NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES New Age Beverages Corporation (the "Company") was formed under the laws of the State of Washington on April 26, 2010 under the name American Brewing Company, Inc. On April 1, 2015, the Company acquired the assets of B&R Liquid Adventure, which included the brand Bucha® Live Kombucha. On June 30, 2016, the Company acquired the combined assets of New Age Beverages, LLC, Aspen Pure, LLC, New Age Properties, LLC and Xing Beverage, LLC (see Note 3) and changed the integrated company's name to New Age Beverages Corporation. The Company manufactures, markets and sells a portfolio of Healthy Functional Beverages including XingTea®, an all-natural, non- GMO, non-HFCS premium Ready to Drink (RTD) Tea, Aspen Pure®, an artesian-well, naturally-high PH balanced, source water from the Colorado Rocky Mountains, XingEnergy®, an all-natural, vitamin-enriched, non-GMO, Non-HFCS Energy Drink, and Bucha® Live Kombucha, an organic, all natural, fermented kombucha tea. The portfolio of brands is distributed through the Company's own Direct Store Distribution (DSD) network in Colorado and surrounding states, throughout the United States both direct to major retailers and through its network of DSD partners, and in 10 countries around the world. The brands are sold in all channels of distribution including Hypermarkets, Supermarkets, Pharmacies, Convenience, Gas and other outlets. Prior to acquiring the Bucha Live Kombucha® brand and business, the Company was a craft brewery operation. On October 1, 2015, American Brewing agreed to sell their brewery, brewery assets and its related liabilities to focus exclusively on the healthy functional beverage category and the Bucha® brand. The assets sold consisted of accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid assets and property and equipment. The Company recognized the sale of its brewery and micro-brewing operations as a discontinued operation beginning in the third quarter of 2015 (see Note 11). That transaction ultimately concluded in May 2016. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2016 of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 7, 2016. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or for the full year. Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements which substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for fiscal 2015 as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been presented on a comparative basis. For periods after the acquisition of the bucha® Live Kombucha brand (since April 1, 2015), our operating results are referred to as Successor. For periods prior to the acquisition of the bucha® Live Kombucha brand, our operating results are referred to as Predecessor. Where applicable, a black line separates the Successor and Predecessor financial information to highlight the lack of comparability between the periods. Our operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2015 (Successor) incorporate certain reclassifications necessary to remove our prior micro-brewing operations and brewery from our continuing operations and report them as discontinued operations. Further, our net (loss) income per share has been changed accordingly to report per-share amounts from continuing and discontinued operations. For all periods presented, we are reporting a net loss from continuing operations, and as a result our diluted (loss) earnings per share are the same as our basic (loss) income per share. As of December 31, 2015, three customers represented approximately 92.7% (59.9%, 22.9% and 10.9%) of accounts receivable. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 (Successor), three customers represented approximately 27.5% (14.5%, 7.5% and 5.5%) of revenue. For the six months ended September 30, 2015 (Successor), three customers represented approximately 31.3% (18.8%, 7.9% and 4.5%) of revenue. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 (Predecessor), three customers represented approximately 85.6% (30.2%, 29.4% and 26.0%) of revenue. Accounts Receivable Factoring Arrangement with Recourse On April 2, 2015, the Company entered into a factoring agreement to sell, with recourse, certain receivables to an unrelated third-party financial institution. Under the terms of the factoring agreement, the Company receives an advance of 80% of qualified receivables and maximum amount of outstanding advances at any one time will not exceed $500,000. On July 1 st , 2016 the Company cancelled its factoring contract. As of September 30, 2016 (Successor), the Company has no factoring payable liability as compared to $110,663 as of December 31, 2015. Goodwill and Customer Relationships Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but tested for impairment annually or more frequently when events or circumstances indicates that the carrying value of a reporting unit more likely than not exceeds its fair value. The goodwill impairment test is applied by performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit. If, on the basis of qualitative factors, it is considered not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, further testing of goodwill for impairment would not be required. Otherwise, goodwill impairment is tested using a two-step approach. Customer relationships are recorded at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Definite lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful life using the straight-line method, which is determined by identifying the period over which the cash flows from the asset are expected to be generated. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, accumulated amortization was $125,000 and $62,500, respectively. Amortization expense was $20,834 and $62,500 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 (Successor), respectively. There was no amortization expense for customer relationships in 2015 for the periods presented. Amortization expense is classified as cost of goods sold in the statements of operations. Long-lived Assets Our long-lived assets consisted of property and equipment and customer relationships and are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the guidance of the FASB Topic ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. We test for impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Through June 30, 2016, we had not experienced impairment losses on our long-lived assets as management determined that there were no indicators that a carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
