Risks Associated with Our Business, the offering and our Common Stock.

 

Our business is subject to numerous risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. You should carefully consider these risks before making an investment. Some of these risks include:

 

An occurrence of an uncontrollable event such as the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively affect our operations and our ability to raise capital.
If we are unable to continue as a going concern, our securities will have little or no value.
We will need significant additional capital, which we may be unable to obtain.
We have experienced recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities and anticipate that we will continue to incur significant operating losses in the future.
If we are not able to successfully execute on our future operating plans, our financial condition and results of operation may be materially adversely affected, and we may not be able to continue as a going concern.
Demand for our products may be adversely affected by changes in consumer preferences or any inability on our part to innovate, market or distribute our products effectively, and any significant reduction in demand could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Volatility in the price or availability of the inputs we depend on, including raw materials, packaging, energy and labor, could adversely impact our financial results.
Changes in government regulation or failure to comply with existing regulations could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We compete in an industry that is brand-conscious, so brand name recognition and acceptance of our products are critical to our success.
Our brands and brand images are keys to our business and any inability to maintain a positive brand image could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Competition from traditional and large, well-financed non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverage manufacturers may adversely affect our distribution relationships and may hinder development of our existing markets, as well as prevent us from expanding our markets.
We compete in an industry characterized by rapid changes in consumer preferences and public perception, so our ability to continue developing new products to satisfy our consumers’ changing preferences will determine our long-term success.
Legislative or regulatory changes that affect our products, including new taxes, could reduce demand for products or increase our costs.
Our reliance on distributors, retailers and brokers could affect our ability to efficiently and profitably distribute and market our products, maintain our existing markets and expand our business into other geographic markets.
It is difficult to predict the timing and amount of our sales because our distributors are not required to place minimum orders with us.
If we do not adequately manage our inventory levels, our operating results could be adversely affected.
If we fail to maintain relationships with our independent contract manufacturers, our business could be harmed.
Increases in costs or shortages of raw materials could harm our business and financial results.
The volatility of energy and increased regulations may have an adverse impact on our gross margin.

 

2

 

 

Disruption within our supply chain, contract manufacturing or distribution channels could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We rely upon our ongoing relationships with our key flavor suppliers. If we are unable to source our flavors on acceptable terms from our key suppliers, we could suffer disruptions in our business.
If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel, our efficiency and operations would be adversely affected; in addition, management turnover causes uncertainties and could harm our business.
If we lose the services of our Chief Executive Officer, our operations could be disrupted and our business could be harmed.
If we fail to protect our trademarks and trade secrets, we may be unable to successfully market our products and compete effectively.
If we encounter product recalls or other product quality issues, our business may suffer.
Our business is subject to many regulations and noncompliance is costly.
Litigation or legal proceedings could expose us to significant liabilities and damage our reputation.
We are subject to risks inherent in sales of products in international markets.
Climate change may negatively affect our business.
Our business and operations would be adversely impacted in the event of a failure or interruption of our information technology infrastructure or as a result of a cybersecurity attack.
Our results of operations may fluctuate from quarter to quarter for many reasons, including seasonality.
Changes in our effective tax rate may impact our results of operations.
Changes in accounting standards and subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by management related to complex accounting matters could significantly affect our financial results.
If we are unable to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, our stock price and investor confidence could be materially and adversely affected.
We are dependent on a distiller in Mexico, to provide us with our finished SALT tequila product. Failure to obtain satisfactory performance from them or a loss of their services could cause us to lose sales, incur additional costs, and lose credibility in the marketplace.
Regulatory decisions and changes in the legal, regulatory and tax environment where our tequila is produced and where we operate could limit our business activities or increase our operating costs and reduce our margins.
We face substantial competition in the alcoholic beverage industry and we may not be able to effectively compete.
Our business operations may be adversely affected by social, political and economic conditions affecting market risks and the demand for and pricing of our tequila products.
Uncertainty in the financial markets and other adverse changes in general economic or political conditions in any of the major countries in which we do business could adversely affect our industry, business and results of operations.
Our limited operating history makes it difficult to forecast our future results, making any investment in us highly speculative.
An investment in the Securities is speculative and there can be no assurance of any return on any such investment.
The offering price and other terms of the Securities has been determined by the Company and may not be indicative of the Company’s actual value or the value of the Shares.
Future sales of common stock, or the perception of such future sales, by some of our existing stockholders could cause our stock price to decline.
Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute then-existing shareholders’ percentage ownership of the Company.

 

3

 

 

There is currently a limited liquid trading market for the Company’s Common Stock.
Our Board of Directors may issue and fix the terms of shares of our Preferred Stock without stockholder approval, which could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our Common Stock or any change in control of our Company.
Because certain principal stockholders own a large percentage of our voting stock, other stockholders’ voting power may be limited.
We do not expect to pay dividends and investors should not buy our Common Stock expecting to receive dividends.
Our common stock may be considered a “penny stock”, and thereby be subject to additional sale and trading regulations that may make it more difficult to sell.
We will have broad discretion on how we use the proceeds we receive in this Offering.
The "best efforts" nature of the offering means that the Company may not be able to raise the funds it expects to raise which would have material adverse impact on the Company’s prospects.
If the Company only raises the minimum amount its ability to raise funds in the future may be materially adversely affected and an investor’s investment may be lost.
Our common stock could be further diluted as the result of the issuance of additional Common Shares, convertible securities, warrants or options.
Common Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market.
If we are not able to achieve our objectives for our business, the value of an investment in our company could be negatively affected.
Any future equity or debt issuances by us may have dilutive or adverse effects on our existing shareholders.
You should consult your independent tax advisor regarding any tax matters arising with respect to the Securities.
If the Company only raises the Minimum Offering Amount, we may not have sufficient capital to execute our business strategy.
Investor funds will not accrue interest while in escrow prior to closing.
You will experience immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering and may experience additional dilution in the future.
The purchase warrants are speculative in nature.
There is no public market for the warrants being offered in this offering.

RISK FACTORS

 

You should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in the section of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.” If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, the value of the Company’s Common Stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

 

An occurrence of an uncontrollable event such as the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively affect our operations and our ability to raise capital.

 

The occurrence of an uncontrollable event such as the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively affect our operations. A pandemic typically results in social distancing, travel bans and quarantine, and this may limit access to our facilities, customers, management, support staff and professional advisors. This event may also limit our ability to raise capital which as noted above could trigger certain rescission rights which could result in the Company’s incurring additional debt and preferred holders who may take preference over other common holders. These factors, in turn, may not only impact our operations, financial condition and demand for our products but our overall ability to react timely to mitigate the impact of this event. Also, it may hamper our efforts to comply with our filing obligations with the Commission.

 

If we are unable to continue as a going concern, our securities will have little or no value.

 

Although our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 were prepared under the assumption that we would continue our 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 our ability to continue as a going concern, based on the financial statements at that time. Specifically, we have experienced recurring losses and we have had a working capital and stockholders’ equity deficits. These prior losses and expected future losses have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on our financial condition. In addition, continued operations and our ability to continue as a going concern may be dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing in the near future and thereafter, and there are no assurances that such financing will be available to us at all or will be available in sufficient amounts or on reasonable terms. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we are unable to generate additional funds in the future through sales of our products, financings or from other sources or transactions, we will exhaust our resources and will be unable to continue operations. If we cannot continue as a going concern, our shareholders would likely lose most or all of their investment in us.

 

We will need significant additional capital, which we may be unable to obtain.

 

Our current liquidity position raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to raise additional capital and/or obtain financing sufficient to meet current and future obligations, we may not be able to continue as a going concern. Additionally, if the Company shall fail to raise $9,000,000 of additional capital no later than six months from the date of the Merger, then the preferred stock and debt holders may seek to rescind the Promissory Note Conversion Agreement, return the Note Conversion Shares and receive a replacement promissory note from the Company and the parties to the Preferred Stock Note Conversion Agreements may seek to rescind the Preferred Stock Conversion Agreement, return the Preferred Stock Conversion Shares and receive replacement shares of preferred stock from the Company. There can be no assurance that such funding will be available to the Company in the amount required at any time or, if available, that it can be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Company. 

 

We have experienced recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities and anticipate that we will continue to incur significant operating losses in the future.

 

We have experienced recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities.  We expect to continue to incur significant expenses related to our ongoing operations and generate operating losses for the foreseeable future. The size of our losses will depend, in part, on the rate of future expenditures and our ability to generate revenues.  We incurred a net loss of $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. Our accumulated deficit increased to $35.6 million as of December 31, 2019 compared to the prior year’s deficit of $30.5 million.

 

We may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays, and other unknown factors that may adversely affect our financial condition. Our prior losses and expected future losses have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on our financial condition. If our products do not achieve sufficient market acceptance and our revenues do not increase significantly, we may never become profitable. Even if we achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods. Our failure to become and remain profitable would decrease the value of our company and could impair our ability to raise capital, expand our business, diversify our product offerings or continue our operations. A decline in the value of our company could cause you to lose all or part of your investment.

 

6

 

 

If we are not able to successfully execute on our future operating plans, our financial condition and results of operation may be materially adversely affected, and we may not be able to continue as a going concern.

 

It is important that we meet our sales goals and increase sales going forward as our operating plan already reflects prior significant cost containment measures and may make it difficult to achieve top-line growth if further significant reductions become necessary. If we do not meet our sales goals, our available cash and working capital will decrease and our financial condition will be negatively impacted. 

 

Demand for our products may be adversely affected by changes in consumer preferences or any inability on our part to innovate, market or distribute our products effectively, and any significant reduction in demand could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations..

 

Our beverage portfolio is comprised of a number of unique brands with reputations and consumer imagery that have been built over time. Our investments in marketing as well as our strong commitment to product quality are intended to have a favorable impact on brand image and consumer preferences. Unfavorable publicity, or allegations of quality issues, even if false or unfounded, could tarnish our reputation and brand image and may cause consumers to choose other products. In addition, if we do not adequately anticipate and react to changing demographics, consumer and economic trends, health concerns and product preferences, our financial results could be adversely affected.

 

Volatility in the price or availability of the inputs we depend on, including raw materials, packaging, energy and labor, could adversely impact our financial results.

 

Our financial results could be adversely impacted by changes in the cost or availability of raw materials and packaging. Continued growth would require us to hire, retain and develop a highly skilled workforce and talented management team. Any unplanned turnover or our failure to develop an adequate succession plan for current positions could erode our competitiveness. In addition, our financial results could be adversely affected by increased costs due to increased competition for employees, higher employee turnover or increased employee benefit costs.

 

Changes in government regulation or failure to comply with existing regulations could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our business and properties are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations, including those governing the production, packaging, quality, labeling and distribution of beverage products. In addition, various governmental agencies have enacted or are considering additional taxes on soft drinks and other sweetened beverages. Changes in existing laws or regulations could require material expenses and negatively affect our financial results through lower sales or higher costs.

 

We compete in an industry that is brand-conscious, so brand name recognition and acceptance of our products are critical to our success.

 

Our business is dependent upon awareness and market acceptance of our products and brands by our target market, trendy, young consumers looking for a distinctive tonality in their beverage choices. In addition, our business depends on acceptance by our independent distributors and retailers of our brands as beverage brands that have the potential to provide incremental sales growth. If we are not successful in the revitalization and growth of our brand and product offerings, we may not achieve and maintain satisfactory levels of acceptance by independent distributors and retail consumers. In addition, we may not be able to effectively execute our marketing strategies in light of the various closures and event cancellations caused by the COVID-19 outbreak. Any failure of our brand to maintain or increase acceptance or market penetration would likely have a material adverse effect on our revenues and financial results.

Our brands and brand images are keys to our business and any inability to maintain a positive brand image could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

Our success depends on our ability to maintain brand image for our existing products and effectively build up brand image for new products and brand extensions. We cannot predict whether our advertising, marketing and promotional programs will have the desired impact on our products’ branding and on consumer preferences. In addition, negative public relations and product quality issues, whether real or imagined, could tarnish our reputation and image of the affected brands and could cause consumers to choose other products. Our brand image can also be adversely affected by unfavorable reports, studies and articles, litigation, or regulatory or other governmental action, whether involving our products or those of our competitors.

 

Competition from traditional and large, well-financed non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverage manufacturers may adversely affect our distribution relationships and may hinder development of our existing markets, as well as prevent us from expanding our markets.

 

The beverage industry is highly competitive. We compete with other beverage companies not only for consumer acceptance but also for shelf space in retail outlets and for marketing focus by our distributors, all of whom also distribute other beverage brands. Our products compete with all non-alcoholic beverages and alcoholic, most of which are marketed by companies with substantially greater financial resources than ours. Some of these competitors are placing severe pressure on independent distributors not to carry competitive brands such as ours. We also compete with regional beverage producers and “private label” hydration suppliers.

 

Increased competitor consolidations, market-place competition, particularly among branded beverage products, and competitive product and pricing pressures could impact our earnings, market share and volume growth. If, due to such pressure or other competitive threats, we are unable to sufficiently maintain or develop our distribution channels, we may be unable to achieve our current revenue and financial targets. Competition, particularly from companies with greater financial and marketing resources than ours, could have a material adverse effect on our existing markets, as well as on our ability to expand the market for our products.

 

We compete in an industry characterized by rapid changes in consumer preferences and public perception, so our ability to continue developing new products to satisfy our consumers’ changing preferences will determine our long-term success.

 

Failure to introduce new brands, products or product extensions into the marketplace as current ones mature and to meet our consumers’ changing preferences could prevent us from gaining market share and achieving long-term profitability. Product lifecycles can vary and consumers’ preferences and loyalties change over time. Although we try to anticipate these shifts and innovate new products to introduce to our consumers, we may not succeed. Customer preferences also are affected by factors other than taste, such as health and nutrition considerations and obesity concerns, shifting consumer needs, changes in consumer lifestyles, increased consumer information and competitive product and pricing pressures. Sales of our products may be adversely affected by the negative publicity associated with these issues. In addition, there may be a decreased demand for our product as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. If we do not adequately anticipate or adjust to respond to these and other changes in customer preferences, we may not be able to maintain and grow our brand image and our sales may be adversely affected.

 

Legislative or regulatory changes that affect our products, including new taxes, could reduce demand for products or increase our costs.

 

Taxes imposed on the sale of certain of our products by federal, state and local governments in the United States, or other countries in which we operate could cause consumers to shift away from purchasing our beverages. Several municipalities in the United States have implemented or are considering implementing taxes on the sale of certain “sugared” beverages, including non-diet soft drinks, fruit drinks, teas and flavored waters to help fund various initiatives. These taxes could materially affect our business and financial results.

Our reliance on distributors, retailers and brokers could affect our ability to efficiently and profitably distribute and market our products, maintain our existing markets and expand our business into other geographic markets.

 

Our ability to maintain and expand our existing markets for our products, and to establish markets in new geographic distribution areas, is dependent on our ability to establish and maintain successful relationships with reliable distributors, retailers and brokers strategically positioned to serve those areas. Most of our distributors, retailers and brokers sell and distribute competing products, including non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, and our products may represent a small portion of their businesses. The success of this network will depend on the performance of the distributors, retailers and brokers of this network. There is a risk that the mentioned entities may not adequately perform their functions within the network by, without limitation, failing to distribute to sufficient retailers or positioning our products in localities that may not be receptive to our product. Our ability to incentivize and motivate distributors to manage and sell our products is affected by competition from other beverage companies who have greater resources than we do. To the extent that our distributors, retailers and brokers are distracted from selling our products or do not employ sufficient efforts in managing and selling our products, including re-stocking the retail shelves with our products, our sales and results of operations could be adversely affected. Furthermore, such third-parties’ financial position or market share may deteriorate, which could adversely affect our distribution, marketing and sales activities.

 

Our ability to maintain and expand our distribution network and attract additional distributors, retailers and brokers will depend on a number of factors, some of which are outside our control. Some of these factors include:

 

  the level of demand for our brands and products in a particular distribution area;
  our ability to price our products at levels competitive with those of competing products; and
  our ability to deliver products in the quantity and at the time ordered by distributors, retailers and brokers.

 

We may not be able to successfully manage all or any of these factors in any of our current or prospective geographic areas of distribution. Our inability to achieve success with regards to any of these factors in a geographic distribution area will have a material adverse effect on our relationships in that particular geographic area, thus limiting our ability to maintain or expand our market, which will likely adversely affect our revenues and financial results.

 

It is difficult to predict the timing and amount of our sales because our distributors are not required to place minimum orders with us.

 

Our independent distributors and national accounts are not required to place minimum monthly or annual orders for our products. In order to reduce their inventory costs, independent distributors typically order products from us on a “just in time” basis in quantities and at such times based on the demand for the products in a particular distribution area. Accordingly, we cannot predict the timing or quantity of purchases by any of our independent distributors or whether any of our distributors will continue to purchase products from us in the same frequencies and volumes as they may have done in the past. Additionally, our larger distributors and national partners may make orders that are larger than we have historically been required to fill.  Shortages in inventory levels, supply of raw materials or other key supplies could negatively affect us.

If we do not adequately manage our inventory levels, our operating results could be adversely affected.

 

We need to maintain adequate inventory levels to be able to deliver products to distributors on a timely basis. Our inventory supply depends on our ability to correctly estimate demand for our products. Our ability to estimate demand for our products is imprecise, particularly for new products, seasonal promotions and new markets. If we materially underestimate demand for our products or are unable to maintain sufficient inventory of raw materials, we might not be able to satisfy demand on a short-term basis. If we overestimate distributor or retailer demand for our products, we may end up with too much inventory, resulting in higher storage costs, increased trade spend and the risk of inventory spoilage. If we fail to manage our inventory to meet demand, we could damage our relationships with our distributors and retailers and could delay or lose sales opportunities, which would unfavorably impact our future sales and adversely affect our operating results. In addition, if the inventory of our products held by our distributors and retailers is too high, they will not place orders for additional products, which would also unfavorably impact our sales and adversely affect our operating results.

 

If we fail to maintain relationships with our independent contract manufacturers, our business could be harmed.

 

We do not manufacture our products but instead outsource the manufacturing process to third-party bottlers and independent contract manufacturers (co-packers). We do not own the plants or the majority of the equipment required to manufacture and package our beverage products, and we do not anticipate bringing the manufacturing process in-house in the future. Our ability to maintain effective relationships with contract manufacturers and other third parties for the production and delivery of our beverage products in a particular geographic distribution area is important to the success of our operations within each distribution area. We may not be able to maintain our relationships with current contract manufacturers or establish satisfactory relationships with new or replacement contract manufacturers, whether in existing or new geographic distribution areas. The failure to establish and maintain effective relationships with contract manufacturers for a distribution area could increase our manufacturing costs and thereby materially reduce gross profits from the sale of our products in that area. Poor relations with any of our contract manufacturers could adversely affect the amount and timing of product delivered to our distributors for resale, which would in turn adversely affect our revenues and financial condition. In addition, our agreements with our contract manufacturers are terminable at any time, and any such termination could disrupt our ability to deliver products to our customers.

 

Increases in costs or shortages of raw materials could harm our business and financial results.

 

The principal raw materials we use include glass bottles, aluminum cans, labels and cardboard cartons, aluminum closures, flavorings, sucrose/inverted pure cane sugar and sucralose. In addition, certain of our contract manufacturing arrangements allow such contract manufacturers to increase their charges to us based on their own cost increases. These manufacturing and ingredient costs are subject to fluctuation. Substantial increases in the prices of our ingredients, raw materials and packaging materials, to the extent that they cannot be recouped through increases in the prices of finished beverage products, would increase our operating costs and could reduce our profitability. If our supply of these raw materials is impaired or if prices increase significantly, it could affect the affordability of our products and reduce sales.

 

If we are unable to secure sufficient ingredients or raw materials including glass, sugar, and other key supplies, we might not be able to satisfy demand on a short-term basis. Moreover, in the past there have been industry-wide shortages of certain concentrates, supplements and sweeteners and these shortages could occur again from time to time in the future, which could interfere with and delay production of our products and could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

 

10

 

 

In addition, suppliers could fail to provide ingredients or raw materials on a timely basis, or fail to meet our performance expectations, for a number of reasons, including, for example, disruption to the global supply chain as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, which could cause a serious disruption to our business, increase our costs, decrease our operating efficiencies and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

The volatility of energy and increased regulations may have an adverse impact on our gross margin.

 

Over the past few years, volatility in the global oil markets has resulted in variable fuel prices, which many shipping companies have passed on to their customers by way of higher base pricing and increased fuel surcharges.  If fuel prices increase, we expect to experience higher shipping rates and fuel surcharges, as well as energy surcharges on our raw materials.  It is hard to predict what will happen in the fuel markets in 2020 and beyond. Due to the price sensitivity of our products, we may not be able to pass such increases on to our customers.

 

Disruption within our supply chain, contract manufacturing or distribution channels could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our ability, through our suppliers, business partners, contract manufacturers, independent distributors and retailers, to make, move and sell products is critical to our success. Damage or disruption to our suppliers or to manufacturing or distribution capabilities due to weather, natural disaster, fire or explosion, terrorism, pandemics such as influenza and the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), labor strikes or other reasons, could impair the manufacture, distribution and sale of our products. Many of these events are outside of our control. Failure to take adequate steps to protect against or mitigate the likelihood or potential impact of such events, or to effectively manage such events if they occur, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We rely upon our ongoing relationships with our key flavor suppliers. If we are unable to source our flavors on acceptable terms from our key suppliers, we could suffer disruptions in our business.

 

We currently purchase our flavor concentrate from various flavor concentrate suppliers, and continually develop other sources of flavor concentrate for each of our products. Generally, flavor suppliers hold the proprietary rights to their flavor specific ingredients. Although we have the exclusive rights to flavor concentrates developed with our current flavor concentrate suppliers, while we have the rights to the ingredients for our products, we do not have the list of ingredients for our flavor extracts and concentrates. Consequently, we may be unable to obtain these exact flavors or concentrates from alternative suppliers on short notice. If we have to replace a flavor supplier, we could experience disruptions in our ability to deliver products to our customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel, our efficiency and operations would be adversely affected; in addition, management turnover causes uncertainties and could harm our business.

 

Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain highly qualified employees in such areas as finance, sales, marketing and product development. We compete to hire new employees, and, in some cases, must train them and develop their skills and competencies. We may not be able to provide our employees with competitive salaries, and our operating results could be adversely affected by increased costs due to increased competition for employees, higher employee turnover or increased employee benefit costs.

 

Recently, we have experienced significant changes in our key personnel, especially on our finance team, and more could occur in the future. Changes to operations, policies and procedures, which can often occur with the appointment of new personnel, can create uncertainty, may negatively impact our ability to execute quickly and effectively, and may ultimately be unsuccessful. In addition, management transition periods are often difficult as the new employees gain detailed knowledge of our operations, and friction can result from changes in strategy and management style. Management turnover inherently causes some loss of institutional knowledge, which can negatively affect strategy and execution. Until we integrate new personnel, and unless they are able to succeed in their positions, we may be unable to successfully manage and grow our business, and our financial condition and profitability may suffer. 

 

11

 

 

Further, to the extent we experience additional management turnover, our operations, financial condition and employee morale could be negatively impacted.  In addition, competition for top management is high and it may take months to find a candidate that meets our requirements. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified management personnel, our business could suffer. Moreover, our operations could be negatively affected if employees are quarantined as the result of exposure to a contagious illness such as COVID-19.

 

If we lose the services of our Chief Executive Officer, our operations could be disrupted and our business could be harmed.

 

Our business plan relies significantly on the continued services of Robert Nistico, our Chief Executive Officer. If we were to lose the services of Mr. Nistico, our ability to execute our business plan could be materially impaired. We are not aware of any facts or circumstances that suggest he might leave us.

 

If we fail to protect our trademarks and trade secrets, we may be unable to successfully market our products and compete effectively.

 

We rely on a combination of trademark and trade secrecy laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property rights. Failure to protect our intellectual property could harm our brand and our reputation, and adversely affect our ability to compete effectively. Further, enforcing or defending our intellectual property rights, including our trademarks, copyrights, licenses and trade secrets, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. We regard our intellectual property, particularly our trademarks and trade secrets to be of considerable value and importance to our business and our success, and we actively pursue the registration of our trademarks in the United States and internationally. However, the steps taken by us to protect these proprietary rights may not be adequate and may not prevent third parties from infringing or misappropriating our trademarks, trade secrets or similar proprietary rights. In addition, other parties may seek to assert infringement claims against us, and we may have to pursue litigation against other parties to assert our rights. Any such claim or litigation could be costly. In addition, any event that would jeopardize our proprietary rights or any claims of infringement by third parties could have a material adverse effect on our ability to market or sell our brands, profitably exploit our products or recoup our associated research and development costs.

 

As part of the licensing strategy of our brands, we enter into licensing agreements under which we grant our licensing partners certain rights to use our trademarks and other designs. Although our agreements require that the use of our trademarks and designs is subject to our control and approval, any breach of these provisions, or any other action by any of our licensing partners that is harmful to our brands, goodwill and overall image, could have a material adverse impact on our business.

 

If we encounter product recalls or other product quality issues, our business may suffer.

 

Product quality issues, real or imagined, or allegations of product contamination, even when false or unfounded, could tarnish our image and could cause consumers to choose other products. In addition, because of changing government regulations or implementation thereof, or allegations of product contamination, we may be required from time to time to recall products entirely or from specific markets. Product recalls could affect our profitability and could negatively affect brand image.

 

12

 

 

Our business is subject to many regulations and noncompliance is costly.

 

The production, marketing and sale of our beverages, including contents, labels, caps and containers, are subject to the rules and regulations of various federal, provincial, state and local health agencies. If a regulatory authority finds that a current or future product or production batch or “run” is not in compliance with any of these regulations, we may be fined, or production may be stopped, which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Similarly, any adverse publicity associated with any noncompliance may damage our reputation and our ability to successfully market our products. Furthermore, the rules and regulations are subject to change from time to time and while we closely monitor developments in this area, we cannot anticipate whether changes in these rules and regulations will impact our business adversely. Additional or revised regulatory requirements, whether labeling, environmental, tax or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Litigation or legal proceedings could expose us to significant liabilities and damage our reputation.

 

We may become party to litigation claims and legal proceedings. Litigation involves significant risks, uncertainties and costs, including distraction of management attention away from our business operations. We evaluate litigation claims and legal proceedings to assess the likelihood of unfavorable outcomes and to estimate, if possible, the amount of potential losses. Based on these assessments and estimates, we establish reserves and disclose the relevant litigation claims or legal proceedings, as appropriate. These assessments and estimates are based on the information available to management at the time and involve a significant amount of management judgment. Actual outcomes or losses may differ materially from those envisioned by our current assessments and estimates. Our policies and procedures require strict compliance by our employees and agents with all U.S. and local laws and regulations applicable to our business operations, including those prohibiting improper payments to government officials. Nonetheless, our policies and procedures may not ensure full compliance by our employees and agents with all applicable legal requirements. Improper conduct by our employees or agents could damage our reputation or lead to litigation or legal proceedings that could result in civil or criminal penalties, including substantial monetary fines, as well as disgorgement of profits.

 

We are subject to risks inherent in sales of products in international markets.

 

Our operations outside of the United States, contribute to our revenue and profitability, and we believe that developing and emerging markets could present future growth opportunities for us.  However, there can be no assurance that existing or new products that we manufacture, distribute or sell will be accepted or be successful in any particular foreign market, due to local or global competition, product price, cultural differences, consumer preferences or otherwise.  There are many factors that could adversely affect demand for our products in foreign markets, including our inability to attract and maintain key distributors in these markets; volatility in the economic growth of certain of these markets; changes in economic, political or social conditions, the status and renegotiations of the North American Free Trade Agreement, imposition of new or increased labeling, product or production requirements, or other legal restrictions; restrictions on the import or export of our products or ingredients or substances used in our products; inflationary currency, devaluation or fluctuation; increased costs of doing business due to compliance with complex foreign and U.S. laws and regulations. If we are unable to effectively operate or manage the risks associated with operating in international markets, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

Climate change may negatively affect our business.

 

There is growing concern that a gradual increase in global average temperatures may cause an adverse change in weather patterns around the globe resulting in an increase in the frequency and severity of natural disasters. While warmer weather has historically been associated with increased sales of our products similar to ours, changing weather patterns could have a negative impact on agricultural productivity, which may limit availability or increase the cost of certain key ingredients. Also, increased frequency or duration of extreme weather conditions may disrupt the productivity of our facilities, the operation of our supply chain or impact demand for our products. In addition, the increasing concern over climate change may result in more regional, federal and global legal and regulatory requirements and could result in increased production, transportation and raw material costs. As a result, the effects of climate change could have a long-term adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

 

13

 

 

Our business and operations would be adversely impacted in the event of a failure or interruption of our information technology infrastructure or as a result of a cybersecurity attack.

 

The proper functioning of our own information technology (IT) infrastructure is critical to the efficient operation and management of our business. We may not have the necessary financial resources to update and maintain our IT infrastructure, and any failure or interruption of our IT system could adversely impact our operations. In addition, our IT is vulnerable to cyberattacks, computer viruses, worms and other malicious software programs, physical and electronic break-ins, sabotage and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering with our computer systems. We believe that we have adopted appropriate measures to mitigate potential risks to our technology infrastructure and our operations from these IT-related and other potential disruptions. However, given the unpredictability of the timing, nature and scope of any such IT failures or disruptions, we could potentially be subject to downtimes, transactional errors, processing inefficiencies, operational delays, other detrimental impacts on our operations or ability to provide products to our customers, the compromising of confidential or personal information, destruction or corruption of data, security breaches, other manipulation or improper use of our systems and networks, financial losses from remedial actions, loss of business or potential liability, and/or damage to our reputation, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, competitive position, financial condition or results of operations.

 

Our results of operations may fluctuate from quarter to quarter for many reasons, including seasonality.

 

Our sales are seasonal and we experience fluctuations in quarterly results as a result of many factors. companies similar to ours have historically generated a greater percentage of our revenues during the warm weather months of April through September. Timing of customer purchases will vary each year and sales can be expected to shift from one quarter to another. As a result, management believes that period-to-period comparisons of results of operations are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as any indication of future performance or results expected for the fiscal year. 

 

Changes in accounting standards and subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by management related to complex accounting matters could significantly affect our financial results.

 

The United States generally accepted accounting principles and related pronouncements, implementation guidelines and interpretations with regard to a wide variety of matters that are relevant to our business, such as, but not limited to, stock-based compensation, trade spend and promotions, and income taxes are highly complex and involve many subjective assumptions, estimates and judgments by our management. Changes to these rules or their interpretation or changes in underlying assumptions, estimates or judgments by our management could significantly change our reported results.

 

If we are unable to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, our stock price and investor confidence could be materially and adversely affected.

 

We are required to maintain both disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting that are effective. Because of their inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting, however well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the controls will prevent or detect misstatements. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there is only the reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their goals under all potential future conditions. The failure of controls by design deficiencies or absence of adequate controls could result in a material adverse effect on our business and financial results, which could also negatively impact our stock price and investor confidence.

 

Due to the size of the Company, we have an inherent material weakness relating to Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.

We are dependent on a distiller in Mexico, to provide us with our finished SALT tequila product. Failure to obtain satisfactory performance from them or a loss of their services could cause us to lose sales, incur additional costs, and lose credibility in the marketplace.

 

We depend on a distiller in Mexico, a company in Jalisco, for the production, bottling, labeling, capping and packaging of our finished tequila product. We do not have a written agreement with our distiller in Mexico obligating it to produce our product. The termination of our relationship with our distiller in Mexico distiller or an adverse change in the terms of its services could have a negative impact on our business. If our distiller in Mexico increases its prices, we may not have alternative sources of supply at comparable prices and may not be able to raise the prices of our products to cover all, or even a portion, of the increased costs. In addition, if our distiller in Mexico fails to perform satisfactorily, fails to handle increased orders, or the loss of the services of our distiller in Mexico, along with delays in shipments of products, could cause us to fail to meet orders, lose sales, incur additional costs, and/or expose us to product quality issues. In turn, this could cause us to lose credibility in the marketplace and damage our relationships with our customers and consumers, ultimately leading to a decline in our business and results of operations.

 

Regulatory decisions and changes in the legal, regulatory and tax environment where our tequila is produced and where we operate could limit our business activities or increase our operating costs and reduce our margins.

 

Our business is subject to extensive regulation regarding production, distribution, marketing, advertising and labeling of beverage alcohol products in the U.S. and in Mexico, where our tequila is produced. We are required to comply with these regulations and maintain various permits and licenses. We are also required to conduct business only with holders of licenses to import, warehouse, transport, distribute, and sell spirits. We cannot assure you that these and other governmental regulations, applicable to our industry, will not change or become more stringent. Moreover, because these laws and regulations are subject to interpretation, we may not be able to predict when, and to what extent, liability may arise. Additionally, due to increasing public concern over alcohol-related societal problems, including driving while intoxicated, underage drinking, alcoholism and health consequences from the abuse of alcohol, various levels of government may seek to impose additional restrictions or limits on advertising or other marketing activities promoting beverage alcohol products. Failure to comply with any of the current or future regulations and requirements relating to our industry and products, could result in monetary penalties, suspension or even revocation of our licenses and permits. Costs of compliance with changes in regulations could be significant and could harm our business, as we may find it necessary to raise our prices in order to maintain profit margins, which could lower the demand for our products and reduce our sales and profit potential.

 

In addition, the distribution of beverage alcohol products is subject to extensive taxation both in the United States and internationally (and, in the United States, at both the federal and state government levels), and beverage alcohol products themselves are the subject of national import and excise duties in most countries around the world. An increase in taxation or in import or excise duties could also significantly harm our sales revenue and margins, both through the reduction of overall consumption and by encouraging consumers to switch to lower-taxed categories of beverage alcohol.

 

We face substantial competition in the alcoholic beverage industry and we may not be able to effectively compete.

 

Consolidation among spirits producers, distributors, wholesalers, or retailers could create a more challenging competitive landscape for our products. Consolidation at any level could hinder the distribution and sale of our products as a result of reduced attention and resources allocated to our brands, both during and after transition periods, because our brands might represent a smaller portion of the new business portfolio.  Expansion into new product categories by other suppliers, or innovation by new entrants into the market, could increase competition in our product categories.  Changes to our route-to-consumer models or partners in important markets could result in temporary or longer-term sales disruption, higher implementation-related or fixed costs, and could negatively affect other business relationships we might have with that partner.  Distribution network disruption or fluctuations in our product inventory levels with distributors, wholesalers, or retailers could negatively affect our results for a particular period.  

 

15

 

 

Our competitors may respond to industry and economic conditions more rapidly or effectively than we do.  Our competitors offer products that compete directly with ours for shelf space, promotional displays, and consumer purchases.  Pricing, (including price promotions, discounting, couponing, and free goods), marketing, new product introductions, entry into our distribution networks, and other competitive behavior by our competitors could adversely affect our sales margins, and profitability.  

 

Our business operations may be adversely affected by social, political and economic conditions affecting market risks and the demand for and pricing of our tequila products.  These risks include:

 

Unfavorable economic conditions and related low consumer confidence, high unemployment, weak credit or capital markets, sovereign debt defaults, sequestrations, austerity measures, higher interest rates, political instability, higher inflation, deflation, lower returns on pension assets, or lower discount rates for pension obligations;

 

Changes in laws, regulations, or policies – especially those that affect the production, importation, marketing, sale, or consumption of our beverage alcohol products;

 

Tax rate changes (including excise, sales, tariffs, duties, corporate, individual income, dividends, capital gains), or changes in related reserves, changes in tax rules or accounting standards, and the unpredictability and suddenness with which they can occur;

 

Dependence upon the continued growth of brand names;

 

Changes in consumer preferences, consumption, or purchase patterns – particularly away from tequila, and our ability to anticipate and react to them; bar, restaurant, travel, or other on premise declines;

 

Unfavorable consumer reaction to our products, package changes, product reformulations, or other product innovation;

 

Decline in the social acceptability of beverage alcohol products in our markets;

 

Production facility or supply chain disruption;

 

Imprecision in supply/demand forecasting;

 

Higher costs, lower quality, or unavailability of energy, input materials, labor, or finished goods;

 

Route-to-consumer changes that affect the timing of our sales, temporarily disrupt the marketing or sale of our products, or result in higher implementation-related or fixed costs;

 

Inventory fluctuations in our products by distributors, wholesalers, or retailers;
Competitors’ consolidation or other competitive activities, such as pricing actions (including price reductions, promotions, discounting, couponing, or free goods), marketing, category expansion, product introductions, or entry or expansion in our geographic markets;

 

Insufficient protection of our intellectual property rights;

 

Product recalls or other product liability claims; product counterfeiting, tampering, or product quality issues;

 

Significant legal disputes and proceedings; government investigations (particularly of industry or company business, trade or marketing practices);

 

Failure or breach of key information technology systems;

 

Negative publicity related to our company, brands, marketing, personnel, operations, business performance or prospects; and

 

Business disruption, decline, or costs related to organizational changes, reductions in workforce, or other cost-cutting measures, or our failure to attract or retain key executive or employee talent.

Risks Related to this Offering

 

Uncertainty in the financial markets and other adverse changes in general economic or political conditions in any of the major countries in which we do business could adversely affect our industry, business and results of operations.

 

Global economic uncertainties, including foreign currency exchange rates, affect businesses such as ours in a number of ways, making it difficult to accurately forecast and plan our future business activities. There can be no assurance that economic improvements will occur, or that they would be sustainable, or that they would enhance conditions in markets relevant to us.

 

Our limited operating history makes it difficult to forecast our future results, making any investment in us highly speculative.

 

We have a limited operating history, and our historical financial and operating information is of limited value in predicting our future operating results. We may not accurately forecast customer behavior and recognize or respond to emerging trends, changing preferences or competitive factors facing us, and, therefore, we may fail to make accurate financial forecasts. Our current and future expense levels are based largely on our investment plans and estimates of future revenue. As a result, we may be unable to adjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall, which could then force us to curtail or cease our business operations.

 

An investment in the Securities is speculative and there can be no assurance of any return on any such investment.

 

An investment in the Securities is speculative and there is no assurance that investors will obtain any return on their investment. Investors will be subject to substantial risks involved in an investment in the Company, including the risk of losing their entire investment.

 

The offering price and other terms of the Securities has been determined by the Company and may not be indicative of the Company’s actual value or the value of the Shares.

 

The offering price per shares of common stock and the terms of the Warrants have been determined by the Company and may not be indicative of the Company’s actual value or the value of such securities. Such terms bear no relationship to the assets, book value, net worth or any other recognized criteria of the Company’s value or the value of such securities.

 

17

 

 

Future sales of common stock, or the perception of such future sales, by some of our existing stockholders could cause our stock price to decline.

 

The market price of our common stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock in the market or the perception that these sales may occur. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell shares in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.

 

Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute then-existing shareholders’ percentage ownership of the Company.

 

Given our plans and expectations that we will need additional capital and personnel, we anticipate that we will need to issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance of additional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company may conduct other offerings concurrent with this offering.

 

There is currently a limited liquid trading market for the Company’s Common Stock.

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink tier under the symbol “SBEV.” Trading in stocks quoted on the OTC Pink is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may be unrelated to a company’s operations or business prospects. We cannot assure you that there will be a market in the future for our common stock.

 

OTC Pink securities are not listed or traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTC Pink securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. OTC Pink issuers are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.

Our Board of Directors may issue and fix the terms of shares of our Preferred Stock without stockholder approval, which could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our Common Stock or any change in control of our Company.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, with no par value per share, with such designation rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors is empowered, without shareholder approval, to issue shares of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our Common Stock. In the event of such issuances, the preferred stock could be used, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of our company.

 

Because certain principal stockholders own a large percentage of our voting stock, other stockholders’ voting power may be limited.

 

As of June 19, 2020 our ten (10) largest shareholders own or controlled approximately 52% of our outstanding common stock. If those stockholders act together, they would have the ability to have a substantial influence on matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election and removal of directors and the approval of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. As a result, our other stockholders may have little or no influence over matters submitted for shareholder approval. In addition, the ownership of such stockholders could preclude any unsolicited acquisition of us, and consequently, adversely affect the price of our common stock. These stockholders may make decisions that are adverse to your interests.

 

We do not expect to pay dividends and investors should not buy our Common Stock expecting to receive dividends.

 

We do not anticipate that we will declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, you will only realize an economic gain on your investment in our common stock if the price appreciates. You should not purchase our common stock expecting to receive cash dividends. Since we do not pay dividends, and if we are not successful in establishing an orderly trading market for our shares, then you may not have any manner to liquidate or receive any payment on your investment. Therefore, our failure to pay dividends may cause you to not see any return on your investment even if we are successful in our business operations. In addition, because we do not pay dividends we may have trouble raising additional funds which could affect our ability to expand our business operations.

 

Our common stock may be considered a “penny stock”, and thereby be subject to additional sale and trading regulations that may make it more difficult to sell.

 

Our common stock may be considered to be a “penny stock” if it does not qualify for one of the exemptions from the definition of “penny stock” under Section 3a51-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Our common stock may be a “penny stock” if it meets one or more of the following conditions: (i) the stock trades at a price less than $5 per share; (ii) it is not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; or (iii) is issued by a company that has been in business less than three years with net tangible assets less than $5 million.

 

19

 

 

The principal result or effect of being designated a “penny stock” is that securities broker-dealers participating in sales of our common stock will be subject to the “penny stock” regulations set forth in Rules 15g-2 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act. For example, Rule 15g-2 requires broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document at least two business days before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor’s account. Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to: (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor’s financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult and time consuming for holders of our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the market or otherwise.

 

We will have broad discretion on how we use the proceeds we receive in this Offering.

 

Our management will have broad discretion on how to use any proceeds we receive from this Offering and may use the proceeds in ways that differ from the proposed uses discussed in this Memorandum. Our stockholders may not agree with our decision on how to use such proceeds. If we fail to spend the proceeds effectively, our business and financial condition could be harmed.

 

The "best efforts" nature of the offering means that the Company may not be able to raise the funds it expects to raise which would have material adverse impact on the Company’s prospects.

 

The Shares are being offered hereby on an all or none basis until the minimum Offering Amount is raised, if at all, and then on a "best efforts, minimum/maximum” basis and not on a "firm commitment" basis. As a result, in the event the Company is not able to raise the minimum offering amount, it will not consummate the Offering. There can be no assurance that the minimum offering amount will be raised, in which event the Company will require additional financing which it may not be able to obtain on satisfactory terms.

 

If the Company only raises the minimum amount its ability to raise funds in the future may be materially adversely affected and an investor’s investment may be lost.

 

If only the minimum amount is raised the Company will only have enough cash to operate for approximately 12 months. The Company’s ability to obtain additional financing thereafter may have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s ability to remain in business and your investment may be lost.

 

Our common stock could be further diluted as the result of the issuance of additional Common Shares, convertible securities, warrants or options.

 

Our issuance of additional common stock, convertible securities, options and warrants could affect the rights of our stockholders, result in a reduction in the overall percentage holdings of our stockholders, could put downward pressure on the market price of our common stock, could result in adjustments to conversion and exercise prices of outstanding notes and warrants, and could obligate us to issue additional Common Stock to certain of our stockholders.

 

Common Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market.

 

From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their Common Shares by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to Rule 144, non-affiliate stockholders may sell freely after six months subject only to the current public information requirement. Affiliates may sell after six months subject to the Rule 144 volume, manner of sale (for equity securities), and current public information and notice requirements.

If we are not able to achieve our objectives for our business, the value of an investment in our company could be negatively affected.

 

In order to be successful, we believe that we must, among other things:

 

  increase the sales volume and gross margins for our products;
     
  maintain efficiencies in operations;
     
  manage our operating expenses to sufficiently support operating activities;
     
  maintain fixed costs at or near current levels; and
     
  avoid significant increases in variable costs relating to production, marketing and distribution.

 

We may not be able to meet these objectives, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We have incurred significant operating expenses in the past and may do so again in the future and, as a result, will need to increase revenues in order to improve our results of operations. Our ability to increase sales will depend primarily on success in expanding our current markets, improving our distribution base, entering into Direct-To-Retail (DTR) arrangements with national accounts, and introducing new brands, products or product extensions to the market. Our ability to successfully enter new distribution areas and obtain national accounts will, in turn, depend on various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, but not limited to, the continued demand for our brands and products in target markets, the ability to price our products at competitive levels, the ability to establish and maintain relationships with distributors in each geographic area of distribution and the ability in the future to create, develop and successfully introduce one or more new brands, products, and product extensions.

 

Any future equity or debt issuances by us may have dilutive or adverse effects on our existing shareholders.

 

From time to time, we may issue additional shares of common stock or convertible securities. The issuance of these securities could dilute our shareholders’ ownership in our company and may include terms that give new investors rights that are superior to those of our current shareholders. Moreover, any issuances by us of equity securities may be at or below the prevailing market price of our common stock and in any event may have a dilutive impact on our shareholders’ ownership interest, which could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

 

You should consult your independent tax advisor regarding any tax matters arising with respect to the Securities.

 

All prospective purchasers of the Securities are advised to consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences relevant to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Securities.

 

21

 

 

If the Company only raises the Minimum Offering Amount, we may not have sufficient capital to execute our business strategy.

 

If we close on the Minimum Offering Amount, we may not have sufficient capital to execute on our business strategy the way we intended. Our ability to obtain additional financing thereafter may have a materially adverse effect on our ability to execute its overall plan and your investment may be lost.

 

Investor funds will not accrue interest while in escrow prior to closing.

 

All funds delivered in connection with subscriptions for the common stock will be held in a non-interest bearing escrow account with the Escrow Agent until the closing of the offering, if any. If we are unable to sell and receive payments for the Minimum Offering Amount prior to investor subscriptions will be returned without interest or deduction. Investors in the common stock offered hereby may not have the use of such funds or receive interest thereon pending the completion of the offering.

 

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering and may experience additional dilution in the future.

 

You will incur immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering. After giving effect to the sale by us of 1,250,000 shares at an assumed public offering price of $       and warrants to purchase        shares of common stock and after deducting the Placement Agent’s commission and estimated offering expenses payable by us, investors in this offering can expect an immediate dilution of $              per share in the case of the Minimum Shares Offering and after giving effect to the sale by us of 3,750,000 shares offered in this offering at an assumed public offering price of $8.00  per share and warrants to purchase 1,875,000   shares of common stock and after deducting the Placement Agents’ commission and estimated offering expenses payable by us, investors in this offering can expect an immediate dilution of $                per share in the case of the Maximum Shares Offering. In addition, in the past, we issued options and warrants to acquire shares of common stock. To the extent these options or warrants are ultimately exercised, you will sustain future dilution.

 

The purchase warrants are speculative in nature.

 

The purchase warrants do not confer any rights of common stock ownership on their holders, such as voting rights or the right to receive dividends, but rather merely represent the right to acquire shares of common stock at a fixed price for a limited period of time. Specifically, commencing six months from the date of issuance, holders of the warrants may exercise their right to acquire the common stock and pay an initial exercise price of $                           , subject to adjustment, for a period of eighteen months or 3 years from the date the purchase warrants are initially exercisable, as applicable, after which date any unexercised purchase warrants will expire and have no further value. Moreover, following this offering, there can be no assurance that the market price of the common stock will ever equal or exceed the exercise price of the purchase warrants, and consequently, whether it will ever be profitable for holders of the warrants to exercise the warrants.

 

There is no public market for the warrants being offered in this offering.

 

There is no established public trading market for the pre-funded warrants or the purchase warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the pre-funded warrants or purchase warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system. Without an active market, the liquidity of the pre-funded warrants and the purchase warrants will be limited.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

After deducting the commissions payable to the Placement Agent and the estimated offering expenses that are payable by us, we estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of the common stock warrants offered pursuant to this prospectus will be approximately $       if only the Minimum Offering Amount is sold and $          if the Maximum Offering Amount is sold.

 

The chart below represents how the Company plans to use the proceeds from this Offering based on the sale of the Minimum Offering Amount, Maximum Offering Amount and if the Maximum Offering Amount is increased to $                 . The Company’s management will have broad discretion over the use of the funds received in this Offering and such uses may deviate from the chart below.

 

Purpose   Assuming the Sale of Minimum Offering Amount   Assuming of the Maximum Offering Amount
Inventory        
General Working Capital        
Professional fees        
Total:        

 

We may also use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering and our existing cash to in-license, acquire or invest in complementary businesses, technologies, products or assets. However, we have no current plans, commitments or obligations to do so. Other than as set forth, we do not anticipate requiring any material amounts of other funds to accomplish the specified purposes.

 

We believe that the net proceeds from this offering (whether from the Minimum Offering Amount or the Maximum Offering Amount) and our existing cash will be sufficient to fund our operations through at least the next 24 months. This expected use of the net proceeds from the offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions. We cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses of the net proceeds that we will receive from this offering, or the amounts that we will actually spend on the uses set forth above. We may find it necessary or advisable to use the net proceeds for other purposes, and we will have broad discretion in using these proceeds. Investors will be relying on our judgment regarding the use of the net proceeds from this offering. Pending the use of proceeds as described above, we plan to invest the net proceeds that we receive in short-term and intermediate-term interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade investments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government. We cannot predict whether the invested proceeds will yield a favorable return.

 

Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

The Company did have a “Stock Incentive Plan” which was adopted in 2012.

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have not declared any cash dividends on our common stock since inception and do not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future. We plan to retain any future earnings for use in our business operations. Any decisions as to future payment of cash dividends will depend on our earnings and financial position and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant.

 

CAPITALIZATION

 

The following table sets forth our capitalization, as of March 31, 2020:

 

  on an actual basis; and
     
  on a pro forma basis to give effect to the sale of the shares in this offering at the assumed public offering price of $       per share, after deducting commissions payable to the Placement Agent and other estimated offering expenses payable by us.

  

DILUTION

 

If you invest in our securities, your interest will be immediately and substantially diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of our common stock and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock after giving effect to this offering.

 

Our net tangible book value as of March 31, 20 was $              , or approximately $                                         per share of common stock, based upon                          shares outstanding as                                                 .

 

If the minimum amount is raised, after giving effect to the sale of the shares in this offering at the assumed public offering price of $                        per share and after deducting commissions paid to the Placement Agents and other estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma net tangible book value at                                              would have been approximately $                             or $                        per share. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of approximately $                       per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $                           per share to investors purchasing securities in this offering.

 

If the maximum amount is raised, after giving effect to the sale of the shares in this offering at the assumed public offering price of $                        per share and after deducting commissions paid to the Placement Agent and other estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma net tangible book value at                                     would have been approximately $                           or $                           per share. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of approximately $                      per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $                                    per share to investors purchasing securities in this offering.

 

24

 

 

Dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of our common stock in this offering and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering.

 

The following table illustrates the per share dilution to investors purchasing shares in the offering if the minimum and maximum number of shares are sold in this offering:

 

Assumed public offering price per share   Minimum      Maximum   
Net tangible book value per share as of   $                      $                   
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering   $       $    
Pro forma net tangible book value per share after this offering   $       $    
Amount of dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering   $       $    

 

If we sell the minimum number of shares in the offering, each $                          increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of $                          would increase (decrease) our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of                          by $                          , or $                          per share, and the dilution (benefit) purchase to purchasers in this offering by $                          per share.

 

If we sell the maximum number of shares in the offering, each $                          increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of $                          would increase (decrease) our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of                          by $                          , or $                          per share, and the dilution (benefit) purchase to purchasers in this offering by $                          per share.

 

If any shares are issued upon exercise of outstanding options or warrants, new investors will experience further dilution.

 

BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

Canfield Medical Supply, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Ohio on September 3, 1992, and changed domicile to Colorado on April 18, 2012. CMS is in the business of home health services, primarily the selling of durable medical equipment and medical supplies to the public, nursing homes, hospitals and other end users.

 

On December 31, 2019, Canfield entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with SBG Acquisition Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Nevada Corporation wholly-owned by Canfield, and Splash Beverage Group, Inc. a Nevada corporation (“Splash” or "SBG”) pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Splash (the “Merger”) with Splash as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canfield. The Merger was consummated on March 31, 2020.

 

25

 

 

As the owners and management of Splash have voting and operating control of CMS following the Merger, the Merger transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition (that is with Splash as the acquiring entity), followed by a recapitalization.

 

In connection with the Merger, Splash entered into Lock-Up Agreements with officers, directors, employees, consultants and beneficial owners of more than 10% of the outstanding shares of Splash prior to the Merger (the “Lock-Up Holder”). Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreements, the Lock-Up Holder agreed that for a period of 180 days (“Lock-Up Period”) from the Merger the Lock-Up Holder will not offer, pledge, sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of the common stock of the Company that the Lock-Up Holder receives in connection with the Merger( the “Lock-Up Securities”). Upon termination of the Lock-up Period the Lock-Up Holder may release from the sale restrictions in the Lock-Up agreements contained up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Lock-up Securities during ninety (90) days after expiration of Lock Up Period and (ii) release from the sale restrictions contained in the Lock-Up Agreement all remaining Lock-up Securities six months after the Lock Up Period (collectively these six months are, the “Leak-Out Period”).

 

The Lock-up Securities may be released from the sale restrictions contained in the Lock-Up Agreement at any time following the Lock-up Period when both (a) the volume of Canfield shares traded are at least 50,000 shares of common stock per day and (b) the closing price per share determined on a volume weighted average price basis equals not less than 300% of deemed value per share for 20 consecutive trading days have been met. The “deemed value per share” shall equal the aggregate Canfield enterprise value post-Merger divided by the total number of shares outstanding but in any event shall be not less than $1.00 per share (before giving effect to a proposed reverse stock split discussed below).

 

The Lock-Up Agreements apply to approximately 4,734,334 shares of the common stock of the Company.

 

In connection with the Merger, Splash entered into Promissory Note Conversion Agreements (with approximately eighteen (18) holders who held $7,748,720 in principal and interest amount of debt. Pursuant to the Promissory Note Conversion Agreements, the holders agreed to convert the outstanding amount including principal and interest of the promissory notes held by them and receive common stock of Splash at a conversion rate of $1.00 per share. As a result of the conversions, 10,560,900 shares of the common stock of Splash (the “Note Conversion Shares”) were issued in exchange for the Outstanding Promissory Notes. Pursuant to the Promissory Note Conversion Agreements, the holders were given piggyback rights with respect to the Note Conversion Shares, which would require that the Note Conversion Shares are included on a registration statement that the Company files with the Commission seeking to register other shares. Under the Promissory Note Conversion Agreement, if the Company shall fail to raise $9,000,000 of additional capital no later than six months from the date of the Merger, then the holder may seek to rescind the Promissory Note Conversion Agreement, return the Note Conversion Shares and receive a replacement promissory note from the Company.

 

In connection with the Merger, Splash entered into Preferred Stock Conversion Agreements with the three (3) holders of 1,000,000 shares of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and thirty-eight (38) holders of 3,913,418 shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the conversion agreements the holders agreed to convert their Preferred Stock into 13,930,413 shares (the “Preferred Stock Conversion Shares”) of the common stock of Splash. Pursuant to the Preferred Stock Conversion Agreements, the holders were given piggyback rights with respect to the Preferred Stock Conversion Shares, which would require that the Preferred Stock Conversion Shares are included on a registration statement that the Company files with the Commission seeking to register other shares. Under the Preferred Stock Conversion Agreement, if the Company shall fail to raise $9,000,000 of additional capital no later than six months from the date of the Merger, then the holder may seek to rescind the Preferred Stock Conversion Agreement, return the Preferred Stock Conversion Shares and receive replacement shares of preferred stock from the Company.

 

26

 

 

In connection with the Merger, the Company issued (i) warrants to purchase 1,838,745 shares of its common stock to the holders of 1,349,120 shares of Splash Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred B Warrants”) and (ii) warrants to purchase 96,664 shares of its common stock to certain debt holders of Splash in connection with a previous repurchase of Splash debt by such lenders. The original Preferred B warrants had an exercise price of $1.50 per share subject to adjustment as set forth in the warrant and may be exercised on a cashless basis as set forth in the Warrant. The warrants are exercisable until five years from the date of issuance. The warrants contain a dilutive issuance provision such that in the event that the Company sells or issue shares of common stock for consideration that is less than the current exercise price the exercise price shall be reduced concurrently with such issue.

 

In connection with the Merger, the company issued warrants to purchase 4,088,766 shares of its common stock to the holders of warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of Splash common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.25 per share subject to adjustment as set forth in the warrant. If at any time after the warrant is issued, there is no effective registration statement registering or no current prospectus available for the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant and the fair market value of one (1) share of Warrant Stock is greater than the exercise price the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis. The warrants may be exercised until three years from the issuance date.

 

At the Closing for the Merger, each outstanding share of common stock, was converted into such amount of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the common stock of the Company so that, upon completion of the Merger, the Company issued to Splash’s equity holders common stock equaling approximately 85% of the Company on a fully diluted basis in exchange for the common stock of Splash and the current shareholders of the Company will own approximately 15% of the Company.

 

In connection with entering the plan of merger with Splash Beverage, the Company agreed to tender and offer to sell to Mr. Michael West its existing home health services business. That transaction pursuant to which the Company will transfer its existing home health services business has not yet occurred. When the transfer does occur, the Company believes that the assets comprising the home health services business constitute less than substantially all of the Company’s assets.

 

The Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink under the symbol SBEV.

 

Company Overview and History

 

Splash was incorporated in the State of Nevada under the name TapouT Beverages, Inc. for the purpose of acquiring the rights under a license agreement with TapouT, LLC (Authentic Brands Group and now the WWE) for the right to use the TapouT brand in connection with manufacturing and selling certain beverages. Robert Nistico was hired as CEO and the name was changed to Splash Beverage Group, Inc. (SBG) to reflect the revised business plan of being a manufacturer and distributor of several brands of beverages including both non-alcoholic and spirits brands.

 

Robert Nistico has over 28 years of experience in all levels of the three-tier distribution system used in the beverage industry. Prior to joining the Company, he led the Marley Beverage Company from startup to over $47 million in annual revenues and ultimately profitability in three and one-half years. Before that he was the 5th employee at Red Bull North America, Inc. and served as General Manager, VP of Field Marketing and Sr. Vice President & General Manager during his 11 years there. He was instrumental in building the Red Bull brand in North and Central America and the Caribbean from $0 revenue to $1.6 billion in annual revenues. Nistico began his career with the Gallo Winery, quickly ascending within that system between winery and senior positions in distribution with Premier Beverage and RNDC Texas.

 

27

 

 

Mr. Nistico has assembled a team of experienced beverage industry professionals with the goal of replicating the business model of companies like Diageo of owning some brands and managing others where there are synergies among a distribution standpoint. SBG however, has an additional strategic advantage of “brand incubation” with its own ecommerce platform.

 

SBG has license rights to the TapouT brand for the United States and several other countries and we have joint venture with SALT Flavored Tequila. Mr. Nistico and SBG understand the proven strategy of infusing beverage brands with strong pop culture and lifestyle elements which drives trial, belief and most importantly repeat purchase.

 

Our Strategy

 

Our strategy is to combine the traditional approach of manufacturing, distributing, and marketing of beverages, but with brands that have a reasonable level of pre-existing brand awareness (market presence) or have attributes that we believe to be purely innovative. These are SBG’s core values. We believe this allows SBG to break through the clutter of numerous brand introductions and dilute risk. This philosophy is applied regardless as to whether the brand is to be 100% owned or a joint venture.

 

For acquisition or joint venture consideration, we prefer to work with brands that already have one or more of the following in place:

 

  Some level of preexisting brand awareness
  Regional presence that can be expanded
  Licensing an existing brand name (TapouT for example)
  Add to an underdeveloped and growing category
  Innovation to an existing attractive category (Flavored Tequila)

 

We believe offering brand founders access to our shared services model, provides us with two paths to success: one, developing our wholly owned core brands and two the ability to tap into high growth early stage brands ready to scale. By managing joint venture brands, we can significantly reduce their development expense while simultaneously increasing efficiencies for all brands in the SBG portfolio.

 

Most new single beverage brands have limited access to distribution and thus find it extremely difficult to obtain meaningful retail shelf presence. With decades of successful brand introductions (Gallo, Red Bull, Bacardi, DIAGEO, Sparkling Ice, Jones Soda, FUZE Beverage, NOS Energy, SoBe Beverages, Muscle Milk, Marley Beverages) our ability to break through the distribution and retail bottlenecks makes us an attractive joint venture partner to many new brand owners.

 

Our business ventures are typically structured with a revenue split, a marketing spend commitment from the brand founder and an earned equity position that constitutes control. Most are happy to award an equity position in their brand in exchange for distribution, sales and marketing management within the distribution network which eliminates their need to invest in infrastructure. Our partners only need to manage a small base of corporate operations.

 

We benefit by avoiding the development costs for new products. This model spreads our risk over several brands, contributes to our economies of scale, and it improves our relationship with distribution because we can provide them with a broader line of proven beverage products.

 

28

 

 

Since our inception we have seen very good deal flow having been offered over 20 brands. SBG is only engaging with brands that fit comfortably within the above guidelines and are in some way complementary to each other categorically or from a distribution standpoint.

 

We also believe the distribution landscape in the beverage category is changing rapidly and see that tech-enabled business models are thriving. Direct to consumer, office or home solutions are projected to continue to gain traction in the future. A core strategy for SBG is to build onto the early success we’re seeing with the Qplash online platform.

 

Products

 

We produce, distribute and market two beverages brands, “TapouT Performance”, a hydration & recovery isotonic sport drink and SALT Naturally Flavored Tequila, a 100% agave 80 proof line of flavored tequilas. The following is a description of these products.

 

SALT Flavored Tequila

 

 

We produce, distribute, and market the following flavors under the brand name SALT Naturally Flavored Tequila:

 

  Citrus flavor

 

  Berry flavor

 

  Chocolate flavor

 

SALT Tequila is the first line of 100% agave 80-proof flavored tequilas. Tequila, vodka, rum, and now even brown spirits have experienced significant growth when flavors were introduced, and we expect significant growth as the tequila category is already growing at double digits.

 

SALT is currently being launched and distributed by RNDC, Youngs Market and Major Brands to Walmart and Total Wine to date in 6 U.S. states and is for sale in Mexico. Several South American countries will also launch SALT during fall 2020.

TapouT License Agreement

 

We have the rights under a License Agreement to North, Central and South America, US military bases, Australia, South Africa and the EU. The beverages covered by the License Agreement include sports drinks, energy drinks, energy shots, water, protein, teas, etc.

 

We pay a 6% royalty of net sales or a guaranteed minimum royalty of $540,000 whichever is greater. This agreement goes through December 31, 2022.

 

We have the right to use the TapouT brand to market, advertise and promote for sale our TapouT beverages, and TapouT agrees to provide us with certain materials which we can use in connection with our advertising and promotion. We are required to spend 2% of our net sales on marketing expenditures such as expenses attributable to trade shows, catalogs and websites, point-of-sale advertising featuring TapouT products and other retail advertising. TapouT has certain relationships with certain celebrity and athletic talent and, if requested, it agrees to use its reasonable efforts to request the celebrities and/or athletes to be present at autograph signings, tradeshows and other similar events.

 

Manufacturing and Distribution

 

SBG is responsible for the manufacturing of the TapouT Performance Beverage and SALT Naturally Flavored Tequila.

 

Although we are responsible for manufacturing TapouT and SALT, we do not directly manufacture these products, but instead we outsource such manufacturing to third party bottlers and contract packers.

 

We purchase concentrates, flavors, dietary ingredients, cans, bottles, caps, labels, and other ingredients for our beverage products from our suppliers, which are delivered to our various third-party bottlers and co-packers. In some cases, certain common supplies may be purchased by our various third-party bottlers and co-packers. Depending on the product, the third-party bottlers or packers add filtered water and/or other ingredients (including dietary ingredients) for the manufacture and packaging of the finished products into our approved containers in accordance with our formulas.

 

31

 

 

Co-Packing Arrangements

 

Our TapouT products are manufactured by various third-party bottlers and co-packers situated throughout the United States under separate arrangements with each party. Our co-packaging arrangements are generally on a month-to-month basis or are terminable upon request and do not typically obligate us to produce any minimum quantities of products within specified periods.

 

In some instances, subject to agreement, certain equipment may be purchased by us and installed at the facilities of our co-packers to enable them to produce certain of our products. In general, such equipment remains our property and is returned to us upon termination of the packing arrangements with such co-packers, unless we are reimbursed by the co-packer via a per-case credit over a predetermined number of cases that are produced at the facilities concerned.

 

We are generally responsible for arranging for the purchase and delivery to our third-party bottlers and co-packers the containers in which our beverage products are packaged.

 

We pack some of our products in multiple locations to enable us to produce finished goods closer to the markets where they are sold, with the objective of reducing freight costs as well as transportation-related product damages. As distribution volumes increase, we will continue to source additional packing arrangements closer to such markets to further reduce logistics costs. Our ability to estimate demand for our products is imprecise, particularly with new products, and may be less precise during periods of rapid growth, particularly in new markets. If we materially underestimate demand for our products and/or are unable to secure sufficient ingredients or raw materials including, but not limited to aluminum cans, PET plastic bottles, labels, flavors, juice concentrates, dietary ingredients, and other ingredients, and/or procure adequate packing arrangements and/or obtain adequate or timely shipment of our products, we might not be able to satisfy demand on a short-term basis.

 

Our production arrangements are generally of short duration or are terminable upon our request. For some of our products, there may be limited co-packing facilities in our domestic market with adequate capacity and/or suitable equipment to package our products. We believe a short disruption or delay in production would not significantly affect our revenues; however, as alternative co-packing facilities in our domestic market with adequate long-term capacity may not be available for such products, either at commercially reasonable rates and/or within a reasonably short time period, if at all, a lengthy disruption or delay in production of any of such products could significantly affect our revenues.

 

We continue to actively seek alternative and/or additional advantageously located co-packing facilities with adequate capacity and capability for the production of our various products to minimize transportation costs and transportation-related damages as well as to create redundancies to mitigate the risk of a disruption in production and/or importation.

 

Distribution

 

In the United States we operate within what is referred to as the “Three Tier Distribution System” where manufacturers do not typically sell directly to retailers, but instead contract for local and regional distribution with independent distributors. These distributors typically have geographic rights to distribute major beverage brands such as Budweiser, Pepsi, and Red Bull and call on every store in a given area such as major cities or regions. However, due to increasing costs over the last 20 years for these distributors to call on every store (sometimes referred to in the industry as “DSD” or direct store delivery), there has been a great deal of consolidation which has limited the options for new brands to gain distribution and retail shelf presence. Our management team believes that their history of success and experience working within this channel will allow SBG to be successful in building a strong network of these distributors.

 

In addition to working with these independent distributors, we also have distribution arrangements with national retail accounts to distribute some of our products directly through their warehouse operations.

E-commerce

 

“Qplash” is the consumer-packaged goods retail division of Splash Beverage Group and our first entry point into the growing e-commerce channel. The division sells beverages & groceries online through qplash.com, and third-party storefronts such as Amazon.com and Walmart.com. Inside of the division, there are two primary customer groups, B-to-B retail businesses, which in turn offer the products to their customers, and B-to-C, selling direct to end users.

 

Qplash sells to retailers through www.qplash.com. These retailers, generally in the high-end apparel space, are working to enhance their customers in store shopping experience. They offer high end beverages to for customers to enjoy while shopping or to take on the go. This program allows businesses to control inventory, order with payment terms, and the convenience of delivery directly to each store.

 

To the end user, we ship orders from our warehouses direct to their home or office. We offer competitive pricing, an easy & convenient transactional process, and a wide selection of products. Consumers can order from qplash.com, from our storefront on Amazon, or other third-party platforms. Amazon is a valuable revenue source as it allows us to access their loyal customer base and a high conversion rate as they are comfortable navigating and checking out.

 

Currently we offer over 350 listings and ship from Ontario, California. Later this year, we plan to activate additional warehouse partnerships, thus reducing shipping costs and the transit times while gaining access to several thousand additional items. Our objective is to offer 1,500 items by the end of 2020.

 

Additionally, this vertically integrated platform affords SBG a unique opportunity to incubate, accelerate and ultimately migrate brands to traditional distribution.

 

The Qplash division is managed by Jeremy and Albert Reichmann. Together they have over 15 years of ecommerce experience building and managing ecommerce companies and related projects. Their extensive knowledge of logistics, beverage & grocery products, and B-to-B and B-to-C marketing allows us to tap into a $58.6 billion industry (US online CPG sales grew 35.4% in 2018 and represented 11% of the total market).

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this prospectus, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

Splash Beverage Group (“SBG”), f/k/a Canfield Medical Supply, Inc. (the “CMS”), was incorporated in the State of Ohio on September 3, 1992, and changed domicile to Colorado on April 18, 2012. CMS is in the business of home health services, primarily the selling of durable medical equipment and medical supplies to the public, nursing homes, hospitals and other end users.

 

On December 31, 2019, CMS entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with SBG Acquisition Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Nevada Corporation wholly-owned by CMS, and Splash Beverage Group, Inc. a Nevada corporation (“Splash”) pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Splash (the “Merger”) with Splash as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMS. The Merger was consummated on March 31, 2020.

 

As the owners and management of Splash have voting and operating control of CMS following the Merger, the Merger transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition (that is with Splash as the acquiring entity), followed by a recapitalization.

 

As part of the recapitalization, previously issued shares of SBG preferred stock have been reflected as shares of common stock that were received in the Merger. These common shares have been retrospectively presented as outstanding for all periods.

 

Splash specializes in the manufacturing, distribution, and sales & marketing of various beverages across multiple channels. Splash operates in both the non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverage segments. Additionally, Splash operates its own vertically integrated B-to-B and B-to-C e-commerce distribution platform called Qplash, further expanding its distribution abilities and visibility.

 

On July 2, 2020, CMS received a Certificate of Good Standing from the State of Colorado. This certificate allowed us to change our name from Canfield Medical Supply, Inc. to Splash Beverage Group, Inc. a Colorado company. On July 31, 2020, we received approval from FINRA to change the Company’s name from Canfield Medical Supply, Inc. to Splash Beverage Group, Inc.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

  

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts and are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with clients and other factors. We establish provisions for losses on accounts receivable on the basis of loss experience, known and inherent risk in the account balance, and current economic conditions.  At December 31, 2019 and 2018, our accounts receivable amounts are reflected net of allowances of $11,430 and $0, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, accounted for using the weighted average cost method. The inventory balances at December 31, 2019 and 2018 consisted of finished goods held for distribution. The cost elements in inventory consist of purchase of products, transportation, and warehousing. Inventory valuation is impacted by excess or inventory near expiration based on management’s estimates for excess or inventory near expiration based on management’s estimates of forecast turnover of inventories on hand and under contract. A significant change in the timing or level of demand for certain products as compared to forecast amounts may result in recording expense for excess or expired inventory in the future. The costs  for excess inventory are included in cost of goods sold and have historically been adequate to provide for losses on inventory. We manage inventory levels and purchase commitments in an effort to maximize utilization of inventory on hand and under commitments.

Convertible Instruments

U.S. GAAP requires the bifurcation of certain conversion rights contained in convertible indebtedness and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. This criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as that term is described under applicable U.S. GAAP.

 

When bifurcation is required, the embedded conversion options are bifurcated from the convertible note, resulting in the recognition of discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.  Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.

Convertible Instruments, continued

 

With respect to convertible preferred stock, we record a dividend for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred securities based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the preferred shares.

 

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance sets forth a five-step model which depicts the recognition of revenue in an amount that reflects what we expect to receive in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to customers.

 

We recognize revenue when our performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. Product sales occur once control of our products is transferred upon delivery to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods and is presented net of provisions for customer returns and allowances. The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize varies with changes in customer incentives we offer to our customers and their customers. Sales taxes and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.

 

Distribution expenses to transport our products, where applicable, and warehousing expense after manufacture are accounted for within operating expenses.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold include the costs of products, packaging, transportation, warehousing, and costs associated with valuation allowances for expired, damaged or impaired inventory.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation” and ASU 2018-07, “Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. Under the fair value recognition provisions, cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period, which is generally the option vesting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606). This ASU supersedes the previous revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605—Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle within Topic 606 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received for those goods or services. Transition methods under ASU 2014-09 must be through either (i) retrospective application to each prior reporting period presented, or (ii) retrospective application with a cumulative effect adjustment at the date of initial application.

 

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively, “ASC 606”), using the retrospective application with a cumulative effect adjustment at the date of initial application, which (i) creates a single framework for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers that fall within its scope and (ii) revises when it is appropriate to recognize a gain (loss) from the transfer of nonfinancial asset. The adoption did not have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842). We adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of this standard resulted in recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, for all leases with a term greater than 12 months. When available, we would use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value. However, our leases generally do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, our management estimates the incremental borrowing rate to discount lease payments based on the information at the lease commencement. The accounting for finance leases is substantially unchanged. Given the nature of our operation, the adoption of Topic 842 did not have a material impact on our balance sheet, statement of operations, or liquidity. Refer to Note 11 – Operating Lease Obligations for information regarding our adoption of Topic 842 and the Company’s undiscounted future lease payments and the timing of those payments.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

 

Results of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2019 compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2018

 

Revenue

 

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $20,387 compared to revenues of $16,176 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The $4,211 increase in sales is due to an increase within our vertically integrated B2B and B2C e-commerce distribution platform called Qplash. This platform sells goods on both Amazon and Shopify. Cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $245,500 compared to cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2018 of $109,706. The $135,794 increase in cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2019 is primarily due to our increased additional warehouse costs compared to 2018.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $4,261,946 compared to $3,003,168 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The $1,258,778 increase in our operating expenses was primarily a result of $616,000 in contracted services and $570,000 in salaries and wages. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 was $5,135,731 as compared to a net loss of $3,823,913 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in net loss is due to the increases in operating expenses and cost of goods sold slightly offset by the increase in revenues.

 

Other Income/(Expense)

 

Other Income/(Expense) for the year ended December 31, 2019 were $648,672 compared to $727,215 for the year ended December 31, 2018. The $19,638 increase in our interest expenses was primarily a result of adding new note holders in 2019.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.

 

As of December 31, 2019, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $42,639, as compared with $938,040 at December 31, 2018. The decrease is primarily due to operating expenses to run the business.

 

Net cash used for operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2019 was $2,658,328 as compared to the net cash used by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2018 of $2,471,195. The primary reasons for the change in net cash used is due to losses sustained offset by changes in working capital and non-cash transactions.

 

Net cash used for investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2019 was $12,552 as compared to the net cash used by investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2018 of $1,336. The net cash used in the year ended December 31, 2019 was primarily due to additional computers purchased.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2019 was $1,775,479 compared to $3,406,766 provided from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we received $2,500,000 from debt issuances offset by payments/costs associated with debt holders.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2019.

 

Revenue

 

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $ $724,311 compared to revenues of $48,105 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The $676,206 increase in sales was due to Salt Tequila $122,151, Qplash – our vertically integrated B2B and B2C e-commerce distribution platform which sells their products on Amazon and Shopify ($300,148) and Canfield’s medical device business $199,579. Cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $ 394,987 compared to cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2019 of $74,418. The $ 320,569 increase in cost of goods sold for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to our increased sales, and as our sales increased, our cost of sales for those sales correspondingly increased.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $2,268,819 compared to $1,177,527 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The $1,091,292 increase in our operating expenses was primarily a result of recording $500,000 in consulting fees for one of our investors, $188,053 in professional fees, $132,453 in consulting fees relating to the Qplash business, $100,000 for treasury stock issuance  and $108,516 of payments made for our TapouT license. The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $3,823,668 as compared to a net loss of $1,624,364 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in net loss is due to our increase in operating expenses slightly offset by our increase in revenues.

 

Other Income/(Expense)

 

Other interest/(expense) for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $1,884,173 compared to $420,524 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The $1,463,649 increase in our interest expenses was primarily a result of recording a finance charge of $1,657,805 associated with warrants issued to one of our note holders.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support its current and future operations, satisfy its obligations, and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. Significant factors in the management of liquidity are funds generated by operations, levels of accounts receivable and accounts payable and capital expenditures.

 

As of June 30, 2020, we had total cash and cash equivalents of $ $118,751, as compared with $42,639 at December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily due to issuances of notes payable offset by expenses relating to the operating the business.

 

Net cash used for operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $ 1,783,007 as compared to the net cash used by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 of $1,399,485. The primary reasons for the change in net cash used was due to losses sustained and increases for issuance of warrants, offset by non-cash expenses.

 

Net cash used for investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $81,999 as compared to the net cash used by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 of $4,526. The net cash used in the first half of 2020 was primarily due to the $150,000 payment made to SALT Tequila USA, offset by $72,422 of cash obtained in the acquisition of Canfield Medical Supply, Inc.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $1,941,018 compared to $535,413 provided from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we received $2,162,249 from investors and related parties, which was offset by repayments to shareholders of $120,106 and a settlement payment of $61,248.

Committees of the Board of Directors

 

Our shares are currently quoted on the OTC Pink under the symbol “SBEV.”   We have no separately designated standing audit committee, compensation committee, nominating committee, executive committee or any other committees of our Board of Directors. The functions of those committees are currently undertaken by our Board of Directors. 

 

Our Board of Directors believes that, considering our size, decisions relating to director nominations can be made on a case-by-case basis by all members of the Board of Directors without the formality of a nominating committee or a nominating committee charter. To date, we have not engaged third parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying potential nominees, although we reserve the right to do so in the future.

 

The Board of Directors does not have an express policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by stockholders since the Board of Directors believes that it can adequately evaluate any such nominees on a case-by-case basis; however, the Board of Directors will evaluate stockholder recommended candidates under the same criteria as internally generated candidates. Although the Board of Directors does not currently have any formal minimum criteria for nominees, substantial relevant business and industry experience would generally be considered important, as would the ability to attend and prepare for board, committee and stockholder meetings. Any candidate must state in advance his or her willingness and interest in serving on the board of directors.

 

Code of Ethics 

 

We have not yet adopted a code of ethics but intend to do so in the near future.

Directors Compensation

 

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, our directors were not paid any compensation for serving as Directors of the Company.

 

Equity Compensation Plan Information

 

We have adopted 2020 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), the nature and purpose of which is to create incentives which are designed to motivate and compensate the Company’s officers, directors, employees, and consultants (hereafter, collectively, “Participants” or individually a “Participant”) Participants to put forth maximum effort toward the success and growth of the Company and to enable the Company to attract and retain experienced individuals who by their position, ability and diligence are able to make important contributions to the Company’s success. Toward these objectives, the Plan provides for the grant of Options, Restricted Stock Awards, Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”), Performance Units and Performance Bonuses to Eligible Employees and the grant of Nonqualified Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards, SARs and Performance Units to Consultants and Eligible Directors, subject to the conditions set forth in the Plan.

 

The Plan is attached as an exhibit to this information statement and provides for the issuance of up to 6,939,980 shares of the Company’s common stock, $.0001 par value (the “Common Stock”), all of which may be issued in respect of Incentive Stock Options Awards (“Awards”).   The Plan is effective as of July 1, 2020 and for a period of ten years thereafter. The Plan shall continue in effect until all matters relating to the payment of Awards and administration of the Plan have been settled.

 

47

 

 

On the first day of each calendar year, commencing January 1, 2021, or the first business day of the calendar year if the first day of the calendar year falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the Awards of Common Stock available under the Plan will automatically increase in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 31st of the preceding fiscal year or (ii) such number of shares of Common Stock as determined by the Board, provided that no such increase shall be effective if it would violate any applicable law or stock exchange rule or regulation, or result in adverse tax consequences to the Company or any Participant that would not otherwise result but for the increase.

 

The Board shall administer the Plan. The Board may, by resolution, appoint the Compensation Committee to administer the Plan and delegate its powers as set forth and described under the Plan and otherwise under the Plan for purposes of Awards granted to Participants

 

The termination of a Participant’s directorship, employment, consulting relationship may result in the forfeiture of any unvested portion of an Award granted under the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement: (i) if an Eligible Employee’s employment with the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliated Entity terminates as a result of death, Disability or Retirement, the Eligible Employee (or personal representative in the case of death) shall be entitled to purchase all or any part of the shares subject to any (x) vested Incentive Stock Option for a period of up to three months from such date of termination (one year in the case of death or Disability), and (y) vested Nonqualified Stock Option during the remaining term of the Option; and (ii) if an Eligible Employee’s employment terminates for any other reason, the Eligible Employee shall be entitled to purchase all or any part of the shares subject to any vested Option for a period of up to three months from such date of termination. In no event shall any Option be exercisable past the term of the Option. The Board may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of unvested Options in the event of termination of employment of any Participant.

 

In addition, except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement: (i) in the event a Consultant ceases to provide services to the Company or an Eligible Director terminates service as a director of the Company, the unvested portion of any Award shall be forfeited unless otherwise accelerated pursuant to the terms of the Eligible Director’s Award Agreement or by the Board; and (ii) the Consultant or Eligible Director shall have a period of three years following the date he ceases to provide consulting services or ceases to be a director, as applicable, to exercise any Nonqualified Stock Options which are otherwise exercisable on his date of termination of service.

 

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of July 15, 2020, and as adjusted to reflect the sale of common stock in this offering, for:

  

  each of our current directors and executive officers;
     
  all of our current directors and executive officers as a group; and
     
  each person, or group of affiliated persons, who beneficially owned more than 5% of our common stock.

 

Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares of common stock that they beneficially owned, subject to applicable community property laws.

 

48

 

 

Our calculation of the percentage of beneficial ownership prior to this offering is based on shares of common stock outstanding as of July 31, 2020. We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person or persons, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person or persons (and only such person or persons) by reason of these acquisition rights.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

The following is a summary of the material provisions of our common stock, and our certificate of incorporation, and bylaws, all as in effect upon the date of this prospectus. You should also refer to our certificate of incorporation, and bylaws, which have been filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

 

Capital Stock

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value per share and 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, no par value per share to have such preferences as our board of directors may determine from time to time.   The Company’s shareholders have approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of authorized common stock to 150,000,000 shares. The Company expects to file an Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of Common Stock to 150,000,000 in July 2020. As of August 4. 2020, a total of 70,181,217 shares of common stock and no shares of Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.

 

Common Stock

 

The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held. The affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast at a meeting which commences with a lawful quorum is sufficient for approval of most matters upon which shareholders may or must vote, including the questions presented for approval or ratification at the Annual Meeting. However, an amendment of the articles of incorporation requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the total voting power for approval. Common shares do not carry cumulative voting rights, and holders of more than 50% of the common stock have the power to elect all directors and, as a practical matter, to control the Company. Holders of common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights, and the common stock may only be redeemed at our election.

Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities

 

Pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a law suit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. In certain cases, we may advance expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in any such proceeding as to which such person is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The prior discussion of indemnification in this paragraph is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Colorado.

 

Indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors or officers pursuant to the foregoing provisions. However, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

On April 20, 2020, we dismissed Pinnacle Accountancy Group of Utah (a DBA of Heaton & Company, PLLC) (“PAG”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to dismiss PAG as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was made by the Company’s board of directors.

 

The reports of PAG in the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that, the reports included an explanatory paragraph with respect to the uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and in the subsequent interim period through April 22, 2020, there were no reportable events, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

On April 22, 2020, the Board authorized management of the Company to engage Daszkal Bolton LLP (“Daszkal Bolton“) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. On April 22, 2020, the Company entered into an engagement agreement with Daszkal Bolton to provide audit services for the year ending December 31, 2020. Daszkal Bolton was the independent registered public accounting firm for Splash Beverage Group, Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and in the subsequent interim period through April 22, 2020, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with Daszkal Bolton regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction either completed or proposed or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided that Daszkal Bolton concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement between the Company and its predecessor auditor as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or a reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

On December 13, 2019, Grant Thornton LLP, which was serving as the independent auditors of Splash Beverage Group, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2018 notified the Company that they would not stand for reappointment as independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2019.

 

Grant Thornton LLP’s audit report on Splash Beverage Group, Inc.’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except for the modification related to the going concern uncertainty.

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and in the subsequent interim period through September 30, 2019 there were (i) no disagreements, within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K , and the related instructions thereto, with Grant Thornton LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Grant Thornton LLP, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports, and (ii) no reportable events within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto, except material weaknesses in their internal control over financial reporting existed related to the limited resources and specialized skills of Company personnel during those periods resulting in the inadequate design of internal controls, including reconciliation controls, related to the accounting for certain transactions including but not limited to revenue recognition and intangible asset accounting.

 

The Company has provided Grant Thornton LLP with the disclosures stated above, and has requested Grant Thornton LLP to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements made by the Company and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree.

  we will cause to be delivered the common stock being sold on such closing date; and

 

  we will pay the Placement Agent their commissions.

 

Pursuant to an escrow agreement among us, the Placement Agent and (the “Escrow Agent”), as escrow agent, until at least               shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 625,000 shares of common stock are sold, all funds received in payment for securities sold in this offering will be required to be submitted by subscribers to a non-interest bearing escrow account with the Escrow Agent and will be held by the Escrow Agent for such account. There will be a minimum subscription of $             , which may be waived by Company. The Placement Agent and we shall require all investor checks for payment for the securities to be made payable to         . All subscription agreements and checks should be delivered to   , Attention:       . Failure to do so will result in checks being returned to the investor who submitted the check. The investors will have sole claim to the proceeds held in trust prior to the receipt of the minimum offering proceeds. The funds are held for the benefit of the investors until the minimum is reached. Prior to reaching the minimum claims may not be reached by creditors of the Company. If the Placement Agent does not sell at least shares of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock by the Termination Date, all funds will be returned to the investors in this offering by noon of the next business day after the termination of the offering without charge, interest or deduction. If this Offering is completed, then on the closing date, net proceeds will be delivered to us and we will issue the common stocks to purchasers. Unless purchasers instruct us otherwise, we will deliver the common stocks electronically upon receipt of purchaser funds to the accounts of those purchasers who hold accounts at the Placement Agent, or elsewhere, as specified by the purchaser, as soon as practical upon the closing of the Offering. Alternately, purchasers who do not carry an account at the Placement Agent may request that the shares be held in book-entry at the Company’s transfer agent, or may be issued in book-entry at the Company’s transfer agent and subsequently delivered electronically to the purchasers’ respective brokerage account upon request of the purchasers.

 

We have agreed to pay the Placement Agents a fee of (i) cash equal to        percent of the aggregate purchase price of the shares of common stock sold in this offering and (ii) warrants to purchase a number of Shares of our common stock equal to    % of the shares sold in this offering at a purchase price per share equal to       % of the public offering price.

We may sell shares in one or more closings, provided that we sell a minimum of               shares and warrants to purchase                 shares at our initial closing and do not sell more than an aggregate of                shares and warrants to purchase                                   shares in this offering. Effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part will not be requested and no investor funds will be accepted until indications of interest have been received for at least the Minimum Offering Amount. Confirmations and final prospectuses will be distributed to all investors at the time of pricing, informing investors of the closing date. No investor funds will be accepted prior to effectiveness of the registration statement. After the registration statement is declared effective and prior to the closing date, all investor funds will be placed promptly, and in any event no later than noon Eastern Standard Time of the next business day following receipt, in escrow with the Escrow Agent in an escrow account established for the benefit of the investors. Prior to the initial closing date, the Escrow Agent will advise us whether the investors have deposited the Minimum Offering Amount in the escrow account with the Escrow Agent. If the Minimum Offering Amount has been deposited and the other closing conditions have been not, the Company’s transfer agent will deposit with The Depository Trust Company the securities to be credited to the respective accounts of the investors. Investor funds will be collected by the Company through the facilities of the Escrow Agent on the scheduled closing date. In the event that Minimum Offering Amount is not received by 120 days after the effective date of the registration statement, unless extended by 60 days by the Placement Agent and us, or the other closing conditions have not been satisfied, all funds deposited in the escrow account will promptly be returned in full without interest as deduction. Any investors in such additional closings will need to place their funds with the Escrow Agent prior to such Closings.

 

Under the Placement Agent Agreement, we have agreed to pay. We will reimburse the Placement Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the performance of its services under the placement agent agreement not to exceed $                     .

 

The following table shows the public offering price, placement agent cash fees, maximum expense allowance and proceeds before expenses to us.

 

    Per Common Share     Minimum Offering Amount     Maximum Offering Amount  
Public offering price   $                   $                  $             
Placement Agent cash fee   $       $       $    
Proceeds, before expenses, to us   $       $       $    

 

Because there cannot be any assurance that Maximum Offering Amount will be sold in this offering, the actual total offering commissions, if any, are not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the maximum amount set forth above.

 

Our obligations to issue and sell the shares of common stock to the purchasers is subject to the conditions set forth in the subscription agreement, which may be waived by us at our discretion. A purchaser’s obligation to purchase the shares of common stock is subject to the conditions set forth in the subscription agreement as well, which may also be waived.

 

We estimate the total offering expenses in this offering that will be payable by us, excluding the placement agents’ fees, will be approximately $                        which include legal, accounting and printing costs, various other fees and reimbursement of the placement agent’s expenses.

 

The foregoing does not purport to be a complete statement of the terms and conditions of the placement agent agreement and the subscription agreement. A copy of the placement agent agreement and the form of subscription agreement with investors are included as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

The Placement Agent may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by it and any profit realized on the resale of the securities sold by it while acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. As an underwriter, the Placement Agent would be required to comply with the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M under the Exchange Act. These rules and regulations may limit the timing of purchases and sales of our securities by the Placement Agent acting as principal. Under these rules and regulations, the Placement Agent:

 

  may not engage in any stabilization activity in connection with our securities; and
     
  may not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities, other than as permitted under the Exchange Act, until it has completed its participation in the distribution.

 

Placement Agent’s Warrants 

 

We have agreed to issue to the Placement Agent warrants, or the Placement Agents’ warrants, to purchase up to a total of up to 8% of the shares of common stock sold in this offering (             shares assuming the sale of the Minimum Offering Amount, and            shares assuming the sale of the Maximum Offering Amount). The warrants are exercisable at a per share price equal to $            , at any time, and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the five-year period commencing six months from the effective date of the registration statement, which period shall not extend further than five years from the effective date of the offering in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(G). The warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(g)(1) of FINRA. The Placement Agent (or permitted assignees under Rule 5110(g)(1)) will not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate these warrants or the securities underlying these warrants, nor will they engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the warrants or the underlying securities for a period of 180 days from the effective date of the offering. We will bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the securities issuable on exercise of the warrants other than commissions incurred and payable by the holders. The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, extraordinary cash dividend or our recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrant exercise price or underlying shares will not be adjusted for issuances of shares of common stock at a price below the warrant exercise price.

 

Lock-Up Agreements

 

We and each of our officers, directors, and all existing stockholders agree not to offer, issue, sell, contract to sell, encumber, grant any option for the sale of or otherwise dispose of any shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock for a period of 12 months after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part without the prior written consent of the placement agent.

 

The placement agent may in its sole discretion and at any time without notice release some or all of the shares subject to lock-up agreements prior to the expiration of the lock-up period. When determining whether or not to release shares from the lock-up agreements, the placement agent will consider, among other factors, the security holder’s reasons for requesting the release, the number of shares for which the release is being requested and market conditions at the time.

 

Price Stabilization

 

The Placement Agent will be required to comply with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M under the Exchange Act. These rules and regulations may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of capital stock by the Placement Agent acting as principal. Under these rules and regulations, the Placement Agent:

 

  may not engage in any stabilization activity in connection with our securities; and

 

  may not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities, other than as permitted under the Exchange Act, until it has completed its participation in the distribution.

 

55

 

 

Determination of Offering Price

 

The public offering price of the shares and warrants to purchase the shares we are offering was determined by us in consultation with the Placement Agent based on discussions with potential investors in light of the history and prospects of our company, the stage of development of our business, our business plans for the future and the extent to which they have been implemented, an assessment of our management, the public stock price for similar companies, general conditions of the securities markets at the time of the Offering and such other factors as were deemed relevant.

   

Electronic Offer, Sale and Distribution of Securities.

 

A prospectus in electronic format may be delivered to potential investors by the Placement Agent. The prospectus in electronic format will be identical to the paper version of such prospectus. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on the Placement Agent’s website and any information contained in any other website maintained by the Placement Agent is not part of the prospectus or the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part.

 

Indemnification

 

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriter against liabilities relating to the Offering arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and to contribute to payments that the placement agent may be required to make for these liabilities.

 

Offer restrictions outside the United States

 

Other than in the United States, no action has been taken by us or the Placement Agent that would permit a public offering of the securities offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. The securities offered by this prospectus may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, nor may this prospectus or any other offering material or advertisements in connection with the offer and sale of any such securities be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of that jurisdiction. Persons into whose possession this prospectus comes are advised to inform themselves about and to observe any restrictions relating to the offering and the distribution of this prospectus. This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or a solicitation is unlawful.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

Board of Directors and Shareholders

Splash Beverage Group, Inc. (formerly Canfield Medical Supply, Inc.)

 

Opinion on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Splash Beverage Group, Inc. (a Colorado corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in deficiency in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $3.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. This condition, along with other matters as set forth in Note 3, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

  

Note 1 – Business Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Splash Beverage Group (“SBG”), f/k/a Canfield Medical Supply, Inc. (the “CMS”), was incorporated in the State of Ohio on September 3, 1992, and changed domicile to Colorado on April 18, 2012. CMS is in the business of home health services, primarily the selling of durable medical equipment and medical supplies to the public, nursing homes, hospitals and other end users.

 

On December 31, 2019, CMS entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with SBG Acquisition Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Nevada Corporation wholly-owned by CMS, and Splash Beverage Group, Inc. a Nevada corporation (“Splash”) pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Splash (the “Merger”) with Splash as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMS. The Merger was consummated on March 31, 2020.

 

As the owners and management of Splash have voting and operating control of CMS following the Merger, the Merger transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition (that is with Splash as the acquiring entity), followed by a recapitalization.

 

As part of the recapitalization, previously issued shares of SBG preferred stock have been reflected as shares of common stock that were received in the Merger. These common shares have been retrospectively presented as outstanding for all periods.

 

Splash specializes in the manufacturing, distribution, and sales & marketing of various beverages across multiple channels. Splash operates in both the non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverage segments. Additionally, Splash operates its own vertically integrated B-to-B and B-to-C e-commerce distribution platform called Qplash, further expanding its distribution abilities and visibility.

 

On July 2, 2020, CMS received a Certificate of Good Standing from the State of Colorado. This certificate allowed us to change our name from Canfield Medical Supply, Inc. to Splash Beverage Group, Inc. a Colorado company. On July 31, 2020, we received approval from FINRA to change the Company’s name from Canfield Medical Supply, Inc. to Splash Beverage Group, Inc.

 

These financial statements represent the operations of SBG and do not include the operations of CMS.

 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Splash and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Splash International Holdings, LLC, Splash Beverage Holdings, LLC and Splash Mex SA de CV. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation. 

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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.

 

Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Cash Balance

We consider all highly liquid securities with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We had no cash equivalents at December 31, 2019. Our cash in bank deposit accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits of $250,000. Our bank deposit accounts in Mexico are uninsured.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts and are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with clients and other factors. We establish provisions for losses on accounts receivable on the basis of loss experience, known and inherent risk in the account balance, and current economic conditions.  At December 31, 2019 and 2018, our accounts receivable amounts are reflected net of allowances of $11,430 and $0, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, accounted for using the weighted average cost method. The inventory balances at December 31, 2019 and 2018 consisted of finished goods held for distribution. The cost elements in inventory consist of purchase of products, transportation, and warehousing. Inventory valuation is impacted by excess or inventory near expiration based on management’s estimates for excess or inventory near expiration based on management’s estimates of forecast turnover of inventories on hand and under contract. A significant change in the timing or level of demand for certain products as compared to forecast amounts may result in recording expense for excess or expired inventory in the future. The costs for excess inventory are included in cost of goods sold and have historically been adequate to provide for losses on inventory. We manage inventory levels and purchase commitments in an effort to maximize utilization of inventory on hand and under commitments.

 

Property and Equipment

We record property and equipment at cost when purchased. Depreciation is recorded for property, equipment, and software using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of assets, which range from 3-10 years. Company management reviews the recoverability of all long-lived assets, including the related useful lives, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset might not be recoverable.

 

Depreciation expense totaled $19,781 and $7,257 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Property and equipment as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 consisted of the following:

 

   2019   2018 
Property and equipment, at cost  $88,758   $76,205 
Accumulated depreciation   (51,029)   (41,692)
Property and equipment, net  $37,729   $34,513 

  

Licensing Agreements

We capitalize the costs for our licensing agreements with ABG TapouT, LLC and Salt Tequila USA, LLC, which are amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreements.

 

The initial amount of the TapouT agreement as entered into by a related party prior to the Company’s assumption in 2013 was $4,000,000 to be paid over several years pursuant to a guaranteed minimum royalty agreement. Royalty costs incurred under the agreements, guaranteed minimum royalty amounts, are expensed as incurred. See Notes 5 and 13 for further information.

 

We have not made any payments to Salt Tequila USA, LLC under the licensing agreement due to the immaterial nature of our sales from the brand. See Note 10 for further information.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1-Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded instruments and listed equities.

 

Level 2-Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (e.g., quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active).

 

Level 3-Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

 

The liabilities and indebtedness presented on the consolidated financial statements approximate fair values at December 31, 2019 and 2018, consistent with recent negotiations of notes payable and due to the short duration of maturities.

 

Convertible Instruments

U.S. GAAP requires the bifurcation of certain conversion rights contained in convertible indebtedness and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. This criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as that term is described under applicable U.S. GAAP.

 

When bifurcation is required, the embedded conversion options are bifurcated from the convertible note, resulting in the recognition of discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.  Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.

Convertible Instruments, continued

 

With respect to convertible preferred stock, we record a dividend for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred securities based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the preferred shares.

 

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance sets forth a five-step model which depicts the recognition of revenue in an amount that reflects what we expect to receive in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to customers.

 

We recognize revenue when our performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. Product sales occur once control of our products is transferred upon delivery to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods and is presented net of provisions for customer returns and allowances. The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize varies with changes in customer incentives we offer to our customers and their customers. Sales taxes and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.

 

Distribution expenses to transport our products, where applicable, and warehousing expense after manufacture are accounted for within operating expenses.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold include the costs of products, packaging, transportation, warehousing, and costs associated with valuation allowances for expired, damaged or impaired inventory.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation” and ASU 2018-07, “Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. Under the fair value recognition provisions, cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period, which is generally the option vesting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options.

 

Income Taxes

We use the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, “Income Taxes”.  Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse.  We record a valuation allowance when it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

 

Company management assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon its evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date.  In accordance with ASC 740-10, for those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, our policy is to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.

Income Taxes, continued

For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the financial statements. Company management has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

Advertising

We conduct advertising for the promotion of our products. In accordance with ASC 720-35, advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred; such amounts aggregated to $4,767 and $8,148 during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

Related Parties

We are indebted to certain members of our Board of Directors as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. Transactions between the Company and its Board members are summarized in Notes 4 and 9.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606). This ASU supersedes the previous revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605—Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle within Topic 606 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received for those goods or services. Transition methods under ASU 2014-09 must be through either (i) retrospective application to each prior reporting period presented, or (ii) retrospective application with a cumulative effect adjustment at the date of initial application.

 

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all subsequent amendments to the ASU (collectively, “ASC 606”), using the retrospective application with a cumulative effect adjustment at the date of initial application, which (i) creates a single framework for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers that fall within its scope and (ii) revises when it is appropriate to recognize a gain (loss) from the transfer of nonfinancial asset. The adoption did not have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842). We adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of this standard resulted in recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, for all leases with a term greater than 12 months. When available, we would use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value. However, our leases generally do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, our management estimates the incremental borrowing rate to discount lease payments based on the information at the lease commencement. The accounting for finance leases is substantially unchanged. Given the nature of our operation, the adoption of Topic 842 did not have a material impact on our balance sheet, statement of operations, or liquidity. Refer to Note 11 – Operating Lease Obligations for information regarding our adoption of Topic 842 and the Company’s undiscounted future lease payments and the timing of those payments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements, continued

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

 

Management’s Evaluation

Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.

 

Net Loss Per Share 

 

Basic net loss per common share (“Basic EPS’’) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net loss per common share (“Diluted EPS’’) reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other contracts to issue shares of common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on net loss per common share

Net loss applicable to common shareholders  $(5,135,731)  $(3,823,913)

Net loss per share (basic and diluted)  $(0.12)  $(0.11)

 

Note 3 – Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  Our business operations have not yet generated significant revenues, and we have sustained net losses of approximately $5.1 million and $3.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and have an accumulated deficit of approximately $35.6 million and $30.5 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In addition, we have current liabilities in excess of current assets of approximately $9.8 million at December 31, 2019. Further, we are in default on approximately $3.8 million of indebtedness, including accrued interest.

 

Our ability to continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future is dependent upon our ability to generate revenues and obtain sufficient long-term financing to meet current and future obligations and deploy such to produce profitable operating results. Management has evaluated these conditions and plans to raise capital as needed and to generate revenues to satisfy our capital needs. No assurance can be given that we will be successful in these efforts.

 

These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Under the terms of the agreement, we are required to pay ABG Tapout, LLC a 6% royalty on net sales (gross revenue less discounts and allowances). The agreement requires us to make varying guaranteed minimum royalty payments in the total amount of $3,500,000 for the initial period of 5 years beginning in 2012. The terms of the license agreement were subsequently amended on several occasions between 2012 and 2016. During April 2017, the license agreement was again amended, to extend the term through December 31, 2018 with a 5-year renewal option if $5 million of net sales were achieved in 2018. The amendment also stated we were required to make a $30,000 payment on the date of the executed amendment, monthly payments of $30,000 starting on April 30, 2017 through December 31, 2017, and monthly payments of $26,484 starting on January 31, 2018 through December 31, 2018.

Per the 2019 amendment, the Company is required to make twelve monthly payments of $39,000. See Note 13.

Note 6 – Income Taxes, continued

 

At December 31, 2019, our net operating loss carryforward for Federal income tax purposes was approximately $23.2 million, which will be available to offset future taxable income subject to potential annual limitations. If not used, these carry forwards will begin to expire in 2032, except for the current year net operating loss generated which can be carried forward indefinitely.

 

There was no income tax expense or benefit for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 due to the full valuation allowance recorded in each period.

 

The reconciliation of the income tax benefit is computed at the U.S. federal statutory rate as follows:

Series A and B Convertible Preferred Stock

As part of the merger consummated on March 31, 2020, all series A and B convertible preferred stock were converted to common stock. If the Company is unable to achieve the capital raise event as defined in the Merger Agreement by September 30, 2020, these shareholders can rescind their common shares back to preferred shares. Below are the new rights to these shareholders if they decide to rescind:

 

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock:

Rank. The Series A Preferred Stock shall rank, with respect to dividend rights and to rights upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (each, a “Liquidation Event”), (a) senior in preference and priority to the common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) and any other class or series of equity security established and designated by the Board of Directors the terms of which do not expressly provide that it ranks senior in preference or priority to or on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon a Liquidation Event (collectively, “Junior Securities”), (b) on parity, without preference or priority, with each other class or series of equity security established and designated by the Board of Directors the terms of which expressly provide that it ranks on parity, without preference or priority to, the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon a Liquidation Event (collectively, “Parity Securities”), and (c) junior in preference and priority to each other class or series of equity security established and designated by the Board of Directors the terms of which expressly provide that it ranks senior in preference or priority to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon a Liquidation Event (collectively, “Senior Securities”).

 

Dividends. Holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative cash dividends at an annual rate of eight percent (8%) of the Original Issue Price per share (equal to $.08 per share per annum). Dividends shall accrue on each share of Series A Preferred Stock from the date of issuance thereof, whether paid or not, and shall be cumulative and compounded annually.

 

Liquidation Preference. In the event of any Liquidation Event, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Securities by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Series A Original Issue Price (the “Liquidation Preference”), plus the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends thereon from the Original Issue Date through the date of liquidation. If upon any such Liquidation Event the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Parity Securities shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

 

Conversion. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):

 

Optional Conversion. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Series A Original Issue Price by the Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion. The Conversion Price at which shares of Common Stock shall be deliverable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof (the “Conversion Price”) shall initially be $1.28 per share. Such initial Conversion Price, and the rate at which shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to adjustment as provided below. All accrued and unpaid dividends may be converted by each holder of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock by first determining the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that could be purchased based on the Series A Original Issue Price then in effect and then determining the number of shares of Common Stock such additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into. By way of illustration only, if the accrued and unpaid dividends are equal to $100,000, then based on the Series A Original Issue Price of $1.00 and a Conversion Price of $0.85, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock would receive an additional 85,000 shares of Common Stock.

 

Automatic Conversion. Upon the consummation of an underwritten public offering of the Common Stock of the Company (“IPO”) , each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at a Conversion Price equal to the lesser of (i) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the consummation of the IPO or (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the public offering price of the Common Stock in the IPO. All accrued and unpaid dividends may be converted by each holder of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock by first determining the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock that could be purchased based on the Series A Original Issue Price then in effect and then determining the number of shares of Common Stock such additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into. By way of illustration only, if the accrued and unpaid dividends are equal to $100,000, then based on the Series A Original Issue Price of $1.00 and a Conversion Price of $0.85, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock would receive an additional 85,000 shares of Common Stock.

Rank. The Series B Preferred Stock shall rank, with respect to dividend rights and to rights upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (each, a “Liquidation Event”), (a) senior in preference and priority to the common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) and any other class or series of equity security established and designated by the Board of Directors the terms of which do not expressly provide that it ranks senior in preference or priority to or on parity with the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon a Liquidation Event (collectively, “Junior Securities”), (b) on parity, without preference or priority, with the Series A Preferred Stock and with each other class or series of equity security established and designated by the Board of Directors the terms of which expressly provide that it ranks on parity, without preference or priority to, the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon a Liquidation Event (collectively, “Parity Securities”), and (c) junior in preference and priority to each other class or series of equity security established and designated by the Board of Directors the terms of which expressly provide that it ranks senior in preference or priority to the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon a Liquidation Event (collectively, “Senior Securities”).

 

Dividends. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive cash dividends, when, as and if declared by the Board, out of any assets legally available therefor, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend on any other class of Preferred Stock, except for the Series A Preferred Stock which shall be paid at the same time as the Series B Preferred Stock is paid, and Common Stock of the Corporation at an annual rate of nine percent (9%) of the Original Issue Price per share (equal to $.09 per share per annum) payable out of legally available funds. Dividends shall accrue on each share of Series B Preferred Stock from the date of issuance thereof, whether paid or not, and shall be cumulative and compounded annually. Such dividends shall be payable on the first day of each January, April, July and October commencing with respect to each share of Series B Preferred Stock, on the first of such dates to occur after the issuance of such share (each such date a “Dividend Payment Date”) to the holders of record at the close of business on the fifteenth day of each December, March, June and September, respectively, subject to declaration of such dividends by the Board. All dividends paid with respect to shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be paid pro rata to the holders entitled thereto. Dividends, if paid, must be paid, on all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock contemporaneously. If any dividend shall not be paid on a Dividend Payment Date, for any reason, the right of the holders to receive such dividend shall not lapse or terminate but each such dividend shall accrue and be paid to such holders, subject to the conversion provisions below. No dividend shall be paid to the holders of any shares of Common Stock until all dividends, including accrued dividends, then owing to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock, shall have been paid in full.

 

Liquidation Preference. In the event of any Liquidation Event, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Securities by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Series B Original Issue Price (the “Liquidation Preference”), plus the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends thereon from the Original Issue Date through the date of liquidation. If upon any such Liquidation Event the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this Section , the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Parity Securities shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

 

Conversion. The holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the “Conversion Rights”):

 

Optional Conversion. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Series B Original Issue Price by the Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion. The Conversion Price at which shares of Common Stock shall be deliverable upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof (the “Conversion Price”) shall initially be $1.28 per share. Such initial Conversion Price, and the rate at which shares of Series B Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to adjustment as provided below. All accrued and unpaid dividends may be converted by each holder of Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock by first determining the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock that could be purchased based on the Series B Original Issue Price then in effect and then determining the number of shares of Common Stock such additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock are convertible into. By way of illustration only, if the accrued and unpaid dividends are equal to $100,000, then based on the Series B Original Issue Price of $1.50 and a Conversion Price of $1.28, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock would receive an additional 78,125 shares of Common Stock.

 

Automatic Conversion. Upon the consummation of an underwritten public offering of the Common Stock of the Company (“IPO”), each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into such number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at a Conversion Price equal to the lesser of (i) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the consummation of the IPO or (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the public offering price of the Common Stock in the IPO. All accrued and unpaid dividends may be converted by each holder of Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock by first determining the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock that could be purchased based on the Series B Original Issue Price then in effect and then determining the number of shares of Common Stock such additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock are convertible into. By way of illustration only, if the accrued and unpaid dividends are equal to $100,000, then based on the Series B Original Issue Price of $1.50 and a Conversion Price of $1.28, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock would receive an additional 78,125 shares of Common Stock.

On December 7, 2019, our Board of Directors granted 1,124,410 options to certain employees and consultants. None of these options were exercised at December 31, 2019. There are 1,124,410 options issued and outstanding under the Plan at December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the total number of options available for grant is 306,657.

Note 8 – Share-Based Payments, continued

 

Stock Plan, continued

We measure employee stock-based awards at the grant-date fair value and recognizes employee compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the fair value of our common stock, and for stock options, the expected life of the option, and expected stock price volatility and exercise price. We used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock option awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards. The expected life of stock options was estimated using the “simplified method,” which calculates the expected term as the midpoint between the weighted average time to vesting and the contractual maturity, we have limited historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and employment duration for its stock options grants. The simplified method is based on the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant. For stock price volatility, we use comparable public companies as a basis for its expected volatility to calculate the fair value of options granted. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury notes with a term approximating the expected life of the option. The estimation of the number of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company’s current estimates, such amounts are recognized as an adjustment in the period in which estimates are revised.

 

We recognized stock-based compensation expense of $265,589 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. There was no unrecognized compensation cost related to stock option awards at December 31, 2019.

 

A summary of information related to stock options for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

There are related party notes payable of $1,505,100 and $1,375,100 outstanding as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as discussed in Note 4.

 

Note 10 – Investment in Salt Tequila USA, LLC

 

On December 9, 2013, we entered into a marketing and distribution agreement with SALT Tequila USA, LLC (“SALT”) in Mexico for the manufacturing of our product line. The agreement was for a one-year term with an additional two-year renewal. On December 28, 2015, the agreement was extended through 2020. In the December 9, 2013 agreement, we received a 5% ownership interest in SALT, 12 months after the date of the agreement we received an additional 5% ownership interest in SALT, and 24 months after the date of the agreement we received an additional 5% interest, resulting in a total interest of 15% in SALT. We have not recorded the cost of the investment or our share of its results of operations as the amounts are considered immaterial.

 

SALT also has sold product to an unrelated international alcohol distributor, American Spirits Exchange, for preliminary market testing in 9 of 16 states that they distribute to, that are government-controlled alcohol resellers. In 2018 and 2019 we had no sales of SALT Tequila. On December 31, 2018, we created a Mexican subsidiary, Splash MEX SA DE CV (“Splash Mex”) for the exporting of SALT Tequila from Mexico to the USA, South and Central Americas. Splash Mex will also act as the manufacturing and distribution agent of TapouT in Central and South Americas. Applications for the appropriate licenses required for import and wholesale of alcohol in the USA have been completed for at the Federal and State levels. These licenses will permit direct alcohol sales to distributors and wholesalers thereby limiting the use of agents for importing SALT Tequila to the USA for distribution.

Merger with Canfield Medical Supply, Inc.

As previously described in Note 1, Splash entered into a Merger Agreement with CMS. Upon completion of the merger, the Splash shareholders collectively own, as a group, on a fully diluted basis approximately 85% of the combined company.

 

The Merger Agreement was consummated on March 31, 2020. As part of the merger, pursuant to a Promissory Note Conversion Agreement, all outstanding debt of Splash, except for $450,000 in principal, was converted in common shares of the combined entity. Under the Promissory Note Conversion Agreement, if the Company shall fail to raise $9,000,000 of additional capital no later than six months from the date of the Merger, then the holder may seek to rescind the Promissory Note Conversion Agreement, return the Note Conversion Shares and receive a replacement promissory note from the Company.

 

In addition, in connection with the Merger, pursuant to Preferred Stock Conversion Agreements, all Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, and accreted dividends of Splash were converted into common shares of the combined entity, and have been reflected as outstanding for all periods presented.

Alcohol License

Warrant Expiration

Subsequent to December 31, 2019, warrants to purchase 754,741 shares of our common stock have expired.

 

Mezzanine Equity

As part of the merger, dated March 31, 2020, we converted the majority of our debt into equity. As stated in the debt conversion agreements, each debt holder can convert their shares back to debt if we are not able to adequately raise $9,000,000 additional capital within six months of the date of the merger. As a result, these shares have been classified as mezzanine equity in the consolidated balance sheet on March 31, 2020.

 

Q1 2020 Notes Received

During the first quarter of 2020, we received $1.5 million from one of our shareholders to be used to finance the operations of the Company. As part of the merger, the entire $1.5 million was converted into mezzanine equity.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1 – Business Organization and Nature of Operations

  

Splash Beverage Group (“SBG”), f/k/a Canfield Medical Supply, Inc. (the “CMS”), was incorporated in the State of Ohio on September 3, 1992, and changed domicile to Colorado on April 18, 2012. CMS is in the business of home health services, primarily the selling of durable medical equipment and medical supplies to the public, nursing homes, hospitals and other end users.

 

On December 31, 2019, CMS entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with SBG Acquisition Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Nevada Corporation wholly-owned by CMS, and Splash Beverage Group, Inc. a Nevada corporation (“Splash”) pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Splash (the “Merger”) with Splash as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMS. The Merger was consummated on March 31, 2020.

 

As the owners and management of Splash have voting and operating control of CMS following the Merger, the Merger transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition (that is with Splash as the acquiring entity), followed by a recapitalization.

 

As part of the recapitalization, previously issued shares of SBG preferred stock have been reflected as shares of common stock that were received in the Merger. These common shares have been retrospectively presented as outstanding for all periods.

 

Splash specializes in the manufacturing, distribution, and sales & marketing of various beverages across multiple channels. Splash operates in both the non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverage segments. Additionally, Splash operates its own vertically integrated B-to-B and B-to-C e-commerce distribution platform called Qplash, further expanding its distribution abilities and visibility.

 

On July 2, 2020, CMS received a Certificate of Good Standing from the State of Colorado. This certificate allowed us to change our name from Canfield Medical Supply, Inc. to Splash Beverage Group, Inc. a Colorado company. On July 31, 2020, we received approval from FINRA to change the Company’s name from Canfield Medical Supply, Inc. to Splash Beverage Group, Inc.

 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Splash Beverage Group and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Holdings and Splash Mex, in addition to the accounts of the CMS from March 31, 2020, the merger consummation date. All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation. 

 

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by us without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 have been made.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our December 31, 2019 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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.

 

Cash Equivalents and Concentration of Cash Balance

We consider all highly liquid securities with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We had no cash equivalents at June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

 

Our cash in bank deposit accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits of $250,000. At June 30, 2020 we had no bank accounts over the federally insured limits. Our bank deposit accounts in Mexico are uninsured.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts and are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with clients and other factors. We establish provisions for losses on accounts receivable on the basis of loss experience, known and inherent risk in the account balance, and current economic conditions.  At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our accounts receivable amounts are reflected net of allowances of $359,657 and $11,430, respectively.

 

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, accounted for using the weighted average cost method. The inventory balances at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 consisted of finished goods held for distribution. The cost elements of inventory consist of purchase of products, transportation, and warehousing. We establish provisions for excess or inventory near expiration are based on management’s estimates of forecast turnover of inventories on hand and under contract. A significant change in the timing or level of demand for certain products as compared to forecast amounts may result in recording additional provisions for excess or expired inventory in the future. Provisions for excess inventory are included in cost of goods sold and have historically been adequate to provide for losses on inventory. We manage inventory levels and purchase commitments in an effort to maximize utilization of inventory on hand and under commitments.

 

Property and Equipment

We record property and equipment at cost when purchased. Depreciation is recorded for property, equipment, and software using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of assets, which range from 3-10 years. Company management reviews the recoverability of all long-lived assets, including the related useful lives, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset might not be recoverable.

 

Depreciation expense totaled $10,750 and   $1,806 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively. Depreciation expense totaled $13,045 and $4,711 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively. Property and equipment as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 consisted of the following:

 

   June 30,
2020
  December 31,
2019
Property and equipment, at cost   206,006    88,758 
Accumulated depreciation   (141,738)   (51,029)
Property and equipment, net   64,269    37,729 

 

Licensing Agreements

We capitalize the costs for our licensing agreements with ABG TapouT, LLC and Salt Tequila USA, LLC, which are amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreements.

 

The initial amount of the TapouT agreement as entered into by a related party prior to the Company’s assumption in 2013 was $4,000,000 to be paid over several years pursuant to a guaranteed minimum royalty agreement. Royalty costs incurred under the agreements, guaranteed minimum royalty amounts, are expensed as incurred.

 

We have not made any payments to Salt Tequila USA, LLC under the licensing agreement due to the immaterial level of our sales to date from the brand.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial Accounting Standards (“FASB”) guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

  Level 1 -  Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments whose value is based on quoted market prices such as exchange-traded instruments and listed equities.

 

  Level 2 -  Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly (e.g., quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities in active markets, or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active).

 

  Level 3 -  Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial instruments are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flows or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

 

The liabilities and indebtedness presented on the consolidated financial statements approximate fair values at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, consistent with recent negotiations of notes payable and due to the short duration of maturities.

 

Convertible Instruments

U.S. GAAP requires the bifurcation of certain conversion rights contained in convertible indebtedness and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. This criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as that term is described under applicable U.S. GAAP.

 

When bifurcation is required, the embedded conversion options are bifurcated from the convertible note, resulting in the recognition of discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note.  Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.

 

With respect to convertible preferred stock, we record a dividend for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred securities based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the preferred shares.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

 

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance sets forth a five-step model which depicts the recognition of revenue in an amount that reflects what we expect to receive in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to customers.

 

We recognize revenue when our performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the customer are satisfied. Product sales occur once control of our products is transferred upon delivery to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods and is presented net of provisions for customer returns and allowances. The amount of consideration we receive and revenue we recognize varies with changes in customer incentives we offer to our customers and their customers. Sales taxes and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.

 

Distribution expenses to transport our products, where applicable, and warehousing expense after manufacture are accounted for within operating expenses.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold include the costs of products, packaging, transportation, warehousing, and costs associated with valuation allowances for expired, damaged or impaired inventory.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”.  Under the fair value recognition provisions, cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period, which is generally the option vesting period.  We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options.  We early adopted ASU 2018-07, “Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which aligns accounting treatment for such awards to non-employees with the existing guidance on employee share-based compensation in ASC 718.

 

Income Taxes

We use the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, “Income Taxes”.  Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse.  We record a valuation allowance when it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

 

Company management assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon its evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date.  In accordance with ASC 740-10, for those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, our policy is to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.

 

For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the financial statements. Company management has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Net loss per share

The net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common outstanding. Warrants, stock options, and common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company's convertible debt or preferred stock (if any), are not included in the computation if the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Advertising

We conduct advertising for the promotion of our products. In accordance with ASC 720-35, advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred.

 

Related Parties

We are indebted to certain members of our Board of Directors at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Transactions between us and the Board members are summarized in Notes 4 and 8.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842). This ASU requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for most leases in its balance sheet.

 

We adopted the standard on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective method. The adoption of this standard resulted in recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, for all leases with a term greater than 12 months. When available, we would use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value. However, our leases generally do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, our management estimates the incremental borrowing rate to discount lease payments based on the information at the lease commencement. The accounting for finance leases is substantially unchanged. Given the nature of our operation, the adoption of Topic 842 did not have a material impact on our balance sheet, statement of income, or liquidity. Refer to Note 10 – Operating Lease Obligations for information regarding our adoption of Topic 842 and the Company’s undiscounted future lease payments and the timing of those payments.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

 

Note 3 – Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  Our business operations have not yet generated significant revenues, and we have sustained net losses of approximately $3.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and have an accumulated deficit of approximately $40.5 million at June 30, 2020. In addition, we have current liabilities in excess of current assets of approximately $2.4 million at June 30, 2020. Further, we are in default on approximately $0.6 million of indebtedness, including accrued interest.

 

Our ability to continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future is dependent upon our ability to generate revenues and obtain sufficient long-term financing to meet current and future obligations and deploy such to produce profitable operating results. Management has evaluated these conditions and plans to raise capital as needed and to generate revenues to satisfy our capital needs. No assurance can be given that we will be successful in these efforts.

 

These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Pursuant to the terms of the conversion agreements, these investors have the right to rescind the common shares received and receive replacement notes payable if we fail to raise $9 million in a secondary initial public offering by September 30, 2020. As a result, these shares are classified as mezzanine equity in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Dividends. Holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative cash dividends at an annual rate of eight percent (8%) of the Original Issue Price per share (equal to $.08 per share per annum).

If upon any such Liquidation Event the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled under this, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Parity Securities shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full.

Note 7 – Share-Based Payments

 

Warrant Issuance-GMA Consulting Services

We issued 1,362,922 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at $0.007 per share as part of our consulting agreement with GMA, at December 31, 2019, the weighted average life of the outstanding warrants is 3.75 years.

 

The warrants entitle the holder to purchase one share per warrant of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.01 per share during the five-year period commencing on October 2, 2018, or, if greater, the number of common shares with a market value equivalent to two percent of the enterprise value of the Company at an exercise price of $0.008 per share.

 

As an incentive for GMA to convert their debt and accrued interest into shares of common stock, we retired the original 1,362,922 warrants and issued 2,725,844 pre-merger new warrants to purchase shares of our common stock at $0.18 per share. These warrants have a 3-year term.

 

Stock Plan

We have adopted the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan for SBG (the “Plan”), which provides for the grant of common stock and stock options to employees. We have reserved 4,088,765 shares for issuance under the Plan. The option exercise price generally may not be less than the underlying stock’s fair market value at the date of the grant and generally have a term of ten years. On December 31, 2018, the sole option holder at the time, our CEO, exercised his options to purchase 2,657,698 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.12 per share, totaling $312,000, which total purchase price was paid by the cancelation of the equivalent amount of debt owed by us to the CEO. On December 7, 2019, our Board of Directors granted 1,124,410 options to certain employees and consultants. None of these options were exercised at June 30, 2020. There are 1,124,410 options issued and outstanding under the Plan at June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the total number of options available for grant is 306,657.

 

We measure employee stock-based awards at the grant-date fair value and recognizes employee compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the fair value of our common stock, and for stock options, the expected life of the option, and expected stock price volatility and exercise price. We used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value its stock option awards. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock- based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards. The expected life of stock options was estimated using the “simplified method,” which calculates the expected term as the midpoint between the weighted average time to vesting and the contractual maturity, we have limited historical information to develop reasonable expectations about future exercise patterns and employment duration for its stock options grants. The simplified method is based on the average of the vesting tranches and the contractual life of each grant. For stock price volatility, we use comparable public companies as a basis for its expected volatility to calculate the fair value of options granted. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury notes with a term approximating the expected life of the option. The estimation of the number of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company’s current estimates, such amounts are recognized as an adjustment in the period in which estimates are revised.

 

We recognized stock-based compensation expense of $265,589 for the year ended December 31, 2019. There was no unrecognized compensation cost related to stock option awards at June 30, 2020.

 

Concurrently with the consummation of the Merger, options to purchase 825,000 SBC shares were converted to options to purchase 1,124,410 Splash Beverage Group, Inc. [Formerly Canfield Medical Supply, Inc.] shares.

Note 9 – Investment in Salt Tequila USA, LLC

 

On December 9, 2013, we entered into a marketing and distribution agreement with SALT Tequila USA, LLC (“SALT”) in Mexico for the manufacturing of our product line. The agreement was for a one-year term with an additional two-year renewal. On December 28, 2015, the agreement was extended through 2020. In the December 9, 2013 agreement, we received a 5% ownership interest in SALT, 12 months after the date of the agreement we received an additional 5% ownership interest in SALT, and 24 months after the date of the agreement we received an additional 5% interest, resulting in a total interest of 15% in SALT. We have not recorded the cost of the investment or our share of its results of operations as the amounts are considered immaterial.

 

SALT also has sold product to an unrelated international alcohol distributor, American Spirits Exchange, for preliminary market testing in 9 of 16 states that they distribute to, that are government-controlled alcohol resellers. In 2019 we had no sales for SALT Tequila. On December 31, 2018, we created a Mexican subsidiary, Splash MEX SA DE CV (“Splash Mex”) for the exporting of SALT Tequila from Mexico to the USA, South and Central Americas. Splash Mex will also act as the manufacturing and distribution agent of TapouT in Central and South Americas. Applications for the appropriate licenses required for import and wholesale of alcohol in the USA have been completed for at the Federal and State levels. These licenses will permit direct alcohol sales to distributors and wholesalers thereby limiting the use of agents for importing SALT Tequila to the USA for distribution.

 

On March 26, 2020, we entered into a new amended stock sale and purchase agreement. The agreement is for $1,000,000 to be paid in 4 tranches of $250,000 and entitles us to additional equity interest in Salt Tequila USA, LLC as follows:

 

  Tranche 1 – 7.5%

 

  Tranche 2 – 5.0%

 

  Tranche 3 – 5.0%

 

  Tranche 4 – 5.0%

 

Once all tranches are paid-out we will have a total equity stake of 37.5% of Salt Tequila USA, LLC.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Canfield Medical Supply, Inc.

Canfield, OH

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Canfield Medical Supply, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Consideration of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses and has working capital and stockholders' equity deficits, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding these matters are described in Note 8. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

CANFIELD MEDICAL SUPPLY, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Canfield Medical Supply, Inc. (the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Ohio on September 3, 1992, and changed domicile to Colorado on April 18, 2012. The Company is in the business of home health services, primarily the selling of durable medical equipment and medical supplies to the public, nursing homes, hospitals and other end users.

 

Effective June 21, 2019 WesBev LLC, a Nevada limited liability company ("WesBev"), acquired 8,000,000 shares of common stock from Michael J. West, a founder, director and former principal shareholder of the Company, consisting of approximately 69.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at the time of the purchase. As part of his agreement with WesBev, Mr. West undertook to appoint or cause the appointment of up to three persons nominated by WesBev to the board of directors of the Company. Effective June 21, 2019 the Company sold 336,000 shares of common stock to WesBev for $100,000. Following these stock purchases WesBev beneficially owns 8,336,000 shares, or approximately 71% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company and may be deemed to be in control of the registrant.

 

On December 31, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with SBG Acquisition Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Nevada Corporation wholly-owned by the Company, and Splash Beverage Group, Inc. a Nevada corporation (“Splash”) pursuant to which Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Splash (the “Merger”) with Splash as the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The closing of the Merger shall take place on the first business day following satisfaction or waiver of the closing terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

 

Completion of the Merger is subject to customary closing terms and conditions including, among others: 

 

  the adoption of the Merger Agreement by Splash’s stockholders;
  the representations and warranties of the respective parties being true and correct in all material respects as of the closing day of the Merger;
  since June 1, 2019 through the closing of the Merger, Splash shall have raised from the aggregate sale of its equity securities not less than $1,500,000 which shall be available or was utilized for inventory purchases, reductions to accounts payable and for other general working capital purposes;
  on the closing of the Merger liabilities of Splash debt shall not exceed $500,000;
  Splash shall have entered into note conversion agreements with substantially all holders of its debt pursuant to which such debt is converted into shares Splash’s common stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share;
  designated shareholders of Splash shall have entered into lock-up/leak out agreements by which they will agree to restrict post-Merger sales of Canfield securities for a period of up to one year following the Merger, as more particularly described within the Merger Agreement;
  the Company and Michael West, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, and a current director, shall have entered into a Business Transfer and Indemnity Agreement  pursuant to which all operations, assets and liabilities of the Company’s home health services business shall be transferred and conveyed to Mr. West or an entity designated by Mr. West in exchange for his indemnifying the Company for certain liabilities and claims;
  the Company shall not have any liabilities exceeding $50,000 in the aggregate;
  the Company’s directors and officers shall have tendered their resignations;
  Robert Nistico, Chief Executive Officer of Splash, shall be appointed as chief executive officer of the Company; and
  the composition of the Company’s board of directors shall be as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

 

As of the date of this annual report, all conditions to closing have been completed, except for the fourth, and the seventh through eleventh bulleted conditions listed above. The items listed in the seventh, ninth and tenth bulleted conditions above have been finalized, but will not be delivered until the closing date.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The majority of the Company’s revenues are received from Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance companies. As such, the Company records revenues at allowable amounts, net of estimated allowances and discounts based on contracted prices and historical collection rates. The Company reviews accounts receivable periodically for collectability and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts and records bad debt expense when deemed necessary. At December 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company has determined that no allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated under straight line methods over each item's estimated useful life.

 

Inventory

 

The Company carries inventory of durable medical equipment and medical supplies for resale.  Inventory is accounted for on a first–in first-out basis. Inventory consists of the following:

 

   December 31, 2019  December 31, 2018
Durable medical equipment  $22,759   $33,570 
Medical supplies   249    1,076 
Enteral   7,551    7,049 
TOTALS  $30,559   $41,695 

 

Revenue recognition

 

It is the Company’s policy that revenues from product sales is recognized in accordance with ASC 606 "Revenue Recognition."  Five basic steps must be followed before revenue can be recognized; (1) Identifying the contract(s) with a customer that creates enforceable rights and obligations; (2) Identifying the performance obligations in the contract, such as promising to transfer goods or services to a customer; (3) Determining the transaction price, meaning the amount of consideration in a contract to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer; (4) Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, which requires the company to allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation on the basis of the relative standalone selling prices of each distinct good or services promised in the contract; and (5) Recognizing revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer.  The amount of revenue recognized is the amount allocated to the satisfied performance obligation.  For sales of our Company products, a purchase arrangement is evidenced by a written order, with delivery considered as made after physical customer acceptance. Although rare, defective products may be returned, with other return issues considered on a case by case basis. Services such as periodic scheduled deliveries are contracted in writing, and generally billed monthly. Any service revenue earned by the Company for services such as safety and set up consulting or claims processing is recorded after the service is performed. Rental of durable home medical equipment is evidenced by written contract, with revenue recognized when rent is earned.

CANFIELD MEDICAL SUPPLY, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2019 and 2018

 

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):

 

The Company’s primary source of revenue is reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance companies for the procurement and sale of medical equipment and supplies to patients. The amount of revenue earned from each classification as a percent of total revenues is as follows:

 

   December 31,
   2019  2018
Medicare   19%   29%
Medicaid   7%   9%
Private pay/private insurance   73%   58%
Other   1%   4%
Total   100%   100%

 

 

Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company had advertising costs during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 of $13,453 and $18,129, respectively.

 

Income Tax

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740. Under ASC 740, deferred taxes are provided for using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

 Through February 2012, the Company was an S-Corporation for income tax purposes, and therefore a pass-through entity paying no income tax at the corporate level. The Company had no material loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2011. Included in the Company’s accumulated deficit from February 2012 forward is approximately $99,000 in undistributed S-Corporation losses. At December 31, 2019 and 2018 the Company had net operating loss carryforwards (NOL’s) of approximately $462,000 and $144,000 respectively, which may be applied against future taxable income. However, if certain substantial changes in the Company’s ownership should occur, there could be an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that can be utilized. The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the future earnings of the Company, and other future events, the effects of which cannot be determined. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the loss carryforwards, the Company has established a valuation allowance equal to the tax effect (2019 and 2018: 21% federal and 5% state) of the loss carryforwards of approximately $120,000 and $37,440 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and therefore, no deferred tax asset has been recognized for the loss carryforwards. The change in valuation allowance is approximately $82,560 and ($19,760) for the periods ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The tax effect of remaining NOL’s and resulting deferred tax assets of $120,000 remain fully reserved by valuation allowance, due to continued uncertainty as to their utilization.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):

 

Net Income (Loss) per Share

 

Basic net income per common share ("Basic EPS'') excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share ("Diluted EPS'') reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other contracts to issue shares of common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on net income per common share.

Financial Instruments

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, as reported in the accompanying balance sheets, approximates fair value.

 

Concentrations

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk include cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents at well-known financial institutions, where at times, such balances may exceed FDIC insurance limits.

 

The Company receives a significant amount of its revenues in reimbursements from Medicare and Medicaid through competitive bidding processes. There is no guarantee that the Company will be selected as a winning contract supplier under future bidding rounds.

CANFIELD MEDICAL SUPPLY, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2019 and 2018 

 

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued):

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with ASC 350, the Company regularly reviews the carrying value of intangible and other long-lived assets for the existence of facts or circumstances, both internally and externally, that suggest impairment. If impairment testing indicates a lack of recoverability, an impairment loss is recognized by the Company if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. No impairment was noted during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

Products and Services, Geographic Areas and Major Customers

 

The Company’s business of medical supply sales constitutes one operating segment. All revenues each year were domestic and to external customers.

 

Leases

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, “Lease (Topic 842),” a new lease standard requiring lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for most leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset (“ROU” asset) representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this standard effective January 1, 2019. The Company elected the optional transition method that permits adoption of the new standard prospectively, as of the effective date, without adjusting comparative periods presented. See Note 6 for disclosure required by ASC 842.

 

 

NOTE 2.  EQUIPMENT

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and consist of the following:

 

   December 31,
   2019  2018
Office equipment  $2,934   $2,934 
Vehicles   70,208    70,208 
Wheelchair rental pool   66,191    78,392 
Total property and equipment   139,333    151,534 
Accumulated depreciation   (95,488)   (92,907)
Net property and equipment  $43,845   $58,627 

  

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based upon estimated useful lives as follows:

 

Office equipment 7 years
Vehicles 5 years
Wheelchair rental pool 13 months

  

Depreciation for 2019 and 2018 was $63,758 and $62,825, respectively.

 

The wheelchair rental pool consists of wheelchairs rented to customers over the shorter of the 13 month use period as mandated by Medicare and Medicaid, or the period over which the customer requires use of a wheelchair. At the end of the use period, the chair is either returned to the pool to be rented to another customer, or title of the chair is transferred to the customer.

 

 

NOTE 3.  LINE OF CREDIT

 

At December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company owed a bank $69,534 and $66,181, respectively, under a revolving line of credit. The line of credit is secured by all Company assets, is capped at $100,000, is due on demand, and bears interest at variable rates approximating 7% on average. Interest expense under the note totaled $5,410 and $4,327 during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.  During 2019 and 2018, the Company made net borrowings $3,353 and $3,803, respectively.

NOTE 7.  LEASE COMMITMENTS

 

The Company rents office space under a non-cancellable lease through September 2020 with monthly payments of approximately $2,292. Pursuant to ASC 842, an operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and liability were recognized at January 1, 2019 based on the present value of lease payments over the remaining lease term. The ROU asset represents the Company’s right to use the underlying office space asset for the lease term, and the lease liability represents the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Generally, the implicit rate of interest in arrangements is not readily determinable and the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. The Company recognized $27,504 in lease expense during each of the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

Remaining lease term at December 31, 2019 (in months)   9 
Discount rate   5%

 

 

   Year Ended December 31, 2019
Operating lease expense  $27,504 
Cash paid for amounts included in measurement of lease liability  $27,504 

 

The supplemental balance sheet information related to leases for the period is as follows:

 Right-of-Use Asset    
 ROU Asset, January 1, 2019  $43,677 
 Amortization of ROU Asset   (24,959)
 ROU Asset, December 31, 2019  $18,718 

 

 Maturities of the Company’s lease liabilities are as follows:

 Year Ending  Payments
 2020   $20,628 
 Less: Imputed interest/present value discount    (1,910)
 Present value of lease liability at December 31, 2019   $18,718 

 

 

NOTE 8.  GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has suffered losses from operations and has working capital and stockholders’ equity deficits. In all likelihood, the Company will be required to make significant future expenditures in connection with marketing efforts along with general administrative expenses. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company may raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities, through an offering of debt securities, or through borrowings from financial institutions or related parties. By doing so, the Company hopes to generate sufficient capital to execute its business plan of selling medical supplies on an ongoing basis. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statement gives effect to the Merger Agreement transaction (the "Merger Agreement") between Canfield Medical Supply, Inc. (“CMS”) and Splash Beverage Group, Inc. ("SBG"). In the Merger Agreement, CMS issued 54,677,690 shares of its common stock to the shareholders of SBG in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding common shares of SBG, which resulted in SBG becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMS. CMS also issued warrants to acquire 6,024,174 shares of its common stock to existing SBG warrant holders. As owners and management of SBG have voting and operating control of CMS following the Merger Agreement, the transaction is accounted for as a reverse acquisition.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements presented below are prepared by applying the acquisition method of accounting to a business combination that is a reverse acquisition. Pro forma adjustments which give effect to certain transactions occurring as a direct result of the Merger Agreement are described in the accompanying unaudited notes presented on the following page. The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 presents the combined results of operations as if the Reverse Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2019.

ITEM 13. OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION.

 

The following table sets forth the costs and expenses (other than placement agent fees) payable in connection with the sale of the shares of common stock being registered. The registrant will pay all expenses of the registration and sale of the shares of common stock, other than selling commissions and fees, stock transfer taxes and fees and expenses, if any, of counsel or other advisors to the selling stockholders. All of the amounts shown are estimates except the SEC registration fee.

 

The following table sets forth an itemization of all estimated expenses, all of which we will pay, in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered:

 

Nature of Expense:    Amount  
SEC Registration Fee   $      2,133.12  
FINRA filing fee     *
Accounting fees and expenses   $   *
Legal fees and expenses   $   *
Transfer agent’s fees and expenses   $   *
Printing and related fees   $   *
Miscellaneous   $   *
Total   $    

 

 

* To be filed by amendment.

 

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

 

Pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a law suit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. In certain cases, we may advance expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in any such proceeding as to which such person is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The prior discussion of indemnification in this paragraph is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Colorado.

 

Indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors or officers pursuant to the foregoing provisions. However, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

 

In the six-months ended June 30, 2020, we sold 249,839 shares of our company stock which all are unregistered.

 

On August 13 2020 (the “Effective Date”), Splash Beverage Group, Inc. (formerly known as Canfield Medical Supply, Inc.” and referred to herein as the “Company”) executed a Subscription Agreement with one accredited investor (the “Subscription Agreement”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement the Company received gross proceeds of $550,000 and issued the investor 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrant (the “Warrant”)to purchase 250,000 shares of Effective Date. If after six months from the Effective Date there is no effective registration statement registering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant the warrant may be exercised on a cashless basis as set forth in the Warrant.

In connection with the foregoing, the Company relied upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for transactions not involving a public offering

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

 

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

  (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
     
  (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price, set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
     
  (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

provided, however, that the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1) (ii) and (a)(1) (iii) above may be contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

 

  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
     
  (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
     
  (4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

 

  (i) each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

II-2

 

 

  (ii) each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) (§230.415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x)) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in this registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of this registration statement relating to the securities in this registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of this registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into this registration statement or prospectus that is part of this registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in this registration statement or prospectus that was part of this registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date;

 

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
