Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Splash Beverage Group and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Holdings, Copa di Vino, Inc.(‘CdV”) and Splash Mex,Mexico., CMS (asis reflected as discontinued operations), and Copa.operations. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Our investment in Salt Tequila USA, LLC is accounted for at cost, as the company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence.

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Use of Estimates

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

Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Cash Balance

We consider all highly liquid securities with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We had 0cash equivalents at September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2020.2021.

Our cash in bank deposit accounts,amounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits of $250,000.$250,000. At September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 we had $7,403,4817,632,587 overin excess of the federally insured limits. Our bank deposit amounts in Mexico $2,169 are uninsured.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectiblerecoverable amounts and are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with clients and other factors. We establish provisions for losses on accounts receivable on the basis of loss experience, known and inherent risk in the account balance, and current economic conditions. At September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, our accounts receivable amounts are reflected net of allowances of $26,57813,949 and $045,203, respectively.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial StatementsInventory

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, accounted for using the weighted average cost method. The inventory balances at September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 20202021 consisted of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods held for distribution. The cost elements of inventory consist of purchase of products, transportation, and warehousing. We establish provisions for excess or inventory near expiration are based on management’s estimates of forecast turnover of inventories on hand and under contract. A significant change in the timing or level of demand for certain products as compared to forecast amounts may result in recording additional provisions for excess or expired inventory in the future. Provisions for excess inventory are included in cost of goods sold and have historically been adequate to provide for losses on inventory. We manage inventory levels and purchase commitments in an effort to maximize utilization of inventory on hand and under commitments. The amount of our reserve was $351,285253,703 and $366,109223,223 at September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively.

Property and Equipment

We record property and equipment at cost when purchased. Depreciation is recorded for property, equipment, and software using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of assets, which range from 3-39years. Company management reviews the recoverability of all long-lived assets, including the related useful lives, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset might not be recoverable.

Depreciation expense totaled $44,46530,695 and $10,75043,487 for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, and September 30, 2020, respectively. Depreciation expense totaled $80,048 and $13,045 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. Property and equipment as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 consisted of the following:

Excise taxes

The Company pays alcohol excise taxes based on product sales to both the Oregon Liquor Control Commission and to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB). The company also pays taxes to the State of Florida – Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco. The Company is liable for the taxes upon the removal of product from the Company’s warehouse on a per gallon basis. The federal tax rate is affected by a small winery tax credit provision which decreases based upon the number of gallons of wine production in a year rather than the quantity sold.

 

Paycheck Protection Program

The Company records Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan proceeds in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470, Debt.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial Accounting Standards (“FASB”) guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 -Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded instruments and listed equities.

Level 2 -Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (e.g., quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active).

Level 3 -Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

The liabilities and indebtedness presented on the condensed consolidated financial statements approximate fair values at September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, consistent with recent negotiations of notes payable and due to the short duration of maturities.maturities and market rates of interest.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance sets forth a five-step model which depicts the recognition of revenue in an amount that reflects what we expect to receive in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to customers.

We recognize revenue when our performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. Product sales occur once control of our products is transferred upon delivery to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods and is presented net of provisions for customer returns and allowances. The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize varies with changes in customer incentives we offer to our customers and their customers. Sales taxes and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.

Distribution expenses to transport our finished goods products, where applicable, and warehousing expense after manufacture are accounted for within operating expenses. Distribution expense is capitalized as part of inventory as the materials are received by our distillery, co-packer or internal/external warehouse.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold include the costs of products, packaging, transportation, warehousing, and costs associated with valuation allowances for expired, damaged or impaired inventory.

We measure stock-based awards at the grant-date fair value for employees, directors and consultants and recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the fair value of our common stock, and for stock options and warrants, the expected life of the option and warrant, and expected stock price volatility and exercise price. We used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock-based awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards. The expected life of stock options/warrants were estimated using the “simplified method,” which calculates the expected term as the midpoint between the weighted average time to vesting and the contractual maturity, we have limited historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns. The simplified method is based on the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant. For stock price volatility, we use comparable public companies as a basis for its expected volatility to calculate the fair value of award. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury notes with a term approximating the expected life of the award. The estimation of the number of awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company’s current estimates, such amounts are recognized as an adjustment in the period in which estimates are revised.

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation”. Under the fair value recognition provisions, cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period, which is generally the optionaward’s vesting period. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options.stock-based awards. We early adopted ASU 2018-07, “Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which aligns accounting treatment for such awards to non-employees with the existing guidance on employee share-based compensation in ASC 718.

 

Income Taxes

We use the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, "Income Taxes”. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. We record a valuation allowance when it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

Company management assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon its evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. In accordance with ASC 740-10, for those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, our policy is to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.

For those income tax positions where there is less than 50%50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the financial statements. Company management has determined that there are 0no material uncertain tax positions at September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020.2021.

Net income (loss) per share

The net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common outstanding. Warrants, stock options, and common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company’s convertible debt or preferred stock (if any), are not included in the computation if the effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

Weighted average number of shares outstanding for awards granted from 2021 to 2022 excludes anti-dilutive common stock equivalents, including warrants to purchase 3million shares of common stock for nominal consideration. The weighted average number of common shares calculation excludes 11,163,834 warrants which have been granted by our Board but have not been exercised.

 

Advertising

We conduct advertising for the promotion of our products. In accordance with ASC 720-35, advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. We recorded advertising expense of $249,83187,590 and $23,9621,987 for the three-months ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Goodwill and 2020, respectively. We recorded advertising expense of $465,608Intangibles Assets and $46,768 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the net assets acquired and is not subject to amortization. The Company reviews goodwill annually in the fourth quarter for impairment or when circumstances indicate carrying value may exceed the fair value. This evaluation is performed at the reporting unit level. If a qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than carrying value, a quantitative analysis is completed using either the income or market approach, or a combination of both. The income approach estimates fair value based on expected discounted future cash flows, while the market approach uses comparable public companies and transactions to develop metrics to be applied to historical and expected future operating results. At December 31, 2020, our management determined that an impairment charge

Long-lived assets

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment on an annual basis, when relocating or closing a facility, or when events or changes in circumstances may indicate the carrying amount of the asset group, generally an individual warehouse, may not be fully recoverable. For asset groups held and used, including warehouses to be relocated, the carrying value of the asset group is considered recoverable when the estimated future undiscounted cash flows generated from the use and eventual disposition of the asset group exceed the respective carrying value. In the event that the carrying value is not considered recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the asset group to be held and used equal to the excess of the carrying value above the estimated fair value of the asset group. For asset groups classified as held-for-sale (disposal group), the carrying value is compared to the disposal group’s fair value less costs to sell. The Company estimates fair value by obtaining market appraisals from third party brokers or using other valuation techniques.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Note 3 – Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern Considerations

At December 31, 2020, the Company had liabilities in excess of assets in the amount of approximately $9.4 million. During the nine-month period of 2021, the Company received approximately $19.6 million from the proceeds from the issuance common stock. These events served to mitigate the conditions that historically raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Based on this analysis the Company concluded it has the ability to continue as a going concern for at least the next 12 months.

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond the point of origin. On March 20, 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.

In response to the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States, the CARES Act (the “Act”) was passed by Congress and signed into law on March 27, 2020. In connection with the CARES Act, the Company and its subsidiary applied for and received loans with an original aggregate principal balance of approximately $158,000. These loans and interest will be forgiven as long as the funds are used for qualifying expenditures as outlined in the Act. The loans bear interest at 1%, with an 18-month term and has a 6-month initial payment deferral. See Note 4.

In April 2021, we received notification of forgiveness for the entire outstanding balance.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not required for Smaller Reporting Companies.


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission Act of 1934 reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As further discussed below, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, because of certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act were not effective as of September 30, 2021. The material weaknesses relate to the absence of in-house accounting personnel with the ability to properly account for complex transactions and a lack of separation of duties between accounting and other functions.March 31, 2022.

22 

 

We hired a consulting firmconsultant to advise us on technical issues related to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles as related to the maintenance of our accounting books and records and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Although we are aware of the risks associated with not having dedicated accounting personnel, we are also at an early stage in the development of our business. We anticipate expanding our accounting functions with dedicated staff and improving our internal accounting procedures and separation of duties when we can absorb the costs of such expansion and improvement with additional capital resources. In the meantime, management will continue to observe and assess our internal accounting function and make necessary improvements whenever they may be required. If our remedial measures are insufficient to address the material weakness, or if additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting are discovered or occur in the future, our consolidated financial statements may contain material misstatements, and we could be required to restate our financial results. In addition, if we are unable to successfully remediate this material weakness and if we are unable to produce accurate and timely financial statements, our stock price may be adversely affected and we may be unable to maintain compliance with applicable stock exchange listing requirements.

(b)Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting identifiedis a process designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in connectionaccordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the evaluation required by paragraph (d)policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of Rules 13a-15deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or 15d-15 underinterim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Our management assessed the Securities Exchange Acteffectiveness of 1934 that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,the Company’s internal control over financial reporting at March 31, 2022, and this assessment identified some deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Remediation plan

The company has established two procedures to begin addressing the controls area. Each quarter Senior Managers respond to a questionnaire to identify areas that would impact the company’s financial statements to be reviewed against the reported financial statements. Also, quarterly financial packages are collected and reviewed with each subsidiary to analyze and ensure completeness of their financial statements.

The remediation plan includes:

●              Walk through and document critical process.

●              Review resources and organizational structure to address segregation of duty issues and support the jobs assigned.

●              Implement a BI tool that will replace Excel worksheets that can be prone to errors.
