NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY
NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 6 Months Ended |
Sep. 30, 2020 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Text Block] | NOTE 1 -NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Business The Company offers retail consumers bottled alkaline water in 500-milliliter, 700-milliliter, 1-liter, 1.5 -liter, 3-liter and 1-gallon sizes, all of which is produced through an electrolysis process that uses specialized electronic cells coated with a variety of rare earth minerals to produce 8.8 pH drinking water without the use of any manmade chemicals. In addition to its bottled alkaline water, the Company also offers retail consumers flavor infused bottled water in the 500-milliliter size in seven flavors: Raspberry, Watermelon, Lemon, Lemon Lime, Peach Mango, Blood Orange, and Cucumber Mint. The Company recently introduced and began selling hemp-derived CBD topical and ingestible products under the brand name “A88CBD™”. Our hemp-derived CBD products are produced and sold in compliance with the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (also known as the 2018 Farm Bill, Public Law 115-334). Basis of presentation These unaudited financial statements represent the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as set forth in the Company's Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on August 13, 2020, which included all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position on a consolidated basis and the consolidated results of operations, equity and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are not necessarily indicative of expected operating results for the full year. The information presented throughout the document as of and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 is unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. for complete financial statements. Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (a Nevada Corporation) and its four wholly owned subsidiaries: A88 Infused Beverage Division Inc. (a Nevada Corporation), A88 International, Inc. (a Nevada Corporation), A88 Infused Products Inc. (a Nevada Corporation), and Alkaline 88, LLC (an Arizona Limited Liability Company). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Alkaline Water Company Inc., A88 Infused Beverage Division, Inc., A88 Infused Products Inc., A88 International, Inc., AWC Acquisition Company Inc., and Alkaline 88, LLC will be collectively referred herein to as the "Company". Any reference herein to "The Alkaline Water Company Inc.", the "Company", "we", "our" or "us" is intended to mean The Alkaline Water Company Inc., including the subsidiaries indicated above, unless otherwise indicated. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 significantly from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be considered cash equivalents. The carrying value of these investments approximates fair value. As of the balance sheet date and periodically throughout the period, the Company has maintained balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits. The Company had $3,976,877 and $4,561,682 in cash at September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company generally does not require collateral, and the majority of its trade receivables are unsecured. The carrying amount for accounts receivable approximates fair value. Accounts receivable consisted of the following as of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020: September 30, 2020 (unaudited) March 31, 2020 Trade receivables, net $ 5,817,018 $ 4,957,081 Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts (40,000 ) (40,000 ) Net accounts receivable $ 5,777,018 $ 4,917,081 Accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with clients. Provisions for losses on accounts receivable are determined on the basis of loss experience, known and inherent risk in the account balance and current economic conditions. The accounts receivable balance is pledged as collateral for the Company's revolving financing as disclosed in Note 3. Inventory Inventory represents raw materials and finished goods valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined using the weight average method which approximates first-in first-out method, and with market defined as the lower of replacement cost or realizable value. The inventory balance is pledged as collateral for the Company's revolving financing as disclosed in Note 3. As of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, inventory consisted of the following: September 30, 2020 March 31, 2020 (unaudited) Raw materials $ 1,808,860 $ 1,788,868 Finished goods 2,440,721 1,130,992 Total inventory $ 4,249,581 $ 2,919,860 Property and Equipment The Company records all property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. Improvements are capitalized while repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line (half-life convention) method over the estimated useful life of the assets, which the Company has determined to be 3 years. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 718. Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based payments using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for common stock options and warrants and the closing price of the Company's common stock for common share issuances. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue per ASC 606. The Company recognizes revenue when the Company's performance obligations are satisfied. The Company's primary obligation (the distribution and sale of beverage products) is satisfied upon the delivery of products to the Company's customers, which is also when control is transferred. The Company does not accept returns due to the nature of the product. However, the Company will provide credit to our customers for damaged goods. The Company provides credit to its customers which typically require payment within 30 days. As an incentive to pay early the Company also typically provides a 2% discount if the customer pays within 10 days. The Company estimates the amount of the discount that the customer is likely to take and recognizes it as variable consideration. The amounts are not considered material. After evaluating the revenue disclosure requirements the Company does not believe that any revenues are required to be disaggregated. Revenue consists of the gross sales price, less variable consideration, consisting of estimated allowances for which provisions are made at the time of sale, and less certain other discounts, allowances, and rebates that are accounted for as a reduction from gross revenue. Shipping and handling charges that are billed to customers are included as a component of revenue. Costs incurred by the Company for shipping and handling charges are included in selling expenses and amounted to $1,670,523 and $1,496,708 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively and $3,477,554 and $2,928,163 for the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Concentration Risks We have 2 major customers that together account for 27% (15% and 12%, respectively) of accounts receivable at September 30, 2020, 1 customer that accounts for 25% of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2 customers that accounts for 40% (22% and 18%, respectively) of the total revenues earned for the six months ended September 30, 2020. The Company has 3 vendors that accounts for 58% (25%, 21% and 12% respectively) of purchases for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 3 vendors that accounted for 55% (24%, 19% and 12% respectively) of purchases for the six months ended September 30, 2020. We had 2 major customers that together accounted for 41% (23% and 18%, respectively) of accounts receivable at September 30, 2019, and 2 customers that together accounted for 41% (24% and 17%, respectively) of the total revenues earned for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2019. The Company had 2 vendors that accounted for 43% (24% and 19% respectively) of purchases for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 3 vendors that accounted for 54% (23%, 20% and 11% respectively) of purchases for the six months ended September 30, 2019. Income Taxes The Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate method in computing its interim tax provision. This effective tax rate is based on forecasted annual pre-tax income (loss), permanent tax differences and statutory tax rates. Deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The differences relate principally to net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequence for those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share Basic and diluted earnings or loss per share ("EPS") amounts in the consolidated financial statements are computed in accordance ASC 260- 10 "Earnings per Share", which establishes the requirements for presenting EPS. Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share, because their effect would be anti-dilutive. The Company had 1,951,490 and 493,144 shares relating to options, 1,734,443 and 422,821 shares relating to warrants and -0- and 3.8 million convertible preferred shares at September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively that were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because they were antidilutive. Business Segments The Company operates on one segment in one geographic location - the United States of America and; therefore, segment information is not presented. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments including accounts payable, accrued expenses, and notes payable approximate fair value due to the relative short period for maturity of these instruments. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. Authoritative guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the company's assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on reliability of the inputs as follows: Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not have any financial instruments that are measured on a recurring basis as Level 1, 2 or 3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Standards Required to be Adopted in Future Years. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The Company has evaluated other recent accounting pronouncements through September 30, 2020 and believes that none of them will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. |

Receivables [Abstract] | |
REVOLVING FINANCING [Text Block] | NOTE 3 - REVOLVING FINANCING On February 1, 2017, the Company entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with CNH Finance Fund I, L.P. (fka SCM Specialty Finance Opportunities Fund, L.P.) (the "Lender") which has been amended from time to time the last of which was March 2020. The Credit Agreement provides the Company with a revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility"), the proceeds of which are to be used to repay existing indebtedness of the Company, transaction fees incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement and for working capital needs of the Company. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Lender has agreed to make cash advances to the Company in an aggregate principal at any one time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of (i) $7 million (the "Revolving Loan Commitment Amount") and (ii) the Borrowing Base (defined to mean, as of any date of determination, 85% of net eligible billed receivables plus 65% of eligible unbilled receivables, minus certain reserves, and is subject to certain customer specific requirements). The Credit Agreement expires on July 1, 2022, unless earlier terminated by the parties in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The principal amount of the Revolving Facility outstanding bears interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) a fluctuating interest rate per annum equal at all times to the rate of interest announced, from time to time, within Wells Fargo Bank at its principal office in San Francisco as its "prime rate," plus (ii) 3.25%, payable monthly in arrears. The interest rate as of September 30, 2020 was 7.0%. To secure the payment and performance of the obligations under the Credit Agreement, the Company granted to the Lender a continuing security interest in all of the Company's assets and agreed to a lockbox account arrangement in respect of certain eligible receivables. In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company paid to the Lender a $30,000 facility fee. The Company agreed to pay the Lender monthly an unused line fee in amount equal to 0.083% per month of the difference derived by subtracting (i) the average daily outstanding balance under the Revolving Facility during the preceding month, from (ii) the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount. The unused line fee will be payable monthly in arrears. The Company also agreed to pay the Lender as additional interest a monthly collateral management fee equal to 0.35% per month calculated on the basis of the average daily balance under the Revolving Facility outstanding during the preceding month. The collateral management fee will be payable monthly in arrears. Upon a termination of the Revolving Facility, the Company agreed to pay the Lender a termination fee in an amount equal to 1% of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount if the termination occurs before July 1, 2022. The Company must also pay certain fees in the event that receivables are not properly deposited in the appropriate lockbox account. The interest rate will be increased by 5% in the event of a default under the Credit Agreement. Events of default under the Credit Agreement, some of which are subject to certain cure periods, include a failure to pay obligations when due, the making of a material misrepresentation to the Lender, the rendering of certain judgments or decrees against the Company and the commencement of a proceeding for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator or filing of a petition seeking reorganization or liquidation or similar relief. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and various affirmative and negative covenants including the right of first refusal to provide financing for the Company and the financial and loan covenants, such as the loan turnover rate, minimum EBITDA, fixed charge coverage ratio and minimum liquidity requirements. The Company was in compliance with those covenants as of September 30, 2020. In March, 2020, the Lender agreed to provide the Company a $400,000 Temporary Over Advance ("TOA") under the Credit Facility Agreement. The TOA is to be repaid as follows: (i) the Company shall make five (5) weekly principal payments on the TOA 2 each in the amount of $20,000 commencing on May 18, 2020 and on the first Business Day of each calendar week thereafter through and including June 15, 2020, (ii) the Company shall make ten (10) weekly principal payments on the TOA, each in the amount of $30,000, commencing on June 22, 2020 and on the first Business Day of each calendar week thereafter through and including August 24, 2020 and (iii) repay the remaining principal balance on the TOA, if any, in full on or prior to August 24, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, the balance of the TOA was zero. In March, 2020, entered into a Guarantee Agreement (the "Guarantee") with the Lender in order for the Lender to agree to provide the Company the $400,000 TOA under the Credit Agreement. Under the Guarantee, Mr. Guarino personally, absolutely, and unconditionally, jointly and severally, guaranteed the prompt, complete and full payment of the Company's obligations to repay the TOA only, under the Credit Agreement, with the Lender. |

Common Shares On April 17, 2020, the Company completed a private placement of 9,750,000 units of our securities at a price of $0.40 per unit for gross proceeds of $3,900,000, of which $1,000,000 was received on March 18,2020 and thus on March 31, 2020, the Company had $1 million as stock payable. Each unit consisted of one share of our common stock and one share purchase warrant, with each share purchase warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional share of our common stock at a price of $0.50 per share for a period of three years. Of the 9,750,000 units the Company issued: (i) 1,250,000 units were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended provided by Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended to one investor who is an "accredited investor" within the respective meanings ascribed to that term in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; and (ii) 8,500,000 units were issued to 5 non-U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) in an offshore transaction relying on Regulation S and/or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In connection with this private placement, the Company agreed with each subscriber who purchased these units to prepare and file a registration statement with respect to (i) the shares of our common stock comprising these units and (ii) the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the share purchase warrants comprising these units with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 90 days following the closing of the private placement and agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as possible. The Company filed the foregoing registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC on May 27, 2020, and the registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on June 8, 2020.

Accordingly, gross proceeds of $1,999,998, previously held in escrow, have been released to our company. Each unit consists of one share of our common stock and one transferable share purchase warrant, for no additional consideration. Each warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one share of our common stock until May 11, 2023 at a price of $0.55 per share. In the event that our common stock has a closing price on the TSX Venture Exchange (or such other exchange on which our common stock may be traded at such time) of $1.75 or greater per share for a period of 20 consecutive trading days at any time from the closing date of the private placement, the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the warrants by giving notice to the holders thereof (by disseminating a news release advising of the acceleration of the expiry date of the warrants) and, in such case, the warrants will expire on the thirtieth day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of the private placement are expected to be used to fund our company's general working capital and expansion of production capacity.

Leases [Abstract] | |
LEASES [Text Block] | NOTE 7 - LEASES The Company adopted ASC 842 on April 1, 2019 which requires lessees to recognize right-of-use ("ROU") asset and lease liability for all leases. The Company elected the package of transition practical expedients for existing contracts, which allowed us to carry forward our historical assessments of whether contracts are or contain leases, lease classification and determination of initial direct costs. The Company leases property under operating leases. The Company leases its corporate office space with a size of 3,352 square feet leased from a third party through November, 2020 at the current rate of $7,891 per month. The Company extended its short-term lease for a warehouse, originally due to expire on March 31, 2020 to March 2021, thus the Company adopted ASC 842 for this lease at the time of the extension in January 2020. The lease rate for the extension was $ 3,938 per month starting April 1, 2020. As of July 1, 2020, the Company entered into a lease for 14,530 square feet of warehouse space from a third party through December 2021 at a rate of $7,992 per month for the first twelve months, then at a rate of $8,231 per month for the last six months of the lease. The Company determined this lease was an operating lease under ASC 842 and using an interest rate of 7%, the Company determined that the ROU for this lease was $130,989 and the lease liability for this lease was $138,266, at inception of this lease, respectively. At inception the ROU and Lease Liability was calculated based on the net present value of the future lease payments over the term of the lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease discount payments as the incremental borrowing rate to calculate the net present value; however, the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for our corporate office lease. In this case, the Company estimated its incremental borrowing rate as the interest rate it could borrow an amount equal to the lease payments over a similar term, with similar collateral as the lease, and in a similar economic environment. The Company estimated its rate using available evidence such as rates imposed by third-party lenders to the Company in recent financings or observable risk-free interest rate and credit spreads for commercial debt of a similar duration, with credit spreads correlating to the Company's estimated creditworthiness. For operating leases that include rent holidays and rent escalation clauses, the Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term from the date it takes possession of the leased property. The Company records the straight-line lease expense and any contingent rent, if applicable, in general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The corporate office, lease also requires the Company to pay real estate taxes, common area maintenance costs and other occupancy costs which are included in the general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Operating Lease expense for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 was $59,461 and $94,215, respectively. Operating lease expense for the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 was $21,681 and $43,753, respectively.

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract] | |
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES [Text Block] | NOTE 8 – RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES In December 2019, a novel strain of COVID-19 was reported in China. Since then, the COVID-19 has spread globally including across North America and the United States. The spread of COVID-19 from China to other countries has resulted in the World Health Organization (WHO) declaring the outbreak of COVID-19 as a “pandemic,” or a worldwide spread of a new disease, on March 11, 2020. Specifically, the Company cautions that our business could be materially and adversely affected by the risks, or the public perception of the risks, related to the outbreak of COVID-19. To date, the Company has managed to operate successfully throughout the pandemic without any material disruptions to our supply chain. Although retailers which carry our products may be considered essential businesses and therefore be allowed to remain operational, they may experience significantly reduced demand. The risk of a pandemic, or public perception of the risk, could cause customers to avoid public places, including retail properties, and could cause temporary or long-term disruptions in our supply chains and/or delays in the delivery of our inventory to our customers. Further, such risks could also adversely affect retail customers’ financial condition, resulting in reduced spending on our products, which are marketed as premium products. “Shelter-in-place” or other such orders by governmental entities could also disrupt our operations, if our employees or the employees of our sourcing partners who cannot perform their responsibilities from home, are not able to report to work. Risks related to an epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis, such as COVID-19, could also lead to the complete or partial closure of one or more of our co-packing facilities or operations of our sourcing partners. |

Basis of presentation [Policy Text Block] | Basis of presentation These unaudited financial statements represent the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as set forth in the Company's Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on August 13, 2020, which included all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position on a consolidated basis and the consolidated results of operations, equity and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are not necessarily indicative of expected operating results for the full year. The information presented throughout the document as of and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 is unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. for complete financial statements. |
Principles of consolidation [Policy Text Block] | Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Alkaline Water Company Inc. (a Nevada Corporation) and its four wholly owned subsidiaries: A88 Infused Beverage Division Inc. (a Nevada Corporation), A88 International, Inc. (a Nevada Corporation), A88 Infused Products Inc. (a Nevada Corporation), and Alkaline 88, LLC (an Arizona Limited Liability Company). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Alkaline Water Company Inc., A88 Infused Beverage Division, Inc., A88 Infused Products Inc., A88 International, Inc., AWC Acquisition Company Inc., and Alkaline 88, LLC will be collectively referred herein to as the "Company". Any reference herein to "The Alkaline Water Company Inc.", the "Company", "we", "our" or "us" is intended to mean The Alkaline Water Company Inc., including the subsidiaries indicated above, unless otherwise indicated. |
Use of Estimates [Policy Text Block] | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 significantly from those estimates. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents [Policy Text Block] | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be considered cash equivalents. The carrying value of these investments approximates fair value. As of the balance sheet date and periodically throughout the period, the Company has maintained balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits. The Company had $3,976,877 and $4,561,682 in cash at September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively. |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts [Policy Text Block] | Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company generally does not require collateral, and the majority of its trade receivables are unsecured. The carrying amount for accounts receivable approximates fair value. Accounts receivable consisted of the following as of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020: September 30, 2020 (unaudited) March 31, 2020 Trade receivables, net $ 5,817,018 $ 4,957,081 Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts (40,000 ) (40,000 ) Net accounts receivable $ 5,777,018 $ 4,917,081 Accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with clients. Provisions for losses on accounts receivable are determined on the basis of loss experience, known and inherent risk in the account balance and current economic conditions. The accounts receivable balance is pledged as collateral for the Company's revolving financing as disclosed in Note 3. |
Inventory [Policy Text Block] | Inventory Inventory represents raw materials and finished goods valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined using the weight average method which approximates first-in first-out method, and with market defined as the lower of replacement cost or realizable value. The inventory balance is pledged as collateral for the Company's revolving financing as disclosed in Note 3. As of September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, inventory consisted of the following: September 30, 2020 March 31, 2020 (unaudited) Raw materials $ 1,808,860 $ 1,788,868 Finished goods 2,440,721 1,130,992 Total inventory $ 4,249,581 $ 2,919,860 |
Property and Equipment [Policy Text Block] | Property and Equipment The Company records all property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. Improvements are capitalized while repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line (half-life convention) method over the estimated useful life of the assets, which the Company has determined to be 3 years. |
Stock-Based Compensation [Policy Text Block] | Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 718. Stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based payments using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for common stock options and warrants and the closing price of the Company's common stock for common share issuances. |
Revenue Recognition [Policy Text Block] | Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue per ASC 606. The Company recognizes revenue when the Company's performance obligations are satisfied. The Company's primary obligation (the distribution and sale of beverage products) is satisfied upon the delivery of products to the Company's customers, which is also when control is transferred. The Company does not accept returns due to the nature of the product. However, the Company will provide credit to our customers for damaged goods. The Company provides credit to its customers which typically require payment within 30 days. As an incentive to pay early the Company also typically provides a 2% discount if the customer pays within 10 days. The Company estimates the amount of the discount that the customer is likely to take and recognizes it as variable consideration. The amounts are not considered material. After evaluating the revenue disclosure requirements the Company does not believe that any revenues are required to be disaggregated. Revenue consists of the gross sales price, less variable consideration, consisting of estimated allowances for which provisions are made at the time of sale, and less certain other discounts, allowances, and rebates that are accounted for as a reduction from gross revenue. Shipping and handling charges that are billed to customers are included as a component of revenue. Costs incurred by the Company for shipping and handling charges are included in selling expenses and amounted to $1,670,523 and $1,496,708 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively and $3,477,554 and $2,928,163 for the six months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. |
Concentration Risks [Policy Text Block] | Concentration Risks We have 2 major customers that together account for 27% (15% and 12%, respectively) of accounts receivable at September 30, 2020, 1 customer that accounts for 25% of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2 customers that accounts for 40% (22% and 18%, respectively) of the total revenues earned for the six months ended September 30, 2020. The Company has 3 vendors that accounts for 58% (25%, 21% and 12% respectively) of purchases for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 3 vendors that accounted for 55% (24%, 19% and 12% respectively) of purchases for the six months ended September 30, 2020. We had 2 major customers that together accounted for 41% (23% and 18%, respectively) of accounts receivable at September 30, 2019, and 2 customers that together accounted for 41% (24% and 17%, respectively) of the total revenues earned for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2019. The Company had 2 vendors that accounted for 43% (24% and 19% respectively) of purchases for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 3 vendors that accounted for 54% (23%, 20% and 11% respectively) of purchases for the six months ended September 30, 2019. |
Income Taxes [Policy Text Block] | Income Taxes The Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate method in computing its interim tax provision. This effective tax rate is based on forecasted annual pre-tax income (loss), permanent tax differences and statutory tax rates. Deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The differences relate principally to net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequence for those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. |
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share [Policy Text Block] | Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share Basic and diluted earnings or loss per share ("EPS") amounts in the consolidated financial statements are computed in accordance ASC 260- 10 "Earnings per Share", which establishes the requirements for presenting EPS. Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share, because their effect would be anti-dilutive. The Company had 1,951,490 and 493,144 shares relating to options, 1,734,443 and 422,821 shares relating to warrants and -0- and 3.8 million convertible preferred shares at September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively that were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because they were antidilutive. |
Business Segments [Policy Text Block] | Business Segments The Company operates on one segment in one geographic location - the United States of America and; therefore, segment information is not presented. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments [Policy Text Block] | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments including accounts payable, accrued expenses, and notes payable approximate fair value due to the relative short period for maturity of these instruments. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. Authoritative guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the company's assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on reliability of the inputs as follows: Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not have any financial instruments that are measured on a recurring basis as Level 1, 2 or 3. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements [Policy Text Block] | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Standards Required to be Adopted in Future Years. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The Company has evaluated other recent accounting pronouncements through September 30, 2020 and believes that none of them will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. |
