Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tattooed Chef and its subsidiaries in which Tattooed Chef has a controlling interest directly or indirectly, and variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2021 as filed with the SEC on November 16, 2022, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto. The financial information as of December 31, 2021 included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is derived from the audited financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2021. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or for any future interim periods. The Transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP (the “Reverse Recapitalization”). Under this method, Forum was treated as the “acquired” company (“Accounting Acquiree”) and Myjojo, the accounting acquirer, was assumed to have issued stock for the net assets of Forum, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Forum are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations prior to the Reverse Recapitalization are those of Myjojo. The shares and corresponding capital amounts and earnings per share available for common stockholders, prior to the Reverse Recapitalization, have been retroactively restated. Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements Subsequent to the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, included in the Form 10-Q/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 2, 2022, the following errors were identified: – The Company incorrectly recorded expenses for advertising placement by a marketing services firm on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract rather than when the services were actually rendered. As a result, marketing expenses were overstated by $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and understated by $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. – The Company incorrectly recorded expenses related to a multi-vendor mailer program with a customer as operating expenses rather than as a reduction of revenue. As a result, revenue was overstated by $0.04 million and $4.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Operating expenses were overstated by $0.04 million and $4.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. – The Company incorrectly recorded certain payments to customers as promotional and bad debt expenses within operating expenses rather than a reduction of revenue. As a result, both revenue and operating expenses were overstated by $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. – The Company identified errors related to the underlying data used in the inventory capitalization and inventory net realizable value assessment. As a result, cost of goods sold was understated by $0.2 million from inventory capitalization calculation net of $0.1 million from net realizable value write-downs for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Cost of goods sold was overstated by $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. – The income tax impact of the errors identified above resulted in a decrease of deferred tax assets by $0.7 million as of June 30, 2021 and the $0.7 million was fully reserved during the three months ended June 30, 2021 due to the Company established a full valuation allowance starting the second quarter of 2021. As a result, the income tax expense was decreased by $0 million and $0.5 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The table below sets forth the condensed consolidated financial statements, including as reported, and the impacts resulting from the restatement, and the as restated balances for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021 (in thousands): ($ in thousands) Condensed Consolidated For the three months ended September 30, 2021 As Reported Adjustments As Restated NET REVENUE 58,355 (379) 57,976 COST OF GOODS SOLD 52,836 182 53,018 GROSS (LOSS) PROFIT 5,519 (561) 4,958 OPERATING EXPENSES 13,687 (894) 12,793 LOSS FROM OPERATIONS (8,168) 333 (7,835) LOSS BEFORE INCOME TAX BENEFIT (EXPENSE) (8,801) 333 (8,468) NET LOSS (8,546) 333 (8,213) COMPREHENSIVE LOSS (9,354) 333 (9,021) ($ in thousands except per share amounts) Condensed Consolidated For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 As Reported Adjustments As Restated NET REVENUE 161,094 (5,443) 155,651 COST OF GOODS SOLD 140,078 (521) 139,557 GROSS (LOSS) PROFIT 21,016 (4,922) 16,094 OPERATING EXPENSES 44,302 (3,492) 40,810 LOSS FROM OPERATIONS (23,286) (1,430) (24,716) LOSS BEFORE INCOME TAX BENEFIT (EXPENSE) (25,981) (1,430) (27,411) INCOME TAX BENEFIT (EXPENSE) (48,279) 485 (47,794) NET LOSS (74,260) (945) (75,205) NET LOSS PER SHARE Basic (0.91) (0.01) (0.92) Diluted (0.91) (0.02) (0.93) COMPREHENSIVE LOSS (75,169) (945) (76,114) ($ in thousands) Condensed Consolidated For the three months ended September 30, 2021 As Reported Adjustments As Restated Net loss in retained earnings (deficit) (8,546) 333 (8,213) Retained earnings (deficit) ending balance (10,970) 303 (10,667) Total stockholders’ equity ending balance 225,377 303 225,680 ($ in thousands) Condensed Consolidated For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 As Reported Adjustments As Restated CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES Net loss (74,260) (945) (75,205) Adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash from operating activities: Bad debt expense 539 (524) 15 Deferred taxes, net 47,549 (485) 47,064 Changes in operating assets and liabilities: Accounts receivable, net (3,847) 524 (3,323) Inventory (4,099) 499 (3,600) Prepaid expenses and other current assets (3,051) 931 (2,120) Use of Estimates. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant Accounting Policies. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies from its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Sales and Marketing Expenses . The Company expenses costs associated with sales and marketing as incurred. Sales and marketing expenses were $10.8 million and $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $34.3 million and $17.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Sales and marketing expenses are included in operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Leases. In April 2022, the Company commenced one operating lease for a facility in Vernon, California, with 10 years initial term with option to extend two additional five-year terms. The Company determined the reasonably certain lease term was 10 years. Approximately $9.5 million of operating lease right of use ("ROU") asset and $9.4 million of operating lease liabilities were recognized on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet upon the commencement date. In connection with the asset acquisition from Desert Premium Group, LLC (“DPG”) in August 2022, see Note 8 Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions, the Company assumed one operating lease for a facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico, for 2 years remaining lease term with option to extend two additional five-year terms. The Company determined the reasonably certain lease term was 7 years. Approximately $3.5 million of operating lease ROU asset ($1.7 million of the $3.5 million recognized value from below-market lease) and $1.8 million of operating lease liabilities were recognized on the Company's consolidated balance sheet upon the lease assumption date . Going Concern. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had total cash of $14.2 million and an accumulated deficit of $109.2 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company had a net loss of $86.8 million and net cash used in operating activities of $67.3 million. The Company has historically financed operations and capital expenditures through a combination of internally generated cash from operations, available cash on hand, the ability to draw on the line of credit, as well as the proceeds from the Reverse Recapitalization with Forum on October 15, 2020. The Company’s recent financial performance has been adversely impacted by the inflationary pressures on labor, freight and material costs, and its marketing expenditures on the Tattooed Chef brand investment to raise brand awareness, as well as a moderate impact from the conflict between Russia/Ukraine war. In addition, as disclosed in Note 14 Indebtedness, the Company expanded its primary line of credit (the “Credit Facility”) from $25.0 million to $40.0 million in August 2022. The Credit Facility contains a financial covenant that requires the Company to maintain a minimum negative $20.0 million of consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the trailing 1-quarter period ended September 30, 2022. The Company was not in compliance with the adjusted EBITDA minimum requirement as of the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. Further, as disclosed in Note 14 Indebtedness, $2.7 million note payable under NMFD and $1.8 million note payable under Ittella Properties, were not in compliance with the financial covenant as of September 30, 2022. In order to alleviate these conditions and or events that may raise substantial doubt about the entities ability to continue as a going concern, management plans to continue to closely monitor its operating forecast and pursue additional sources of outside capital. If the Company is unable to (a) improve its operating results, (b) obtain additional outside capital on terms that are acceptable to the Company to fund the Company’s operations, and/or (c) secure a waiver or avoid forbearance from the lender if the Company is continually unable to remain in compliance with the financial covenants required by the Credit Facility, the Company will have to make significant changes to its operating plan, such as delay and reduce marketing expenditures, reduce investments in new products, reduce its capital expenditures, reduce its sale and distribution infrastructure, or otherwise significantly reduce the scope of its business. Moreover, if the Company fails to secure a waiver or avoid forbearance from the lender, the failure could accelerate the repayment of the outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility or the exercise of other rights or remedies the lender may have under the loan documents and applicable law. While management believes the Company will be able to secure additional outside capital, no assurances can be provided that such capital will be obtained or on terms that are acceptable to the Company. Furthermore, given the inherent uncertainties associated with the Company’s growth strategy and as the Company is currently not in compliance with the financial covenants required by the Credit Facility, these uncertainties raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and payments of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Concentrations Ris k. The Company grants credit, generally without collateral, to customers primarily in the United States. Consequently, the Company is subject to potential credit risk related to changes in business and economic factors in this geographical area. No single external suppliers accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s cost of goods sold during the periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. As such, the Company is not subject to significant concentration risk on suppliers. Three customers accounted for 52% of the Company’s revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2022. Three customers accounted for more than 63% of the Company’s revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Customer 2022 2021 Customer A 23 % 19 % Customer B 15 % 11 % Customer C * 33 % Customer D 14 % * ________________________________ * Customer accounted for less than 10% of revenue in the period. Four customers accounted for 64% of the Company’s revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Three customers accounted for more than 76% of the Company’s revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Customer 2022 2021 Customer A 29 % 29 % Customer B 10 % 11 % Customer C 14 % 36 % Customer D 11 % * *Customer accounted for less than 10% of revenue in the period. Three customers accounting for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were: Customer September 30, December 31, Customer A 16 % 13 % Customer C * 38 % Customer D * 12 % *Customer accounted for less than 10% of accounts receivable as of the date indicated. COVID-19 Pandemic. The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), which was categorized by the World Health Organization as a pandemic in March 2020, continues to significantly impact the United States and the rest of the world and has altered the Company’s business environment and overall working conditions. Despite partial remote working conditions, the Company’s business activities have continued to operate with minimal interruptions. However, the pandemic may adversely affect the Company’s suppliers and could impair its ability to obtain raw material inventory in the quantities or of a quality the Company desires. The Company currently sources a material amount of its raw materials from Italy. Though the Company is not dependent on any single Italian grower for its supply of a certain crop, events (including COVID-19) generally affecting these growers could adversely affect the Company’s business. The Company has experienced and is experiencing varying levels of inflation resulting in part from increased shipping and transportation costs, increased raw material and labor costs caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and general global economic conditions. The inflationary impact on the Company’s cost structure has been considered in its product pricing adjustment, which will be beginning in the fourth quarter of 2022, in addition to a continued focus on reducing manufacturing costs where possible. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate material adverse impact on the financial statements and presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our business, operations, financial condition and liquidity. Russia-Ukraine Conflict. Although the Company does not have direct exposure to Russia and Ukraine, the Company is monitoring the geopolitical situation following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The Company may experience shortages in materials and increased costs for transportation, energy, and raw materials due in part to the negative impact of the Russia-Ukraine military conflict on the global economy. Recently, the surging of energy cost in Europe moderately adversely impacted on our growers and our manufacturing subsidiary in Italy. Therefore, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has had a moderate adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. However, the full impact of the conflict on the Company’s business operations and financial performance remains uncertain and will depend largely on the nature and duration of uncertain and unpredictable events, such as the severity and duration of further military action and its impact on regional and global economic conditions. |
