| Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | 1 . Basis of Presentation and Si gnificant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries, and all significant intercompany transactions and amounts have been eliminated. The results of businesses acquired or disposed of are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition or up to the date of disposal, respectively. References to the "Company", "we," "our," "us," and similar pronouns in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 (this "Form 10-Q") refer to Vintage Wine Estates, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its majority owned subsidiaries or controlled subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise. Our fiscal year ends on June 30. References to fiscal 2022 and 2021 in these condensed consolidated financial statements are to the fiscal years ending or ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") instructions to Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and include the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting. The COVID-19 pandemic ("COVID-19") continues to affect the U.S. and global economies. Restrictions imposed by federal, state, and local governments have disrupted and will continue to disrupt our business. While many of the restrictions have expired, some are continuing. We expect the COVID-19 pandemic to have a minimal impact on sales revenues, as we believe we are well-positioned to take advantage of increased direct-to-consumer sales platforms in lieu of in-person transactions. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Except as disclosed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. In addition, financial results presented for this fiscal 2022 interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2022 or any other future interim or annual period. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on October 13, 2021. The June 30, 2021 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. Merger and Reverse Recapitalization We were formed in 2019 as Bespoke Capital Acquisition Corp. (“BCAC”), a special purpose acquisition company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. BCAC was organized for the purpose of effecting an acquisition of one or more businesses or assets by way of a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or any other similar business combination involving BCAC. On June 7, 2021, BCAC completed its business combination (the "Merger") with Vintage Wine Estates, Inc., a California corporation ("Legacy VWE") pursuant to a transaction agreement dated February 3, 2021 (as amended, the “Transaction Agreement”) by the merger of VWE Acquisition Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of BCAC (“merger sub”) with and into Legacy VWE, with Legacy VWE continuing as the surviving entity and as a wholly owned subsidiary of BCAC. In connection with the Merger, BCAC changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Province of British Columbia to the State of Nevada and BCAC changed its name to Vintage Wine Estates, Inc. Upon the consummation of the Merger, the Company received approximately $ 248.7 million, net of fees and expenses. See Note 2 for additional details regarding the transaction. Significant Accounting Policies A description of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in the audited financial statements within its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. Except as noted below, there have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the nine months ended March 31, 2022. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates form the basis for judgments we make about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are based on management’s knowledge about current events and expectations about actions we may undertake in the future. Significant estimates include, but are not limited to depletion allowance, allowance for doubtful accounts, the net realizable value of inventory, expected future cash flows including growth rates, discount rates, and other assumptions and estimates used to evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets, estimated fair values of intangible assets in acquisitions, intangible assets and goodwill for impairment, amortization methods and periods, amortization period of label and package design costs, the estimated fair value of long-term debt, the valuation of interest rate swaps, contingent consideration, common stock, stock-based compensation and accounting for income taxes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations. Specifically, we reclassified accrued trade commissions to other accrued expenses and reclassified custom production and other receivables to Wholesale trade accounts receivables. Cash Cash consists of deposits held at financial institutions. Restricted Cash The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheet that sums to the total of the same such amounts as shown in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows:
(in thousands) March 31, 2022 June 30, 2021
Cash and cash equivalents $ 69,109 $ 118,879
Restricted cash 6,600 4,800
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as shown in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows $ 75,709 $ 123,679 Restricted cash consists of $ 4.8 million that was deposited into a restricted cash account as collateral for the credit facility, subject to release upon the completion of certain construction costs and $ 1.8 million that was deposited into a restricted cash account as collateral for our captive insurance letter of credit. I nterest Rate Swap Agreements GAAP requires that an entity recognize all derivatives (including interest rate swaps) as either assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and measure these instruments at fair value. The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements as a means of managing its interest rate exposure on its debt obligations. These agreements mitigate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on our variable rate obligations. We have not designated these agreements as cash-flow hedges. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as a component of other income (expense). We do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Revenue Recognition Point in Time —Revenue is recognized when control of promised goods or services is transferred to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition, we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. We recognize revenue when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customers are satisfied. Generally, this occurs when the product is shipped and title passes to the customer, and when control of the promised product or service is transferred to the customer. Our standard terms are free on board (“FOB”) shipping point, with no customer acceptance provisions. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring products. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. We account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill our promise to transfer the associated products. Accordingly, we record amounts billed for shipping and handling costs as a component of net sales and classify such costs as a component of costs of sales. Our products are generally not sold with a right of return unless the product is spoiled or damaged. Historically, returns have not been significant to the Company. Over Time —Certain long-term contracts in our Business-to-Business ("B2B") segment are for custom wine making services and include services such as fermentation, barrel aging, procurement of dry goods, bottling and cased goods. Additionally, we provide storage services for wine inventory of various customers. We recognize revenue over time as the contract specific performance obligations are met.

Total net revenue $ 78,933 $ 46,897 $ 218,231 $ 163,709 Concentrations of Risk Financial instruments that potentially expose us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and trade accounts receivable. We maintain the majority of our cash balances at multiple financial institutions that management believes are of high-credit quality and financially stable. At times, we have cash deposited with major financial institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance limits. At March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, we had $ 65.8 million and $ 121.6 million respectively, in one major financial institution in excess of FDIC insurance limits. We sell the majority of our wine through U.S. distributors and the Direct-to-Consumer channel. Receivables arising from these sales are not collateralized. We attempt to limit our credit risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintaining adequate allowances for potential credit losses. The following table summarizes customer concentration:
Three Months Ended March 31, Nine Months Ended March 31,

Revenue as a percent of total revenue
Customer A 15.6 % 41.0 % 18.3 % 40.0 %
Customer B * * 10.0 % 12.0 %
Customer C * * 10.1 % *
Customer D * * * * The following table summarizes customer concentration:
March 31, 2022 June 30, 2021
Receivables as a percent of total receivables
Customer A 44.3 % 35.0 %
Customer B * 21.0 %
Customer C * *
Customer D 11.5 % 10.4 % * Customer revenue or receivables did not exceed 10% in the respective periods. Revenues for sales from Customer A are included within the Wholesale and Business-to-Business reporting segments, Customer B are included within the Business-to-Business reporting segment and Customer C and Customer D are included within the Wholesale reporting segment. Inventories Inventories of bulk and bottled wines, spirits, and ciders and inventories of non-wine products and bottling and packaging supplies are valued at the lower of cost using the FIFO method or net realizable value. Costs associated with winemaking, and other costs associated with the manufacturing of products for resale, are recorded as inventory. Net realizable value is the value of an asset that can be realized upon the sale of the asset, less a reasonable estimate of the costs associated with either the eventual sale or the disposal of the asset in question. Inventories are classified as current assets in accordance with recognized industry practice, although most wines and spirits are aged for periods longer than one year. Business Combinations Business combinations are accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805—Business Combinations, using the acquisition method of accounting under which all acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities and applicable noncontrolling interests are recognized at fair value as of the respective acquisition date, while the costs associated with the acquisition of a business are expensed as incurred. The allocation of purchase consideration requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. These estimates can include, but are not limited to, a market participant’s expectation of future cash flows from acquired customers, acquired trade names, useful lives of acquired assets, and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from such estimates. During the measurement period, which is generally no longer than one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recognized in operations. Segment Information We operate in three reportable segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), our Chief Executive Officer, allocates resources and assesses performance based upon discrete financial information at the segment level. Income Taxes Deferred income taxes are determined using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when the expected recognition of a deferred income tax asset is considered to be unlikely. We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the tax authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit is measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 % likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation provided to employees is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations based on the grant date fair value of the awards. The fair value of restricted stock units is determined by the grant date market price of our common shares. The fair value of stock options is determined on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The determination of the grant date fair value of stock option awards granted is affected by a number of variables, including the fair value of the Company's common stock, the expected common stock price volatility over the life of the awards, the expected term of the stock option, risk-free interest rates and the expected dividend yield of the Company's common stock. Due to the Company's limited trading history since becoming a public company on June 7, 2021, the Company derived its volatility from the average historical stock volatilities of several peer public companies over a period equivalent to the expected term of the awards. The compensation expense recognized for stock-based awards is net of estimated forfeitures and is recognized ratably over the service period of the awards. All income tax effects of stock-based awards are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as awards vest or are settled. We classify stock-based compensation expense in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. Earnout Shares The Legacy VWE shareholders may become entitled to receive up to an additional 5,726,864 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Earnout Shares”) pursuant to the Transaction Agreement. The Earnout Shares will be released if the price of our common stock meets certain thresholds in the 24 months following the closing of the Merger (see Note 2). The Earnout Shares meet the accounting definition of a derivative financial instrument, are considered to be indexed to the Company’s common stock and meet other conditions in ASC 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity's Own Equity , to be classified as equity. The Company’s obligation to issue the Earnout Shares is recorded as a dividend to the Legacy VWE shareholders at fair value as of the date of the Merger. The fair value of the Earnout Shares was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model, which requires significant estimates including the expected volatility of our common stock. The expected annual volatility of our common stock was estimated to be 55.0 % as of the date of the Merger, based on the historical volatility of comparable publicly traded companies. Redeemable Series A and Series B Stock Prior to the Merger, Legacy VWE had Series A and B stock outstanding. All of the Series B stock and the majority of the Series A stock was classified as temporary equity due to the shares being redeemable at the option of the holder. The carrying value of the redeemable Series A stock and redeemable Series B stock was being accreted to its respective redemption values, using the effective interest method, from the date of issuance to the earliest date the holders could demand redemption. Accretion of redeemable Series B stock included the accretion of dividends and issuance costs. Increases to the carrying value of redeemable Series A stock and redeemable Series B stock were charged to retained earnings or, in its absence, to additional paid-in-capital. Up on any repurchase of redeemable stock, the excess consideration paid over the carrying value at the time of repurchase is accounted for as a deemed dividend to the stockholders. In conjunction with the closing of the Merger, a majority of the redeemable Series B stock was redeemed and the remaining redeemable Series B shares, along with all redeemable Series A shares, were converted into shares of the Company's common stock. All Series A and Series B shares which were converted into shares of the Company's common stock were retroactively adjusted using the exchange ratio and reclassified into permanent equity as a result of the Merger. Earnings Per Share Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share allocable to common stockholders is presented in conformity with the two-class method required for participating securities. We considered our Series B stock to be participating securities as, in the event a dividend is paid on Series A stock, the holders of Series B stock would be entitled to receive dividends on a basis consistent with the Series A stockholders. The two-class method determines net income per share for each class of common and participating securities according to dividends declared or accumulated as well as participation rights in undistributed earnings. The two-class method requires income available to stockholders for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. Legacy VWE’s redeemable Series B stock was considered to be a participating security. Under the two-class method, any net loss attributable to common stockholders is not allocated to the Series B stock as the holders of the Series B stock did not have a contractual obligation to share in losses. Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) allocable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. For purposes of the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share, convertible debt (previously convertible into Legacy VWE Series A stock) and stock options and warrants to purchase common stock are considered potentially dilutive securities but are excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share when their effect is antidilutive. As a result, in certain periods, diluted net loss per share is the same as the basic net loss per share for the periods presented. The computation of net income (loss) available to Series A stockholders is computed by deducting the dividends declared, if any, and cumulative dividends, whether or not declared, in the period on Series B stock (whether paid or not) from the reported net income (loss). As the Merger has been accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, the consolidated financial statements of the merged entity reflect the continuation of Legacy VWE’s consolidated financial statements, with the Legacy VWE equity, which has been retroactively adjusted to the earliest period presented to reflect the legal capital of the legal acquirer, BCAC. As a result, net income (loss) per share was also restated for periods ended prior to the Merger. Self-Insurance On September 9, 2021, the Company formed VWE Captive, LLC, a wholly-owned captive insurance company ("Captive"), which became operational on October 1, 2021. The Company formed Captive to self-insure the first $ 10.0 million of claims, above which limit, Captive has secured insurance. The insurance policy protects us against a portion of our risk of loss related to earthquakes, flood and named wildfires and windstorms. Emerging Growth Company Status We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act, until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting , which provides optional expedients and exceptions to applying the guidance on contract modifications, hedge accounting, and other transactions, to simplify the accounting for transitioning from the London Interbank Offered Rate, and other interbank offered rates expected to be discontinued, to alternative reference rates. The guidance in this ASU was effective upon its issuance; if elected, it is to be applied prospectively through December 31, 2022. The impact this ASU will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements will not be known until we have a modification to our financial instruments converting from LIBOR to another interest rate. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”), which supersedes the guidance in ASC 840, Leases . The new standard, as amended by subsequent ASUs on Topic 842 and recent extensions issued by the FASB in response to COVID-19, requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases t oday. Topic 842 will be effective for the Company for fiscal year ending June 30, 2023 and for interim periods in the year beginning July 1, 2022. We have not yet determined the full effects of Topic 842 on the Company's consolidated financial statements but do expect that it will result in a substantial increase in our long-term assets and liabilities and enhanced disclosures. Based on our initial assessment, we plan to be using the modified retrospective approach and electing the package of transition practical expedients for expired or existing contracts, which retains prior conclusions reached on lease identification, classification, and initial direct costs incurred. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The adoption of this guidance will at least result in the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities in our vineyard leases with a weighted-average remaining lease term of less than 10 years upon the adoption on July 1, 2022. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , as amended, which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. It also eliminates the concept of other-than-temporary impairment and requires credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. These changes will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. The guidance is effective for the Company for fiscal year ending on June 30, 2024 and interim periods beginning for the fiscal year commencing on July 1, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this standard will have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements given our historically low bad debt expense. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740) . The amendments in the updated guidance simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions and improving consistent application of other areas of the topic by clarifying the guidanc e. The amendments in this update are effective for the Company for fiscal year ending June 30, 2023 and interim periods within the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact and timing of adopting ASU 2019-12, however at this time, the adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers . The amendments in the updated guidance require that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. The amendments in this update are effective for the Company for fiscal years ending June 30, 2024 and for interim periods in the year beginning July 1, 2023. Early adoption is permitted including adoption at an interim period. We are currently evaluating the impact and timing of adopting ASU 2021-08, however at this time, the adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements. |
