NOTE B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
|
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist the reader in understanding and evaluating the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. |
|
Use of Estimates |
|
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The more significant estimates and assumptions made by management include allowance for doubtful accounts, provision for excess or expired inventory, depreciation of property and equipment, refundable keg deposits and fair market value of equity instruments issued for goods or services. The current economic environment has increased the degree and uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions. |
|
Concentrations of Credit Risk |
|
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. |
|
The Company sells primarily to independent beer distributors across Western Washington State as well as self distributing to local businesses. Sales outside of Washington State are insignificant. Receivables arising from these sales are not collateralized; however, credit risk is minimized by continuing to diversify the Company’s customer base. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. As of September 30, 2014 there were four customers that represented 86% of Accounts Receivable. As of December 31, 2013 there were four customers that represented 78% of Accounts Receivable. For the three months period ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 three customers represented approximately 61% and 58% of revenue, respectively. For the nine months period ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, three customers represented approximately 59% and 55% of revenue, respectively. For the three months period ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, two suppliers of grain and bottling services represented approximately 82% and 100% of the cost of goods sold, respectively, and 86% and 92% of the cost of goods sold for the nine months period ending September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
|
Refundable Deposits on Kegs |
|
The Company distributes its draft beer in kegs to wholesalers. All kegs are leased or owned by the Company. Purchased kegs are reflected in the Company’s balance sheets in property and equipment at cost of approximately $134,000 and $134,000 as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Upon shipment of beer to wholesalers, the Company collects a refundable deposit on the kegs which are included in the accrued expenses in current liabilities in the Company’s balance sheets. Refundable keg deposits were approximately $58,000 and $52,000 as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Upon return of the kegs to the Company, the deposit is refunded to the wholesaler. |
|
The Company has experienced some loss of kegs and anticipates that some loss will occur in future periods due to the significant volume of kegs handled by each wholesaler and retailer, the homogeneous nature of kegs owned by most brewers and the relatively small deposit collected for each keg when compared with its market value. The Company believes that this is an industry-wide issue and that the Company’s loss experience is not atypical. The Company believes that the loss of kegs, after considering the forfeiture of related deposits, has not been material to the financial statements. The Company uses internal records, records maintained by wholesalers, records maintained by other third party vendors and historical information to estimate the physical count of kegs held by wholesalers. These estimates affect the amount recorded as property, plant and equipment and current liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. The actual liability for refundable deposits could differ from these estimates. |
|
Revenue Recognition |
|
The Company recognizes revenue on product sales at the time when the product is shipped and the following conditions are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title has passed to the customer according to the shipping terms, the price is fixed and determinable, and collection of the sales proceeds is reasonably assured. If the conditions for revenue recognition are not met, the Company defers the revenue until all conditions are met. Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and therefore are excluded from revenues in the statements of operations. Revenue recognized was approximately $306,000 and $266,000 for the three months period ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and approximately $815,000 and $751,000 for the nine months period ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
|
Excise Taxes |
|
The Company is responsible for compliance with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau of the U.S. Treasury Department (the “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 were approximately $6,000 and $6,000 for the three months period ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Similarly, excise taxes were approximately $15,000 and $16,000 for the nine months period ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |
|
Net Income (Loss) Per Share |
|
Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method or the two-class method, whichever is more dilutive. As the Company incurred net losses for the three and nine months period ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively no potentially dilutive securities were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the impact would have been anti-dilutive. Therefore, basic and dilutive net income (loss) per share were the same. |
|
Segment Information |
|
The Company operates in two segments in accordance with accounting guidance Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting. Our Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the chief operating decision maker as defined by FASB ASC Topic 280. See additional discussion at Note K. |
|
Going Concern |
|
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $2,005,000 and $875,000 at September 30, 2014 and year ended December 31, 2013, respectively, has a history or recurring net losses and negative working capital. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. |
|
While the Company is attempting to increase operations and generate additional revenues, the Company’s cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a public offering. In addition, the Company had offered a private placement memorandum for the placement of 2,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share, for a total of approximately $890,000, net of approximately $110,000 in placement fees. The subscription period has terminated. As of the closing of the private placement memorandum on March 31, 2014 the Company raised approximately $715,000 in aggregate (of which approximately $86,800, net of $13,200 of commissions, was received in the three months period ended March 31, 2014) and issued 1,430,000 shares of common stock in aggregate (of which 200,000 shares of common stock were issued during the three months period ended March 31, 2014) related to this private placement. |
|
In addition, the Company has registered for sale 570,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.50 per share of which 516,866 shares had been sold during the nine months period ended September 30, 2014 raising approximately $258,000. The offering is being conducted on a self underwritten and best efforts basis. There is no assurance that the offering will be successful or that the maximum number of shares or amounts will be attained. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate additional revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate additional revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate additional revenues. |
|
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. |
