| 2. | Liquidity |
|---|
Historically, the Company has funded its cash and liquidity needs through operating cash flow convertible notes, extended credit terms, and equity financings. The Company has incurred a net loss of $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and has an accumulated deficit of $51.7 million as of September 30, 2020. The Company has been dependent on raising capital from debt and equity financings as well as the utilization of our inventory to meet its needs for cash flow used in operating activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company raised approximately $3.2 million in additional capital through debt financing (net of repayments).
At September 30, 2020, the Company had $1 million of cash on hand with a negative working capital of $16.6 million. The Company’s ability to meet its ongoing operating cash needs over the next 12 months depends on reducing its operating costs, utilizing our inventory, raising additional debt or equity capital, selling assets and generating positive operating cash flow, primarily through increased sales, improved profit growth and controlling expenses. The Company intend to implement actions to improve profitability by managing expenses while continuing to increase sales. See Notes 10 and 11 to the financial statements for a description of our debt and the debt refinancing initiatives completed in the first half of 2020. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing, or additional financing is not available on acceptable terms, it may seek to sell assets, reduce operating expenses or reduce or eliminate marketing initiatives, and take other measures that could impair its ability to be successful.
Although the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 were prepared under the assumption that the Company would continue its operations as a going concern, the report of our independent registered public accounting firm that accompanies our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 contains a going concern qualification in which such firm expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, based on the financial statements at that time. Specifically, as noted above, the Company has incurred operating losses since our inception, and even though the Company has reduced its operating expenses and increased its available capacity under its lines of credit, and has large inventory balances from which to draw, the Company expects to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future. These prior losses and expected future losses have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition. If the Company cannot continue as a going concern, its stockholders would likely lose most or all of their investment in us.

Basisof Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for Eastside Distilling, Inc. and subsidiaries were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or eliminated as permitted under the SEC’s rules and regulations. In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all material adjustments, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2020, its operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for an entire fiscal year. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eastside Distilling, Inc.’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, including, MotherLode LLC, Big Bottom Distilling LLC, Outlandish Beverages, LLC, Redneck Riviera Whiskey Co., LLC, Craft Canning + Bottling LLC (beginning as of January 11, 2019) and the Azuñia tequila assets (beginning September 12, 2019).

SegmentReporting
The Company determined its operating segment on the same basis that it uses to evaluate its performance internally. The Company has one business activity, producing, packaging, marketing and distributing alcoholic beverages and operates as one segment. The Company’s chief operating decision makers, its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, review the Company’s operating results on an aggregate basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance.
Useof Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
RevenueRecognition
Net sales include product sales, less customer programs and excise taxes. The Company recognizes revenue by applying the following steps in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 – Revenue from Contracts withCustomers: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company recognizes sales when merchandise is shipped from a warehouse directly to wholesale customers (except in the case of a consignment sale). For consignment sales, which include sales to the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC), the Company recognizes sales upon the consignee’s shipment to the customer. Postage and handling charges billed to customers are also recognized as sales upon shipment of the related merchandise. Shipping terms are generally FOB shipping point, and title passes to the customer at the time and place of shipment or purchase by customers at a retail location. For consignment sales, title passes to the consignee concurrent with the consignee’s shipment to the customer. The customer has no cancellation privileges after shipment, other than customary rights of return. The Company excludes sales tax collected and remitted to various states from sales and cost of sales.
CustomerPrograms
Customer programs, which include customer promotional discount programs, customer incentives, and other payments, are a common practice in the alcohol beverage industry. The Company makes these payments to customers and incurs these costs to promote sales of products and to maintain competitive pricing. Amounts paid in connection with customer programs and incentives are recorded as reductions to net sales or as sales and marketing expenses in accordance with ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, based on the nature of the expenditure. Amounts paid to customers totaled $0.7 million and $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
ExciseTaxes
The Company is responsible for compliance with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (“TTB”) regulations, which includes making timely and accurate excise tax payments. The Company is subject to periodic compliance audits by the TTB. Individual states also impose excise taxes on alcohol beverages in varying amounts. The Company calculates its excise tax expense based upon units produced and sold and on its understanding of the applicable excise tax laws. Excise taxes totaled $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Stock-BasedCompensation
The Company recognizes as compensation expense all stock-based awards issued to employees. The compensation cost is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the related stock-based awards and is recognized over the service period of stock-based awards, which is generally the same as the vesting period. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which estimates the fair value of each award on the date of grant based on a variety of assumptions including expected stock price volatility, expected terms of the awards, risk-free interest rate, and dividend rates, if applicable. Stock-based awards issued to nonemployees are recorded at fair value on the measurement date and are subject to periodic market adjustments at the end of each reporting period and as the underlying stock-based awards vest. Stock-based compensation was $0.9 and $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
DiscontinuedOperations
The Company reports discontinued operations by applying the following criteria in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-20 – Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations: (1) Component of an entity; (2) Held for sale criteria; (3) Strategic shift. During the first quarter of 2020, management made a strategic shift to focus the Company’s sales and marketing efforts on the nationally branded product platform, resulting in the decision to close / abandon all four of its retail tasting rooms in the Portland, Oregon area by March 31, 2020. This decision meets the criteria (1) - (3) for reporting discontinued operations, and as a result, the retail operations have been reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In the current period, the income, expense, and cash flows from retail operations during the period they were consolidated have been classified as discontinued operations. For comparative purposes, amounts in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. Additionally, the assets and liabilities from retail operations are shown on the balance sheet as assets and liabilities for discontinued operations.

Cashand Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are considered to be highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of the purchase. The Company had no cash equivalents at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
FairValue Measurements
GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. GAAP permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and contains financial statement presentation and disclosure requirements for assets and liabilities for which the fair value option is elected. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, management has not elected to report any of the Company’s assets or liabilities at fair value under the “fair value option” provided by GAAP.

The hierarchy of fair value valuation techniques under GAAP provides for three levels: Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3, if applicable, generally would require significant management judgment. The three levels for categorizing assets and liabilities under GAAP’s fair value measurement requirements are as follows:
| Level<br> 1: | Fair<br> value of the asset or liability is determined using cash or unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets<br> or liabilities. |
|---|---|
| Level<br> 2: | Fair<br> value of the asset or liability is determined using inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the applicable<br> asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar (as opposed to identical) assets or liabilities<br> in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
| Level<br> 3: | Fair<br> value of the asset or liability is determined using unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement<br> and reflect management’s own assumptions regarding the applicable asset or liability. |
None of the Company’s assets or liabilities were measured at fair value at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. However, GAAP requires the disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments that are not measured at fair value. Financial instruments consist principally of trade receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, and convertible notes payable. The estimated fair value of trade receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximates their carrying value due to the short period of time to their maturities. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s notes payable are at fixed rates and their carrying value approximates fair value.
ItemsMeasured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain assets and liabilities acquired in a business acquisition are valued at fair value at the date of acquisition.
Inventories
Inventories primarily consist of bulk and bottled liquor, raw packaging material for bottling, raw cans for Craft Canning, and merchandise and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using an average costing methodology, which approximates cost under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. A portion of inventory is held by certain independent distributors on consignment until it is sold to a third party. The Company regularly monitors inventory quantities on hand and records write-downs for excess and obsolete inventories based primarily on the Company’s estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements. Such write-downs establish a new cost basis of accounting for the related inventory. The Company recorded an inventory allowance of $0.3 million for obsolete inventory for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and no write-downs of inventory for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
Propertyand Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to seven years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the life of the lease or the useful lives of the assets, whichever is shorter. The cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization of property and equipment sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reported as current period income or expense. The costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
IntangibleAssets / Goodwill
The Company accounts for long-lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets, at amortized cost. Management reviews long-lived assets for probable impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If there is an indication of impairment, management would prepare an estimate of future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these estimated cash flows were less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss would be recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. The Company performed a qualitative assessment of goodwill at September 30, 2020 and determined that goodwill was not impaired.

Long-livedAssets
The Company accounts for long-lived assets, including property and equipment, at amortized cost. Management reviews long-lived assets for probable impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If there is an indication of impairment, management would prepare an estimate of future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these estimated cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss would be recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value.
IncomeTaxes
The provision for income taxes is based on income and expenses as reported for financial statement purposes using the “asset and liability method” for accounting for deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled.
As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company established valuation allowances against its net deferred tax assets.
Income tax positions that meet the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of income tax benefit that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with income tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above would be reflected as a liability for unrecognized income tax benefits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized income tax benefits would be classified as additional income taxes in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. There were no unrecognized income tax benefits, nor any interest and penalties associated with unrecognized income tax benefits, accrued or expensed at and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.
The Company files federal income tax returns in the U.S. and various state income tax returns. The Company is no longer subject to examinations by the related tax authorities for the Company’s U.S. federal and state income tax returns for years prior to 2012.
ComprehensiveIncome
The Company does not have any reconciling other comprehensive income items for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

AccountsReceivable Factoring Program
The Company has entered into two accounts receivable factoring programs. One for its spirits customers (the “spirits program”) and another for its co-packing customers (the “co-packing program”). Under the programs, the Company has the option to sell certain customer account receivables in advance of payment for 75% (spirits program) or 85% (co-packing program) of the amount due. When the customer remits payment, the Company receives the remaining balance. For the spirits program, interest is charged on the advanced 75% payment at a rate of 2.4% for the first 30 days plus 1.44% for each additional ten-day period. For the co-packing program, interest is charged against the greater of $500,000 or the total funds advanced at a rate of 5% plus the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal. Under the terms of both agreements, the factoring provider has full recourse against the Company should the customer fail to pay the invoice. In accordance with ASC 860, we have concluded that these agreements have met all three conditions identified in ASC 860-10-40-5 (a) – (c) and have accounted for this activity as a sale. Given the quality of the factored accounts, the Company has not recognized a recourse obligation. In certain limited instances, the Company may provide collection services on the factored accounts but does not receive any fees for acting as the collection agent, and as such, the Company has not recognized a service obligation asset or liability. The Company factored $6.7 million of invoices and incurred $0.14 million in fees associated with the factoring programs during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. At September 30, 2020, the Company had $0.9 million factored invoices outstanding.

RecentlyAdopted Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Simplifying the Test for GoodwillImpairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 will simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Current guidance requires that companies compute the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2 by performing procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. ASU 2017-04 will require companies to perform annual or interim goodwill impairment tests by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. However, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and will be applied prospectively. Early adoption of this standard is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-04 as of January 1, 2020. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2017-04 had any material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

| 4. | Business Acquisitions |
|---|
During the fiscal year 2019, the Company completed the following acquisitions:
CraftCanning + Bottling
On January 11, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of Craft Canning + Bottling, LLC (“Craft Canning”), a Portland, Oregon-based provider of bottling and canning services. The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 include Craft Canning’s results of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Craft Canning’s results of operations are included from the acquisition date of January 11, 2019 through September 30, 2019. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the final purchase accounting adjustments in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, whereby the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values on the acquisition date.
The allocation of the purchase price is as follows:
| Consideration given: | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 338,212 shares of common<br> stock valued at $6.15 per share | $ | 2,080,004 | |
| Cash | 2,003,200 | ||
| Notes<br> payable | 761,678 | ||
| Total value<br> of acquisition | $ | 4,844,882 | |
| Assets and liabilities acquired: | |||
| Cash | $ | 553,283 | |
| Trade receivables,<br> net | 625,717 | ||
| Inventories, net | 154,824 | ||
| Prepaid expenses<br> and current assets | 250 | ||
| Property and equipment,<br> net | 1,839,486 | ||
| Right-of-use assets | 232,884 | ||
| Intangible assets<br> - customer list | 2,895,318 | ||
| Other assets | 26,600 | ||
| Accounts payable | (231,613 | ) | |
| Accrued liabilities | (74,389 | ) | |
| Deferred revenue | (52,000 | ) | |
| Lease liabilities | (256,375 | ) | |
| Notes<br> payable | (869,103 | ) | |
| Total | $ | 4,844,882 |
Intangible assets are recorded at estimated fair value, as determined by management based on available information. The fair value assigned to the customer list intangible asset was determined through the use of the income approach, specifically the relief from royalty and the multi-period excess earning methods. The major assumptions used in arriving at the estimated identifiable intangible asset value included management’s estimates of future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate rate of return which is based on the weighted average cost of capital for both the Company and other market participants, projected customer attrition rates, as well as applicable royalty rates for comparable assets. The useful lives for intangible assets were determined based upon the remaining useful economic lives of the tangible assets that are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. The customer relationships estimated useful life is seven years.
The Company incurred acquisition costs of $0.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 that have been recorded in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations. The results of the Craft acquisition are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition through September 30, 2020. The revenue and net profit of Craft operations included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations were $6.7 million and $0.7 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The revenue and net income (including transaction costs) of Craft operations included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations were $5.9 million and $0.5 million for the period from January 11, 2019 through September 30, 2019.

AzuñiaTequila
On September 12, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of the Azuñia Tequila brand, the direct sales team, existing product inventory, supply chain relationships and contractual agreements from Intersect Beverage, LLC, an importer and distributor of tequila and related products. The Company’s consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 include the Azuñia Tequila assets and results of operations.
The acquisition was structured as an all-stock transaction, provided that the Company may, at its election, pay a portion of the consideration in cash or by executing a three-year promissory note if the issuance of stock would require the Company to hold a vote of its stockholders under the applicable Nasdaq rules. Subject to compliance with applicable Nasdaq rules, the initial consideration, will be payable approximately 18 months following the closing and will consist of 850,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a stipulated value of $6.00 per share, 350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock based on the Company’s stock price twelve months after the close of the transaction, and additional shares based on the Azuñia business achieving certain revenue targets and the Company’s stock price 18 months after the close of the transaction. The Company has also agreed to issue additional stock consideration (subject to compliance with applicable Nasdaq rules) of up to $1.5 million upon the Azuñia business achieving revenue of at least $9.45 million in the period commencing on the 13th month following the closing and ending on the 24th month following the closing.
The Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect the final purchase accounting adjustments in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”, whereby the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired based upon their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The Company estimated the purchase price based on weighted probabilities of future results and recorded deferred consideration payable of $12.8 million on the acquisition date that will be remeasured to fair value at each reporting date until the contingencies are resolved, with the changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The Company remeasured the deferred consideration payable for the period ended December 31, 2019 and increased the liability by $2.7 million to a balance of $15.5 million. No adjustment was made to the deferred consideration payable for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020.
The allocation of the purchase price is as follows:
| Consideration given: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Deferred<br> consideration payable | $ | 12,781,092 |
| Total value<br> of acquisition | $ | 12,781,092 |
| Assets acquired: | ||
| Inventories, net | $ | 836,026 |
| Intangible<br> assets - brand | 11,945,066 | |
| Total | $ | 12,781,092 |
Intangible assets are recorded at estimated fair value, as determined by management based on available information. The fair value assigned to the brand intangible asset was determined through the use of the market approach. The major assumptions used in arriving at the estimated identifiable intangible asset value included category averages for comparable acquisitions, including multiples of annual sales and dollars per case sold. The brand has an indefinite life and will not be amortized.
The results of the Azuñia Tequila asset acquisition are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The sales of Azuñia Tequila products included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations were $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Amortization expense totaled $0.08 million and $0.05 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.
In September 2020, the Company had received the remaining balance of the notes receivable from Wineonline.com.
The deposits represent office lease deposits.
| 9. | Leases |
|---|
The Company has various lease agreements in place for facilities and equipment. Terms of these leases include, in some instances, scheduled rent increases, renewals, purchase options, and maintenance costs, and vary by lease. These lease obligations expire at various dates through 2025. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company does not currently have any finance leases. As the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement to determine the present value of the lease payments. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (“short-term leases”) are not recorded on the balance sheet and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In September 2020, the Company entered into two new lease agreements for canning and bottling production facilities in Seattle and Denver. Both leases contain fixed payments that increase over the term of their respective agreement. As of September 30, 2020, the amount of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were both $1.4 million. Aggregate lease expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $0.5 million, consisting of $0.4 million in operating lease expense for lease liabilities and $0.1 million in short-term lease cost.
Maturities of lease liabilities as of September 30, 2020 are as follows:
| Operating Leases | Weighted- Average Remaining Term in Years | ||||

On January 15, 2020, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) between the Company which includes its wholly-owned subsidiaries MotherLode LLC, an Oregon limited liability company, Big Bottom Distilling, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company, Craft Canning + Bottling, LLC, an Oregon limited liability company, Redneck Riviera Whiskey Co., LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company, and Outlandish Beverages LLC, an Oregon limited liability company collectively, (the “Borrowers” and each a “Borrower”) and Live Oak Banking Company, a North Carolina banking corporation (the “Lender”) to refinance existing debt of the Borrowers and to provide funding for general working capital purposes. Under the Loan Agreement, the Lender has committed to make up to two loan advances to the Borrowers in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) $8,000,000 and (ii) a borrowing base equal to 85% of the appraised value of the Borrowers’ eligible inventory of whisky in barrels or totes less an amount equal to all service fees or rental payments owed by the Borrowers during the 90 day period immediately succeeding the date of determination to any warehouses or bailees holding eligible inventory (the “Loan”).
The Loan matures on January 14, 2021 (the “Maturity Date”). On the Maturity Date, all amounts outstanding under the Loan will become due and payable. The Lender may at any time demand repayment of the Loan in whole or in part, in which case the Borrowers will be obligated to repay the Loan (or portion thereof for which repayment is demanded) within 30 days following the date of demand. The Borrowers may prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium.
The Loan bears interest at a rate equal to the prime rate plus a spread of 2.49%, adjusted quarterly. Accrued interest is payable monthly, with the final installment of interest being due and payable on the Maturity Date. The Borrowers are also obligated to pay a servicing fee, unused commitment fee and origination fee in connection with the Loan. The Company paid $0.3 million in interest as of September 30, 2020.
The Loan Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that include covenants restricting each Company’s ability to, among other things, incur indebtedness, grant liens, dispose of assets, merge or consolidate, make investments, or enter into restrictive agreements, subject to certain exceptions.
The obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of their respective assets, except for accounts receivable and certain other specified excluded property.
The Loan Agreement includes customary events of default that include among other things, non-payment defaults, covenant defaults, inaccuracy of representations and warranties, cross default to material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults and change in control defaults. Under certain circumstances, a default interest rate will apply on all obligations during the existence of an event of default under the Loan Agreement at a per annum rate equal to 2.00% above the applicable interest rate.
In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company issued to the Lender a warrant to purchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $3.9425 per share (the “Warrant”). The Warrant expires on January 15, 2025. In connection with the issuance of the Warrant, the Company granted the Lender piggy-back registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, subject to certain exceptions.
On January 16, 2020, in connection with the Company’s consummation of the Loan Agreement, Eastside repaid in full and terminated the Secured Line of Credit Promissory Note that Eastside had issued to TQLA, LLC (“Holder”) on November 29, 2019 (the “TQLA Note”). Since Eastside repaid the TQLA Note in full prior to its maturity date, the Common Stock Purchase Warrant that Eastside had issued to Holder on November 29, 2019 is not be exercisable and is cancelled. No prepayment or early termination penalties were incurred by Eastside as a result of repaying the TQLA Note. In addition, Eastside repaid in full and terminated the $3,000,000 credit and security agreement (the “Credit and Security Agreement”), by and between the Company and The KFK Children’s Trust, Jeffrey Anderson – Trustee (the “Lender”). The Company paid $27,015 in interest on the TQLA Note and $17,117 in interest on the Credit and Security Agreement during the first quarter of 2020.
On May 13, 2020, Live Oak Banking Company (the “Lender”) notified the Company that it was in technical default under certain covenants in a loan agreement, dated January 15, 2020, between the Company, Motherlode LLC, Big Bottom Distilling, LLC, Craft Canning + Bottling LLC, Redneck Riviera Whiskey Co., LLC, Outlandish Beverages LLC, and Live Oak Bank (the “Loan Agreement”). Those technical defaults included the failure to timely deliver information and its belief that the Company owed certain taxes and did not relate to any failure to pay amounts owing under the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement provides that upon an event of default, the Lender may, at its option, declare the entire loan to be immediately due and payable. Further, a default interest rate may apply on all obligations during the existence of an event of default at a per annum rate equal to 2.00% above the applicable interest rate. On June 3, 2020 the Company entered into a Second Modification to Loan Agreement (“Modification”) with the Lender agreeing to waive the technical defaults upon the satisfaction of certain conditions by September 30, 2020. The Company complied with these conditions and was compliant with the terms of the Loan Agreement and Modification as of November 12, 2020.

LegalMatters
The Company is not currently subject to any material legal proceedings; however, it could be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, or legal proceedings it considered immaterial may in the future become material. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can, among other things, be time consuming and expensive to resolve, and can divert management resources.
| 13. | Net Loss per Common Share |
|---|
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without considering any dilutive items. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the potential number of any dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities consist of the incremental common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options and convertible notes. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. There were no dilutive common shares at September 30, 2020 and 2019. The numerators and denominators used in computing basic and diluted net loss per common share in 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

Stock-BasedCompensation
On September 8, 2016, the Company adopted the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). Pursuant to the terms of the plan, on January 1, 2020, the number of shares available for grant under the 2016 Plan reset to 2,887,005 shares, equal to 8% of the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock, calculated on an as-converted basis, on December 31 of the preceding calendar year, and then added to the prior year plan amount. As of September 30, 2020, there have been 640,825 options and 1,061,174 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) issued under the 2016 Plan, with vesting schedules varying between immediate and five (5) years from the grant date.

The Company also issues, from time to time, options that are not registered under a formal option plan. At September 30, 2020, there were no options outstanding that were not issued under the Plans.
A summary of all stock option activity at and for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is presented below:
| #<br> of Options | Weighted- Average<br> <br>Exercise Price | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outstanding at December<br> 31, 2019 | 784,101 | $ | 5.65 | ||

| Exercisable<br> at September 30, 2020 | 454,767 | $ | 5.05 |
The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding at September 30, 2020 was $0.
At September 30, 2020, there were 113,833 unvested options with an aggregate grant date fair value of $278,660. The unvested options will vest in accordance with the vesting schedule in each respective option agreement, which varies between immediate and five (5) years from the grant date. The aggregate intrinsic value of unvested options at September 30, 2020 was $0. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, 69,431 options became vested.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to measure the grant-date fair value of stock options.

To determine the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model, the calculation takes into consideration the effect of the following:
| ● | Exercise<br> price of the option |
|---|---|
| ● | Fair<br> value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant |
| ● | Expected<br> term of the option |
| ● | Expected<br> volatility over the expected term of the option |
| ● | Risk-free<br> interest rate for the expected term of the option |
The calculation includes several assumptions that require management’s judgment. The expected term of the options is calculated using the simplified method described in GAAP. The simplified method defines the expected term as the average of the contractual term and the vesting period. Estimated volatility is derived from volatility calculated using historical closing prices of common shares of similar entities whose share prices are publicly available for the expected term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturities in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the options.
The Company did not issue any additional options during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, total stock compensation expense related to stock options was $223,816 and $596,852, respectively. At September 30, 2020, the total compensation cost related to stock options not yet recognized is approximately $935,755, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.11 years.
Warrants
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued an aggregate of 100,000 common stock warrants in connection with the Secured Credit Facility from Live Oak Bank. The estimated fair value of the warrants of $97,800 was recorded as debt issuance cost and will be amortized to interest expense over the maturity period of the secured credit facility, with $73,350 recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Warrants issued to three shareholders during 2017 and 2018 vest quarterly for 3 years and resulted in $18,791 worth of amortization expense for the nine months ending September 30, 2020.
The estimated fair value of the warrants at issuance was based on a combination of closing market trading price on the date of issuance for the warrants, and the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the weighted-average assumptions below:
| Volatility | 40 | % | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Risk-free interest rate | 1.54 | % | |
| Expected term (in years) | 5.0 | ||
| Expected dividend yield | - | ||
| Fair value of common stock | $ | 3.20 |
No warrants were exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Our overall strategy is to continue to build on our reputation for producing premium spirits, beverages, and services on a national platform. We are focusing our core competency around brands, product marketing, and distribution. We will build our branded spirits and mobile canning and bottling service division both organically and through acquisition to capture growth in the spirits, cocktails, and packaging services.
We strive to strengthen our portfolio as we focus on five key objectives for sustainable growth. These five objectives include (1) achieving cash neutral quarterly operating results, (2) restructuring and extending remaining debt, notes, and the Azuñia earnout beyond 2021, (3) adding liquidity for short term working capital, (4) building a spirits brand portfolio plan that grows volume with profit focused on the Azuñia Brand, and further depletion of remaining barrel inventory, and (5) implementing a strategic growth plan for Craft Canning.
Our partnership capabilities were first demonstrated by our licensing and launch of our Redneck Riviera Whiskey brands (“RRW”). Our RRW brand went from idea, to market roll-out in less than nine months and achieved national distribution in 49 states within 18 months. We proved how our team could leverage its market position to successfully launch a nascent or new brand, while demonstrating our ability to focus and dedicate more of our attention to developing innovative products.
In May 2017, we acquired 90% of Big Bottom Distilling, LLC (“BBD”), known for its award-winning, super-premium gins and whiskeys, and American Single Malt Whiskey. BBD’s super-premium spirits give us a presence at the “ultra-premium segment” of the market. In December 2018, we acquired the remaining 10% of BBD. In September 2019, we also acquired the high-end, luxury tequila brand, Azuñia, to complement our portfolio and provide us with a larger established brand in the high-growth tequila category. In addition, through MotherLode Craft Distillery (“MotherLode”), our wholly-owned subsidiary acquired in March 2017, and Craft Canning + Bottling, LLC (formerly known as Craft Canning, LLC) (“Craft Canning”), which we acquired in January 2019, we provide contract bottling, canning, and packaging services for existing and emerging beer, wine, and spirits producers. We intend to use our mobile canning operations to profit from the rapid growth in the canned beverages industry. As the COVID-19 pandemic developed, craft brewers turned to mobile canning to support their operations as the market transitioned from kegged beer to canned beer.

RecentDevelopments
During the first nine months of 2020, Craft Canning has experienced an increase in demand and revenue growth as customers are continuing to prefer to fill cans for a wider off-premise usage. In order to meet this demand, the Company has invested in additional canning lines. Throughout 2020 the canning industry has faced a shortage of aluminum cans. However, we believe we have sourced enough cans to supply our current business plan. While off-premise business has seen an increase in spirits sales, the customer focus has been on major brands and larger format bottles which we do not currently have on the national platform. Other parts of our business were negatively affected by mandated lockdowns and other related restrictions including a decrease in sales volume in “on-premise” accounts, where products are typically consumed immediately, such as bars and restaurants. This negative trend has continued through the year.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has implemented specific measures to reduce the spread of the virus including having our employees work remotely whenever possible, screening visitors and workers before entering facilities, requiring visitors and employees to wear masks, and encouraging social distancing. These preventive measures have been effective as evidenced by the minimal number of COVID-19 cases between our workforce, vendors, and customers.

Since 2018, Eastside Distilling has transformed from a small regional craft distiller serving the northwest, principally Oregon, to a nationally recognized purveyor of high quality above premium spirit brands throughout the United States. We have grown organically as well as through brand licensing and acquisitions. In 2019, we acquired Craft Canning + Bottling, LLC (“Craft Canning”), a mobile canning and bottling company driving growth in our non-spirits and service revenue. Additionally, we introduced three brand extensions and acquired the Azuñia tequila brand, fueling growth in spirits sales.
Our mission is to build craft inspired experiential brands and high-quality artisan products around premium spirits and Ready to Drink (“RTD”) craft cocktails. We will focus our core competency around brands, product marketing and distribution. We are building our branded spirits and mobile canning and bottling service division both organically and through acquisition to capture growth in the spirits, wine, beer, and RTD categories. Our growth in the mobile canning and bottling services is being driven through Craft Canning.
During the first quarter of 2020, the Company focused its sales and marketing efforts on the distribution of our brands through the national platform, resulting in the decision to close all four of its retail stores in Portland, Oregon by March 31, 2020. The retail operations have been reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In the current year, the income, expense, and cash flows from retail operations during the period they were consolidated have been classified as discontinued operations. For comparative purposes amounts in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

ThreeMonths Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2019
Sales
Our sales for the three months ended September 30, 2020 increased to $4.8 million, or approximately 7%, from $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The following table compares our sales in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, and excludes the retail tasting room sales that have been classified as discontinued operations:
(Dollars in thousands)
| Three<br> Months Ended September 30 | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2019 | |||||||
| Wholesale Finished Goods | $ | 2,176 | 45 | % | $ | 2,121 | 47 | % |
| Canning & Bottling | 2,635 | 55 | % | 2,117 | 47 | % | ||
| Bulk Spirit Sales | 14 | 0 | % | 272 | 6 | % | ||
| Total | $ | 4,825 | 100 | % | $ | 4,510 | 100 | % |
The increase in sales in the three months ended September 30, 2020 is primarily driven by increases in canning and bottling sales. Canning and bottling revenue increased $0.5 million year over year primarily due to the shift in demand for craft beer to be distributed in cans rather than kegs as customers adapted to changing consumer preferences due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Customerprograms and excise taxes
Customer programs and excise taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2020 increased to $0.3 million, or approximately 47%, from $0.2 million compared to the same 2019 period. The increase is primarily due to higher customer programs and incentives associated with the driving case sales of the Azuñia brand.
Costof Sales
Cost of sales consists of the costs of ingredients utilized in the production of spirits, manufacturing labor and overhead, warehousing rent, packaging, and in-bound freight charges. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, cost of sales increased to $2.9 million, or approximately 12%, from $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase is primarily attributable to a change in wholesale finished goods product mix driven by increased Azuñia Tequila sales which has a higher cost of sales compared to Redneck Riviera Whiskey.
GrossProfit
Gross profit is calculated by subtracting the cost of sales from net sales. Gross margin is gross profits stated as a percentage of net sales.
The following table compares our gross profit and gross margin in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:
(Dollars in thousands)
| Three<br> Months Ended September 30, | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2019 | |||||
| Gross profit | $ | 1,599 | $ | 1,689 | ||
| Gross margin | 36 | % | 39 | % |
GrossMargin
Our gross margin of 36% of net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased from our gross margin of 39% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to a change in product and services mix. Our goal is to improve our overall gross margin by increasing the efficiencies and reducing the footprint of our production facility as well as evaluate the materials in our finished goods by looking to create economies of scale by creating consistency of the dry goods across our brands.

Salesand Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased to $0.9 million, or approximately 51%, from $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease is primarily due to a restructuring which included a reduction of headcount and tactical marketing spend as well as a $0.1 million decrease in travel and entertainment due to COVID-19 travel restrictions and was partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in sales and marketing compensation.
Generaland Administrative Expenses
(Dollars in thousands)
| Three<br> Months Ended September 30 | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| General<br> and administrative expenses | 2020 | 2019 | ||||||
| Compensation and benefits | $ | 767 | 32 | % | $ | 683 | 21 | % |
| Legal and professional | $ | 236 | 10 | % | $ | 791 | 25 | % |
| Rent, insurance and other | $ | 461 | 20 | % | $ | 889 | 28 | % |
| Stock-based compensation & stock<br> for services (non-cash) | $ | 313 | 13 | % | $ | 507 | 16 | % |
| Depreciation<br> and amortization (non-cash) | $ | 589 | 25 | % | $ | 354 | 11 | % |
| Total general<br> and administrative expense | $ | 2,366 | 100 | % | $ | 3,224 | 100 | % |
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased to $2.3 million, or approximately 26%, from $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in legal and professional fees and rent, insurance, and other miscellaneous general and administrative costs and is offset by higher non-cash expenses related to depreciation and amortization from the Craft Canning acquisition and leasehold improvements to our production facility.
OtherExpenses
Total other expense, net was $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of 118%. This increase was primarily due to higher interest expense on increased notes payable, secured line of credit, and accounts receivable factoring programs in 2020.
NetLoss
Net loss attributable to common shareholders during the three months ended September 30, 2020 was $1.8 million as compared to a loss of $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in our net loss was primarily attributable to a $0.9 million decrease in selling and marketing expenses, a $0.9 million decrease in general and administrative expense as well as a $0.5 million increase in canning and bottling service revenue and was partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in cost of sales and a $0.1 increase in customer programs and incentives.

Ninemonths ended September 30, 2020 Compared to the Nine months ended September 30, 2019
Sales
Our sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased to $12.9 million, or approximately 7%, from $12. million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The following table compares our sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, and excludes the retail tasting room sales that have been classified as Discontinued Operations:
(Dollars in thousands)
| Nine<br> months ended September 30, | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2019 | |||||||
| Wholesale Finished Goods | $ | 6,096 | 47 | % | $ | 4,868 | 41 | % |
| Canning & Bottling | 6,692 | 52 | % | 6,566 | 55 | % | ||
| Bulk Spirit Sales | 74 | 1 | % | 539 | 5 | % | ||
| Total | $ | 12,862 | 100 | % | $ | 11,973 | 100 | % |
The increase in sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is primarily driven by increases in wholesale sales. Wholesale sales increased primarily due to the acquisition of the Azuñia tequila brand in September 2019, which accounted for $2.0 million increase over last year as well as a $0.2 million increase in Portland Potato Vodka brand sales which was partially offset by a decrease of $1.1 million in sales of Redneck Riviera Whiskey over the same period last year. Our canning and bottling revenue increased year over year which has benefited from a shift in consumer preferences to consume alcohol at home rather than at on-premise locations. This was a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and was also offset by lower co-packing and mobile bottling sales.
Customerprograms and excise taxes
Customer programs and excise taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 increased to $1.0 million, or approximately 63%, from $0.6 for the comparable 2019 period. The increase was attributable to higher federal excise tax expense, as well as an increase in customer programs due to increased distribution.
Costof Sales
Cost of sales consists of the costs of ingredients utilized in the production of spirits, manufacturing labor and overhead, warehousing rent, packaging, and in-bound freight charges. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, cost of sales increased to $7.8 million, or approximately 9%, from $7.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase is primarily attributable to a change in wholesale finished goods product mix driven by increased Azuñia Tequila sales which has a higher cost of sales compared to Redneck Riviera which experienced decreased sales compared to the same period last year.
GrossProfit
Gross profit is calculated by subtracting the cost of sales from net sales. Gross margin is gross profits stated as a percentage of net sales.
The following table compares our gross profit and gross margin in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019:
| Nine<br> months ended June 30, | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2019 | |||||
| Gross profit | $ | 4,040 | $ | 4,192 | ||
| Gross margin | 34 | % | 37 | % |
GrossMargin
Our gross margin of 34% of net sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased from our gross margin of 37% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to a change in product and services mix, higher raw material costs, and unabsorbed manufacturing overhead related to lower wholesale production levels. Our goal is to improve our overall gross margin by increasing the efficiencies and reducing the footprint of our production facility as well as evaluate the materials in our finished goods by looking to create economies of scale by creating consistency of the dry goods across our brands.

Salesand Marketing Expenses
Sales and marketing expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased to $3.7 million, or approximately 15%, from $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease is primarily due to a $1.2 million decrease in tactical marketing spend as well a $0.4 million decrease in travel and entertainment due to COVID-19 travel restrictions which was partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in sales and marketing compensation related to the increased headcount from the acquisition of the Azuñia tequila brand.

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased to $6.9 million, or approximately 20%, from $8.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in compensation and benefits, legal and professional fees and rent, insurance and other miscellaneous general and administrative costs and is offset by higher non-cash expenses related to depreciation and amortization from the Craft Canning acquisition and leasehold improvements to our production facility.
OtherExpenses
Total other expense, net was $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of 179%. This increase was primarily due to higher interest expense on increased notes payable, secured line of credit, and accounts receivable factoring programs in 2020.
NetLoss
Net loss attributable to common shareholders during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $7.3 million as compared to a loss of $9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in our net loss was primarily attributable to a $1.7 million reduction in general and administrative expense as well as a $0.9 increase in gross sales partially offset by a $0.5 increase in interest expense and a $0.6 increase in cost of sales.
Liquidityand Capital Resources
Our primary capital requirements are for cash used in operating activities, the financing of inventories, and financing acquisitions. Funds for our cash and liquidity needs have historically not been generated from operations but rather from short-term credit in the form of extended payment terms from suppliers as well as from convertible debt and equity financings.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, we incurred a net loss of approximately $7.5 million and $9.4 million, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of approximately $51.7 million as of September 30, 2020. We have been dependent on raising capital from debt and equity financings and utilization of our inventory to meet our needs for cash flow used in operating activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we raised approximately $3.2 million in additional capital through equity and debt financing (net of repayments). See Notes 10 and 11 to our financial statements for a description of our debt. In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we consumed $2.0 million of our inventories.
To help ensure adequate liquidity in light of uncertainties posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company applied for and has received a loan of $1.4 million under the U.S. government Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP Loan”). On April 23, 2020, the Small Business Administration issued new guidance that questioned whether a public company with substantial market value and access to capital markets would qualify to participate in the Paycheck Protection Program. Should we be audited or reviewed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury as a result of filing an application for forgiveness or otherwise, such audit or review could result in the diversion of management’s time and attention and legal and reputational costs. If we were to be audited and receive an adverse finding in such audit, we could be required to return the full amount of the Paycheck Protection Program loan, which could reduce our liquidity, and potentially subject us to fines and penalties.
On May 13, 2020, Live Oak Banking Company (the “Lender”) notified the Company that it was in technical default under certain covenants in a loan agreement, dated January 15, 2020, between the Company, Motherlode LLC, Big Bottom Distilling, LLC, Craft Canning + Bottling LLC, Redneck Riviera Whiskey Co., LLC, Outlandish Beverages LLC, and Live Oak Bank (the “Loan Agreement”). Those technical defaults included the failure to timely deliver information and its belief that we owed certain taxes and did not relate to any failure to pay amounts owing under the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement provides that upon an event of default, the Lender may, at its option, declare the entire loan to be immediately due and payable. Further, a default interest rate may apply on all obligations during the existence of an event of default at a per annum rate equal to 2.00% above the applicable interest rate. On June 3, 2020 the Company entered into a Second Modification to Loan Agreement (“Modification”) with the Lender agreeing to waive the technical defaults upon the satisfaction of certain conditions by September 30, 2020. The Company complied with these conditions and was compliant with the terms of the Loan Agreement and Modification as of November 12, 2020.

At September 30, 2020, we had approximately $1.0 million of cash on hand with a negative working capital of $16.6 million. Our ability to meet our ongoing operating cash needs over the next 12 months depends on reducing our operating costs, raising additional debt or equity capital, selling assets and generating positive operating cash flow, primarily through increased sales, improved profit growth, and controlling expenses. We intend to implement actions to improve profitability, by managing expenses while continuing to increase sales. See Notes 10 and 11 to our financial statements for a description of our debt and the debt financing initiatives completed in the first three quarters of 2020. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, or additional financing is not available on acceptable terms, we may seek to sell assets, reduce operating expenses, reduce or eliminate marketing initiatives, and take other measures that could impair our ability to be successful.
Our cash flow related information for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:
(Dollars in thousands)

| Investing activities | $ | 209 | $ | (3,781 | ) | |
| Financing activities | $ | 3,236 | $ | 1,529 |
OperatingActivities
Total cash used from operating activities was $2.7 million compared to $7.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in cash usage can primarily be attributed to a $2.3 million decrease in marketing and administrative cash expenditures, utilization of $2.0 million in existing inventories compared to a cash use of $0.3 million for inventories in 2019, and improved management of receivables and prepayments of $0.6 million which was offset by $0.3 million used in reducing operating liabilities.
InvestingActivities
Cash used in investing activities consists primarily of acquisitions and purchases of property and equipment. We incurred capital expenditures of $0.4 million and $2.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Proceeds from sales of fixed assets totaled $0.6 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2020. Net cash used in the acquisition of Craft Canning in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $1.4 million.
FinancingActivities
Net cash flows provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 primarily consisted of $6.3 million of proceeds from the establishment of a new secured credit facility, offset by $3.0 million repayment and termination of the existing secured credit facility and $1.5 million in debt repayments, $1.4 million of proceeds from the Paycheck Protection Program and $0.1 million in proceeds from borrowing on an existing line of credit with our bank. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, our operating losses and working capital needs were primarily funded by issuance of common stock totaling $1.3 million.
CriticalAccounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These items are monitored and analyzed by management for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. The more judgmental estimates are summarized below. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate.
| 35 |
| --- |
Management believes that there have been no significant changes to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.
Off-BalanceSheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
ITEM3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this item.
ITEM4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) that are designed to provide reasonable assurances that the information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
We conducted an evaluation (pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act)), under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officers, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2020.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PARTII: OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings; however, we could be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, or legal proceedings we considered immaterial may in the future become material. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can, among other things, be time consuming and expensive to resolve, and divert management resources.
ITEM1A – RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and incorporated therein by reference.
Theimpacts of the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect our business, and other similar crises could result in similar or otherharms.
Our business is susceptible to disruption from any number of possible crises. The impact of consumer business and government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the operations and financial condition of many businesses. Those include employees being required to work remotely, not travel and otherwise alter their normal working conditions. For instance, our sales staff have had limited opportunity to interact with customers. Businesses have been closed, including establishments that sell our products, and supply chains and manufacturing have been disrupted. Consumer buying habits have shifted and may continue to shift, which may result in fewer sales of our products. These and other impacts from the COVID-19 and any other similar crisis could have a material impact on our operations and financial results.
In addition, our results and financial condition may be adversely affected by federal or state legislation (or other similar laws, regulations, orders or other governmental or regulatory actions or best practices) that would impose new or more severe restrictions on our ability to operate our business or impact the economy or our customers and suppliers, a severe downturn in the economy or financial and lending markets, a requirement by the government that we repay our PPP Loan if it determines we did not act in good faith, or other matters.
The degree to which COVID-19 may impact our results of operations and financial condition is unknown at this time and will depend on future developments, including the ultimate severity and the duration of the pandemic, and further actions that may be taken by governmental authorities or businesses or individuals on their own initiatives in response to the pandemic.
ITEM2 – UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On May 22, 2020, the Company issued 45,553 shares of common stock to consultants for stock-based compensation of $72,885. The shares were valued using the closing share price of our common stock on the date of grant of $1.60 per share.
None of the foregoing transactions involved any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions, general solicitation or any public offering, and the Registrant believes each transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, as stated above. The Registrant believes that the Section 4(a)(2) or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D exemption applies to the transactions described above because such transactions were predicated on the fact that the issuances were made only to investors who (i) confirmed to the Registrant in writing that they are accredited investors, or if not accredited, have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that they are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of their investment; and (ii) either received adequate business and financial information about the Registrant or had access, through their relationships with the Registrant, to such information. Furthermore, the Registrant affixed appropriate legends to the share certificates and instruments issued in each foregoing transaction setting forth that the securities had not been registered and the applicable restrictions on transfer.
