Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

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 49 people in 2008. Our productsthe United States.

The Company operates a beverage packaging and services business that operates in the beverage segment. During 2022, the Company made substantial investments to expand its product offerings to include digital can printing in the Pacific Northwest (together Craft Canning + Printing, “Craft C+P”). Craft C+P operates 13 mobile filling lines in Seattle, Washington; Spokane, Washington; and Portland, Oregon. The Company also offers co-packing services in Portland, Oregon offering end-to-end production capabilities.

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 Oregon to market our brands directly to consumers. Our growth strategy is to build on our local baseopen states and through brokers in control states.

2. Liquidity

The Company’s primary capital requirements are for cash used in operating activities and the Pacific Northwest and expand selectively to other markets by using major spirits distributors, such as Southern Glazer Wines 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. In addition, through MotherLode Craft Distillery (“MotherLode”), our wholly-owned subsidiary acquired in March 2017, we also provide contract bottling and packaging services for existing and emerging spirits producers, some of whom contract with us to blend or distill spirits. MotherLode has also launched a new canning line of Ready-to-Drink (RTD) products, primarily designeddebt. Funds for the wine and pre-mixed alcoholic drink industry. 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.

We currently sell our products in 25 states (Oregon, California, Washington, Florida, New York, Illinois, Texas, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Alaska, Connecticut, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming) as well as Washington D.C. and Ontario, Canada. The Company also generates revenue from tastings, tasting room tours, private parties, and merchandise sales from its facilities in Oregon. The Company is subject to the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) and the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB).

2.Liquidity

Historically, the Company has funded itsCompany’s cash and liquidity needs through the issuance ofhave historically not been generated from operations but rather from loans as well as from convertible notes, extended credit termsdebt and the sale of equity.

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.

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$55,852 and $72,918$0.1 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172023 and 2016,2022, respectively.

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.

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.

Eastside Distilling, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

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.

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 $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

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 June 30, 2023, two distributors represented 27% of trade receivables. As of December 31, 2022, one distributor represented 15% of trade receivables. Sales to one distributor and $427,947one wholesale customer accounted for 27% of consolidated sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Accounts Receivable Factoring Program

During the threesix months ended June 30, 2017, we terminated our previous2023. Sales to one distributor and one wholesale customer accounted for 49% of consolidated sales for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

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 cash or 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 as of June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022. 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, notes payable, and the secured credit facilities. 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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 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 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 June 30, 2023 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. 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.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company undertook restructuring actions to reduce volumes in unprofitable market segments and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new lease guidance simplified the accounting for saleincrementally restricting actions to lower production costs 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 beginningimprove profitability.

5. Inventories

Inventories consisted 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.following:

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 transferSchedule 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.Inventories

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 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.

10. Leases

The Company has various lease agreements in place for facilities, equipment and vehicles. Terms of these leases include, in some instances, scheduled rent increases, renewals, purchase options and maintenance costs, and vary by lease. These lease obligations expire at various dates through 2027. The Company determines if an arrangement is a cumulative net operating loss carryforward (NOL) of approximately $12.2 million, to offset against future income for federal and state tax purposes. These federal and state NOLs can be carried forward for 20 and 15 years, respectively. The federal NOLs begin to expirelease at inception. As the rate implicit in 2034, and the state NOLs begin to expire in 2029. The utilization of the NOL carryforwards may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to ownership change provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions. In general, ifeach lease is not readily determinable, the Company experiences a greater than 50 percentage aggregate change in ownership of certain significant stockholders over a three-year period (a “Section 382 ownership change”), utilization ofuses its pre-change NOL carryforwards are subjectincremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement to an annual limitation under Section 382 ofdetermine the Internal Revenue Code (and similar state laws). The annual limitation generally is determined by multiplying thepresent value of the Company’s stocklease payments. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the timepresent value of such ownership change (subject to certain adjustments) by the applicable long-term tax-exempt rate. Such limitations may result in expiration of a portion of the NOL carryforwards before utilization and may be substantial.

In assessing the realizable of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Due to the uncertainty of the realizability of the deferred tax assets, management has determined a full valuation allowance is appropriate.

10.Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

The Company leases its warehouse, kiosks and tasting room space under operating lease agreements, which expire through October 2021. Monthly lease payments range from $1,802 to $6,400 over the termslease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (“short-term leases”) are not recorded on the leases.

The Company used the proceeds to repay prior outstanding notes payable and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Interest on the Notes accrues at a rate of 6% per annum and is payable either in cash or in shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion price in the Note on each of the six and twelve month anniversaries of the issuance date and on the maturity date of October 18, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had accrued $0.2 million of interest expense.

All amounts due under the Notes are convertible at any time after the issuance date, in whole or in part (subject to rounding for fractional shares), at the option of the holders into the Company’s common stock at a fixed conversion price, which is subject to adjustment as summarized below. The Notes were initially convertible into the Company’s common stock at an initial fixed conversion price of $44.00 per share. This conversion price is subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations, or similar events, among other adjustments. On April 1, 2022, the Company and the holders agreed to a reduction of the conversion price of the 6% secured convertible promissory notes to $26.00 per share in connection with the Company’s issuance of a common stock purchase warrant to TQLA covering its loan amount of $3.5 million with a common stock value of $24.00 per share.

The Notes contain customary triggering events including but not limited to: (i) failure to make payments when due under the Notes; and (ii) bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company. If a triggering event occurs, each holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Notes (including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon), in cash.

The Notes are secured by a subordinated security interest in the Company’s assets pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement entered into between the Company and the Subscribers.

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 4,808 shares of its common stock to each of the Subscribers. The Company is in discussions to further extend the maturity date.

The Company is not currently subject to any other material legal proceedings,proceedings; however, weit could be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time in the ordinary course of our business.its business, or legal proceedings it considered immaterial may in the future become material. 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, 2017.14.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding at Septemberas of June 30, 20172023 was $25,095.$0. As of June 30, 2023, all options vested.

At September 30, 2017, there were 250,334 unvested options with an aggregate grant date fair value of $745,883. The unvested options will vest in accordance with the vesting schedule in each respective option agreement, which varies between immediate and five (5) years from the grant date. The aggregate intrinsic value of unvested options at September 30, 2017 was $23,003. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, 87,499 options became vested.

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.

Third quarter gross sales increased 12% over the prior year, and gross sales 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 MotherLode and BBD, and the expansion of our private label business; and 3) the addition of two new retail locations.

The Oregon market continues to experience strong year-over-year growth. During the first nine monthshalf of this year, Oregon2023, we grew sales expanded 52%at Craft C+P and represented approximately 73%printed over 6.5 million cans. Digital printing represents the majority of overallour revenue as our customer base and excitement grows. Mobile canning sales continue to decrease as we focus on our digital printing opportunity. We have undertaken a complete restructuring of our spirits business decreasing overhead costs and unproductive sales activities.

We have supplemented cash flow with bulk spirit sales, as we have in other quarters. The decline in sales was partially offset by direct sales of 250 barrels for $0.6 million during the first quarter of 2023. There were no bulk sales in the second quarter of 2023 compared to 2016 where Oregon represented approximately 61%$2.6 million in the second quarter of sales. We achieved this success in Oregon despite softer Burnside Bourbon sales due2022.

At the beginning of 2023, we started a restructuring plan to that specific product’s planned transition. National distribution sales declined year-over-year, which also waslower costs and prepare the brands for reinvestment. While a resultsubstantial amount of our planned transitionraw materials, such as our whiskey, is owned and not susceptible to our new Burnside Bourbon packaging (and our concurrent phasing outprice inflation, the inflated prices of our prior brands). With our planned introductionshipping and other materials, such as glass, are expected to continue through 2023.

Results 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.Operations

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.Overview

Resale Registration Statement

On October 26, 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) declared effective a Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-1 on Form S-3 (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) that the Company filed with the SEC on October 19, 2017 to register the resale of up to 2,462,436 shares of common stock held by certain selling stockholders, which includes shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants to purchase common stock held by certain selling stockholders (the “Selling Stockholder Warrants”). The selling stockholders will receive all of the proceeds from the sale 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.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon its condensedour consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S.United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These items are monitored and analyzed by management for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the 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. Actual results may differ from the Company’sour estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate.

Revenue RecognitionIn connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2023, there was one accounting estimate we made that was subject to a high degree of uncertainty and was critical to our results, as follows:

NetIntangible Assets

On September 12, 2019, we purchased the Azuñia brand, the direct sales includesteam, existing product sales, less excise taxes, customer programsinventory, supply chain relationships and incentives. we record revenue when all fourcontractual agreements from Intersect Beverage, LLC, an importer and distributor of tequila and related products. The Azuñia brand has been determined to have an indefinite life and will not be amortized. We do, however, on an annual basis, test the indefinite life assets for impairment. If the carrying value of the following criteriaindefinite life assets are met: (i) there is persuasive evidence thatfound to be impaired, then we will record an arrangement exists; (ii) deliveryimpairment loss and reduce the carrying value of the products and/or services has occurred; (iii)asset’s estimate the selling price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

We recognize 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 shipmentuseful life of the related merchandise. Shipping terms are generally FOB shipping point,brand and title passesamortize the asset over the remainder of its useful life.

We estimate the brand’s fair value using market information to the customer at the timeestimate future cash flows and place of shipment or purchase by customers at a retail location. For consignment sales, title passeswill impair it when its carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value, in which case we will write it down to the consignee concurrent with the consignee’s shipmentits estimated fair value. We consider market values for similar assets when available. Considerable management judgment is necessary to the customer. The customer has no cancellation privileges after shipment or upon purchase at retail locations, other than customary rights of return. We exclude sales tax collected and remitted to various states fromestimate fair value, including making assumptions about future cash flows, net sales and cost of sales. Sales from items sold through the Company’s retail location are recognized at the time of sale.discount rates.

26

Sales received from online merchants who sell discounted gift certificates for our merchandise and tastings is deferred until the customer has redeemed the discounted gift certificate or the gift certificate has expired, whichever occurs earlier.

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 alcohol beverage industry. The Company makes these payments to customers and incurs these costs 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 revenue or as advertising, promotional and selling expenses in accordance with ASC Topic 605-50,Revenue Recognition- Customer Payments and Incentives, based on the nature of the expenditure. Amounts paid to customers totaled $118,389 and $72,918 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Shipping and Fulfillment Costs

Freight costs incurred related to shipment of merchandise from our distribution facilities to customers are recorded in cost of sales.

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. Sales to three customers accounted for approximately 57% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2016

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 provisionsto evaluate qualitative factors to assess whether it is more likely than not that our brand is impaired. If we determine that is not the case, then we are not required to quantify the fair value. That assessment also takes considerable management judgment.

As of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718,Compensation - Stock Compensation. The compensation cost is measured based on the grant-date fair valueDecember 31, 2022, as a result of the related stock-based awardsreview described above, we found the Azuñia brand to be impaired 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 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.reduced its carrying cost by $7.5 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

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.
