Independent Auditors’ Report

 

 

To the Board of Directors of
Splash Beverage Group, Inc.
Fort Lauderdale, Florida

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Splash Beverage Group, Inc. (the “Company”) at December 31, 2019, and the related consolidated statements operations, changes in deficiency in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements).

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Combined Financial Statements

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

 

Auditors’ Responsibility

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

 

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

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Substantial Doubt about 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. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard 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. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.

Splash Beverage Group, Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

Note 1 – Business Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Splash Beverage Group, Inc. (“we” or the “Company”) was organized on January 8, 2012 under the name Tapout Beverages, Inc. under the laws of Nevada. We changed our name to Splash Beverage Group, Inc. on April 17, 2012. On March 12, 2018, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Splash International Holdings, LLC, a Nevada corporation (“Holdings”), to conduct business in Central and South America. In December 2018, we formed a wholly owned subsidiary in Mexico, Splash MEX SA DE CV (“Splash Mex”), for the exportation of SALT Tequila from Mexico to the USA, South and Central Americas. We plan to commence distribution of TapouT in Mexico to serve the Central and South American markets. The Company specializes in development, procurement, distribution, and sales and marketing activities of various non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages across multiple channels.

 

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 Beverage Group and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Holdings and Splash Mex. 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, our accounts receivable amounts are reflected net of allowances of $ 11,430.

 

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, accounted for using the weighted average cost method. The inventory balance at December 31, 2019 consisted of finished goods held for distribution. The cost elements in 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

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

 

Inventory, continued

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 ranges 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 for the year ended December 31, 2019. Property and equipment as of December 31, 2019 consisted of the following:

 

Property and equipment, at cost  $88,758 
Accumulated depreciation   (51,029)
Property and equipment, net  $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. 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 (“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:

 

- 8 -

 

 

Splash Beverage Group, Inc.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, continued

 

  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, 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 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. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The Company 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.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

 

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 at December 31, 2019.

 

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 during the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

Related Parties

We are indebted to certain members of our Board of Directors at December 31, 2019. Transactions between us and the 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, 2019, 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). This ASU requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for most leases in its balance sheet. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted.

 

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 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.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

 

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 April 3, 2020, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

 

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 during the year ended December 31, 2019 and have an accumulated deficit of approximately $31.8 million at December 31, 2019. In addition, we have current liabilities in excess of current assets of approximately $9.9 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.

On December 7, 2019, our Board of Directors granted 825,000 options to certain employees and consultants. None of these options were exercised at December 31, 2019. There are 825,000 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 225,000.

 

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 December 31, 2019.

 

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

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 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.
