NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Paradise, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements.
The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments and accruals of a normal recurring nature that management believes are necessary to fairly state the operating results for the respective periods. The notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.2016. The Company’s management believes that the disclosures are sufficient for interim financial reporting purposes.
Consumer demand for glace’ fruit product is traditionally strongest during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season. Almost 80% of glace’ fruit product sales are recorded during an eight to ten week period beginning in mid September. Therefore, the operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 20162017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the current year.
Certain minor reclassifications have been made to the consolidated unaudited financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20152016 to conform to the classifications used for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.2017.
NOTE 2 | RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers,which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard will be effective retrospectively for the Company on January 1, 2018, which is the effective date for public companies. Early application is permitted as of January 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2014-09 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures. The Company hasis finalizing reviews and working on implementing the process, policy and disclosure changes that will go into effect January 1, 2018. At this time, the Company does not yet selectedexpect a transition method nor has it determinedmaterial financial impact from adopting the effectnew standard.
In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03,Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs(“ASU2015-03”). The standard requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the standardbalance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this standards update. The Company evaluated this ASU and began early adoption beginning with the annual period ended December 31, 2016. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on its consolidatedthe Company’s financial statements.position or results of operations.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11,Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which amends FASB ASU Topic 330,Inventory. This ASU requires entities to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value and eliminates the option that currently exists for measuring inventory at market value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonable predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This ASU should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this ASU todid not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17,Income Taxes (Topic 740) Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes. The ASU provides presentation requirements to classify deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Earlier application is permitted for any interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The new guidance may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard todid not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842)(ASU 2016-02). Under ASU No. 2016-2, an entity will be required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU No. 2016-02 offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions.

The Company does not prepare operating profit or loss information on a segment basis for internal use, until the end of each year. Due to the seasonal nature of the fruit segment, management believes that it is not practical to prepare this information for interim reporting purposes. Therefore, reporting is not required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Overview
Paradise, Inc.’s main business segment, glace’ fruit, a prime ingredient of fruitcakes and other holiday confections, represented 68.3%68.7% of total net sales for the previous year of 2015.during 2016. These products are sold to manufacturing bakers, institutional users, supermarkets and other retailers throughout the country. Consumer demand for glace’ fruit product is traditionally strongest during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season. Almost 80% of glace’ fruit product sales are recorded for a period of eight to ten weeks beginning in mid September.
Since the majority of the Company’s customers require delivery of glace’ candied fruit products during this relatively short period of time, Paradise, Inc. must operate at consistent levels of production from as early as January through the middle of November of each year in order to meet peak demands. Furthermore, the Company must make substantial borrowings of short-term working capital to cover the cost of raw materials, factory overhead and labor expense associated with production for inventory. This combination of building and financing inventories during the year, without the opportunity to record any significant fruit product income, may resultresults in the generation of operating losses well into the third quarter of each year. Therefore, it is the opinion of management that meaningful forecasts of annual net sales or profit levels require analysis of a full year’s operations.
In addition, comparison of current quarterly results to the preceding quarter produces an incomplete picture on the Company’s performance due to year-to-year changes in production schedules, seasonal harvests and availability of raw materials, and in the timing of customer orders and shipments. Thus, the discussion of information presented within this report is focused on the review of the Company’s current year-to-date results as compared to the similar period last year.
Paradise, Inc.’s other business segment, Paradise Plastics, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Paradise, Inc. producesproducing custom molding products, is not subject to the seasonality of the glace’ fruit business. This segment represents all injection molding and thermoforming operations, including the packaging for the Company’s fruit products. Only sales to unaffiliated customers are reported.

The First Nine Months
Paradise, Inc.’s fruit segment net sales for the first nine months of 2016 increased 2.8%2017 decreased 8.9% to $7,881,622 from $8,643,663 compared to $8,409,947 for the similar nine month reporting period of 2015.2016. This increasedecrease is primarily duerelated to timing differences in the receipt of customers’customer’s purchase orders and the corresponding shipping dates for deliveryshipment of the Company’s retail glace’ fruit products.these orders. Changes in dates of opening orders from long-time customers between interim reporting periods will have a direct impact on net revenuesales comparisons. Paradise, Inc. recognizes net sales generally upon receipt of its products by its customers. Thus, as merchandise is shipped and received by itsTo illustrate this in financial terms, fruit segment shipments to customers during different interimthe first five business days of October, 2017 were $2,193,260 compared to $242,241 for the first five business days of October, 2016. Thus, extending the reporting periods, timing differencesperiod into the first week of October, 2017 and October, 2016 would have resulted in increased fruit segment net sales of 13.4% compared to the 8.9% decrease reported net revenue will occur.above. Management has consistently disclosed that interim filings are not reliable financial indicators of year-end performance. Only after a full year’s selling season is completed which takes into consideration factorseliminates such as the timing differences related to dates of initialopening orders product placement on supermarket shelvesshipped, received and consumer demand for holiday fruitcake ingredients,placed in stores by our customers, will the Company have any abilitythe necessary sales data to determine whetherif its sales and marketing efforts for the current year were successful.
Paradise Plastics, Inc., (Paradise Plastics) a wholly owned company of Paradise, Inc., which accounted for 38%31.3% of total net sales to unaffiliated customers decreased by 5.6% tofor the previous year, generated net sales of $5,306,706$3,562,557 for the nine months ended September 30, 20162017 compared to $5,622,810$5,306,706 for the similar reporting period of 2015. While sales to customers2016. This represents a decrease of vacuum forming plastics parts within the housing market increased by 5% for the current reporting period over the similar reporting period of 2015, it was not enough net revenue to offset a recent decline in sales related to a long term customer within the Company’s thermoforming operations. As mentioned in previous filings,$1,744,149 or 32.9%. Paradise Plastics Inc. produces various types of custom molded plasticsparts for its customers which are then assembled into finished products by its customers. Thus, changes in demandcustomers for sale to the end user. In many cases, continued production and increased sales for these finish productsparts are based on their success achieved by the end user will haveuser. Furthermore, in some cases, a directchange in product design may impact on ourthe continuation of these sales. As disclosed in previous filings, beginning first quarter of 2017, a major plastics customer decided to transfer production of custom molded parts produced by thermoforming to an out of state supplier who could produce these parts via injection molding. The major benefit to the customer was the ability to significantly lower their cost per unit. These parts had been previously thermoformed at Paradise Plastics facilities over the past nine years. Management in discussions with this customer offered to construct a new on-site building as well as purchase the necessary injection molding equipment to continue production, however, the offer was declined. With production of these parts coming to an end during the first quarter of 2017, net sales totaled $120,625 compared to $1,757,250 for the entire twelve months of 2016. This represents a decrease of $1,636,625 and is the primary reason for the decrease in plastics sales mentioned above. Reacting to this situation, management commenced an orderly reduction of hourly personnel associated with this loss of business during the first and second quarters of 2017. Now with the reduction in hourly personnel in place and along with the recent planned retirement of a Senior Vice President - Plastics, management has achieved labor savings in excess of $250,000 as of the date of filing, managementthis filing. It is not ablealso important to predict whether the recent decline in sales will continue.
Consolidated cost of sales as a percentage of overall net sales decreased 6.0% for the first nine months of 2016 compared to the similar reporting period of 2015. This is less than the 10.4% decrease in cost of sales reported during the June 30, 2016 filing, however, this decreasemention that Paradise Plastics is still dueproducing other custom molding parts for this long term customer and is continuing to aggressively market its custom molding capabilities throughout the following two reasons. First, a greater percentage of vacuum forming plastics parts ordered and shipped during the first nine months of 2016 vs. 2015 were of higher gross margins. Secondly, the fruit segment, after not commencing brining operations of orange peel during the first nine months of 2015, produced 2.9 million lbs. of brined orange peel inventory during the first nine months of 2016. With more than an adequate amount of brined orange peelSoutheast in the Company’s inventory as of January 1, 2015, brining operations for orange peel were postponed for 2015. Thus, the increase in orange peel production during the first nine months of 2016 allocated over a relatively fixed amount of factory overhead (i.e.: insurance, utilities, depreciation and taxes) hadorder to replace this business. Management continues to closely monitor the impact this loss of reducing cost of sales as of September 30, 2016 compared to September 30, 2015. However, it is important to understand that until a full year’s production cycle is completed, the Company will not be able to determine to what extent the additional production mentioned abovebusiness will have on costits operations throughout the remainder of 2017 in order to determine if any additional changes to operations are warranted. If the Company is unable to replace these lost sales, as it relatesits ability to overall sales.
Inventory asrecover goodwill of September 30, 2016 totaled $11,997,652 compared to $11,434,903 as of September 30, 2015 representing an increase of $562,749. This represents an increase of 4.9% and is attributable to the increased orange peel production discussed in the cost of sales section above.
Selling, general & administrative expenses for the first nine months of 2016 totaled $2,774,766 compared to $2,979,115 representing a decrease of $204,349 or 6.9% and is primarily$413,280 related to the retirement of three senior managers during late 2015.Paradise Plastics could be affected.

The First Nine Months (Continued)
Consolidated cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased 13.3% for the nine months ending September 30, 2017 compared to the similar reporting period of 2016. This is less than the 15% increase in cost of sales reported in the Company’s second quarter filing as variable cost associated with the decrease in plastics sales still continued to outpace the reduction in labor and other variable expenses. However, as fruit segment production, representing more than 70% of cost of sales, continues to produce inventory for sale well into the fourth quarter of the year, no meaningful forecast of consolidated cost of sales can be reported until a full twelve months accounting of operations is completed.
Selling, general & administrative expenses for the nine months ending September 30, 2017 decreased 11.7% to $2,484,532 from $2,774,766 for the nine months ending September 30, 2016 as Paradise, Inc. continues to receive payroll savings due to fewer employees working within these departments.
Other Significant Items
Other Income for the first nine months of 2017 totaled $44,678 compared to $19,846 for the similar reporting period of 2016. This increase is related to the cash surrender value of two insurance policies owned by the Company on behalf of two senior executives who have been employed by the Company for over fifty years. Paradise, Inc. is the beneficiary as to the premiums paid on behalf of these two policies.
Inventory on hand increased by $319,126 to $12,316,778 as of September 30, 2017 from $11,997,652 as of September 30, 2016. During the year, timing differences in levels of inventory may fluctuate due to the following two factors. First, changes in harvest and or market conditions of raw fruit commodities received from as far away as Southeast Asia may overlap into different quarterly filings period. Secondly, timing differences in levels of inventory will occur as shipments of fruit segment products to retail customers will also overlap quarterly filing dates. For the current reporting period, both factors were present as an increase in raw fruit materials received from overseas suppliers during the third quarter of 2017 along with a delay in shipments to retail customers until the fourth quarter of 2017 more than offset the decrease in plastics inventory levels as of September 30, 2017.
Short Term Debt and Accounts Payable balances largely comprised of liabilities for raw fruit materials increased $606,544 to $1,611,344 as of September 30, 2017 compared to $1,004,800 as of September 30, 2016. These two account balances are directly related to the increase in fruit inventory levels on hand as of September 30, 2017 as a greater percentage of raw fruit commodities were received from our international and domestic suppliers during the third quarter of 2017 compared to the similar period of 2016.
On July 28, 2017, Paradise, Inc. renewed its revolving line of credit with SunTrust Bank through July 31, 2019. This renewal provides for a maximum limit of $12 million and a borrowing limit of 80% of the Company’s eligible receivables plus the lesser of $6,000,000 or 50% of the Company’s eligible inventory from January 1 to May 31 and 60% from June 1 to December 31 of each year. Within this agreement are letters of credit with a limit of $1,750,000. The agreement is secured by all of the assets of the Company and requires that certain conditions are met for the Company to continue borrowing, including debt service coverage and debt to equity ratios and other financial covenants including an agreement not to encumber a mortgage on the property without bank approval. Interest is payable monthly at the bank’s LIBOR plus 1.75%.

The primary reason for this decrease in cash foracquire inventory and finance operations during the first nine months of 2016 compared to 2015 was the earlier repayment of short-term debt of just over $1.0 million as of September 30, 2016.year.
Summary
Paradise Inc.’s consolidated net sales decreased slightly to $11,444,179 for the first nine months of 2017 from $13,950,369 for the first nine months of 20162016. This decrease is due to two factors. First, timing differences in shipments of retail fruit orders were received into the first week of October, 2017. As such, fruit segment sales for the first 5 days of October, 2017 totaled $2,193,260 compared to $14,032,757$242,241 for the first five days of October 2016. Secondly, the decision by a major plastics customer to change the design method and supplier for production of custom molded parts from thermoforming to injection molding during the first quarter of 2017 is the primary reason that plastics segment sales decreased by $1,744,149 or 32.9% for the first nine months of 20152017 compared to the similar reporting period of 2016. Correspondingly, cost of sales increased 13.2% as an increasethe decline in plastics sales outpaced the earlier shipmentorderly reductions of the Company’s holiday segment fruit segments products was offset by a downturnlabor cost that were phased in thermoforming plastics parts during the third quarterfirst and second quarters of 2016.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make assessments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. We evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the consolidated financial statements on an ongoing basis. Critical accounting estimates are those that require management’s most difficult, complex, or subjective judgments and have the most potential to impact our financial position and operating results. For a detailed discussion of our critical accounting estimates, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.2016.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers,which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard will be effective retrospectively for the Company on January 1, 2018, which is the effective date for public companies. Early application is permitted as of January 1, 2017. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU No. 2014-09 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

At this time, the Company does not yet selectedexpect a transition method nor has it determinedmaterial financial impact from adopting the effectnew standard.
In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03,Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs(“ASU2015-03”). The standard requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the standardbalance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this standards update.

Under ASU No. 2016-2, an entity will be required to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU No. 2016-02 offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions.

Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
As of September 30, 2016,2017, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, and they have concluded that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures. There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.2017.
Disclosure controls and procedures mean the methods designed to ensure that information that the Company is required to disclose in the reports that it files with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods required. Our controls and procedures are designed to ensure that all information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. Our controls and procedures are also designed to provide reasonable assurance of the reliability of our financial reporting and accurate recording of our financial transactions.
A control system, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. There are inherent limitations in all control systems, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control gaps or instances of fraud have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that the judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that simple errors or mistakes can occur.
