Use of Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. ~~These estimates include certain assumptions related to doubtful accounts receivable, stock-based services, valuation of financial instruments, and income taxes.~~ On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and concentration of credit risk. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Accounts subject to estimate and judgements are accounts receivable reserves, income taxes, intangible assets, contingent liabilities, operating and ~~equity based~~finance right of use assets and liabilities, and equity-based instruments. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe our estimates have not been materially inaccurate in past years, and our assumptions are not likely to change in the foreseeable future.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying ~~condensed~~ consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Innovative Food Holdings, Inc., and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries, Artisan, ~~Food Innovations,~~FII, FNM, OFB, GFG, GFW, Gourmeting, Haley, Oasis, ~~GFG,~~Innovative Gourmet, ~~Foodservice Warehouse, Inc., Gourmeting, Inc., Haley,~~Food Funding, IFP, L Innovations, M Innovations, P Innovations, MIF, M Foods, and Gourmet. ~~All accounts of FD have been included under discontinued operations.~~ All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation of these entities.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash in investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of applicable government mandated insurance limit. At September 30, ~~2017~~2021 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2020, trade receivables from the Company’s largest customer amounted to ~~49%~~33% and ~~44%~~22%, respectively, of total trade receivables. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, sales from the Company’s largest customer amounted to 52% and 46% of total sales, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, sales from the Company’s largest customer amounted to 48% and 43% of total sales, respectively.

The Company maintains cash balances in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the total cash in excess of these limits was $2,871,970 and $3,385,113, respectively.

Leases

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 842, “Leases”. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) and short-term and long-term lease liabilities are included on the face of the consolidated balance sheet. Finance lease ROU assets are presented within other assets, and finance lease liabilities are presented within current and long-term liabilities.

ROU assets represent the right of use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component. For lease agreements with terms less than 12 months, the Company has elected the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption, and it recognizes such lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue upon product delivery. All of our products are shipped either same day or overnight or through longer shipping terms to the customer and the customer takes title to product and assumes risk and ownership of the product when it is delivered. Shipping charges to customers and sales taxes collectible from customers, if any, are included in revenues.

For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ~~“FASB”~~(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification ~~“ASC” 605-15-05. ASC 605-15-05 requires that four basic criteria~~(“ASC”) Topic 606“Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. A five-step analysis must be met ~~before~~as outlined in Topic 606: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (v) recognize revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4)when (or as) performance obligations are ~~based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts.~~satisfied. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.

Warehouse and logistic services revenue is primarily comprised of inventory management, order fulfilment and warehousing services. Warehouse & logistics services revenues are recognized at the point in time when the services are rendered to the customer.

Deferred Revenue

Certain customer arrangements in the Company's business such as gift cards and e-commerce subscription purchases result in deferred revenues when cash payments are received in advance of performance. Gift cards issued by the Company generally have an expiration of five years from date of purchase. The Company records a liability for unredeemed gift cards and advance payments for monthly club memberships, as cash is received, and the liability is reduced when the card is redeemed or product delivered.

The following table represents the changes in deferred revenue as reported on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets:

The Company uses the treasury stock method to ~~purchase common stock, and convertible debt.

Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In ~~May 2017,~~December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. ~~2017-09, Stock Compensation - Scope of Modification~~2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which ~~provides guidance on which changes~~is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the ~~terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity~~general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to apply modification accounting. The ASU requires that an entity should account for the effects of a modification unless the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if used), vesting conditions and classification (as equity or liability) of the modified award are all the same as for the original award immediately before the modification. The ASU becomesimprove consistent application. This guidance is effective for ~~the Company on January 1, 2018,~~fiscal years, and ~~should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any~~ interim ~~period. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on any awards that are modified once this standard is adopted.~~

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, current U.S. GAAP requires the performance of procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, the amendments under this ASU require the goodwill impairment test to be performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The ASU becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. The amendments in this ASU should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed.

~~In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09,~~ ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)~~, to clarify the principles of recognizing revenue and create common revenue recognition guidance between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. Under ASU 2014-09, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for such goods or services. In addition, ASU 2014-09 requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The ASU is effective forperiods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The new revenue standard is principle based and interpretation of those principles may vary from company to company based on their unique circumstances. It is possible that interpretation, industry practice, and guidance may evolve as companies and the accounting profession work to implement this new standard.2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company ~~is still in~~adopted this standard effective January 1, 2021; we do not expect the ~~process of evaluating the effect of the new standard~~adoption to have a material impact on ~~the Company’s historical~~our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. ~~While~~

In August 2020, the ~~Company has not completed its evaluation,~~FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)”. This ASU reduces the ~~Company~~number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible Preferred Stock. As well as amend the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. In addition, this ASU improves and amends the related EPS guidance. This standard is effective for us on January 1, 2022, including interim periods within such fiscal year. Adoption is either a modified retrospective method or a fully retrospective method of transition. We are currently ~~believes that~~assessing the impact ~~to revenue and expense recognized~~the new guidance will ~~not be material to any of the years presented.~~have on our consolidated financial statements.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying ~~condensed~~ consolidated financial statements.

Effective February 23, 2016, the Company closed a transaction to sell 90% of our ownership in The Fresh Diet, Inc. (“FD”) to New Fresh Co., LLC, a Florida limited liability company controlled by the former founder of FD. The consideration to Innovative Food Holdings consisted primarily of a restructuring of our loans, which includes the ability to convert to additional amounts of FD under certain circumstances. Aside from any payments related to liabilities previously accrued by the Company, there were no other cash outflows related to the discontinued operations. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, the Company accrued the amount of $850,000 representing the amount due based on an agreement signed in 2017. The agreement involved the purchase of rights to 1,450,000 RSUs and the purchase of 642,688 shares of the Company’s common stock. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company paid cash for liabilities related to discontinued operations in the amount of $96,231 and $1,460,122, respectively. The Company also retired 642,688 shares of the Company stock to treasury.

ASC 360-10-45-9 requires that a long-lived asset (disposal group) to be sold shall be classified as held for sale in the period in which a set of criteria have been met, including criteria that the sale of the asset (disposal group) is probable and actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. This criteria was achieved on February 9, 2016. Additionally, the discontinued operations are comprised of the entirety of FD, excluding corporate services expenses.

Acquisition of Building

The Company owns a building and property located at 28411 Race Track Road, Bonita Springs, Florida 34135. The property consists of approximately 1.1 acres of land and approximately 10,000 square feet of combined office and warehouse space, and was purchased as part of a bank short sale. The Company moved its operations to these premises on July 15, 2013. The purchase price of the property was $792,758.

On May 14, 2015, the Company purchased a building and property located at 2528 S. 27th Avenue, Broadview, Illinois 60155. The property consists of approximately 1.33 acres of land and approximately 28,711 square feet of combined office and warehouse space. The purchase price of $914,350 was initially financed primarily by a draw-down of $900,000 on the Company’s credit facility with Fifth Third ~~Bank.~~Bank, National Association (“Fifth Third Bank”). On May 29, 2015, a permanent financing facility was provided by Fifth Third Bank in the form of a loan in the amount of $980,000. $900,000 of this amount was used to pay the balance of the credit facility; the additional $80,000 was used for refrigeration and other improvements at the property. The interest on the loan is at the LIBOR rate plus 3.0%. The building is used for office and warehouse space primarily for the Company’s Artisan subsidiary. ~~During~~We have also recently completed an additional property improvement and upgrade buildout at the ~~twelve months ended December 31, 2015,~~Artisan building which include a fully functional commercial test kitchen and training center and conference room. The test kitchen and training room is used by Artisan and other subsidiaries of the Company ~~paid~~for the purposes of new product testing and development and approval, Quality Assurance and Quality Control as well as sales presentations and customer demonstrations. In addition, we added a ~~total~~packaging room to the Artisan building, which is built to FDA, FSMA and SQF food safety standards and purchased new, technologically advanced semi-automated fillers for the packaging room. The packaging room addition will allow for expansion of ~~$474,301 for various building~~private label product lines as well as packing of organic, non-GMO, diet specific and other specialty foods. The test kitchen, packaging room and additional improvements ~~furniture, fixtures, and equipment related to this property.~~ were financed by a loan from Fifth Third Bank.

Depreciation on the building and the related improvements, furniture, fixtures, and equipment began when ~~Artisan~~the Company occupied the facility in October, 2015.

On November 8, 2019 the Company, through a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary, purchased a logistics and warehouse facility (the “Facility”) for $4.5 million. The Facility is approximately 200,000 square feet and is situated on approximately 15 acres in Mountain Top, Pennsylvania. The Facility’s appraised value by a third party appraisal firm in 2021 was $9,400,000. Related to the Facility purchase, the Company entered into a commercial loan agreement for both the purchase price and planned improvements to the Facility. The amount of the loan was $5,500,000, of which $3,600,000 had been utilized at September 30, 2021 in connection with the purchase of the Facility; the lender is Fifth Third Bank and the loan is secured by a mortgage on the property and other Company assets. The interest on the loan is LIBOR plus 2.75%, with interest only payments due through September 30, 2020, thereafter with principal amortized over 20 years with the balance due at maturity on September 2, 2025. Related to Facility purchase, the Company also acquired certain leases from certain tenants of the Facility, all of which were in good standing at the time of purchase. Depreciation on the building began when the Company commenced recognizing revenue from leasing and logistics services associated with the Facility. On October 5, 2020, the Company completed work to upgrade the Facility at a cost of $2,231,458 in order to better support the Company’s focus on e-commerce and logistics. Of the build out costs, $1,900,000 was funded by the loan described below (See Note 13).

As detailed in ASC 350 “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other”, the Company tests for goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable. As detailed in ASC 350-20-35-3A, in performing its testing for goodwill impairment, management has completed a qualitative analysis to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of athe Company’s reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. To complete this review, management followed the steps in ASC 350-20-35-3C to evaluate the fair value of goodwill and considered all known events and circumstances that might trigger an impairment of goodwill.

COVID-19 has had a material negative impact on some of the Company’s foodservice customers. In an effort to limit the spread of the virus, federal, state and local governments have implemented measures that have resulted in the closure of non-essential businesses in many of the markets the Company serves, which has forced its customers in those markets to either transition their establishments to take-out service, delivery service or temporarily cease operations. These actions have led to a significant decrease in demand for certain of the Company’s foodservice products. The ~~analysis completed in 2016 determined~~adverse impact to the Company’s foodservice customer base was a triggering event and accordingly, as required by ASC 350, the Company performed interim goodwill and long-lived asset quantitative impairment tests during the first quarter of 2020. While the triggering event was a result of the negative impact related to foodservice customers, the applicable accounting rules then required an impairment test targeted specifically to any available carrying value of goodwill or intangible assets. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company performed the impairment tests on certain intangible assets and goodwill pursuant to the acquisitions through Artisan, Oasis, Innovative Gourmet and M Innovations.

Goodwill Impairment Test

This amount relates to certain performance-based payments over the twenty-four months following the acquisition ~~date.

During the ~~entire~~year ended December 31, 2018, the Company reduced this amount by $392,900 as the performance goals for the first year were not met. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company reduced this amount by $132,300 as the performance goals for the second year were not met. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company paid the amount of ~~$400,000~~$39,000 in connection with the additional liabilities. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company paid the amount of $40,000 in connection with the additional liabilities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company paid the amount of $0 and $8,000, respectively, in connection with the additional liabilities. At September 30, 2021, the amount of $67,000 remains on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as a current contingent liability, and $108,600 as a long term contingent liability.

Pursuant to the Mouth Foods LLC Asset Acquisition, the Company recorded contingent liabilities in the amount of $240,576. These amounts relate to the estimate of certain performance-based payments following the acquisition date as well as to certain additional liabilities that the Company has evaluated and has recorded on ~~its balance sheet at acquisition. $200,000~~a contingent basis. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company paid the amount of ~~this amount~~$120,576 in connection with these liabilities. At September 30, 2021, $120,000 is classified as a current ~~liability~~contingent liability.

License Agreements

In May 2019, the Company entered into a royalty-based license agreement, through December 31, 2022 with a lifestyle brand, which provides the exclusive right, with certain carve-outs and ~~$200,000~~limitations, to sell and promote branded gift baskets for certain channels including: retail, warehouse club stores, certain of the Company’s current e-commerce channels, and other e-commerce channels such as amazon.com (the “May 2019 License Agreement”). Pursuant to the May 2019 License Agreement, the Company paid an initial royalty deposit in the amount of $50,000 towards the minimum royalty, which is classified as ~~a long term liability~~other current assets on the Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2019.

As of September 30, ~~2017.~~2021, the Company has made the required minimum royalty payments.

Litigation

On September 16, 2019, an action (the “PA Action”) was filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, Trial Division, against, among others, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Innovative Gourmet LLC and Food Innovations, Inc. Since that time, other parties involved in the incident have joined as plaintiffs in the PA Action. The complaint in the PA Action alleges, inter alia, wrongful death and negligence by a driver employed by Innovative Gourmet and indicates a demand and offer to settle for 50 million dollars. We expect that should a settlement occur the amount to resolve the Action would be substantially lower. The Company and its subsidiaries had auto and umbrella insurance policies, among others, that were in effect for the relevant period The Company and its subsidiaries’ insurers have agreed to defend the Company and its subsidiaries in the PA Action (and the related action), subject to a reservation of rights. The Company believes that the likely outcome would result in the liabilities being covered by its insurance carriers. However, if the Company was found responsible for damages in excess of its available insurance coverage, such damages in excess of the coverage could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations. On July 16, 2020, the court granted the Company's motion to stay the case through the final adjudication of an additional pending legal proceeding against the driver in connection with the events related to the case. Because the statute of limitations on the incident has now run, it is not anticipated that any new plaintiffs involved in the incident will come forward against the Company and its subsidiaries.

~~Litigation~~

From time to time, the Company has become and may become involved in ~~various~~certain lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of ~~business.~~business, or as the result of current or previous investments, or current or previous subsidiaries, or current or previous employees, or current or previous directors, or as a result of acquisitions and dispositions or other corporate activities. The Company intends to vigorously defend its positions. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our ~~business.~~

~~On July 7, 2017, Scher Zalman Duchman~~financial position or our business and Deborah L. Duchman (collectively, “Duchmans”) filed an amended complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida seeking approximately $1 million in damages against Innovative Food Holdings, Inc., FD Acquisition Corp., and Sam Klepfish, IVFH’s CEO. The Duchmans, amongst other things, allege that defendants owed a fiduciary duty to the Duchmans to protect them, and their own personal guarantees and obligations, in connection with loans and other duties incurred by a former subsidiary of the Company. The Duchmans further allege that the defendants did not fulfill that alleged fiduciary obligation. In response to the lawsuit, IVFH has filed a motion, which is currently being considered by the court, seeking dismissal of claims on a number of bases. IVFH has also notified the court of a release and covenant not to sue executed by S. Duchman in April of 2016 in favor of IVFH and its officers which encompasses the claims the Duchmans have asserted. IVFH believes that this lawsuit is without merit and is an attempt by the Duchmans to drag IVFH into the Duchmans’ personal financial matters which are unrelated to IVFH. While IVFH intends to vigorously defend against this lawsuit, the outcome of ~~this lawsuit~~these matters cannot be ultimately be predicted.

Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates include certain assumptions related to doubtful accounts receivable, stock-based services, valuation of financial instruments, operating right of use assets and liabilities, and income taxes. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and concentration of credit risk. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Accounts subject to estimate and judgements are accounts receivable reserves, income taxes, intangible assets, contingent liabilities, and ~~equity based~~equity-based instruments. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe our estimates have not been materially inaccurate in past years, and our assumptions are not likely to change in the foreseeable future.

Provision for Doubtful Accounts Receivable

The Company maintained an allowance in the amount of ~~$5,436~~$376,331 for doubtful accounts receivable at September 30, ~~2017,~~2021, and ~~$56,371~~$343,832 at ~~September 30, 2016.~~December 31, 2020. The Company has an operational relationship of several years with our major customers, and we believe this experience provides us with a solid foundation from which to estimate our expected losses on accounts receivable. Should our sales mix change or if we develop new lines of business or new customers, these estimates and our estimation process will change accordingly. These estimates have been accurate in the past.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The estimated fair values approximate their carrying value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments or the stated interest rates are indicative of market interest rates. These fair values have historically varied due to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of valuation. ~~Generally, these~~

Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities ~~increased as~~are recognized for the ~~price~~future tax consequences attributable to financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of applicable tax law. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance based on the amount of tax benefits that, based on available evidence, is not expected to be realized.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) and short-term and long-term lease liabilities are included on the face of the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Finance lease ROU assets are presented within other assets, and finance lease liabilities are presented within accrued liabilities.

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s ~~stock increased (with resultant gain), and decreased as the Company’s stock decreased (yielding a loss). In December 2012,~~leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company ~~removed these liabilities from its balance sheet by reclassifying them as equity.~~

~~Income Taxes~~

uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a ~~history of losses, and as such has recorded no liability for income taxes. Until such time as~~single lease component. For lease agreements with terms less than 12 months, the Company ~~begins to provide evidence that~~has elected the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption, and it recognizes such lease payments on a ~~continued profit is a reasonable expectation, management will not determine that there is a~~straight-line basis ~~for accruing an income tax liability. These estimates have been accurate in~~over the ~~past.~~lease term.

Background

We were initially formed in June 1979 as Alpha Solarco Inc., a Colorado corporation. From June 1979 through February 2003, we were either inactive or involved in discontinued business ventures. We changed our name to Fiber Application Systems Technology, Ltd in February 2003. In January 2004, we changed our state of incorporation by merging into Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. ~~(IVFH)~~(“IVFH”), a Florida corporation formed for that purpose. As a result of the merger, we changed our name to that of Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. In January 2004, we also acquired Food Innovations, Inc. (“FII” or “Food Innovations”), a Delaware corporation, for 500,000 shares of our common stock.

On May 18, 2012, the Company executed a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Artisan Specialty Foods, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“Artisan”), from its owner, Mr. David Vohaska. The purchase price was $1.2 million, with up to another $300,000 (with a fair value of $131,000) payable in the event certain financial milestones were met over the next one or two years. Those milestones have been met. The purchase price was primarily financed via a loan from Alpha Capital in the principal amount of $1,200,000. The loan was repaid in November 2013 via the issuance of a loan from Fifth Third Bank which has been paid in full. Prior to the acquisition, Artisan was a supplier and had sold products to the Company.

(“Oasis”), purchased substantially all of the assets of Oasis Sales and Marketing, L.L.C. for $300,000 cash; a $200,000 structured equity instrument which can be paid in cash or shares of the Company stock at the Company’s option, anytime under certain conditions, or is automatically payable via the issuance of 200,000 shares if the Company’s shares close above $1.00 for ten consecutive days; a $100,000 note; and up to an additional $400,000 in earn-outs over two years if certain milestones are met. The Agreement also contains claw-back provisions if certain revenue conditions are not met.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Prior year balances have been recast to reflect the sale of 90% of our interest in The Fresh Diet, Inc. in February 2016. Results of discontinued operations are excluded from the accompanying results of operations for all periods presented, unless otherwise noted. See Note 4 – discontinued operations in the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements.

This discussion may contain forward looking-statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our future results could differ materially from the forward looking-statements discussed in this report. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere in the report.

The world has been emerging from the grip of a coronavirus pandemic, which began in 2020 and has wreaked havoc on economies world-wide, including in the U.S., which is our primary market. As a result of the pandemic, restaurants, hotels, country clubs, casinos, catering houses and other of our primary customers have either been closed completely or are only partially open with significantly reduced operations. Accordingly, foodservice revenues, which historically have been a significant overall portion of our revenues, have been significantly reduced as most foodservice establishments across the United States closed or had limited operations. As a result, foodservice revenues starting in the second half of March 2020 and continuing through the first quarter of 2021 experienced unprecedented declines. As the pandemic has begun to decline in the United States and establishments have begun to reopen, we have experienced improving foodservice revenues starting in the second quarter of 2021 although our revenues have not yet reached previous historical levels.

Conversely, we have experienced significant growth in our on-line e-commerce revenues as overall e-commerce grew as demand for food products continued across the United States. Accordingly, we have focused our resources on meeting the growth of e-commerce revenues.

Revenue

~~Revenue~~

Revenue increased by ~~$1,401,194~~$3,972,727 or approximately ~~15%~~35.4% to ~~$10,495,637~~$15,207,353 for the three months ended September 30, ~~2017~~2021 from ~~$9,094,443~~$11,234,626 in the prior year. The increase in revenues is primarily attributable to an increase in specialty foodservice revenues which was driven by the nationwide opening of restaurants and other foodservice establishments previously affected by COVID-19. As more foodservice establishments and restaurants have re-opened we have experienced improving foodservice revenues, although revenues still remain slightly below historical levels. The increase in specialty foodservice revenue was partially offset with decreases mainly associated with e-commerce revenues. Though e-commerce revenue remain significantly above historical levels, the decreases during the current period were the result of decreases in COVID-19 driven demand in 2021 compared to 2020.

We continue to assess the potential of new revenue sources from the manufacture and sale of proprietary food products, private label products and additional sales channel opportunities in both the foodservice and consumer space and will implement ~~that~~a strategy ~~if,~~which based on our analysis ~~we deem it~~provides the most beneficial ~~to us.~~opportunity for growth.

Any changes in the food distribution and specialty foods operating landscape that materially hinders our current ability and/or cost to deliver our products to our customers could potentially cause a material impact on our net revenue and gross margin and, therefore, our profitability and cash flows could be adversely affected.

Currently, a small portion of our revenues comes from imported products or international sales. Our current sales from such ~~segments~~markets may be hampered and negatively impacted by any economic tariffs that may be imposed in the United States or in foreign countries.

The increase in revenues is primarily attributable to an increase in specialty foodservice revenues which was driven by the nationwide opening of restaurants and other foodservice establishments previously affected by COVID-19. As more foodservice establishments and restaurants have re-opened we have experienced accelerated improvements in foodservice revenues, although revenues still remain below historical levels. The increase in specialty foodservice was partially offset with revenues decreases mainly associated with e-commerce revenues. Though e-commerce revenue remain significantly above historical levels, the decreases during the current period were the result of decreases in COVID-19 pandemic driven demand in 2021 compared to 2020.

2021 Plans

Since 2020 the world has been in the grip of a pandemic which has wreaked havoc on economies world-wide, including in the U.S., which is our primary market. As a result of the pandemic, restaurants, hotels, country clubs, casinos, catering houses and other of our primary customers have either been closed completely or are only partially open with significantly reduced operations. Accordingly, foodservice revenues, which historically have been a significant overall portion of our revenues have been significantly reduced as most foodservice establishments cross the United States closed or had limited operations. As a result, foodservice revenue commencing in the second half of March 2020 and continuing throughout the year and into 2021, experienced unprecedented declines. As the pandemic has begun to decline in the United States and foodservice establishments have begun to reopen, we have experienced improving foodservice revenues although our revenues have not ~~made any adjustments~~yet reached its previous historical levels. While the decline in the pandemic and the re-opening of bricks and mortar stores resulted in a decline of e-commerce revenues compared to the ~~financial statements~~comparable quarter in 2020, ecommerce revenues remained significantly above pre-pandemic historical levels.

In April 2020 we applied for and received a loan of approximately $1.6 million under a program established under a recent congressionally approved program which ~~would be necessary should~~is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. In 2021 we applied for and received $1,748,414 in new loans under a similar government program administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. In October 2021, the Company received notification from Fifth Third Bank, N.A. that principal and accrued interest in the aggregate amounts of $1,499,054 and $9,866, respectively, due under four of the Additional PPP Loans had been forgiven. In addition, between the government loans, the potential forgiveness of the remaining government loans, cash on hand, access to outside capital, and our current expectations of incoming revenues, we believe we have sufficient resources to continue operating for at least the next 12 months. However, inasmuch as we cannot predict the timing of quarantines, curfews, stay in place orders, and closures of non-essential businesses and the effect of the pandemic on general economic activities, we cannot predict the trajectory of the pandemic and the amount of economic stress we could experience if the pandemic were to worsen in the United States and worldwide. While we intend to continue to focus on executing on our strategic growth plans, given the current economic conditions, we are not be able to ~~continue as a going concern.~~ determine the exact timeframe in 2021, if at all, that we can then again consider fully implementing portions of the plans described below.

~~2017 Plans~~

During ~~2017, in addition to our efforts to increase sales in our existing foodservice operations~~2021, we plan ~~to attempt~~ to expand our business by expanding our focus to additional specialty foods markets ~~in both~~and by leveraging our e-commerce platform to launch and grow, either organically and/or through acquisition, new D2C brands and e-commerce sites within targeted consumer areas, on the ~~consumer and foodservice sector,~~Company’s e-commerce platform. In addition, we will continue exploring potential acquisition and partnership opportunities with influencers and ~~continuing~~other celebrities to continue to extend our focus in the specialty food market through the growth of the Company’s existing sales channels and through a variety of additional potential sales channel ~~relationships which are currently being explored.~~relationships. In addition, we are currently exploring the introduction of, or have introduced into the market, a variety of new product categories and new product lines, including private label products and proprietary branded products to leverage our existing foodservice and consumer customer base.

Furthermore, the Company intends to continue to expand its activities in the direct to consumer space and the overall consumer packaged goods (CPG) space through leveraging its overall capabilities in the consumer space, including leveraging its direct to consumer e-commerce platform to reach both additional customers in multiple channels, and to expand availability of its e-commerce capabilities to additional products and markets.

No assurances can be given that any of these plans will come to fruition or that if implemented that they will necessarily yield positive results.

The complaint in the PA Action alleges, inter alia, wrongful death and negligence by a driver employed by Innovative Gourmet and indicates a demand and offer to settle for fifty million dollars. We expect that should a settlement occur the amount to resolve the Action would be substantially lower. The Company and its subsidiaries had auto and umbrella insurance policies, among others, that were in effect for the relevant period. The Company and its subsidiaries’ insurers have agreed to defend the Company and its subsidiaries in the PA Action (and the related action), subject to a reservation of rights. The Company believes that the likely outcome would result in the liabilities being covered by its insurance carriers. However, if the Company was found responsible for damages in excess of its available insurance coverage, such damages in excess of the coverage could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations. On July 16, 2020, the court granted the Company's motion to stay the case through the final adjudication of an additional pending legal proceeding against the driver in connection with the events related to the case. It is not anticipated that the Company and its subsidiaries will be a party to any other legal proceedings in connection with this matter. Because the statute of limitations on the incident has now run, it is not anticipated that any new plaintiffs involved in the incident will come forward against the Company and its subsidiaries.

~~On July 7, 2017, Scher Zalman Duchman~~financial position or our business and Deborah L. Duchman (collectively, “Duchmans”) filed an amended complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida seeking approximately $1 million in damages against Innovative Food Holdings, Inc., FD Acquisition Corp., and Sam Klepfish, IVFH’s CEO. The Duchmans, amongst other things, allege that defendants owed a fiduciary duty to the Duchmans to minimize the Duchmans’ own personal guarantees and personal obligations related to loans and other obligations incurred by a former subsidiary of the Company and that the Defendants did not fulfill that alleged fiduciary obligation. In response to the lawsuit, IVFH has filed a motion, which is currently being considered by the court, seeking dismissal of all claims on a number of basis including providing the court with a copy of a release and covenant not to sue executed by the Duchmans in April of 2017 in favor of IVFH and its officers which encompasses the claims the Duchmans have asserted. IVFH believes that this lawsuit is without merit and is an attempt by the Duchmans to drag IVFH into the Duchmans’ personal financial matters which are unrelated to IVFH. While IVFH intends to vigorously defend against this lawsuit, the outcome of ~~this lawsuit~~these matters cannot be ultimately be predicted.
