Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of presentation	Note 1 – Basis of presentation The consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include all of the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Lifeway’s wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively “Lifeway” or the “Company”). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements Lifeway has restated herein its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. In addition, the Company has restated its unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements for the first three quarters of the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, as presented in Note 17 – Correction of previously issued unaudited consolidated financial statements. Lifeway has also restated impacted amounts within the notes to the consolidated financial statements, as applicable. Restatement Background During the preparation of the fiscal 2021 consolidated financial statements, the Company identified an error in the accounting for its deferred income tax liabilities and goodwill. Specifically, in connection with its 2009 acquisition of Fresh Made, Inc., the Company did not record a deferred income tax liability and corresponding increase to goodwill related to the difference in the book and income tax bases for the $3,700 Fresh Made indefinite-lived brand name intangible asset acquired. The error resulted in a $1,180 understatement- of both deferred income tax liabilities and goodwill of as of January 1, 2020. The Restatement had no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, or Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity during 2021 and 2020. The impact of the Restatement on periods prior to 2020 had no effect on opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2020. The following table summarizes the impact of the restatement adjustments on the Consolidated Balance Sheet for the year ended December 31, 2020. Schedule of restatement adjustments December 31, 2020 As Previously Reported Restatement Adjustment As Restated Current assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 7,926 $ – $ 7,926 Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts and discounts & allowances of $ 1,350 8,002 – 8,002 Inventories, net 6,930 – 6,930 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 1,163 – 1,163 Refundable income taxes 31 – 31 Total current assets 24,052 – 24,052 Property, plant and equipment, net 21,048 – 21,048 Operating lease right-of use asset 345 – 345 Intangible assets Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles 12,824 1,180 14,004 Other intangible assets, net – – – Total intangible assets 12,824 1,180 14,004 Other Assets 1,800 – 1,800 Total assets $ 60,069 $ 1,180 $ 61,249 Current liabilities Accounts payable $ 5,592 – $ 5,592 Accrued expenses 2,196 – 2,196 Accrued income taxes 653 – 653 Total current liabilities 8,441 – 8,441 Line of credit 2,768 – 2,768 Operating lease liabilities 165 – 165 Deferred income taxes, net 1,764 1,180 2,944 Other long-term liabilities 77 – 77 Total liabilities 13,215 1,180 14,395 Commitments and contingencies – – – Stockholders’ equity Preferred stock, no 2,500 none – – – Common stock, no 40,000 17,274 15,604 6,509 – 6,509 Paid-in capital 2,600 – 2,600 Treasury stock, at cost (12,450 ) – (12,450 ) Retained earnings 50,195 – 50,195 Total stockholders’ equity 46,854 – 46,854 Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity $ 60,069 $ 1,180 $ 61,249

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of significant accounting policies	Note 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to use judgement 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 consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made in preparing the consolidated financial statements include the reserve for promotional allowances, the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, stock-based and incentive compensation, and deferred income taxes. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company completed an assessment of the useful life of its indefinite-lived brand name intangible asset and determined that it should adjust the estimated useful life from an indefinite length to 15 15 Going Concern The Company follows the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern which requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosure in certain circumstances. There were no conditions or events, when considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Cash and cash equivalents Lifeway considers cash and all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates or equals fair value due to their short-term nature. Lifeway from time to time may have bank deposits in excess of insurance limits of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. Lifeway has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes the financial risks associated with these financial instruments are minimal. The Company has $ 580 Revenue Recognition Lifeway sells food and beverage products across select product categories to customers predominantly within the United States (see Note 12 - Segments, Products and Customers). The Company also sells bulk cream, a byproduct of its fluid milk manufacturing process. In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Lifeway recognizes revenue when control over the products transfers to its customers, which generally occurs upon delivery to its customers or their common carriers. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services, using the five-step method required by ASC 606. For the Company, the contract is the approved sales order, which may also be supplemented by other agreements that formalize various terms and conditions with customers. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer, which is the delivery of food products which provide immediate benefit to the customer. Lifeway accounts for product shipping and handling as fulfillment activities with revenues for these activities recorded within net revenue and costs recorded within cost of goods sold. Any taxes collected on behalf of government authorities are excluded from net revenues. Variable consideration, which typically includes volume-based rebates, known or expected pricing or revenue adjustments, such as trade discounts, allowances for non-saleable products, product returns, trade incentives and coupon redemption, is estimated utilizing the most likely amount method. Key sales terms, such as pricing and quantities ordered, are established on a frequent basis such that most customer arrangements and related incentives have a one year or shorter duration. As such, the Company does not capitalize contract inception costs and it capitalizes product fulfillment costs in accordance with U.S. GAAP and its inventory policies. Lifeway does not have any significant deferred revenue or unbilled receivables at the end of a period. It generally does not receive noncash consideration for the sale of goods, nor does it grant payment financing terms greater than one year. Accounts Receivable Lifeway provides credit terms to customers in-line with industry standards and maintain allowances for potential credit losses based on historical experience. Customer balances are written off after all collection efforts are exhausted. Estimated product returns, which have not been material, are deducted from sales at the time of revenue recognition. The Company does not charge interest on past due accounts receivable. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, valued on a first in, first out basis (“FIFO”). The costs of finished goods inventories include raw materials, direct labor, and overhead costs. Inventories are stated net of reserves for excess or obsolete inventory. Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Schedule Of Property And Equipment, Estimated Useful Lives Asset Useful Life Buildings and improvements 10 – 39 years Machinery and equipment 5 – 12 years Office equipment 3 – 7 years Vehicles 5 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of expected useful life or lease term The Company performs impairment tests when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance, which do not improve or extend the life of the assets, are expensed as incurred. Intangible Assets Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and other identifiable intangible assets acquired. Lifeway estimates the fair value of its one reporting unit annually (as of December 31), or more frequently if certain conditions exist, using a combination of the fair values derived from both the income approach and the market approach. Under the income approach, it calculates the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on the Company’s estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. The discount rate used to determine the present value of future cash flows is based on the weighted-average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with business-specific characteristics and the uncertainty related to the business's ability to execute on the projected cash flows. The market approach estimates fair value based on market multiples of revenue and earnings derived from comparable publicly traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics. The resulting fair value, based on the income and market approaches, is then compared to the carrying value to determine if impairment is necessary. Lifeway assesses whether indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment exists using both qualitative and quantitative assessments annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently, if certain conditions exist. The qualitative assessment involves determining whether events or circumstances exist that indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If, based on this qualitative assessment, the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount or if it elects not to perform a qualitative assessment, a quantitative assessment is performed to determine whether an indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment exists. Lifeway tests the indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment by comparing the carrying value to the fair value based on current revenue projections of the related operations, under the relief from royalty method. Any excess of the carrying value over the amount of fair value is recognized as an impairment. Any such impairment would be recognized in full in the reporting period in which it has been identified. Definite lived intangible assets Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimate useful lives as follows: Schedule Of Intangible Assets Useful Lives Asset Useful Life Recipes 4 Brand names 8 15 Formula 10 Customer lists 5 10 Customer relationships 15 All amortization expense related to intangible assets is recorded in Amortization expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Amortizable intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Lifeway conducts more frequent impairment assessments if certain conditions exist, such as a change in the competitive landscape, any internal decisions to pursue new or different strategies, a loss of a significant customer, or a significant change in the market place including changes in the prices paid for its products or changes in the size of the market for its products. If an evaluation of the undiscounted cash flows indicates impairment, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value, which is generally based on discounted future cash flows. If the estimated remaining useful life of an intangible asset is changed, the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over the revised remaining useful life. Fair value measurements Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement: Level 1 – Level 2 – Level 3. Lifeway’s financial assets and liabilities that are not carried at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and revolving line of credit for which carrying value approximates fair value. The Company records its investments in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company has one investment without a readily determinable fair value which is recorded at $ 1,800 1,800 1,731 Income taxes The Provision for income taxes includes federal, state, local and foreign income taxes currently payable, and those deferred because of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. The principal sources of temporary differences are different depreciation and amortization methods for financial statement and tax purposes, incentive compensation, unrealized gain, capitalization of indirect inventory costs for tax purposes, reserves for excess and obsolete inventory and the allowance for doubtful accounts. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Deferred income tax expense or benefit is based on the changes in the asset or liability from period to period. Lifeway analyzes filing positions in all the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. The Company recognizes the income tax benefit from an uncertain tax position when it is more likely than not that, based on technical merits, the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes. It applies a more likely than not threshold to the recognition and derecognition of uncertain tax positions. Accordingly, Lifeway recognizes the amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being ultimately realized upon settlement. Future changes in judgment related to the expected ultimate resolution of uncertain tax positions will affect earnings in the period of such change. For those income tax positions where it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the financial statements. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits can change due to audit settlements, tax examination activities, statute expirations and the recognition and measurement criteria under accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Lifeway recognizes penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision (benefit) for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. Share-based compensation Share-based compensation expense is recognized for equity awards over the vesting period based on their grant date fair value. The fair value of restricted stock awards is equal to the closing price of Lifeway’s stock on the date of grant. The Company does not estimate forfeitures in measuring the grant date fair value, but rather account for forfeitures as they occur. The Company issues share based equity awards from treasury shares. Treasury stock Treasury stock is recorded using the cost method. Advertising costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and reported in Selling expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Expenditures totaled $ 3,267 2,407 Earnings (loss) per common share Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding and the effect of all dilutive common stock equivalents related to the Company’s outstanding stock-based compensation awards outstanding during the reporting period. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were 236 169 Recent accounting pronouncements Issued by not yet effective In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The new guidance provides a single comprehensive accounting model on revenue recognition for contracts with customers and requires that the acquirer in a business combination recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers). The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. With early adoption, the amendments are applied retrospectively to all business combinations for which the acquisition date occurs on or after the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period of adoption and prospectively to all business combinations that occur on or after the date of initial application. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The guidance will be effective prospectively as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, in November 2018 issued an amendment, ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, and in November 2019 issued two amendments, ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates, and ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. The series of new guidance amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The guidance should be applied on either a prospective transition or modified-retrospective approach depending on the subtopic. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets	Note 5 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets Prior year amounts have been restated to reflect the correction of errors discussed in Note 1 – Basis of presentation. Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows: Schedule of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets Goodwill Brand Names Total Balance at December 31, 2020, before accumulated impairment loses (As Restated) $ 11,548 $ 3,700 $ 15,248 Accumulated impairment loses (1,244 ) – (1,244 ) Balance at December 31, 2020 (As Restated) 10,304 3,700 14,004 Acquisition (1) 1,400 – 1,400 Balance at December 31, 2021 $ 11,704 $ 3,700 $ 15,404 ____________ (1) Refer to Note 16 for additional information regarding acquisition-related adjustments to goodwill Goodwill The Company performed the annual impairment assessment of goodwill for its single reporting unit as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, noting no impairment loss. Considerable management judgment is necessary to evaluate goodwill for impairment. Lifeway estimates fair value using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flows and market multiples analysis with respect to its single reporting unit. These valuation approaches are dependent upon a number of factors, including estimates of future growth rates, its cost of capital, capital expenditures, income tax rates, and other variables. Assumptions used in the Company’s valuations were consistent with its internal projections and operating plans. Lifeway’s discounted cash flows forecast could be negatively impacted by a change in the competitive landscape, any internal decisions to pursue new or different strategies, a loss of a significant customer, or a significant change in the market place including changes in the prices paid for its products or changes in the size of the market for its products. Additionally, under the market approach analysis, the Company used significant other observable inputs including various guideline company comparisons. Lifeway bases its fair value estimates on assumptions it believes to be reasonable, but which are unpredictable and inherently uncertain. Changes in these estimates or assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and the conclusions of the quantitative goodwill test for the Company’s one reporting unit. Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets The Company performed the annual impairment assessment on the indefinite-lived intangible asset as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, resulting in no impairment losses. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company completed an assessment of the useful life of its indefinite-lived brand name intangible asset and determined it should adjust the estimated useful life from indefinite to 15 years. The change in accounting estimate will be effective January 1, 2022, at which time the Company will begin amortizing the asset over 15 years. The future amortization expense is included in the five-year intangible asset amortization table in the finite-lived intangible asset section below. Finite-lived Intangible Assets The gross carrying amounts and accumulated amortization of finite-lived intangible assets consisted of the following: Schedule of finite-lived intangible assets December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Gross Net Gross Net Carrying Accumulated Carrying Carrying Accumulated Carrying Amount Amortization Amount Amount Amortization Amount Recipes $ 44 $ (44 ) $ – $ 44 $ (44 ) $ – Customer lists and other customer related intangibles 4,529 (4,529 ) – 4,529 (4,529 ) – Customer relationship 3,385 (1,052 ) 2,333 985 (985 ) – Brand names 4,248 (2,303 ) 1,945 2,248 (2,248 ) – Formula 438 (438 ) – 438 (438 ) – Total finite lived intangible assets $ 12,644 $ (8,366 ) $ 4,278 $ 8,244 $ (8,244 ) $ – Estimated amortization expense on intangible assets for the next five years is as follows: Schedule of amortization expense on intangible assets Year Amortization 2022 $ 540 2023 $ 540 2024 $ 540 2025 $ 540 2026 $ 540

The Third Modification amends the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, as amended, by removing the monthly borrowing base reporting requirement effective September 30, 2020, including a covenant to maintain a quarterly minimum working capital financial covenant, as defined, of no less than $11.25 million each of the fiscal quarters commencing the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2020 through the expiration date, and eliminating the tier interest pricing structure. The Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement continues to provide Lifeway with a revolving line of credit up to a maximum of $ 5 5 June 30, 2025 On August 18, 2021, Lifeway entered into the Fourth Modification (the “Fourth Modification”) to the Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (as amended and modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement” and, as amended and modified by the Fourth Modification, the “Modified Credit Agreement”) with its existing lender and certain of its subsidiaries.

The Modified Credit Agreement continues to provide for events of default, including failure to repay principal and interest when due and failure to perform or violation of the provisions or covenants of the agreement, as a result of which amounts due under the Modified Credit Agreement may be accelerated. The loans and all other amounts due and owed under the Credit Agreement and related documents are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets.

Leases
Leases	Note 8 – Leases Lifeway had operating leases for two retail stores for its Lifeway Kefir Shop subsidiary which included fixed base rent payments as well as variable rent payments to reimburse the landlord for operating expenses and taxes. The Company terminated the operating leases during 2021. The Company terminated its office space leases in September 2020. The Company also leases certain machinery and equipment with fixed base rent payments and variable costs based on usage. Remaining lease terms for these leases range from less than one year to five years. Some of its leases include options to extend the leases for up to five years and have been included in its calculation of the right-of-use asset and lease liabilities. Lifeway includes only fixed payments for lease components in the measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Variable lease payments are those that vary because of changes in facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement date, other than the passage of time. There are no residual value guarantees. Lifeway does not currently have leases which meet the finance lease classification as defined under ASC 842. The Company does not record leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the balance sheet. Expense for these short-term leases is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Total lease expense was $ 304 440 Lifeway treats contracts as a lease when the contract conveys the right to use a physically distinct asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration, it directs the use of the asset and obtain substantially all the economic benefits of the asset. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are measured and recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. Lifeway has elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components into a single component for all of its leases. For many of its leases such as real estate leases, the Company is unable to determine an implicit rate; therefore, it uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments for those leases. Lifeway includes options to extend or terminate the lease in the measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise such options. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Future maturities of lease liabilities were as follows: Future maturities of lease liabilities Year Operating Leases 2022 $ 149 2023 47 2024 30 2025 18 Thereafter 6 Total lease payments 250 Less: Interest (34 ) Present value of lease liabilities $ 216 The weighted-average remaining lease term for its operating leases was 2.4 12.60 198

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies Litigation Lifeway is engaged in various legal actions, claims, audits, and proceedings arising in the normal course of business, including commercial disputes, product liabilities, intellectual property matters and employment-related matters resulting from its business activities. Lifeway records accruals for outstanding legal matters when it believes it is probable that a loss will be incurred, and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates, on a periodic basis, developments in legal matters that could affect the amount of any accrual and developments that would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. If a loss contingency is not both probable and estimable, it does not establish an accrued liability. Currently, none of its accruals for outstanding legal matters are material individually or in the aggregate to its financial position and it is management’s opinion that the ultimate resolution of these outstanding legal matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. However, if the Company is ultimately required to make payments in connection with an adverse outcome, it is possible that such contingency could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Lifeway’s contingencies are subject to substantial uncertainties, including for each such contingency the following, among other factors: (i) the procedural status of the case; (ii) whether the case has or may be certified as a class action suit; (iii) the outcome of preliminary motions; (iv) the impact of discovery; (v) whether there are significant factual issues to be determined or resolved; (vi) whether the proceedings involve a large number of parties and/or parties and claims in multiple jurisdictions or jurisdictions in which the relevant laws are complex or unclear; (vii) the extent of potential damages, which are often unspecified or indeterminate; and (viii) the status of settlement discussions, if any, and the settlement posture of the parties. Consequently, Lifeway cannot predict with any reasonable certainty the timing or outcome of such contingencies, and it is unable to estimate a possible loss or range of loss.

Lifeway measures the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The expected term of options granted was based on the weighted average time of vesting and the end of the contractual term. The Company utilized this simplified method as it did not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term. Restricted Stock Awards A Restricted Stock Award (“RSA”) represents the right to receive one share of common stock in the future. RSAs have no exercise price. The grant date fair value of the awards is equal to the Company’s closing stock price on the grant date. The following table summarizes RSA activity during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Covid-19
COVID-19	Note 15 – COVID-19 The ultimate impact that the COVID-19 pandemic or any future pandemic or disease outbreak will have on Lifeway’s business and its consolidated results of operations is uncertain. To date, the Company has seen increased customer and consumer demand for its products. Lifeway has not experienced significant supply chain disruptions or labor supply shortages and it has continued to be able to satisfy customer and consumer demand for its products. However, COVID-19 pandemic, or any future pandemic, may limit the availability of, or increase the cost of, employees, ingredients, packaging and other inputs necessary to produce Lifeway’s products, and its operations may be negatively impacted. In 2021, the Company’s costs increased primarily due to inflationary price increases of milk, other ingredients, packaging materials, and freight. However, because of market conditions or for competitive reasons, the Company’s pricing actions may sometimes lag input cost changes, or it may not be able to pass along the full effect of increases in raw materials and other input costs as it incurs them. In 2022, social distancing, shelter-in-place and work-from-home mandates and recommendations have begun to be ease. The increased customer demand the Company has realized over the past two years as consumers increased their at-home consumption and e-commerce purchasing during the COVID-19 pandemic may change or decrease due to the decrease in social distancing and stay-at-home and work-from-home mandates and recommendations. Lifeway is unable to predict the nature and timing of when such change may occur, if at all. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business will depend on many factors, including, among others, whether additional waves of COVID-19 or different variants of COVID-19 will affect the United States and other markets and the duration of any social distancing and stay home and work from home mandates or recommendations that may occur as a result of such COVID-19 wave or variant; the Company’s ability and the ability of its suppliers to continue to maintain production despite unprecedented demand in the food industry, supply chain disruptions, tight labor markets and increased raw material and packaging costs; and the extent to which macroeconomic conditions resulting from the pandemic and the pace of the subsequent recovery may impact consumer eating and shopping habits. The Company cannot predict the duration or scope of the disruption or the impact of any recovery from the impacts of COVID-19. Therefore, the financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Business Acquisition	Note 16 – Business Acquisition On August 18, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets of Glen Oaks Farms Inc. for a purchase price of $ 5,800 5,000 Management considers the purchase of Glen Oaks Farms Inc. to consist of inputs, processes and outputs and has accounted for the purchase as a business combination. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting and the results of operations were included in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations from the date of acquisition. Included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations are the acquisition’s net sales of $ 2,223 384 83 The following table summarizes the preliminary purchase price allocation of the fair value of intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed: Schedule of purchase price allocation $ Customer relationships 2,400 Brand name 2,000 Goodwill 1,400 Assets acquired 5,800 Liabilities assumed – Total purchase price 5,800 The fair value for the customer relationships at the acquisition date were determined using the excess earnings method under the income approach. The brand name fair value was determined using the relief from royalty method. The customer relationship and brand name intangible assets have an estimated life of 15 years and will be amortized over that period. The fair value measurements of intangible assets are based on significant unobservable inputs, and thus represent Level 3 inputs. Significant assumptions used in assessing the fair values of intangible assets include discounted future cash flows, customer attrition rates, and royalty rates. Goodwill arises principally from category expansion opportunities to better serve its regional and national customers. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition is tax deductible.

Summary of significant accounting policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Use of estimates	Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to use judgement 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 consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made in preparing the consolidated financial statements include the reserve for promotional allowances, the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, stock-based and incentive compensation, and deferred income taxes. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company completed an assessment of the useful life of its indefinite-lived brand name intangible asset and determined that it should adjust the estimated useful life from an indefinite length to 15 15
Going Concern	Going Concern The Company follows the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern which requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosure in certain circumstances. There were no conditions or events, when considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued.
Cash and cash equivalents	Cash and cash equivalents Lifeway considers cash and all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates or equals fair value due to their short-term nature. Lifeway from time to time may have bank deposits in excess of insurance limits of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. Lifeway has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes the financial risks associated with these financial instruments are minimal. The Company has $ 580
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Lifeway sells food and beverage products across select product categories to customers predominantly within the United States (see Note 12 - Segments, Products and Customers). The Company also sells bulk cream, a byproduct of its fluid milk manufacturing process. In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Lifeway recognizes revenue when control over the products transfers to its customers, which generally occurs upon delivery to its customers or their common carriers. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services, using the five-step method required by ASC 606. For the Company, the contract is the approved sales order, which may also be supplemented by other agreements that formalize various terms and conditions with customers. The Company applies judgment in determining the customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including the customer’s historical payment experience or, in the case of a new customer, published credit and financial information pertaining to the customer. Performance obligations promised in a contract are identified based on the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer, which is the delivery of food products which provide immediate benefit to the customer. Lifeway accounts for product shipping and handling as fulfillment activities with revenues for these activities recorded within net revenue and costs recorded within cost of goods sold. Any taxes collected on behalf of government authorities are excluded from net revenues. Variable consideration, which typically includes volume-based rebates, known or expected pricing or revenue adjustments, such as trade discounts, allowances for non-saleable products, product returns, trade incentives and coupon redemption, is estimated utilizing the most likely amount method. Key sales terms, such as pricing and quantities ordered, are established on a frequent basis such that most customer arrangements and related incentives have a one year or shorter duration. As such, the Company does not capitalize contract inception costs and it capitalizes product fulfillment costs in accordance with U.S. GAAP and its inventory policies. Lifeway does not have any significant deferred revenue or unbilled receivables at the end of a period. It generally does not receive noncash consideration for the sale of goods, nor does it grant payment financing terms greater than one year.
Accounts Receivable	Accounts Receivable Lifeway provides credit terms to customers in-line with industry standards and maintain allowances for potential credit losses based on historical experience. Customer balances are written off after all collection efforts are exhausted. Estimated product returns, which have not been material, are deducted from sales at the time of revenue recognition. The Company does not charge interest on past due accounts receivable.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, valued on a first in, first out basis (“FIFO”). The costs of finished goods inventories include raw materials, direct labor, and overhead costs. Inventories are stated net of reserves for excess or obsolete inventory.
Property, plant and equipment	Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: Schedule Of Property And Equipment, Estimated Useful Lives Asset Useful Life Buildings and improvements 10 – 39 years Machinery and equipment 5 – 12 years Office equipment 3 – 7 years Vehicles 5 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of expected useful life or lease term The Company performs impairment tests when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance, which do not improve or extend the life of the assets, are expensed as incurred.
Intangible Assets	Intangible Assets Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and other identifiable intangible assets acquired. Lifeway estimates the fair value of its one reporting unit annually (as of December 31), or more frequently if certain conditions exist, using a combination of the fair values derived from both the income approach and the market approach. Under the income approach, it calculates the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on the Company’s estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. The discount rate used to determine the present value of future cash flows is based on the weighted-average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with business-specific characteristics and the uncertainty related to the business's ability to execute on the projected cash flows. The market approach estimates fair value based on market multiples of revenue and earnings derived from comparable publicly traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics. The resulting fair value, based on the income and market approaches, is then compared to the carrying value to determine if impairment is necessary. Lifeway assesses whether indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment exists using both qualitative and quantitative assessments annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently, if certain conditions exist. The qualitative assessment involves determining whether events or circumstances exist that indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If, based on this qualitative assessment, the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount or if it elects not to perform a qualitative assessment, a quantitative assessment is performed to determine whether an indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment exists. Lifeway tests the indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment by comparing the carrying value to the fair value based on current revenue projections of the related operations, under the relief from royalty method. Any excess of the carrying value over the amount of fair value is recognized as an impairment. Any such impairment would be recognized in full in the reporting period in which it has been identified. Definite lived intangible assets Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimate useful lives as follows: Schedule Of Intangible Assets Useful Lives Asset Useful Life Recipes 4 Brand names 8 15 Formula 10 Customer lists 5 10 Customer relationships 15 All amortization expense related to intangible assets is recorded in Amortization expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Amortizable intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Lifeway conducts more frequent impairment assessments if certain conditions exist, such as a change in the competitive landscape, any internal decisions to pursue new or different strategies, a loss of a significant customer, or a significant change in the market place including changes in the prices paid for its products or changes in the size of the market for its products. If an evaluation of the undiscounted cash flows indicates impairment, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value, which is generally based on discounted future cash flows. If the estimated remaining useful life of an intangible asset is changed, the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over the revised remaining useful life.
Fair value measurements	Fair value measurements Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement: Level 1 – Level 2 – Level 3. Lifeway’s financial assets and liabilities that are not carried at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and revolving line of credit for which carrying value approximates fair value. The Company records its investments in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company has one investment without a readily determinable fair value which is recorded at $ 1,800 1,800 1,731
Income taxes	Income taxes The Provision for income taxes includes federal, state, local and foreign income taxes currently payable, and those deferred because of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are computed based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. The principal sources of temporary differences are different depreciation and amortization methods for financial statement and tax purposes, incentive compensation, unrealized gain, capitalization of indirect inventory costs for tax purposes, reserves for excess and obsolete inventory and the allowance for doubtful accounts. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Deferred income tax expense or benefit is based on the changes in the asset or liability from period to period. Lifeway analyzes filing positions in all the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. The Company recognizes the income tax benefit from an uncertain tax position when it is more likely than not that, based on technical merits, the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes. It applies a more likely than not threshold to the recognition and derecognition of uncertain tax positions. Accordingly, Lifeway recognizes the amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being ultimately realized upon settlement. Future changes in judgment related to the expected ultimate resolution of uncertain tax positions will affect earnings in the period of such change. For those income tax positions where it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the financial statements. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits can change due to audit settlements, tax examination activities, statute expirations and the recognition and measurement criteria under accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Lifeway recognizes penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision (benefit) for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations.
Share-based compensation	Share-based compensation Share-based compensation expense is recognized for equity awards over the vesting period based on their grant date fair value. The fair value of restricted stock awards is equal to the closing price of Lifeway’s stock on the date of grant. The Company does not estimate forfeitures in measuring the grant date fair value, but rather account for forfeitures as they occur. The Company issues share based equity awards from treasury shares.
Treasury stock	Treasury stock Treasury stock is recorded using the cost method.
Advertising costs	Advertising costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and reported in Selling expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Expenditures totaled $ 3,267 2,407
Earnings (loss) per common share	Earnings (loss) per common share Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding and the effect of all dilutive common stock equivalents related to the Company’s outstanding stock-based compensation awards outstanding during the reporting period. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were 236 169
Recent accounting pronouncements	Recent accounting pronouncements Issued by not yet effective In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The new guidance provides a single comprehensive accounting model on revenue recognition for contracts with customers and requires that the acquirer in a business combination recognize and measure contract assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers). The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. With early adoption, the amendments are applied retrospectively to all business combinations for which the acquisition date occurs on or after the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period of adoption and prospectively to all business combinations that occur on or after the date of initial application. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The guidance will be effective prospectively as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, in November 2018 issued an amendment, ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, and in November 2019 issued two amendments, ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates, and ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. The series of new guidance amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The guidance should be applied on either a prospective transition or modified-retrospective approach depending on the subtopic. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the new guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements.
