Eastside Distilling, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2024

1. Description of Business

 

Eastside Distilling (the “Company” or “Eastside Distilling”) was incorporated under the laws of Nevada in 2004 under the name of Eurocan Holdings, Ltd. In December 2014, the Company changed its corporate name to Eastside Distilling, Inc. to reflect the acquisition of Eastside Distilling, LLC. On September 4, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with East Acquisition Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”) and Beeline Financial Holdings, Inc. (“Beeline”). The Merger closed on October 7, 2024. Beeline is a mortgage technology company that operates an end-to-end, all-digital, AI-enhanced platform for homeowners and property investors. The Company currently employs 88 people in the United States, including Beeline’s employees and excluding Craft Canning + Printing (“Craft C+P”) employees.

 

On September 4, 2024, the Company and its subsidiary, Craft C+P, entered into a Debt Exchange Agreement (the “Debt Agreement”), which closed on October 7, 2024, resulting in the assignment by the Company of 720 barrels of spirits to Craft C+P, followed by the merger of Craft C+P into a limited liability company owned by certain creditors of the Company. Given that the effect of the Debt Agreement meets all the initial criteria of ASC Topic 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations for the classification of held for sale, the assets, liabilities, and operating results of Craft C+P have been classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The consolidated financial statements for the prior periods have been adjusted to reflect comparable information.

 

Subsequent to the execution of the Debt Agreement, the Company organized a subsidiary named “Bridgetown Spirits Corp.” (“Bridgetown”), which was incorporated on October 3, 2024, and assigned to Bridgetown the Company’s business of manufacturing and marketing spirits. Bridgetown manufactures, acquires, blends, bottles, imports, markets and sells a wide variety of alcoholic beverages under recognized brands. Bridgetown’s brands span several alcoholic beverage categories, including whiskey, vodka, rum, and tequila. Bridgetown sells products on a wholesale basis to distributors in open states and through brokers in control states.

 

2. Liquidity

 

Through September 30, 2024, the Company’s primary capital requirements have been for cash used in operating activities and for the repayment of debt. Funds for the Company’s cash and liquidity needs have historically not been generated from operations but rather from loans as well as from convertible debt and equity financing. The Company has been dependent on raising capital from debt and equity financing to meet the Company’s operating needs.

 

The Company had an accumulated deficit of $87.0 million as of September 30, 2024, having incurred a net loss of $4.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

 

On October 7, 2024, the Company satisfied all of its secured debt and $2.5 million of unsecured debt by assigning ownership of its subsidiary, Craft C+P, to the creditors of that debt, who additionally surrendered to the Company 44,279 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The transaction substantially reduced the Company’s debt obligations. On the same day, Beeline merged into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Beeline used $8.6 million in operating activities during 2023 and $10.1 million in operating activities during the first six months of 2024, funds that it obtained from a variety of debt and equity financing transactions.

 

The Company’s ability, therefore, to meet its ongoing operating cash needs over the next 12 months will depend in part on generating positive operating cash flow through increased sales. However, the Company will continue to depend, for the foreseeable future, on debt and/or equity financing. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing, or additional financing is not available on acceptable terms, the Company may seek to sell assets, reduce operating expenses, reduce or eliminate marketing initiatives, and take other measures that could impair its ability to be successful.

 

Although the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 were prepared under the assumption that it would continue operations as a going concern, the report of its independent registered public accounting firm that accompanied the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 contained a going concern explanatory paragraph in which such firm expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, based on the financial statements at that time. If the Company cannot continue as a going concern, its stockholders would likely lose most or all of their investment in it.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for Eastside Distilling, Inc. and subsidiaries were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or eliminated as permitted under the SEC’s rules and regulations. In management’s opinion, the unaudited consolidated financial statements include all material adjustments, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2024, its operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for an entire fiscal year. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eastside Distilling, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Bridgetown. The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of two other wholly-owned subsidiaries, Craft Canning + Bottling, LLC (doing business as Craft Canning + Printing) and Galactic Unicorn Packaging, LLC, presented as assets and liabilities held for sale. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Net sales include product sales, less excise taxes and customer programs and incentives. The Company recognizes revenue by applying the following steps in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company recognizes spirits sales when merchandise is shipped from a warehouse directly to wholesale customers (except in the case of a consignment sale). For consignment sales, which include sales to the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, the Company recognizes sales upon the consignee’s shipment to the customer. Postage and handling charges billed to customers are also recognized as sales upon shipment of the related merchandise. Shipping terms are generally FOB shipping point, and title passes to the customer at the time and place of shipment or purchase by customers at a retail location. For consignment sales, title passes to the consignee concurrent with the consignee’s shipment to the customer. The customer has no cancellation privileges after shipment or upon purchase at retail locations, other than customary rights of return.

 

In the Craft C+P segment, sales are recognized when printed cans are delivered or when mobile filling services are performed.

 

Customer Programs

 

Customer programs, which include customer promotional discount programs, are a common practice in the alcoholic beverage industry. The Company reimburses wholesalers for an agreed amount to promote sales of products and to maintain competitive pricing. Amounts paid in connection with customer programs are recorded as reductions to net sales in accordance with ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Amounts recorded in customer programs totaled $40,302 and $43,551 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Excise Taxes

 

The Company is responsible for compliance with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (“TTB”) regulations, which includes making timely and accurate excise tax payments. The Company is subject to periodic compliance audits by the TTB. Individual states also impose excise taxes on alcoholic beverages in varying amounts. The Company calculates its excise tax expense based upon units produced and on its understanding of the applicable excise tax laws. Excise taxes totaled $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales consists of all direct costs related to both spirits and canning for service, labor, overhead, packaging, and in-bound freight charges. Raw materials account for the largest portion of the cost of sales, followed by packaging and production costs.

 

Sales and Marketing Expenses

 

Sales and marketing expenses consist of sponsorships, agency fees, digital media, salary and benefit expenses, travel and entertainment expenses. Sales and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses totaled $44,480 and $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist of salary and benefit expenses, travel and entertainment expenses for executive and administrative staff, rent and utilities, professional fees, insurance, and amortization and depreciation expense. General and administrative costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes as compensation expense all stock-based awards issued to employees. The compensation cost is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the related stock-based awards and is recognized over the service period of stock-based awards, which is generally the same as the vesting period. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which estimates the fair value of each award on the date of grant based on a variety of assumptions including expected stock price volatility, expected terms of the awards, risk-free interest rate, and dividend rates, if applicable. Stock-based awards issued to nonemployees are recorded at fair value on the measurement date and are subject to periodic market adjustments at the end of each reporting period and as the underlying stock-based awards vest.

 

Concentrations

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of the trade receivables of Bridgetown. As of September 30, 2024, two distributors represented 75% of Bridgetown trade receivables. As of December 31, 2023, three distributors represented 84% of Bridgetown trade receivables. Sales to one distributor accounted for 67% of consolidated sales by Bridgetown for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Sales to one distributor and one wholesale customer accounted for 69% of consolidated sales of Bridgetown for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. GAAP permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and contains financial statement presentation and disclosure requirements for assets and liabilities for which the fair value option is elected. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, management has not elected to report any of the Company’s assets or liabilities at fair value under the “fair value option” provided by GAAP.

The hierarchy of fair value valuation techniques under GAAP provides for three levels: Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3, if applicable, generally would require significant management judgment. The three levels for categorizing assets and liabilities under GAAP’s fair value measurement requirements are as follows:

 

  Level 1: Fair value of the asset or liability is determined using cash or unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
   Level 2: Fair value of the asset or liability is determined using inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the applicable asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar (as opposed to identical) assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
     
  Level 3: Fair value of the asset or liability is determined using unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement and reflect management’s own assumptions regarding the applicable asset or liability.

 

None of the Company’s assets or liabilities were measured at fair value as of September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. However, GAAP requires the disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments that are not measured at fair value. Financial instruments consist principally of trade receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, and the secured credit facilities. The estimated fair value of trade receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying value due to the short period of time to their maturities. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the principal amounts of the Company’s notes approximated fair value.

 

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

 

Certain assets and liabilities acquired in a business acquisition are valued at fair value at the date of acquisition due to having indefinite lives. The Company, on an annual basis, tests the indefinite life assets for impairment. If an indefinite life asset is found to be impaired, then the Company will estimate its useful life and amortize the asset over the remainder of its useful life.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories primarily consist of bulk and bottled liquor and raw materials and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using an average costing methodology, which approximates cost under the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. A portion of the Company’s finished goods inventory is held by certain independent distributors on consignment until it is sold to a third party. The Company regularly monitors inventory quantities on hand and records write-downs for excess and obsolete inventories based primarily on the Company’s estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements. Such write-downs establish a new cost basis of accounting for the related inventory.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to seven years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the life of the lease or the useful lives of the assets, whichever is shorter. The cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization of property and equipment sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reported as current period income or expense. The costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

 

Intangible Assets / Goodwill

 

The Company accounts for certain intangible assets at cost. Management reviews these intangible assets for probable impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If there is an indication of impairment, management would prepare an estimate of future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these estimated cash flows were less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss would be recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value.

Long-lived Assets

 

The Company accounts for long-lived assets, including certain intangible assets, at amortized cost. Management reviews long-lived assets for probable impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If there is an indication of impairment, management would prepare an estimate of future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these estimated cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss would be recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

The Company did not have any other comprehensive income items in either of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 or 2023.

 

Accounts Receivable Factoring Program

 

The Company had two accounts receivable factoring programs: one for its spirits customers (the “spirits program”) that had a zero balance as of September 30, 2024 and another for its co-packing customers (the “co-packing program”) that terminated in August 2023. Under the programs, the Company had the option to sell certain customer account receivables in advance of payment for 75% (spirits program) or 85% (co-packing program) of the amount due. When the customer remits payment, the Company receives the remaining balance. For the spirits program, interest is charged on the advanced 75% payment at a rate of 2.4% for the first 30 days plus 1.44% for each additional ten-day period. For the co-packing program, interest was charged against the greater of $0.5 million or the total funds advanced at a rate of 1% plus the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal. Under the terms of both agreements, the factoring provider had full recourse against the Company should the customer fail to pay the invoice. In accordance with ASC Topic 860 – Transfers and Servicing, the Company has concluded that these agreements have met all three conditions identified in ASC Topic 860-10-40-5 (a) – (c) and have accounted for this activity as a sale. Given the quality of the factored accounts, the Company had not recognized a recourse obligation. In certain limited instances, the Company may provide collection services on the factored accounts but did not receive any fees for acting as the collection agent, and as such, the Company had not recognized a service obligation asset or liability. The Company factored $0.7 million of invoices and incurred $20,821 in fees associated with the factoring programs during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 seeks to improve information about cost of sales and selling, general, and administrative expenses to assist investors in better understanding an entity’s cost structure and forecasting future cash flows. The updated guidance is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 seeks to improve transparency in income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disclosures. The updated guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2025. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2023-09 to have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”).

On September 4, 2024, the Company and its subsidiary, Craft C+P, entered into the Debt Agreement with The B.A.D. Company, LLC (the “SPV”), Aegis Security Insurance Company (“Aegis”), Bigger Capital Fund, LP (“Bigger”), District 2 Capital Fund, LP (“District 2”), LDI Investments, LLC (“LDI”), William Esping (“Esping”), WPE Kids Partners (“WPE”) and Robert Grammen (“Grammen”), collectively, the “Investors”. The SPV is a special purpose vehicle whose equity is shared 50% by Bigger and District 2 and 50% by Aegis and LDI.

 

On October 7, 2024, a closing will be held pursuant to the terms of the Debt Agreement. Aegis, Bigger, District 2 and LDI will transfer to the Company 31,234 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 119,873 shares of the Company’s common stock.

11. Leases

 

The Company has various lease agreements in place for its warehouse and copier. Terms of these leases include, in some instances, scheduled rent increases, renewals, purchase options and maintenance costs, and vary by lease. These lease obligations expire at various dates through 2026. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. As the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement to determine the present value of the lease payments. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (“short-term leases”) are not recorded on the balance sheet and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As of September 30, 2024, the amount of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were each $0.4 million. Aggregate lease expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $0.2 million, consisting of $0.1 million in operating lease expense for lease liabilities and $0.1 million in short-term lease cost.

Note Purchase Agreement

 

On October 7, 2022, the Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement dated as of October 6, 2022 with Aegis. Pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, Aegis purchased from the Company a secured promissory note in the principal amount of $4.5 million (the “Aegis Note”). Aegis paid for the Aegis Note by paying $3.3 million to TQLA to fully satisfy a secured line of credit promissory note that the Company issued to TQLA on March 21, 2022; and the remaining $1.2 million was paid in cash to the Company. The Aegis Note bears interest at 9.25% per annum, payable every three months. The principal amount of the Aegis Note will be payable on March 31, 2025. The Company pledged substantially all of its assets to secure its obligations to Aegis under the Aegis Note.

 

On September 29, 2023, the Company entered into a Debt Satisfaction Agreement with Aegis and other creditors, pursuant to which the Aegis Note was amended and restated. See: Note 16, Stockholders Equity – Debt Satisfaction Agreement. Principal and interest of $1.9 million were exchanged for equity issued to a special purpose vehicle, The B.A.D. Company, LLC (the SPV), in which Aegis holds a 29% interest. As of September 30, 2024, the principal balance of the Aegis Note was $2.6 million and interest expense accrued was $0.1 million.

 

6% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes

 

On April 19, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with accredited investors (“Subscribers”) for their purchase of up to $3.3 million of principal amount of 6% secured convertible promissory notes of the Company (“Note” or “Notes”), which notes are convertible into shares (“Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Notes with an initial conversion price of $44.00. In connection with the purchase of such Notes, each Subscriber received a warrant (“Existing Warrant”), to purchase a number of shares of common stock (“Warrant Shares”) equal to 60% of the principal amount of any Note issued to such Subscriber divided by the conversion price of the Note issued to such Subscriber, at an exercise price equal to $52.00. In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a Security Agreement under which it granted the Subscribers a security interest in certain assets of the Company (the “Security Agreement”) and a Registration Rights Agreement under which the Company agreed to register for resale the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares. Concurrently therewith, the Company and the investors closed $3.3 million of the private offering.

 

Roth Capital, LLC acted as placement agent in the private offering, and the Company paid the Placement Agent a cash fee of five percent (5%) of the gross proceeds therefrom. The Company received $3.1 million in net proceeds from the closing, after deducting the fee payable to the Placement Agent and the legal fees of the Subscribers in connection with the transaction. The Company used the proceeds to repay prior outstanding notes payable and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

Interest on the Notes accrued at a rate of 6% per annum and was payable either in cash or in shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion price in the Note on each of the six and twelve month anniversaries of the issuance date and on the maturity date of October 18, 2022.

All amounts due under the Notes are convertible at any time after the issuance date, in whole or in part (subject to rounding for fractional shares), at the option of the holders into the Company’s common stock at a fixed conversion price, which is subject to adjustment as summarized below. The Notes were initially convertible into the Company’s common stock at an initial fixed conversion price of $44.00 per share. This conversion price is subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations, or similar events, among other adjustments. On April 1, 2022, the Company and the holders agreed to a reduction of the conversion price of the 6% secured convertible promissory notes to $26.00 per share in connection with the Company’s issuance of a common stock purchase warrant to TQLA covering its loan amount of $3.5 million with a common stock value of $24.00 per share.

 

The Notes contain customary triggering events including but not limited to: (i) failure to make payments when due under the Notes; and (ii) bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company. If a triggering event occurs, each holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Notes (including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon), in cash.

 

The Notes are secured by a subordinated security interest in the Company’s assets pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement entered into between the Company and the Subscribers.

 

On October 13, 2022, the Company entered into an Amendment Agreement with the holders of the 6% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes. The Amendment Agreement changed the Maturity Date of the Notes from October 18, 2022 to November 18, 2022. In consideration of the extension, the Company issued 4,808 shares of its common stock to each of the Subscribers.

 

On September 29, 2023, the Company entered into a Debt Satisfaction Agreement with the Subscribers and other creditors, pursuant to which the Maturity Date of the Notes was extended from November 18, 2022 to March 31, 2025 and interest accrues at 9% per annum. See: Note 16, Stockholders Equity – Debt Satisfaction Agreement. Principal and interest on the Notes of $3.3 million was exchanged for equity issued to the SPV, in which the Subscribers held a 50% ownership interest, and the Notes were then amended and restated. As of September 30, 2024, the principal balance was $0.4 million and interest expense accrued was $27,451.

 

2024 Secured Notes

 

On May 15, 2024, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with the SPV, Aegis, Bigger, District 2, and LDI.

 

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Bigger, District 2 and LDI purchased from the Company for $1.1 million cash promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1.1 million (the “2024 Secured Notes”). The 2024 Secured Notes may be satisfied by payment of 110% of principal on or before November 29, 2024, by payment of 130% of principal on or before March 30, 2025 or by payment of 140% of principal on March 31, 2025.

 

With each 2024 Secured Note, the Company issued Warrants to purchase a share of the Company’s common stock for $5.00 exercisable for five years after December 2, 2024 if on November 29, 2024 the 2024 Secured Note issued to the Warrant-holder remains unsatisfied. LDI received a Warrant to purchase 598,021 shares and each of Bigger and District 2 received a Warrant to purchase 299,011 shares.

 

The Loan Agreement provides that if the 2024 Secured Notes have not been satisfied by November 29, 2024, then until March 31, 2025 each of the Subscribers will have the right to purchase a “Kicker Note” in the amount of $0.5 million for LDI or $0.3 million for each of Bigger and District 2 by surrendering debt or equity instruments specified in the Loan Agreement. The Kicker Notes will not bear interest, and may be satisfied by payment of their principal amounts on or before March 31, 2026.

 

The Company’s obligations under the 2024 Secured Notes and the Kicker Notes (collectively, the “2024 Notes”) are secured by the Company’s pledge of its assets, subject to certain specified exceptions. In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company, Aegis, Bigger and District 2 amended and restated the Intercreditor Agreement they had executed on September 29, 2023. In the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement, Aegis, Bigger and District 2 subordinate their liens on any barrels of spirits owned by the Company, and the parties agree that the net proceeds of any sale of barrels will be paid to the Subscribers in satisfaction of the 2024 Notes. Commencing when all barrels have been sold, the lien of the Subscribers under the 2024 Notes will become pari passu with the senior lien on the remaining collateral.

Legal Matters

 

On March 1, 2023, Sandstrom Partners, Inc. filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for the County of Multnomah alleging the Company failed to pay for its services pursuant to an agreement entered into on October 16, 2019. The complaint sought damages of $245,000, plus a judicial declaration, due to the Company’s failure to pay for the services. The Company believes that it paid for services rendered. On October 28, 2024, the Company signed a term sheet to settle the case.

 

On December 15, 2020, Grover Wickersham filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon against the Company. Mr. Wickersham, the former CEO and Chairman of the Board of the Company, has asserted causes of action for fraud in the inducement, breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, defamation, interference with economic advantage, elder financial abuse, and dissemination of false and misleading proxy materials. During June 2024, this case was settled.

 

The Company is not currently subject to any other material legal proceedings; however, it could be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, or legal proceedings it considered immaterial may in the future become material. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can, among other things, be time consuming and expensive to resolve, and can divert management resources.

 

15. Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

 

Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without considering any dilutive items. Potentially dilutive securities consist of the incremental common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options, convertible notes and warrants. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. There were no anti-dilutive common shares included in the calculation of income (loss) per common share as of September 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

16. Stockholders’ Equity

 

Debt Satisfaction Agreement

 

On September 29, 2023, the Company entered into a Debt Satisfaction Agreement (the “DSA”) with the SPV, Aegis, Bigger, District 2, LDI and TQLA, LLC. The SPV is a special purpose vehicle whose equity is shared 50% by Bigger and District 2 and 50% by Aegis and LDI.

 

Pursuant to the DSA, on September 29, 2023, the Company issued to the SPV 296,722 shares of the Company’s common stock and 200,000 shares of its Series C Preferred Stock, and executed a Registration Rights Agreement providing that the Company will register for public resale that common stock and the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock. In exchange for that equity, the Company’s debts to the members of the SPV were reduced by a total of $6.5 million and the Company recognized a loss on the conversion of $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Specifically, the debt was reduced as follows:

 

  the principal balance of the Secured Promissory Note issued by the Company to Aegis on October 6, 2022 was reduced by $1.9 million;
     
   the Company’s debt to LDI of $1.4 million arising from advances made by LDI to the Company during the past 10 months was eliminated;
     
   the aggregate principal balance of the Secured Convertible Promissory Notes issued by the Company to Bigger in April and May of 2021 was reduced by $1.6 million; and
     
   the aggregate principal balance of the Secured Convertible Promissory Notes issued by the Company to District 2 in April and May of 2021 was reduced by $1.6 million.

  the maturity date of the secured debt listed above as well as unsecured notes issued by the Company and held by Bigger and District 2 in the aggregate amount of $7.4 million was deferred to March 31, 2025 and the interest rate on all such debt was increased to 8% per annum;
     
  the Company, Aegis, Bigger and District 2 entered into an Intercreditor Agreement, pursuant to which the remaining secured debt obligations of the Company to Aegis, Bigger and District 2 were made pari passu;
     
  the Common Stock Purchase Warrant issued by the Company to TQLA LLC on March 21, 2022, which permits TQLA LLC to purchase up to 145,834 shares of the Company’s common stock, was amended to prevent any exercise of the Warrant that would result in the portion of the cumulative voting power in the Company that the holder and its affiliates may own after the conversion to 9.99%. The Beneficial Ownership Limitation may be increased to 19.99% by the holder upon 61 days advance notice to the Company.
     
  Upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, or upon the effective date of a consolidation, merger or statutory share exchange in which the Company is not the surviving entity, the holder of each share of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a distribution prior to and in preference of the holders of the common stock.
     
  In the event the Company declares a dividend payable in cash or stock to holders of any class of stock, the holder of each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive a dividend equal in amount and kind to that payable to the holder of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock into which that holder’s Series C Preferred Stock could be converted on the record date for the distribution common stock. The dividends issued on the Company s outstanding Series B Preferred Stock are excluded from this provision.
     
  The holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights; except that nothing will limit a holder’s voting rights with respect to shares of any other class of the Company’s common stock held from time to time.

Issuance of Series B Preferred Stock

 

On October 19, 2021, Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with an accredited investor (“Subscriber”) for its purchase of 2.5 million shares (“Preferred Shares”) of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per Preferred Share, which Preferred Shares are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in a Certificate of Designation Establishing Series B Preferred Stock of the Company with an initial conversion price of $62.00 per share. 42,500 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance in the event of conversion of the Preferred Shares.

 

The Series B Preferred Stock accrues dividends at a rate of 6% per annum, payable annually on the last day of December of each year. Dividends shall accrue from day to day, whether or not declared, and shall be cumulative. Dividends are payable at the Company’s option either in cash or “in kind” in shares of common stock; provided, however that dividends may only be paid in cash following the fiscal year in which the Company has net income (as shown in its audited financial statements contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year) of at least $0.5 million. For “in-kind” dividends, holders will receive that number of shares of common stock equal to (i) the amount of the dividend payment due such stockholder divided by (ii) the volume weighted average price of the common stock for the 90 trading days immediately preceding a dividend date (“VWAP”). For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company issued dividends of 177,725 shares of common stock at $0.84 per share to its Series B Preferred stockholders.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

On September 8, 2016, the Company adopted the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). Pursuant to the terms of the plan, on January 1, 2023 the number of shares available for grant under the 2016 Plan reset to 437,993 shares, equal to 8% of the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock, calculated on an as-converted basis, on March 31 of the preceding calendar year, and then added to the prior year plan amount. As of September 30, 2024, there were 2,120 options and 196,619 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) outstanding under the 2016 Plan, with vesting schedules varying between immediate or three (3) years from the grant date.

 

A summary of all stock option activity as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is presented below:

Summary of Stock Options Activity 

   # of Options   Weighted-
Average
Exercise Price
 
Outstanding as of December 31, 2023   2,120   $57.95 
           
Outstanding and Exercisable as of September 30, 2024   2,120   $57.95 

 

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding as of September 30, 2024 was $0. As of September 30, 2024, all options had vested.

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to measure the grant-date fair value of stock options. The grant-date fair value of stock options issued to employees is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Stock-based awards issued to nonemployees are recorded at fair value on the measurement date and are subject to periodic market adjustments as the underlying stock-based awards vest.

To determine the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model, the calculation takes into consideration the effect of the following:

 

  Exercise price of the option
  Fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant
  Expected term of the option
  Expected volatility over the expected term of the option
  Risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option

 

The calculation includes several assumptions that require management’s judgment. The expected term of the options is calculated using the simplified method described in GAAP. The simplified method defines the expected term as the average of the contractual term and the vesting period. Estimated volatility is derived from volatility calculated using historical closing prices of common shares of similar entities whose share prices are publicly available for the expected term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturities in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the options.

 

The Company did not issue any additional options during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

 

Warrants

 

On May 16, 2024, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with the SPV, Aegis, Bigger, District 2, and LDI. With each 2024 Secured Note, the Company issued a Warrant to purchase a share of the Company’s common stock for $5.00 exercisable for five years after December 2, 2024 if on November 29, 2024 the 2024 Secured Note issued to the Warrant-holder remains unsatisfied. LDI received a Warrant to purchase 598,021 shares and each of Bigger and District 2 received a Warrant to purchase 299,011 shares. The Company recorded debt issuance costs of $0.3 million as of September 30, 2024.

 

The estimated fair value of the new warrants issued was based on a combination of closing market trading price on the date of issuance for the public offering warrants, and the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, using the assumptions below:

 

Volatility   100%
Risk-free interest rate   4.4%
Expected term (in years)   5.0 
Expected dividend yield    
Fair value of common stock  $0.55

The common stock purchase warrant expires in March 2027. The warrants were amended pursuant to the Debt Satisfaction Agreement (See discussion above) to prevent any exercise that would result in the warrant-holder and affiliates acquiring cumulative voting power in excess of 9.99%.

From April 19, 2021 through May 12, 2021, the Company issued in a private placement Existing Warrants to purchase up to 45,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $52.00 per Warrant Share.

The New Warrants have substantially the same terms as the Existing Warrants, except that the New Warrants have an exercise price of $60.00 per share and are exercisable until August 19, 2026. On September 29, 2023, pursuant to the Debt Satisfaction Agreement (see above), the exercise price of the Existing Warrants was reduced to $33.08 per share and the term during which the Existing Warrants may be exercised was extended to June 23, 2028.

 

On January 15, 2020, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) between the Company and Live Oak Banking Company (“Live Oak”), a North Carolina banking corporation (the “Lender”) to refinance existing debt of the Company and to provide funding for general working capital purposes In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company issued to the Lender a warrant to purchase up to 5,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $78.80 per share (the “Warrant”). The Warrant expires on January 15, 2025.

Preferred Stock

 

On October 7, 2024 the Company filed with the Nevada Secretary of State a Certificate of Designation of 255,474 shares of Series D Preferred Stock and a Certificate of Designation of 200,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock and a Certificate of Designation of 70.0 million shares of Series F Preferred Stock and a Certificate of Designation of 1.0 million shares of Series F-1 Preferred Stock. The material terms of each class of Preferred Stock are:

 

Series D Preferred Stock. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock has a stated value of $10.00. The holder of Series D Preferred Stock has no voting rights by reason of those shares, except that the approval by holders of more than 50% of the outstanding Series D Preferred Stock will be required for any corporate action that would adversely affect the preferences, privileges or rights of the Series D Preferred Stock. In the event that the Company declares a dividend payable in cash or stock to holders of any class of the Company’s stock, the holder of a share of Series D Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an equivalent dividend on an as-converted basis. In the event of a liquidation of the Company, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock will share in the distribution of the Company’s net assets on an as-converted basis, subordinate only to the senior position of the Series B Preferred Stock. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock will be convertible into common stock by a conversion ratio equal to the stated value of the Series D share divided by the Series D Conversion Price. The initial Series D Conversion Price is $1.80 per common share, which is subject to equitable adjustment. The number of shares of common stock into which a holder may convert Series D Preferred Stock is limited by a Beneficial Ownership Limitation, which restricts the portion of the cumulative voting power in the Company that the holder and its affiliates may own after the conversion to 9.99%.

Series E Preferred Stock. Each share of Series E Preferred Stock has a stated value of $10.00. The holder of Series E Preferred Stock has no voting rights by reason of those shares, except that the approval by holders of more than 50% of the outstanding Series E Preferred Stock will be required for any corporate action that would adversely affect the preferences, privileges or rights of the Series E Preferred Stock. In the event that the Company declares a dividend payable in cash or stock to holders of any class of the Company’s stock, the holder of a share of Series E Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an equivalent dividend on an as-converted basis. In the event of a liquidation of the Company, the holders of Series E Preferred Stock will share in the distribution of the Company’s net assets on an as-converted basis, subordinate only to the senior position of the Series B Preferred Stock. Commencing 390 days after the closing under the Debt Agreement (the “Measurement Date”), each share of Series E Preferred Stock will be convertible into common stock by a conversion ratio equal to the stated value of the Series E share divided by the Series E Conversion Price. The Series E Conversion Price on and after the Measurement Date will equal the average of the VWAPs for the five trading days immediately preceding the Measurement Date, subject to a “Floor Price” of $0.25 per share. The Series E Conversion Price and the Floor Price will be subject to equitable adjustment in the event of stock splits and the like. The number of shares of common stock into which a holder may convert Series E Preferred Stock is limited by a Beneficial Ownership Limitation, which restricts the portion of the cumulative voting power in the Company that the holder and its affiliates may own after the conversion to 9.99%.

 

Series F Preferred Stock. Each share of Series F Preferred Stock has a stated value of $0.50. The holder of Series F Preferred Stock has no voting rights by reason of those shares, except that the approval by holders of more than 50% of the outstanding Series F Preferred Stock will be required for any corporate action that would adversely affect the preferences, privileges or rights of the Series F Preferred Stock. In the event that the Company declares a dividend payable in cash or stock to holders of any class of the Company’s stock, the holder of a share of Series F Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an equivalent dividend on an as-converted basis. In the event of a liquidation of the Company, the holders of Series F Preferred Stock will share in the distribution of the Company’s net assets on an as-converted basis, subordinate only to the senior position of the Series B Preferred Stock.

 

Series F-1 Preferred Stock. The material terms of the Series F-1 Preferred Stock are identical to the material terms of the Series F Preferred Stock, except that holders of Series F-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to case one vote per share at any meeting of the Company’s shareholders.

 

Shareholder Approval. If the shareholders of the Company approve the conversion of the Series F and the Series F-1 Preferred Stock at a meeting to be called for that purpose, each such share will be convertible into common stock by a conversion ratio equal to the stated value of the Series F or F-1 share divided by the Series F Conversion Price. The initial Series F Conversion Price is $0.50 per common share, which is subject to a “Floor Price” equal to 20% of the “Minimum Price” as defined in the Nasdaq Rules. The Series F Conversion Price and the Floor Price are subject to equitable adjustment. In addition, if during the next two years the sum of the common shares outstanding on October 7, 2024 plus shares issuable on conversion of Preferred Stock plus shares issuable on conversion of securities issued in the initial financing of the post-merger company plus shares issued to settle pre-existing liabilities (collectively, the “Measuring Shares”) exceeds 14,848,485, then the Series F Conversion Price will be adjusted to retain the ratio of common share issuable on conversion to the Measuring Shares. Likewise, if the number of Measuring Shares on October 7, 2025 is less than 14,848,485, then the Series F Conversion Price will be adjusted to retain the ration of the Measuring Shares to the number of shares issuable on conversion. The number of shares of common stock into which a holder (other than a holder otherwise subject to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act) may convert Series F or Series F-1 Preferred Stock will be limited by a Beneficial Ownership Limitation, which restricts the portion of the cumulative voting power in the Company that the holder and its affiliates may own after the conversion to 4.99%.

 

Series C Preferred Stock

 

On October 25, 2024, the SPV transferred its remaining Series C Preferred Stock, 117,586 shares, to members in proportion to the membership interest of each. These shares were then converted to 1.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock.

Senior Secured Notes

 

Purchase Agreement

 

On November 14, 2024, the Company sold $1.9 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes (the “Notes”) and Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase a total of 363,602 shares of common stock (the “Warrants”) for total gross proceeds of $1.6 million in a private placement offering (the “Offering”).The Notes and Warrants were sold pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with accredited investors (each, an “Investor” and together the “Investors”).

 

The Notes have a maturity date of 120 days from issuance, were issued with a 20% original issue discount and do not bear interest unless and until one or more of the customary events of default set forth therein occurs, whereupon each Note will bear interest at a rate of 18% per annum. If the Note remains outstanding for 180 days, the Note also requires a special one-time interest payment of 30% which will increase the principal of each Note accordingly. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, each Investor also has the right to require the Company to pay all or any portion of the Note at a 25% premium. Further, the Company is required to prepay the Notes in connection with certain sales of securities or assets at each Investor’s election in an amount equal to 35% of the gross proceeds from such sales. The Company also has the right to prepay all, but not less than all, of the outstanding amounts under the Notes, at its election. The Notes contain certain restrictive covenants, including covenants precluding the Company and its subsidiaries from incurring indebtedness, transferring assets, changing the nature of its business, and engaging in certain other actions, subject to certain exceptions.

 

The Warrants have a term of five years from issuance and are exercisable at an exercise price of $0.50 per share (of which $0.499 per share was pre-funded by each Investor). The Warrants will be exercisable beginning upon shareholder approval of the issuance of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrants in accordance with the rules of The Nasdaq Capital Market and an increase in the authorized Common Stock of the Company. If at any time after exercising the Warrants, there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use, then the Warrants may also be exercised, in whole or in part, by means of a “cashless exercise.”

 

The Company also entered in three forms of side letters with the Investors which (i) permitted one Investor which with an affiliate invested $0.4 million to exchange that amount of stated value of shares of Series F Preferred Stock for a $0.4 million 120-day promissory note to another affiliate, which note was issued immediately prior to the closing of the Offering and has substantially identical terms to the Notes issued therein, except it is subordinated with respect to its security interest, (ii) permit two Investors to convert Series D Preferred Stock beginning on April 7, 2025, and (iii) permit two Investors to receive a number of shares of Series F equal to 50% of their investment amount, or $0.1 million each, using the stated value of the Series F Preferred Stock, which is $0.50 per share, to determine the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock.

 

Promissory Note

 

On October 30, 2024, the Company entered into a Promissory Note with LDI for $0.3 million. A balloon payment of the entire outstanding principal balance of the indebtedness together with all accrued interest shall be due and payable in full on November 24, 2024, totaling $0.4 million.

 

Employment Agreement: Chief Executive Officer

 

The Merger Agreement provided that, as a condition to closing of the Merger, The Employment Agreement between the Company and Geoffrey Gwin, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, would be amended in a manner satisfactory to the Company, Beeline and Mr. Gwin. Accordingly, at the time of the Merger, the Company’s Employment Agreement with Geoffrey Gwin was amended as follows:

 

  The performance bonuses in the Employment Agreement were replaced by a bonus of $90,000. On October 15, 2024, the Company issued 180,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Gwin at $0.50 per share in satisfaction of the Company’s bonus obligation.
  The Company issued 400,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Gwin, which will vest on the earlier of March 31, 2025 or the date on which Mr. Gwin’s employment is terminated without cause.
  The Company covenanted that, in the event that the conversion price of the Series F Preferred Stock is reduced, the Company will issue to Mr. Gwin a number of common shares equal to one percent of the additional shares issued as a result of the adjustment.
  The Company agreed to issue 100,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Gwin if he is terminated by the Company without cause.

Overview

 

Eastside Distilling, Inc. (the “Company,” “Eastside Distilling,” “we,” “us,” or “our,” below) was incorporated under the laws of Nevada in 2004 under the name of Eurocan Holdings, Ltd. In December 2014, we changed our corporate name to Eastside Distilling, Inc. to reflect our acquisition of Eastside Distilling, LLC. On September 4, 2024, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with East Acquisition Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”) and Beeline Financial Holdings, Inc. (“Beeline”). The Merger closed on October 7, 2024, at which time Beeline became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

On September 4, 2024, we and our subsidiary, Craft Canning + Printing (“Craft C+P”), entered into a Debt Exchange Agreement (the “Debt Agreement”), which closed on October 7, 2024, resulting in 720 barrels of spirits being assigned by the Company to Craft C+P, and Craft C+P being merged into a limited liability company owned by certain creditors of the Company. Given that the effect of the Debt Agreement meets all the initial criteria of ASC Topic 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations for the classification of held for sale, the assets, liabilities, and operating results of Craft C+P have been classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The consolidated financial statements for the prior periods have been adjusted to reflect comparable information.

 

26

 

 

Subsequent to the execution of the Debt Agreement, we organized a subsidiary named “Bridgetown Spirits Corp.” (“Bridgetown”), which was incorporated on October 3, 2024, and assigned to Bridgetown the Company’s business of manufacturing and marketing spirits. Bridgetown manufactures, acquires, blends, bottles, imports, markets and sells a wide variety of alcoholic beverages under recognized brands. Bridgetown’s brands span several alcoholic beverage categories, including whiskey, vodka, rum, and tequila. Bridgetown sells products on a wholesale basis to distributors in open states and through brokers in control states.

 

Mission and Strategy

 

Our mission is to offer great products and services in the craft beverage space. Our spirits brands span several alcoholic beverage categories, including whiskey, vodka, rum and tequila. We sell our products on a wholesale basis to distributors through open states, and brokers in control states.

 

Our strategy is to expand Bridgetown in our regional market where our brand equity and concentration of investment will have the greatest return. Our spirits portfolio is to be positioned as a leading regional craft spirits provider that develops brands, expands geographic presence growing revenue and cash flow.

 

Segments

 

As of September 30, 2024, our internal management financial reporting consisted of Bridgetown and corporate. The Bridgetown brands span several alcoholic beverage categories, including whiskey, vodka, rum, and tequila and are sold on a wholesale basis to distributors in open states, and to brokers in control states. Our principal area of operation is in the U.S. Pacific Northwest. Corporate consists of key executive and accounting personnel and corporate expenses such as public company and board costs, as well as interest on debt.

 

Bridgetown Spirits Corp.

 

Since 2014, we have developed or acquired award-winning spirits while evolving to meet the growing demand for quality products and services associated within the burgeoning craft and premium beverage trade. Our portfolio includes originals like the Quercus garryana barrel-finished Burnside Whiskey family, Portland Potato Vodka, Hue-Hue Coffee Rum, and Azuñia Tequilas.

 

  Burnside Whiskey Family – Our Burnside Whiskey Family celebrates the unique attributes of the native Oregon Oak tree (Quercus garryana). The unique complexity of each distinct whiskey comes from blending Oregon Oak barrels of differing sizes, char levels, and ages.
     
  Portland Potato Vodka – Our award-winning premium craft vodka is distilled four times to ensure a smooth finish. While most vodka is made from grain, we source award winning premium potato ethanol and blend it with pristine water sourced from Oregon.
     
   Hue-Hue (pronounced “way-way”) Coffee Rum – Premium silver rum is blended with concentrated cold-brewed coffee and a small amount of Demerara sugar. We source fair-trade, single-origin Arabica coffee beans from the Finca El Paternal Estate in Huehuetenango, Guatemala that are lightly roasted for us by Portland Coffee Roasters.
     
  Azuñia Tequilas – Smooth, clean, additive-free tequilas crafted by Rancho Miravalle, a second generation, family-owned-and-operated estate, bursting with authentic flavor from the local terroir of Tequila Valley, Mexico. 100% pure Weber Blue Agave is harvested by hand, roasted in traditional clay hornos, and finished with a natural, open-air fermentation process. It is bottled on-site in small batches using a consistent process to deliver consistent field-to-bottle quality and exclusively exported by Agaveros Unidos de Amatitán.
     
  Eastside Brands – Craft inspired high-quality limited-edition products, which focus on innovation, craftsmanship and curiosity, and creativity.

Recent Developments

 

Bridgetown reduced its sale of bulk barrels in the third quarter of 2024 and saw total volume decline by 12% in the quarter. The majority of the decline was driven by the reduction in distribution of Azuñia tequila as we realigned the brand with new distribution partners. Spirits case shipments in the quarter were down 12% with Portland Potato Vodka down 6% and Burnside down 17%.

Sales were $2.1 million and $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $0.8 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we sold 65 and 250 barrels, respectively, for gross proceeds of $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Spirits sales decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 due to lower sales of tequila and bourbon. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, spirits sold 17,431 cases compared to 19,485 cases in the prior year.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we sold 5,868 cases compared to 6,849 cases in the prior year and 65 barrels for gross proceeds of $0.1 million. We rationalize our barrel inventory by repositioning our bulk spirits portfolio for anticipated future products and forecasted demand.

 

Customer programs and excise taxes

 

Customer programs and excise taxes were $0.1 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and minimal for both the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales consists of all direct costs for raw materials, labor, overhead, packaging, and in-bound freight charges. Cost of sales were $1.5 million and $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $0.6 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Cost of sales decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 due to lower bulk spirits and distributor sales, in addition to lower tequila pricing and raw material savings.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit is calculated by subtracting the cost of products sold and services rendered from net sales. Gross profit was $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $0.2 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

Gross margin is gross profit stated as a percentage of net sales. Our gross margin was 25% and 34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, 26% and 21% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Gross profit and gross margin decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to bulk spirit sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Gross margin increased for the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to bulk spirits sales and continued cost savings initiatives that began in 2023 and continued into 2024.

 

Sales and Marketing Expenses

 

Sales and marketing expenses were $0.7 million and $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, due to reduced headcount as part of sprits restructuring.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses were $1.1 million and $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, due to a reversal of $0.1 million related to compensation expense in the third quarter of 2023.

 

29

 

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense was $1.0 million and $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, due to the Debt Satisfaction Agreement on September 29, 2023.

 

Loss on Debt to Equity Conversion

 

On September 29, 2023, we issued to the SPV 296,722 shares of common stock and 200,000 shares of its Series C Preferred Stock. In exchange for that equity, our debts to the members of the SPV were reduced by a total of $6.5 million and we recognized a loss on the debt to equity conversion was $1.3 million for both the nine and three months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

Net loss was $2.3 million and $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $0.8 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, primarily due to the Debt Satisfaction Agreement.

 

Preferred Stock Dividends

 

Preferred stock dividends were $0.1 million and $37,500 and for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, representing the Series B preferred stock dividend of 6% per annum.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Through September 30, 2024, our primary capital requirements have been for cash used in operating activities and for the repayment of debt. Funds for our cash and liquidity needs have historically not been generated from operations but rather from short-term credit in the form of extended payment terms from suppliers as well as proceeds from loans and the sale of convertible debt and equity. We have been dependent on raising capital from debt and equity financing to meet our operating needs.

 

As a result of these historical practices, we had an accumulated deficit of $87.0 million as of September 30, 2024, having incurred a net loss of $4.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, we had $0.3 million of cash on hand with negative working capital of $12.6 million.

 

On October 7, 2024 we satisfied all secured debt and $2.5 million of unsecured debt by assigning ownership of Craft C+P to the creditors of that debt, who additionally surrendered to us 44,279 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The transaction substantially reduced our debt obligations. On the same day, however, Beeline merged into our wholly-owned subsidiary. Beeline used $8.6 million of cash in operating activities during 2023 and $10.1 million of cash in operating activities during the first six months of 2024, funds that it obtained from a variety of debt and equity financing transactions.

 

Our ability, therefore, to meet our ongoing operating cash needs over the next 12 months will depend, in part, on the success of Beeline in expanding sales and achieving cash-positive operations. In larger part, however, our ability to meet near-term operating cash needs will depend on our success in securing debt and/or equity financing as needed. On November 14, 2024, we closed on a sale of $1.9 million in secured debt, from which we gained $1.6 million in net cash before payment of the transaction costs. These funds should be adequate to fund our cash flow requirement into early 2025. The availability of additional financing will be largely dependent on the operating success of Beeline, including improved gross margins as well as operational improvements, which will be necessary to attract investors.

 

Our cash flow results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (which do not include any cash flows attributable to Beeline) were as follows:

 

(Dollars in thousands)  2024   2023 
Net cash flows provided by (used in):          
Operating activities  $(1.6)  $(1.7)
Investing activities  $0.1   $(0.1)
Financing activities  $1.5   $1.4 

 

30

 

 

Operating Activities

 

Total cash used in operating activities was $1.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $1.7 million used during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The use of cash was similar, even as we lost $1.3 million more during the 2023 period, primarily because the 2023 loss included a $1.3 million loss on the debt to equity conversion that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2023

 

Investing Activities

 

Total cash provided by investing activities was $0.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, representing net proceeds from the sale by Craft C+P of fixed assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash used in investing activities was $0.1 million representing net purchases of fixed assets.

 

Financing Activities

 

Total cash provided by financing activities was $1.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, consisting of $1.1 million from the sale of secured notes in May 2024 and $0.4 million from an at-the-market sale of common stock in September 2024. Total cash provided by financing activities was $1.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily consisted of proceeds from the issuance of stock.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These items are monitored and analyzed by management for changes in facts and circumstances, and material changes in these estimates could occur in the future. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates if past experience or other assumptions do not turn out to be substantially accurate.

 

In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, there was one accounting estimate we made that was subject to a high degree of uncertainty and was critical to our results, as follows:

 

Intangible Assets

 

On September 12, 2019, we purchased the Azuñia brand, the direct sales team, existing product inventory, supply chain relationships and contractual agreements from Intersect Beverage, LLC, an importer and distributor of tequila and related products. The Azuñia brand has been determined to have an indefinite life and will not be amortized. We do, however, on an annual basis, test the indefinite life assets for impairment. If the carrying value of the indefinite life assets are found to be impaired, then we will record an impairment loss and reduce the carrying value of the asset’s estimate the useful life of the brand and amortize the asset over the remainder of its useful life.

 

We estimate the brand’s fair value using market information to estimate future cash flows and will impair it when its carrying amount exceeds its estimated fair value, in which case we will write it down to its estimated fair value. We consider market values for similar assets when available. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate fair value, including making assumptions about future cash flows, net sales and discount rates.

 

We have the option, before quantifying the fair value, to evaluate qualitative factors to assess whether it is more likely than not that our brand is impaired. If we determine that is not the case, then we are not required to quantify the fair value. That assessment also takes considerable management judgment.

 

As of December 31, 2023, as a result of the review described above, we found the Azuñia brand to be impaired and reduced its carrying cost by $0.4 million.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this item.

 

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) that are designed to provide reasonable assurances that the information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

We conducted an evaluation (pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act)), under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2024.

 

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

On March 1, 2023, Sandstrom Partners, Inc. filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for the County of Multnomah alleging the Company failed to pay for its services pursuant to an agreement entered into on October 16, 2019. The complaint sought damages of $245,000, plus a judicial declaration, due to the Company’s failure to pay for the services. The Company believes that it paid for services rendered. On October 28, 2024, the Company signed a term sheet to settle the case for an immaterial amount.

 

On December 15, 2020, Grover Wickersham filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District Court of Oregon against the Company. Mr. Wickersham, the former CEO and Chairman of the Board of the Company, has asserted causes of action for fraud in the inducement, breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, defamation, interference with economic advantage, elder financial abuse, and dissemination of false and misleading proxy materials. During June 2024, this case was settled for an immaterial amount.

 

We are not currently subject to any other material legal proceedings; however, we could be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time in the ordinary course of our business, or legal proceedings we considered immaterial may in the future become material. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can, among other things, be time consuming and expensive to resolve, and divert management resources.

 

ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS

 

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, except for the following additions:

 

If the Company is unable to remedy its shareholder equity deficiency, its common stock may be removed from Nasdaq.

 

On April 8, 2024, the Staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market notified the Company that it had fallen out of compliance with the requirements for continued listing of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq. Specifically, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) requires that the stockholders’ equity of a listed company must exceed $2.5 million. On June 3, 2024 the Staff extended to October 7, 2024 the date by which the Company could regain compliance with the Equity Rule. Based upon the closing of Merger and the Debt Agreement on October 7, 2024, the Company has regained compliance with the Equity Rule. Nasdaq has advised the Company, however, that it will continue to monitor the Company’s ongoing compliance with the Equity Rule and, if at the time when the Company files its next periodic report with the SEC – i.e. its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024 - the Company does not evidence compliance with the Equity Rule, the Company’s common stock may be subject to delisting from Nasdaq.

ITEM 2 – UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Company did not repurchase any of its equity securities that were registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act during the third quarter of fiscal year 2024.

 

ITEM 3 – DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

 

None.

 

ITEM 4 – MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 5 – OTHER INFORMATION

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, no director or officer adopted or terminated any Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement, as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

Description of Business

1. Description of Business

 

Eastside Distilling (the “Company” or “Eastside Distilling”) was incorporated under the laws of Nevada in 2004 under the name of Eurocan Holdings, Ltd. In December 2014, the Company changed its corporate name to Eastside Distilling, Inc. to reflect the acquisition of Eastside Distilling, LLC. On September 4, 2024, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with East Acquisition Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”) and Beeline Financial Holdings, Inc. (“Beeline”). The Merger closed on October 7, 2024. Beeline is a mortgage technology company that operates an end-to-end, all-digital, AI-enhanced platform for homeowners and property investors. The Company currently employs 88 people in the United States, including Beeline’s employees and excluding Craft Canning + Printing (“Craft C+P”) employees.

 

On September 4, 2024, the Company and its subsidiary, Craft C+P, entered into a Debt Exchange Agreement (the “Debt Agreement”), which closed on October 7, 2024, resulting in the assignment by the Company of 720 barrels of spirits to Craft C+P, followed by the merger of Craft C+P into a limited liability company owned by certain creditors of the Company. Given that the effect of the Debt Agreement meets all the initial criteria of ASC Topic 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations for the classification of held for sale, the assets, liabilities, and operating results of Craft C+P have been classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The consolidated financial statements for the prior periods have been adjusted to reflect comparable information.

 

Subsequent to the execution of the Debt Agreement, the Company organized a subsidiary named “Bridgetown Spirits Corp.” (“Bridgetown”), which was incorporated on October 3, 2024, and assigned to Bridgetown the Company’s business of manufacturing and marketing spirits. Bridgetown manufactures, acquires, blends, bottles, imports, markets and sells a wide variety of alcoholic beverages under recognized brands. Bridgetown’s brands span several alcoholic beverage categories, including whiskey, vodka, rum, and tequila. Bridgetown sells products on a wholesale basis to distributors in open states and through brokers in control states.

Liquidity

2. Liquidity

 

Through September 30, 2024, the Company’s primary capital requirements have been for cash used in operating activities and for the repayment of debt. Funds for the Company’s cash and liquidity needs have historically not been generated from operations but rather from loans as well as from convertible debt and equity financing. The Company has been dependent on raising capital from debt and equity financing to meet the Company’s operating needs.

 

The Company had an accumulated deficit of $87.0 million as of September 30, 2024, having incurred a net loss of $4.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

 

On October 7, 2024, the Company satisfied all of its secured debt and $2.5 million of unsecured debt by assigning ownership of its subsidiary, Craft C+P, to the creditors of that debt, who additionally surrendered to the Company 44,279 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The transaction substantially reduced the Company’s debt obligations. On the same day, Beeline merged into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Beeline used $8.6 million in operating activities during 2023 and $10.1 million in operating activities during the first six months of 2024, funds that it obtained from a variety of debt and equity financing transactions.

 

The Company’s ability, therefore, to meet its ongoing operating cash needs over the next 12 months will depend in part on generating positive operating cash flow through increased sales. However, the Company will continue to depend, for the foreseeable future, on debt and/or equity financing. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing, or additional financing is not available on acceptable terms, the Company may seek to sell assets, reduce operating expenses, reduce or eliminate marketing initiatives, and take other measures that could impair its ability to be successful.

 

Although the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 were prepared under the assumption that it would continue operations as a going concern, the report of its independent registered public accounting firm that accompanied the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 contained a going concern explanatory paragraph in which such firm expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, based on the financial statements at that time. If the Company cannot continue as a going concern, its stockholders would likely lose most or all of their investment in it.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for Eastside Distilling, Inc. and subsidiaries were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or eliminated as permitted under the SEC’s rules and regulations. In management’s opinion, the unaudited consolidated financial statements include all material adjustments, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2024, its operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for an entire fiscal year. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eastside Distilling, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Bridgetown. The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of two other wholly-owned subsidiaries, Craft Canning + Bottling, LLC (doing business as Craft Canning + Printing) and Galactic Unicorn Packaging, LLC, presented as assets and liabilities held for sale. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Net sales include product sales, less excise taxes and customer programs and incentives. The Company recognizes revenue by applying the following steps in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company recognizes spirits sales when merchandise is shipped from a warehouse directly to wholesale customers (except in the case of a consignment sale). For consignment sales, which include sales to the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, the Company recognizes sales upon the consignee’s shipment to the customer. Postage and handling charges billed to customers are also recognized as sales upon shipment of the related merchandise. Shipping terms are generally FOB shipping point, and title passes to the customer at the time and place of shipment or purchase by customers at a retail location. For consignment sales, title passes to the consignee concurrent with the consignee’s shipment to the customer. The customer has no cancellation privileges after shipment or upon purchase at retail locations, other than customary rights of return.

 

In the Craft C+P segment, sales are recognized when printed cans are delivered or when mobile filling services are performed.

 

Customer Programs

 

Customer programs, which include customer promotional discount programs, are a common practice in the alcoholic beverage industry. The Company reimburses wholesalers for an agreed amount to promote sales of products and to maintain competitive pricing. Amounts paid in connection with customer programs are recorded as reductions to net sales in accordance with ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Amounts recorded in customer programs totaled $40,302 and $43,551 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Excise Taxes

 

The Company is responsible for compliance with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (“TTB”) regulations, which includes making timely and accurate excise tax payments. The Company is subject to periodic compliance audits by the TTB. Individual states also impose excise taxes on alcoholic beverages in varying amounts. The Company calculates its excise tax expense based upon units produced and on its understanding of the applicable excise tax laws. Excise taxes totaled $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales consists of all direct costs related to both spirits and canning for service, labor, overhead, packaging, and in-bound freight charges. Raw materials account for the largest portion of the cost of sales, followed by packaging and production costs.

 

Sales and Marketing Expenses

 

Sales and marketing expenses consist of sponsorships, agency fees, digital media, salary and benefit expenses, travel and entertainment expenses. Sales and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses totaled $44,480 and $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist of salary and benefit expenses, travel and entertainment expenses for executive and administrative staff, rent and utilities, professional fees, insurance, and amortization and depreciation expense. General and administrative costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes as compensation expense all stock-based awards issued to employees. The compensation cost is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the related stock-based awards and is recognized over the service period of stock-based awards, which is generally the same as the vesting period. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which estimates the fair value of each award on the date of grant based on a variety of assumptions including expected stock price volatility, expected terms of the awards, risk-free interest rate, and dividend rates, if applicable. Stock-based awards issued to nonemployees are recorded at fair value on the measurement date and are subject to periodic market adjustments at the end of each reporting period and as the underlying stock-based awards vest.

 

Concentrations

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of the trade receivables of Bridgetown. As of September 30, 2024, two distributors represented 75% of Bridgetown trade receivables. As of December 31, 2023, three distributors represented 84% of Bridgetown trade receivables. Sales to one distributor accounted for 67% of consolidated sales by Bridgetown for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Sales to one distributor and one wholesale customer accounted for 69% of consolidated sales of Bridgetown for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. GAAP permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and contains financial statement presentation and disclosure requirements for assets and liabilities for which the fair value option is elected. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, management has not elected to report any of the Company’s assets or liabilities at fair value under the “fair value option” provided by GAAP.

The hierarchy of fair value valuation techniques under GAAP provides for three levels: Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3, if applicable, generally would require significant management judgment. The three levels for categorizing assets and liabilities under GAAP’s fair value measurement requirements are as follows:

 

  Level 1: Fair value of the asset or liability is determined using cash or unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
   Level 2: Fair value of the asset or liability is determined using inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the applicable asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar (as opposed to identical) assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
     
  Level 3: Fair value of the asset or liability is determined using unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement and reflect management’s own assumptions regarding the applicable asset or liability.

 

None of the Company’s assets or liabilities were measured at fair value as of September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. However, GAAP requires the disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments that are not measured at fair value. Financial instruments consist principally of trade receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, and the secured credit facilities. The estimated fair value of trade receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying value due to the short period of time to their maturities. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the principal amounts of the Company’s notes approximated fair value.

 

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

 

Certain assets and liabilities acquired in a business acquisition are valued at fair value at the date of acquisition due to having indefinite lives. The Company, on an annual basis, tests the indefinite life assets for impairment. If an indefinite life asset is found to be impaired, then the Company will estimate its useful life and amortize the asset over the remainder of its useful life.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories primarily consist of bulk and bottled liquor and raw materials and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using an average costing methodology, which approximates cost under the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. A portion of the Company’s finished goods inventory is held by certain independent distributors on consignment until it is sold to a third party. The Company regularly monitors inventory quantities on hand and records write-downs for excess and obsolete inventories based primarily on the Company’s estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements. Such write-downs establish a new cost basis of accounting for the related inventory.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to seven years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the life of the lease or the useful lives of the assets, whichever is shorter. The cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization of property and equipment sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reported as current period income or expense. The costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

 

Intangible Assets / Goodwill

 

The Company accounts for certain intangible assets at cost. Management reviews these intangible assets for probable impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If there is an indication of impairment, management would prepare an estimate of future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these estimated cash flows were less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss would be recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value.

Long-lived Assets

 

The Company accounts for long-lived assets, including certain intangible assets, at amortized cost. Management reviews long-lived assets for probable impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If there is an indication of impairment, management would prepare an estimate of future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these estimated cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss would be recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

The Company did not have any other comprehensive income items in either of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 or 2023.

 

Accounts Receivable Factoring Program

 

The Company had two accounts receivable factoring programs: one for its spirits customers (the “spirits program”) that had a zero balance as of September 30, 2024 and another for its co-packing customers (the “co-packing program”) that terminated in August 2023. Under the programs, the Company had the option to sell certain customer account receivables in advance of payment for 75% (spirits program) or 85% (co-packing program) of the amount due. When the customer remits payment, the Company receives the remaining balance. For the spirits program, interest is charged on the advanced 75% payment at a rate of 2.4% for the first 30 days plus 1.44% for each additional ten-day period. For the co-packing program, interest was charged against the greater of $0.5 million or the total funds advanced at a rate of 1% plus the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal. Under the terms of both agreements, the factoring provider had full recourse against the Company should the customer fail to pay the invoice. In accordance with ASC Topic 860 – Transfers and Servicing, the Company has concluded that these agreements have met all three conditions identified in ASC Topic 860-10-40-5 (a) – (c) and have accounted for this activity as a sale. Given the quality of the factored accounts, the Company had not recognized a recourse obligation. In certain limited instances, the Company may provide collection services on the factored accounts but did not receive any fees for acting as the collection agent, and as such, the Company had not recognized a service obligation asset or liability. The Company factored $0.7 million of invoices and incurred $20,821 in fees associated with the factoring programs during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

The Company has various lease agreements in place for its warehouse and copier. Terms of these leases include, in some instances, scheduled rent increases, renewals, purchase options and maintenance costs, and vary by lease. These lease obligations expire at various dates through 2026. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. As the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at commencement to determine the present value of the lease payments. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (“short-term leases”) are not recorded on the balance sheet and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As of September 30, 2024, the amount of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were each $0.4 million. Aggregate lease expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $0.2 million, consisting of $0.1 million in operating lease expense for lease liabilities and $0.1 million in short-term lease cost.

On April 19, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with accredited investors (“Subscribers”) for their purchase of up to $3.3 million of principal amount of 6% secured convertible promissory notes of the Company (“Note” or “Notes”), which notes are convertible into shares (“Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Notes with an initial conversion price of $44.00. In connection with the purchase of such Notes, each Subscriber received a warrant (“Existing Warrant”), to purchase a number of shares of common stock (“Warrant Shares”) equal to 60% of the principal amount of any Note issued to such Subscriber divided by the conversion price of the Note issued to such Subscriber, at an exercise price equal to $52.00. In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a Security Agreement under which it granted the Subscribers a security interest in certain assets of the Company (the “Security Agreement”) and a Registration Rights Agreement under which the Company agreed to register for resale the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares. Concurrently therewith, the Company and the investors closed $3.3 million of the private offering.

 

Roth Capital, LLC acted as placement agent in the private offering, and the Company paid the Placement Agent a cash fee of five percent (5%) of the gross proceeds therefrom. The Company received $3.1 million in net proceeds from the closing, after deducting the fee payable to the Placement Agent and the legal fees of the Subscribers in connection with the transaction. The Company used the proceeds to repay prior outstanding notes payable and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

Interest on the Notes accrued at a rate of 6% per annum and was payable either in cash or in shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion price in the Note on each of the six and twelve month anniversaries of the issuance date and on the maturity date of October 18, 2022.

All amounts due under the Notes are convertible at any time after the issuance date, in whole or in part (subject to rounding for fractional shares), at the option of the holders into the Company’s common stock at a fixed conversion price, which is subject to adjustment as summarized below. The Notes were initially convertible into the Company’s common stock at an initial fixed conversion price of $44.00 per share. This conversion price is subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations, or similar events, among other adjustments. On April 1, 2022, the Company and the holders agreed to a reduction of the conversion price of the 6% secured convertible promissory notes to $26.00 per share in connection with the Company’s issuance of a common stock purchase warrant to TQLA covering its loan amount of $3.5 million with a common stock value of $24.00 per share.

 

The Notes contain customary triggering events including but not limited to: (i) failure to make payments when due under the Notes; and (ii) bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company. If a triggering event occurs, each holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Notes (including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon), in cash.

 

The Notes are secured by a subordinated security interest in the Company’s assets pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement entered into between the Company and the Subscribers.

 

On October 13, 2022, the Company entered into an Amendment Agreement with the holders of the 6% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes. The Amendment Agreement changed the Maturity Date of the Notes from October 18, 2022 to November 18, 2022. In consideration of the extension, the Company issued 4,808 shares of its common stock to each of the Subscribers.

 

On September 29, 2023, the Company entered into a Debt Satisfaction Agreement with the Subscribers and other creditors, pursuant to which the Maturity Date of the Notes was extended from November 18, 2022 to March 31, 2025 and interest accrues at 9% per annum. See: Note 16, Stockholders Equity – Debt Satisfaction Agreement. Principal and interest on the Notes of $3.3 million was exchanged for equity issued to the SPV, in which the Subscribers held a 50% ownership interest, and the Notes were then amended and restated. As of September 30, 2024, the principal balance was $0.4 million and interest expense accrued was $27,451.

 

2024 Secured Notes

 

On May 15, 2024, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with the SPV, Aegis, Bigger, District 2, and LDI.

 

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Bigger, District 2 and LDI purchased from the Company for $1.1 million cash promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1.1 million (the “2024 Secured Notes”). The 2024 Secured Notes may be satisfied by payment of 110% of principal on or before November 29, 2024, by payment of 130% of principal on or before March 30, 2025 or by payment of 140% of principal on March 31, 2025.

 

With each 2024 Secured Note, the Company issued Warrants to purchase a share of the Company’s common stock for $5.00 exercisable for five years after December 2, 2024 if on November 29, 2024 the 2024 Secured Note issued to the Warrant-holder remains unsatisfied. LDI received a Warrant to purchase 598,021 shares and each of Bigger and District 2 received a Warrant to purchase 299,011 shares.

 

The Loan Agreement provides that if the 2024 Secured Notes have not been satisfied by November 29, 2024, then until March 31, 2025 each of the Subscribers will have the right to purchase a “Kicker Note” in the amount of $0.5 million for LDI or $0.3 million for each of Bigger and District 2 by surrendering debt or equity instruments specified in the Loan Agreement. The Kicker Notes will not bear interest, and may be satisfied by payment of their principal amounts on or before March 31, 2026.

 

The Company’s obligations under the 2024 Secured Notes and the Kicker Notes (collectively, the “2024 Notes”) are secured by the Company’s pledge of its assets, subject to certain specified exceptions. In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company, Aegis, Bigger and District 2 amended and restated the Intercreditor Agreement they had executed on September 29, 2023. In the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement, Aegis, Bigger and District 2 subordinate their liens on any barrels of spirits owned by the Company, and the parties agree that the net proceeds of any sale of barrels will be paid to the Subscribers in satisfaction of the 2024 Notes. Commencing when all barrels have been sold, the lien of the Subscribers under the 2024 Notes will become pari passu with the senior lien on the remaining collateral.

Legal Matters

 

On March 1, 2023, Sandstrom Partners, Inc. filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for the County of Multnomah alleging the Company failed to pay for its services pursuant to an agreement entered into on October 16, 2019. The complaint sought damages of $245,000, plus a judicial declaration, due to the Company’s failure to pay for the services. The Company believes that it paid for services rendered. On October 28, 2024, the Company signed a term sheet to settle the case.

 

On December 15, 2020, Grover Wickersham filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon against the Company. Mr. Wickersham, the former CEO and Chairman of the Board of the Company, has asserted causes of action for fraud in the inducement, breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, defamation, interference with economic advantage, elder financial abuse, and dissemination of false and misleading proxy materials. During June 2024, this case was settled.

 

The Company is not currently subject to any other material legal proceedings; however, it could be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, or legal proceedings it considered immaterial may in the future become material. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can, among other things, be time consuming and expensive to resolve, and can divert management resources.

Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without considering any dilutive items. Potentially dilutive securities consist of the incremental common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options, convertible notes and warrants. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. There were no anti-dilutive common shares included in the calculation of income (loss) per common share as of September 30, 2024 and 2023.

The dividends issued on the Company s outstanding Series B Preferred Stock are excluded from this provision.

Issuance of Series B Preferred Stock

 

On October 19, 2021, Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with an accredited investor (“Subscriber”) for its purchase of 2.5 million shares (“Preferred Shares”) of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per Preferred Share, which Preferred Shares are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in a Certificate of Designation Establishing Series B Preferred Stock of the Company with an initial conversion price of $62.00 per share. 42,500 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance in the event of conversion of the Preferred Shares.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

On September 8, 2016, the Company adopted the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). Pursuant to the terms of the plan, on January 1, 2023 the number of shares available for grant under the 2016 Plan reset to 437,993 shares, equal to 8% of the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock, calculated on an as-converted basis, on March 31 of the preceding calendar year, and then added to the prior year plan amount. As of September 30, 2024, there were 2,120 options and 196,619 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) outstanding under the 2016 Plan, with vesting schedules varying between immediate or three (3) years from the grant date.

 

A summary of all stock option activity as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is presented below:

Summary of Stock Options Activity 

   # of Options   Weighted-
Average
Exercise Price
 
Outstanding as of December 31, 2023   2,120   $57.95 
           
Outstanding and Exercisable as of September 30, 2024   2,120   $57.95 

 

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding as of September 30, 2024 was $0. As of September 30, 2024, all options had vested.

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model to measure the grant-date fair value of stock options. The grant-date fair value of stock options issued to employees is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Stock-based awards issued to nonemployees are recorded at fair value on the measurement date and are subject to periodic market adjustments as the underlying stock-based awards vest.

 

 

Eastside Distilling, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

To determine the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes valuation model, the calculation takes into consideration the effect of the following:

 

  Exercise price of the option
  Fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant
  Expected term of the option
  Expected volatility over the expected term of the option
  Risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option

 

The calculation includes several assumptions that require management’s judgment. The expected term of the options is calculated using the simplified method described in GAAP. The simplified method defines the expected term as the average of the contractual term and the vesting period. Estimated volatility is derived from volatility calculated using historical closing prices of common shares of similar entities whose share prices are publicly available for the expected term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturities in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the options.

 

The Company did not issue any additional options during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

 

Warrants

 

On May 16, 2024, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with the SPV, Aegis, Bigger, District 2, and LDI. With each 2024 Secured Note, the Company issued a Warrant to purchase a share of the Company’s common stock for $5.00 exercisable for five years after December 2, 2024 if on November 29, 2024 the 2024 Secured Note issued to the Warrant-holder remains unsatisfied. LDI received a Warrant to purchase 598,021 shares and each of Bigger and District 2 received a Warrant to purchase 299,011 shares. The Company recorded debt issuance costs of $0.3 million as of September 30, 2024.

 

The estimated fair value of the new warrants issued was based on a combination of closing market trading price on the date of issuance for the public offering warrants, and the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, using the assumptions below:

 

Volatility   100%
Risk-free interest rate   4.4%
Expected term (in years)   5.0 
Expected dividend yield    
Fair value of common stock  $0.55 

 

On March 21, 2022, the Company entered into a promissory note with TQLA LLC to accept a one year loan of $3.5 million. In addition, the Company issued a common stock purchase warrant to TQLA covering the loan amount with an exercise price of $24.00 per share. The note payable was fully repaid in October 2022. The common stock purchase warrant expires in March 2027. The warrants were amended pursuant to the Debt Satisfaction Agreement (See discussion above) to prevent any exercise that would result in the warrant-holder and affiliates acquiring cumulative voting power in excess of 9.99%. This Beneficial Ownership Limitation may be increased to 19.99% upon 61 days advance notice to the Company.

 

From April 19, 2021 through May 12, 2021, the Company issued in a private placement Existing Warrants to purchase up to 45,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $52.00 per Warrant Share.

The New Warrants have substantially the same terms as the Existing Warrants, except that the New Warrants have an exercise price of $60.00 per share and are exercisable until August 19, 2026. On September 29, 2023, pursuant to the Debt Satisfaction Agreement (see above), the exercise price of the Existing Warrants was reduced to $33.08 per share and the term during which the Existing Warrants may be exercised was extended to June 23, 2028.

 

On January 15, 2020, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) between the Company and Live Oak Banking Company (“Live Oak”), a North Carolina banking corporation (the “Lender”) to refinance existing debt of the Company and to provide funding for general working capital purposes In connection with the Loan Agreement, the Company issued to the Lender a warrant to purchase up to 5,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $78.80 per share (the “Warrant”). The Warrant expires on January 15, 2025. In connection with the issuance of the Warrant, the Company granted the Lender piggy-back registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, subject to certain exceptions.

On October 7, 2024 the Company filed with the Nevada Secretary of State a Certificate of Designation of 255,474 shares of Series D Preferred Stock and a Certificate of Designation of 200,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock and a Certificate of Designation of 70.0 million shares of Series F Preferred Stock and a Certificate of Designation of 1.0 million shares of Series F-1 Preferred Stock. The material terms of each class of Preferred Stock are:

 

Series D Preferred Stock. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock has a stated value of $10.00. The holder of Series D Preferred Stock has no voting rights by reason of those shares, except that the approval by holders of more than 50% of the outstanding Series D Preferred Stock will be required for any corporate action that would adversely affect the preferences, privileges or rights of the Series D Preferred Stock. In the event that the Company declares a dividend payable in cash or stock to holders of any class of the Company’s stock, the holder of a share of Series D Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an equivalent dividend on an as-converted basis. In the event of a liquidation of the Company, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock will share in the distribution of the Company’s net assets on an as-converted basis, subordinate only to the senior position of the Series B Preferred Stock. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock will be convertible into common stock by a conversion ratio equal to the stated value of the Series D share divided by the Series D Conversion Price. The initial Series D Conversion Price is $1.80 per common share, which is subject to equitable adjustment. The number of shares of common stock into which a holder may convert Series D Preferred Stock is limited by a Beneficial Ownership Limitation, which restricts the portion of the cumulative voting power in the Company that the holder and its affiliates may own after the conversion to 9.99%.

Series E Preferred Stock. Each share of Series E Preferred Stock has a stated value of $10.00. The holder of Series E Preferred Stock has no voting rights by reason of those shares, except that the approval by holders of more than 50% of the outstanding Series E Preferred Stock will be required for any corporate action that would adversely affect the preferences, privileges or rights of the Series E Preferred Stock. In the event that the Company declares a dividend payable in cash or stock to holders of any class of the Company’s stock, the holder of a share of Series E Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an equivalent dividend on an as-converted basis. In the event of a liquidation of the Company, the holders of Series E Preferred Stock will share in the distribution of the Company’s net assets on an as-converted basis, subordinate only to the senior position of the Series B Preferred Stock. Commencing 390 days after the closing under the Debt Agreement (the “Measurement Date”), each share of Series E Preferred Stock will be convertible into common stock by a conversion ratio equal to the stated value of the Series E share divided by the Series E Conversion Price. The Series E Conversion Price on and after the Measurement Date will equal the average of the VWAPs for the five trading days immediately preceding the Measurement Date, subject to a “Floor Price” of $0.25 per share. The Series E Conversion Price and the Floor Price will be subject to equitable adjustment in the event of stock splits and the like. The number of shares of common stock into which a holder may convert Series E Preferred Stock is limited by a Beneficial Ownership Limitation, which restricts the portion of the cumulative voting power in the Company that the holder and its affiliates may own after the conversion to 9.99%.

 

Series F Preferred Stock. Each share of Series F Preferred Stock has a stated value of $0.50. The holder of Series F Preferred Stock has no voting rights by reason of those shares, except that the approval by holders of more than 50% of the outstanding Series F Preferred Stock will be required for any corporate action that would adversely affect the preferences, privileges or rights of the Series F Preferred Stock. In the event that the Company declares a dividend payable in cash or stock to holders of any class of the Company’s stock, the holder of a share of Series F Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an equivalent dividend on an as-converted basis. In the event of a liquidation of the Company, the holders of Series F Preferred Stock will share in the distribution of the Company’s net assets on an as-converted basis, subordinate only to the senior position of the Series B Preferred Stock.

 

Series F-1 Preferred Stock. The material terms of the Series F-1 Preferred Stock are identical to the material terms of the Series F Preferred Stock, except that holders of Series F-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to case one vote per share at any meeting of the Company’s shareholders.

 

Shareholder Approval. If the shareholders of the Company approve the conversion of the Series F and the Series F-1 Preferred Stock at a meeting to be called for that purpose, each such share will be convertible into common stock by a conversion ratio equal to the stated value of the Series F or F-1 share divided by the Series F Conversion Price. The initial Series F Conversion Price is $0.50 per common share, which is subject to a “Floor Price” equal to 20% of the “Minimum Price” as defined in the Nasdaq Rules. The Series F Conversion Price and the Floor Price are subject to equitable adjustment. In addition, if during the next two years the sum of the common shares outstanding on October 7, 2024 plus shares issuable on conversion of Preferred Stock plus shares issuable on conversion of securities issued in the initial financing of the post-merger company plus shares issued to settle pre-existing liabilities (collectively, the “Measuring Shares”) exceeds 14,848,485, then the Series F Conversion Price will be adjusted to retain the ratio of common share issuable on conversion to the Measuring Shares. Likewise, if the number of Measuring Shares on October 7, 2025 is less than 14,848,485, then the Series F Conversion Price will be adjusted to retain the ration of the Measuring Shares to the number of shares issuable on conversion. The number of shares of common stock into which a holder (other than a holder otherwise subject to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act) may convert Series F or Series F-1 Preferred Stock will be limited by a Beneficial Ownership Limitation, which restricts the portion of the cumulative voting power in the Company that the holder and its affiliates may own after the conversion to 4.99%.

 

Series C Preferred Stock

 

On October 25, 2024, the SPV transferred its remaining Series C Preferred Stock, 117,586 shares, to members in proportion to the membership interest of each. These shares were then converted to 1.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock.

Senior Secured Notes

 

Purchase Agreement

 

On November 14, 2024, the Company sold $1.9 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes (the “Notes”) and Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase a total of 363,602 shares of common stock (the “Warrants”) for total gross proceeds of $1.6 million in a private placement offering (the “Offering”).The Notes and Warrants were sold pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with accredited investors (each, an “Investor” and together the “Investors”).

 

The Notes have a maturity date of 120 days from issuance, were issued with a 20% original issue discount and do not bear interest unless and until one or more of the customary events of default set forth therein occurs, whereupon each Note will bear interest at a rate of 18% per annum. If the Note remains outstanding for 180 days, the Note also requires a special one-time interest payment of 30% which will increase the principal of each Note accordingly. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, each Investor also has the right to require the Company to pay all or any portion of the Note at a 25% premium. Further, the Company is required to prepay the Notes in connection with certain sales of securities or assets at each Investor’s election in an amount equal to 35% of the gross proceeds from such sales. The Company also has the right to prepay all, but not less than all, of the outstanding amounts under the Notes, at its election. The Notes contain certain restrictive covenants, including covenants precluding the Company and its subsidiaries from incurring indebtedness, transferring assets, changing the nature of its business, and engaging in certain other actions, subject to certain exceptions.

 

The Warrants have a term of five years from issuance and are exercisable at an exercise price of $0.50 per share (of which $0.499 per share was pre-funded by each Investor). The Warrants will be exercisable beginning upon shareholder approval of the issuance of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrants in accordance with the rules of The Nasdaq Capital Market and an increase in the authorized Common Stock of the Company. If at any time after exercising the Warrants, there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use, then the Warrants may also be exercised, in whole or in part, by means of a “cashless exercise.”

 

The Company also entered in three forms of side letters with the Investors which (i) permitted one Investor which with an affiliate invested $0.4 million to exchange that amount of stated value of shares of Series F Preferred Stock for a $0.4 million 120-day promissory note to another affiliate, which note was issued immediately prior to the closing of the Offering and has substantially identical terms to the Notes issued therein, except it is subordinated with respect to its security interest, (ii) permit two Investors to convert Series D Preferred Stock beginning on April 7, 2025, and (iii) permit two Investors to receive a number of shares of Series F equal to 50% of their investment amount, or $0.1 million each, using the stated value of the Series F Preferred Stock, which is $0.50 per share, to determine the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock.

 

Promissory Note

 

On October 30, 2024, the Company entered into a Promissory Note with LDI for $0.3 million. A balloon payment of the entire outstanding principal balance of the indebtedness together with all accrued interest shall be due and payable in full on November 24, 2024, totaling $0.4 million.

 

Employment Agreement: Chief Executive Officer

 

The Merger Agreement provided that, as a condition to closing of the Merger, The Employment Agreement between the Company and Geoffrey Gwin, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, would be amended in a manner satisfactory to the Company, Beeline and Mr. Gwin. Accordingly, at the time of the Merger, the Company’s Employment Agreement with Geoffrey Gwin was amended as follows:

 

  The performance bonuses in the Employment Agreement were replaced by a bonus of $90,000. On October 15, 2024, the Company issued 180,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Gwin at $0.50 per share in satisfaction of the Company’s bonus obligation.
  The Company issued 400,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Gwin, which will vest on the earlier of March 31, 2025 or the date on which Mr. Gwin’s employment is terminated without cause.
  The Company covenanted that, in the event that the conversion price of the Series F Preferred Stock is reduced, the Company will issue to Mr. Gwin a number of common shares equal to one percent of the additional shares issued as a result of the adjustment.
  The Company agreed to issue 100,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Gwin if he is terminated by the Company without cause.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for Eastside Distilling, Inc. and subsidiaries were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or eliminated as permitted under the SEC’s rules and regulations. In management’s opinion, the unaudited consolidated financial statements include all material adjustments, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2024, its operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for an entire fiscal year. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Eastside Distilling, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Bridgetown. The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of two other wholly-owned subsidiaries, Craft Canning + Bottling, LLC (doing business as Craft Canning + Printing) and Galactic Unicorn Packaging, LLC, presented as assets and liabilities held for sale. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

 

Net sales include product sales, less excise taxes and customer programs and incentives. The Company recognizes revenue by applying the following steps in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company recognizes spirits sales when merchandise is shipped from a warehouse directly to wholesale customers (except in the case of a consignment sale). For consignment sales, which include sales to the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, the Company recognizes sales upon the consignee’s shipment to the customer. Postage and handling charges billed to customers are also recognized as sales upon shipment of the related merchandise. Shipping terms are generally FOB shipping point, and title passes to the customer at the time and place of shipment or purchase by customers at a retail location. For consignment sales, title passes to the consignee concurrent with the consignee’s shipment to the customer. The customer has no cancellation privileges after shipment or upon purchase at retail locations, other than customary rights of return.

 

In the Craft C+P segment, sales are recognized when printed cans are delivered or when mobile filling services are performed.

 

Customer Programs

Customer Programs

 

Customer programs, which include customer promotional discount programs, are a common practice in the alcoholic beverage industry. The Company reimburses wholesalers for an agreed amount to promote sales of products and to maintain competitive pricing. Amounts paid in connection with customer programs are recorded as reductions to net sales in accordance with ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Amounts recorded in customer programs totaled $40,302 and $43,551 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Excise Taxes

Excise Taxes

 

The Company is responsible for compliance with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (“TTB”) regulations, which includes making timely and accurate excise tax payments. The Company is subject to periodic compliance audits by the TTB. Individual states also impose excise taxes on alcoholic beverages in varying amounts. The Company calculates its excise tax expense based upon units produced and on its understanding of the applicable excise tax laws. Excise taxes totaled $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Cost of Sales

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales consists of all direct costs related to both spirits and canning for service, labor, overhead, packaging, and in-bound freight charges. Raw materials account for the largest portion of the cost of sales, followed by packaging and production costs.

 

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and Marketing Expenses

 

Sales and marketing expenses consist of sponsorships, agency fees, digital media, salary and benefit expenses, travel and entertainment expenses. Sales and marketing costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses totaled $44,480 and $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist of salary and benefit expenses, travel and entertainment expenses for executive and administrative staff, rent and utilities, professional fees, insurance, and amortization and depreciation expense. General and administrative costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company recognizes as compensation expense all stock-based awards issued to employees. The compensation cost is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the related stock-based awards and is recognized over the service period of stock-based awards, which is generally the same as the vesting period. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which estimates the fair value of each award on the date of grant based on a variety of assumptions including expected stock price volatility, expected terms of the awards, risk-free interest rate, and dividend rates, if applicable. Stock-based awards issued to nonemployees are recorded at fair value on the measurement date and are subject to periodic market adjustments at the end of each reporting period and as the underlying stock-based awards vest.

 

Concentrations

Concentrations

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of the trade receivables of Bridgetown. As of September 30, 2024, two distributors represented 75% of Bridgetown trade receivables. As of December 31, 2023, three distributors represented 84% of Bridgetown trade receivables. Sales to one distributor accounted for 67% of consolidated sales by Bridgetown for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Sales to one distributor and one wholesale customer accounted for 69% of consolidated sales of Bridgetown for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

 

GAAP defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. GAAP permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and contains financial statement presentation and disclosure requirements for assets and liabilities for which the fair value option is elected. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, management has not elected to report any of the Company’s assets or liabilities at fair value under the “fair value option” provided by GAAP.

(Unaudited)

 

The hierarchy of fair value valuation techniques under GAAP provides for three levels: Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3, if applicable, generally would require significant management judgment. The three levels for categorizing assets and liabilities under GAAP’s fair value measurement requirements are as follows:

 

  Level 1: Fair value of the asset or liability is determined using cash or unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
   Level 2: Fair value of the asset or liability is determined using inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the applicable asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar (as opposed to identical) assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
     
  Level 3: Fair value of the asset or liability is determined using unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement and reflect management’s own assumptions regarding the applicable asset or liability.

 

None of the Company’s assets or liabilities were measured at fair value as of September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. However, GAAP requires the disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments that are not measured at fair value. Financial instruments consist principally of trade receivables, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, and the secured credit facilities. The estimated fair value of trade receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their carrying value due to the short period of time to their maturities. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the principal amounts of the Company’s notes approximated fair value.

 

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

 

Certain assets and liabilities acquired in a business acquisition are valued at fair value at the date of acquisition due to having indefinite lives. The Company, on an annual basis, tests the indefinite life assets for impairment. If an indefinite life asset is found to be impaired, then the Company will estimate its useful life and amortize the asset over the remainder of its useful life.

 

Inventories

Inventories

 

Inventories primarily consist of bulk and bottled liquor and raw materials and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using an average costing methodology, which approximates cost under the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. A portion of the Company’s finished goods inventory is held by certain independent distributors on consignment until it is sold to a third party. The Company regularly monitors inventory quantities on hand and records write-downs for excess and obsolete inventories based primarily on the Company’s estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements. Such write-downs establish a new cost basis of accounting for the related inventory.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to seven years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the life of the lease or the useful lives of the assets, whichever is shorter. The cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization of property and equipment sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reported as current period income or expense. The costs of repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

 

Intangible Assets / Goodwill

Intangible Assets / Goodwill

 

The Company accounts for certain intangible assets at cost. Management reviews these intangible assets for probable impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If there is an indication of impairment, management would prepare an estimate of future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these estimated cash flows were less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss would be recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value.

Long-lived Assets

Long-lived Assets

 

The Company accounts for long-lived assets, including certain intangible assets, at amortized cost. Management reviews long-lived assets for probable impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If there is an indication of impairment, management would prepare an estimate of future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these estimated cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss would be recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value.

 

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive Income

 

The Company did not have any other comprehensive income items in either of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 or 2023.

 

Accounts Receivable Factoring Program

Accounts Receivable Factoring Program

 

The Company had two accounts receivable factoring programs: one for its spirits customers (the “spirits program”) that had a zero balance as of September 30, 2024 and another for its co-packing customers (the “co-packing program”) that terminated in August 2023. Under the programs, the Company had the option to sell certain customer account receivables in advance of payment for 75% (spirits program) or 85% (co-packing program) of the amount due. When the customer remits payment, the Company receives the remaining balance. For the spirits program, interest is charged on the advanced 75% payment at a rate of 2.4% for the first 30 days plus 1.44% for each additional ten-day period. For the co-packing program, interest was charged against the greater of $0.5 million or the total funds advanced at a rate of 1% plus the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal. Under the terms of both agreements, the factoring provider had full recourse against the Company should the customer fail to pay the invoice. In accordance with ASC Topic 860 – Transfers and Servicing, the Company has concluded that these agreements have met all three conditions identified in ASC Topic 860-10-40-5 (a) – (c) and have accounted for this activity as a sale. Given the quality of the factored accounts, the Company had not recognized a recourse obligation. In certain limited instances, the Company may provide collection services on the factored accounts but did not receive any fees for acting as the collection agent, and as such, the Company had not recognized a service obligation asset or liability. The Company factored $0.7 million of invoices and incurred $20,821 in fees associated with the factoring programs during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Stock conversion, description     If the shareholders of the Company approve the conversion of the Series F and the Series F-1 Preferred Stock at a meeting to be called for that purpose, each such share will be convertible into common stock by a conversion ratio equal to the stated value of the Series F or F-1 share divided by the Series F Conversion Price. The initial Series F Conversion Price is $0.50 per common share, which is subject to a “Floor Price” equal to 20% of the “Minimum Price” as defined in the Nasdaq Rules. The Series F Conversion Price and the Floor Price are subject to equitable adjustment. In addition, if during the next two years the sum of the common shares outstanding on October 7, 2024 plus shares issuable on conversion of Preferred Stock plus shares issuable on conversion of securities issued in the initial financing of the post-merger company plus shares issued to settle pre-existing liabilities (collectively, the “Measuring Shares”) exceeds 14,848,485, then the Series F Conversion Price will be adjusted to retain the ratio of common share issuable on conversion to the Measuring Shares. Likewise, if the number of Measuring Shares on October 7, 2025 is less than 14,848,485, then the Series F Conversion Price will be adjusted to retain the ration of the Measuring Shares to the number of shares issuable on conversion.

Issuance interest terms 20% original issue discount and do not bear interest unless and until one or more of the customary events of default set forth therein occurs, whereupon each Note will bear interest at a rate of 18% per annum. If the Note remains outstanding for 180 days, the Note also requires a special one-time interest payment of 30% which will increase the principal of each Note accordingly. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, each Investor also has the right to require the Company to pay all or any portion of the Note at a 25% premium. Further, the Company is required to prepay the Notes in connection with certain sales of securities or assets at each Investor’s election in an amount equal to 35% of the gross proceeds from such sales. The Company also has the right to prepay all, but not less than all, of the outstanding amounts under the Notes, at its election.
