EXPLANATORY NOTE

Unless otherwise noted, references in this quarterly report

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) is filed by Better Choice Company Inc. (“Better Choice Company”) and as discussed in more detail in our Transition Report on Form 10-KT, filed on July 25, 2019, the Company completed its acquisitions (the “Report”“Acquisitions”) of TruPet LLC (“TruPet”) and Bona Vida, Inc. (“Bona Vida”). The Acquisition of TruPet is treated as a reverse merger with TruPet determined to be the accounting acquirer of the Company. As such, the historical financial statements prior to the “Company,” “we,” “our”Acquisitions are those of TruPet and TruPet’s equity has been re-cast to reflect shares of Better Choice Company common stock received in the acquisitions. The acquisition of Bona Vida is treated as an asset acquisition. Unless otherwise stated or “us” means Sport Endurance, Inc.

the context otherwise requires, the historical business information described in this Quarterly Report prior to consummation of the Acquisitions is that of TruPet and, following consummation of the Acquisitions, reflects business information of the Company, TruPet and Bona Vida as a combined business.
 
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including statements regarding our expectations and projections regarding future developments, operations and financial conditions, and the anticipated impact of our acquisitions, business strategy, and strategic priorities. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,”   “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are only predictions and are based largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any of our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and inherent risks and uncertainties.
These forward-looking statements present our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this Quarterly Report. Accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they are made. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise. You should, however, consult further disclosures we make in future filings and public disclosures, including without limitation, our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Transition Report on Form 10-KT, Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q and Current Reports on Forms 8-K.

Our products are formulated and manufactured using only high-quality ingredients manufactured, tested and packaged to our specifications. The Company operations include those of its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, TruPet and Bona Vida. TruPet is a North American online seller of pet foods, pet nutritional products and related pet supplies. Bona Vida is an emerging hemp-based CBD platform focused on developing a portfolio of brand and product verticals within the animal health and wellness space. The majority of our products are sold online directly to consumers with additional sales through online retailers and pet specialty stores. We were incorporatedhave a limited selection of CBD infused canine products available on our Bona Vida website.  The information contained in, or accessible through, these websites does not constitute a part of this Quarterly Report.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
On May 6, 2019, Better Choice Company, Inc. completed the Stateacquisition, for TruPet LLC (“TruPet”) and Bona Vida Inc. (“Bona Vida”) in a pair of Nevada in 2001, and in 2009 changed our name to Sport Endurance, Inc.

Mr. David Lelong has beenall stock transactions (the “Acquisitions”) through the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer since February 4, 2016 and the Company’s sole director since April 25, 2016.

On March 14, 2018,issuance of 32,332,314 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 of the Company through its wholly-owned subsidiary Yield Endurance, Inc. (“Yield”(the “Common Stock”), entered into a series.  Following the completion of agreements under which Yield borrowed $5 million of bitcoin (“BTC”). The Company simultaneously entered into transactions with Madison Partners LLC and Prism Funding Co. LP to lend the BTC to third parties. On August 21, 2018,Acquisitions, the business conducted by the Company entered into a series of restructuring agreements to unwindbecame primarily the BTC transactions thereby exiting the BTCbusinesses conducted by TruPet and cryptocurrency markets.

Bona Vida.

The Company is currently seeking to enter into the cannabidiol (“CBD”), hemp, or legal marijuana industriesacquirer of TruPet and market various products in one of those industries. As ofBona Vida. However, the date of this report,Acquisitions were treated as a reverse acquisition whereby TruPet acquired the Company has no written agreements to acquire any businesses. However, on December 17, 2018, the Company used a substantial portion of the proceeds from its recent private placement and acquired a minority interest in a privately-held business engaged in the animal health foods business which marketsBona Vida for accounting and sells products using marijuana for veterinary medicalfinancial reporting purposes. We also are engaged in preliminary discussions to acquire that business. We do not have any binding agreements and in any event we would need to complete a large financing. We cannot assure you we will be successful in making any acquisitions.

In December 2018 we closed on a private placement where we received approximately $2.8 million before fees from the sale of units of common stock and warrants. As a result, of raising this capital we believe that we are in a position to make an acquisition which can deliver shareholder value.

Our auditors note that the absence of revenues and operations, in the audit reportfinancial statements for the year ended August 31, 2018 dated December 21, 2018, is a going concern.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the 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. Management utilizes various other estimates, including but not limited to determining the collectability of accounts receivable, the fair value of warrants issued, the fair value of conversion features, the recognition of revenue, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and other legal claims and contingencies. The results of any changes in accounting estimates are reflected in the financial statements in the period in which the changes become evident. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary.

Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits held with banks and highly liquid investments with initialoriginal maturities of three monthsninety days or less.  less at acquisition date.

Accounts receivable is stated at credit-worthy financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000.  Deposits with these banks may exceed the amount billed to customers, net of insurance providedpoint of sale discounts.

Inventories, primarily consisting of finished goodsproducts available for sale and is statedsupplies, are valued using the first-in first-out (“FIFO”) method and are recorded at the lower of cost by the first-in, first-out method or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a standard cost basis and includes the purchase price, as well as inbound freight costs and packaging costs.

The Company currently had approximately 2,432 containersregularly reviews inventory quantities on hand.  Excess or obsolete reserves are established when inventory is estimated to not be sellable before expiration dates based on forecasted usage, product demand and product life cycle.  Additionally, inventory valuation reflects adjustments for anticipated physical inventory losses, such as shrink, that have occurred since the last physical inventory.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of “Ultra Peak T” includedthe assets. Depreciable lives are as follows:

Furniture and Fixtures5 to 7 years
Equipment7 years

Expenditures for normal repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. The cost of property or equipment retired or otherwise disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the property and equipment accounts in inventorythe year of disposal with the resulting gain or loss reflected in general and administrative expenses.

The Company assesses potential impairments of its property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset’s carrying value may not be recoverable. An impairment charge would be recognized when the carrying amount of property and equipment is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of property and equipment is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the property and equipment.  No impairment charges have been incurred for property and equipment for any period presented.

License Intangibles

Intangible assets acquired are carried at November 30, 2018cost, less accumulated amortization. The Company reviews finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable and August 31, 2018.

Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue(ASC) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from ContractsEquity (ASC 480), preferred stock issued with Customers (ASC 606) usingredemption provisions that are outside of the modified retrospective (cumulative effect) transition method. Under this transition method, results for reporting periods beginning September 1, 2018control of the Company or later are presented under ASC 606, while prior period results continuethat contain certain redemption rights in a deemed liquidation event is required to be reportedpresented outside of stockholders’ deficit on the face of the consolidated balance sheet.

Changes in the redemption value of the redeemable convertible preferred stock, if any, are recorded immediately in the period occurred as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet.
Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded in accordance with previous guidance. The cumulative effect of the initial application ofFASB ASC 606 was immaterial, no adjustment was recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. The timing of revenue recognitionTopic 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740), which provides for our revenue stream was not materially impacted by the adoption of this standard.deferred taxes using an asset and liability approach. The Company believes its business processes, systems, and controls are appropriate to support recognition and disclosure under ASC 606. In addition, the adoption has led to increased footnote disclosures. Overall, the adoption of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed balance sheet, statement of operations and statement of cash flows for the three months ended November 30, 2018. ASC 606 also requires additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill a contract. As described below, the analysis of contracts under ASC 606 supports the recognition of revenue at a point in time, resulting in revenue recognition timing that is materially consistent with the Company’s historical practice of recognizing product revenue when title and risk of loss pass to the customer.

Policy

The Company recognizes revenue upon product delivery. All of our products are shipped through a third party fulfillment center to the customer and the customer takes title to product and assumes risk and ownership of the product when it is delivered. Shipping charges to customers and sales taxes collectible from customers, if any, are included in revenues.

For revenue from product sales, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board “FASB” Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” 606.

Contract Assets

The Company does not have any contract assets such as work-in-process. All trade receivables on the Company’s condensed balance sheet are from contracts with customers.

Contract Costs

Costs incurred to obtain a contract are capitalized unless short term in nature. As a practical expedient, costs to obtain a contract that are short term in nature are expensed as incurred. The Company does not have any contract costs capitalized as of November 30, 2018.

Contract Liabilities - Deferred Revenue

The Company’s contract liabilities may consist of advance customer payments and deferred revenue. Deferred revenue results from transactions in which the Company has been paid for products by customers, but for which all revenue recognition criteria have not yet been met. Once all revenue recognition criteria have been met, the deferred revenues are recognized.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxesDeferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized fordetermined based on the tax consequences in future years of differencesdifference between the consolidated financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based onfor loss and credit carryforwards using enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicableanticipated to be in effect for the periodsyear in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.reverse. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduceprovided, if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all the deferred tax assets to the amount expected towill not be realized.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Accounting guidance addresses740. When uncertain tax positions exist, the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the consolidated financial statements, under which a company may recognizeCompany recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertainof tax position only if it ispositions to the extent that some or all the benefit will more likely than not thatbe realized. The determination as to whether the tax positionbenefit will more likely than not be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities,realized is based onupon the technical merits of the position.

The tax benefits recognized inposition, as well as consideration of the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based onavailable facts and circumstances. As of September 30, 2019, and 2018, the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Accordingly,Company does not have any significant uncertain tax positions. If incurred, the Company would report a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting fromclassify interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions taken or expectedas income tax expense.

Revenue

The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be takenentitled in a tax return. The Company electsexchange for those goods.

In order to recognize any interestrevenue, the Company applies the following five (5) steps:

Identify a customer along with a corresponding contract;
Identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract to transfer goods to a customer;
Determine the transaction price the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring promised goods to a customer;
Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted

The Tax Act reducesAccordingly all periods presented reflect the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Under FASB ASC 820-10-05,


A financial instrument is defined as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity, or a contract that both:

Imposes on one entity a contractual obligation either:

oTo deliver cash or another financial instrument to a second entity; or

oTo exchange other financial instruments on potentially unfavorable terms with the second entity.
Conveys to that second entity a contractual right either:

oTo receive cash or another financial instrument from the first entity; or

oTo exchange other financial instruments on potentially favorable terms with the first entity.

The Company’s financial instruments recognized on the FASB establishesbalance sheets consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, deposits, accounts payable, line of credit, due to related party, accrued and other liabilities, and warrant derivative liability. The warrant derivative liability is measured, due to their short term nature, at fair value each reporting period. The fair values of the remaining financial instruments approximate their carrying values.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company has applied the framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures aboutwhich requires a fair value hierarchy to be applied to all fair value measurements.  This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheet are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments.   

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820–10 “Fair Value Measurement” of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification to measure the fair value of itsthe warrant derivative liability is considered a Level 3 financial instruments and disclosures aboutinstrument.


The Company uses applicable guidance for defining fair value, the initial recording and periodic remeasurement of its financial instruments. ASC 820–10 establishes a framework for measuringcertain assets and liabilities measured at fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures ASC 820–10for instruments measured at fair value. Fair value accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels.

An instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the instrument’s fair value measurement. The Company measures assets and liabilities using inputs from the following three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820–10 are described below: 

hierarchy:

Level 1 - fair value measurements are those derived fromObservable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices (unadjusted in active markets for identical assets or liabilities);

liabilities.


Level 2 - fair value measurements are those derived from inputsInputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices);indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar 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 measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that includeUnobservable inputs for the asset or liability for which there is little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about what market participants would use to price the asset or liability. The inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which may include the Company’s own financial data, such as internally developed pricing models, DCF methodologies, as well as instruments for which the fair value determination requires significant management judgment.

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

Basic and diluted loss per share has been determined by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the applicable period by the basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding, respectively. Common Stock equivalents and incentive shares are excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share when their effect is anti-dilutive.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes a compensation expense for all equity–based payments in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. The Company follows the fair value method of accounting for stock awards granted to employees, directors, officers and consultants. Share-based awards to employees are measured at the fair value of the related share-based awards on grant date. The Company recognizes share-based payment expenses over the vesting period based on the number of awards expected to vest over that period on a straight-line basis. The Company’s share-based compensation awards are subject only to service based vesting conditions. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.

The fair value of an option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black–Scholes option valuation model. The Black–Scholes option valuation model requires the development of assumptions that are inputs into the model. These assumptions are the expected stock volatility, the risk–free interest rate, the expected life of the option and the dividend yield on the underlying stock. Expected volatility is calculated based on the analysis of other public companies within the pet wellness, Internet commerce, and hemp derived CBD sectors. Risk–free interest rates are calculated based on continuously compounded risk–free rates for the appropriate term. The expected life is calculated as the mid-point between the vested date and the contractual expiration of the option as it factors in early exercise typically seen with employee options.  The graded vesting period was incorporated into the calculation of the adjusted term.
Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards requires the input of the subjective assumptions described above. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of equity–based payment awards represent management’s best estimates, which involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods.

The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis. The Company bases its estimates on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Company’s results can also be affected by economic, political, legislative, regulatory and legal actions. Economic conditions, such as recessionary trends, inflation, interest and monetary exchange rates, and government fiscal policies, can have a significant effect on operations. While the Company maintains reserves for anticipated liabilities and carries various levels of insurance, the Company could be affected by civil, criminal, regulatory or administrative actions, claims or proceedings.
Significant changes to the key assumptions used in the valuations could result in different fair values of equity instruments at each valuation date.

Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. To date, the Company has viewed its operations and manages its business as one segment operating in the United States of America. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker reviews operating results on an aggregated basis. All the assets and operations of the Company are in the United States.

Commitments and Contingencies

We may be involved in legal proceedings, claims, and regulatory, tax, or government inquiries and investigations that arise in the ordinary course of business resulting in loss contingencies. We accrue for loss contingencies when losses become probable and are reasonably estimable. If the reasonable estimate of the loss is a range and no amount within the range is a better estimate, the minimum amount of the range is recorded as a liability. Legal costs such as outside counsel fees and expenses are charged to expense in the period incurred and are recorded in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

We do not accrue for contingent losses that are considered to be reasonably possible, but not probable; however, we disclose the range of such reasonably possible losses. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed.

We have entered into lease, royalty and line of credit agreements for which we are committed to pay certain amounts over a period of time.  See Notes 8, 9, and 10.

In connection with the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, the Company identified an error as of  December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019, related to an understatement of sales taxes due and payable of $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The error was corrected during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019. The Company believes that the correction of this error is not material to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019.
Reclassification of Prior Period Presentation

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior period data to the current presentations. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has reviewed the Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof issued by the FASB that have effective dates during the reporting period and in future periods.

Recently adopted:

Adoption of FASB ASC Topic 842 “Leases”

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (’ FASB’) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842) ” (“ASU 2016-02”), which amends leasing guidance by requiring companies to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all operating and financing leases with lease terms greater than twelve months. The lease liability is equal to the present value of lease payments. The right-of-use lease asset is based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Financial instrumentsthe lease liability, subject to adjustment for prepaid and deferred rent and tenant incentives. For income statement purposes, leases will continue to be classified as Leveloperating or financing with lease expense in both cases calculated substantially the same as under the prior leasing guidance.


The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in recognition of right-of-use assets of $0.4 million and operating lease liabilities of $0.4 million as of January 1, - quoted prices2019.  The Company adopted the optional transition method that gives companies the option to use the adoption date as the initial application on transition.  Accordingly, results for reporting periods beginning prior to January 1, 2019 continue to be reported in active markets include cash.

These financial instruments are measured using management’s best estimateaccordance with our historical treatment.  The adoption of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment to estimation. Valuations based on unobservable inputs are highly subjective and require significant judgments. Changes in such judgments couldASC 842 did not have a material impact on fair value estimates. In addition, since estimates are asthe Company’s results of a specific point in time, they are susceptibleoperations or cash flows (See “Note 8 – Operating Leases” ).


Adoption of FASB ASU No. 2018-07 “Improvements to material near-term changes. Changes in economic conditions may also dramatically affect the estimated fair values.

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of November 30, 2018 and August 31, 2018. The respective carrying value of certain financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Derivative Financial InstrumentsNonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting”

ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re- measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as described.

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that


On January 1, 2019, the Company record the embedded conversion option and warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

The pricing model we use for determining fair value of our derivatives is the Lattice Model. Valuations derived from this model are subject to ongoing internal and external verification and review. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest rates and stock price volatilities. Selection of these inputs involves management’s judgment and may impact net income (see note 7).

Conversion options are recorded as debt discount and are amortized as interest expense over the life of the underlying debt instrument using effective interest method.

Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share

The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) adjusted on an “as if converted” basis, by the weighted average number of common stock outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. At November 30, 2018 and 2017, there were 94,923,333 and 1,578,896 shares issuable, respectively, pursuant to our convertible notes and convertible preferred stock. The following is a reconciliation of the number of shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended November 30, 2018, and 2017:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, FASB issuedadopted ASU No. 2016–02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which creates new accounting and reporting guidelines for leasing arrangements. The new guidance requires organizations that lease assets2018-07 “Improvements to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases, regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The guidance also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new pronouncement on its unaudited condensed financial statements.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Non-controlling Interests with a Scope Exception”. Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests. The amendments in Part II of this update do not have an accounting effect. ASU 2017-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has determined that adopting this pronouncement will not have a material effect on its unaudited condensed financial statements.


ASU 2018-02 - On December 22, 2017, the U.S. federal government enacted a tax bill, H.R.1, An Act to Provide for Reconciliation Pursuant to Titles II and V of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2018 (Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017). Stakeholders raised a narrow-scope financial reporting issue that arose as a consequence of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The amendments in this Update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The amendments in this Update affect any entity that is required to apply the provisions of Topic 220, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income, and has items of other comprehensive income for which the related tax effects are presented in other comprehensive income as required by GAAP.Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The amendments in this update is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, (1) for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized.

This Accounting Standards Update is the final version of Proposed Accounting Standards Update 2018-210—Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), which has been deleted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2017-13 on our unaudited condensed financial statements.

ASU 2018-05 Accounting Standards Update adds SEC paragraphs pursuant to the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, which expresses the view of the staff regarding application of Topic 740, Income Taxes, in the reporting period that includes December 22, 2017 - the date on which the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (H.R.1, An Act to Provide for Reconciliation Pursuant to Titles II and V of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2018) was signed into law. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2017-13 on our unaudited condensed financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which expandsexpanded the scope of TopicASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees.non-employees. The requirements of ASC 718 are applied to nonemployee awards except for specific guidance is effectiveon inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost. The amendments specify that ASC 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that ASC 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for public entities, certain not-for-profit entities, and certain employee benefit plans for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. For all other entities, ASU 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”


The Company is evaluatingtreating the inclusion of share-based payments to non-employees as a change in accounting principle prospectively beginning in the period ending January 1, 2019.  As the Company did not make any share-based payments to non-employees in prior periods, there was no impact on the results of adopting this pronouncement.

operations in prior periods.


Adoption of ASU 2018-13 “Fair Value Measurement”

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair“Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Changes to the Disclosure RequirementsRequirement for Fair Value Measurement.

The amendments in this Update modifyMeasurement” which amends ASC 820 to expand the disclosure requirements ondisclosures required for items subject to Level 3, fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement.

Removals

The following disclosure requirements were removed from Topic 820:

1.

The amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy

2.

The policy for timing of transfers between levels

3.

The valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements

4.

For nonpublic entities, the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in earnings for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period.

Modifications

The following disclosure requirements were modified in Topic 820:

1.

In lieu of a rollforward for Level 3 fair value measurements, a nonpublic entityremeasurement, including the underlying assumptions.  ASU 2018-13 is required to disclose transfers into and out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy and purchases and issues of Level 3 assets and liabilities.

2.

For investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value, an entity is required to disclose the timing of liquidation of an investee’s assets and the date when restrictions from redemption might lapse only if the investee has communicated the timing to the entity or announced the timing publicly.

3.

The amendments clarify that the measurement uncertainty disclosure is to communicate information about the uncertainty in measurement as of the reporting date.

Additions

The following disclosure requirements were added to Topic 820; however, the disclosures are not required for nonpublic entities:

1.

The changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period

2.

The range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative information (such as the median or arithmetic average) in lieu of the weighted average if the entity determines that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements.

In addition, the amendments eliminate at a minimum from the phrase an entity shall disclose at a minimum to promote the appropriate exercise of discretion by entities when considering fair value measurement disclosures and to clarify that materiality is an appropriate consideration of entities and their auditors when evaluating disclosure requirements.

The amendments in this Update are effective for all entitiespublic companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.  The Company has early adopted the disclosures as of January 1, 2019 as permitted under the ASU.   As this standard only requires additional disclosures, there is no financial statement impact of its adoption.


Issued but not Yet Adopted:

ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)”

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326),” a new standard to replace the incurred loss impairment methodology under current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2021, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2018-15 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)”

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)” to amend ASU 2015-05 in an effort to provide additional guidance on the accounting for costs implementation activities performed in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract.  The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses,this update align the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs usedrequirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop Level 3or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license).  The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments in this update.  The amendments in this update also require the entity to present the expense related to the capitalized implementation costs in the same line item in the statement of income as the fees associated with the hosting element (service) of the arrangement and classify payments for capitalizing implementation costs in the statement of cash flows in the same manner as payments made for fees associated with the hosting element.  The entity is also required to present the capitalized implementation costs in the statement of financial position in the same line item that a prepayment for the fees of the associated hosting arrangement would be presented. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2021, and early adoption is permitted.  The Company believes that current practices of capitalization vs expensing IT costs are in line with this guidance, however, the amendment will require the Company to change presentation within the statement of cash flows. The Company currently has no internal use software and expects this accounting standard will have no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company has carefully considered other new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the Company’s reported balance sheet or operations in 2019.

Note 2 - Acquisitions

On May 6, 2019, the Company completed the Acquisitions through the issuance of 32,332,314 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 of the Company (the “Common Stock”).  Following the completion of the Acquisitions, the operations of the Company are primarily comprised of the operations of TruPet and Bona Vida.  The strategic objective for combining the two complementary businesses was to create a leading innovative holistic pet wellness company operating in a rapidly evolving and growing industry.

The Company’s board of directors (“The Board”) consists of five directors: the current chairman of the Company who was the prior chairman of Bona Vida, two prior directors from TruPet, one prior director from Bona Vida, and one director who was a TruPet managing member as well as the prior chairman of the Company.

TruPet was determined to be the accounting acquirer of the Company and Bona Vida.  As such, the historical financial statements are those of TruPet, and TruPet’s equity has been re-cast to reflect the equity structure of the Company and the shares of Common Stock received. Better Choice exchanged 14,229,041 shares for the outstanding membership interest in TruPet.

The Acquisitions were accounted for as asset acquisitions. The purchase price for Better Choice Company was $37.9 million which includes stock, minority interest, fully vested stock-based compensation and transaction expenses.  The transaction price of Better Choice Company includes 100% of all outstanding stock valued at net $32.7 million, non-cash transaction costs of $4.8 million, cash transaction costs of $0.4 million and fully vested stock-based compensation with an estimated fair value measurements,of $0.1 million.  The stock exchanged in the Acquisition of Better Choice Company is equal to the 3,915,856 shares of Better Choice Company outstanding prior to the issuance of additional shares in the Acquisitions, at the market price of $6.00 per share. The total purchase price has been allocated based on an estimate of the fair value of Better Choice Company’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the remainder recorded as an expense.  The loss on acquisition of Better Choice Company’s net liabilities is $39.6 million.

The purchase price for Bona Vida was $108.6 million for 100% of all outstanding stock.  At the closing of the Bona Vida transaction, the Company issued 18,103,273 shares of Common Stock in exchange for 100% of the outstanding shares of Bona Vida. The fair value of Bona Vida’s net assets acquired is estimated to be $0.8 million.  The estimated purchase price has been allocated based on an estimate of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  The excess of the purchase price over the net assets acquired has been recorded as an expense.  The loss on acquisition of Bona Vida’s net assets is $107.8 million.

On May 6, 2019, the fair value of the following assets and liabilities were acquired resulting in the total loss of approximately $147.4 million:

The results of operations of the acquired entities are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements subsequent to the date of Acquisitions.
In connection with the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, the Company identified an error in the consolidated financial statements for the six month period ended June 30, 2019 related to the overstatement of Loss on Acquisitions of $2.6 million in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.   This was primarily due to a change in the estimated purchase price, which also resulted in errors in the statement of stockholders’ deficit.  The errors were all corrected during the three month period ended September 30, 2019.  The Company believes the correction of these errors is not material to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the three month period ended September 30, 2019.
Note 3 – Revenue
The Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods. The Company has two revenue channels, direct to consumer (“DTC”) and wholesale.  Nearly all of the Company’s revenue is derived from the DTC channel which represents 95% of consolidated revenue; the wholesale channel represents 5% of consolidated revenue. The majority of these sales transactions are single performance obligations that are recorded when control is transferred to the customer.  The Company offers a loyalty program to its DTC customers which creates a separate performance obligation.

The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company generates its revenue, by revenue channel.

The Company’s DTC products are offered through the online stores where customers place orders directly for delivery across the United States. Revenue is recorded, net of discounts, at the time the order is shipped to the customer as this is when it has been determined that control has been transferred, and includes shipping paid by customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration, net of discounts, the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the merchandise. The Company has elected to exclude from revenue all collected sales taxes paid by its customers.

Revenue is deferred for orders that have been placed, and paid for, but have not yet been shipped. Customers have a 60-day guarantee on the product purchased.  Based on the historical experience, the Company records an estimated liability for returns.  Product returns have historically not been significant to the financial statements taken as a whole.

For the Company’s DTC loyalty program, a portion of revenue is deferred at the time of the sale as points are earned based on the relative stand-alone selling price, and not recognized, until the redemption of the loyalty points.  The Company has applied a redemption rate based on the historical age of the points.

The customer has a material right in the form of future discounts with their accumulated points. For these transactions, the transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations based on the relative standalone selling price of loyalty points.  The standalone selling price for the points earned for the Company’s loyalty program is estimated using the net retail value of the merchandise purchased, adjusted for the redemption percentage based on historical redemption patterns.  The revenue associated with the initial merchandise purchased is recognized immediately and the narrative descriptionvalue assigned to the points is deferred until the points are redeemed. Customer points do not expire.

The Company’s wholesale channel includes the sale of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectivelygoods to wholesale customers for onlyresale. The wholesale sale of goods is considered a single performance obligation. The Company records revenue net of discounts. There is no shipping revenue on wholesale transactions and wholesale customers are not subject to sales tax.

Revenue for wholesale sales are recognized when the most recent interim or annual period presentedproduct is shipped to the wholesale customer as this is when it has been determined that control has been transferred, with the exception of the Company’s largest customer due to specific FOB destination shipping terms as this is when it has been determined that control has transferred.

The Company’s net revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss are net of sales taxes.

Note 4 - Inventories

Inventories are summarized as follows:

Dollars in thousands September 30, 2019  December 31, 2018

Note 8 – Operating Leases

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the FASB guidance on leases (“Topic 842”), which requires leases with durations greater than twelve months to be recognized on the balance sheet. The Company adopted Topic 842 using the modified retrospective transition approach.  Prior year financial statements were not recast under Topic 842, and therefore those amounts are not disclosed.  The Company has elected certain practical expedients, including the package of practical expedients to not reassess prior conclusions related to contracts containing leases, lease classification and initial fiscal yeardirect costs as well as an accounting policy to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component.  The Company also elected the optional transition method that gives companies the option to use the effective date as the date of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to allinitial application on transition, and as a result, the Company will not adjust its comparative period financial information or make the new required lease disclosures for periods presented upon theirbefore the effective date. EarlyThe Company has elected to make the accounting policy election for short-term leases.  Consequently, short-term leases will be recorded as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient.

The Company’s leases relate to our corporate offices and warehouse. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company records the related asset and obligation at the present value of lease payments over the term. Lease renewal options are not included in the measurement of the right-of-use assets and right-of-use liabilities unless the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the optional renewal periods.  The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.  Additionally, our leases contain rent escalations over the lease term and the Company recognizes expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Some of the Company’s leases include rent escalations based on inflation indexes, tenant allowances and fair market value adjustments.

In connection with the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, the Company identified an error as of January 1, 2019 related to the adoption of ASC 842, Leases, which resulted in an overstatement of less than $0.1 million for right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities, respectively.   The Company also identified an overstatement of Accumulated Deficit of less than $0.1 million as of January 1, 2019.  The errors related to impact upon adoption of ASC 842 were corrected during the three-and-nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019.  The Company believes the correction of these errors is permitted upon issuancenot material to the consolidated financial statements as of this Update. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removedand for the three-and-nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019.
For leases entered into or modified disclosures upon issuance of this Update and delayreassessed after the adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date.

new standard, the Company has elected the practical expedient allowed by the standard to account for all fixed consideration in a lease as a single lease component. Therefore, the lease payments used to measure the operating lease liability for these leases include fixed minimum rentals along with fixed operating costs such as common area maintenance and utilities.


The impactCompany’s leases do not provide a readily available implicit rate. Therefore, the Company estimates the incremental borrowing discount rate based on information available at lease commencement. The discount rates used are indicative of this ASUa synthetic credit rating based on quantitative and qualitative analysis.

Note 9 – Intangible Assets and Royalties

In April 2019, Better Choice Company entered into a licensing agreement with Authentic Brands and Elvis Presley Enterprises whereby Better Choice will be able to sell newly developed hemp-derived CBD products that will be marketed under the Elvis Presley Houndog name.  The license agreement required an upfront equity payment of $1 million worth of Common Stock.
Upon the Acquisitions on May 6, 2019, the Company acquired the license agreement and recorded it at its amortized cost which approximated fair value.

As there were no sales related to Houndog products during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, the Company determined that the minimum royalties paid through September 30, 2019 should be expensed. The Houndog license agreement was terminated in January 2020, refer to Note 23 - Subsequent Events.
Note 10 - Line of Credit and Due to Related Parties

In May 2017, the Company along with the majority owners serving as co-borrowers entered into a credit facility providing for up to $2 million of borrowings secured by the personal assets of the two majority owners. Through various amendments, the maximum borrowings under the credit facility increased to $4.6 million with a maturity of May 2019. Borrowings bear interest at LIBOR plus 3% and were repaid on May 6, 2019. At December 31, 2018, outstanding borrowings were $4.6 million.  Accrued interest recorded at December 31, 2018 was less than $0.1 million.

The credit facility was secured by personal assets of the co-borrowers, as noted above. Covenants under the credit facility required the Company to be within certain restrictions. As of December 31, 2018, the Company was in compliance with its covenants.

At December 31, 2018, due to related parties consisted of a $1.6 million unsecured note payable to the director of the Company bearing 26.6% interest with principal and interest due within 30 days after change of control, as described below.  On May 6, 2019, this loan was repaid.  There was no accrued interest recorded at December 31, 2018.   The unsecured note totaled $1.2 million during nine months ended September 30, 2018.

On May 6, 2019, the Better Choice Company refinanced the $4.6 million credit facility and the $1.6 million note payable to the director with a $6.2 million revolving line of credit agreement with a financial institution (the “revolving line of credit”). The $6.2 million revolving line of credit agreement (“revolving credit agreement”) is secured by $6.2 million in restricted cash held in a Money Market Account. All advances relating to this revolving credit agreement bear a fixed rate of interest equal to 3.7% per annum, which may be adjusted from time to time in the event that the interest payable on the Money Market Account increases where the interest rate on the revolving line of credit is 185 basis points higher than the rate payable on the Money Market Account. The Company paid an issuance fee of $8,856 upon closing, which was recorded as a contra liability and will be amortized over the life of the debt. . The Company is also required to pay a late charge equal to 5% of the aggregate amount of any payments of principal and/or interest that are paid more than 10 days after the due date.  This revolving credit agreement matures on May 6, 2020 and requires that the Company maintain the $6.2 million restricted deposits on account at the bank.  If withdrawals are made from the account, the amount available under the revolving credit agreement decreases by the amount of the withdrawal.

Management has determined that the fair value of debt approximates the carrying value of the revolving line of credit given its short-term nature.

The Company has granted the Lender a security interest in all assets of the Company owned or later acquired. The revolving credit agreement also contains certain events of default, representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and its subsidiaries. For example, the revolving credit agreement contains representations and covenants that, subject to exceptions, restrict the Company’s unaudited condensed financialability to do the following, among things: incur additional indebtedness, engage in certain asset sales, or undergo a change in ownership. As of September 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with its covenants.

Interest expense of approximately $0.2 million was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss related to the lines of credit and the director note for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million for three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Interest expense of approximately $0.1 million was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss related to the lines of credit for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Note 11 – Warrant Derivative Liability

On December 12, 2018, the Company closed a private placement offering (the “December Offering”) of 1,425,641 units (the “Units”), each unit consisting of (i) one share of the Company’s Common Stock and (ii) a warrant to purchase one half of a share of Common Stock. The Units were offered at a fixed price of $1.95 per Unit for gross proceeds of $2.8 million. Costs associated with the December Offering were $0.1 million, and net proceeds were $2.7 million. The December Offering generated $2.6 million of net proceeds that were received by the Company during the period ended December 31, 2018 for the sale of 1,400,000 Units, and $0.1 million of the net proceeds were received on January 8, 2019 for the sale of 25,641 Units. The warrants are exercisable over a two-year period at the initial exercise price of $3.90 per share.

The warrants include an option to settle in cash in the event of a change of control of the Company and a reset feature if the Company issues shares of common stock with a strike price below $3.90 per share, which requires the Company to record the warrants as a derivative liability. The Company calculates the fair value of the derivative liability through a Monte Carlo Model that values the warrants based upon a probability weighted discounted cash flow model.

At May 6, 2019, the derivative liability was recorded at fair value as part of the purchase price of Better Choice Company by TruPet. The following schedule shows the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities for the period from May 6, 2019 through September 30, 2019.

At September 30, 2019, the Company would be required to pay $0.3 million if all warrants were settled in cash or issue 712,823 shares if all warrants were settled in shares.

Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies

We have entered into lease, royalty and line of credit agreements for which we are committed to pay certain amounts over a period of time.  See Notes 8, 9, and 10.

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to certain claims or lawsuits. Management is not expectedaware of any claims or lawsuits that may have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

The Company has historically collected and remitted sales tax based on the locations of its significant physical operations. On June 21, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court rendered a 5-4 majority decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair Inc., 17-494. Among other things, the Court held that a state may require an out-of-state seller with no physical presence in the state to be material.

There are various other updates recently issued, mostcollect and remit sales taxes on goods the seller ships to consumers in the state, overturning existing court precedent.  Additionally, the Company discovered that TruPet had not collected and paid sales tax related to all sales in some states where it had a physical presence.  The Company has estimated and recorded $1.2 million of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries andsales tax liability as of September 30, 2019.  While additional assessments are not expected to aanticipated, additional states may assert that the Company has nexus and must pay sales tax for prior sales.  We do not believe that additional assessments, if any, will have a material impact on our unaudited condensed financial position or results of operations or cash flows. 

operations.


Note 214Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring net losses from operations resulting in an accumulated deficit of $5,554,071 and net working capital deficiency of $190,511 as of November 30, 2018. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management is actively pursuing new ventures to increase revenues. In addition, the Company is currently seeking additional sources of capital to fund short term operations and repay indebtedness. The Company, however, is dependent upon its ability to secure equity and/or debt financing and there are no assurances that the Company will be successful, therefore, without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. 

The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of any uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The unaudited condensed financial statements also do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Note 10 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Under FASB ASC 820-10-05, the FASB establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement reaffirms that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements as reflected herein. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported on the balance sheet are estimated by management to approximate fair value primarily due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company had no other items that required fair value measurement on a recurring basis.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlationforeign currency exchange contracts, option contracts, or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK

Sport Endurance is a Nevada corporation that is currently seeking to enter into the cannabidiol (“CBD”), hemp, or legal marijuana industries and market various products in one of those industries. As of the date of this report, the Company has no written agreements to acquire any businesses. We cannot assure you we will be successful in making any acquisitions.

On December 17, 2018 the Company acquired a minority interest in TruPet, a limited liability company that provides nutritional food, supplements, and pet care products for dogs, cats, and horses. On December 28, 2018, the Company announced that it had signed a letter of intent to acquire TruPet which is expected to occur during the first quarter of 2019, subject to negotiation and execution of a definitive Agreement and other customary closing conditions. The Company must also complete a financing to finalize the TruPet acquisition assuming it can reach an agreement on terms.

For the three months ended November 30, 2018, we had a net income of $505,220 compared to a net loss of $110,7006% for the three months ending September 30, 2019 and 2018.  Accounts receivable from the largest customer represented 38% and 54% of accounts receivable at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.


Note 21 - Net Loss per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to Common Stockholders is presented using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the amount the employee must pay for exercising stock options and the amount of compensation cost for future service that has not yet recognized are collectively assumed to be used to repurchase shares.

Basic and diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to Common Stockholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period.  For the three and nine month periods ended NovemberSeptember 30, 2017.  Our2019 and 2018, the Company’s basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to Common Stockholders are the same, because the Company has generated a net loss to Common Stockholders and Common Stock equivalents are excluded from diluted net loss per share as they have an antidilutive impact.

The following table sets forth basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to Common Stockholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

Note 22 - Going Concern

The Company has incurred losses over the last three years and has an accumulated deficit as of November 30, 2018 was $5,554,071.deficit. These conditions raiseoperating losses create substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern over the next 12 months.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended November 30, 2018and 2017

Revenues

The Company had sales of $0 during the three months ended November 30, 2018 compared to $214 for the three months ended November 30, 2017.  The Company had cost of goods sold in the amount of $0 for gross profit of $0 during the three months ended November 30, 2018 compared to cost of goods sold in the amount of $27 for gross profit of $187 during the three months ended November 30, 2017. 

Selling, general and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses were $147,523 for the three months ended November 30, 2018 compared to $85,243 for the three months ended November 30, 2017, an increase of $62,280.  The increase was primarily due to an increase in legal and accounting fees.  

Interest expense

Net interest expense for the three months ended November 30, 2018 was $133,545 compared to $136,925 for the three months ended November 30, 2017, a decrease of $3,380.  The decrease was due primarily to the non-cash expense of the amortization of discounts on notes payable during the period.

Gain on exchange of debt and equity

During the three months ended November 30, 2018, the Company recorded a gain in the amount of $472,267 on exchange of debt and equity to preferred stock. There were no such comparable transactions during the three months ended November 30, 2017.

Change in fair value of derivative liability

The Company had a non-cash gain of $314,021 on revaluation of derivative liabilities during the three months ended November 30, 2018, an increase of $202,740 compared to a non-cash gain of $111,281 in the three months ended November 30, 2017.  The increase in the gain was due to mark to market adjustments on our convertible notes.

Net income (loss)

For the reasons above, our net income for the three months ended November 30, 2018 was $505,220, an increase of $615,920 compared to a net loss of $110,700 for the three months ended November 30, 2017.

The Company had cash used in operating activities of $148,801 during the three months ended November 30, 2018.  This primarily consisted of the Company’s net income of $505,220, decreased by non-cash gain on exchange of debt and equity of $472,267 and by a change in the market value of derivative liabilities in the amount of $314,022, offset by amortization of discount on convertible debt in the amount of $118,708. The Company’s cash position also increased by $13,560 as a result of changes in components of current assets and current liabilities.

During the three months ended November 30, 2018, the Company had no cash flows from investing activities.

During the three months ended November 30, 2018, the Company had cash used in financing activities in the amount of $27,271, consisting of the purchase of 27,271,500 shares from two shareholders in a series of private transactions.  

With the proceeds of the Company’s recent private placement and after the making of a $2.2 million equity investment in TruPet, the Company had $297,858 of cash as of January 10, 2019 which should be sufficient to meet our working capital needs for at least the next 12 months. However, it is not likely we can complete an acquisition including that of TruPet without completing a financing. The amount and type of financing and its dilution to existing shareholders cannot be determined at this time.

We anticipate that we will incur operating losses in the next 12 months. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development.  Such risks for us include, but are not limited to, the risks described in our Form 10-K filed on December 21, 2018.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This Report contains forward-looking statements including statements regarding changing the direction of our business, our ability to acquire TruPet, the availability of future financing, and our liquidity. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this report, including statements regarding our future financial position, liquidity, business strategy, the acquisition of TruPet, and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “could,” “target,” “potential,” “is likely,” “will,” “expect” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs.

The results anticipated by any or all of these forward-looking statements might not occur. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include those relating to the capital markets summarized under Liquidity and Capital Resources and the risk factors in the Form 10-K for fiscal 2018.  Any forward-looking statement made by us in this report speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as the result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Going concern.

Our unaudited condensed financial statements are prepared using GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred continuous losses from operations, have an accumulated deficit of $5,554,071 and net working capital deficit of $190,511 at November 30, 2018, and have reported negative cash flows from operations since Inception. In addition, we do not currently have the cash resources to meet our operating commitments for the next twelve months.  The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern must be considered in lightfor a period of twelve months from the problems, expenses, and complications frequently encountered by entrance into established markets and the competitive nature in which we operate.

Our ability to continue asdate these consolidated financial statements are issued.


The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In making this assessment, management conducted a comprehensive review of the Company’s affairs. We reviewed sales and profitability forecasts for the Company for the next fiscal year including the impact of the acquisition of Halo, Purely for Pets, Inc. (“Halo”) on December 20, 2019.

The Company believes its available cash together with future capital raises and available borrowings, are sufficient to fund planned operations and operate its business for the next 12 months. The Company continues to have access to the public markets for additional funds for operations as well as refinancing of existing loans.
If the Company is dependentunable to raise the necessary funds when needed or achieve planned cost savings, or other strategic objectives are not achieved, the Company may not be able to continue its operations or the Company could be required to modify its operations that could slow future growth. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Note 23 - Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date on which the consolidated financial statements were issued.

Lease Operations

In October 2019, the Company moved its distribution center to its new facility.  The lease on its new distribution facility was signed in May 2019.

In November 2019, the Company terminated its month-to-month office lease at its Milford, Ohio location and started a new month-to-month lease in Blue Ash, Ohio.

Subordinated Convertible Notes

In connection with the Convertible Notes, the purchasers will be issued warrants (each, a “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of common stock par value $0.001 of the Company (the “Common Stock”) equal to 62.5 Warrants for each Note. Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock of the Company for a period of 24 months from the date of the consummation of a future initial public offering (“IPO”) at an exercise price equal to the greater of (i) $5.00 per share or (ii) the price at which the Common Stock of the Company was sold in the IPO. The issue price per Convertible Note is $1,000 and the maturity date is two years from the issue date. The Convertible Notes include interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum from the date of issue, payable quarterly. Fifty percent of the interest shall be payable in kind and the remainder shall be payable in cash. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general working capital needs.
Halo Acquisition

Under the terms of the Amended Agreement, the Company completed the Acquisition on December 19, 2019, for approximately $45 million pending final valuation of non-cash components issued to the sellers in the acquisition. The consideration was subject to customary adjustments for Halo’s net working capital, cash, and indebtedness, and consisted of a combination of (i) cash consideration, (ii) a total of 2,134,390 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and (iii) transaction costs. The Company also (i) entered into a Subscription Agreement with the Sellers relating to the issuance of the Common Stock Consideration, (ii) issued convertible subordinated seller notes (“Seller Notes”), and (iii) issued Seller Warrants on December 19, 2019.

The interest shall be payable by increasing the aggregate principal amount of the Seller Notes. The Seller Notes may be converted into shares of Common Stock at any time prior to the last Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date and shall be automatically converted into Common Stock upon an IPO. The conversion price shall be equal to the lower of $4.00 per share or the price at which the Common Stock was sold in an IPO. In the event of a change of control, each holder of the Seller Notes shall have the option to (i) convert all of the Seller Notes held by such holder into a replacement note issued by the new issuer in an aggregate principal amount equal to 104% of the outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued interest on, the Seller Notes held by such holder or (ii) require the Company to repay all of the outstanding principal amount of the Seller Notes held by such holder at a redemption price of 4% of the sum of all outstanding principal amount of the Seller Notes held by such holder plus all accrued interest thereon. If any such holder of Seller Notes fails to make an election above within thirty days of receipt of written notice of the change of control, all principal and accrued interest under the Seller Notes held by such holder shall automatically convert into Common Stock at the conversion price.
Loan Agreement
On December 19, 2019, the Company entered into a Loan Facilities Agreement (the “Facilities Agreement”) by and among the Company, as the borrower, the several lenders from time to time parties thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”) and a private debt lender, as agent (the “Agent”) that provides for a term loan facility not to exceed $20.5 million (the “Term Facility”) and a revolving demand loan facility not to exceed $7.5 million (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Term Facility, the “Facilities”). The Facilities are scheduled to mature on December 19, 2020 or such earlier date on which a demand is made by the Agent or any Lender. The obligations of the Company under the Facilities Agreement are guaranteed by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and the assets of its domestic subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Facilities bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the floating annual rate of interest established from time to time by the Bank of Montreal plus 8.05% calculated on the daily outstanding balance of the Facilities and compounded monthly. The revolving line of credit was satisfied in full on the same date.  Three directors of the Company entered into a Continuing Personal Guaranty agreement as a condition to the Facilities Agreement.
Amended Subordinated Convertible Notes
The Subordinated Convertible Notes were amended on January 6th, 2020. Pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note (the “Notes”) issued on November 11, 2019, the Purchasers have the right to amend and restate the Note and related documents to incorporate the preferable terms of any convertible promissory notes issued after November 11, 2019, so long as the Note is outstanding. As disclosed in the Company’s 8-K issued on December 26, 2019, the Company issued convertible subordinated notes to the Sellers and Werner von Pein. The Amended Agreement was entered into in order to incorporate only the preferable terms of the convertible subordinated notes issued to the Sellers and all other terms and provisions of the Note shall remain in full force and effect. Pursuant to the Amended Notes, the interest shall be payable by increasing the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (such increase being referred to therein as “PIK Interest”). As amended, for so long as any Event of Default (as defined in the Note) exists, interest shall accrue on the Note principal at the default interest rate of 12.0% per annum, and such accrued interest shall be immediately due and payable. As amended, the provisions of the Note that provided for an additional number of shares of Common Stock to the Investor if the IPO (as defined in the Note) had not been completed by June 30, 2020, have been removed.
2019 Incentive Award Plan

On November 11, 2019, the Company received shareholder approval for the Amended and Restated 2019 Incentive Award Plan.  Under the Amended and Restated 2019 Incentive Award Plan, the number of awards available for issuance increased from 6,000,000 to 9,000,000 with the closing of the Halo Acquisition on December 20, 2019

Effective as of December 19, 2019, the Board repriced all outstanding options to purchase Common Stock issued pursuant to the 2019 Better Choice Amended and Restated Incentive Award Plan, including options held by executive officers. As a result, the exercise price of all Options was lowered to $1.82 per share, the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on December 19, 2019. No other terms of the Options were changed.  Damian Dalla-Longa, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Andreas Schulmeyer, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, and Anthony Santarsiero, President of the Company, are the executive officers who hold Options subject to the repricing.

The Board effectuated the repricing to realign the value of the Options with their intended purpose, which is to retain and motivate the holders of the Options to continue to work in the best interests of the Company. Prior to the repricing, many of the Options had exercise prices well above the recent market prices of the Common Stock. The Options were repriced unilaterally, and the consent of holders was neither necessary nor obtained.

Stock and Warrant Issuance
On December 31, 2019, the Company issued 20,371 stock options at a strike price of $2.70 to Mr. Schulmeyer as a sign on bonus as per the employment agreement
On January 3, 2020, the Company issued 308,642 shares of Common Stock to an investor for net proceeds of $0.5 million, net of issuance costs of less than $0.1 million.

During January 2020, the Company issued shares below the exercise price of warrants acquired on May 6, 2019.  Pursuant to the warrant agreement, the Company is required to issue an additional 1,003,232 warrants to its warrant holders at a $1.62 exercise price and revise the existing warrants to an exercise price of $1.62.
The stock issued in conjunction with the Halo acquisition triggered an anti-dilution clause as part of an agreement with a third party. The Company will settle the required issuance of an additional 250,000 shares in the first quarter of 2020.

ABG Termination
On January 16, 2020, the Company terminated the Houndog licensing agreement (“Agreement”) with Associated Brands Group and Elvis Pressley Enterprises due to business judgment. As part of the termination, the Company agreed to the following: (1) to pay ABG One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($0.1 million) in cash upon the signing of this Agreement, (2) to issue to ABG Seventy Two Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty (72,720) shares of BTTR’s common stock, (3) to pay to ABG One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($0.1 million) in cash in four equal installments, (4) to issue to ABG Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($0.6 million) in Subordinated Promissory Notes (the “Notes”), with the condition being that if the Company sells existing inventory in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($0.1 million), the Six Hundred Thousand Dollar ($0.6 million) Subordinated Promissory Note will be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis and (5) to issue to ABG a common stock purchase warrant (the “Warrants”) equating to a value of $150,000.
The Notes are scheduled to mature on June 30, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”) and accrue interest at 10.00% per annum from January 13, 2020, until the Maturity Date, payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. The interest shall be payable by increasing the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (such increase being referred to herein as “PIK Interest”). The Notes may be converted into shares of Common Stock at any time prior to the last Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date and shall be automatically converted into Common Stock upon an IPO (as defined in the Notes).

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview and Outlook
Better Choice Company is a holistic pet wellness company providing high quality raw Cannabidiol (“CBD”) infused and non-CBD infused food, treats, and supplements in addition to dental care products and accessories for pets and their human parents.  Our products are formulated and manufactured using only high-quality ingredients manufactured, tested and packaged to our specifications.
On February 2, 2019 and February 28, 2019, respectively, Better Choice Company entered into definitive agreements to acquire through stock exchange agreements, approximately 93% of the outstanding limited liability company interest of TruPet LLC and all of the outstanding shares of Bona Vida, Inc., an emerging hemp-based CBD platform focused on developing a portfolio of brand and product verticals within the animal health and wellness space. On May 6, 2019, Better Choice Company consummated the stock exchange transactions whereby TruPet LLC and Bona Vida, Inc. became wholly owned subsidiaries of Better Choice Company. For accounting and financial reporting purposes, the transaction has been treated as a reverse acquisition whereby TruPet is considered the acquiror of Better Choice Company and Bona Vida, Inc. Thus, the historical financial information of the registrant is that of TruPet even though the legal registrant remains Better Choice Company.
TruPet was founded in 2013 and has a track record of increasing its sales and customer base since that time. TruPet has contributed to and has benefited from the positive trend toward feeding pets a healthy, natural diet.  We pride ourselves on our customer service and ability to generate sufficient cashcommunicate and educate our customers.  During 2017 and 2018, we increased marketing investments to acquire new customers while also maintaining our relationship with our current customers.  During 2017, we launched the TruDog Love Club (“TLC”), a loyalty program that provides our customers with unique benefits including discounted prices, subscription shipments of replenishable products, free or reduced shipping, and other benefits not available to non-TLC members.  The program has expanded and now has two tiers of loyalty club members. Tier 1 awards customers with six points per dollar spent and tier 2, TLC, awards customers with twelve points per dollar spent and provides opportunities to earn points at a higher rate.  The number of loyalty members has grown to approximately 28,000 club members since its inception. Approximately 76% of DTC sales during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019 and approximately 81% of DTC sales during the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 were from operationsreturning customers including TLC club members.
In order to meetobtain customers, we invest in advertising on social media sites and offer products to first time buyers at significant discounts.  Our goal is to blend different acquisition channels as efficiently as possible in our cash needs and/or to raise funds to finance ongoing operations and repay debt.  There can be no assurance, however,advertising so that we willobtain the most customers for the least amount of spend while maintaining our target growth rates.  We are currently evaluating various long-term metrics for customer acquisition to determine the optimum mix of customer acquisition spend.
During 2018, we experienced two separate recalls of our products as a result of the detection of salmonella.  Since that time, we and our third-party manufacturing partners have increased testing of each product batch to avoid any additional recalls.  While we do not believe we lost customers because of the recalls, we did incur additional shipping and customer service expenses to alleviate and avoid additional backlogs in product shipments caused by the recalls.  We allowed products to be successfulshipped from the manufacturing plants to the warehouse using truckloads not at full capacity, or LTL, which is more expensive than limiting our shipments to full-capacity truckloads.  We also shipped customer orders in several shipments, rather than waiting to fulfill entire orders as certain products were backlogged due to the recall. To address the additional strain on our customer service function, we also expanded the number and hours of our customer service representatives to help guide our customers through the recall process, resulting in an increase to our customer service costs.
Fiscal Year End
On May 21, 2019, the Board approved a change fiscal year from August 31 to December 31 to align with TruPet fiscal year end.  The fiscal year change for the Company is effective with our 2019 fiscal year, which begins January 1, 2019 and ends December 31, 2019.
Components of Our Results of Operations
Net Sales
We sell non-CBD and CBD infused product for pets, including private branded freeze dried and dehydrated raw foods, supplements, dental care products for dogs, and treats and accessories for dogs, cats, and pet parents.  We sell our products through our online portal directly to our consumers and through online retailers and pet specialty retail stores. Our products are sold under the TruDog, RawGo, TruCat, OraPup and Bona Vida brands.
Net sales include revenue derived from the sale of our products and related shipping fees offset by promotional discounts, refunds and loyalty points earned.  We offer a variety of promotions and incentives to our customers including daily discounts, multi-bag purchase discounts and coupon codes for initial purchases.  Historically, our net sales have been driven by our distribution of our products through our direct to consumer channel.  However, sales through the wholesale channel have become a more important component of our growth in net sales and gross profit.
Key factors that affect our future sales growth include: our new product introduction in both the non-CBD and CBD markets, our expansion into wholesale and other specialty channels, entry into the market of competitors in the CBD industry and international expansion. We recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods. Revenue is recognized at the time the order is shipped to the DTC customers and the majority of wholesale customers, as this is when control transfers, with the exception of the Company’s largest customer due to specific FOB designation shipping terms We record a revenue reserve based on past return rates to account for customer returns.
Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit
Our products are manufactured to our specifications by contracted manufacturing plants.  We design our packaging in-house for manufacture by third parties. Packaging is shipped directly to contracted manufacturing plants. We directly source the hemp derived CBD oils used in our effortsproducts from select suppliers to raiseensure product quality and traceability of the ingredient. CBD oils are shipped to our warehouse and forwarded to our contracted manufacturing partners as needed for production. Our contract manufacturers procure the raw food ingredients, manufacture, test and package our products.  Cost of goods sold consists primarily of the cost of product obtained from the contract manufacturing plants, packaging materials and CBD oils directly sourced by the Company, and freight for shipping product from our contract manufacturing plants to our warehouse. We review inventory on hand periodically to identify damages, slow moving inventory, and/or aged inventory. Based on the analysis, we record inventories on the lower of cost and net realizable value, with any reduction in value expensed as cost of goods sold.
We calculate gross profit as net sales, including any shipping revenue collected from our customers, less cost of goods sold. Our gross profit has been and, we expect, will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, primarily product sales mix, volumes sold, discounts offered to our club members, discounts offered to newly acquired and recurring customers, the cost of our manufactured products, and the cost of freight from the manufacturer to our warehouse. Changes in cost of goods sold and gross profit may be driven by the volume and price of our sales, including the extent of discounts offered, variations in the cost of CBD and the price we pay for our manufactured products and variations in our freight costs.
Operating Expenses
General and administrative expenses include management and office personnel compensation and bonuses, share-based compensation, corporate level information technology related costs, rent, travel, professional service fees, costs related to merchant credit card fees, shipping costs, insurance, product development costs and general corporate expenses. We expect general and administrative expenses to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we expand our commercial infrastructure to both drive and support our planned growth in revenue and support the additional costs associated with being a public company.
Sales and marketing expenses include costs related to compensation for sales personnel, other costs related to the selling platform, as well as marketing, including paid media and content creation expenses.  Marketing expenses consist primarily of Facebook and other media ads, other advertising and marketing costs, all geared towards acquiring new customers and building brand awareness. We expect selling expense to continue to grow as we actively acquire new online customers and begin to build our wholesales channel.
Customer service and warehousing costs include the cost of our customer service department, including our in-house call center, and costs associated with warehouse operations, including but not limited to payroll, rent, and warehouse management systems.
Interest Expense
Interest expense originates from debt incurred under a under a revolving credit agreement entered into in May 2019, and under our note payable to a prior TruPet LLC member, corporate credit cards, our line of credit agreement and other debt in place prior to the Acquisitions.
Income Taxes
Our income tax provision consists of an estimate of federal and state income taxes based on enacted federal and state tax rates, as adjusted for allowable credits, deductions and uncertain tax positions. During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, we did not record income tax expense.  TruPet was a limited liability company until the May 6, 2019 acquisitions. Subsequent to the consummation of the Acquisitions, the Company, as a corporation, is required to provide for income taxes.

Net Sales
Net sales increased $0.5 million, or equity capital and/5%, to $11.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $11.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Net sales decreased less than $0.1 million, or that1%, to $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.
Net sales increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as a result of increased media and acquisition spend and a shift to higher unit priced products. Our TruDog brand shifted away from dental products during the first half of 2019 towards consumable food and topper sales. Dental products were effective for initial customer acquisition but return and retention rates were relatively low. Although food and topper products are not as effective in initial customer conversion as the dental products, food and topper products yield a better lifetime value as retention and repeat rates are higher. Over the nine-month period ended on September 30, 2019, 76% of our products sold were to repeat customers.
The decrease in net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018 were the result of a more competitive customer acquisition environment where we had to spend more on acquisition costs to achieve the same level of sales.  We continue to see high retention rates of returning customers either through our subscription offers or from repeat purchases. During the three-month period ended September 2019, 81% of sales were to repeat customers. Repeat customers earned and redeemed TLC loyalty points at a higher rate in the period ended September 30, 2019 than in any prior period. By focusing on repeat customers, we can reduce the initial discounting we offer first time customers, effectively raising our average unit revenue. We expect the share of returning sales to continue to grow as we focus our acquisition spend on high value, repeat buyers. Online retail partners sales dropped slightly as we continued to focus on driving traffic to our own sites.
Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit
Cost of goods sold increased $1.4 million, or 24%, to $7.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily due to a mix shift to food and topper products, which have higher costs than dental products offset by improved conversion costs from our manufacturing partners as we continue to negotiate and expect to see further cost reductions as we rationalize the product offering and gain scale in the remaining products. We also expensed $0.6 million in royalty expenses in the nine-month period ended in September 30, 2019 related to our licensing contract for the Houndog brand from Elvis Presley Enterprises. The cost of hemp derived CBD oils has declined in the market, thus, reducing our ingredient costs.  In the nine-month periods ended on September 30, 2019 and 2018, the inventory reserve taken was $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for slow moving and discontinued items. As a percentage of revenue, cost of goods sold increased to 62% during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 52% during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Cost of goods sold increased $0.6 million, or 26%, to $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.  During the three-months ended on September 30, 2019, we continued to negotiate for improved conversion costs from our manufacturing partners and saw the initial benefits of our reduction efforts. We also expensed $0.6 million in royalty expenses in the nine-month period ended in September 30, 2019 related to our licensing contract for the Houndog brand from Elvis Presley Enterprises. The inventory review at the end of the three-month period ended on September 30, 2019 led to an inventory reserve charge of $0.2 million for the quarter as compared to a reserve of less than $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. As a percentage of revenue, cost of goods sold increased to 79% during the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 62% during the three months ended September 30, 2018.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, gross profit decreased $0.9 million, or 17%, to $4.4 million compared to $5.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.  Gross profit margin decreased to 38% from 48% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The ongoing shift into food and topper products from the dental products sold in 2018 and through the first half of 2019, the discounting of discontinued products and the Houndog royalty expense reduced the gross profit margin for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2019.
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, gross profit decreased $0.7 million, or 45%, to $0.8 million compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.  Gross profit margin also decreased to 21% from 38% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018.  During the three-months ended on September 30, 2019, we incurred the Houndog royalty expense of $0.6 million.
Operating Expenses
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $8.0 million, or 200% to $12.0 million compared to $4.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018.  The increase resulted from the expansion of our corporate staff and the incurrence of professional fees post-acquisitions as we began building the infrastructure to support our status as a public company.  We saw higher than normal shipping costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 due to a product recall. During this period, we shipped partial orders and replacement product, increasing our shipping expenses.
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $3.5 million, or 262%, to $4.9 million compared to $1.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018.  The increase resulted from the expansion of our corporate staff and the incurrence of professional fees post-acquisition as we began building the infrastructure to support our status as a public company.  In the three months ended September 30, 2019, we achieved lower  unit shipping costs as we gain scale and shipping efficiency.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred share-based compensation of $6.7 million, as compared to share based compensation of $0 during the nine months ended in September 30, 2018. The increase in equity-based compensation was driven by awards issued as part of the Incentive Plan.
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred share-based compensation of $2.5 million, as compared to share based compensation of $0 during the three months ended in September 30, 2018. The increase in equity-based compensation was driven by awards issued as part of the 2019 Incentive Plan.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, sales and marketing expenses, including paid media, increased approximately $4.4 million, or 108%, to $8.5 million from $4.1 million during the nine months ended in September 30, 2018 as a result of increased new customer acquisition efforts. TruPet traditionally invested in Facebook advertisement to drive traffic to the site. We increased spending on Facebook and Google and began to invest in other media outlets to build brand awareness. In August 2019, we tested radio advertisement for our CBD infused pet treats to drive incremental demand for the products. We paused the radio advertising at the end of September 2019, as we did not see the expected pickup in CBD sales.
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, sales and marketing expenses, including paid media, increased approximately $1.6 million, or 130%, to $2.9 million from $1.2 million during the three months ended in September 30, 2018 primarily due to a shift in media spending towards Facebook and Google advertisements as well as retargeting lapsed customers. In August 2019, we tested radio advertisement for our CBD infused pet treats to drive incremental demand for the products. We paused the advertising at the end of September 2019, as we did not see the expected pickup in CBD sales.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, other customer service and warehousing costs decreased $0.1 million, or 8%, to $0.8 million compared to $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.  We rationalized the operations in our warehouse at the end of 2018, reducing the staff and operating costs. The reductions in customer service and warehousing costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were offset by increased costs when we began renovating a new facility near Tampa, Florida to house our warehouse, fulfillment and administrative departments. Rent and associated utilities for this period are reflecting both the rent for the new facility as well as the existing facility.
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, customer service and warehousing costs decreased $0.1 million, or 13%, to $0.3 million compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. We rationalized the operations in our warehouse at the end of 2018, reducing staff and operating costs. The reductions in customer service and warehousing costs during the three months ended September 30, 2019 were offset by increased costs when we began renovating a new facility in Tampa, Florida to house our warehouse, fulfillment and administrative departments. Rent and associated utilities for this period are reflecting both the rent for the new facility as well as the existing facility.
Research and Development
We do not invest in non-CBD pet food research, but we do continually review sales of our existing products as well as those of non-CBD competitors to identify possible product extensions. We acquired two CBD related research agreements as part of the acquisition of Bona Vida Inc. We will invest resources into the effectiveness of CBD infused canine pet food to determine if specific strains of CBD are more effective than others in addressing canine health issues.  We are also conducting trials with existing products to determine optimal product formulations., We incurred less than $0.1 million of research and development expenses during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and $0 during the three-month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018. We expect to continue incur research and development expenses during the remainder of 2019 and in future periods.  Research and development costs are included in general and administrative costs.
Interest Expense, Net
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, interest expense increased $0.1 million, or 76% to $0.2 million compared to $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.  Interest expense increased primarily due to the refinancing of the Company’s line of credit agreement of $6.2 million on May 6, 2019 versus an interest free shareholder loan for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018.
During the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, interest expense was less than $0.1 million.
Income Taxes
No provision has been made for federal and state income taxes prior to the date of the acquisitions since the proportionate share of TruPet’s income or loss was included in the personal tax returns of its members because TruPet was a limited liability company.  Subsequent to the acquisitions, the Company, as a corporation is required to provide for income taxes.
The effective tax rate subsequent to the acquisitions 0%. The effective tax rate differs from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21% primarily because our previously reported losses have been offset by a valuation allowance due to uncertainty as to the realization of those losses.
Loss from Acquisition
Note 2 in the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements details the impact of the transaction on May 6, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our founding, we have financed our operations primarily through sales of member units as a limited liability company, sales of shares of Common Stock and warrants, as a corporation, preferred stock, loans and cash flows generated by our future operations will be adequate to meet our needs.operations. At September 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $9.0 million (including restricted cash of $6.2 million) which represented an increase of $5.1 million from December 31, 2018.
The Company has incurred losses over the last three years and has an accumulated deficit. These factors, among others, indicate that we may be unableoperating losses create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. 

twelve months from the date these consolidated financial statements are issued.


The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In making this assessment, management conducted a comprehensive review of the Company’s affairs. We reviewed sales and profitability forecasts for the Company for the next fiscal year including the impact of the acquisition of Halo, Purely for Pets, Inc. on December 20, 2019.

The Company believes its available cash together with future capital raises and available borrowings, are sufficient to fund planned operations and operate its business for the next 12 months. The Company continues to have access to the public markets for additional funds for operations as well as refinancing of existing loans.
If the Company is unable to raise the necessary funds when needed or achieve planned cost savings, or other strategic objectives are not achieved, the Company may not be able to continue its operations or the Company could be required to modify its operations that could slow future growth. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Cash provided by (used in) operating activities consisted of net loss adjusted for non-cash items, including the loss on acquisitions, stock-based compensation expense, change fair value of in derivative liability, depreciation and amortization, changes in working capital and other activities.
Cash used in operating activities increased $10.2 million, or over 100%, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Cash used in operating activities was $13.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, which consisted of the net loss from operations of $170.3 million, offset by $147.0 million from the loss on acquisitions, $6.7 million in share-based compensation expense and a combined $3.6 million of net cash generated via changes in operating assets and current liabilities. Cash used in operating activities was $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, which consisted of net loss of $3.8 million, offset by a combined $0.8 million net cash generated via changes in operating assets and current liabilities.
The decrease in working capital (deficit) during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to an increase of accrued liabilities of $3.3 million offset by an increase in inventories of $0.7 million.

Cash flows from Investing Activities
Cash from investing activities decreased by $0.4 million, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from less than $0.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAPgenerally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amountamounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenuerevenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

Significant Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported periods. The more critical accountingamounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates include estimatesand judgments, including those related to revenue recognition and accounts receivable allowances. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve thebasis of presentation, use of estimates, cash and cash equivalents, inventory, revenue recognition, income taxes, fair value of financial instruments, fair value measurements, derivative financial instruments, basic and diluted loss per share, related parties, discontinued operations, and investments (see Note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements). We base our estimates on historical and anticipated results and trends and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results that differ from our estimates could have a significant adverse effect on our operating results and financial position. We believe that the significant accounting policies and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results, which are describedas detailed in Note 1 to our unaudited condensedthe financial statements appearing elsewhere incontained herein may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity than others.

Disclosure controls and procedures include, among other things,without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by usan issuer in the reports that we fileit files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to ourthe issuer’s management, including ourits principal executive officer and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, David Lelong, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on the evaluation, Mr. Lelong concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us that is required to be included in our periodic SEC filings and ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief financial officer, or personpersons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure forcontrols and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the following reasons:

The Company does not have an independent board of directors or audit committee or adequate segregation of duties;

All of our financial reporting is carried out by our financial consultant;

We do not have an independent body to oversee our internal controls over financial reporting and lack segregation of dutiesExchange Act) as of the quarter ended September 30, 2019. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2019 due to the limited nature and resources of the Company.

We plan to rectify these weaknesses by implementing an independent board of directors and hiring additional accounting personnel once we have additional resources to do so.

Changesthe material weakness described below.

A material weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting is a control deficiency (within the meaning of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) Auditing Standard No. 2), or a combination of control deficiencies, that occurred duringresult in there being more than a remote likelihood of material misstatement in the annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected.

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our most recent fiscal quartermanagement considered to be material weaknesses were: (1) The Company has not designed or implemented a system of internal controls. As a result, the Company does not have (i) segregation of duties and evidence of fiduciary oversight related to the financial statement close process, cash disbursements process, contract approval process and time and expense reimbursement process; (ii) formally documented accounting policies and procedures that have materially affected,are effective and consistently applied in accordance with GAAP; and (iii) effective controls and resources to address the accounting requirements for new accounting pronouncements. (2) The Company’s financial statement close process and disclosure controls and procedures, including the secondary review and approval of financial information generated to prepare the consolidated financial statements, and the functionality of underlying IT systems used to consolidate the Company’s subsidiaries, are ineffective.  As a result, the Company has been unable to close its books or are reasonably likelyfulfill its SEC reporting requirements in a timely manner. (3) The Company has ineffective controls for assessing its sales tax obligations, including timely payment and accrual recognition. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in connection with the review of our consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2019.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above did impact our ability to materially affect,report our financial results in a timely manner.
Management is in the process of determining how best to change our current system and implement a more effective system to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately. Our management acknowledges the existence of this problem and intends to develop procedures to address this problem to the extent possible given limitations in financial and manpower resources. While management is working on a plan, no assurance can be made at this point that the implementation of such controls and procedures will be completed in a timely manner or that they will be adequate once implemented.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In September 2019, the Company hired a Controller as part of its efforts to address internal accounting personnel deficiencies. In November 2019, the Company integrated a sales tax solution into the direct to consumer platform to ensure accurate sales tax accruals. In December 2019, the Company acquired Halo, Purely for Pets, Inc. The existing Halo finance team will support the process of bringing current outsourced processes in house.  There were no other significant changes in internal control over financial reporting.
