MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

AUDITORS' RESPONSIBILITY

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Note 1 - Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Phil's Fresh Foods, LLC d/b/a EVOL Foods (the "Company") is a Delaware limited liability company. The Company was formed in 2009 with the goal to provide high quality frozen foods made from fresh, all-natural, and organic ingredients. Products offered include burritos, entrée bowls, flatbreads, and pizzas. The Company manufactures the entirety of its sellable product in their manufacturing facility located in Boulder, Colorado. The Company sells its products to retailers in all 50 states either directly or through national distributors.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company continually monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests. As of the balance sheet date, and periodically throughout the year, the Company has maintained balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2012.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

At the time the accounts are originated, the Company considers a reserve for doubtful accounts based on the creditworthiness of the customer. The allowance for doubtful accounts is continually reviewed and adjusted to maintain the allowance at a level considered adequate to cover future losses. The allowance is management's best estimate of uncollectible amounts and is determined based on historical performance that is tracked by the Company on an ongoing basis. The losses ultimately incurred could differ materially in the near term from the amounts estimated in determining the allowance. As of December 31, 2012, the Company determined that it was not necessary to have an allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company grants credit in the normal course of business to customers in the United States. The Company periodically performs credit analysis and monitors the financial condition of its customers to reduce credit risk. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, but generally does not require collateral to support accounts receivable.

 

As of and for the year ended December 31, 2012, two customers accounted for 50% of accounts receivable and 58% of total revenues.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory primarily consists of raw materials and finished goods and is stated at the lower of cost or market, determined using the weighted average cost method. The Company regularly monitors inventory quantities on hand and records write-downs for excess or obsolete inventories on an item by item basis.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Note 1 - Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives for owned assets, ranging from one to ten years.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered. The Company looks primarily to the undiscounted future cash flows in its assessment of whether or not long-lived assets have been impaired. As of December 31, 2012, management determined no impairment existed on long-lived assets.

 

Income Taxes

 

As a limited liability company, the Company does not pay federal or state income taxes. Accordingly, taxable income or losses are included in the income tax returns of the Company's members, and no provision for federal or state income taxes has been recorded on the accompanying financial statements.

 

The Company follows guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. If taxing authorities were to disallow any tax positions taken by the Company, additional income taxes, if any, would be imposed on the members rather than the Company.

 

Interest and penalties associated with tax positions are recorded in the period assessed as general and administrative expenses. No interest or penalties have been assessed for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company's income tax returns for tax years subject to examination by taxing authorities included 2008 and 2009 through the current year for state and federal tax purposes, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes sales when merchandise has been shipped to the customer, no significant continuing obligations exist, and there is reasonable assurance regarding collectibility. Sales are recorded net of estimated incentive discounts, allowances, and slotting fees.

 

Deferred Rent Obligation

 

The Company has entered into an operating lease for its manufacturing facility, which contains provisions for future rent increases. The Company records monthly rent expense equal to the total of the payments due over the lease term, divided by the number of months of the lease term. The difference between rent expense recorded and the amount paid is credited or charged to deferred rent obligation in the accompanying balance sheet.

Advertising Costs

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $249,205.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures 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.

Note 5 - Members' Equity

 

Membership Interest

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Note 5 - Members' Equity (continued)

 

Membership Interest (continued)

 

Conversion Rights

 

The holders of the Preferred Units are entitled to convert their shares into common stock at the option of the holder, at any time, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock. The number of shares of common stock to which a holder of the Preferred Units can convert is obtained by multiplying the conversion rate that is in effect by the number of shares of Preferred Units being converted. The conversion rate is determined by dividing the original issue price by the applicable conversion price. Provisions exist for adjustment to the Preferred Units conversion price upon the sale of additional shares of common stock at a price dilutive to the Preferred unit holders.

 

Redemption Feature

 

Upon a bankruptcy event as defined in the operating agreement, or after December 31, 2016, upon a supermajority vote (75% or more), the preferred A or B unitholders may request redemption of the Preferred Units at the original issue price plus all unpaid preferred return. At the time the unitholders request redemption, the Board of Directors, excluding the Preferred A and B members, have 30 days to discuss whether the redemption notice should be satisfied through a liquidating event or through payment from the Company of all shareholders from funds legally available to the Company. In the event of payment by the Company, half of the units will be redeemed 30 days after the redemption date and half on the first anniversary of the redemption date.

 

Preferred Return

 

The preferred unitholders are entitled to receive a cumulative 8% annual return on all outstanding preferred units. The return is payable only when and if declared by the Board of Directors.

 

Liquidation

 

Upon liquidation of the Company, as defined by the operating agreement, the assets of the Company will be distributed in the following priority; (i) to the preferred unitholders for any unpaid preferred returns; (ii) to the preferred unitholders until their remaining capital accounts are paid in full; and (iii) to all Units outstanding.

 

Preemptive Rights

 

If the Company desires to sell additional Preferred Units (with certain exceptions), the existing preferred unitholders have the right to purchase additional Preferred Units in proportion to their ownership interests before additional Preferred Units are offered to third parties.

Note 5 - Members' Equity (continued)

 

Incentive Unit Plan

 

In March 2009, the Company created a new class of units designated as non-voting incentive units. The incentive units are issuable to members of the Company in exchange for services performed or to be performed and will vest over a period defined in each individual's grant agreement. At December 31, 2012, 493,254 incentive units were outstanding and 248,750 were vested. It was determined by the Company that there was no value to the incentive units granted as the incentive units only have value upon a liquidating event occurring; therefore, no related compensation expense has been recorded as of December 31, 2012. Prior to April 2012, each incentive unit had a unit grant value of $1.36 per unit as defined in the grant agreement. In April 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company determined that any incentive units issued prior to November 17, 2011 should have a unit grant value of $0.21 per unit. The Board of Directors of the Company determined that the units issued on or after November 17, 2011 until December 31, 2012 would have a unit grant value of $1.04 per unit. As the incentive units have no value as mentioned previously, this change in unit grant value had no effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

The following table presents the activity for incentive units outstanding:

 

   Profit Units 
     
Outstanding - December 31, 2011   409,500 
Granted   109,655 
Forfeited/canceled   (25,901)
Exercised   - 
      
Outstanding - December 31, 2012   493,254 

 

Note 6 - Related Party Transactions

 

As of December 31, 2012, the Company has three notes receivable totaling $66,630 from members, which are not due and payable until a liquidating event occurs. As such, the balance of the notes receivable is included in the statement of members' equity (deficit) at December 31, 2012.

 

Note 7 - Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the auditors' report date, which is the date the financial statements were available for issuance.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Note 1 - Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Phil's Fresh Foods, LLC d/b/a EVOL Foods (the "Company") is a Delaware limited liability company. The Company was formed in 2009 with the goal to provide high quality frozen foods made from fresh, all natural, and organic ingredients. Products offered include burritos, entrée bowls, flatbreads, and pizzas. The Company manufactures the entirety of its sellable product in their manufacturing facility located in Boulder, Colorado. The Company sells its products to retailers in all 50 states either directly or through national distributors.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company continually monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests. As of the balance sheet date, and periodically throughout the year, the Company has maintained balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits. There were no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2013 or 2012.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

At the time the accounts are originated, the Company considers a reserve for doubtful accounts based on the creditworthiness of the customer. The allowance for doubtful accounts is continually reviewed and adjusted to maintain the allowance at a level considered adequate to cover future losses. The allowance is management's best estimate of uncollectible amounts and is determined based on historical performance, which is tracked by the Company on an ongoing basis. The losses ultimately incurred could differ materially in the near term from the amounts estimated in determining the allowance. As of September 30, 2013, the Company determined that it was not necessary to have an allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company grants credit in the normal course of business to customers in the United States. The Company periodically performs credit analysis and monitors the financial condition of its customers to reduce credit risk. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers, but generally does not require collateral to support accounts receivable.

 

As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, five customers accounted for 80% of accounts receivable and four customers accounted for 56% of total revenues. As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, two customers accounted for 60% of total revenues.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory primarily consists of raw materials and finished goods and is stated at the lower of cost or market, determined using the weighted average cost method. The Company regularly monitors inventory quantities on hand and records write-downs for excess or obsolete inventories on an item-by-item basis.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

Note 1 - Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives for owned assets, ranging from one to ten years.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered. The Company looks primarily to the undiscounted future cash flows in its assessment of whether or not long-lived assets have been impaired. As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, management determined no impairment existed on long-lived assets.

 

Income Taxes

 

As a limited liability company, the Company does not pay federal or state income taxes. Accordingly, taxable income or losses are included in the income tax returns of the Company's members, and no provision for federal or state income taxes has been recorded on the accompanying financial statements.

 

The Company follows guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. If taxing authorities were to disallow any tax positions taken by the Company, additional income taxes, if any, would be imposed on the members rather than the Company.

 

Interest and penalties associated with tax positions are recorded in the period assessed as general and administrative expenses. No interest or penalties have been assessed for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The Company's income tax returns for tax years subject to examination by taxing authorities included 2008 and 2009 through the current year for state and federal tax purposes, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes sales when merchandise has been shipped to the customer, no significant continuing obligations exist, and there is reasonable assurance regarding collectibility. Sales are recorded net of estimated incentive discounts, allowances, and slotting fees.

 

Deferred Rent Obligation

 

The Company has entered into an operating lease for its manufacturing facility, which contains provisions for future rent increases. The Company records monthly rent expense equal to the total of the payments due over the lease term, divided by the number of months of the lease term. The difference between rent expense recorded and the amount paid is credited or charged to deferred rent obligation in the accompanying balance sheet.

Advertising Costs

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $279,366 and $200,225, respectively.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures 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.

The note is not collateralized and contains certain non-financial related covenants. If the Company has not paid the balance of the loan in full after the first anniversary of the loan consummation date, and in the event that the Company consummates an equity financing after that one-year period, the unpaid principal including accrued and unpaid interest balance will, at the option of the loan holder, convert into equity at a 10% discount to the price per unit paid by the other investors in the equity financing. As of September 30, 2013, $300,000 was outstanding on the related party note payable.

Note 6 - Members' Equity

 

Membership Interest

 

The ownership of the Company is represented by units. As of September 30, 2013, there are four classes of units: preferred A units and preferred B units (collectively, "Preferred Units"), common units, and incentive units (collectively, the "Units"). A maximum of 4,422,822 preferred A units may be issued by the Company, a maximum of 1,339,765 preferred B units may be issued by the Company, a maximum of 800,000 incentive units may be issued by the Company, and a maximum of 1,474,275 common units may be issued by the Company.

 

In 2012, 1,339,765 preferred B units were issued by the Company at $3.17 per share for $4,132,975 in cash proceeds, which is net of legal fees of $117,025.

 

Conversion Rights

 

The holders of the Preferred Units are entitled to convert their shares into common stock at the option of the holder, at any time, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock. The number of shares of common stock to which a holder of the Preferred Units can convert is obtained by multiplying the conversion rate that is in effect by the number of shares of Preferred Units being converted. The conversion rate is determined by dividing the original issue price by the applicable conversion price. Provisions exist for adjustment to the Preferred Units conversion price upon the sale of additional shares of common stock at a price dilutive to the Preferred unit holders.

Membership Interest (continued)

 

Redemption Feature

 

Upon a bankruptcy event as defined in the operating agreement, or, after December 31, 2016, upon a supermajority vote (75% or more), the preferred A or B unitholders may request redemption of the Preferred Units at the original issue price plus all unpaid preferred returns. At the time the unitholders request redemption, the Board of Directors, excluding the Preferred A and B members, have 30 days to discuss whether the redemption notice should be satisfied through a liquidating event or through payment from the Company of all shareholders from funds legally available to the Company. In the event of payment by the Company, half of the units will be redeemed 30 days after the redemption date and half on the first anniversary of the redemption date.

 

Preferred Return

 

The preferred unitholders are entitled to receive a cumulative 8% annual return on all outstanding preferred units. The return is payable only when and if declared by the Board of Directors.

 

Liquidation

 

Upon liquidation of the Company, as defined by the operating agreement, the assets of the Company will be distributed in the following priority; (i) to the preferred unitholders for any unpaid preferred returns; (ii) to the preferred unitholders until their remaining capital accounts are paid in full; and (iii) to all holders of Units outstanding.

 

Preemptive Rights

 

If the Company desires to sell additional Preferred Units (with certain exceptions), the existing preferred unitholders have the right to purchase additional Preferred Units in proportion to their ownership interests before additional Preferred Units are offered to third parties.

Note 6 - Members' Equity (continued)

 

Incentive Unit Plan

 

In March 2009, the Company created a new class of units designated as non-voting incentive units. The incentive units are issuable to members of the Company in exchange for services performed or to be performed and will vest over a period defined in each individual's grant agreement. At September 30, 2013, 720,829 incentive units were outstanding and 370,786 were vested. It was determined by the Company that there was no value to the incentive units granted, as the incentive units only have value upon a liquidating event occurring. As a liquidating event was not probable, no related compensation expense has been recorded as of September 30, 2013. Prior to April 2012, each incentive unit had a unit grant value of $1.36 per unit as defined in the grant agreement. In April 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company determined that any incentive units issued prior to November 17, 2011 should have a unit grant value of $0.21 per unit. The Board of Directors of the Company determined that the units issued on or after November 17, 2011 until December 31, 2012 would have a unit grant value of $1.04 per unit. The Board of Directors of the Company determined that the units issued on or after December 31, 2012 until September 30, 2013 would have a unit grant value of $1.96 per unit. As the incentive units have no value, as mentioned previously, this change in unit grant value had no effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

The following table presents the activity for incentive units outstanding:

 

   Profit Units 
     
Outstanding - December 31, 2011   409,500 
Granted   102,155

Note 7 - Related Party Transactions

 

As of September 30, 2013, the Company has three notes receivable totaling $78,633 from members, which are not due and payable until a liquidating event occurs. As such, the balance of the notes receivable is included in the statement of changes in members' equity (deficit) at September 30, 2013 and 2012.
