We establishThe Company establishes 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 March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, our accounts receivable amounts are reflected net of allowances of $13,94913,797 and $45,20313,683, respectively.

The inventory balances at March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 20212022 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. WeThe Company 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 manageThe Company manages inventory levels and purchase commitments in an effort to maximize utilization of inventory on hand and under commitments. The amount of our reserve was $253,703 0and $223,223 66,146at March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively.

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 March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, consistent with recent negotiations of notes payable and due to the short duration of maturities and market rates of interest.

Revenue Recognition
We recognizeThe Company recognizes 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 expectthe Company expects to receive in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to customers.
We recognize
The Company recognizes revenue when ourthe Company’s performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. Product sales occur for the Splash Beverage and E-commerce businesses once control of ourthe Company’s products isare transferred upon delivery to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration that we expectthe Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods, and revenue is presented net of provisions for customer returns and allowances. The amount of consideration we receivethe Company receives and revenue we recognizethe Company recognizes varies with changes in customer incentives we offeroffered to ourthe Company’s customers and their customers. Sales taxes and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.
Distribution expenses to transport our
Shipping and Handling—The Company includes costs associated with the outbound shipping and handling of finished goods products, where applicable,as a component of other general and warehousing expenseadministrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Shipping and handling are accounted for within operating expenses. Distribution expense is capitalizednot separately billed to the customers and are included in fees charged to the customer and are recorded as part of inventory as the materials are received by our distillery, co-packer or internal/external warehouse.revenue when earned.
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. In the three months ending March 31, 2022 the Company reclassified $459,260 from cost of goods sold to other general and administrative cost in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss, $126,437 of shipping and handling and $332,823 of Amazon selling fees.
Other General and Administrative Expenses
Other General and Administrative expenses includes Amazon selling fees, royalty cost for selling TapouT, cost associated with the outbound shipping and handling of finished goods, insurance cost, consulting cost, legal and audit fees, Investor Relations expenses, travel & entertainment expenses, occupancy cost and other cost.
Shipping and Handling
Stock-Based CompensationThe Company incurred $1,374,328
and $803,318 of shipping and handling costs for the three months ending March 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively. These amounts, which primarily relate to shipping, are recorded in other general and administrative expenses.
We account
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts 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 award’s vesting period. We useThe Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock-based awards. WeThe Company 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 useThe Company uses 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 recordThe Company records 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% 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 no material uncertain tax positions at March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 2021.2022.
The Company’s federal, state and local income tax returns prior to fiscal year 2019 are closed and management continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties associated with tax matters, if any, as part of operating expenses and includes accrued interest and penalties with accrued expenses in the condensed interim balance sheets.

The net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock 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 million shares of common stock for nominal consideration.
Advertising
Advertising
We conductThe Company conducts advertising for the promotion of ourits products. In accordance with ASC 720-35, advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. WeThe Company recorded advertising expense of $87,590 195,048and $1,987 87,590for the three-monthsthree months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, and 2021, respectively.
Goodwill and Intangibles Assets
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.
Intangible assets consist of customer lists, brands and license agreements acquired in the acquisition of CdV.Copa Di Vino. The Company amortizes intangible assets with finite lives on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 15 years.

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.
Segment reporting
The Company discloses a measurement of segment profit or loss that its chief operating decision maker (CODM) uses to assess segment performance and to make decisions about resource allocations for each reportable segment.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires the immediate recognition of management’s estimates of current and expected credit losses. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
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, wethe Company will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.
Foreign Currency Gains/Losses
Foreign Currency Gains/Losses — foreign subsidiaries’ functional currency is the local currency of operations and the net assets of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. Gains or losses from these translation adjustments are included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and other comprehensive loss as foreign currency translation gains or losses. Translation gains and losses that arise from the translation of net assets from functional currency to the reporting currency, as well as exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances, are included in foreign currency translation in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company incurred foreign currency translation net loss of $1,609 and $0 for the three months ending March 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively.
ReclassificationsLiquidity and Going Concern Considerations
Certain prior period amountsThese condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassifiedprepared assuming the Company will be able to conformcontinue as a going concern. The Company historically has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operation since inception and had net-loss of approximately $3.7 million for three-month period ended March 31, 2023 and accumulated deficit of approximately $116.1 million through March 31, 2023. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, the Company’s net cash used in operating activities totaled approximately $4.1 million.
If sales volumes do not meet the Company’s projections, expenses exceed the Company’s expectations, or the Company’s plans change, the Company may be unable to generate enough cash flow from operations to cover our working capital requirements. In such case, the Company may be required to adjust its business plan, by reducing marketing, lower its working capital requirements and reduce other expenses or seek additional financing.
In order to have sufficient cash to fund our operations, the Company will need to raise additional equity or debt capital. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available when needed from any source or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. The Company will be required to pursue sources of additional capital through various means, including debt or equity financings. Future financings through equity investments are likely to be dilutive to existing stockholders. Also, the terms of securities the Company may issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable for new investors. Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, and the issuances of incentive awards under equity employee incentive plans, which may have additional dilutive effects. Further, the Company may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. The Company may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities the current year presentation.Company may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which will adversely impact our financial condition. Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets and our history of losses, which could impact the availability or cost of future financings. If the amount of capital the Company is able to raise from financing activities together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, even to the extent that the Company reduce our operations accordingly, the Company may be required to curtail or cease operations. As a result, there is uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate its business effectively, which raises substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months from the date of the consolidated financial statements being available to be issued.

21 The Company has a Securities Purchase Agreement approved by the Board to raise up to $8.0 million to fund acquisitions, equipment purchases and working capital.
In order to have sufficient cash to fund our operations, the Company will need to raise additional equity or debt capital. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available when needed from any source or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. The Company will be required to pursue sources of additional capital through various means, including debt or equity financings. Future financings through equity investments are likely to be dilutive to existing stockholders. Also, the terms of securities the Company may issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable for new investors. Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, and the issuances of incentive awards under equity employee incentive plans, which may have additional dilutive effects. Further, the Company may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. The Company may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities the Company may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which will adversely impact our financial condition. Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets and our history of losses, which could impact the availability or cost of future financings. If the amount of capital the Company are able to raise from financing activities together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, even to the extent that the Company reduce our operations accordingly, the Company may be required to curtail or cease operations. As a result, there is uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate its business effectively, which raises substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months from the date of the consolidated financial statements being available to be issued.

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.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is 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 accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

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 policies or procedures may deteriorate.
