SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION | 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION AMCON Distributing Company and Subsidiaries (“AMCON” or the “Company”) operate two business segments: ● Our wholesale distribution segment (“Wholesale Segment”) distributes consumer products and provides a full range of programs and services to our customers that are focused on helping them manage their business and increase their profitability. We serve customers in 31 states and primarily operate in the Central, Rocky Mountain, Mid-South and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. ● Our retail health food segment (“Retail Segment”) operates 18 health food retail stores located throughout the Midwest and Florida. WHOLESALE SEGMENT Our Wholesale Segment is one of the largest wholesale distributors in the United States, serving approximately 6,800 retail outlets including convenience stores, grocery stores, liquor stores, drug stores, and tobacco shops. We currently distribute over 17,000 different consumer products, including cigarettes and tobacco products, candy and other confectionery products, beverages, groceries, paper products, health and beauty care products, frozen and refrigerated products and institutional foodservice products. Convenience stores represent our largest customer category. In December 2022, Convenience Store News ranked us as the sixth (6th) largest convenience store distributor in the United States based on annual sales. Our Wholesale Segment offers retailers the ability to take advantage of manufacturer- and Company-sponsored sales and marketing programs, merchandising and product category management services, and the use of information systems and data services that are focused on minimizing retailers’ investment in inventory, while seeking to maximize their sales and profits. In addition, our wholesale distributing capabilities provide valuable services to both manufacturers of consumer products and convenience retailers. Manufacturers benefit from our broad retail coverage, inventory management, efficiency in processing small orders, and frequency of deliveries. Convenience retailers benefit from our distribution capabilities by gaining access to a broad product line, inventory optimization and merchandising expertise, information systems, and accessing trade credit. Our Wholesale Segment operates eight distribution centers located in Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee and West Virginia. These distribution centers, combined with cross-dock facilities, include approximately 1.1 million square feet of permanent floor space. Our principal suppliers include Altria, RJ Reynolds, ITG Brands, Hershey, Kellogg’s, Kraft Heinz, and Mars Wrigley. We also market private label lines of water, candy products, batteries, and other products. We do not maintain any long-term purchase contracts with our suppliers. As further described in Note 2, on February 3, 2023, the Company closed on its acquisition of Henry’s Foods, Inc. (“Henry’s”), purchasing substantially all of Henry’s operating assets for approximately $55.0 million. RETAIL SEGMENT Our Retail Segment, through our Healthy Edge Retail Group We operate within the natural products retail industry, which is a subset of the U.S. grocery industry. This industry includes conventional, natural, gourmet and specialty food markets, mass and discount retailers, warehouse clubs, health food stores, dietary supplement retailers, drug stores, farmers markets, mail order and online retailers, and multi-level marketers. Our Retail Segment operates 18 retail health food stores as Chamberlin’s Natural Foods, Akin’s Natural Foods, and Earth Origins Market. These stores carry over 35,000 different national and regionally branded and private label products including high-quality natural, organic, and specialty foods consisting of produce, baked goods, frozen foods, nutritional supplements, personal care items, and general merchandise. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company’s fiscal year ends on September 30 th ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which introduces a forward-looking approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The estimate of expected credit losses will require entities to incorporate considerations of historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This ASU also expands the disclosure requirements to enable users of financial statements to understand the entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating expected credit losses. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 (fiscal 2024 for the Company) with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently reviewing this ASU and its potential impact on our consolidated financial statements. |

ACQUISITION | |
ACQUISITION | 2. ACQUISITION On February 3, 2023, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary LOL Foods, Inc., paid approximately $55.0 million in cash to acquire substantially all of the operating assets of Henry’s, a wholesale distributor to convenience stores and other retail formats operating in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Wisconsin. In connection with the transaction, the Company also assumed certain operating liabilities totaling approximately $1.2 million, including approximately $0.2 million of operating leases. The transaction was funded with borrowings from the Company’s existing bank group. Costs to effectuate the acquisition were not significant and were expensed as incurred. Strategically, the acquisition expands the Company’s footprint in the North Central portion of the United States and enhances the product and service offerings available to its customer base. The Company paid cash consideration for the net acquired assets and their related acquisition date fair values measured in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805 – Business Combinations The following purchase price allocation reflects the Company’s provisional (preliminary) estimates and analyses and is subject to change during the measurement period, which is generally one year from the acquisition date. All amounts are provisional and incomplete at the reporting date and may change materially in subsequent reporting periods during the measurement period while additional information is obtained, particularly as it relates to certain accounts receivable, property and equipment, inventory, other intangible assets and certain liability balances while final appraisal and valuation work is completed. Accordingly, any changes to the Company’s provisional recording of the transaction may materially impact its financial statements, including but not limited to its consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows, and related disclosures. All assets acquired and operating liabilities assumed have been recorded as a component of our Wholesale Segment. Provisional (preliminary) amounts of identifiable assets and liabilities assumed: Accounts receivable $ 8,237,652 Inventories 16,060,965 Prepaid and other assets 400,964 Property and equipment 27,216,323 Other intangible assets 3,607,000 Liabilities assumed (1,157,976) Total identifiable net assets $ 54,364,928 Total identifiable net assets $ 54,364,928 Goodwill 593,709 Consideration transferred $ 54,958,637 Accounts receivable were recorded at their fair value representing the amount we expect to collect, which also approximated the gross contractual values of such receivables at the acquisition date. Goodwill totaling approximately $0.6 million arose from the acquisition and primarily represents synergies and economies of scale generated through reductions in selling, general, and administrative expenses. This goodwill has been assigned to the Company’s Wholesale Segment and is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The provisional (preliminary) value of other intangible assets acquired consisted of the following: Acquisition-Date Useful Life Other Intangible Asset Fair Value (Years) Customer list $ 2,010,000 15 Non-competition agreement 95,000 5 Trade name 1,502,000 7 $ 3,607,000 The following table sets forth the unaudited supplemental financial data for Henry’s from the acquisition date through March 2023, which is included in the Company’s consolidated results for the three and six months ended March 2023. Revenue $ 43,960,836 Net loss available to common shareholders $ (91,434) The following table presents unaudited supplemental pro forma information assuming the Company acquired Henry’s on October 1, 2021, in addition to holding a 56% interest in Team Sledd, LLC (“Team Sledd”) on October 1, 2021.

WHOLESALE SEGMENT AND RETAIL SEGMENT | AMCON Distributing Company and Subsidiaries (“AMCON” or the “Company”) operate two business segments: ● Our wholesale distribution segment (“Wholesale Segment”) distributes consumer products and provides a full range of programs and services to our customers that are focused on helping them manage their business and increase their profitability. We serve customers in 31 states and primarily operate in the Central, Rocky Mountain, Mid-South and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. ● Our retail health food segment (“Retail Segment”) operates 18 health food retail stores located throughout the Midwest and Florida. WHOLESALE SEGMENT Our Wholesale Segment is one of the largest wholesale distributors in the United States, serving approximately 6,800 retail outlets including convenience stores, grocery stores, liquor stores, drug stores, and tobacco shops. We currently distribute over 17,000 different consumer products, including cigarettes and tobacco products, candy and other confectionery products, beverages, groceries, paper products, health and beauty care products, frozen and refrigerated products and institutional foodservice products. Convenience stores represent our largest customer category. In December 2022, Convenience Store News ranked us as the sixth (6th) largest convenience store distributor in the United States based on annual sales. Our Wholesale Segment offers retailers the ability to take advantage of manufacturer- and Company-sponsored sales and marketing programs, merchandising and product category management services, and the use of information systems and data services that are focused on minimizing retailers’ investment in inventory, while seeking to maximize their sales and profits. In addition, our wholesale distributing capabilities provide valuable services to both manufacturers of consumer products and convenience retailers. Manufacturers benefit from our broad retail coverage, inventory management, efficiency in processing small orders, and frequency of deliveries. Convenience retailers benefit from our distribution capabilities by gaining access to a broad product line, inventory optimization and merchandising expertise, information systems, and accessing trade credit. Our Wholesale Segment operates eight distribution centers located in Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee and West Virginia. These distribution centers, combined with cross-dock facilities, include approximately 1.1 million square feet of permanent floor space. Our principal suppliers include Altria, RJ Reynolds, ITG Brands, Hershey, Kellogg’s, Kraft Heinz, and Mars Wrigley. We also market private label lines of water, candy products, batteries, and other products. We do not maintain any long-term purchase contracts with our suppliers. As further described in Note 2, on February 3, 2023, the Company closed on its acquisition of Henry’s Foods, Inc. (“Henry’s”), purchasing substantially all of Henry’s operating assets for approximately $55.0 million. RETAIL SEGMENT Our Retail Segment, through our Healthy Edge Retail Group We operate within the natural products retail industry, which is a subset of the U.S. grocery industry. This industry includes conventional, natural, gourmet and specialty food markets, mass and discount retailers, warehouse clubs, health food stores, dietary supplement retailers, drug stores, farmers markets, mail order and online retailers, and multi-level marketers. Our Retail Segment operates 18 retail health food stores as Chamberlin’s Natural Foods, Akin’s Natural Foods, and Earth Origins Market.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which introduces a forward-looking approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The estimate of expected credit losses will require entities to incorporate considerations of historical information, current information, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This ASU also expands the disclosure requirements to enable users of financial statements to understand the entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating expected credit losses. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 (fiscal 2024 for the Company) with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently reviewing this ASU and its potential impact on our consolidated financial statements. |
