Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 20172022

(unaudited)(Unaudited)

1.Description of Business

1. Description of Business

Eastside Distilling (the “Company” or “Eastside Distilling”) was incorporated under the laws of Nevada in 2004 under the name of Eurocan Holdings, Ltd. In December 2014, the Company changed its corporate name to Eastside Distilling, Inc. (“Eastside” orto reflect the “Company”) is an Oregon-based produceracquisition of Eastside Distilling, LLC. The Company manufactures, acquires, blends, bottles, imports, markets and marketersells a wide variety of craft spirits, foundedalcoholic beverages under recognized brands. The Company currently employs 75 people in 2008. Our productsthe United States.

The Company’s spirits’ brands span several alcoholic beverage categories, including bourbon, American whiskey, vodka, rum, and rum. Unlike many, if not most, distillers, we operate several retail tasting roomstequila. The Company sells products on a wholesale basis to distributors in Oregonopen states and through brokers in control states.

The Company operates a mobile craft canning business that primarily services the craft beer and craft cider industries. During 2022, the Company made substantial investments to market our brands directlyexpand its product offerings to consumers. Our growth strategy is to build on our local baseinclude digital can printing activities in the Pacific Northwest (together Craft Canning + Printing, “Craft C+P”). Craft C+P operates 14 mobile filling lines in Seattle, Washington; Spokane, Washington; Portland, Oregon; and expand selectivelyDenver, Colorado. The Company now offers co-packing services in Portland, Oregon through its recent asset acquisition, allowing it to other markets by using major spirits distributors, such as Southern Glazer Winesoffer end-to-end production capabilities.

2. Liquidity

The Company’s primary capital requirements are for cash used in operating activities and Spirits, and regional distributors that focus on craft brands. As a small business in the large, international spirits marketplace populated with massive conglomerates, we are innovative in exploiting new trends with our products, for example, our Coffee Rum with cold brew coffee and low sugar and our gluten-free potato vodka. In December 2016 we retained Sandstrom Partners (an internationally known spirit branding firm that branded St Germain and Bulleit Bourbon) to guide our marketing strategy and branding. Sandstrom Partners subsequently became an investor in our Company. We seek to be both a leader in creating spirits that offer better value than comparable spirits, for example our value-priced Portland Potato Vodka, and an innovator in creating imaginative spirits that offer a unique taste experience, for example our cold-brewed Coffee Rum, Oregon oak aged whiskeys, Marionberry Whiskey and Peppermint Bark holiday liqueur. On May 1, 2017, we acquired 90%repayment of the ownership of Big Bottom Distillery (“BBD”) for its excellent, award winning range of super premium gins and whiskeys, including The Ninety One Gin, Navy Strength Gin, Oregon Gin, Delta Rye and initial production of American Single Malt Whiskey. BBD’s super premium spirits will expand our tasting room offerings and give us a presence at the “high end” of the market.

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated inon consolidation.

Segment Reporting

The Company determined its operating segment on the same basis that it uses to evaluate its performance internally. The Company has one business activity, producing, marketing and distributing hand-crafted spirits, and operates as one segment. The Company’s chief operating decision makers, its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, review the Company’s operating results on an aggregate basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Net revenue includessales include product sales, less excise taxes and customer programs and incentives. The Company recordsrecognizes revenue by applying the following steps in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when all four of the following criteria are met: (i) thereeach performance obligation is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery of the products and/or services has occurred; (iii) the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.satisfied.

The Company recognizes sales when merchandise is shipped from a warehouse directly to wholesale customers (except in the case of a consignment sale). For consignment sales, which include sales to the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, (OLCC), the Company recognizes sales upon the consignee’s shipment to the customer. Postage and handling charges billed to customers are also recognized as sales upon shipment of the related merchandise. Shipping terms are generally FOB shipping point, and title passes to the customer at the time and place of shipment or purchase by customers at a retail location. For consignment sales, title passes to the consignee concurrent with the consignee’s shipment to the customer. The customer has no cancellation privileges after shipment or upon purchase at retail locations, other than customary rights of return. The Company excludes sales tax collected and remitted to various states from sales and cost of sales. Sales from items sold through the Company’s retail location are recognized at the time of sale.

Customer Programs and Incentives

Customer programs, and incentives, which include customer promotional discount programs, customer incentives and other payments, are a common practice in the alcoholalcoholic beverage industry. The Company makes these payments to customers and incurs these costsreimburses wholesalers for an agreed amount to promote sales of products and to maintain competitive pricing. Amounts paid in connection with customer programs and incentives are recorded as reductions to net sales or as advertising, promotional and selling expenses in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605-50, ASC 606 - Revenue Recognition - Customer Payments and Incentives, based on the nature of the expenditure.from Contracts with Customers. Amounts paid to customersin customer programs totaled $118,389 and $72,918$0.2million for both the nine months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016, respectively.2021.

Advertising, Promotional and Selling Expenses

The following expenses are included in advertising, promotions and selling expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations: media advertising costs, special event costs, tasting room costs, sales and marketing expenses, salary and benefit expenses, travel and entertainment expenses for the sales, brand and sales support workforce and promotional activity expenses.

Advertising, promotional and selling expense was $1,499,751 and $951,293 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales consists of the costs of ingredients utilized in the production of spirits, manufacturing labor and overhead, warehousing rent, packaging, and in-bound freight charges. Ingredients account for the largest portion of the cost of sales, followed by packaging and production costs.

Shipping and Fulfillment Costs

Freight costs incurred related to shipment of merchandise from the Company’s distribution facilities to customers are recorded in cost of sales.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are considered to be highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of the purchase. The Company had no cash equivalents at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Concentrations

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. At September 30, 2017, four customers represented 82% of trade receivables, and at December 31, 2016, three customers represented 91% of trade receivables. Sales to two customers accounted for approximately 48% of consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Fair Value Measurements

GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. GAAP permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and contains financial statement presentation and disclosure requirements for assets and liabilities for which the fair value option is elected. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, management has not elected to report any of the Company’s assets or liabilities at fair value under the “fair value option” provided by GAAP.

The hierarchy of fair value valuation techniques under GAAP provides for three levels: Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3, if applicable, generally would require significant management judgment. The three levels for categorizing assets and liabilities under GAAP’s fair value measurement requirements are as follows:

Level 1:Fair value of the asset or liability is determined using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:Fair value of the asset or liability is determined using inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the applicable asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar (as opposed to identical) assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3:Fair value of the asset or liability is determined using unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement and reflect management’s own assumptions regarding the applicable asset or liability.

None of the Company’s assets or liabilities were measured at fair value at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. However, GAAP requires the disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments that are not measured at fair value. Financial instruments consist principally of trade receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, note payable, and convertible note payable. The estimated fair value of trade receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximates their carrying value due to the short period of time to their maturities. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s note payable and convertible notes payable are at fixed rates and their carrying value approximates fair value.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities acquired in a business acquisition are valued at fair value at the date of acquisition.

Inventories

Inventories primarily consist of bulk and bottled liquor and merchandise and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using an average costing methodology, which approximates cost under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. A portion of inventory is held by certain independent distributors on consignment until it is sold to a third party. The Company regularly monitors inventory quantities on hand and records write-downs for excess and obsolete inventories based primarily on the Company’s estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements. Such write-downs establish a new cost basis of accounting for the related inventory. The Company has recorded no write-downs of inventory for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to seven years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the life of the lease or the useful lives of the assets, whichever is shorter. The cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization of property and equipment sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reported as current period income or expense. The costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Intangible Assets / Goodwill

The Company accounts for long-lived assets, including property and equipment, at amortized cost. Management reviews long-lived assets for probable impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If there is an indication of impairment, management would prepare an estimate of future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these estimated cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss would be recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, no impairment loss was recognized.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is based on income and expenses as reported for financial statement purposes using the “asset and liability method” for accounting for deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company established valuation allowances against its net deferred tax assets.

Income tax positions that meet the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of income tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with income tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above would be reflected as a liability for unrecognized income tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized income tax benefits would be classified as additional income taxes in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were no unrecognized income tax benefits, nor any interest and penalties associated with unrecognized income tax benefits, accrued or expensed at and for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

The Company files federal income tax returns in the U.S. and various state income tax returns. The Company is no longer subject to examinations by the related tax authorities for the Company’s U.S. federal and state income tax returns for years prior to 2011.

Comprehensive Income

The Company does not have any reconciling other comprehensive income items for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Excise Taxes

The Company is responsible for compliance with the TTBAlcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (“TTB”) regulations, which includes making timely and accurate excise tax payments. The Company is subject to periodic compliance audits by the TTB. Individual states also impose excise taxes on alcoholalcoholic beverages in varying amounts. The Company calculates its excise tax expense based upon units produced and on its understanding of the applicable excise tax laws. Excise taxes totaled $654,136$0.2 million and $469,936$0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 20172022 and 2016,2021, respectively.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales consists of all direct costs related to both spirits and canning for service, labor, overhead, packaging, and in-bound freight charges. Ingredients account for the largest portion of the cost of sales, followed by packaging and production costs.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses consist of sponsorships, agency fees, digital media, salary and benefit expenses, travel and entertainment expenses. Sales and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising and marketing expenses totaled $0.6 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist of salary and benefit expenses, travel and entertainment expenses for executive and administrative staff, rent and utilities, professional fees, insurance, and amortization and depreciation expense. General and administrative costs are expensed as incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes as compensation expense all stock-based awards issued to employees. The compensation cost is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the related stock-based awards and is recognized over the service period of stock-based awards, which is generally the same as the vesting period. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which estimates the fair value of each award on the date of grant based on a variety of assumptions including expected stock price volatility, expected terms of the awards, risk-free interest rate, and dividend rates, if applicable. Stock-based awards issued to nonemployees are recorded at fair value on the measurement date and are subject to periodic market adjustments at the end of each reporting period and as the underlying stock-based awards vest. Stock-based compensation was $900,130

Concentrations

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. As of September 30, 2022, two distributors represented 37% of trade receivables. As of December 31, 2021, four wholesale customers represented 42% of trade receivables. Sales to one distributor and $427,947one wholesale customer accounted for 43% of consolidated sales for the nine months ended September 30, 20172022. Sales to two wholesale customers accounted for 24% of consolidated sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The estimated fair value of trade receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying value due to the short period of time to their maturities. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the principal amounts of the Company’s notes approximate fair value.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities acquired in a business acquisition are valued at fair value at the date of acquisition due to having indefinite lives. The Company, on an annual basis, tests the indefinite life assets for impairment. If an indefinite life asset is found to be impaired, then the Company will estimate its useful life and amortize the asset over the remainder of its useful life.

Inventories

Inventories primarily consist of bulk and bottled liquor and raw materials and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using an average costing methodology, which approximates cost under the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. A portion of the Company’s finished goods inventory is held by certain independent distributors on consignment until it is sold to a third party. The Company regularly monitors inventory quantities on hand and records write-downs for excess and obsolete inventories based primarily on the Company’s estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements. Such write-downs establish a new cost basis of accounting for the related inventory.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to seven years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the life of the lease or the useful lives of the assets, whichever is shorter.

The costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Intangible Assets / Goodwill

The Company accounts for certain intangible assets at cost. Management reviews these intangible assets for probable impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If there is an indication of impairment, management would prepare an estimate of future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these estimated cash flows were less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss would be recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. The Company performed a qualitative assessment of certain of its intangible assets as of September 30, 2022 and determined that they were not impaired.

Long-lived Assets

The Company accounts for long-lived assets, including certain intangible assets, at amortized cost. Management reviews long-lived assets for probable impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable.

For the spirits program, interest is charged interest on the advanced 75% payment at a rate of 1.5% per month.2.4% for the first 30 days plus 1.44% for each additional ten-day period. For the co-packing program, interest is charged against the greater of $0.5 million or the total funds advanced at a rate of 1% plus the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal.

In certain limited instances, the Company may provide collection services on the factored accounts but does not receive any fees for acting as the collection agent, and as such, the Company has not recognized a service obligation asset or liability. The agreement with the spirits program had a zero balance as of September 30, 2022. The Company factored $0.3 million of invoices and incurred $3,150 in fees associated with the co-packing program during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. At2022.

RecentRecently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016,October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standard Boards (the “FASB”Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting StandardStandards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09,2021-08, Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”), which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures,Contract Assets and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We have adopted ASU 2016-09 as of March 31, 2017.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date:

-A lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and
-A right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.

Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new lease guidance simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e., January 1, 2019, for a calendar year entity). Early application is permitted for all public business entities upon issuance. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09,RevenueContract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), (“ASU 2014-09”2021-08”).ASU 2014-09 will supersede virtually all existing revenue guidance. Under this update, an entity is required to recognize revenue upon transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. As such, an entity will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. ASU 2014-09 is to be applied retrospectively either to each prior reporting period presented in the financial statements, or only to the most current reporting period presented in the financial statements with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Company will elect to apply the impact (if any) of applying ASU 2014-09 to the most current reporting period presented in the financial statements with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date(“ASU 2015-14”). ASU 2015-14 deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for one year, making it effective for the year beginning December 31, 2017, with early adoption permitted as of January 1, 2017. The Company currently expects to adopt ASU 2014-09 in the first quarter of 2018. The Company does not expect adoption of ASU 2014-09 to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15,Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern(“ASU 2014-15”). The new guidance explicitly requires that management assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and may require additional detailed disclosures. ASU 2014-15 was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. We adopted ASU 2014-15 as of December 31, 2016. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2014-15 had any material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11,Inventory (Topic 330), Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015-11”). ASU 2015-11 is part of the FASB’s initiative to simplify accounting standards. The guidance which requires an entity to recognize inventory within scope of the standard at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable valueand measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue Recognition. This ASU is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonable predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. ASU 2015-11 was effective prospectively for the year beginning January 1, 2017. We adopted ASU 2015-11 as of March 31, 2017. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2015-11 had any material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, simplifying the presentation of debt issuance costs, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. ASU 2015-03 was effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 20152022. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2021-08 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, (“ASU 2020-06”) which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating the beneficial conversion feature and cash conversion models. Certain convertible instruments will be accounted for as a single unit of account, unless the conversion feature requires bifurcation and recognition as a derivative. Additionally, this ASU simplifies the earnings per share calculation, by eliminating the treasury stock method and requiring entities to use the if-converted method. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2021 with early application wasadoption permitted. WeThe Company early adopted ASU 2015-03 as of2020-06 for the year ended December 31, 2015.2021.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)” (“ASU 2016-13”). The standard introduces a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on an estimate of current expected credit losses and will apply to trade receivables. The new guidance will be effective for the Company’s annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022.

Regardless of the outcome, litigation can, among other things, be time consuming and expensive to resolve, and can divert management resources.

On October 10, 2017, we received a letter from a law firm purporting to represent a Company stockholder named Jason Price. The letter stated that such representative was launching an “investigation” into certain grants of stock options and restricted stock units that exceeded applicable limits under the Company’s 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) (collectively, the “Additional Grants”). The representative stated the belief that the Board had violated the terms of the 2016 Plan by approving the Additional Grants, and such approval constituted a breach of fiduciary duty and possible evidence of material weaknesses in internal controls. The Board rejects any such contentions. Although we acknowledge that the Additional Grants were made despite the stated limits in the 2016 Plan, we believe that the Additional Grants were in the best interests of our stockholders. We believe that our existing corporate governance mechanisms are sufficiently robust as to be able to review and take a proper response to Mr. Price’s letter. We are seeking stockholder approval of the Additional Grants and of certain amendments to the 2016 Plan to increase such limits at the upcoming annual stockholder meeting on December 8, 2017.15.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to measure the grant-date fair value of stock options. The grant-date fair value of stock options issued to employees is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Stock-based awards issued to nonemployees are recorded at fair value on the measurement date and are subject to periodic market adjustments as the underlying stock-based awards vest.

To determine the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model, the calculation takes into consideration the effect of the following:

Exercise price of the option
Fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant
Expected term of the option
Expected volatility over the expected term of the option
Risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option

The calculation includes several assumptions that require management’s judgment. The expected term of the options is calculated using the simplified method described in GAAP. The simplified method defines the expected term as the average of the contractual term and the vesting period. Estimated volatility is derived from volatility calculated using historical closing prices of common shares of similar entities whose share prices are publicly available for the expected term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturities in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the options.

Aegis paid for the Aegis Note by certain selling stockholders, which includespaying $3.3 million to TQLA and the remaining $1.2 million was paid in cash to the Company. The Company pledged substantially all of its assets to secure its obligations to Aegis under the Aegis Note.

The Aegis Note bears interest at 9.25% per annum, payable every three months. The principal amount of the Aegis Note and a Commitment Fee of $45,000 will be payable on October 6, 2023. The Company has a conditional right to twice extent the maturity date of the Aegis Note by six months upon payment on each occasion of an extension fee of one percent of the principal balance.

On October 13, 2022, the Company entered into an Amendment Agreement with the holders of the 6% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes. The Amendment Agreement changed the Maturity Date of the Notes from October 18, 2022 to November 18, 2022. In consideration of the extension, the Company issued 96,153 shares of its common stock to each of the Subscribers.

Common Stock Issuance

On October 6, 2022, the Company issued 100,179 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrantsunder its 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. The shares were issued to purchase common stock held by certain selling stockholders (the “Selling Stockholder Warrants”). The selling stockholders will receive allthe members of the proceeds from the saleBoard of shares of common stock registered under the Post-Effective Amendment and the Company will not receive any proceeds from these sales. However, we may receive proceeds from the cash exercise of the Selling Stockholder Warrants, which, if exercised for cash with respect to all 1,123,516 shares, would result in gross proceeds to us of approximately $7,993,736. We intend to use any net proceeds from any exercise of the Selling Stockholder Warrants for operating costs, working capital, and general corporate purposes. The amount and timing of our actual use of proceeds may vary significantly depending upon numerous factors, including the actual amount of proceeds we receive and the timing of when we receive such proceeds. There is no guarantee that the Selling Stockholder Warrants will be exercised in full or at all. Directors as quarterly compensation.

Mission-What We Do

Our mission is to source, make and Exchange Commission.

Overview

We are an Oregon-based producer and marketer ofdeliver the best in class, end-to-end craft spirits founded in 2008. brands and product portfolio. In addition, we contract pack and decorate cans and bottles with distinct capability and craftsmanship, as well as now offer advanced digital can printing with custom graphics and co-packing services.

Strategy

Our productsspirits brands span several alcoholic beverage categories, including bourbon, American whiskey, vodka, rum and rum. Unlike many, iftequila. We sell our products on a wholesale basis to distributors in open states, and brokers in control states. Craft C+P primarily services the craft beer, cider and kombucha beverage segments. Craft C+P operates 14 mobile lines in Seattle and Spokane, Washington; Portland, Oregon; and Denver, Colorado, as well as now offers digital can printing to customers and co-packing services.

Eastside Distilling is unique in several specific areas: (1) to our knowledge, we are the only craft spirits company listed on Nasdaq, (2) we do not most,function as a traditional craft distillery with store fronts relying on local sales, (3) our contract manufacturing division is diversified, and (4) we have a diversified portfolio of spirits brands. We are similar to other craft distillers in that (1) we operate several retail tasting rooms in Oregon to markethave concentrated local volume, (2) we produce small batches and remain within the volume definition of “Craft”, and (3) our brands directlyachieve success through differentiation, discovery and distribution.

The U.S. spirits market is occupied by large multi-national conglomerates with substantially more resources than Eastside Distilling. However, we can use our small size to consumers. be fast, focused, and flexible in our strategy. If we attempt to grow too quickly, we may lack the underlying strength required to build scale with loyalty via strong unaided awareness and powerfully derived attributes. Moreover, attempting to focus our “frame-of-reference” to compete with the biggest brands in the most expensive venues is likely to fail unless we first establish underlying brand equity.

Our growth strategy is to build onutilize our local base in the Pacific Northwestpublic company stature to our advantage and position to expand selectively to other markets by using major spirits distributors, such as Southern Glazer Wines andour two distinct businesses – Spirits and regional distributors that focus on craft brands. As a small business in the large, internationalCraft C+P. Our spirits marketplace populated with massive conglomerates, we are innovative in exploiting new trends with our products, for example, our Coffee Rum with cold brew coffee and low sugar and our gluten-free potato vodka. In December 2016 we retained Sandstrom Partners (an internationally known spirit branding firm that branded St Germain and Bulleit Bourbon) to guide our marketing strategy and branding. Sandstrom Partners subsequently became an investor in our Company. We seekportfolio is to be bothpositioned as a leader in creatingleading regional craft spirits provider that offer better value than comparabledevelops brands, expands geographic presence growing revenue and cash flow. We look to grow and vertically integrate our Craft C+P business to expand our product offerings and improve our competitive position. These two segments are detailed below.

Segments

Spirits

Over the years, we have developed, matured, perfected, or acquired then launched many award-winning spirits while evolving to meet the growing demand for example our value-pricedquality products and services associated with the burgeoning craft and premium beverage trade. Our portfolio includes originals like the Quercus garryana barrel-finished Burnside Whiskey family, Portland Potato Vodka, and an innovator in creating imaginative spirits that offer a unique taste experience, for example our cold-brewedHue-Hue Coffee Rum, and Azuñia Tequilas.

Burnside Whiskey Family – Our Burnside Whiskey Family celebrates the unique attributes of the native Oregon Oak tree (Quercus garryana). The unique complexity of each distinct whiskey comes from blending Oregon Oak barrels of differing sizes, char levels, and ages. After an initial experiment in 2012, we made it our mission to turn the Burnside program into a one-of-a-kind oak study.

Portland Potato Vodka – Our award-winning premium craft vodka is distilled four times to ensure a smooth finish. While most vodka is made from grain, we source award winning premium potato ethanol and blend it with pristine water sourced from Oregon.

Hue-Hue (pronounced “way-way”) Coffee Rum – Premium silver rum is blended with concentrated cold-brewed coffee and a small amount of Demerara sugar. We source fair-trade, single-origin Arabica coffee beans from the Finca El Paternal Estate in Huehuetenango, Guatemala that are lightly roasted for us by Portland Coffee Roasters.

Azuñia Tequilas – Smooth, clean, tequilas crafted by Rancho Miravalle, a second generation, family-owned-and-operated estate, bursting with authentic flavor from the local terroir of Tequila Valley, Mexico. 100% pure Weber Blue Agave is harvested by hand, roasted in traditional clay hornos, and finished with a natural, open-air fermentation process. It is bottled on-site in small batches using a consistent process to deliver consistent field-to-bottle quality and exclusively exported by Agaveros Unidos de Amatitán.

Eastside Brands – We make the unique by blending together the unusual, craft inspired, experiential brands and high-quality artisan, in-and-out, seasonal and ongoing limited-edition products. Each Eastside-branded product is rare and hard-to-get with a peculiar balance of age and innovation, craftsmanship and curiosity, creativity and restraint.

Craft Canning + Printing

With 10 years of experience in the mobile canning business, we’ve become the West’s most trusted and premier mobile packaging provider. We serve locations in Oregon, oak aged whiskeys, Marionberry WhiskeyWashington and Peppermint Bark holiday liqueur. On May 1, 2017, we acquired 90%Colorado. Our team of professionals have packaged hundreds of award-winning products across both established and innovative beverage segments - beer, wine, cider, RTD cocktails, kombucha, seltzer, and many more. We use extensive proprietary and data-driven quality control measures and a robust clean-in-place procedure in order to provide the ownershipbest packaging service for our customers. We take great pride in helping local beverage producers expand their distribution reach by using our service to offer industry-top quality and branding. Our greatest asset is the unmatched expertise of Big Bottom Distillery (“BBD”) for its excellent, award winning rangeour talented group of super premium gins and whiskeys, including The Ninety One Gin, Navy Strength Gin, Oregon Gin, Delta Rye and initial production of American Single Malt Whiskey. BBD’s super premium spirits will expand our tasting room offerings and give us a presence at the “high end” of the market. In addition, through MotherLode Craft Distillery (“MotherLode”), our wholly-owned subsidiary acquired in March 2017, we also provide contract bottlingprinting and packaging professionals who show up every day to go above and beyond to get the job done.

Digital Can Printing

We now operate an innovative digital can printer that will revolutionize the growing custom canning operation. Our new printer, the German-made Hinterkopf D240.2, is the only one of its kind on the West Coast and one of ten in the world. The new acquisition gives Craft C+P the ability to offer unparalleled customization and flexibility to craft beverage producers seeking direct printing for canning projects of all sizes while having a production capacity of over 28 million cans. The new printer began operations in April 2022.

We print 12-ounce or 16-ounce cans in any quantity with any image. This flexibility allows for custom graphics of limited releases, vintages, partnerships, and special events.

In connection with the can printer, we partnered with a leading can provider to provide quality canning services from end to end. The new partnership guarantees a current and future supply of domestically manufactured Crown cans, cost-effective solutions for our customers, and improved logistics for beverage producers.

Co-packing Facility

We now offer co-packing services in Portland, Oregon through our recent asset acquisition, allowing us to offer end-to-end production capabilities. We currently are the exclusive provider of can printing and co-packing services for existinga CBD and emerging spirits producers, somewellness water maker.

Mobile Canning

Our Craft mobile team offers a variety of whom contract with us to blend or distill spirits. As a publicly-traded craft spirit producer, we have access to the public capital markets to support our long-term growth initiatives, including strategic acquisitions.services and products, including:

High Mobile Canning Capacity – We operate 14 Wild Goose MC-250 machines, with the capacity to can over 150,000 barrels per year. In addition to the canning lines, we use custom in-house designed fully automated depalletizers and twist rinses.

Large Craft Volumes – With capabilities of around 600-800 cases per shift, we can manage any volume. Averaging 40 cans per minute, each machine can do 100 cases per hour.

Dedicated Team – All of our employees are carefully and rigorously trained. A fully insured workforce is ready to take on any and all of the customer’s packaging needs. We believe in continuous improvement, and we understand the value of our clients’ products and dedicate ourselves to making every run a successful run.

Quality Control – Hach Orbispheres measure our dissolved oxygen (“DO”) during packaging to ensure the lowest Total Packaged Oxygen for the customer’s can. We use luminometers and ATP swabs to ensure sanitation of our equipment. We can provide Zahm & Nagel volume meters to measure carbon dioxide (“CO2”) volumes in carbonated products before packaging. As masters of the “double seam” we frequently take on-site measurements with micrometers. We also offer CMC Kuhnke technology to generate even more accurate measurements in the form of visual seam reports.

 

Third

Velcorin and Nitrogen Dosing – We have both velcorin and nitrogen dosing capabilities that supports microbial control and allows packaging of still products in addition to carbonated and nitrogenated beverages.

Pre-printing and Outfeed Labeling – Bringing on advanced digital can printing technology from Hinterkopf in Q2 2022 allows us to offer customers both world-class aesthetics and full sustainability in an end-to-end branding and packaging solution, accessible from our smallest to our largest customers. We also provide outfeed labeling and the ability to package customer-provided branded cans of all varieties.
Location Flexibility – We allow our customers to choose the location of canning. We bring our mobile equipment to their facility, or our customers can bring their product to us for co-packing.

Recent Developments

During the second quarter grossof 2022, we began operating our new digital can printer providing our customers with photo-realistic graphics and the ability to make label changes at the last minute, as well as a sustainable product that is 100% recyclable, unlike the traditional craft label and shrink sleeve. These capabilities are game changers in the craft beverage space, offered to all makers of beverages not only brewers. During October 2022, we printed almost 1 million cans.

In addition, we purchased the assets of a maker of wellness beverages during the second quarter and we are contracted to be its exclusive provider of can printing and co-packing services. This asset purchase allows us to offer additional production capabilities to customers in our canning operation.

We faced a number of challenges in both business segments in 2021 that have continued into 2022. The COVID-19 pandemic presented significant operational challenges for both the mobile canning operation as well as spirits division. Increased competition, supply change issues and restructuring activities added to performance challenges in 2021 that have continued into 2022.

Our spirits volume has been soft during 2022, primarily due to terminating deep discounting of Azuñia tequila in 2021. In addition, we faced challenges with distribution partners that resulted in out of stocks at retail and missed programming windows. The majority of these issues are behind us as we head into the fourth quarter. Finally, we saw cost increases across much of our direct and indirect costs. While a substantial amount of our raw materials is owned, such as our whisky, and not susceptible to price inflation, imported tequila and other materials such as glass increased through the year. These challenges are expected to continue in the last quarter of 2022. The decline in distributed sales increased 12% overwas offset by a direct sale of nearly 1,500 barrels sold for $4.4 million during 2022.

Craft C+P also continues to face unique challenges and opportunities. In the prior year,beginning of the second quarter, we started a new business activity decorating craft beverage cans. The first half of 2022 involved substantial investment and gross salesplanning to launch the technology in a new Portland, Oregon based printing facility. This new initiative has helped us improve our competitive position and deal with a number of industry challenges. Beginning mid-year 2020 and throughout 2021, the craft beverage industry faced a shortage of aluminum cans. Domestic aluminum can manufacturers continue to make adjustments to manage a supply demand imbalance into 2022. As a result, buyers of aluminum cans continue to face uncertainties. We believe we have sourced an adequate supply of cans to supply our current business plan. In addition, suppliers have successfully passed through price increases, which we did not immediately pass through to our customers. Moreover, this period of rapidly escalating prices left us at a competitive disadvantage to others that had a superior source of cans. Digital printing has allowed us to improve our ability to pass through aluminum can price inflation. In addition, we have faced workforce challenges related to retention and hiring.

Sales

Sales were $12.0 million and $10.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased 28% over the prior year primarily due to three factors: 1) increased wholesale sales traction within the Pacific Northwest, especially with our vodka product as we strategically invested in programs to promote the vodka product while waiting for our new Burnside Bourbon branding launch (which will occur in the upcoming fourth quarter); 2) the acquisitions of MotherLode2022 and BBD,2021, respectively, and the expansion of our private label business;$3.1 million and 3) the addition of two new retail locations.

The Oregon market continues to experience strong year-over-year growth. During the first nine months of this year, Oregon sales expanded 52% and represented approximately 73% of overall sales, compared to 2016 where Oregon represented approximately 61% of sales. We achieved this success in Oregon despite softer Burnside Bourbon sales due to that specific product’s planned transition. National distribution sales declined year-over-year, which also was a result of our planned transition to our new Burnside Bourbon packaging (and our concurrent phasing out of our prior brands). With our planned introduction of our new Burnside Bourbon branding in the fourth quarter, we anticipate new markets outside of Oregon to resume their prior growth trends thereby making strong sales progress and becoming a larger percentage of our overall sales going forward.

We have invested heavily in our infrastructure (facilities, people, and marketing programs) in order to support our planned expansion and believe we are well positioned to leverage those investments made and thus experience improved performance throughout the balance of 2017 and into 2018.

The increase in sales inCraft C+P

Sales decreased for the threenine months ended September 30, 2017 is primarily attributable2022. The decrease partially reflected the more favorable circumstances for can sales during the pandemic, when on-premise consumption had yet to three factors:open up. We also experienced increased wholesale sales traction within the Pacific Northwest (which was offset by lower sales Nationally due to our Burnside product transition); our acquisitions of MotherLode and BBD and related expansion of our private label business; and the addition of three retail locations.

Excise taxes, customer programs and incentivescompetition. Sales increased for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased to $276,845, or approximately 14%, from $242,0422022 as our new digital can printer came online.

Customer programs and excise taxes

Customer programs and excise taxes were $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the comparable 2016 period. The increase is attributable to the increase in liquor sales due to our increased distributionnine months ended September 30, 2022 and sales traction during the period.

During2021, respectively, and $0.1 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2017, cost2022 and 2021. Included among customer programs during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was the discount of $0.1 million that we gave to a beverage maker that sold us its printing and canning assets.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales increasedconsists of all direct costs related to $384,265, or approximately 4%, from $370,854both spirits and canning for service, labor, overhead, packaging, and in-bound freight charges. Cost of sales were $9.0 million and $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $2.7 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is attributable2022 and 2021, respectively.

Spirits

Cost of sales increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to bulk sales partially offset by lower Azuñia Tequila sales volume and product mix. Cost of sales decreased for the costs associated with ourthree months ended September 30, 2022 due to lower Azuñia Tequila sales volume and product mix.

Craft C+P

Cost of sales increased liquor sales infor both the period as well as certain one-time adjustmentsthree and nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to increased costs related to the recent acquisitions. We believe that the cost of sales we reported in both 2017 and 2016 are not typical of our expected future results becauserelocation of the one-time costsbusiness and the product costs in both periods are based on smaller production lots, and do not reflect the economies of scale that we expect to achieve as we continue to scale our operations.new digital can printer ramp-up.

Gross Profit

Craft C+P’s gross margin decreased for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to lower sales of services for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, flat for the three months ended September 30; and a change in product and service mix, and higher raw material costs for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. In addition, Craft C+P launched its digital can printing business at the end of April 2022, which led to an increase in revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2022. However, since we have not achieved full capacity of the printer, the costs of the ramp-up offset much of the revenue.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses were $2.1 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and $0.7 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Net loss attributable to common shareholders during the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $1,411,461 as compared to a loss of $1,456,049 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The reduction in our net loss was primarily attributable to our higher gross profit, decreased general and administrative expenses and interest expense during 2017, which amounts were offset by higher advertising, promotional and selling expenses.

Deemed Dividend - Warrant Price Protection-Revaluation Adjustment

Deemed dividend - warrant price protection-revaluation adjustment was $2.3 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The following table compares our sales in the nine months ended September 30, 20172021 and 2016:

  Nine Months Ended September 30,

Total $2,608,373   100% $2,045,568   100%

The increase in sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 is primarily attributable to three factors: increased wholesale sales traction within the Pacific Northwest (which was offset by lower sales Nationally due to our Burnside product transition); the acquisitions of MotherLode and BBD, and the related expansion of our private label business; and the addition of three retail locations.

Excise taxes, customer programs and incentives for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased to $772,525, or approximately 42%, from $542,854 for the comparable 2016 period.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, cost of sales increased to $1,101,803, or approximately 23%, from $895,239 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase is primarily attributable to the costs associated with our increased liquor sales in the period as well as certain one-time adjustments related to the recent acquisitions. We believe the cost of sales we reported in both 2017 and 2016 are not typical of our expected future results because the product costs in both periods are based on smaller production lots, and do not reflect the economies of scale that we expect to achieve as we continue to scale our operations.

Gross profit is calculated by subtracting the cost of products sold from net sales. Cost of sales consists of the costs of ingredients utilized in the production of spirits, manufacturing labor and overhead, warehousing rent, packaging, and in-bound freight charges.

Management believestake other measures that could impair our ability to be successful.

We continue to make substantial investments in Craft C+P, which we believe will deliver improved results during 2023, in part due to our acquisition of a state-of-the-art digital can printer that will add incremental services and revenue.

Our cash on hand and proceeds generated from the most recent equity financing, along with revenue that the Company expects to generate from operations, including as a result of its two recent acquisitions, will be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash needs for the foreseeable future.

The more judgmental estimates are summarized below. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Sales to two customers accounted for approximately 48% of consolidatedestimate fair value, including making assumptions about future cash flows, net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Sales to three customers accounted for approximately 57% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2016and discount rates.

Inventories

Inventories primarily consist of bulk and bottled liquor and merchandise and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using an average costing methodology, which approximates cost under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. A portion of inventory is held by the OLCC on consignment until it is sold to a third party. The Company regularly monitors inventory quantities on hand and records write-downs for excess and obsolete inventories based primarily on the Company’s estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements. Such write-downs establish a new cost basis of accounting for the related inventory. We have recorded no write-downs of inventory for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $1,499,751 and $951,293 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Excise Taxes

The Company is responsible for compliance with Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations, which includes making timely and accurate excise tax payments. The Company is subject to periodic compliance audits by the TTB. Individual states also impose excise taxes on alcohol beverages in varying amounts. The Company calculates its excise tax expense based upon units produced and on its understanding of the applicable excise tax laws. Excise taxes totaled $654,136 and $469,936 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes as compensation expense all stock-based awards issued to employees in accordance withoption, before quantifying the fair value, recognition provisions of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718,Compensation - Stock Compensation. The compensation costto evaluate qualitative factors to assess whether it is measured based onmore likely than not that our brand is impaired. If we determine that is not the grant-date fair value of the related stock-based awards and is recognized over the service period of stock-based awards, which is generally the same as the vesting period. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which estimatescase, then we are not required to quantify the fair valuevalue. That assessment also takes considerable management judgment.

Based on our assumptions, we believe that, as of each award on the date of grant based on a variety of assumptions including expected stock price volatility, expected terms of the awards, risk-free interest rate, and dividend rates, if applicable. Stock-based awards issued to nonemployees are recorded at fair value on the measurement date and are subject to periodic market adjustments as the underlying stock-based awards vest. Stock-based compensation was $900,130 and $427,947 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.2022, the Azuñia brand was not impaired.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Boards (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09,Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We have adopted ASU 2016-09 as of March 31, 2017.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date:

A lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and
A right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term.

Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new lease guidance simplified the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions primarily because lessees must recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e., January 1, 2019, for a calendar year entity). Early application is permitted for all public business entities upon issuance. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”).ASU 2014-09 will supersede virtually all existing revenue guidance. Under this update, an entity is required to recognize revenue upon transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. As such, an entity will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. ASU 2014-09 is to be applied retrospectively either to each prior reporting period presented in the financial statements, or only to the most current reporting period presented in the financial statements with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. The Company will elect to apply the impact (if any) of applying ASU 2014-09 to the most current reporting period presented in the financial statements with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. ASU 2015-14 deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for one year, making it effective for the year beginning December 31, 2017, with early adoption permitted as of January 1, 2017. The Company currently expects to adopt ASU 2014-09 in the first quarter of 2018. The Company does not expect adoption of ASU 2014-09 to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15,Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”).The new guidance explicitly requires that management assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and may require additional detailed disclosures. ASU 2014-15 was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. We adopted ASU 2014-15 as of December 31, 2016. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2014-15 had any material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11,Inventory (Topic 330), Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (“ASU 2015-11”).ASU 2015-11 is part of the FASB’s initiative to simplify accounting standards. The guidance requires an entity to recognize inventory within scope of the standard at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonable predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. ASU 2015-11 was effective prospectively for the year beginning January 1, 2017. We have adopted ASU 2015-11 as of March 31, 2017. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2015-11 had any material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, simplifying the presentation of debt issuance costs, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. ASU 2015-03 was effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early application was permitted. We early adopted ASU 2015-03 as of December 31, 2015. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2015-03 had any material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
