2. NATURE OF ACTIVITIES AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business Activity

Our business is currently conducted by our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Artisan, FII, Food New Media Group, Inc. (“FNM”), OFB, Gourmet Foodservice Group, Inc. (“GFG”), Gourmet Foodservice Warehouse, Inc. (“GFW”), Gourmeting Inc. (“Gourmeting”), The Haley Group, Inc. (“Haley”), Oasis, 4 The Gourmet, Inc. (d/b/a For The Gourmet, Inc.), (“Gourmet”), Innovative Gourmet (sometimes referred to herein as “Igourmet.com” or “Igourmet”), M Innovations, (sometimes referred to herein as “Mouth” or ” Mouth.com”) and Food Funding (collectively, IVFH and its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “IVFH”).

Overall, our business activities are focused around the creation and growth of a platform which provides distribution or the enabling of distribution of high quality, unique specialty food and food related products ranging from specialty foodservice products to Consumer-Packaged Goods (“CPG”) products through a variety of sales channels ranging from national partnership based and regionally based foodservice related sales channels to e-commerce sales channels offering products both direct to consumers (“D2C”) and direct to business (“B2B”). In our business model, we receive orders from our customers and then work closely with our suppliers and our warehouse facilities to have the orders fulfilled. In order to maintain freshness and quality, we carefully select our suppliers based upon, among other factors, their quality, uniqueness, reliability and access to overnight courier services.

FII, though its relationship with the producers, growers, and makers of thousands of unique specialty foodservice products and through its relationship with US Foods, Inc. (“U.S. Foods” or “USF”), has been in the business of providing premium restaurants, within 24 – 72 hours, with the freshest origin-specific perishable, and healthcare products shipped directly from our network of vendors and from our warehouses. Our customers include restaurants, hotels, country clubs, national chain accounts, casinos, hospitals and catering houses.

Gourmet has been in the business of providing specialty food via e-commerce through its own website at www.forthegourmet.com and through other ecommerce channels, with unique specialty gourmet food products shipped directly from our network of vendors and from our warehouses within 24 – 72 hours. GFG is focused on expanding the Company’s program offerings to additional customers.

7

Artisan is a supplier of over 1,500 unique specialty foodservice products to over 500 customers such as chefs, restaurants, etc. in the Greater Chicago area and serves as a national fulfillment center for certain of the Company’s other subsidiaries.

Haley is a dedicated foodservice consulting and advisory firm that works closely with companies to access private label and manufacturers’ private label food service opportunities with the intent of helping them launch and commercialize new products in the broadline foodservice industry and assists in the enabling of the distribution of products via national broadline food distributors.

OFB and Oasis function as outsourced national sales and brand management teams for emerging organic and specialty food CPG companies of a variety of sizes and business stages, and provides emerging and unique CPG specialty food brands with distribution and shelf placement access in all of the major metro markets in the food retail industry.

Igourmet has been in the business of providing DTC specialty food via e-commerce through its own website at www.igourmet.com and through other channels such as www.amazon.com, www.jet.com, and www.walmart.com. In addition, Igourmet.com offers a line of B2B specialty foodservice items. Products are primarily shipped directly from Igourmet.com’s 67,000 square feet warehouse in Pennsylvania via Igourmet.com owned trucks and via third party carrier directly to thousands of customers nationwide.

Mouth.com (www.mouth.com) is an online retailer of specialty foods, monthly subscription boxes and curated gift boxes to thousands of consumers and corporate customers across the United States. Mouth sources high quality specialty foods crafted in the US by independent and small batch makers, and expertly curates them into standout food gifts for both consumers and corporate customers. Mouth also has launched a private label brand, including several award-winning products. 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and concentration of credit risk. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Accounts subject to estimate and judgements are accounts receivable reserves, income taxes, intangible assets, contingent liabilities, operating right of use assets and liabilities, and equity based instruments. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe our estimates have not been materially inaccurate in past years, and our assumptions are not likely to change in the foreseeable future.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Innovative Food Holdings, Inc., and its wholly owned operating subsidiaries, Artisan, FII, FNM, OFB, GFG, Gourmet Foodservice Warehouse, Inc., Gourmeting, Haley, Oasis, Innovative Gourmet, Food Funding, M Innovations and Gourmet.  All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation of these entities.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash in investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of applicable government mandated insurance limit. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, trade receivables from the Company’s largest customer amounted to 40% and 44%, respectively, of total trade receivables.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period data to the current presentation.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) and short-term and long-term lease liabilities are included on the face of the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Finance lease ROU assets are presented within other assets, and finance lease liabilities are presented within accrued liabilities.

8

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component. For lease agreements with terms less than 12 months, the Company has elected the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption, and it recognizes such lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue upon product delivery. All of our products are shipped either same day or overnight or through longer shipping terms to the customer and the customer takes title to product and assumes risk and ownership of the product when it is delivered. Shipping charges to customers and sales taxes collectible from customers, if any, are included in revenues.

For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board “FASB” Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” 606. A five-step analysis a must be met as outlined in Topic 606: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied..  Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.  The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required. Adoption of ASC 606 had no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Deferred Revenue

Cost of goods sold

We have included in cost of goods sold all costs which are directly related to the generation of revenue. These costs include primarily the cost of food and raw materials, packing and handling, shipping, and delivery costs.

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share 

Basic net earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, while fully-diluted net earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities assumed to be outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Potentially dilutive securities consist of options and warrants to purchase common stock, and convertible debt. Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate the impact of outstanding stock options and warrants. Stock options and warrants for which the exercise price exceeds the average market price over the period have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per common share and, accordingly, are excluded from the calculation. 

Dilutive shares at June 30, 2019:

Convertible notes and interest

At June 30, 2019 there were no convertible notes outstanding.

Warrants

At June 30, 2019 there are no warrants outstanding.

Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, current U.S. GAAP requires the performance of procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead, the amendments under this ASU require the goodwill impairment test to be performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The ASU becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. The amendments in this ASU should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed. We are evaluating what impact, if any, the adoption of this guidance will have on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or financial disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months and disclosing key information about leasing transactions. Leases are classified as either operating or financing, with such classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842) - Targeted Improvements, which provided an optional transition method to apply the new lease requirements through a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption.

We adopted ASU 2016-02 in the first quarter of 2019 using the optional transition method and elected certain practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which, among other things, allowed us to not reassess prior conclusions related to contracts containing leases or lease classification. The adoption primarily affected our condensed consolidated balance sheet through the recognition of $338,581 of operating right-of-use assets and $338,581 of operating lease liabilities as of January 1, 2019. The adoption did not have a significant impact on our results of operations or cash flows. See Note 7. "Leases" to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the effects of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 and the associated disclosures.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU relates to the accounting for non-employee share-based payments. The amendment in this update expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquired goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The ASU excludes share-based payment awards that relate to: (1) financing to the issuer; or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts from Customers. The share-based payments are to be measured at grant-date fair value of the equity instruments that the entity is obligated to issue when the goods or service has been delivered or rendered and all other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the equity instruments have been satisfied. This standard will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. We adopted the provisions of this ASU on January 1, 2019. The adoption had no impact on our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

3.  ACQUISITIONS

Mouth Foods, Inc.

Effective July 6, 2018, M Innovations acquired certain assets of Mouth Foods, Inc. (“Mouth”) from MFI (assignment for the benefit of creditors), LLC (“MFI”), the assignee of Mouth’s assets in connection with a Delaware assignment proceeding, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement (“MFI APA”). The MFI APA was accounted for as an acquisition of an ongoing business in accordance with ASC Topic 805 - Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), where the Company was treated as the acquirer and the acquired assets and assumed liabilities were recorded by the Company at their preliminary estimated fair values. Mouth, was a privately held New York company operating out of Brooklyn, was an expert curator and online retailer of high quality specialty foods from small-batch makers in the US.

The consideration for and in connection with the acquisition consisted of (i) closing related cash payments of $208,355; (ii) additional revenue-based contingent liabilities valued by management at $100,000 related to certain future sales of purchased assets payable under the following terms: payment of 5% of certain revenues, with no payments on the first $500,000 of revenues and no payments on revenues after June 30, 2020; (iii) additional revenue based contingent liabilities of up to $185,000 associated with the purchase of certain debt of the seller; and (iv) additional contingent liability consideration valued by management at approximately $20,000.

12

The acquisition date estimated fair value of the consideration transferred totaled $513,355. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company changed the original allocation of the purchase price among the assets acquired. The reallocated purchase price consisted of the following:

Cash	$	208,355
Contingent liability – payable to debt holder		185,000
Contingent liabilities – payable to sellers		100,000
Additional Contingent Liabilities		20,000
Total purchase price	$	513,355
Tangible assets acquired	$	57,000
Intangible assets acquired		419,926
Goodwill acquired		36,429
Total purchase price	$	513,355

The above estimated fair value of the intangible assets is based on a preliminary purchase price allocation prepared by management. As a result, during the preliminary purchase price allocation period, which may be up to one year from the business combination date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with a corresponding offset to goodwill.  After the preliminary purchase price allocation period, we record adjustments to assets acquired or liabilities assumed subsequent to the purchase price allocation period in our operating results in the period in which the adjustments were determined. 

iGourmet, LLC

The iGourmet Asset Purchase Agreement effective January 23, 2018 (the “iGourmet APA”) was accounted for as an acquisition of an ongoing business in accordance with ASC Topic 805 - Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), where the Company was treated as the acquirer and the acquired assets and certain liabilities not purchased or assumed by Innovative Gourmet, which  under certain circumstances, Innovative Gourmet may determine to pay, were recorded by the Company at their preliminary estimated fair values.

The consideration for and in connection with the iGourmet APA consisted of:  (i) $1,500,000, which satisfied or reduced secured, priority and administrative debt of sellers; (ii) in connection with and prior to the acquisition, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Food Funding, funded advances of $325,500 to sellers on a secured basis, pursuant to certain loan documents and as bridge loans, which loans  were reduced by the proceeds of the iGourmet APA; (iii) the purchase for $200,000 of certain debt owed by sellers, to be paid out of, if  available, Innovative Gourmet’s cash flow; (iv) potential contingent liability allocation for a percentage of sellers’ approximately $2,300,000 of certain debt, not purchased or assumed by Innovative Gourmet, which  under certain circumstances, Innovative Gourmet may determine to pay; and (v) additional purchase price consideration of (a) up to a maximum of $1,500,000, if EBITDA of Innovative Gourmet reaches $800,000 thousand in 2018, (b) up to a maximum of $1,750,000, if EBITDA of Innovative Gourmet in 2019 exceeds its EBITDA in 2018 by at least 20% and if its EBITDA reaches $5,000,000; and (c) up to a maximum of $2,125,000, if EBITDA of Innovative Gourmet in 2020 exceeds its EBITDA in 2019 by at least 20% and if its EBITDA reaches $8,000,000. The additional purchase price consolidation milestone for 2018 was not met. The EBITDA based earnout shall be paid 37.5% in cash, 25% in Innovative Food Holdings shares valued at the time of the closing of this transaction and 37.5%, at Innovative Gourmet’s option, in Innovative Food Holdings shares valued at the time of the payment of the earnout or in cash. 

In connection with the iGourmet APA, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Food Funding, purchased seller’s senior secured note at a price of approximately $1,187,000, pursuant to the terms of a Loan Sale Agreement with UPS Capital Business Credit.  That note was reduced by the proceeds of the iGourmet APA as disclosed in (i) above.

13

The acquisition date estimated fair value of the consideration transferred totaled $4,151,243. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company made the following purchase price adjustments: (i) accrued an additional $286,239 for accounts payable prior to acquisition; (ii) decreased contingent liabilities by the amount of $392,900 for earnout payments not made; (iii) decreased accounts receivable in the amount of $108,893 for amounts not collected; and (4) increased deferred revenue in the amount of $231,169 for shipments made. These adjustments increased the value of the acquisition to $4,275,751. At December 31, 2018, the value of the acquisition consisted of the following:

Initial purchase price	$	1,500,000
Cash payable in connection with transaction		1,863,443
Accounts payable		286,239
Deferred revenue		231,169
Contingent liabilities		394,900
Total purchase price	$	4,275,751
Tangible assets acquired	$	842,458
Intangible assets acquired		2,970,600
Goodwill acquired		462,693
Total purchase price	$	4,275,751

The above estimated fair value of the intangible assets is based on a third party valuation expert and also includes additional analysis by management based on a subsequent analysis of the transaction and adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill.  Going forward, adjustments to assets acquired or liabilities assumed subsequent to the purchase price allocation period will be made in our operating results in the period in which the adjustments are determined.

6. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Acquisition of Building

The Company owns a building and property located at 28411 Race Track Road, Bonita Springs, Florida 34135.  The property consists of approximately 1.1 acres of land and approximately 10,000 square feet of combined office and warehouse space, and was purchased as part of a bank short sale.  The Company moved its operations to these premises on July 15, 2013. The purchase price of the property was $792,758.

On May 14, 2015, the Company purchased a building and property located at 2528 S. 27th Avenue, Broadview, Illinois 60155. The property consists of approximately 1.33 acres of land and approximately 28,711 square feet of combined office and warehouse space. The purchase price of $914,350 was initially financed primarily by a draw-down of $900,000 on the Company’s credit facility with Fifth Third Bank. On May 29, 2015, a permanent financing facility was provided by Fifth Third Bank in the form of a loan in the amount of $980,000. $900,000 of this amount was used to pay the balance of the credit facility; the additional $80,000 was used for refrigeration and other improvements at the property. The interest on the loan is at the LIBOR rate plus 3.0%.  The building is used for office and warehouse space primarily for the Company’s Artisan subsidiary. We have also recently completed an additional property improvement and upgrade buildout at the Artisan building which include a fully functional commercial test kitchen and training center and conference room. The test kitchen and training room will be used by Artisan and other subsidiaries of the Company for the purposes of new product testing and development and approval, Quality Assurance and Quality Control as well as sales presentations and customer demonstrations. In addition, we recently added a packaging room to the Artisan building, which is built to FDA, FSMA and SQF food safety standards and purchased new, technologically advanced semi-automated fillers for the packaging room. The packaging room addition will allow for expansion of private label product lines as well as packing of organic, non GMO, diet specific and other specialty foods. The test kitchen, packaging room and additional improvements were financed by a loan from Fifth Third Bank.

Depreciation on the building and the related improvements, furniture, fixtures, and equipment began when the Company occupied the facility in October, 2015.

A summary of property and equipment at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, was as follows:

At June 30, 2019 the Company has investments in six food related companies in the aggregate amount of $395,025.  The Company does not have significant influence over the operations of these companies.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company invested $25,000 in food related companies. The Company’s investments may take the form of debt, equity, or equity in the future including convertible notes and other instruments which provide for future equity under various scenarios including subsequent financings or initial public offerings. The Company has evaluated the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 325-20 Investments – Other, in determining to account for the investment using the cost method since the equity securities are not marketable and do not give the Company significant influence. 

Also during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company converted accounts payable in the amount of $15,000 and $30,500, respectively, into an equity investment in a food related company.

As detailed in ASC 350, the Company tests for goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable.  As detailed in ASC 350-20-35-3A, in performing its testing for goodwill impairment, management has completed a qualitative analysis to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. To complete this review, management followed the steps in ASC 350-20-35-3C to evaluate the fair value of goodwill and considered all known events and circumstances that might trigger an impairment of goodwill. The analysis completed in 2018 determined that there was no impairment to goodwill assets.

Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates include certain assumptions related to doubtful accounts receivable, stock-based services, valuation of financial instruments, operating right of use assets and liabilities, and income taxes. On an on-going basis, we evaluate these estimates, including those related to revenue recognition and concentration of credit risk. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Accounts subject to estimate and judgements are accounts receivable reserves, income taxes, intangible assets, contingent liabilities, and equity based instruments. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe our estimates have not been materially inaccurate in past years, and our assumptions are not likely to change in the foreseeable future. 

Doubtful Accounts Receivable

The Company maintained an allowance in the amount of $152,397 for doubtful accounts receivable at June 30, 2019, and $155,176 at December 31, 2018. The Company has an operational relationship of several years with our major customers, and we believe this experience provides us with a solid foundation from which to estimate our expected losses on accounts receivable. Should our sales mix change or if we develop new lines of business or new customers, these estimates and our estimation process will change accordingly. These estimates have been accurate in the past. 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The estimated fair values approximate their carrying value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments or the stated interest rates are indicative of market interest rates. These fair values have historically varied due to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of valuation.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of applicable tax law. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance based on the amount of tax benefits that, based on available evidence, is not expected to be realized.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) and short-term and long-term lease liabilities are included on the face of the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Finance lease ROU assets are presented within other assets, and finance lease liabilities are presented within accrued liabilities.

ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also excludes lease incentives. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for as a single lease component. For lease agreements with terms less than 12 months, the Company has elected the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption, and it recognizes such lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Background

We were initially formed in June 1979 as Alpha Solarco Inc., a Colorado corporation. From June 1979 through February 2003, we were either inactive or involved in discontinued business ventures. We changed our name to Fiber Application Systems Technology, Ltd in February 2003. In January 2004, we changed our state of incorporation by merging into Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. (IVFH), a Florida corporation formed for that purpose. As a result of the merger, we changed our name to that of Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. In January 2004, we also acquired Food Innovations, Inc. (“FII” or “Food Innovations”), a Florida corporation, for 500,000 shares of our common stock.

On November 2, 2012, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Haley Acquisition”) with The Haley Group, LLC whereby we acquired all existing assets of The Haley Group, LLC and its customers. The Haley Acquisition was valued at a total cost of $119,645.  On June 30, 2014, pursuant to a purchase agreement, the Company purchased 100% of the membership interest of Organic Food Brokers, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“OFB”), for $300,000, 100,000 four year options at a price of $1.46 per share, and up to an additional $225,000 in earn-outs if certain milestones are met. Pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of January 1, 2017 the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Oasis Sales Corp. (“Oasis”), purchased substantially all of the assets of Oasis Sales and Marketing, L.L.C. for $300,000 cash;  a $200,000 structured equity instrument which can be paid in cash or shares of the Company stock at the Company’s option, anytime under certain conditions, or is automatically payable via the issuance of 200,000 shares if the Company’s shares close above $1.00 for ten consecutive days; a $100,000 note;  and up to an additional $400,000 in earn-outs over two years if certain milestones are met.  The Agreement also contains claw-back provisions if certain revenue conditions are not met.

On August 15, 2014, pursuant to a merger agreement, the Company acquired The Fresh Diet, Inc. (“FD”).  Effective February 23, 2016, the Company closed a transaction to sell 90% of our ownership in FD for consideration consisting primarily of a restructuring of our loans, which includes the ability to convert to additional amounts of FD under certain circumstances. There is no continuing cash inflows or outflows from or to the discontinued operations. 

Effective January 24, 2018, pursuant to an asset acquisition agreement (the “iGourmet Asset Acquisition Agreement”), our wholly-owned subsidiary, Innovative Gourmet, LLC acquired substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of iGourmet LLC and iGourmet NY LLC, privately-held New York limited liability companies located in West Pittston, Pennsylvania  and engaged in the sale, marketing, and distribution of specialty food and specialty food items through www.igourmet.com, online marketplaces, additional  direct-to-consumer platforms, distribution to foodservice, retail stores and other wholesale accounts, pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement. The consideration for and in connection with the acquisition consisted of:  (i) $1,500,000, which satisfied or reduced secured, priority and administrative debt of Sellers; (ii) in connection with and prior to the acquisition, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Food Funding, LLC (“Food Funding”), funded advances of $325,000 to Sellers on a secured basis, pursuant to certain loan documents and as bridge loans, which loans  were reduced by the proceeds of the Asset Purchase Agreement; (iii) the purchase for $200,000 of certain debt owed by Sellers, to be paid out of, if  available, Innovative Gourmet’s cash flow; (iv) potential contingent liability allocation for a percentage of Sellers’ approximately $2,300,000 of certain debt, not purchased or assumed by Innovative Gourmet, which  under certain circumstances, Innovative Gourmet may determine to pay; and (v) additional purchase price consideration of (a) up to a maximum of $1,500,000, if EBITDA of Innovative Gourmet reaches $800,00 in 2018, (b) up to a maximum of $1,750,000, if EBITDA of Innovative Gourmet in 2019 exceeds its EBITDA in 2018 by at least 20% and if its EBITDA reaches $5,000,000; and (c) up to a maximum of $2,125,000, if EBITDA of Innovative Gourmet in 2020 exceeds its EBITDA in 2019 by at least 20% and if its EBITDA reaches $8,000,000. The EBITDA based earnout shall be paid 37.5% in cash, 25% in IVFH shares valued at the time of the closing of this transaction and 37.5%, at Innovative Gourmet’s option, in IVFH shares valued at the time of the payment of the earnout or in cash. The 2018 earnout milestone was not met. In connection with the acquisition, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Food Funding, purchased Seller’s senior secured note at a price of approximately $1,187,000, pursuant to the terms of a Loan Sale Agreement with UPS Capital Business Credit.  That note was reduced by the proceeds of the Asset Purchase Agreement.  See Item (i) above.

Effective July 6, 2018, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement between Mouth Foods, Inc. (“Mouth”) and our wholly-owned subsidiary M Innovations LLC (“M Innovations”)(the “MFI APA”), the Company acquired certain assets of Mouth from MFI (assignment for the benefit of creditors), LLC, in connection with a Delaware assignment proceeding. The MFI APA was accounted for as an acquisition of an ongoing business where the Company was treated as the acquirer and the acquired assets and assumed liabilities were recorded by the Company at their preliminary estimated fair values. Mouth, a privately held New York company operating out of Brooklyn, was an expert curator and online retailer of high quality specialty foods from small-batch makers in the US.

28

The consideration for and in connection with the acquisition consisted of (i) closing related cash payments of $208,355; (ii) additional revenue-based contingent liabilities valued by management at $100,000 related to certain future sales of purchased assets payable under the following terms: payment of 5% of certain revenues, with no payments on the first $500,000 of revenues and no payments on revenues after June 30, 2020;  (iii) additional revenue based contingent liabilities of up to $185,000 associated with the purchase of certain debt of the seller; and (iv) additional contingent liability consideration valued by management at approximately $20,000.

Transactions With a Major Customer

Transactions with a major customer and related economic dependence information is set forth immediately below and above in Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and also in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (1) following our discussion of Liquidity and Capital Resources, (2) Concentrations of Credit Risk in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and (3) as the fourth item under Risk Factors.

Relationship with U.S. Foods

We have historically sold the majority of our products through a distributor relationship between FII and Next Day Gourmet, L.P., a subsidiary of U.S. Foods, a leading broadline distributor. These sales amounted to $8,669,200 (62% of total sales) and $7,508,385 (63% of total sales) for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 respectively; and to $16,210,496 (61% of total sales) and $14,592,057 (64% of total sales) for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 respectively  On January 26, 2015 we executed a contract between Food Innovations, Inc., our wholly-owned subsidiary, and U.S. Foods, Inc.  The term of the Agreement is from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2016 and provides for a limited number of automatic annual renewals thereafter if no party gives the other 30 days’ notice of its intent not to renew.  Based on the terms, the Agreement was extended through 2018. Effective January 1, 2018 the Agreement was further amended to remove the cap on renewals, and provide for an unlimited number of additional 12-month terms unless either party notifies the other in writing, 30 days prior to the end date, of its intent not to renew. 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This discussion may contain forward looking-statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our future results could differ materially from the forward looking-statements discussed in this report. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere in the report.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2018

Revenue

Revenue increased by $1,936,448 or approximately 16% to $13,925,451 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $11,989,003 in the prior year. The increase in revenues was attributable to an increase in revenues associated with foodservice and ecommerce offset partially by a decrease in revenues associated with national brand management.

We continue to assess the potential of new revenue sources from the manufacture and sale of proprietary food products, private label products and additional sales channel opportunities in both the foodservice and consumer space and will implement a strategy which based on our analysis provides the most beneficial opportunity for growth.

Any changes in the food distribution and specialty foods operating landscape that materially hinders our current ability and/or cost to deliver our products to our customers could potentially cause a material impact on our net revenue and gross margin and, therefore, our profitability and cash flows could be adversely affected.

Currently, a small portion of our revenues comes from imported products or international sales. Our current sales from such markets may be hampered and negatively impacted by any economic tariffs that may be imposed in the United States or in foreign countries.

See “Transactions with Major Customers” and the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) mandated FR-60 disclosures following the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section for a further discussion of the significant customer concentrations, loss of significant customer, critical accounting policies and estimates, and other factors that could affect future results.

Cost of goods sold

Our cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $9,862,369, an increase of $1,452,884 or approximately 17% compared to cost of goods sold of $8,409,485 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Cost of goods sold is made up of the following expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019: cost of goods of specialty, meat, game, cheese, seafood, poultry and other sales categories in the amount of $6,919,221; and shipping, delivery, handling, and purchase allowance expenses in the amount of $2,943,148. Total gross margin was approximately 29.2% of sales in 2019 compared to approximately 29.9% of sales in 2018.  The increase in cost of goods sold is primary attributable to an increase in sales.  The decrease in gross margins from 2018 are primarily attributable to variation in product and revenue mix across our various selling channels including a decrease in higher gross margin revenues associated with National Brand Management.

In 2019, we continued to price our products in order to increase sales, gain market share and increase the number of our end users and ecommerce customers. We were successful in both increasing sales and increasing market share and increasing the number of our ecommerce customers.  We currently expect, if market conditions and our product revenue mix remain constant, that our cost of goods sold may increase. 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $946,850 or approximately 30.8% to $4,017,829 during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $3,070,979 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in payroll and related costs of approximately $640,631 (including an increase in non-cash compensation in the amount of $81,487), an increase in office, facility, and vehicle costs of $168,270, an increase in depreciation and amortization of $64,267, an increase in professional fees of $36,834, an increase in advertising and marketing of $26,147, and an increase in computer and IT costs in the amount of $37,507. The increase in payroll and related costs were driven mainly by increases associated with Mouth which was added in 2019, and increases in Company payroll associated mainly with additional personnel added to the Company to support sales growth. 

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased by $11,147 or approximately 32.5% to $23,149 during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $34,296 during the three months ended June 30, 2018.  Interest accrued or paid on the Company’s commercial loans and notes payable decreased by $10,831 to $24,792 during the current period, compared to $35,623 during the prior year; interest income increased by $316 to $1,643 during the current period compared to $1,327 during the prior period.

Net income

For the reasons above, the Company had net income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 of $22,104 which is a decrease of approximately $308,139 or 93.3% compared to a net income of $330,243 during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 includes a total of $421,989 in non-cash charges, including amortization of intangible assets in the amount of $250,567, depreciation expense of $75,314, and charges for non-cash compensation in the amount of $96,108.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

Revenue

Revenue increased by $3,879,119 or approximately 16.9% to $26,784,666 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $22,905,547 in the prior year. The increase in revenues was attributable to an increase in revenues associated with foodservice and ecommerce offset partially by a decrease in revenues associated with national brand management.

We continue to assess the potential of new revenue sources from the manufacture and sale of proprietary food products, private label products and additional sales channel opportunities in both the foodservice and consumer space and will implement a strategy which based on our analysis provides the most beneficial opportunity for growth.

Cost of goods sold

Our cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $18,743,749, an increase of $2,896,833 or approximately 18.3% compared to cost of goods sold of $15,846,916 for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Total gross margin was approximately 30.0% of sales in 2019 compared to approximately 30.8% of sales in 2018.  The increase in cost of goods sold is primary attributable to an increase in sales.  The decrease in gross margins from 2018 are primarily attributable to variation in product and revenue mix across our various selling channels including a decrease in higher gross margin revenues associated with National Brand Management.

In 2019, we continued to price our products in order to increase sales, gain market share and increase the number of our end users and ecommerce customers. We were successful in both increasing sales and increasing market share and increasing the number of our ecommerce customers.  We currently expect, if market conditions and our product revenue mix remain constant, that our cost of goods sold may increase. 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $1,732,030 or approximately 28.5% to $7,806,826 during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $6,074,796 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in payroll and related costs of approximately $1,274,756 (including an increase in non-cash compensation in the amount of $172,844), an increase in office, facility, and vehicle costs of $217,329, an increase in depreciation and amortization of $131,059, an increase in advertising and marketing of $92,207, an increase in travel and entertainment of $64,462, and an increase in computer and IT costs in the amount of $74,531.

The increase in payroll and related costs were driven mainly by increases associated with Mouth which was added in 2019, and increases in Company payroll associated mainly with additional personnel added to the Company to support sales growth. 

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net of interest income, decreased by $12,417 or approximately 20.3% to $48,627 during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $61,044 during the six months ended June 30, 2018.  Interest accrued or paid on the Company’s commercial loans and notes payable decreased by $13,767 to $51,788 during the current period, compared to $65,555 during the prior year; interest income decreased by $1,350 to $3,161 during the current period compared to $4,511 during the prior period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources at June 30, 2019

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had current assets of $8,592,310, consisting of cash and cash equivalents of $3,158,853; trade accounts receivable of $3,018,700; inventory of $2,217,174; and other current assets of $197,583.  Also at June 30, 2019, the Company had current liabilities of $3,980,976, consisting of trade payables and accrued liabilities of $2,043,215; accrued interest of $18,378; deferred revenue of $280,928; lease liabilities – operating leases, current portion of $197,014; lease liabilities – financing leases, current portion of $20,605; current portion of notes payable of $901,728; and current portion of contingent liabilities of $519,108.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company had cash used in operating activities of $858,947.  Cash used in operations consisted of the Company’s consolidated net income of $185,464 plus non-cash compensation in the amount of $196,252; depreciation and amortization of $631,026; and amortization of right-of-use asset of $88,644. These amounts were partially offset by a decrease in provision for doubtful accounts of $2,779 and by a change in the components of current assets and liabilities in the amount of $1,957,544.   

The Company had cash used in investing activities of $134,329 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, which consisted of cash paid in the for the acquisition of property and equipment of $85,829; cash paid for website development of $23,500; and cash paid in connection with an investment in a food-related company of $25,000.

The Company had net working capital of $4,611,334 as of June 30, 2019. The Company had cash used by operations during the six months ended June 30, 2019 in the amount of $858,947. This compares to cash generated from operating activities of $384,434 during the six months ended June 30, 2018.  The Company intends to continue to focus on increasing market share and cash flow from operations by focusing its sales activities on specific market segments and new product lines.  Currently, we do not have any material long-term obligations other than those described in Notes 12, 13, and 14 to the financial statements included in this report. As we seek to increase our sales of new items and enter new markets, acquire new businesses as well as identify new and other consumer and food service oriented products and services, we may use existing cash reserves, long-term financing, or other means to finance such diversification. 

If the Company’s cash flow from operations is insufficient to fully implement its business plan, the Company may require additional financing in order to execute its operating plan.  The Company cannot predict whether this additional financing will be in the form of equity or debt, or be in another form. The Company may not be able to obtain the necessary additional capital on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. 

In any of these events, the Company may be unable to implement its current plans for expansion, repay its debt obligations as they become due or respond to competitive pressures, any of which circumstances would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

2019 Plans

During 2019, in addition to our efforts to increase sales in our existing foodservice operations we plan to attempt to expand our business by expanding our focus to additional specialty foods markets in both the consumer and foodservice sector, exploring potential acquisition and partnership opportunities and continuing to extend our focus in the specialty food market through the growth of the Company’s existing sales channels and through a variety of additional sales channel relationships which are currently being explored. In addition, we are currently exploring the introduction of a variety of new product categories and new product lines, including private label products and proprietary branded products to leverage our existing foodservice and consumer customer base.

32

Furthermore, the Company intends to expand its activities in the direct to consumer space and the overall consumer packaged goods (CPG) space through leveraging the assets acquired from iGourmet LLC and Mouth Foods, Inc. and through leveraging its overall capabilities in the consumer space.

No assurances can be given that any of these plans will come to fruition or that if implemented that they will necessarily yield positive results.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues, or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Inflation

In the opinion of management, inflation has not had a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of its operations.

RISK FACTORS

The Company’s business and success is subject to numerous risk factors as detailed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 which is available at no cost at www.sec.gov.

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, among other things, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-(f) under the Exchange Act.) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, have identified a control deficiency regarding the integration of two acquisitions in 2018 and as a result management has concluded our internal control over financial reporting was ineffective at June 30, 2019 at the reasonable assurance level. Management of the Company believes that this deficiency is primarily due to the smaller size of the company’s accounting staff in relation to certain continued system integrations related to the 2018 acquisitions of certain assets of iGourmet LLC and Mouth Foods, Inc. To address this matter, we have expanded our accounting staff and we expect to retain additional qualified personnel to continue to remediate this control deficiency in the future. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15 that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
