INNOVATIVE FOOD HOLDINGS, INC.

CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2023

(Unaudited)

 

1. NATURE OF ACTIVITIES AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include those of Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles pursuant to Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes as contained in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. In the opinion of management, the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation of the interim periods presented. The results of the operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

 

Business Activity

 

We provide difficult to find specialty foods primarily to both Professional Chefs and Home Gourmets through our relationships with producers, growers, makers and distributors of these products worldwide. The distribution of these products primarily originates from our three unified warehouses and those of our drop ship partners, and is driven by our proprietary technology platform. In addition, we provide value-added services through our team of food specialists and Chef Advisors who offer customer support, menu ideas, and preparation guidance.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of these unaudited consolidated 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, inventory reserves, income taxes, intangible assets, operating and finance 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 subsidiaries, some of which are non-operating: Artisan Specialty Foods, Inc. (“Artisan”), Food Innovations, Inc. (“FII”), Food New Media Group, Inc. (“FNM”), Organic Food Brokers, LLC (“OFB”), Gourmet Foodservice Group, Inc. (“GFG”), Gourmet Foodservice Group Warehouse, Inc. (“GFW”), Gourmeting, Inc. (“Gourmeting”), Haley Food Group, Inc. (“Haley”), Oasis Sales Corp. (“Oasis”), 4 The Gourmet, Inc. (d/b/a For The Gourmet, Inc.), (“Gourmet”), Innovative Food Properties, LLC (“IFP”), Plant Innovations, Inc. (“Plant Innovations”), Innovative Gourmet, LLC (“Innovative Gourmet” or “igourmet”), Food Funding, LLC (“Food Funding”), Logistics Innovations, LLC (L Innovations”), M Innovations, LLC (“M Innovations”), MI Foods, LLC (“MIF”), M Foods Innovations, LLC (“M Foods”), P Innovations, LLC (“P Innovations”), PlantBelly, LLC (“PlantBelly”), Innovative Foods, Inc. (“IFI”) and Innovative Gourmet Partnerships, LLC (“IGP”), and collectively with IVFH and its other subsidiaries, the “Company” or “IVFH”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

 

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, 2023 and 2022, trade receivables from the Company’s largest customer amounted to 26% and 28%, respectively, of total trade receivables. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, sales from the Company’s largest customer amounted to 47% and 50% of total sales, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, sales from the Company’s largest customer amounted to 47% and 51% of total sales, respectively.

 

The Company maintains cash balances in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total cash in excess of these limits was $2,934,733 and $3,205,568, respectively.

 

Leases

 

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 842, “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 consolidated balance sheet. Finance lease ROU assets are presented within other assets, and finance lease liabilities are presented within current and long-term liabilities.

 

ROU assets represent the right of use to 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 (i.e., specialty foodservice and e-commerce), the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. A five-step analysis 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.

 

Revenue from brand management services are comprised of fees and/or commissions associated with client sales. Revenue from brand management services are recognized at the point in time when services are rendered to the client.

 

Warehouse and logistic services revenue is primarily comprised of inventory management, order fulfilment and warehousing services. Warehouse & logistics services revenues are recognized at the point in time when the services are rendered to the customer.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

Certain customer arrangements in the Company’s business such as gift cards and e-commerce subscription purchases result in deferred revenues when cash payments are received in advance of performance. Gift cards issued by the Company generally have an expiration of five years from date of purchase. The Company records a liability for unredeemed gift cards and advance payments for monthly club memberships as cash is received, and the liability is reduced when the card is redeemed or product delivered.

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.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

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 consolidated financial statements.

 

2. LIQUIDITY

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $37,281,421 at June 30, 2023 and negative cash flow from operations in the amount of $1,880,139 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The Company has reported net income of $13,471 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and a net loss of $2,815,295 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

 

The Company continues to work to manage its current liabilities while making changes to operations in order to further improve its cash flow and liquidity position. Management believes the Company achieved significant progress in improving the Company’s liquidity during the three months ended June 30, 2023, as discussed below.

 

 

The Company reported a profit in the amount of $13,471 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to a loss in the amount of $1,223,786 during the comparable period of the prior year. Due to the Company’s improved operations performance along with its restructured balance sheet, the Company believes that any issues regarding its near-term liquidity have been resolved.

If an event of default occurs, the maturity of the amounts owed under the Term Loan Agreements may be accelerated. The obligations under the Term Loan Agreements are guaranteed by the Company and IFP and are secured by mortgages on their real estate located in Florida, Illinois, and Pennsylvania and substantially all of their assets, in each case, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens.

The Company relied upon the guidance of Statement of Financial Account Standards No. 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) in accounting for the CEO Stock Plan. A Monte Carlo market-based performance stock awards model was used in valuing the plan, with the following assumptions:

 

 

The stock price for each trading day would fluctuate with an estimated projected volatility using a normal distribution. The stock price of the underlying instrument is modeled such that it follows a geometric Brownian motion with constant drift and volatility.

 

 

 

 

The Company would award the stock upon triggering the thresholds.

 

 

 

 

Annual attrition or forfeiture rates (i.e., pre–vesting forfeiture assumption) are assumed to be zero given the Holder’s position with the Company.

 

 

 

 

No Projected capital events were included in the adjustments to the shares issued and outstanding in the projected simulations.

 

 

 

 

Awards/Payouts were discounted at the risk–free rate.

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Contingent Liability

 

Pursuant to the acquisition of the assets of Innovative Gourmet, LLC (“igourmet”), the Company recorded contingent liabilities in the original amount of $787,800. This amount relates to certain performance-based payments over the twenty-four months following the acquisition date as well as to certain additional liabilities that the Company has evaluated and has recorded on a contingent basis. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company reduced this amount by $392,900 as the performance goals for the first year were not met. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company reduced this amount by $132,300 as the performance goals for the second year were not met. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company paid the amount of $39,000 in connection with the additional liabilities. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company paid the amount of $8,000 and 80,000, respectively, in connection with the additional liabilities. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company determined that these contingent liabilities were no longer needed as the time period for attainment of the contingencies had lapsed; accordingly, the balances of the contingent liabilities in the amounts of $67,000 and $108,000 were de-recognized and credited to gain on contingent liabilities. At December 31, 2022, the amount of contingent liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet in connection with the igourmet acquisition was $0.

 

Pursuant to the Mouth Foods LLC Asset Acquisition, the Company recorded contingent liabilities in the amount of $240,576. These amounts relate to the estimate of certain performance-based payments following the acquisition date as well as to certain additional liabilities that the Company has evaluated and has recorded on a contingent basis. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company paid the amount of $120,576 in connection with these liabilities. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company determined that these contingent liabilities were no longer needed as the time period for attainment of the contingencies had lapsed; accordingly, the balance of the contingent liabilities in the amount of $120,000 was de-recognized and credited to gain on contingent liabilities. At December 31, 2022 the amount of contingent liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet was $0.

 

 

License Agreements

 

In May 2019, the Company entered into a royalty-based license agreement, through December 31, 2022 with a lifestyle brand, which provides the exclusive right, with certain carve-outs and limitations, to sell and promote branded gift baskets for certain channels including: retail, warehouse club stores, certain of the Company’s current e-commerce channels, and other e-commerce channels such as amazon.com (the “May 2019 License Agreement”). Pursuant to the May 2019 License Agreement, the Company paid an initial royalty deposit in the amount of $50,000 towards the minimum royalty, which is classified as other current assets on the Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2019. Future royalty amounts owed for minimum payments in connection with the May 2019 License Agreement will be deducted from this deposit. The royalty rate is 5% of net sales, and the Company is required, with certain exceptions and exclusions, to make minimum royalty payments of $100,000 through the end of 2020, $110,000 in 2021, and $125,000 in 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company paid the amount of $55,000 pursuant to the May 2019 License agreement; at June 30, 2023 this agreement has expired and there are no further amounts due.

 

Litigation

 

On September 16, 2019, an action (the “PA Action”) was filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, Trial Division, against, among others, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, igourmet and Food Innovations, Inc. ("FII"). Since that time, other parties involved in the incident have joined as plaintiffs in the PA Action. The complaint in the PA Action alleges, inter alia, wrongful death and negligence by a driver employed by igourmet and indicates a demand and offer to settle for $50,000,000. We expect that should a settlement occur the amount to resolve the Action would be substantially lower. The Company and its subsidiaries had auto and umbrella insurance policies, among others, that were in effect for the relevant period The Company and its subsidiaries’ insurers have agreed to defend the Company and its subsidiaries in the PA Action (and the related action), subject to a reservation of rights. The Company believes that the likely outcome would result in the liabilities being covered by its insurance carriers. However, if the Company was found responsible for damages in excess of its available insurance coverage, such damages in excess of the coverage could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations. The case has been set for trial for April 1, 2024. Because the statute of limitations on the incident has now run, it is not anticipated that any new plaintiffs involved in the incident will come forward against the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

From time to time, the Company has become and may become involved in certain lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business, or as the result of current or previous investments, or current or previous subsidiaries, or current or previous employees, or current or previous directors, or as a result of acquisitions and dispositions or other corporate activities. The Company intends to vigorously defend its positions. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our financial position or our business and the outcome of these matters cannot be ultimately predicted.

 

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On July 7, 2023, the Company issued 178,626 shares of common stock to a designee of its prior CEO and a board member pursuant to a compensation agreement.  These shares were previously accrued at an average price of $0.23 per share. 

 

 

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto, as well as all other related notes, and financial and operational references, appearing elsewhere in this document.

 

Certain information contained in this discussion and elsewhere in this report may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is subject to the safe harbor created by that act. The safe harbor created by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act will not apply to certain “forward looking statements” because we issued “penny stock” (as defined in Section 3(a)(51) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 3(a)(51-1) under the Exchange Act) during the three year period preceding the date(s) on which those forward looking statements were first made, except to the extent otherwise specifically provided by rule, regulation or order of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We caution readers that certain important factors may affect our actual results and could cause such results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements which may be deemed to have been made in this Report or which are otherwise made by or on our behalf. For this purpose, any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “believe”, “explore”, “consider”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “could”, “estimate”, “plan”, “propose” or “continue” or the negative variations of those words or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Factors that may affect our results include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties associated with:

 

Our ability to raise capital necessary to sustain our anticipated operations and implement our business plan,

 

 

Our ability to implement our business plan,

   

Our ability to generate sufficient cash to pay our lenders and other creditors,

   

Our dependence on one major customer,

 

 

Our ability to employ and retain qualified management and employees,

   

Our dependence on the efforts and abilities of our current employees and executive officers,

   

Changes in government regulations that are applicable to our current or anticipated business,

   

Changes in the demand for our services and different food trends,

   

The degree and nature of our competition,

   

The lack of diversification of our business plan,

   

The general volatility of the capital markets and the establishment of a market for our shares, and

   

Disruption in the economic and financial conditions primarily from the impact of past terrorist attacks in the United States, threats of future attacks, police and military activities overseas and other disruptive worldwide political and economic events, health pandemics, rising inflation and energy costs, and environmental weather conditions.

 

We are also subject to other risks detailed from time to time in our other filings with the SEC and elsewhere in this report. Any one or more of these uncertainties, risks and other influences could materially affect our results of operations and whether forward-looking statements made by us ultimately prove to be accurate. Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether from new information, future events or otherwise.

 

 

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, among others, doubtful accounts receivable, valuation of stock-based services, 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.

 

Provision for Doubtful Accounts Receivable

 

The Company maintained an allowance in the amount of $50,905 for doubtful accounts receivable at June 30, 2023, and $340,225 at December 31, 2022. 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 of use to 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.

 

Transactions with Major Customers

 

Transactions with a major customer and related economic dependence information is set forth below and following our discussion of Liquidity and Capital Resources.

 

 

We have historically sold the majority of our products through a distributor relationship between FII, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and subsidiaries of U.S. Foods, a leading broadline distributor. These sales amounted to $8,882,382 and $10,197,930, respectively, representing 47% and 50% of total sales, respectively, in each of the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and $16,768,107 and $17,857,839, respectively, representing 47% and 51% of total sales, respectively, in each of the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. On January 26, 2015 we executed a contract directly between FII and U.S. Foods (the “U.S. Foods Agreement”). The term of the U.S. Foods Agreement was from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2016 and provided 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 U.S. Foods Agreement was extended through December 31, 2018. Effective January 1, 2018 the U.S. Foods 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. In addition, Gate Gourmet, the leading global provider of airline catering solutions and provisioning services for airlines, in partnership with igourmet, represented $3,032,579 and $2,285,098, or 16% and 11%, of total sales for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $5,783,935 and $3,266,857, or 16% and 9%, of total sales for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

Our Business Activities

 

Overall, our business activities are focused on building scalable businesses selling specialty foods that are difficult to find through traditional channels. We build relationships with the producers, growers, makers, and distributors of specialty products, then carefully select our suppliers based upon their quality, uniqueness, reliability and experience in shipping with overnight courier services. In fact, we’ve built expertise in evaluating and certifying the food safety and supply chain capabilities of small batch producers who don’t typically sell through broad-based sales channels. We then partner to seek out the freshest, most unique, origin-specific gourmet cheese, meat, produce, and premium ingredients available, and ship them directly from our network of vendors and warehouses within 24 – 72 hours. We also source, package, and brand a meaningful segment of these products ourselves, enabling us to better control the assortment, offer more flexibility and variety to our customers, and capture additional margin.

 

We leverage this unique, premium assortment to serve the needs of two key customer groups within the Specialty Foods category: Professional Chefs and Home Gourmets.

 

First, we serve Professional Chefs in settings such as restaurants, hotels, country clubs, national chain accounts, casinos, hospitals and catering houses. We provide these premium customers with products that can’t typically be found through their broadline distributor’s warehoused assortment. We distribute these products directly to Professional Chefs in Chicago through our subsidiary, Artisan Specialty Foods, Inc., and nationally through our e-commerce businesses on Amazon.com and our own website. We also drop ship specialty food to Professional Chefs nationally through the websites of broadline distributors, such as US Foods, Inc. Between this variety of sales channels, IVFH is able to serve our Professional Chef customers wherever they are located.

 

Second, we serve Home Gourmets ranging from the casual host looking for a spread of freshly cut gourmet cheese and charcuterie, to the aspiring home menu planner looking to expand their palate, to the passionate foodie who can’t find their favorite ingredients at their local grocery store. Much of this business is based on the category trends we are seeing on the Professional side of the business, and in partnership with the same suppliers. We have used our understanding of the customer to build meaningful loyal segments of the business around gift baskets and subscriptions, as well as a la carte purchases. We sell this gourmet assortment through our iGourmet.com and Mouth.com websites as well as on third party marketplaces like Amazon.com, Walmart.com, and Kroger.com. Our Home Gourmet customers rave about their experience, with Net Promoter Scores (NPS) on par with some of the leading consumer brands in the world.

 

We service these two customer bases from a unified network of three warehouses: a 200K square foot facility in Mountain Top, Pennsylvania (an important industry distribution hub for the Northeast), a 30K square foot facility in the greater Chicago area, and a 5K square foot facility in Bonita Springs, FL. We have capabilities to pack and ship frozen, refrigerated, and ambient products, enabling us to sell a broad range of specialty foods. We also have GFSI/SQF certifications, allowing compatibility with the highest standards of food handling supply chains in the world, and the quality and food safety that our premium customers expect from us. All three sites have the ability to ship packages and pallets of all sizes through overnight shipping. We also leverage our own fleet of trucks to deliver directly to our Professional Chef customers within our reach.

 

Our proprietary technology platform underpins our entire business, driving transparency and efficiency up and down the supply chain. Orders flow in real time, whether to our warehouses or to our vendor partners, to allow for fast handling and fulfillment. Our picking is enabled by efficient scan-based, handheld devices, ensuring order and inventory accuracy. Our warehouse management software optimizes pick routes for common items and order types, recommends a box size, and calculates the appropriate amount of packaging and ice required based on forecasted temperatures along the delivery route.

 

 

We have built a team consisting of passionate, committed, and food-obsessed people: our average tenure (outside of seasonal workers) across the company is over five years. Our merchandising team has deep connections within the specialty food space around the globe. Our Chef Advisors, as ex-chefs themselves, go beyond customer service to offer our Professional Chefs customer support, menu ideas, and preparation guidance. Our photography and marketing teams have developed a look and feel all our own.

 

Lastly, we also have small but profitable third-party logistics, partnerships, and brand services teams that package all of our activities into services that we can sell back to the small, nascent, or international brands we do business with.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2022

 

Revenue

 

Revenue decreased by $1,689,835 or approximately 8% to $18,833,321 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $20,523,156 in the prior year. Both our eCommerce and Specialty Foodservice businesses contributed to the declines, though both declined less than our expectations. On the eCommerce business, we continued to restrict marketing spend relative to historical levels as we improve the business model, leading to declines of 30.7%, in line with trends in the prior three quarters. Now that we’ve run four quarters of marketing cuts and revenue declines, we expect these revenue headwinds to subside in future quarters.  On the Specialty Foodservice business, revenue declined 5.1% as post-COVID reopening trends normalized. This normalization, combined with our recent price increases and a change in the technology platform used by a key partner, have led to a smaller, though significantly more profitable business for us.  We expect this Specialty Foodservice revenue softness to continue at a similar magnitude for the remainder of the year while our new growth plans begin to take shape.

 

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.

 

We are also seeing increases in our logistics business (from $185,104 in the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $270,443 in the three months ended June 30, 2023) and brand marketing business (from $251,819 in the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $309,395 in the three months ended June 30, 2023), as we add new customers and expand relationships with existing customers.  Though small, we will continue to grow these businesses in order to better leverage existing assets. 

 

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, 2023 was $14,040,410, a decrease of $2,033,849 or approximately 13% compared to cost of goods sold of $16,074,259 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Cost of goods sold was made up of the following expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023: cost of goods of specialty, meat, game, cheese, seafood, poultry and other sales categories in the amount of $10,356,406; shipping, delivery, handling, and purchase allowance expenses in the amount of $3,527,100; and cost of goods associated with logistics of $156,904. Gross margins as a percentage of sales increased during the current period to 25.4% compared to 21.7% during the comparable period, as we began implementing our strategy to improve cost controls, better manage pricing, and focus more on product mix.

 

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased by $965,900 or approximately 17% to $4,556,149 during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $5,522,049 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily due to a decrease in advertising and digital marketing costs in the amount of $686,463, a decrease in share based compensation in the amount of $141,543, a decrease in office & facilities costs in the amount of $110,460, a decrease in legal and professional fees in the amount of $108,349, a decrease in computer and IT expense in the amount of $17,978, and a decrease in amortization and depreciation in the amount of $8,211. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in bad debt expense in the amount of $37,068, an increase in payroll and related costs in the amount of $33,783, an increase in insurance costs in the amount of $23,134, an increase in taxes in the amount of $7,395, an increase in travel and entertainment in the amount of $4,484, and an increase in banking fees in the amount of $1,240. Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased from 27% of sales during the three months ended June 30, 2022 to 24% of sales during the current quarter as we continued to thoughtfully reduce our expense structure.

 

Loss on extinguishment of debt

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we entered into a revolving line of credit agreement and two term loan agreements with MapleMark Bank, replacing our revolving line of credit and term loans with Fifth Third Bank. We wrote off the existing discounts to the Fifth Third Bank loans in the amount of $40,556 resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt. There was no comparable transaction during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

 

Other leasing income

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized income in the amount of $1,900 in connection with the lease of space in our Mountaintop warehouse facility, a decrease of $394 or approximately 17% compared to $2,294 during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

 

Interest expense, net

 

Interest expense, net of interest income, increased by $96,985 or approximately 86% to $209,357 during the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $112,372 during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was due primarily to an increase in interest accrued or paid on the Company’s commercial loans and notes payable in the amount of $113,749 due to higher interest rates and higher balances under the MapleMark term loans. Interest income was $1,996 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in the amortization of discount on notes payable in the amount of $16,765 during the period, to $729 compared to $17,494 during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Interest income was $1,995 during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $1,996 during the prior period.

 

Income tax expense

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company paid federal income taxes in the amount of $15,834 in connection with an audit of the year ended December 31, 2017. There was no such charge during the prior period.

 

Net income (loss)

 

For the reasons above, the Company had net income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 of $13,471 compared to a net loss of $1,223,786 during the three months ended June 30, 2022. The net income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 includes a net total of $261,257 in non-cash charges: non-cash compensation in the amount of $72,804, depreciation and amortization expense of $141,485, provision for doubtful accounts of $46,239, and amortization of the discount on notes payable term loans of $729. The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022 includes a total of $423,359 in non-cash charges, including non-cash compensation in the amount of $214,766, depreciation and amortization expense of $141,374, loss on extinguishment of debt of $40,556, amortization of prepaid loan fees in the amount of $17,494, and provision for doubtful accounts of $9,171.

 

 

Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

 

Revenue

 

Revenue decreased by $337,746 or approximately 1% to $35,828,521 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $36,166,267 in the prior year. eCommerce was the primary driver of the decline. On the eCommerce business, we continued to restrict marketing spend relative to historical levels as we improve the business model, leading to declines of 28.9%, in line with trends in the prior six months. Now that we’ve run four quarters of marketing cuts and revenue declines, we expect these revenue headwinds to subside in future quarters.  On the Specialty Foodservice business, revenue grew 5.0%, a slowdown versus prior quarters.  This slowdown was driven by the normalization of post-COVID reopening trends, the implementation of price increases to right size our margins, and the implementation of a new technology platform by a key customer.

 

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.

 

We are also seeing increases in our logistics business (from $390,889 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $519,012 for the six months ended June 30, 2023) and brand marketing business (from $535,966 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to $625,083 for the six months ended June 30, 2023)), as we add new customers and expand relationships with existing customers.  Though small, we will continue to grow these businesses in order to better leverage existing assets. 

 

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.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased by $1,339,240 or approximately 13% to $9,355,235 during the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $10,694,475 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily due a decrease in advertising and digital marketing costs in the amount of $1,178,087, a decrease in office and facilities costs in the amount of $225,416, a decrease in share based compensation in the amount of $116,236, a decrease in computer and IT costs of $63,703, and a decrease in banking and credit card costs of $41,859. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in payroll and related costs of $112,886, an increase in legal and professional fees in the amount of $49,217, an increase in reserve for doubtful accounts in the amount of $42,849, an increase in insurance costs in the amount of $37,828, an increase in taxes in the amount of $29,240, and an increase in travel and entertainment in the amount of $15,729.

The increase was due primarily to an increase in interest accrued or paid on the Company’s commercial loans and notes payable in the amount of $212,016 due to higher interest rates and higher balances under the MapleMark term loans. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in the amortization of discount on notes payable in the amount of $19,853 during the period, to $729 compared to $20,582 during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Interest income was $4,063 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $78 compared to interest income of $3,985 during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The Company’s cash position also increased by $314,371 as a result of changes in the components of current assets and current liabilities. Excluding expenses associated with the separation and hiring of key officers referenced earlier, the Company would have recorded cash used in operating activities of $1,410,971 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an improvement of $1,846,112 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company had positive cash flow from operating activities in the amount of $1,311,573 during the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to cash used in operating activities of $383,793 for the three months  ended June 30, 2022, an improvement of $1,695,793.

 

The Company had cash used in investing activities of $32,473 for the six months ended March, 2023, which consisted of cash paid for the acquisition of property and equipment. In the near term, we don’t expect to make significant investments in our business, but instead expect to manage the business within existing investments.

 

The Company had cash provided by financing activities of $3,185,646 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, which consisted of primarily of net amount of cash received from the MapleMark Term Loan 3. The Company also made principal payments on financing leases in the amount of $99,942 during the current period.

 

On June 9, 2023, the Company received the USDA Loan Guarantee which allowed us to refinance certain of the Company’s loans with MapleMark Bank. The MapleMark Refinancing includes the following changes to the MapleMark loans: The MapleMark Term Loan 1 was replaced with a new term loan in the amount of $9,057,840 (the “MapleMark Term Loan 3”). The MapleMark Term Loan 3 is payable in monthly installments of approximately $80,025 commencing July 1, 2023 and continuing through June 13, 2048. The MapleMark Term Loan 2 was extended from May 27, 2023 to May 27, 2033 with monthly payments in the amount of approximately $2,311 commencing July 1, 2023 and continuing through June 1, 2033. In addition, the due date of the MapleMark Revolver was extended from May 27, 2023 to May 27, 2024 and the principal amount available under this facility was increased from $2,014,333 to $3,000,000. The net effect of the Refinancing was to (a) provide the Company with additional cash on hand in the amount of $3,460,892 and (b) decrease current liabilities by $5,586,627.

 

At June 30, 2023 we have positive net working capital in the amount of $4,456,676 compared to a net working capital deficit of $4,719,379 at the end of Q1. The Company reported a profit in the amount of $13,471 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to a loss in the amount of $1,223,786 during the comparable period of the prior year. Due to the Company’s improved operations performance along with its restructured balance sheet, we believe that any issues regarding our near-term liquidity have been resolved.

 

2023 Plans

 

2022 was a year of continued volatility. The food service industry moved past the depressed restaurant market of the Pandemic, posting significant gains. For e-commerce, it was a year of industry declines as consumers shifted their purchases back into bricks and mortar stores. In the first quarter of 2023, we saw our revenue trends begin to stabilize for the first year since the Pandemic began in 2020. We will now begin lapping a more normalized market for food at home and away from home.

 

During 2023, as Mr. Bennett has now recently taken the role of CEO, we will be doing a holistic review of the Company’s portfolio of businesses and go to market strategies. In the meantime, we plan to focus on the fundamentals of running a cash flow positive business, serving both Professional Chefs and Home Gourmets, including a focus on improving margins. On the Professional Chefs business, we expect to continue to expand by entering additional specialty foods markets, serving new customers, and launching new products, offset by the headwinds of our price increases, and a key customer’s transition in technology platforms. On the Home Gourmet business, we plan to continue to be cautious with our marketing spend, while we focus on improving the customer journey and the operating model. Additional focus includes improving the customer experience on our existing food subscription offerings, expanding our assortment, and launching a loyalty rewards program. These efforts are expected to increase our customer retention and frequency, enabling this business to self-fund future growth and achieve higher returns on our advertising spend when we’re ready to accelerate again. We are currently targeting 2024 for this re-acceleration of marketing spending, pending the achievement of the frequency and retention thresholds required to enable a sustainably profitable business. In the meantime, we will begin lapping last year’s cuts in marketing spend in Q3, eliminating the Home Gourmet revenue headwind we’ve faced for the last year.

 

 

The company has significant efforts underway to improve gross margins across all operating entities. We believe we can achieve this objective through improving our product mix, building a more strategic pricing and promotional plan with supplier support, and implementing a more robust process for managing the impact of inflation.

 

No assurances can be given that any of these plans will come to fruition or that if implemented 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 had a material effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of its operations. The Company has seen the impact of inflation across its costs for fuel, shipping, cost of goods, and marketing. Balancing the management of these increases with the willingness of our customers to pay higher prices will be a key focus for the Company this year. However, no assurance can be given that we will be successful and inflationary pressure on our profits will likely continue through 2023.

 

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, 2022 and other of its Current Reports on Form 8-K, all of which reports are 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 SEC’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 determined that our controls and procedures are effective at June 30, 2023 at the reasonable assurance level. 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.

 

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

On September 16, 2019, an action (the “PA Action”) was filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, Trial Division, against, among others, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, igourmet and Food Innovations, Inc. Since that time, other parties involved in the incident have joined as plaintiffs in the PA Action. The complaint in the PA Action alleges, inter alia, wrongful death and negligence by a driver employed by igourmet and indicates a demand and offer to settle for fifty million dollars. We expect that should a settlement occur the amount to resolve the Action would be substantially lower. The Company and its subsidiaries had auto and umbrella insurance policies, among others, that were in effect for the relevant period The Company and its subsidiaries’ insurers have agreed to defend the Company and its subsidiaries in the PA Action (and the related action), subject to a reservation of rights. The Company believes that the likely outcome would result in the liabilities being covered by its insurance carriers. However, if the Company was found responsible for damages in excess of its available insurance coverage, such damages in excess of the coverage could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations. The case has been set for trial for April 1, 2024. Because the statute of limitations on the incident has now run, it is not anticipated that any new plaintiffs involved in the incident will come forward against the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

From time to time, the Company has become and may become involved in certain lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business, or as the result of current or previous investments, or current or previous subsidiaries, or current or previous employees, or current or previous directors, or as a result of acquisitions and dispositions or other corporate activities. The Company intends to vigorously defend its positions. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our financial position or our business, and the outcome of these matters cannot be ultimately predicted.

1. NATURE OF ACTIVITIES AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include those of Innovative Food Holdings, Inc. and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles pursuant to Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes as contained in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. In the opinion of management, the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation of the interim periods presented. The results of the operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

 

Business Activity

 

We provide difficult to find specialty foods primarily to both Professional Chefs and Home Gourmets through our relationships with producers, growers, makers and distributors of these products worldwide. The distribution of these products primarily originates from our three unified warehouses and those of our drop ship partners, and is driven by our proprietary technology platform. In addition, we provide value-added services through our team of food specialists and Chef Advisors who offer customer support, menu ideas, and preparation guidance.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of these unaudited consolidated 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, inventory reserves, income taxes, intangible assets, operating and finance 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 subsidiaries, some of which are non-operating: Artisan Specialty Foods, Inc. (“Artisan”), Food Innovations, Inc. (“FII”), Food New Media Group, Inc. (“FNM”), Organic Food Brokers, LLC (“OFB”), Gourmet Foodservice Group, Inc. (“GFG”), Gourmet Foodservice Group Warehouse, Inc. (“GFW”), Gourmeting, Inc. (“Gourmeting”), Haley Food Group, Inc. (“Haley”), Oasis Sales Corp. (“Oasis”), 4 The Gourmet, Inc. (d/b/a For The Gourmet, Inc.), (“Gourmet”), Innovative Food Properties, LLC (“IFP”), Plant Innovations, Inc. (“Plant Innovations”), Innovative Gourmet, LLC (“Innovative Gourmet” or “igourmet”), Food Funding, LLC (“Food Funding”), Logistics Innovations, LLC (L Innovations”), M Innovations, LLC (“M Innovations”), MI Foods, LLC (“MIF”), M Foods Innovations, LLC (“M Foods”), P Innovations, LLC (“P Innovations”), PlantBelly, LLC (“PlantBelly”), Innovative Foods, Inc. (“IFI”) and Innovative Gourmet Partnerships, LLC (“IGP”), and collectively with IVFH and its other subsidiaries, the “Company” or “IVFH”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

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, 2023 and 2022, trade receivables from the Company’s largest customer amounted to 26% and 28%, respectively, of total trade receivables. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, sales from the Company’s largest customer amounted to 47% and 50% of total sales, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, sales from the Company’s largest customer amounted to 47% and 51% of total sales, respectively.

 

The Company maintains cash balances in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total cash in excess of these limits was $2,934,733 and $3,205,568, respectively.

 

Leases

 

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 842, “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 consolidated balance sheet. Finance lease ROU assets are presented within other assets, and finance lease liabilities are presented within current and long-term liabilities.

 

ROU assets represent the right of use to 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 (i.e., specialty foodservice and e-commerce), the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. A five-step analysis 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.

 

Revenue from brand management services are comprised of fees and/or commissions associated with client sales. Revenue from brand management services are recognized at the point in time when services are rendered to the client.

 

Warehouse and logistic services revenue is primarily comprised of inventory management, order fulfilment and warehousing services. Warehouse & logistics services revenues are recognized at the point in time when the services are rendered to the customer.

 

Deferred Revenue

 

Certain customer arrangements in the Company’s business such as gift cards and e-commerce subscription purchases result in deferred revenues when cash payments are received in advance of performance. Gift cards issued by the Company generally have an expiration of five years from date of purchase. The Company records a liability for unredeemed gift cards and advance payments for monthly club memberships as cash is received, and the liability is reduced when the card is redeemed or product delivered.

 

The following table represents the changes in deferred revenue as reported on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets:

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.

 

We have also included all payroll costs as cost of goods sold in our leasing and logistics services business.

 

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, 2023:

The Company relied upon the guidance of Statement of Financial Account Standards No. 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) in accounting for the CEO Stock Plan. A Monte Carlo market-based performance stock awards model was used in valuing the plan, with the following assumptions:

 

 

The stock price for each trading day would fluctuate with an estimated projected volatility using a normal distribution. The stock price of the underlying instrument is modeled such that it follows a geometric Brownian motion with constant drift and volatility.

 

 

 

 

The Company would award the stock upon triggering the thresholds.

 

 

 

 

Annual attrition or forfeiture rates (i.e., pre–vesting forfeiture assumption) are assumed to be zero given the Holder’s position with the Company.

 

 

 

 

No Projected capital events were included in the adjustments to the shares issued and outstanding in the projected simulations.

 

 

 

 

Awards/Payouts were discounted at the risk–free rate.

Contingent Liability

 

Pursuant to the acquisition of the assets of Innovative Gourmet, LLC (“igourmet”), the Company recorded contingent liabilities in the original amount of $787,800. This amount relates to certain performance-based payments over the twenty-four months following the acquisition date as well as to certain additional liabilities that the Company has evaluated and has recorded on a contingent basis. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company reduced this amount by $392,900 as the performance goals for the first year were not met. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company reduced this amount by $132,300 as the performance goals for the second year were not met. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company paid the amount of $39,000 in connection with the additional liabilities. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company paid the amount of $8,000 and 80,000, respectively, in connection with the additional liabilities. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company determined that these contingent liabilities were no longer needed as the time period for attainment of the contingencies had lapsed; accordingly, the balances of the contingent liabilities in the amounts of $67,000 and $108,000 were de-recognized and credited to gain on contingent liabilities. At December 31, 2022, the amount of contingent liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet in connection with the igourmet acquisition was $0.

 

Pursuant to the Mouth Foods LLC Asset Acquisition, the Company recorded contingent liabilities in the amount of $240,576. These amounts relate to the estimate of certain performance-based payments following the acquisition date as well as to certain additional liabilities that the Company has evaluated and has recorded on a contingent basis. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company paid the amount of $120,576 in connection with these liabilities. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company determined that these contingent liabilities were no longer needed as the time period for attainment of the contingencies had lapsed; accordingly, the balance of the contingent liabilities in the amount of $120,000 was de-recognized and credited to gain on contingent liabilities. At December 31, 2022 the amount of contingent liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet was $0.

 

License Agreements

 

In May 2019, the Company entered into a royalty-based license agreement, through December 31, 2022 with a lifestyle brand, which provides the exclusive right, with certain carve-outs and limitations, to sell and promote branded gift baskets for certain channels including: retail, warehouse club stores, certain of the Company’s current e-commerce channels, and other e-commerce channels such as amazon.com (the “May 2019 License Agreement”). Pursuant to the May 2019 License Agreement, the Company paid an initial royalty deposit in the amount of $50,000 towards the minimum royalty, which is classified as other current assets on the Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2019. Future royalty amounts owed for minimum payments in connection with the May 2019 License Agreement will be deducted from this deposit. The royalty rate is 5% of net sales, and the Company is required, with certain exceptions and exclusions, to make minimum royalty payments of $100,000 through the end of 2020, $110,000 in 2021, and $125,000 in 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company paid the amount of $55,000 pursuant to the May 2019 License agreement; at June 30, 2023 this agreement has expired and there are no further amounts due.

 

Litigation

 

On September 16, 2019, an action (the “PA Action”) was filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, Trial Division, against, among others, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, igourmet and Food Innovations, Inc. ("FII"). Since that time, other parties involved in the incident have joined as plaintiffs in the PA Action. The complaint in the PA Action alleges, inter alia, wrongful death and negligence by a driver employed by igourmet and indicates a demand and offer to settle for $50,000,000. We expect that should a settlement occur the amount to resolve the Action would be substantially lower. The Company and its subsidiaries had auto and umbrella insurance policies, among others, that were in effect for the relevant period The Company and its subsidiaries’ insurers have agreed to defend the Company and its subsidiaries in the PA Action (and the related action), subject to a reservation of rights. The Company believes that the likely outcome would result in the liabilities being covered by its insurance carriers. However, if the Company was found responsible for damages in excess of its available insurance coverage, such damages in excess of the coverage could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations. The case has been set for trial for April 1, 2024. Because the statute of limitations on the incident has now run, it is not anticipated that any new plaintiffs involved in the incident will come forward against the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

From time to time, the Company has become and may become involved in certain lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business, or as the result of current or previous investments, or current or previous subsidiaries, or current or previous employees, or current or previous directors, or as a result of acquisitions and dispositions or other corporate activities. The Company intends to vigorously defend its positions. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our financial position or our business and the outcome of these matters cannot be ultimately predicted.

Business Activity

We provide difficult to find specialty foods primarily to both Professional Chefs and Home Gourmets through our relationships with producers, growers, makers and distributors of these products worldwide. The distribution of these products primarily originates from our three unified warehouses and those of our drop ship partners, and is driven by our proprietary technology platform.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these unaudited consolidated 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, inventory reserves, income taxes, intangible assets, operating and finance 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.

Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]

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, 2023 and 2022, trade receivables from the Company’s largest customer amounted to 26% and 28%, respectively, of total trade receivables. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, sales from the Company’s largest customer amounted to 47% and 50% of total sales, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, sales from the Company’s largest customer amounted to 47% and 51% of total sales, respectively.

The Company maintains cash balances in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total cash in excess of these limits was $2,934,733 and $3,205,568, respectively.

Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block]

Leases

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 842, “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 consolidated balance sheet. Finance lease ROU assets are presented within other assets, and finance lease liabilities are presented within current and long-term liabilities.

ROU assets represent the right of use to 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 [Policy Text Block]

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 (i.e., specialty foodservice and e-commerce), the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. A five-step analysis 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.

Revenue from brand management services are comprised of fees and/or commissions associated with client sales. Revenue from brand management services are recognized at the point in time when services are rendered to the client.

Warehouse and logistic services revenue is primarily comprised of inventory management, order fulfilment and warehousing services. Warehouse & logistics services revenues are recognized at the point in time when the services are rendered to the customer.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Policy Text Block]

Deferred Revenue

Certain customer arrangements in the Company’s business such as gift cards and e-commerce subscription purchases result in deferred revenues when cash payments are received in advance of performance. Gift cards issued by the Company generally have an expiration of five years from date of purchase. The Company records a liability for unredeemed gift cards and advance payments for monthly club memberships as cash is received, and the liability is reduced when the card is redeemed or product delivered.

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

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, 2023:

This amount was paid by MapleMark directly to Fifth Third Bank in satisfaction of the outstanding principal and interest due under existing loans with Fifth Third Bank.

If an event of default occurs, the maturity of the amounts owed under the Term Loan Agreements may be accelerated. The obligations under the Term Loan Agreements are guaranteed by the Company and IFP and are secured by mortgages on their real estate located in Florida, Illinois, and Pennsylvania and substantially all of their assets, in each case, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens.
