options, or “ISOs”, which are subject to special income tax treatment, and non-statutory options, or “NSOs.” Eligibility for ISOs is limited to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The exercise price of an ISO cannot be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of grant. In addition, the expiration date of an ISO cannot be more than ten years after the date of the original grant. In the case of NSOs, the exercise price and the expiration date are determined in the discretion of the administrator. The administrator also determines all other terms and conditions related to the exercise of an option, including the consideration to be paid, if any, for the grant of the option, the time at which options may be exercised and conditions related to the exercise of options.

 

The 2019 Plan also provides for awards of shares of restricted Common Stock. Awards of restricted stock may be made in exchange for services or other lawful consideration. Generally, awards of restricted stock are subject to the requirement that the shares be forfeited or resold to the Company unless specified conditions are met. Subject to these restrictions, conditions and forfeiture provisions, any recipient of an award of restricted stock will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including the right to vote the shares and to receive dividends. The 2019 Plan also provides for deferred grants (“deferred stock”) entitling the recipient to receive shares of Common Stock in the future on such conditions as the administrator may specify. As of June 30, 2019, all of the 10.0 million shares authorized under the 2019 Plan are available for future grants of stock options, restricted stock and similar instruments.

 

LTI Stock Option Plan

 

On August 3, 2016, the Company’s approved and implemented the New Age Beverages Corporation 2016-2017 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “LTI Plan”). The LTI Plan provides for stock options to be granted to employees, directors and consultants at an exercise price not less than 100% of the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock on the grant date. The options granted generally have a maximum term of 10 years from the grant date and are exercisable upon vesting. Option grants generally vest over a period between one and three years after the grant date of such award. The number of shares reserved for grants is adjusted annually on the first day of January whereby a maximum of 10% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock are available for grant under the LTI Plan. Accordingly, as of January 1, 2019, a maximum of approximately 7.5 million shares of Common Stock were available for grants under the LTI Plan. As of June 30, 2019, after deducting stock options and restricted stock grants to date, there were approximately 2.3 million shares available for future grants of stock options, restricted stock and similar instruments under the LTI Plan.

 

Stock Option Activity

 

The following table sets forth the summary of stock option activity under the LTI Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2019 (shares in thousands):

 

   Shares   Price (1)   Term (2)

NEW AGE BEVERAGES CORPORATION

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

As of June 30, 2019, unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options amounts to $3.9 million. This amount is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the weighted-average vesting period of 2.3 years.

 

The fair value of stock options granted under the LTI Plan was estimated on the date of grant using the BSM option-pricing model, with the following weighted-average assumptions for the six months ended June 30, 2019:

 

Grant date fair value of common stock (exercise price)  $5.41 
Expected life (in years)   6.5 
Volatility   113%
Dividend yield   0%
Risk-free interest rate   2.4%

 

Based on the assumptions set forth above, the weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $4.65 per share. The BSM model requires various highly subjective assumptions that represent management’s best estimates of the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock, volatility, risk-free interest rates, expected term, and dividend yield. The expected term represents the weighted-average period that options granted are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules. Since the Company does not have an extended history of actual exercises, the Company has estimated the expected term using a simplified method which calculates the expected term as the average of the time-to-vesting and the contractual life of the awards. The Company has never declared or paid cash dividends and does not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future; therefore, the Company used an expected dividend yield of zero. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury rates in effect during the expected term of the grant. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s Common Stock for the period beginning in August 2016 when its shares were first publicly traded through the grant date of the respective stock options.

 

Restricted Stock Activity

 

In connection with the business combination with Morinda in December 2018, the Company made restricted stock award grants for an aggregate of 1.2 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock. None of these shares will be issued until a vesting event occurs. Upon vesting of the Morinda awards, settlement will occur in (i) cash where foreign regulatory requirements prohibit settlement in shares, (ii) shares of Common Stock, or (iii) a combination of shares and cash at the Company’s election for certain awards. The following table sets forth a summary of restricted stock award activity for the six months ended June 30, 2019 (in thousands):

(1)The weighted average fair value was $5.50 per share based on the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the grant date.
(2)As of June 30, 2019, unvested shares of restricted stock consist of approximately 0.7 million shares that will be issued upon vesting and 0.2 million shares that have been issued subject to vesting conditions. For unvested shares that have been issued, approximately $0.4 million of unvested compensation is included in prepaid expenses as of June 30, 2019. Outstanding unvested shares include awards for 216,000 shares that vest if Morinda achieves EBITDA of $20.0 million for the year ending December 31, 2019. The Company assesses the probability of achievement of such performance conditions in the recognition of compensation expense related to these awards.
(3)Due to Morinda’s foreign operations, these awards will be settled in cash upon vesting since regulatory requirements prohibit settlement in shares. These awards vest between one and three years after the grant date and are classified as liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets based on the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock at the end of each reporting period. The liability is being recorded with a corresponding charge to stock-based compensation expense over the vesting period. As of June 30, 2019, approximately $1.2 million is included in current liabilities.
(4)Change in unvested compensation resulted from a decrease in the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
(5)Consists of restricted stock issued to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in 2016 that vested over three years. The remaining shares became fully vested in March and April 2019 and the remaining compensation charge was recorded.
(6)The intrinsic value was based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock of $4.66 per share on the last trading day for June 2019.

NOTE 10 — INCOME TAXES

 

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 resulted in income tax expense of $7.8 million and $6.1 million, respectively. The effective tax rate as a percentage of pre-tax earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was negative 108.5% and negative 84.8%, respectively. The negative effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was due to the establishment of a valuation allowance applied to the Company’s domestic net deferred tax assets of $3.3 million and the reversal of the benefit recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The negative effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was due to establishment of the valuation allowance. The Company continues to maintain a taxable income position in its foreign jurisdictions.

 

A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to amounts expected to be realized. As of June 30, 2019, we evaluated our domestic net deferred tax assets and liabilities and determined that a valuation allowance was necessary. The determination was made primarily due to the existence of negative evidence of historical domestic net operating losses, possible limitations on the usability of certain net operating losses, and uncertainty regarding future domestic taxability due to the Company’s operations, and the reversal of taxable temporary differences. The establishment of this valuation allowance resulted in an adjustment of $7.4 million and $3.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

 

The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for 2015 through 2017 are open to examination for federal tax purposes. In major foreign jurisdictions, the Company is generally no longer subject to income tax examinations for years before 2012. However, statutes in certain countries may be as long as ten years.

 

The total outstanding balance for liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2019 was $0.4 million, which would favorably impact the effective tax rate if recognized. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2018. The increase in 2019 relates to tax audits in foreign jurisdictions, transfer pricing adjustments, and state tax expense. The Company does not anticipate that unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months.

 

Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, recording valuation allowances against deferred income tax assets and evaluating the Company’s uncertain tax positions. In evaluating the ability to recover its deferred income tax assets, in full or in part, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including past operating results, forecast of future market growth, forecasted earnings, future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.

 

Interim income taxes are based on an estimated annualized effective tax rate applied to the respective quarterly periods, adjusted for discrete tax items in the period in which they occur. Although the Company believes its tax estimates are reasonable, the Company can make no assurance that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be different from that which it has reflected in its historical income tax provisions and accruals. Such differences could have a material impact on the Company’s income tax provision and operating results in the period in which the Company makes such determination.

 

At December 31, 2018, the Company has federal NOL carryforwards of approximately $36.3 million, of which $24.9 million does not expire and $11.4 million will begin to expire in 2023. Additionally, the Company has varying amounts of NOL carryforwards in the U.S. states in which it does business that start to expire in 2023. Federal and state laws impose substantial restrictions on the utilization of NOL and tax credit carryforwards in the event of an ownership change for income tax purposes, as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

NOTE 11 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Executive Deferred Compensation Plan

 

Morinda’s Board of Directors implemented an unfunded executive deferred compensation plan in 2009 for certain executives of Morinda. All financial performance targets under the plan were achieved as of December 31, 2018, and a long-term liability of $4.1 million is included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. After the executives retire, the deferred compensation obligation is payable over a period up to 20 years.

 

401(k) Plan

 

The Company has a defined contribution employee benefit plan under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “401(k) Plan”). The 401(k) Plan covers all eligible U.S. employees who are entitled to participate at the beginning of the first full quarter following commencement of employment. The Company matches contributions up to 3% of the participating employee’s compensation, and these matching contributions vest over four years with 0% vested through the end of the first year of service and 33% vesting upon completion of each of the next three years of service. Total contributions to the 401(k) Plan amounted to $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The Company did not have a 401(k) Plan for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

 

Foreign Benefit Plans

 

Morinda has an unfunded retirement benefit plan for the Company’s Japanese branch that entitles substantially all employees in Japan, other than directors, to retirement payments. Morinda also has an unfunded retirement benefit plan in Indonesia that entitles all permanent employees to retirement payments.

 

Upon termination of employment, the Morinda employees of the Japanese branch are generally entitled to retirement benefits determined by reference to basic rates of pay at the time of termination, years of service, and conditions under which the termination occurs. If the termination is involuntary or caused by retirement at the mandatory retirement age of 65, the employee is entitled to a greater payment than in the case of voluntary termination. Morinda employees in Indonesia whose service is terminated are generally entitled to retirement benefits determined by reference to basic rates of pay at the time of termination, years of service and conditions under which the termination occurs. The unfunded benefit obligation for these defined benefit pension plans was approximately $3.3 and $3.0 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Of this amount, approximately $3.2 and $2.9 million is included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

Contingencies

 

The Company’s operations are subject to numerous governmental rules and regulations in each of the countries it does business. These rules and regulations include a complex array of tax and customs regulations as well as restrictions on product ingredients and claims, the commissions paid to the Company’s IPCs, labeling and packaging of products, conducting business as a direct-selling business, and other facets of manufacturing and selling products. In some instances, the rules and regulations may not be fully defined under the law or are otherwise unclear in their application. Additionally, laws and regulations can change from time to time, as can their interpretation by the courts, administrative bodies, and the tax and customs authorities in each country. The Company actively seeks to be in compliance, in all material respects, with the laws of each of the countries in which it does business and expects its IPCs to do the same. The Company’s operations are often subject to review by local country tax and customs authorities and inquiries from other governmental agencies. No assurance can be given that the Company’s compliance with governmental rules and regulations will not be challenged by the authorities or that such challenges will not result in assessments or required changes in the Company’s business that could have a material impact on its business, consolidated financial statements and cash flow.

 

The Company has various non-income tax contingencies in several countries. Such exposure could be material depending upon the ultimate resolution of each situation. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company has recorded a current liability under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 450, Contingencies, of approximately $0.8 million.

 

From time to time, the Company may be a party to litigation and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company currently believes that the final outcome of these ordinary course matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

Guarantee Deposits

 

Morinda has deposits in Korea for collateral on IPC returns dictated by law, and collateral to credit card companies for guarantee of IPC payments. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, guarantee deposits of approximately $0.8 million are included in other long-term assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

NOTE 12 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company granted restricted stock awards to five non-employee members of the Board of Directors for an aggregate of 90,910 and 153,000 shares of Common Stock. The fair value of these shares was based on the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the grant date and amounted to an aggregate of $0.5 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Compensation expense is recognized over the 12-month vesting period after the respective grant dates for these restricted stock awards. Please refer to Note 9 for additional information about restricted stock awards.

 

NOTE 13 —NET LOSS PER SHARE

 

Net loss per share is computed by dividing loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The calculation of diluted net loss per share includes dilutive stock options, unvested restricted stock awards, and other Common Stock equivalents computed using the treasury stock method, in order to compute the weighted average number of shares outstanding. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, basic and diluted net loss per share were the same since all Common Stock equivalents were anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, the following potential Common Stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share since the impact of inclusion was anti-dilutive (in thousands):

 

   2019   2018 
         
Stock options   2,560    1,257

NOTE 14 — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND SIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATIONS

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. When determining fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it transacts and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair measurement:

 

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date

 

Level 2—Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability, either directly or indirectly through market collaboration, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability

 

Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date

 

The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, payables to former Morinda shareholders, and notes payable approximate their carrying values as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The contingent consideration obligations incurred in the business combinations with Marley and Morinda are recorded at estimated fair value as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. In addition, the net assets acquired in the business combinations discussed in Note 3 were generally recorded at fair market value on the date of closing. The Company did not have any other nonrecurring assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

NEW AGE BEVERAGES CORPORATION

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The Company’s interest rate swap, earnout obligations under business combinations, and embedded derivative liability are the only liabilities that have been carried at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s interest rate swap was recorded at fair market value and was classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s earnout obligations under business combinations are recorded at fair market value and have been classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s embedded derivative liability was recorded at fair market value and was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Details of the business combination earnout obligations, including valuation methodology and key assumptions and estimates used, are disclosed in Note 3. Details of the interest rate swap and the embedded derivative liabilities, including valuation methodology and key assumptions and estimates used, are disclosed in Note 7. The Company’s policy is to recognize asset or liability transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 as of the actual date of the events or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no transfers of its assets or liabilities between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Significant Concentrations

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, no single customer comprised more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated net revenue. For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, one customer comprised approximately 11% of the Company’s consolidated net revenue. A substantial portion of the Morinda segment is conducted in foreign markets, exposing the Company to the risks of trade or foreign exchange restrictions, increased tariffs, foreign currency fluctuations and similar risks associated with foreign operations. Approximately 70% of the Company’s consolidated net revenue and 90% of Morinda’s net revenue for 2019 is expected to be generated outside the United States, primarily in the Asia Pacific market. Morinda’s Tahitian Noni® Juice, MAX and other noni-based beverage products are expected to comprise over 85% of Morinda’s net revenue for 2019. However, if consumer demand for these products decreases significantly or if the Company ceases to offer these products without a suitable replacement, the Company’s consolidated financial condition and operating results would be adversely affected. The Company purchases fruit and other Noni-based raw materials from French Polynesia, but these purchases of materials are from a wide variety of individual suppliers with no single supplier accounting for more than 10% of its raw material purchases for the six months ended June 30, 2019. However, as the majority of the raw materials are consolidated and processed at the Company’s plant in Tahiti, the Company could be negatively affected by certain governmental actions or natural disasters if they occurred in that region of the world.

 

Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at high-quality financial institutions. Cash deposits, including those held in foreign branches of global banks often exceed the amount of insurance, if any, provided on such deposits. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents with four financial institution in the United States with balances of $22.9 million, $8.4 million, $1.8 million and $1.0 million; three financial institutions in China with balances of $10.7 million, $4.5 million and $1.0 million; and two financial institutions in Japan with balances of $22.0 million and $6.2 million. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had cash and cash equivalents with a single financial institution in the United States with a balance of $6.5 million, and two financial institutions in China with balances of $14.5 million and $8.0 million. The Company has never experienced any losses related to its investments in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash.

 

Generally, credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is diversified due to the number of entities comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across different geographies and industries. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations on certain customers and generally does not require collateral on accounts receivable. The Company maintains reserves for potential bad debts and historically such losses have been insignificant. As of June 30, 2019, the Company did not have any customers with an accounts receivable balance in excess of 10% of consolidated accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had two customers that comprised 11% and 10% of accounts receivable, net.

 

NOTE 15 — SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATIONS

 

Reportable Segments

 

The Company follows segment reporting in accordance with ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting. As a result of the business combination with Morinda in December 2018 as discussed in Note 3, the Company has changed its operating segments to consist of the Morinda segment and the New Age segment. The New Age segment was previously comprised of the Brands segment and the DSD segment which are now combined as a single segment as they are operating with a single management team. After the Morinda business combination, the Company’s CODM began assessing performance and allocating resources based on the financial information of these two reporting segments. Accordingly, the Company’s previous segment disclosures have been restated for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

Our Business Model

 

We are a healthy beverages and lifestyles company engaged in the development and commercialization of a portfolio of organic, natural and other better-for-you healthy beverages, liquid dietary supplements, and other healthy lifestyle products. We compete in the growth segments of the beverage industry as a leading one-stop shop supplier for major retailers and distributors. We also are one of the few companies that commercializes its business across multiple channels including traditional retail, e-commerce, direct to consumer, and the medical channel. 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 also offer liquid dietary supplement products, including Tahitian Noni® Juice, through a direct-to-consumer model using independent distributors called independent product consultants (“IPCs”). We differentiate our brands through functional performance characteristics and ingredients and offer products that are 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 one of largest healthy beverage companies in the world as well as one of the fastest growing beverage companies according to Beverage Industry Magazine annual rankings. Our goal is to become the world’s leading healthy beverage company, with leading brands for consumers, and leading growth for retailers and distributors. 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 beverage choices. We believe 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.

We market our RTD beverage products using a range of marketing mediums, including in-store merchandising and promotions, experiential marketing, events, and sponsorships, digital marketing and social media, direct marketing, and traditional media including print, radio and outdoor.

 

Our core business is to develop, market, sell, and distribute healthy liquid dietary supplements and ready-to-drink beverages. The beverage industry comprises $870 billion in annual revenue according to Euromonitor and Booz & Company and is highly competitive with three to four major multibillion-dollar multinationals that dominate the sector. We compete by differentiating our brands as healthier and better-for-you alternatives that are natural, organic, and/or have no artificial ingredients or sweeteners. Our brands include Tahitian Noni Juice, TruAge, Xing Tea, Aspen Pure®, Marley, Búcha® Live Kombucha, PediaAde, Coco Libre, BioShield, and ‘NHANCED Recovery, all competing in the existing growth and newly emerging dynamic growth segments of the beverage industry. Morinda also has several additional consumer product offerings, including a TeMana line of skin care and lip products, a Noni + Collagen ingestible skin care product, wellness supplements, and a line of essential oils.

Key Components of Consolidated Statements of Operations

 

Net Revenue. We recognize revenue when products are delivered and when title and the risk of ownership passes to our customers. Revenue consists of the gross sales price, net of estimated returns and allowances, discounts, and personal rebates that are accounted for as a reduction from the gross sale price. Shipping and handling charges that are billed to customers are included as a component of revenue.

 

Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold primarily consists of direct costs attributable to the production of goods by Morinda as well as third party manufacturers. It also includes freight costs, shrinkage, ecommerce fulfillment, distribution and warehousing costs related to products sold.

 

Commissions. Commissions earned by our sales and marketing personnel are charged to expense in the same period that the related sales transactions are recognized.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs for our administrative, human resources, finance and accounting employees and executives. General and administrative expenses also include contract labor and consulting costs, travel-related expenses, legal, auditing and other professional fees, rent and facilities costs, repairs and maintenance, advertising and marketing costs, and general corporate expenses.

 

Change in Fair Value of Earnout Obligations. When we enter into business combinations, the acquisition-related transaction costs are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which such costs are incurred. When we enter business combinations, a portion of the consideration may be contingent on future operating performance of the acquired business. In these circumstances, we determine the fair value of the contingent consideration as a component of the purchase price, and all future changes in the fair value of our obligations is reflected as an adjustment to our operating expenses in the period that the change is determined. In periods when the fair value of contingent consideration increases, we recognize an expense and when the fair value of contingent consideration decreases, we recognize a gain.

 

Impairment of right-of-use lease assets. We perform an evaluation to determine if impairment exists when we decide to cease using certain right-of-use lease assets and decide to sublease space that is no longer needed for current operations. If we determine that a loss is expected to occur due to a delay in engaging with a qualified subtenant and/or due to unfavorable market rates for similar commercial properties, we recognize an impairment charge based on the expected discounted cash flows.

 

 C: 
31
 

 

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense consist of depreciation expense related to property, plant and equipment, amortization expense related to leasehold improvements, and amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets.

 

Interest expense. Interest expense is incurred under our revolving credit facilities and other debt obligations. The components of interest expense include the amount of interest payable in cash at the stated interest rate, make-whole applicable premium, accretion and amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs, and the write-off of debt discounts and issuance costs if we prepay the debt before the maturity date.

 

Other debt financing expenses. Other debt financing expenses are incurred pursuant to our former Siena Revolver and our new EWB Credit Facility. The components of other debt financing expenses include collateral monitoring fees, unused line fees required to ensure our availability to funding, and other fees charged by the lenders.

 

Gain on change in fair value of embedded derivatives. The Siena Revolver contains features referred to as embedded derivatives that are required to be bifurcated and recorded at fair value. Embedded derivatives include requirements to pay default interest upon the existence of an event of default and to pay “make-whole” interest for certain mandatory and voluntary prepayments of the outstanding principal balance under the Siena Revolver. We perform valuations of the embedded derivatives on a quarterly basis. Changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives are reflected as a non-operating gain or loss in our consolidated statements of operations.

 

Interest and other income (expense), net. Interest and other income (expense), net consists primarily of interest income on short term highly liquid investments in money market funds, net of non-operating expenses.

 

Gains from sale of property and equipment. Gains from the sale of property and equipment are reflected in the period that the sale transaction closes.

 

Income tax expense. The provision for income taxes is based on the amount of our taxable income and enacted federal, state and foreign tax rates, as adjusted for allowable credits and deductions. Our provision for current income taxes consists only of foreign taxes for the periods presented as we had no taxable income for U.S. federal or state purposes.

(1)      Percentage is not applicable since no amounts were incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

 

Revenue. Net revenue increased from $13.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $66.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $53.0 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the vast majority of this increase was attributable to the Morinda segment which generated net revenue of $52.1 million. Since the Morinda acquisition closed on December 21, 2018, no revenue was generated by this segment for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Net revenue for the New Age segment increased by 7% from $13.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $14.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in net revenue for the New Age segment was primarily attributable to an increase in revenue in our DSD division.

 

Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold increased from $11.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $24.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $13.1 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, $13.3 million of this increase was attributable to the Morinda segment. Since the Morinda acquisition closed on December 21, 2018, no cost of goods sold was incurred by this segment for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The remainder of the increase in cost of goods sold was attributable to the New Age segment which increased from $9.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $13.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of 13%. This increase in cost of goods sold for the New Age segment was due to higher product costs incurred in the second half of 2018 due to smaller production runs and buying raw materials in smaller amounts on the spot market, so we were not getting economies of scale with our purchasing which was related to our working capital constraints in 2018. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, we continued to cycle through these higher cost inventories which increased our cost of goods sold. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2019 we completed full inventory counts and reconciliations which resulted in an expense of $1.6 million.

Gross profit. Gross profit increased from $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $41.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $39.9 million. Gross margin increased from 13% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to 63% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in gross profit and gross margin was attributable to the Morinda segment due to the business combination with Morinda on December 21, 2018. The increase in gross profit of $39.9 million was attributable to the Morinda segment which accounted for $40.5 million of gross profit and was partially offset by a reduction of $0.6 million in gross profit for the New Age segment. As discussed above, the reduction of $0.6 million in gross profit for the New Age segment for the three months ended June 30, 2019, was due to product costs that increased by 13% whereas net revenues only increased by 7%.

 

Commissions. Commissions increased from $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $19.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $19.3 million. This increase was due to the Morinda business combination which resulted in commissions of $19.2 million, or approximately 37% of the net revenue generated by the Morinda segment. Under Morinda’s business model, commissions typically range between 37% and 40% of net revenue whereas commissions for the New Age segment are typically about 3% of net revenue.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $28.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $24.0 million. This increase was primarily attributable to (i) $21.1 million related to the Morinda segment, (ii) an increase in compensation and benefits for the New Age segment of $1.6 million, and (iii) an increase in rent and occupancy costs for the New Age segment of $0.8 million primarily related to our new Denver location and our Aurora warehouse.

 

The key components of selling, general and administrative expenses for the Morinda segment consist of (i) compensation and benefit costs of $12.3 million, including stock-based compensation expense of $1.5 million, (ii) business meetings, awards, promotions and travel of $3.5 million, (iii) rent, repairs and other occupancy costs of $2.6 million, and (iv) professional fees of $0.7 million, and (v) transaction fees, communications expense and other of $2.0 million.

 

Change in fair value of earnout obligations. In connection with the Morinda business combination, we are obligated to make an earnout payment referred to as a Milestone Dividend up to an aggregate of $15.0 million if the Adjusted EBITDA of Morinda is at least $20.0 million for the year ending December 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of the Milestone Dividend was approximately $6.5 million and $13.1 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the reduction in the fair value of the Milestone Dividend resulted in an unrealized gain of approximately $6.7 million. Depending on the progress toward achieving the Milestone Dividend for the third quarter of 2019, we may recognize (i) additional unrealized gains up to $6.5 million if the fair value of the Milestone Dividend decreases further during the third quarter of 2019, or (ii) an unrealized loss up to $8.5 million if the fair value of the Milestone Dividend increases to the maximum value of $15.0 million.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $1.5 million. This increase was due to approximately $0.6 million of depreciation and $0.9 million of amortization related to the Morinda acquisition that closed on December 21, 2018. As of June 30, 2019, we have approximately $44.0 million of identifiable intangible assets and approximately $25.1 million of depreciable property and equipment related to the Morinda business combination. Accordingly, we expect to continue to recognize a significant increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2019.

 

Interest expense. Interest expense increased from $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $0.6 million. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to (i) interest expense under the EWB Credit Facility of $0.2 million based on a weighted average interest rate of 6.0% and weighted average borrowings outstanding of $15.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, and (ii) accretion of discount of $0.4 million related to the Morinda business combination liabilities. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, we incurred interest expense of $0.1 million which was primarily attributable to a revolving credit agreement with U.S. Bank that was terminated in June 2018.

 

Interest and other income (expense), net. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, we had net other expense of $0.1 million as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, when we had net other income of $3,000. The increase in other net other expenses was primarily attributable to other non-operating expenses of $0.2 million, partially offset by an increase in interest income of $0.1 million. The increase in interest income of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was due to a significant increase in our cash and cash equivalents available for temporary money market investments.

Income tax expense. Due to the establishment of a valuation allowance applied against our domestic net deferred tax assets, we did not recognize a domestic income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2019. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized income tax expense of $7.8 million, which consisted of the $3.3 million valuation allowance, reversal of a domestic tax benefit of $4.1 million that was recognized for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, and foreign tax expense of $0.4 million.

Revenue. Net revenue increased from $24.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $124.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $99.7 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, this increase was attributable to the Morinda segment which generated net revenue of $100.3 million. Since the Morinda acquisition closed on December 21, 2018, no revenue was generated by this segment for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Net revenue for the New Age segment decreased by 2% from $24.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $24.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in net revenue for the New Age segment was primarily attributable an increase in discounts and allowances during the first quarter of $0.9 million which was driven by the increase in billbacks and discounts from two of our major distributors where we were impacted by significant charges on shipments we shorted because of our inventory challenges, and we faced a high level of changeover charges related to one of the products in the Coco-Libre brand and one of the products in the Marley brand which we are discontinuing to focus on products with higher future sales potential.

Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold increased from $20.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $44.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $23.9 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, $22.1 million of this increase was attributable to the Morinda segment. Since the Morinda acquisition closed on December 21, 2018, no cost of goods sold was incurred by this segment for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The remainder of the increase in cost of goods sold of $1.8 million was attributable to the New Age segment which increased from $20.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $22.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of 9%. This increase in cost of goods sold for the New Age segment was due to higher product costs incurred in the second half of 2018 due to smaller production runs and buying raw materials in smaller amounts on the spot market, so we were not getting economies of scale with our purchasing which was related to our working capital constraints in 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we continued to cycle through these higher cost inventories which increased our cost of goods sold. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2019 we completed full inventory counts and reconciliations which resulted in an expense of $1.6 million.

 

Gross profit. Gross profit increased from $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $80.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $75.8 million. Gross margin increased from 18% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to 64% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in gross profit and gross margin was attributable to the Morinda segment due to the business combination with Morinda on December 21, 2018. The overall increase in gross profit was attributable to the Morinda segment which accounted for $78.2 million of gross profit and was partially offset by a reduction of $2.4 million in gross profit for the New Age segment. As discussed above, the reduction of $2.4 million in gross profit for the New Age segment for the six months ended June 30, 2019, was due to product costs that increased by 9% whereas net revenue decreased by 2%.

 

Commissions. Commissions increased from $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $37.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $37.0 million. This increase was due to the Morinda business combination which resulted in commissions of $36.9 million, or approximately 37% of the net revenue generated by the Morinda segment. Under Morinda’s business model, commissions typically range between 37% and 40% of net revenue whereas commissions for the New Age segment are typically about 3% of net revenue.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $55.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $46.6 million. This increase consisted of $41.4 million related to the Morinda segment and $5.2 million related to the New Age segment. Increases for the New Age segment consisted of (i) compensation and benefits of $2.4 million, including an increase in stock-based compensation of $0.4 million, (ii) rent and occupancy costs of $1.1 million, (iii) director and officer insurance premiums and other costs of $0.8 million, and (iv) professional fees of $0.3 million.

 

The key components of the $41.4 million of selling, general and administrative expenses for the Morinda segment consist of (i) compensation and benefit costs of $24.0 million, including stock-based compensation expense of $3.0 million, (ii) business meetings, awards, promotions and travel of $7.2 million, (iii) rent, repairs and other occupancy costs of $5.0 million, (iv) professional fees of $1.5 million, and (v) transaction fees, communications expense and other of $3.7 million.

 

Change in fair value of earnout obligations. In connection with the Morinda business combination, we are obligated to make an earnout payment referred to as a Milestone Dividend, up to an aggregate of $15.0 million if the Adjusted EBITDA of Morinda is at least $20.0 million for the year ending December 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the estimated fair value of the Milestone Dividend was approximately $6.5 million and $13.1 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the reduction in the fair value of the Milestone Dividend resulted in an unrealized gain of approximately $6.7 million.

 

We are also subject to an earnout obligation in connection with the Marley business combination that provides for a one-time payment of $1.25 million beginning at such time that revenue for the Marley reporting unit is equal to or greater than $15.0 million during any trailing twelve calendar month period. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the estimated fair value of the Marley earnout was approximately $0.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the increase in the fair value of the Marley earnout resulted in an unrealized loss of approximately $0.1 million. Since there was no change in the fair value of the Marley earnout for the six months ended June 30, 2019, no gain or loss was recognized.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased from $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $3.2 million. This increase was due to approximately $1.4 million of depreciation and $1.8 million of amortization related to the Morinda acquisition that closed on December 21, 2018.

 

Gain from sale of building. On March 22, 2019, we entered into an agreement with a major Japanese real estate company resulting in the sale for approximately $57.0 million of the land and building in Tokyo that serves as the corporate headquarters of Morinda’s Japanese subsidiary. Concurrently with the sale, we entered into a lease of this property for an expected term of 20 years with an extension option for an additional 7 years. The sale of this property resulted in a gain of $24.1 million and we determined that $17.6 million of the gain was the result of above-market rent inherent in the leaseback arrangement. The $17.6 million portion of the gain related to above market rent is being accounted for as a lease concession whereby the gain will result in a reduction of rent expense of approximately $0.9 million per year over the 20-year lease term. The remainder of the gain of $6.4 million was attributable to the highly competitive process among the entities that bid to purchase the property and, accordingly, is recognized as a gain in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, no gain or loss was recognized since we did not sell any of our property and equipment.

 

Interest expense. Interest expense increased from $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $2.2 million. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to (i) termination of the Siena Revolver which resulted in a make-whole prepayment penalty of $0.5 million, (ii) accretion of discount and write-off of debt issuance costs of $0.5 million related to the Siena Revolver, (iii) accretion of discount of $1.0 million related to the Morinda business combination liabilities, and (iv) interest expense under the EWB Credit Facility of $0.3 million based on a weighted average interest rate of 6.0% and weighted average borrowings outstanding of $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, we incurred interest expense of $0.2 million which was primarily attributable to a revolving credit agreement with U.S. Bank that was terminated in June 2018.

 

Other debt financing expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we incurred other debt financing expenses of $0.2 million as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 when no other debt financing expenses were incurred. Other debt financing expenses include collateral monitoring fees, unused line fees, and other fees charged under the Siena Revolver.

 

Gain on change in fair value of embedded derivatives. In August 2018, we entered into the Siena Revolver that provided for borrowings up to $12.0 million. The Siena Revolver included features that were determined to be embedded derivatives requiring bifurcation and accounting as separate financial instruments. We determined that embedded derivatives included the requirement to pay (i) an early termination premium if the Siena Revolver was terminated before the maturity date in August 2021, and (ii) default interest at a 5.0% premium if events of default existed. An early termination premium equal to 4.0% of the $12.0 million commitment was required to be paid if the Siena Revolver was terminated during the first year after the August 2018 closing date.

 

As of December 31, 2018, the fair value of these embedded derivatives was $0.5 million which resulted in the recognition of a liability of $0.5 million. Increases in the fair value of embedded derivatives result in losses that are recognized when the likelihood increases that a future cash payment will be required to settle an embedded derivative, whereas gains are recognized when the fair value decreases. Decreases in fair value occur when we become contractually obligated to pay an embedded derivative (whereby the embedded derivative liability is transferred to a contractual liability), or as the likelihood of a future cash settlement decreases. We recognized a gain of $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 since we incurred a contractual liability to pay the 4.0% prepayment fee on March 29, 2019 when we terminated the Siena Revolver with the proceeds of the East West Bank financing discussed below under Liquidity and Capital Resources.

 

Interest and other income (expense), net. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we had net other expenses of $39,000 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018, when we had net other expenses of $4,000. Net other income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 consisted of interest income of $0.1 million, partially offset by other non-operating expenses of $0.1 million.

 

Income tax expense. Due to the establishment of a valuation allowance applied against our domestic net deferred tax assets, we did not recognize a domestic income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2019. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized income tax expense of $6.1 million, which consisted of the $3.3 million valuation allowance and foreign tax expense of $2.8 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview

 

As of June 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $83.6 million and working capital of $57.8 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we incurred a net loss of $13.3 million and we had cash provided by operating activities of $2.5 million.

 

As of June 30, 2019, we have contractual obligations of approximately $34.4 million that are due during the 12-Month period ending June 30, 2020. This amount includes (i) payables to the former stockholders of Morinda with a carrying value of $14.4 million as discussed below, (ii) operating lease payments of $9.1 million, and (iii) estimated cash payments due under our debt agreements of $10.8 million. In July 2019, we elected to repay all outstanding borrowings of $9.7 million under the EWB Revolver and the remaining $1.1 million of principal payments are payable in monthly installments of $125,000 commencing in October 2019. Our contractual obligations discussed above exclude any additional principal payments under the EWB Term Loan based on the calculation of Excess Cash Flow, beginning with the year ending December 31, 2019 (payable in April 2020).

 

Based on our expectations for future growth in net revenue for the Morinda and New Age segments, we believe our expected cash flow from operating activities for the 12-Months ending June 30, 2020, combined with our existing cash resources of $83.6 million, will be sufficient to fund our working capital requirements and the remainder of our net contractual obligations.

 

Morinda Business Combination Liabilities

 

In April 2020, we are obligated to make an earnout payment based on the calculation of a Milestone Dividend as set forth in the terms of our Series D Preferred Stock. The maximum Milestone Dividend is $15.0 million if the Adjusted EBITDA of Morinda is $20.0 million or more for the year ending December 31, 2019. If Adjusted EBITDA is $17.0 million or less for the year ending December 31, 2019, no Milestone Dividend is payable. The Milestone Dividend earnout is recorded in our financial statements at fair value, which amounted to $6.5 million as of June 30, 2019. In addition, we are obligated to make the remaining excess working capital (“EWC”) payments related to the Morinda business combination with a net carrying value of approximately $13.1 million as of June 30, 2019. The table below summarizes the range of cash settlements and the net carrying value of the Morinda business combination liabilities as of June 30, 2019 (in thousands):

 

   Carrying   Gross Settlement Value 
   Value, Net   Minimum   Maximum 
             
Payables to former Morinda stockholders, net:               
EWC payable in July 2019  $7,962   $8,000   $8,000 
EWC payable in July 2020   5,130    5,463    5,463 
Earnout under Series D preferred stock in April 2020   6,469    -    15,000 
Total   19,561    13,463    28,463 
Less long-term portion   (5,130)   (5,463)   (5,463)
Current portion  $14,431   $8,000   $23,000 

 

East West Bank Credit Facility

 

On March 29, 2019, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with East West Bank (“EWB”). The Credit Facility matures on March 29, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”) and provides for (i) a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $15.0 million, which may be increased to $25.0 subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions (the “Term Loan”) and (ii) a $10.0 million revolving loan agreement (the “EWB Revolver”). At the closing, EWB funded $25.0 million to us consisting of the $15.0 million Term Loan and $10.0 as an advance under the EWB Revolver. Our obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of our assets and guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries. The Credit Facility requires compliance with certain financial and restrictive covenants and includes customary events of default. Key financial covenants include maintenance of minimum Adjusted EBITDA and a maximum Total Leverage Ratio (all as defined and set forth in the Credit Facility). During any periods when an event of default occurs, the Credit Facility provides for interest at a rate that is 3.0% above the rate otherwise applicable to such obligations.

 

 C:

Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility bear interest at the Prime Rate (5.5% as of June 30, 2019) plus 0.50%. However, if the Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) is subsequently less than 1.50 to 1.00, borrowings will bear interest at the Prime Rate plus 0.25%. We may voluntarily prepay amounts outstanding under the EWB Revolver on ten business days’ prior notice to EWB without prepayment charges. In the event the EWB Revolver is terminated prior to the Maturity Date, we would be required to pay an early termination fee in the amount of 0.50% of the revolving line. Additional borrowing requests under the EWB Revolver are subject to various customary conditions precedent, including satisfaction of a borrowing base test as more fully described in the Credit Facility. The EWB Revolver also provides for an unused line fee equal to 0.5% per annum of the undrawn portion. The EWB Revolver includes a subjective acceleration clause and a lockbox arrangement where we are required to direct our customers to remit payments to a restricted bank account, whereby all available funds are used to pay down the outstanding principal balance under the EWB Revolver. Accordingly, we are required to classify the entire outstanding principal balance of the EWB Revolver as a current liability in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

On July 1, 2019, we elected to make a voluntary prepayment of $9.7 million of principal to repay all outstanding borrowings under the EWB Revolver. Subject to the terms of the Credit Facility, we may reborrow up to $10.0 million under the EWB Revolver through the Maturity Date.

 

Payments under the Term Loan are interest-only for the first six months and are followed by principal and interest payments amortized over the remaining term of the Term Loan. We may elect to prepay the Term Loan before the Maturity Date on 10 business days’ notice to EWB subject to a prepayment fee of 2% for the first year of the Term Loan and 1% for the second year of the Term Loan. No later than 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019, we are required to make a payment towards the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan in an amount equal to 35% of the Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Facility), if the Total Leverage Ratio is less than 1.50 to 1.00 or (i) 50% of the Excess Cash Flow if the Total Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 1.50 to 1.00. Mandatory principal payments based on Excess Cash Flow generated in subsequent quarters are excluded from our current liabilities since they are contingent payments based on the generation of working capital in the future.

 

At the Market Offering Agreement

 

On April 30, 2019, we entered into an At the Market Offering Agreement (the “ATM Offering Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (the “Agent”), pursuant to which we may offer and sell from time to time up to an aggregate of $100 million in shares of our Common Stock (the “Placement Shares), through the Agent. We have no obligation to sell any of the Placement Shares under the ATM Offering Agreement which terminates on April 30, 2020 and may be earlier terminated by both parties. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital. Under the terms of the ATM Offering Agreement, we agreed to pay the Agent a commission equal to 3% of the gross proceeds from the gross sales price of the Placement Shares up to $30 million, and 2.5% of the gross proceeds from the gross sales price of the Placement Shares in excess of $30 million. Through June 30, 2019, an aggregate of approximately 2.2 million shares of Common Stock were sold for net proceeds of approximately $11.4 million. Total commissions and fees deducted from the net proceeds were $0.4 million and other offering costs of $0.2 million were incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

 

Siena Revolver

 

In August 2018, we entered into a loan and security agreement with Siena Lending Group LLC (“Siena”) that provided for a $12.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Siena Revolver”) with a scheduled maturity date in August 2021. Outstanding borrowings provided for interest at the greater of (i) 7.5% or (ii) the prime rate plus 2.75%. As of December 31, 2018, the effective interest rate was 8.25%. Beginning in November 2018, we were required to pay interest on a minimum of $2.0 million of borrowings, regardless of whether such funds had been borrowed. The Siena Revolver also provided for an unused line fee equal to 0.5% per annum of the undrawn portion of the $12.0 million commitment. The Siena Revolver was subject to availability based on eligible accounts receivables and eligible inventory of the Company. As of December 31, 2018, the borrowing base calculation permitted total borrowings of approximately $2.5 million. Pursuant to the Siena Revolver, we granted a security interest in substantially all assets and intellectual property of the Company and its subsidiaries, except for such assets owned by Morinda.

 

On March 29, 2019, simultaneously with our entry into the new loan facility with East West Bank discussed below, we repaid all outstanding amounts under the Siena Revolver, including a prepayment fee of $0.5 million. The Siena Revolver contained standard and customary events of default including, but not limited to, maintaining compliance with the financial and non-financial covenants set forth in the Siena Revolver. From January 1, 2019 through the termination date of March 29, 2019, we were in compliance with the financial covenants. The Siena Revolver included a lockbox arrangement that required that we direct our customers to remit payments to a restricted bank account, whereby all available funds were used to pay down the outstanding principal balance under the Siena Revolver.

Cash Flows Summary

 

Presented below is a summary of our operating, investing and financing cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):

 

   2019   2018   Change 
             
Net cash provided by (used in):               
Operating activities  $2,517   $(6,424)  $8,941 
Investing activities   30,879    (64)   30,943 
Financing activities   6,916    6,416    500 

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

The key components in the calculation of our cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, are as follows (in thousands):

 

   2019   2018   Change 
             
Net loss  $(13,297)  $(6,018)  $(7,279)
Deferred income tax benefit   (8,543)   -    (8,543)
Gain from sale of land and building   (6,442)   -    (6,442)
Change in fair value of earnout obligations   (6,665)   100    (6,765)
Other non-cash and non-operating expenses, net   11,878    2,012    9,866 
Changes in operating assets and liabilities, net   25,586    (2,518)   28,104 
Total  $2,517   $(6,424)  $8,941 

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, our net loss was $13.3 million compared to a net loss of $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Please refer to the section Results of Operations above for a discussion of the factors that resulted in our net losses. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized a gain from sale of our land and building in Tokyo. This gain will be taxable on our Japanese income tax return for 2019. As a result of the gain from sale of our land and building in Tokyo and profits generated in other foreign jurisdictions, we recorded income taxes payable of $11.9 million in Japan and $3.9 million in other jurisdictions as of June 30, 2019. For financial reporting purposes, $17.6 million of the gain is being accounted for as a lease incentive that will be recognized as a reduction of rent expense over the lease term of 20 years. Similarly, the gain on sale of land and building is excluded from our operating cash flows since it was generated from the receipt of investing cash flows. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we also recognized an unrealized gain on the change in fair value of the Morinda earnout obligations of $6.7 million. Accordingly, the deferred income tax benefit, the gain on sale, and the change in fair value of earnout obligations all favorably impacted our net loss but did not generate any operating cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

 

Other net non-cash and non-operating expenses partially mitigated the impact of our net loss by $11.9 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, non-cash and non-operating expenses consisted of (i) depreciation and amortization expense of $4.4 million, (ii) stock-based compensation expense of $4.3 million, (iii) impairment of right-of-use lease assets of $1.5 million, (iv) accretion and amortization of debt discount and issuance costs of $1.6 million, and (v) make-whole premium of $0.5 million. These non-cash expenses total $12.3 million and were partially offset by a gain from the change in fair value of embedded derivatives for $0.5 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $25.6 million of operating cash flows. Changes that increased operating cash flows include (i) a net increase due to the unamortized balance of the deferred lease incentive obligation of $17.4 million, (ii) an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $16.7 million that was driven by the increase in income taxes payable as discussed above, and (iii) a reduction in inventories of $0.2 million. The $17.4 million deferred lease incentive obligation represents the unamortized portion of the proceeds from the sale leaseback of Morinda’s corporate offices in Tokyo that is attributable to above-market rent that we are obligated to pay over the first 20 years of the lease term. The deferred lease incentive obligation is expected to result in negative operating cash flows of approximately $73,000 per month as the above-market portion of the lease payments are made over the first 20 years of the lease term. The total current income tax liabilities of $15.8 million are expected to be paid during 2019 and will result in negative operating cash flows in the periods in which we are required to make the payments.

 

The aggregate operating cash flow impact of the deferred lease incentive, the increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and the reduction in inventories amounted to an increase in operating cash flows of $34.3 million. These increases in operating cash flows were partially offset by a deficiency of $5.3 million as cash collections lagged behind the increase in our trade receivables, and we spent $3.7 million for increased prepaid expenses, deposits and other assets.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, cash flows used in operating activities amounted to $6.4 million. While we recognized a net loss of $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, the change in fair value of our obligations under the Marley earnout of $0.1 million and other net non-cash expenses of $2.0 million mitigated the cash impact of our net loss. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, other non-cash expenses consisted of depreciation and amortization expense of $1.0 million, stock-based compensation expense of $0.9 million, and issuance of Common Stock to settle accrued interest for $0.1 million.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, changes in operating assets and liabilities used $2.5 million of operating cash flows including an increase in inventories of $2.5 million, and expenditures resulting in a net increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $0.7 million. These uses of operating cash flows amount to a total of $3.2 million and were partially offset by cash collections that resulted in a reduction in accounts receivable of $0.1 million, and a net increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $0.6 million.

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, cash provided by investing activities of $30.9 million was primarily driven by the sale leaseback of our land and building in Tokyo whereby $31.4 million of the proceeds were attributable to the sale of the property and an additional $1.7 million of proceeds was provided subject to our obligation to perform post-closing repairs and refurbishments to the property. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, these investing cash inflows totaled $33.1 million and were partially offset by capital expenditures of $1.2 million and a loan to BWR for $1.0 million. Our capital expenditures included leasehold improvements related to our new distribution facility in Aurora Colorado of $0.3 million, transportation equipment of $0.3 million, and computer and other equipment primarily related to our new facility in Aurora and our headquarters location in Denver for a total of $0.4 million. The BWR loan was a condition of the BWR Merger Agreement that closed in July 2019 and resulted in additional investing cash outflows of $3.0 million for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2019.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, our sole use of cash in investing activities resulted from cash payments of $0.1 million for equipment in our New Age segment.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

Our financing activities provided net cash proceeds of $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to net cash proceeds of $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the principal sources of cash from our financing activities consisted of (i) $41.7 million of borrowings, including $32.1 million under the EWB Credit Facility and $9.6 million under the Siena Revolver that was terminated in March 2019, (ii) net proceeds of $11.4 million from the issuance of approximately 2.2 million shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the ATM Offering Agreement, and (iii) proceeds from the exercise of stock option of $0.4 million. These financing cash proceeds totaled $53.5 million and were partially offset by (i) principal payments under debt agreements of $19.7 million, including $10.0 million under the EWB Revolver and $9.7 million under the Siena Revolver, (ii) payment of Morinda business combination liabilities of $26.0 million, (iii) payments for debt issuance costs of $0.7 million to obtain the EWB Credit Facility, and (iv) cash payments for deferred offering costs under the ATM Offering Agreement. As discussed above the Siena Revolver was terminated on March 29, 2019 and replaced with the EWB Credit Facility.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, our financing activities provided net cash proceeds of $6.4 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the principal sources of cash from our financing activities consisted of (i) $4.6 million of borrowings under a convertible note payable to Dominion Capital, and (ii) net proceeds of $3.8 million from the issuance in a public offering of approximately 2.6 million shares of Common Stock. These financing cash proceeds totaled $8.4 million and were partially offset by principal payments of $2.0 million to terminate our previous revolver with U.S. Bank.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

During the periods presented, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, which were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Foreign Currency Risks

 

We have foreign currency risks related to our net revenue and operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, primarily the Euro, Chinese Yuan and Japanese Yen. We generated approximately 72% of our net revenue from our international business for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Increases in the relative value of the U.S. Dollar to other currencies may negatively affect our net revenue, partially offset by a positive impact to operating expenses in other currencies as expressed in U.S. Dollars. We have experienced and will continue to experience fluctuations in our net income (loss) as a result of transaction gains or losses related to revaluing certain current asset and current liability balances, including intercompany receivables and payables, which are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the entities in which they are recorded. While we have not engaged in the hedging of our foreign currency transactions to date, we are evaluating the costs and benefits of initiating such a program and we may in the future hedge selected significant transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

 

Our management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported net revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. These items are monitored and analyzed for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results for the period in which they become known. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

We believe that of our significant accounting policies that are described in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the 2018 Form 10-K, the following accounting policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, these are the policies we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

 

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 more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than the carrying amount, further testing of goodwill for impairment is not 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.

 

Identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations are recorded at the estimated acquisition date fair value. Finite lived intangible assets are amortized over the shorter of the contractual life or 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.

 

 C:

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, including right-of use lease assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment exists for property and equipment, identifiable intangible assets and right-of-use lease assets if the carrying amounts of such assets exceed the estimates of future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by such assets. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset, or asset group, exceeds its fair value. For right-of-use lease assets that are expected to be subleased, the impairment evaluation is based on the expected time to obtain a suitable subtenant and current market rates for similar commercial properties.

 

Debt

 

The balance sheet classification of the EWB Credit Facility between current and long-term liabilities takes into account scheduled principal payments under the EWB Term Loan, and Excess Cash Flow prepayments, if any, for quarterly periods ending on or before the balance sheet date. The EWB Revolver includes a subjective acceleration clause and a lockbox arrangement. The lockbox provisions require us to direct our customers to remit payments to a restricted bank account, whereby all available funds are used to pay down the outstanding principal balance under the EWB Revolver. Accordingly, we are required to classify the entire outstanding principal balance of the EWB Revolver as a current liability in our balance sheets.

 

Interest is imputed on business combination liabilities based on our credit and tax adjusted interest rate until the respective contractual or estimated payment dates. The resulting discount is accreted to interest expense using the effective interest method. Obligations under earnout agreements are recorded at estimated fair value based on the probability of achieving the relevant metrics. Fair value of the earnout is generally determined using an option pricing model that is adjusted quarterly as additional information becomes available about the progress toward achievement of the applicable metric.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue when our performance obligations are satisfied. Our primary performance obligation (the distribution and sale of beverage products) is satisfied upon the shipment or delivery of products to our customers, which is also when control is transferred. Merchandising activities that are performed after a customer obtains control of the product, are accounted for as fulfillment of our performance obligation to ship or deliver product to our customers and are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Merchandising activities are immaterial in the context of our contracts.

 

The transfer of control of products to our customers is typically based on written sales terms that do not allow for a right of return. However, our policy for DSD and certain chilled products is to remove and replace damaged and out-of-date products from store shelves to ensure that consumers receive the product quality and freshness they expect. Similarly, our policy for certain warehouse-distributed products is to replace damaged and out-of-date products. As a result, we record reserves, based on estimates, for anticipated damaged and out-of-date products.

 

Payments received for undelivered or back-ordered products are recorded as deferred revenue. Our policy is to defer revenue related to distributor convention fees, payments received on products ordered in the current period but not delivered until the subsequent period, initial independent product consultants (“IPCs”) fees, IPC renewal fees and internet subscription fees until the products or services have been provided.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We measure the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for all equity awards granted, including stock options, based on the fair market value of the award as of the grant date. We compute the fair value of options using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option pricing model. We recognize the cost of the equity awards over the period that services are provided to earn the award, usually the vesting period. For awards granted which contain a graded vesting schedule, and the only condition for vesting is a service condition, compensation cost is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period as if the award was, in substance, a single award. We recognize the impact of forfeitures in the period that the forfeiture occurs, rather than estimating the number of awards that are not expected to vest in accounting for stock-based compensation.

 

 C:

Income Taxes

 

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon future taxable income. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred income tax asset will not be realized based on the weight of available evidence, including expected future earnings.

 

We recognize an uncertain tax position in our financial statements when we conclude that a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination based solely on its technical merits. Only after a tax position passes the first step of recognition will measurement be required. Under the measurement step, the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon effective settlement. This is determined on a cumulative probability basis. The full impact of any change in recognition or measurement is reflected in the period in which such change occurs. Interest and penalties related to income taxes are recognized in the provision for income taxes.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

 

For additional information on recently issued accounting standards and our plans for adoption of those standards, please refer to the section titled Recent Accounting Pronouncements under Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

The primary purpose of using non-GAAP financial measures is to provide supplemental information that we believe may prove useful to investors and to enable investors to evaluate our results in the same way we do. We also present the non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they assist investors in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis, as well as comparing our results against the results of other companies, by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Specifically, we use these non-GAAP measures as measures of operating performance; to prepare our annual operating budget; to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business; to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies; to provide consistency and comparability with past financial performance; to facilitate a comparison of our results with those of other companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results; and in communications with our board of directors concerning our financial performance. Investors should be aware however, that not all companies define these non-GAAP measures consistently. We disclose the following non-GAAP financial measures:

 

Non-GAAP Gross Revenue. For the calculation of Non-GAAP gross revenue, we exclude selling discounts and allowances when evaluating the gross amount of our revenue. Our gross revenue is an important metric because this is how we believe investors and competitors measure us and other beverage companies since with additional scale distributors and retailers will have less ability to force discounts and allowances on smaller companies in the market, which will help identify our full value to an investor, competitor or potential acquirer.

 

EBITDA is net loss adjusted to exclude interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense.

 

Adjusted EBITDA. For the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA, we exclude the following item for the periods presented:

 

Stock-Based Compensation Expense: Our compensation strategy includes the use of stock-based compensation to attract and retain employees, directors and consultants. This strategy is principally aimed at aligning the employee interests with those of our stockholders and to achieve long-term employee retention, rather than to motivate or reward operational performance for any particular period. As a result, stock-based compensation expense varies for reasons that are generally unrelated to operational decisions and performance in any particular period.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.

 

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that we file or submit under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, or person performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) (“Disclosure Controls”) will prevent 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 system 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 all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. We monitor our Disclosure Controls and make modifications as necessary; our intent in this regard is that the Disclosure Controls will be modified as systems change and conditions warrant.

 

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of June 30, 2019, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our Disclosure Controls was performed. This evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on this evaluation, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our second fiscal quarter of 2019 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

From time to time, we may be a party to litigation and subject to claims incident to the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we currently believe that the final outcome of these ordinary course matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of judgment, defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

 

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors.

 

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this report are any of the risks described in Item 1.A. Risk Factors of our 2018 Form 10-K. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our 2018 Form 10-K, except we may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

 

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

On May 31, 2019, we issued 6,125 shares of Common Stock to a former employee as part of a severance arrangement. All of these shares were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. There were no other unregistered sales of our equity securities during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

 

ITEM 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

 

None.

 

ITEM 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

 

Not applicable.
